This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped, the vehicle failed to accelerate while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Alpine Nissan of Denver (2400 W 104th Ave, Denver, CO 80234) where it was diagnosed and determined that the alternator had stopped routing electricity after overheating. The contact was advised by the local dealer that the transmission needed to be replaced and related to failure to Technical Service Bulletin: NTB17-039P (Transmission Judder); which was related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,800.
Since I got the car in 2018 the car does a jutter I went to a mechanic and they hooked it up to the computer and did a diagnostic and that's what it's called a judder the car keeps stuttering when it hits past 23 mph. As the years went on it has gotten worse and worse and Nissan will not cover it even though they're at fault for it I don't know what to do because certain mechanics are charging $3,500 and more
Vehicle has acceleration issues. Started June 2022 and has continued frequently since. Will randomly stop accelerating then if I try to let off the gas pedal and apply again it shudders so hard it shakes the car. After trying 3-4 times it will accelerate again. The RPM will shoot down to 1 and straight back up to 1.5-2. Maintenance shop has been unable to figure out what-??s wrong but it seems many 2016 Maxima owners are having similar issues. Why has there not been a recall to fix this issue? It becomes a serious danger when driving on highways or at high speeds. Someone-??s going to get hurt because if this!
For the past 5 months the acceleration will not work intermittently. I have almost gotten into two accidents on the interstate and in the city. I-??ve taken the vehicle to the dealership twice and Firestone auto care twice they cannot replicate the issue it is a hazard to drive with the car behaving this way.
2016 Nissan Maxima SR, problem started at 22000 miles, car runs fine, then when hitting a bump or railroad tracks, and sometime while accelerating at a light or from a stop the car goes into limp mode, max speed is apx 6 mph just enough to get it off road, at times it stalls in the intersection or when you come to a stop. Traction control light and engine light come on until you shut car down and restart. engine light remains on solid but can be driven in most cases, at times it turns over then stalls, if you wait long enough it usually resets snd is drivable. Has several DTC codes when checked on of them is P1735 and a few others. It-??s dangerous because you lose the ability to get properly through an intersection or to get by traffic on highway or side street, I have put my emergency lights on several times when this has happened. After reviewing TSB-??s Technical Service Bullatans it seems I am not alone with this issue.
Twice on the highway if had issues where the car accelerated on its own and a few times it's seem to lose power and than compensate and completely launch leading to a quick jerking motion. I'm afraid that it could completely stop on the highway or accelerate into something. Other than that there's no issues but this is concerning since I'm always giving family member rides including a pregnant wife so it needs to be looked into in my opinion it could be a huge disaster if it happens to an inexperienced driver. *also I'm not sure of the exact date of when this happened. I just want to make that known since that's one of the questions asked.
On 1/31/2021 I was driving on the freeway when the car lost acceleration. I had to pull over on the left shoulder before I become a hazard. I turned the car off and the car started clicking as if I had a dead battery. The car started after sitting for 10 minutes. The car accelerated like normal but lost all acceleration after 2 miles. I called tow. This is the same problem I had a few months before and had to be towed. Aaa checked the alternator and battery and the charging system was showing normal. This is intermittent problem that comes and go but can not be diagnosed because of no active codes. This is a serious problem that can lead to an accident.
Upon pushing the accelerator pedal, the car does not accelerate at all. I will push the accelerator all the way down to the floor and nothing will happen. I have to hit the pedal 2-4 times to get the car to accelerate. This occurs after being stopped at a stop light or intersection. The same has just happened with my wife's 2018 Nissan rogue. She was at an intersection. My car this has been happening on and off for 2 months. My wife's car, her first incident happened today. Mine happened 2X today. We both purchased are cars from the same Nissan dealership in clinton, nc.
Cruise control drops out while engaged under all road/weather conditions. Dashboard indication "front radar unavailable due to obstruction" seems well documented online for several other Nissan vehicles. System will reset itself after several minutes, but also drops out and is non-functional intermitently, essentially making the tracking cruise control inoperable.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Maxima. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would sporadically decelerate without warning. The vehicle was taken to an unknown Nissan dealer, but no failure was found. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 42,079.
