“My 2013 Nissan Maxima slowed down while on the highway doing 60 MPH then a sputtering noise follows with a large boom and winding noise, check engine light came on. Took my car to autozone code stated CVT transmission problem. This car is only 6 years old why would I need an transmission. I'm so disappointed with Nissan”

NHTSA complaint #11065411, filed 2018-01, 55,000 miles“My son and I were driving down the road around 45 MPH when when heard what sounded like a gun shot. I noticed tiny pieces of glass on my console and looked up to see my sunroof was shattered into a million pieces. There were no objects around the sunroof or coming up from the roads that would have caused this.”
NHTSA complaint #11066686, filed 2018-02, 144,000 miles“Car would accelerate to maximum throttle when sitting at red light or at stop I would have to apply brake real hard to hold it from taking off, shifting into neutral would just cause it to rev uncontrollably, I would have to turn the car off and on a few times to get it to stop. I took car to dealer and the claimed they could not reproduce the same symptom. I finally took it to another dealer and they said it was a software clich. And had to reload the software again at my cost of course. …”
NHTSA complaint #11080098, filed 2018-03, 62,000 miles“I was driving on the highway on my way to work. I took an exit ramp to get on the beltway, as I was heading to the beltway, I heard a loud pop sound, and as I slowed down to pull over, thinking it was a tire blowing out, I could hear a noise as if something was slowly breaking. After I pulled over, I noticed my moonroof shattered all over. I got in my car to get safely out of traffic's way, and drove to a nearby convenience store, as I pulled in, my glass completely caved in and left a huge hole. Glass was everywhere. This was very scary. …”
