general problems of the 2016 Nissan Maxima

The 2016 Nissan Maxima (VIN: [xxx] ) I purchased in January 2025 has been confirmed by a certified mechanic to have no driver airbag installed and no passenger side curtain airbag installed, despite a previous airbag deployment shown on the vehicle history report. There is no record of any airbag replacement or repair. The vehicle was sold to me in this unsafe condition without disclosure. Driving the vehicle presents a serious safety risk because no airbags will deploy in a collision. Nissan and the selling dealer did not repair or disclose this federally required safety equipment failure (49 u. S. C. §30122). Safety risk: this defect puts me at severe risk of injury or death in a crash. The airbag system is nonfunctional, and the vehicle is being operated on public roads without any airbags installed. This vehicle should not have been sold or financed in this condition. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I can be going at a regular rate of speed and my car would stall completely the abs light comes on and it drains my battery causing my car to shut off.

Problem 1. Airbag. Driver's side airbag prematurely failed in 2021. Dealer says requires replacement of driver's seat back at $5k problem 2. Transmission failed prematurely (77,000 miles) after placing me in multiple dangerous traffic situations. The car would fail to accelerate and eventually stall while I was turning or simply driving. Once it failed to accelerate when I was turning and I was almost struck by oncoming traffic! it was only the grace of god that saved me.

While traveling down a road at 40+ mph, avoided hitting a deer that jumped out, applied the brakes to no avail and impacted a tree that was off center of the hood on initial impact and no airbags inflated anywhere within the vehicle.

I was making a left turn from the highway on to a side street & was t-boned on the passenger side by a SUV. The air bags did not implore.
