ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
1)MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT SOME YEARS AGO THAT DISPLAYS WARNING OR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. IT FLASHES OFF AND ON PERIODICALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT DUE TO IT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WANT DO ANYTING ABOUT IT. SEVERAL CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT. 2) I HAVE HAD BATTERY ISSUES WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR BACK IN NOV. 2011, SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY ALL THEY DID WAS REPLACE THE BATTERY. SINCE THEN EVERY YEAR OR TWO YEARS I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE BATTERY UNTIL HEAR RECENTLY JULY 2018. THIS WILL BE THE 4 OR 5 TIME REPLACING THIS BATTERY WITHIN THE 6 YEARS OF OWNIG THIS CAR. EVERYTIME I TATKE IT TO ONE OF NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THERE EXPLANATION IS THE TEXAS HEAT DRAINS THE BATTERY. THAT EXCUSE DOES NOT MAKE ANY SINCE TO ME.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING MY MAXIMA ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH AND THE RPM WAS FLUCTUATING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FROM 2000 TO 3000 RPM. IT WOULD NOT GO FROM THERE AND THE CAR DROPPED SPEED. THIS HAPPENED VARIOUS OF TIMES THROUGHOUT MY TRAVEL. I LOOKED UP PROBLEMS IT COULD OF BEEN AND I WALKED INTO A BLOG WITH MANY NISSAN CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION FOR THEIR VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
HAD A MINOR REAR END COLLISION. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AFTER CAR WAS REPAIRED. NISSAN DEALER STATED THE MAIN AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT WAS BAD AND THE WEIGHT OCCUPANT SENSOR WAS BAD. THIS ISSUE ALONE OF OVER $2,000 DOLLARS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE A TOTAL LOSS BY INSURANCE. THE MINOR DAMAGE SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE. THEREFORE NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THEIR ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SUPPLIERS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

SEATS
NOTICED THAT MY SEAT WAS ROCKING FORWARD AND BACKWARD WHEN BREAKING AND ACCELERATING. READ ON REPAIR PAL THAT NISSAN MURANO'S WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/DAMAGED-SEAT-ADJUSTER-ASSEMBLY-MAY-CAUSE-NOISEROCKING-MOVEMENT-780. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AS SEAT MAY COME LOOSE.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION ON CITY ROAD WITH A 45 MILE PER HOUR SPEED LIMIT. ALSO SLUGGISH ON A TURN. WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY THEN JUMP TO A HIGHER ACCELERATION. WAS ADVISED BY DEALER TO NOT DRIVE IT AND BRING IN. WAS FOUND TO HAVE 3 KILL CODES WHICH MEANT IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION TO THE TUNE OF $4300.00. CAR HAD 90,000 MILES AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. NO NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS MODEL YEAR ON THE POWERTRAIN. WAS ADVISED OTHER YEARS POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED BY NISSAN. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND WARRANTY AS THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON MANY 2012 MODELS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL GAUGE IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE, THE NEEDLE GOES BEYOND THE F MARK OR DROPS TO THE E MARK TRIGGERING THE LOW FUEL LIGHT TO COME ON. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, THIS WAS FOUND TO BE A RECALL IN THE QUEST HOWEVER MANY OTHER OWNERS OF OTHER NISSAN MODELS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. AN INVESTIGATION REALLY NEEDS TO BE LAUNCHED.

CAR HAS TRANS CODE P1778, WHILE TRAVELING AT 75MPH CAR WILL LOSE POWER AND RPMS JUMP VERY HIGH WITH NO ACCELERATION. CAR ONLY HAS 81,000 MILES, WHY IS IT THAT 1,000S OF VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE FOR THE CONSUMERS? SHAME ON NISSAN AND THE FEDERAL GOVT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY SUNROOF SHATTERED ON SUNDAY, JUNE 03 AT 12PM WHILE I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND TOWARDS CHICAGO ON 290 HIGHWAY. I WAS DRIVING AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE AND MY SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED. THE ROAD WAS CLEAR AND THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS AROUND ME. LUCKILY, I WASN'T INJURED. I HAVE ALREADY CHECKED WITH SEVERAL BODY SHOPS YESTERDAY, AND THE COST IS OVER $1000 TO FIX MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF. I ALSO REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CORPORATE, AND REPORTED THIS ISSUE. THE CASE NUMBER IS 31546264 AND I SPOKE WITH BARBARA, BADGE#7319182. SHE CALLED ME, 6/5/18 AT 10:34AM AND TOLD ME NISSAN WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THERE'S NO SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE. I TOLD HER I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE AND SHE ASKED ME TO SEND IT TO HER FOR REVIEW. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY PHOTOS OR EVIDENCE YESTERDAY WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT THE INCIDENT.
