What owners wrote
I have a 2007 nissan maxima and my car shot out of a car wash and across 4 lanes of traffic and crashed into federal property. After the car was pushed from the dry option I put my foot on the brake took the car out of neutral, put it into drive and the car took off like a rocket. I had both feet on the brakes and had to use two hands to steer the car away from traffic. I had the choice of a light pole or a fence on federal property. I decided on the fence to be the least damaging.
2007 nissan maxima has issue with ABS engaging causing transmission to go into a limp/safe mode which does not allow you to accelerate even when gas pedal is floored. On left turn almost t-bone because of this defect which is well documented since 2004. Vehicle was in motion on roadway 45 MPH. Recall needed people are going to get killed if they haven't already.
