NHTSA Complaint #10735668 — 2014 NISSAN MAXIMA

I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN MAXIMA IN JANUARY 2015 EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MARCH OF 2015 WHERE THE CONSOLE SCREEN (RADIO, HEAT/AC CONTROLS, GAS MILEAGE, ETC.) CONSTANTLY BLACKED OUT/VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL LINES APPEARED. THE SCREEN WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED AND THE REPAIR WAS FIXED BY A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. AFTER RECEIVING AN OIL CHANGE IN EARLY JULY 2015 (FIRST FREE OIL CHANGE) I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A TICKING AND KNOCKING NOISE/SOUND THAT WAS RATHER LOUD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ENGINE KNOCK FROM #1 MAIN BEARING. AT THE DEALERSHIP A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS SET-UP AND I WAS PROVIDED A SERVICE BULLETIN (TECHNICAL BULLETIN) FROM NISSAN. THE BULLETIN READS AS FOLLOWS: CLASSIFICATION: EM12-014A REFERENCE NTB12-01A DATED DECEMBER 17, 2013 THAT FOR 2009-2014 MAXIMAS HAVE ENGINE KNOCKS FROM #1 MAIN BEARING (ON THIS NOTICE THERE IS A NOTE DO NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR THIS ISSUE). I DID NOT REALIZE THE MAXIMA HAD ENGINE ISSUES. IF I KNEW THIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I WOULD HAVE SELECTED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO NISSAN REQUESTING THE REPURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE WITH VARIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECTS (CURRENTLY WAITING ON A RESPONSE). ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE TRIED TO RECEIVE AN EVEN TRADE FOR A SAFE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BROUGHT THIS CAR BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AT THIS POINT DUE TO THE DEPRECIATION OF THE VEHICLE/CURRENT MANUFACTURER DEFECTS (UNSAFE ENGINE). THIS IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 7,000 MILES TO HAVE SO MANY DEFECTS THAT WAS PURCHASED 6 MONTHS AGO. ANY ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
