The emergency braking system warning light came on while I was stopped in rush hour traffic. No collision. Light is coming on every time I drive the car. Fear of the system automatically stopping my vehicle while driving without cause. The dealership refused to test the sensors without me paying for the service. This first started showing up on 8/28/2023. The front sensors warning stating " front sensor obstructed system is unavailable" has been coming on for no reason at random. Dealership refuses to test sensors without me paying for test. This has been happening for some time.

A vehicle pulled out into oncoming traffic and was struck my vehicle. My vehicle sustained front-end damage that totalled my car out. My airbags failed to deploy.

I have had my 2017 Maxima into the dealership ( tim dahle in salt lake city ut) on 10-22 2019 for an anti-freeze problem. The anti-freeze is being used but not leaking anywhere. They replaced the radiator cap and did not see any noticeable leaks, topped off the cooling system and said could not find the problem, said it was normal for the holding tank on the side to be low. I disagreed and thought it was an internal problem with the engine, they said could see no problem. A month later I have no anti-freeze in my reserve tank after driving only about 50 miles around town. When I first bought the car new I noticed it was low on anti-freeze, a year ago I took it in for an oil change they topped off anti-freeze and it has been leaking from the day I bought it, they say that is normal and I disagree. My warranty is up in June of 2020.

Minimal acceleration sometimes. Vehicle acts as if slipping gears, or totally loses power. Acceleration issues happen from both stopped and highway driving conditions.
