Example complaints

“While pulling into a parking space at the park, as I took my foot off the brake, the car surged forward as if I had pushed the gas pedal. My foot never touched the gas pedal. The car ran over the parking stopper and the sidewalk onto the soccer field fence. Luckily, no one was hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #10559578, filed 2014-01, 62,000 miles“The driver side and passenger side front door actuators stopped working on my Nissan when I use my fob or the door button to open. I press the button and the door locks will only move part of the way, but will not fully lock or unlock the door. I have to put the physical key into the lock and twist to open the door. I know this is my door actuators because the exact same thing happened 4 months ago to my rear two doors. I replaced them and the doors work in the rear now, but I believe the original parts are faulty and that is why they are going out in the front. …”
