I am experiencing a severe safety defect regarding the door lock mechanisms on my 2017 Nissan Maxima. The electronic door lock actuators have failed, causing the doors to intermittently refuse to lock or unlock when using either the key fob or the internal door switches. This creates a critical safety hazard, as it leaves the vehicle vulnerable to theft when the doors fail to lock. More importantly, when the doors fail to unlock, it compromises passenger safety during an emergency, as occupants can become trapped inside the vehicle or unable to exit quickly. This is a known, widespread issue across multiple Nissan models from this era, and Nissan needs to be held accountable. I request that the NHTSA investigate the 2017 Nissan Maxima door lock actuators and force a safety recall to prevent potential injuries or entrapment.

I woke up the morning of 09/30/2026 and took my kids to the bus stop. All the lights on my dash lit up. We were headed out of town for the night so we parked the car and took my husband’s truck. That was at 9:42 am. At 9:16 pm our neighbor called and said the fire department was next door and that my car was engulfed in flames. We contacted Nissan and there is a recall for a fire hazard but it’s not attached to my VIN number.
I was approaching an exit on 7/23/2026, and all of a sudden my engine light begans flashing very fast! Once I get to the red light at the exit, the engine light stops flashing and the car begins to shake profusely...... When the light turns green, I get on the accelerator and the shaking gets harder and the engine light begins to flash again.
