Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On route 414 heading south going about 49, my hood popped open and busted my windshield. Nissan told me that there was no fix for the problem and that they could not help me with fixing, refunding or trading for another car. I am extremely frustrated that they will not help get me in a safer car. I also asked about a loaner until this could be fixed and they said no.”
NHTSA complaint #11365620, filed 2020-10, 118,000 miles“While driving down the road, approximately 3 miles into my drive, I stopped at a stop light. When I tried to accelerate, my car would not move. After 2-3 seconds it decided to accelerate. About another half mile down the road at the next stop light, it did it again. Each time, I was almost rear ended by cars behind me trying to get to the interstate. The car is now at the dealership being looked at.”
NHTSA complaint #11350866, filed 2020-08, 97,000 miles“My 2013 Nissan Altima sl keeps stalling on me without any warning. The decoder stated it was the max air flow sensor, I replaced it, I'm still having the same problem. I had a tune up done even though I have low miles. No engine light is on. I read some reviews and I'm not the only person with the the same car or year having this issue. You take it to the dealer and they tell me nothing is wrong with it.”
NHTSA complaint #11363802, filed 2020-10, 69,153 miles“Takata recall washed my car on thursday evening parked it in garage for the night. The next morning I was able to pull it out of garage and back in hours later. Roughly 6 hrs later went to start it and nothing!!! When I hold brake down and push button it will turn over but wont spark. I have been researching online and seems I am not the only one this has affected.”
NHTSA complaint #11053723, filed 2017-12, 90,000 miles“I have been having an issue with the gear lock not allowing me to get out of park. I have push to start and my car starts with no problems. This has happened more than once and the only way to get the gears to move is by pushing down the gear release lock. I do it have a video but there are complaints of thi and videos on youtube!”
