Front axel damaged. Loud clicking, popping noise in both directions. Damaged axles are very dangerous. My car is now at Nissan for the 2nd time in less than a week. The front axle was replaced last week. It is now being replaced again. The active grille shutter also had to be replaced last week.

Upon recent discovery Tuesday evening 11.11.2025; I placed the vehicle in reverse and proceeded to back up and then put into drive, upon taking off my vehicle jerked and made a loud grinding/struggling noise. I could hear the machinery. During my commute, this would happen intermittently until reaching my destination. My car felt as if it was going to stall and cut off. The noise is loud and very noticeable. I could feel the vibrations underneath me. Today is Thursday and the issue persists. I've placed a called to the local dealership to have my vehicle inspected.

Started having problems within first two months of purchase, bought new in April 24. Charge ports stopped working. Also reported to dealer electric burn smell. Hesitate to start/stop with push button. Feels like loses power while driving. Rpms revs unexpectedly. Almost wrecked a few times due to this. Happens during continuous driving, not stop and go traffic. Sometimes when put in park, it will jerk hard. Sometimes when put in park and turn off, doors don-??t unlock automatically. Car will jerk when starting at times. Forward collision light comes on often. Sounds like front rotors or something in the front rubs while driving. Auto engine off/on sometimes doesn-??t work. The first time I took it to the dealer, they didn-??t record their visual inspection. They blamed a lot of stuff on rodent nests. The second time I took it to the dealership, I made it a point to have the visual inspection recorded and sent to me. Surprise, no rodent nests found! Both inspections were completed in less than two hours even though I told them I could stay as long as needed. Since then, the burning smell has worsened.
