“On 3/25 at approx. 3:30 in the afternoon I was traveling north on the florida tpke. At approx 65-70 MPH when I suddenly hear a loud swoosh and noticed that the shade beneath my moonroof was violently shaking. The shock nearly caused me to lose control of my vehicle. I reached up opened the sliding shade cover to see that there was nothing there. I pulled onto the shoulder to inspect my vehicle when I noticed that the glass portion of my sunroof was gone. At this point I really got nervous thinking that it could possibly have hit the car or motorcycle behind me causing a horrific accident. …”

NHTSA complaint #10575356, filed 2014-03, 78,000 miles

“The dashboard near the windshield is melting causing a sticky residue which causes a glare when driving. The glare is so blinding that I hate to drive when it's sunny outside and is a major safety issue. I've read and seen numerous complaints online regarding my make, model and year but nissan is refusing to acknowledge these complaints and issue a recall. There appears to be issued recalls for certain models such fx35, m35 and some altimas but the issue appears to be much larger problem across the board. …”

NHTSA complaint #11100353, filed 2018-06

“I have had multiple issues with my car. The most severe have been a replacement bolt on the axle that made a clicking sound when I put it in reverse. That took place within 2 months of my owning the car. The other has been my brakes. They were making squealing sounds when they were depressed, at 4500 miles. I kept complaining to the dealership and they finally realized that there was an issue with the front brakes. It was fixed at 9,000 miles. The squealing subsided somewhat, but there has always been a sound. …”
