We bought this vehicle brand new in 2016, and it seem to be a nice vehicle until it hit 30,000 miles. When we hit 30,000 miles in April 2020, the brake system failed, causing a passenger side collision, however, there were no injuries. Then in November 2020, the transmission went out. At that time we had to have the front brakes replaced as well. Then in May 2021 at 40,000 miles, we had to replace the front brakes again. In September 2021 at 50,000 miles, the front and rear brakes started grinding and needed replaced, which ended up having the ABS system, ABS module, brake lines, brake rotors, brake calipers, brake drums, and pads replaced. In February 2022 at 58,000 miles, while driving home, there was a loud bang from the front of the vehicle, the vehicle shuddered violently, had very little acceleration, and there was a large amount of white smoke coming from the back of the vehicle. Had the vehicle towed into the service shop, where they stated the engine block had thrown a rod through the engine. Had the engine replaced. Four days after the vehicle was returned, the front suspension collapsed on the tires. Had the front suspension replaced at 58,000 miles. August 2022, the transmission failed once again at 69,000 miles, and also had to replace the front brakes again. At 76,000 miles, in March 2023, had to once again replace front brake pads, rotors, and passenger caliper. No rear drums and pads need replaced. Vehicle ABS system is nonresponsive, ABS light is on once again, when, pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle does not stop just like when ABS system and module was replaced prior. Emergency brake does not work as well. I have contacted Nissan several times, to which I was told they would no longer service my vehicle. Now I am wondering what to do at this point.

Car has been making tapping/knocking/squealing noise since about 20,000 miles. Dealership was notified, as well as nissan consumer affairs. (audio was taken of noise). Car was taken to shop. Mechanics could not "replicate sound" that my car was making, even though I had shown mechanics proof, and they heard car making noise at idle and when car was revved up. Mechanic was instructed to take car home for a period of 7 days. He could not "replicate sound" that my car was making. My car had been in and out of the shop (for the same issue) at least 6 times between 2016-2017. And the issue still remained. Now (40,000+ miles since noise first started), I have noticed a significant reduction in horsepower, coupled with the squealing/tapping/knocking noise, that is progressively getting louder. I once again have contacted nissan consumer affairs, who instructed me to take it to a different nissan repair facility and front the $99.00 diagnostic fee to have my vehicle diagnosed. I am now without a vehicle, and I still am in the dark as to what is going on with my car. The sound that my car makes occurs when my car is moving, idling, in gear, or in park. I have notified the dealership and consumer affairs of this ongoing issue, and feel that they just do not want to look into this, even though there is an issue with my car.
