I was driving at night when I got a headlight system error message on my instrument panel and I noticed my driver side headlight was not on. A few seconds later the light came back on and a minute or so later it went off again and came back on and I got the error message again. It came back on and has worked pretty much since but I have seen it flickering at night on a few occasions. The next day when it was light out I looked at both headlights and noticed a lot I mean a lot of condensation inside the headlight assembly. I know some fogging and some light condensation is normal on these LED lights but the amount inside the driver side headlight is not normal. And I was lucky enough to have the error and light go off and on in a fairly well lit area so thankfully I was not in an accident or driving on road that’s not well lit. There’s clearly a defect in the sealing of the headlight that’s allowing that much water in. And not having a headlight working because of an error caused by water that can disable my visibility especially on the driver side to due to the headlight not being sealed properly. There is not physical damage like a crack or anything in the housing of the headlight. And since the whole headlight needs to be replaced since it’s LED that’s $2200 before labor. And there didn’t appear to be anything wrong with the headlight no condensation when I looked at it on the car lot when I bought it on 3-4-26. I tried to have my Nissan dealer repair/replace it using the Endurance Apex Unlimited warranty I bought when I purchased the car but they won’t cover it due to a faulty seal. I’ve seen a couple post about the same side headlight on others 2019 Maxima’s with the same issue so this doesn’t appear to be a one off. And I would think headlights going out from moisture and condensation causing errors to the electric contacts controlling the headlights would be a serious safety issue that could potentially cause bodily harm or even death from an accident.

I recently purchased a 2019 Nissan Maxima in November of 2025 from the Nissan dealership, with in the matter of 2 weeks after getting the car as I was driving the sunroof just exploded sounding like a gunshot. My son was in the car and luckily, I had the shade up, so no glass got all over us. The issue almost caused a wreck due to me having to swerve after thinking someone was shooting and or something fell out of the sky. I have a panoramic sunroof, and the insurance company say they do not cover sunroofs.
On 12.102025 the panoramic sunroof exploded while I was driving home, with my son in the car. Out of no where it was this huge explosive sound that, sounded like a gun shot or something. It was day time the sun out just driving along. The dealer did not state anything was wrong with the sunroof. I purchased this vehicle in November of 2025. The sunroof was not inspected upon purchase it was explained that they only inspected the engine, abiding by basic inspection protocol. No warning lamps or anything was on and all warning lights work. With my son in the car I was terrified and I'm glad I did not wreck vehicle due to being frantic on behalf of the sound, and also glad that it was cold out and the inside was closed. I have been in contact with my insurance provider and awaiting on the adjuster to come out and see the damage, From research there seems that many Nissan owners have experienced this issue and yet Nissan has failed to to take accountability or acknowledge this known issue

The back sunshade cover for the back panorama sunroof juat snapped. A couple of plastic parts were found on the floor. The sunroof was not open at the time it just snapped while driving. I took it to the dealership and they stated it wasn’t under warranty and it would cost over $3000 to replace. For a sunshade that seemed pretty pricey. The sunroof hasn’t been open in month or years.
Unknown I was trying to trying to purchase vehicle and was approved 1 sales man told me there was transmission problem they didn't want to disclose and I kept asking them as I test drive it and heard it it's seems to be something wrong with it but everyone said no it turns out that there was damage not only to transmission when it had accident but body damage dealership hasn't donet want to report rear fender and it's misleading alot and
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the oil level warning light illuminated and the vehicle started smoking under the hood. The contact checked the oil level and notice there was no oil in the engine. The contact added engine oil however, the smoking continued. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the spark plugs and intake gasket were replaced; however, the vehicle continued to smoke and the oil level remained low. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the engine needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 70,000.
The lug nuts on this vehicle are covered with a thin stainless "cap". This cap can, and was, easily damaged and deformed when attempting to remove it to change a tire. The stainless steel "cap" was able to rotate without rotating the lug nut it was covering. This made it impossible to remove the wheel. This is a very poor and dangerous design as a driver can be stranded with a flat tire and no way to remove the lug nuts holding the wheel to the vehicle. The vehicle had to be towed to a mechanic who had to cut away the cap and remove it from the covered lug nut before the lug not could be removed.
While driving on a windy day at approximately 55 mph, the hood popped up on the Maxima. The secondary latch prevented the hood from rising more than a couple of inches so no damage occurred, but had the hood come completely open it could have been a disaster. The car was pulled to the side of the road and the hood was closed tight. The hood was last opened when being serviced by my Nissan dealer. This is the first time this has happened and the car was driven home (approx 15 miles), under the same windy conditions, without incident. It has not been inspected by the dealer yet.
The warning light for AEB lights with IFC is on won't go off and Radio turns up loud on its on and volume goes out and USB port in front has stopped working. Radio has done this several times. Normally resetting Radio will fix Radio problem but it's not working now. I don't know why the AEB light is on.

We were traveling on a lightly crowded highway when all at once the car shuddered, tire and warning lights came on, noise and vibration levels increased dramatically. I managed to pull over and then off the highway in order to replace the damaged tire with the donut spare. The roadway was clear, and we did not run over any objects. The tire was utterly flat. It had failed instantly, as opposed to a leak. The attached photo shows that the inner sidewall of the tire failed simultaneously, in multiple places. NOTE!!! Earlier batches of this same brand/make/model tire have already been RECALLED! The tires on my car were made 3 weeks after the listed DOT batch week end. The recall period needs to be extended.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY DASH LIT UP RED AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED CAUSING AN ABRUPT STOP. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS IN THE ROAD AND ALL OTHER VEHICLES WERE IN SAFE RANGE, NOWHERE NEAR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT OR SERIOUS INJURIES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW 6 MONTHS AGO.
RADIO HEAD UNIT CUTS OUT RANDOMLY NOT ALLOWING SOUND TO THE SPEAKERS. HAVE TO CONTINUALLY REBOOT RADIO, OFTEN TIMES MORE THAN 3 TIMES, FOR IT TO WORK. IT HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY, STILL BASICALLY AT ANY TIME

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROADWAY THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW THIS YEAR AND THIS INSTANCE WITH THE BRAKING HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THE ABS LIGHT IS NOW OFF AND IT HAS NOT 'PHANTOM BRAKED' OR 'FALSELY ACTIVATED' SINCE BUT I A WORRIED THAT IF AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN I MAY BE IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A COLLISION OR EVEN WORSE HURT, HARM, OR EVEN DEATH TO MYSELF OR OTHER. THERE IS 2 OTHERS IN MY OFFICE THAT HAVE PURCHASED 2019 ROGUES THIS YEAR AND HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. NISSAN NEEDS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND DO SO QUICKLY.
THE INFOTAINMENT AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM - INCLUDING AUDIO - IS AN EXCEPTIONAL HAZARD. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA DOES NOT CARE. MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS - AND CASES - ACROSS MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS HAVE RESULTED IN NOTHING. WHILE IN MOTION, THE AUDIO SYSTEM COMES ON, CARPLAY STARTS AND STOPS, AND THE VEHICLE IS A REGULAR DISTRACTION-LADEN, UNSAFE, UNTESTED PLATFORM FOR FAILING OWNERS. USB PORTS STOP WORKING AND SHORT OUT. SYSTEM REBOOTS. AUDIO COMES ON AT BLARING VOLUME.
