When driving to work my sunroof exploded on interstate scaring me.it was a very loud noise. This is a safety issue for all Nissan owners. When bringing the vehicle in they stated that they were not responsible for the sunroof explosion. When going on line this looks like is been ongoing for awhile.

Rear obstruction warning.around view, rear view, etc monitoring system. Have had dealership look into numerous times they cant remedy without some kind of proof.there suggestion was cell phone picture of warning on dash while driving or video. I told them I wouldn't do that and asked them if that is what they would need to do to satisfy Nissan for approval to fix he said yes.really while driving I think not.

Unavailable front radar obstruction. This alert happens at random times when driving, it puts the sensor in an unavailable mode which in turns does not allow the safety function to work properly. I have done searches online and this is happening not only to Maximas but to other Nissan make/models. This is not a one time and done occurrence it happens often. When we purchased the car safety was one of our biggest concerns leading us to believe Nissan provided safe cars, apparently, that is not the case. In my opinion, this should be a recall fix, this is a safety issue!

Driving a rented Nissan Maxima I encountered an issue I am concerned with. While changing a radio station I accidentally hit something that brought up a menu. Trying to get back to the original screen I found myself on the ongoing lane. We should not be looking at a screen when driving. It should not exist. I am very concerned with these unnecessary devices in cars that car companies push to make a sale. I find it a very dangerous distraction.
