ENGINE
I HAVE HAD MY 2017 MAXIMA INTO THE DEALERSHIP ( TIM DAHLE IN SALT LAKE CITY UT) ON 10-22 2019 FOR AN ANTI-FREEZE PROBLEM. THE ANTI-FREEZE IS BEING USED BUT NOT LEAKING ANYWHERE. THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR CAP AND DID NOT SEE ANY NOTICEABLE LEAKS , TOPPED OFF THE COOLING SYSTEM AND SAID COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE HOLDING TANK ON THE SIDE TO BE LOW. I DISAGREED AND THOUGHT IT WAS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, THEY SAID COULD SEE NO PROBLEM. A MONTH LATER I HAVE NO ANTI-FREEZE IN MY RESERVE TANK AFTER DRIVING ONLY ABOUT 50 MILES AROUND TOWN. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR NEW I NOTICED IT WAS LOW ON ANTI-FREEZE, A YEAR AGO I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY TOPPED OFF ANTI-FREEZE AND IT HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, THEY SAY THAT IS NORMAL AND I DISAGREE. MY WARRANTY IS UP IN JUNE OF 2020.

AIR BAGS
THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG (OFF) LIGHT STAYS LIT ON THE PASSENGER DASH, EVEN WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT IN THE SEAT, AND A SEPARATE ONE IS ON THE DRIVER'S DASH PANEL. WAS TOLD IT PROBABLY WAS A SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND WOULD COST ABOUT $1600. IT STAYS LIKE THAT AND NEVER CHANGES. NISSAN WANTS MONEY JUST TO TAKE A LOOK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY CAR ONLY HAS 112337 MILE AND NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION , NOW AT 112954 HAVE TO REPLACE THE ABS CONTROL MODULE . THE TRANSMISSION WAS HARD SHIFTING/ JERKING WHEN YOU GET TO ABOUT 30-35 MPH . SO IT COST ALMOST 4,000.00 TO FIX AND THE THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER QUIT WORKING AFTER 500 MILES WITH NEW TRANSMISSION AND TOOK THE CAR TO ELECTRICAL SHOP TO FIND OUT I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND AFTER ALL THE MONEY PUT IN THIS CAR I DON'T THINK IT IS WORTH FIXING THE ABS CONSIDERING I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCT. 2018 AND THOUGHT I GOT A GREAT CAR AND ALREDY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY PUT IN IT AND COULD NEVER SELL IT FOR THE MONEY I HAVE IN IT NISSAN SHOULD BE FIXING THESE ISSUES NOT ME CONSIDERING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AT THE SAME MILEAGE

THE DASHBOARD MELTING IS CAUSING EXTREME GLARE ON THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD AND DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE DAY OUT OF WINDSHIELD SO IT'S AFFECTING MY DRIVING ABILITY. AND EVERYTHING IS STICKING TO IT AND IT'S DESTROYING THE OTHER PARTS IN MY VEHICLE IT IS MELTING ON TOO. I HAVE SUN VISOR ON EVERYTIME OUT OF THE VEHICLE BUT STICKINESS IS ALWAYS THERE AND CONTINUES TO MELT REGARDLESS.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2009 MAXIMA CURRENTLY HAS 128,00 MILES ON IT. SATURDAY 10/26 MY TRANSMISSION WENT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, HEADED TO WORK, MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP! LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET ANOTHER QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE CAR STOPPING AGAIN IN AN EXIT LANE. AFTER TOWING IT TO MIDAS, THEY STATED THE TRANSMISSION WENT. FOR THE MILEAGE TO ONLY BE A QUARTER OVER 100K AND THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL IT HORRIBLE. I AM NOW LOOKING AT A $4200+ REPAIR.

AIR BAGS
AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR AND MY WIFE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE 'PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF' LIGHT LOCATED IN THE DASH ILLUMINATES INDICATING THE SYSTEM THINKS THE SEAT IS EMPTY. THIS IS RANDOM AND ALWAYS AFTER A PERIOD OF DRIVING THE CAR. MY WIFE WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 160#, AND IS SITTING FLAT BOTTOMED ON THE SEAT WITH BOTH FEET ON THE FLOOR. WE HAVE BEGUN TAKING CELL PHONE PHOTOS SHOWING A TIME AND DATE STAMP AS PROOF. WE ALSO HAVE SOME WITHOUT A TIME STAMP. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY REPORT 'NO PROBLEM FOUND'. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED. I AM WILLING TO PROVIDE THE PHOTOS AS PROOF. SO FAR THE TIMES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS IS AT HIWAY SPEEDS, FLAT AND LEVEL ROADWAYS.

WHAT CAUSES MY 2017 MAXIMA'S BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM TO RANDOMLY TURN OFF THEN BACK ON HOURS LATER? COULD FAULTY RADARS IN NISSAN'S EMERGENCY BRAKING KILL PEOPLE? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU RELY ON THESE SENSOR WHEN DRIVING AND THIS CAN CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS. WHEN THIS BSW SYSTEM FAILED, I DID CYCLE THE BLIND SPOT OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. I DID EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEMS WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR BUT I CHALKED UP TO MY NEWNESS TO THE CAR AND BRAND. WHAT IS NISSAN WILLING TO DO RESOLVE THIS UNSAFE SITUATION? TONY IN OHIO, USA

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROADWAY THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW THIS YEAR AND THIS INSTANCE WITH THE BRAKING HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THE ABS LIGHT IS NOW OFF AND IT HAS NOT 'PHANTOM BRAKED' OR 'FALSELY ACTIVATED' SINCE BUT I A WORRIED THAT IF AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN I MAY BE IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A COLLISION OR EVEN WORSE HURT, HARM, OR EVEN DEATH TO MYSELF OR OTHER. THERE IS 2 OTHERS IN MY OFFICE THAT HAVE PURCHASED 2019 ROGUES THIS YEAR AND HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. NISSAN NEEDS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND DO SO QUICKLY.
