AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO OPEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS SMASHED AND MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE PREVENTED INJURIES IF THE AIRBAGS HAD OPEN. I HAVE LOST TRUST IN NISSAN AND THIS CRUSHED MY FAITH IN THEIR PRODUCTS! !!!

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING GEARS RIGHT AROUND 58,000 MILES. I WOULD DRIVE IT AND IT WOULD GET STUCK IN 5TH GEAR. I WOULD HAVE TO SWITCH OVER TO MANUAL TO TRY AND SWITCH GEARS AND WHEN I WOULD DO THAT I WOULD EXPERIENCE VERY HARD SHIFTING AND JERKING. IF I'M SWITCHING FROM PARK TO DRIVE WHILE STATIONARY, EXTREMELY HARD JERKING AND IT WOULD STALL FOR 5 SECONDS BEFORE GOING INTO DRIVE. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE. I GUESS THEY WANT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE ISSUING A RECALL! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN THE CAR DOES THIS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CRAPPY NISSAN EVER AGAIN! NOT TO MENTION THE SENSORS THAT HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN REPLACED OVER AND OVER THINKING IT WILL FIX THE JERKING ISSUES, BUT IT DOESN'T. IMAGINE HAVING A CAR FULL OF KIDS WHILE IT DOES THIS. THANKS NISSAN FOR BEING SO CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY! *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TIRES VIBRATED AS IF OUT OF BALANCE. TOOK BACK TO DEALER HE REBALANCED AND ROTATED TIRES. THIS DID NOT CHANGE VIBRATION. CONTINUED TO HAVE VIBRATION AND DEALER STATED HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH TIRES. DEALER STATED HE HAD NEVER SEEN A BAD TIRE ONLY BAD DRIVERS. THESE WERE NEW TIRES WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITHN THESE TIRES BUT FINALLY CHANGED TO COOPER RADIALS. HAVE NO PROBLEM SINCE CHANGING. FEEL DEALER UNJUST IN EVALUATION AND COMPLAINT. BASICALLY TIRES BOUNCED AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. OUT OF 4 TIRES ONE WORN DRASTICALLY WHILE OTHERS WORE FAIRLY EVEN BUT ALL CONTINUED TO BE OUT OF BALANCE. COST AT PURCHASE ABOUT $875.00.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT IN THEIR 2009 MODELS. THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME, AND ANYONE THAT COMES THIS ISSUES, AND THAT OUT OF WARRANTY $1100.00. THIS REPAIR ISN'T GUARANTEED EITHER. CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS ONLY TO BE TOLD NO. THIS PART YOU NEED IS ONLY AVAILABLE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THE PART ITSELF COST $900. FOR NISSAN TO NOT STAND BY THEIR CARS IS A SHAME.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA THE GEARS SLIP AND JUMP INTO GEAR WITH A VIOLENT JERK THAT IS AFFECTING MY DRIVING AND MAY CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND POSSIBLE INJURY MYSELF OR OTHERS. THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE VALVE BODY THAT IS CAUSING THIS VIOLENT SHIFTING AND IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. IT IS DISGRACE THAT THE NHTSA HAD DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS WIDE SPREAD ISSUE, MUST PEOPLE DIE FIRST SO IT DOES GET ADDRESSED. I WILL ALSO CONTACT MY STATE REPRESENTATIVE TO REPORT THE ISSUE. I OPENED UP A CASE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WITH NO LUCK OR ADMITTANCE OF THEIR FAILED COMPONENT. NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED TRANSMISSION WITH A P0726 CODE AND HAD AN OPEN TECHNICAL BULLETIN NTB11'035 WHICH IS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF NISSANS FAILED DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. NISSAN HAS QUOTED ME OVER $2500 TO REPAIR THEIR FAILED DESIGN COMPONENT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2014 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 43000 MILES. SUNROOF EXPLODED TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. ALMOST EXACT SAME OF HOLE LEFT IN ROOF. ONCE ON JULY 20TH 2016 AND ONCE ON AUGUST 15 2016 AFTER BEING REPLACED WITH OEM PARTS. DANGER TO MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AFTER CALLING IN AND SPEAKING WITH THE COMPLIANT DEPARTMENT. I HAVE SINCE REPAIRED IT A SECOND TIME AND RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP - I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
