general problems of the 2013 Nissan Maxima

A recall and class action lawsuit was issued for the 2013 altima but not the 2013 Maxima. They have the same cvt transmission, my cvt transmission on my Maxima just went out. Both the Maxima and the altima should have been included in these recalls if they have the exact same cvt transmission.

The vehicle was in a parked position at my home. Went and started vehicle and from park to drive it hesitated before it starts to move.

My 2013 Nissan Maxima slowed down while on the highway doing 60 mph then a sputtering noise follows with a large boom and winding noise, check engine light came on. Took my car to autozone code stated cvt transmission problem. This car is only 6 years old why would I need an transmission. I'm so disappointed with Nissan.

My son and I were driving down the road around 45 mph when when heard what sounded like a gun shot. I noticed tiny pieces of glass on my console and looked up to see my sunroof was shattered into a million pieces. There were no objects around the sunroof or coming up from the roads that would have caused this.

I was sitting in my car motor off during lunch. I heard a huge explosion like a gunshot and I thought I got shot. I was shocked and startled I ran out of the car. I inspected myself and I looked around and I walked up to my car and noticed that my sunroof was heavily damaged. I called nine-one-one a police officer arrived and the police officer said that my sunroof exploded.

I was driving on the highway on my way to work. I took an exit ramp to get on the beltway, as I was heading to the beltway, I heard a loud "pop" sound, and as I slowed down to pull over, thinking it was a tire blowing out, I could hear a noise as if something was slowly breaking. After I pulled over, I noticed my moonroof shattered all over. I got in my car to get safely out of traffic's way, and drove to a nearby convenience store, as I pulled in, my glass completely caved in and left a huge hole. Glass was everywhere. This was very scary. I never heard anything hit my car moonroof before it shattered.

Car would accelerate to maximum throttle when sitting at red light or at stop I would have to apply brake real hard to hold it from taking off, shifting into neutral would just cause it to rev uncontrollably, I would have to turn the car off and on a few times to get it to stop. I took car to dealer and the claimed they could not reproduce the same symptom. I finally took it to another dealer and they said it was a software clich. And had to reload the software again at my cost of course. I feel this is not a unusual problem because I had a pathfinder that did this same thing and Nissan knows of this but will not admit it. Very scary and dangerous to me my passenger and the public. Like I said it happens in slow traffic in city driving on crowed streets.

1/1/15 moderate vibration in vehicle at 60mph took vehicle to dealer in March to balance tires. Upon leaving still felt vibration. 4/1/2015 returned vehicle advised of moderate vibration experienced at highway speeds. Advised they felt vibration, took off my wheels/tires and swapped them from a new Maxima could still feel vibration. Advised they plan to change drive-axle. Later advised after repairs vibration still existed transmission to be replaced. Later advised after changing transmission vibration remained. Advised the tech had no idea what it was and regional tech contacted to assist. Later advised to change engine mounts under extended warranty $50 deductible. Agreed and contacted later that along w/ regional tech were still trying to figure out the cause. Later contacted vehicle was ready. 4/30/15 advised that they were ¿¿stumped but believed they fixed, swapped out parts from another Maxima" advised to ¿¿take home and drive for a week if it¿¿s still shaking to bring it back. � didn't leave feeling confident repairs were made. While driving home able to feel vibration returned that evening. 5/1/15 advised they could still feel vibration. 5/6/15 contacted they had made every attempt to corrected, however ¿at this time unable to repair�. Advised investigation opened to look into, contacted by Nissan customer service advised they would look into repairs and start case to buy back. 5/14/15 advised after looking into the repairs, dealer tech says vibrations were normal. After owning six Nissan¿¿s and other brands have never experienced issue. Advised tech test drove other maxims and all had same shaking, therefore it's normal. Over weekend asked numerous Maxima owners in person and social media if they experienced this and all said no. I feel every time my family is in vehicle it poses a safety hazardous to us and other where a malfunction could be fatal.

After about 1 mile of driving, there was a small explosion heard under the center console directly under the shift console. Fire started coming out from the shift console. Burned up center shifter console and carpet surrounding area.
