2022 Nissan Maxima

2022 Nissan Maxima: only a handful of complaints, but two involve serious outcomes

Owners filed just 5 complaints with NHTSA, spread evenly across five areas (20% each): service brakes, hydraulic, structure, exterior lighting, and engine. No deaths are reported. Two reports stand out by outcome: a brake/hydraulic report tied to 1 crash and 2 injuries, and an engine report involving 1 fire. The low total means there isn't a clear standout problem, but the brakes and engine reports are worth a close look.
