2016 max

Throttle body and valve body both went bad and had to have them replaced.
Brakes were extremely bad, took 3 replacements to clear the issue over a year.

Other than that, love the car.

98k km on it

non of the above mentioned issues.

The only issue I faced was the Belt Tensioner I replaced due to rattle at low RPM (between 1 to around 1.8)

That's it

No issues so far, except some idiot banged there door into mine, leaving white paint and a small ding on the door. No idea when it happened, as it was the passenger side.

So far so good on the Nissan front.

A couple of bugs: blind spot sensor and outside mirror


With only 43 miles on the odo the blind spot monitoring system stopped working with a malfunction message: radar blocked. Went back to the dealer and it was fixed the day after. So it was on the shop the same day I took delivery of my car, I just noticed that the passenger side mirror does not goes down when in Reverse. It is not a big deal for me but I can wait to take if something else goes wrong . So far I’m very happy with the car, hope not more bugs appear

If it's just the passenger side, that could be an defect. If both are not adjusting, make sure your mirror select switch is not in the center position. If it's to the left or right it should adjust the mirrors automatically

This was a fun one. First, overall, I am very happy with my 16 Platinum and I get a lot of compliments on it. One day I was driving a customer that commented that I must not spend any time in the back seat. When we stopped he showed me the mismatched door panels: one from an SR (I think...) and the "woodgrain" aluminum for the Platinum. The service advisor got a laugh out of this and of course, it was fixed under warranty.

I also had the driver's seat replaced for what felt like a loose spring in the middle of the bottom seat cushion.
