Maxima 6-cyl

While parking car it spontaneously accelerated across the parking lot, the bordering street and into another parking lot before stopping. The cars left side, right side, front bumper, tires and suspension were damaged. Though no other cars were hit, commercial garbage cans, stop sign, telephone pole and a series 4 curbs inflicted damage. The air bags did not deploy despite having them checked by the dealer as required by a recall.

Paint quality is horrible. Car has thousands of small paint chips concentrated on the front bumper and front of hood. This is not normal as Nissan insists. Their paint jobs are inferior and unfair to the consumer.
