2012 Nissan Maxima

1)MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT SOME YEARS AGO THAT DISPLAYS WARNING OR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. IT FLASHES OFF AND ON PERIODICALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT DUE TO IT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WANT DO ANYTING ABOUT IT. SEVERAL CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT. 2) I HAVE HAD BATTERY ISSUES WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR BACK IN NOV. 2011, SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY ALL THEY DID WAS REPLACE THE BATTERY. SINCE THEN EVERY YEAR OR TWO YEARS I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE BATTERY UNTIL HEAR RECENTLY JULY 2018. THIS WILL BE THE 4 OR 5 TIME REPLACING THIS BATTERY WITHIN THE 6 YEARS OF OWNIG THIS CAR. EVERYTIME I TATKE IT TO ONE OF NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THERE EXPLANATION IS THE TEXAS HEAT DRAINS THE BATTERY. THAT EXCUSE DOES NOT MAKE ANY SINCE TO ME.

I WAS DRIVING MY MAXIMA ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH AND THE RPM WAS FLUCTUATING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FROM 2000 TO 3000 RPM. IT WOULD NOT GO FROM THERE AND THE CAR DROPPED SPEED. THIS HAPPENED VARIOUS OF TIMES THROUGHOUT MY TRAVEL. I LOOKED UP PROBLEMS IT COULD OF BEEN AND I WALKED INTO A BLOG WITH MANY NISSAN CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION FOR THEIR VEHICLE.

HAD A MINOR REAR END COLLISION. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AFTER CAR WAS REPAIRED. NISSAN DEALER STATED THE MAIN AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT WAS BAD AND THE WEIGHT OCCUPANT SENSOR WAS BAD. THIS ISSUE ALONE OF OVER $2,000 DOLLARS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE A TOTAL LOSS BY INSURANCE. THE MINOR DAMAGE SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE. THEREFORE NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THEIR ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SUPPLIERS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION ON CITY ROAD WITH A 45 MILE PER HOUR SPEED LIMIT. ALSO SLUGGISH ON A TURN. WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY THEN JUMP TO A HIGHER ACCELERATION. WAS ADVISED BY DEALER TO NOT DRIVE IT AND BRING IN. WAS FOUND TO HAVE 3 KILL CODES WHICH MEANT IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION TO THE TUNE OF $4300.00. CAR HAD 90,000 MILES AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. NO NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS MODEL YEAR ON THE POWERTRAIN. WAS ADVISED OTHER YEARS POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED BY NISSAN. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND WARRANTY AS THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON MANY 2012 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, REVVED, AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED OVER TWO YEARS AGO BY AN UNKNOWN DEALER; HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME FAILURE AS THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

MY SUNROOF SHATTERED ON SUNDAY, JUNE 03 AT 12PM WHILE I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND TOWARDS CHICAGO ON 290 HIGHWAY. I WAS DRIVING AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE AND MY SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED. THE ROAD WAS CLEAR AND THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS AROUND ME. LUCKILY, I WASN'T INJURED. I HAVE ALREADY CHECKED WITH SEVERAL BODY SHOPS YESTERDAY, AND THE COST IS OVER $1000 TO FIX MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF. I ALSO REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CORPORATE, AND REPORTED THIS ISSUE. THE CASE NUMBER IS 31546264 AND I SPOKE WITH BARBARA, BADGE#7319182. SHE CALLED ME, 6/5/18 AT 10:34AM AND TOLD ME NISSAN WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THERE'S NO SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE. I TOLD HER I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE AND SHE ASKED ME TO SEND IT TO HER FOR REVIEW. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY PHOTOS OR EVIDENCE YESTERDAY WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT THE INCIDENT.

ON CITY STREET AT RED LIGHT VEHICLE WOULD NOT PULL OFF FROM RED LIGHT. BIG CLOUD OF SMOKE FROM HOOD AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. IN THE COURSE OF TURNING AT LIGHT BECAME STUCK IN INTERSECTION. TOWED TO DEALER AND BLOWN CVT HOSE. CAR HAS ONLY 58K MILES AND JUST MONTHS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. DEALER ASKING $650 AND SAID IT ADMITTED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN IN 50K. TOW BILL AND RENTAL CAR COST CHARGED TO OWNER. CVT ARE NOTED AS PROBLEMATIC BUT MANUFACTURER ONLY REPLACING YEARS 2010 AND EARLIER, BUT ONLINE SEARCH REVEALS SAME OR MORE ISSUES WITH YEARS 2011 AND LATER. DISCOVERED PARTS COST TO BE $150 AND NOT SURE OF UNITS OF CVT FLUID SINCE IT DIDN'T ALL LEAK OUT. UNETHICAL SERVICE AGAIN STATED I'D RUN OVER SOME ARTICLE LIKE A TIRE TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. WENT ONSITE AND WENT OVER VEHICLE WITH DEALER MECHANIC AND NO UNDERNEATH SCRATCHES AND VEHICLE HAS SKID PAN TO PREVENT SUCH OCCURRENCES. RECEIVED CALL FROM NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ADVISING THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD/WOULD DO.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR THE DOOR LOCK INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. IT SOME TIMES LOCKS AND DOESN'T UNLOCK OR DOESN'T LOCK AT ALL. RECENTLY IT IS WORKING LESS OFTEN. NOW THE BACK DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING TOO. THE OTHER DAY MY 6 YEAR GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR AND HAD TO UNBUCKLE HIS CAR SEAT TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. LUCKILY HE WASN'T AN INFANT. I READ ON LINE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THEIR DOOR LOCKS IN NISSAN/INFINITY CARS.
