While driving the forward emergency brake light comes on. After it comes on there is a reduction of power. It disables cruise control. This happens when the vehicle is in motion on a city street or when you go to take off.

"takata recall" I recently purchased a 2017 Nissan Maxima sv and since I have acquired this vehicle I have been having problems with my brakes. As I am driving the car the brakes make a grinding noise. I have taking the car for maintenance on two separate occasion at pohanka Nissan (where I purchased the car) and colonial Nissan. Both places conveyed to me that there was nothing wrong with my brakes but either location did not drive the car. This is unacceptable for a newer model vehicle to experience such a defective issue. This is a safety hazard and I fear that my brakes will give out while my family and I are driving. I have never filled out a complaint before for my Nissan vehicles but I am a faithful Nissan buyer that would like this issue resolved.

My vehicle squeaks so bad. I've had numerous problems with my brakes since I purchase it brand new. So I took it back and forward to the dealership for over a year and nothing was done then finally they did a full front and back break job, had the rotors turned and the vehicle is still squeaking badly. The dealership keeps telling me they can't find anything but something is wrong. I'm afraid to go far in my car because of safety concerns. Problem acquires when braking.

While driving on a residential street my car jolted to a stop by itself. There were no cars in front of me and no reason for the automatic emergency braking system to take control. After my car came to a stop it wouldn't move for a few seconds.
