WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE 10 HATING WEST TOWARDS TEXAS ON VACATION THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. I FEEL THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE THAT TEMPERED GLASS IS BEING USED FOR A SUNROOF ABOVE A DRIVER AND NOT LAMINATED GLASS.

IN LATE NOVEMBER 2016 THE ABS AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ON MY 2016 NISSAN MAXIMA BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO MENTION IT DURING THE NEXT SERVICE APPOINTMENT WHICH WAS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 27. AT THE APPOINTMENT I WAS NOTIFIED OF SEVERAL RECALLS AND THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT OVERNIGHT. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE NEXT DAY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON AN ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR PUMP HOWEVER THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED FROM NISSAN. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASKED ME AND TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE DASH IF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS APPEARED AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK LATER THE LIGHTS REAPPEARED AND I TOOK THE ATTACHED PHOTO. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT WHEN THE RECALL PART WAS INSTALLED AND WOULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ONCE THE PART ARRIVED. ON JANUARY 19, 2017 THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE AFTER SITTING FOR OVER 2 HOURS AND BURNED TO A TOTAL LOSS. AT NO TIME WAS I NOTIFIED THAT THE RECALL WAS A FIRE HAZARD. SINCE THE INCIDENT I HAVE FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN HOWEVER THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER A MONTH TO RESPOND AND BY THE TIME THEY INSPECT THE VEHICLE IT WILL BE OVER 45 DAYS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND ALL INDICATORS POINT TO A DEFECTIVE PART.

SERVICE BRAKES
2016 NISSAN MAXIMA BREAKS SQUEAK ON EVERY STOP. DEALER, HEARS THE NOISE, CLAIMS RESURFACED ROTORS, SANDED BREAK PADS HOWEVER THE NOISE PERSISTS. CONCERN OVER THE RELIABILITY OF THE BREAKING SYSTEM. HAD DEALER LOOK AT THE BREAKS 5 SEPARATE APPOINTMENTS. THEY NOW SAY THE NOISE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PADS AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. MY CONCERN IS THERE MAY BE A DEEPER ISSUE THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING. I COMMUTE 100 MILES DAILY ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I AM EXPRESSING THIS CONCERN FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THE SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE. NEW CAR BREAKS JUST DON'T SQUEAL ON EACH BREAKING ACTION. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE ME OF ANY AVENUE THAT I CAN USE TO GET THIS ADDRESSED AS WELL AS TAKE MY COMMENTS TO ADDRESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME CONCERN. THANK YOU.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USE CAR DEALER ON 01/31/2017. ON 02/08/2017 MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME TO GO ON LAINEY AND ENTER MY VIN NUMBER BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2016 NISSAN MAXIMA SR. I CALLED LYNCH NISSAN AND TOLD THEM I HAD PURCHASED A CAR WITH RECALL ON IT WITH A FIRE HAZARD AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN ON MONDAY, 02/12/2017. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY CALLED ME ON WEDNESDAY, 02/14/2017 TO PICKUP MY CAR. BECAUSE I WAS AT WORK, I ASKED IF I COULD PICK UP THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. I WAS TOLD NO BECAUSE THEY HAD PROVIDED ME A RENTAL CAR AND I HAD TO RETURN IT ON THE DAY THE WORK WAS COMPLETED. ONCE I RETURNED THE RENTAL CAR, I WAS TOLD THE RENTAL CAR WAS FINE. WHEN I WENT TO THE SERVICE CENTER I WAS ASKED TO SIGN A PAPER BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAIL ME THE PAPERS STATING WHAT WAS DONE TO MY CAR. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED TO SIGNED SOMETHING AND THEN TOLD THEY CAN'T PROVIDE ME A COPY. BECAUSE THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OF IT HAVING A FIRE HAZARD, I CALLED NISSAN (NESSIE) AND ASKED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK AND THEY REFUSED. NISSAN IS NOW SAYING EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BUT I HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION OF WHAT THEY ASKED ME TO SIGN NOR WHAT TYPE OF WORK WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR. BECAUSE I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS RECALL BEFORE I PURCHASE THIS CAR AND NOT HAVING A COPY OF WHAT NISSAN ASKED ME TO SIGN, I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE FIRE HAZARD.

I JUST MERGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOING I-55 SOUTH FROM COUNTYLINE RD, WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE SIMILAR TO A GUN SHOT IN CLOSE RANGE AND WAS LITERALLY FRIGHTENING. THEN I HEARD AIR SEEPING THROUGH MY SUNROOF AREA SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLELY AND I HAD MY 7 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO LOOK ON TOP OF THE CAR AND SAW THAT THE FRONT SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GRAY DANIELS NISSAN NORTH IN JACKSON, MS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WILL HAVE TO FALL UNDER MY INSURANCE BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. THIS IS A DEFECT ON HOW THIS MODEL CAR HANDLES PRESSURE CAUSING THE SUNROOF TO EXPLODE! MY EARS AND HEAD ARE ACHING DUE TO THE EXPLOSIVE SOUND.

I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT A BRAND NEW CAR WOULD BE RECALLED B4 I EVEN GET 5,000 MILES ESPECIALLY IN A WAY THAT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE FIRE TO MY CAR, SAFETY SHOULD HAVE BEEN GUARANTEED B4 THIS CAR WAS SOLD, I WANTED A DIFFERENT MODEL THAT I WAS TOLD WAS ON SALES HOLD, IF THEY KNEW IT WAS A PROBLEM THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE SOLD US THE CAR!
