Nissan Maxima owners have reported 10 problems related to automatic emergency braking (under the forward collision avoidance category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Nissan Maxima based on all problems reported for the Maxima.
When I start driving, sometimes I randomly see key system error and das malfunction. All other warnings such as emergency brake, traction control, blind spot detection light up. Engine rpm meter keeps going to 0 and back and forth (see video in the link below). When this happens, driver assistance features like forward collision warning, blind spot warning and lane departure warning stops working. Sometimes, I cannot turn off the engine by pressing the stop engine button. I have to hold the button for about 5 seconds to stop the engine. Sometimes there's a chasis control system error (attached a picture from last year). This started happening about a year ago and has occurred at least a dozen times so far. I have taken this to different dealerships, and none have been able to identify the issue. I haven't had any accidents on collisions on this vehicle. Please see link below for a video of the behavior. You can see different warnings coming on and off in the video. Https://photos. App. Goo. Gl/g6storjylwcigvv79.

First, my passenger airbag light came on and will not go off. Then my emergency breaking system activated while I was driving on the interstate and I was almost hit by a semi from behind I didn’t manage to get the vehicle off the road I took it to Nissan . They did a diagnostics and couldn’t find anything wrong with the car the emergency braking system has activated several times since then and now my whole dash system seems to freeze up completely and will not let me use anything in the car. I have to put it in park the car off and restart for it to work. Nissan has my vehicle now . They did another diagnostics and said it was a sensor in the airbags, and the whole driver side seat had to be replaced and I was told that my airbags would not deploy if I got in a car wreck since there is no recall for this issue so they say I have to put out-of-pocket that amount of money to fix my car and they want me to pay for another diagnostics fee. I have a car that does not have safety features that I paid for. Nissan wants to charge me again for another diagnostics exam and the cost for the seat they say about $5000 .

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.
Car will suddenly and dramatically decelerate creating loss of control and surprising drivers around me expecting me to continue in a clear lane sometimes nearly causing me to rear-ended car will shut off this feature automatically at times. The aeb malfunction light will illuminate. I have shared this with the dealer 2x - the response is that this isn't covered - even under my Nissan certified extended warranty purchase.
Inappropriate function of the aeb system. Filed a prior complaint with you a couple of months ago about the cruise control sensor and the aeb. Cruise was fixed, but aeb keeps going off while using cruise inappropriately. Did not get fixed. Spent a lot of time working with Nissan consumer affairs and vision Nissan in webster NY and problem not found. There are numerous complaints on line about the same problem, but Nissan consumer affairs (nca) keeps telling me there are no other complaints about this issue. The nca told me that unless the service department has the aeb go off while they are trying it out, they won't do anything. If I want the second opinion they are recommending, it has to be out of pocket cost for me. I have had it happen and drove to the dealer without turning the vehicle off, and they didn't pull any codes, so won't address it. I have asked to speak to a manager/supervisor at nca, but they refuse to let me talk to anyone. This has happened no less than 100 times and is very dangerous.

Normally resetting radio will fix radio problem but it's not working now. I don't know why the aeb light is on.

2017 Nissan Maxima sl. Had abs recall serviced at tim dahle Nissan of orem, utah. Retrieved car after service was completed and shortly after, my fry into emergency braking system deactivates after driving about 5-8 minutes every time I get in my car. When I turn off my car and restart my car, it works again. I called the dealership where work was performed and they stated fixing the recall would not have caused this issue and that I would have to pay for a diagnostic check $1xx. Xx and I don't recall the estimated prices she stated for the sensors, brackets, and labor. I will be contacting Nissan themselves to see what option are since other 2017 Nissan Maxima owners are experiencing this issue.
For a few months, whenever I drive on the freeway, typically for more than 30 min, the sensor with the two cars colliding turns on with a beep sound. It turns off after I turn off the car but will turn on after driving for more on the freeway. I've been driving with turns or hills and could be a part of it but I'm not sure. After 3 years of having the car, it started doing that. The abs was already changed as part of a recall and I don't have any other recalls on my vehicle. I see that another person has reported this issue at the following link. I talked to my dealer and they don't know about this issue and a scanner doesn't pick up a code since the car has to be off and the light turns off whenever I turn off the car. I don't know where exactly the issue could be, sensor, if so which sensor, or a part. . Read more...
