WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY STARTED SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO SUDDENLY SLOW, ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS, BUT REFUSES TO FIX ALL OF THEM. THEY HAVE SETTLED THOUSANDS OF CLAIMS OUT OF COURT FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY STILL CLAIM THEIR CVTS TRANSMISSION IS NOT DEFECTIVE.

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING DOWN 240 IN MEMPHIS AND MY SUN ROOF EXPLODED . IT'S THE PANORAMA SUNROOF. I WASN'T NEAR AN OVER PASS OR NEAR ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE HIT IT . IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN BLAST OR SOMETHING . I SWERVED AND ALMOST WRECKED BUT THANKFULLY DID NOT . I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEN WHERE OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH THEIR NISSANS AND APPARENTLY IT'S BECAUSE OF THE TEMPERED GLASS THEY USE AND THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE .

POWER TRAIN
BROUGHT VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE OF NOISE. REPAIR SHOP INFORMED ME THAT NOISE COMES FROM TRANSMISSION. DID SOME INVESTIGATION AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR ALL YEARS UNTIL 2010 INCLUDING 2010. NOT 2011. THIS IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION THAT FAILS PREMATURELY. I CALLED THE DEALER $145 DIAGNOSTIC. NO GUARANTEES THAT NISSAN WILL PROVIDE "GOODWILL ASSISTANCE" . WHY DID RECALL STOP IN 2010?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MY WAY TO WORK AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY 2011 NISSAN MAXIMA ALL OF THE SUDDEN WOULD NO LONGER SPEED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS ON AND AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 MPH BUT THE RPM WOULD CLIMB. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. MY CAR HAD NO CHECK ENGINE/SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS ON. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SPEED SENSOR DUE TO THE ORIGINAL DIAGNOSTIC CODE OF P0500 AND TRIED REPLACEMENT BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WAS SHOWING 'PAGES FULL OF CODES' AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED AND THAT 'IT JUST HAPPENS.' PRIOR TO THIS TOTAL FAILURE I EXPERIENCED ABSOLUTELY ZERO SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE/SERVICE ENGINE SOON), NO SLIPPING/JERKING, LEAKING, NOTHING AT ALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE POTENTIAL CAUSE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE I FOUND THERE WERE MANY 2011 OWNERS WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING.
