Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “The clutch slave cylinder failed which results in not being able to put the car in gear once you have stopped and placed the car in neutral. This failure happened at an intersection and caused me to not be able to proceed. One car almost slammed into me. Nissan has known about this inferior plastic part since 2009 and has not changed anything.”

NHTSA complaint #11406159, filed 2021-04, 58,000 miles

Engine: “Last saturday, took the cover off and was going to the car wash to shine her up real good. On the way after stopping at a light I pulled off then went to 2nd gear, then to third and that when it happened. The clutch went to the floor and did not come back up. I'm going down the street not knowing what to do next because there is a stop sign but I'm afraid to stop because I don't know what will happen, a very dangerous situation. …”

NHTSA complaint #10860843, filed 2016-04, 18,000 miles

Air bags: “The air bag disabled light is on when my wife sits in the passenger seat. She weighs 120lbs and is 5' 8 tall. I have taken the car to Nissan several times and they say the sensor is working to spec.”
