Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchase the Maxima certified pre-owned on june 2017. In september 2018, I needed to have the distance sensor array replaced under warranty. In july 2019, I needed to have the same distance sensor array replaced under warranty. Why does this keep failing? This sensor controls the emergency braking system and the adaptive cruise control. The car will not operate as advertised if this sensor is not working. Soon my warranty will expire and I will need to replace this every year?”
NHTSA complaint #11234064, filed 2019-07, 33,000 miles“I was driving this morning on the way to work traveling on the highway around 5:43 am; and I heard a loud bang sounding like a shotgun. It scared me to death as I swerved and heard wind noise as if my windows were down. And also could hear glass falling onto my sunroof shade. I found a safe place to pull over and see what the problem was and whoa and behold my sunroof has shattered. If the shade was open then the shattered glass could have falen on me possibly getting into my eyes and causing an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11364737, filed 2020-10, 49,468 miles“Front radar obstruction: front distance/radar sensor deactivates leaving the vehicle without the collision safety features (forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and intelligent cruise control). The system will deactivate either while driving or when stopped at a light. The cause seems to be when a vehicle in the lane in front of my car moves into or out of the lane, I change lanes with a vehicle in front of me, or sometimes when the vehicle in front has moved out of range. …”
NHTSA complaint #11202864, filed 2019-04, 30,000 miles“For a few months, whenever I drive on the freeway, typically for more than 30 min, the sensor with the two cars colliding turns on with a beep sound. It turns off after I turn off the car but will turn on after driving for more on the freeway. I've been driving with turns or hills and could be a part of it but I'm not sure. After 3 years of having the car, it started doing that. The ABS was already changed as part of a recall and I don't have any other recalls on my vehicle. I see that another person has reported this issue at the following link. …”
NHTSA complaint #11387943, filed 2021-01, 30 miles“Purchased 2017 Nissan Maxima at passport of marlow heights on 3/17/20. Took car to first service at passport on 6/22/20 for oil change & tire rotation. After further issues with my front left wheel and going to sheehy of waldorf for my second service I discovered that passport of marlow heights service advisor did not notify me of the left wheel stud issue while purchasing the car and until a week after my initial service visit of 6/22/20. The service advisor at passport reported a incorrect service date of 6/25/20 to cover up the late multi-point lug nut notification. …”
