Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Driving down highway 421 in wilkesboro, nc on a 45 MPH section of the highway, merged over into the turning lane to turn left across two lanes of traffic. Waited for a break in traffic, upon a break in traffic tried to accelerate to cross traffic, as vehicle started to accelerate it stalled in middle of road. Wife and children in car started screaming. Traffic nice enough not to run into us. Had car towed to local automotive repair shop. Found that this is a common problem for the 5.6 litter nissan/ Infiniti engine. One of the timing gears for the left bank stopped rotating some how. …”
