Example complaints

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

“2010 Nissan Altima Hybrid suddenly lost all power (both electric and gasoline generated) while moving in traffic. I had to cut across 2 lanes through heavy traffic (while coasting) to get to the curb. After waiting and shutting the car down, I was able to restart it. I took it to the local dealer, which simply said the car showed no codes and, therefore, was unable to diagnose the problem or make repairs. I consider this a major safety problem, as I now question whether the vehicle can be safely operated or taken on any long trips.”
