2010 NISSAN MAXIMA — Complaint #1352576

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE filed January 30, 2017

NHTSA complaint #1352576 (ODI reference 10948587) concerns a 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA and was filed on January 30, 2017. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 30, 2017. The vehicle had 67,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering:column locking:anti-theft device, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN MAXIMA cohort independently describe similar steering:column locking:anti-theft device failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
