I had my car being repaired for a car accident I had on [xxx]. A piece of tire on the highway [xxx] went underneath the middle frame of my car. I picked up the car from the repair shop here in columbus, ohio on Saturday, [xxx]. Beginning on the same day, I had a "check engine" light appear on my dashboard. On Sunday,; I went to my local auto zone store. They informed me that their test results was" power train system secondary issue: p1751 cvt judder (c/v inspection). Recently this year, I received a notice from Nissan corporation concerning my Maxima. It was from a class action lawsuit over the engine. It extended the warranty on my car to 84,000 miles. My car has approximatelly a little over 82,000. About 2 to 3 weeks ago, I contacted Nissan consumer affairs concerning my vehicle. The female who I spoke to said my 2017 Nissan Maxima was not in their system. She informed me that an e-mail wiell be sent to me. When I reply back,; I was to attach one item of either my usaa car insurance identification card or copy of my ohio bmv form. I did both. I then got an email stating to resend these items. I did, today, I went by the germain Nissan dealership located on morse road concerning the "check engine" light. The service director informed me that there was no "recall " on my vehicle concerning the engine. Therefore, Nissan needs to add me and my car into their system to include the extended warranty on my 2017 Nissan Maxima I purchased from georgesville Nissan here in columbus ASAP, information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
While driving on I-75 in atlanta about a month ago, my 2017 Nissan Maxima suddenly stopped accelerating. The engine was revving, but the car wouldn’t respond when I pressed the gas. It was unexpected and dangerous in fast-moving highway traffic. The same issue happened again on July 22, 2024, while I was driving on I-85. Both times, the car lost acceleration without warning in the moment. Before these incidents, I noticed occasional hesitation from a stop and delayed acceleration, but nothing as extreme as losing power at highway speeds. I took the car to a Nissan dealership, and they pulled a p17f1 code related to the cvt transmission. Nissan has acknowledged this issue by extending the warranty for transmission repairs in other models, but they told me my vehicle is not covered. This failure creates a serious safety risk and should not be ignored.
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.
Minimal acceleration sometimes. Vehicle acts as if slipping gears, or totally loses power. Acceleration issues happen from both stopped and highway driving conditions.
