Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving on a road going appx 35 MPH. Stopped at a traffic light, and my engine shut off and my car drifted. The brakes wouldnt even work. My radio and lights remained functional. I turned the car off and restarted it and when I put it in drive or reverse, it shut down again. The engine only stayed on in neutral or park.”
NHTSA complaint #11090421, filed 2018-04, 39,000 miles“My car shut down multiple times while driving it to work. I had to get it towed to Nissan and find a way to work. Nissan said they reprogrammed the CVT transmission and didnt bother to tell me there was a recall. When I got it back it was worse than when I took it in the first time. It is unprofessional and dangerous for them not to tell me about the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10991565, filed 2017-05, 40,000 miles“Since I leased my car in may2014 I forgot to turn the engine off 4 times . Twice it ran all night in my garage but fortunately the gas fumes did not enter my house while I was sleeping. I believe its because I'm not use to the keyless ignition system. At first I thought I mistakenly started the engine with the remote start capability while the key was in my pocket. …”
NHTSA complaint #10695250, filed 2015-03, 200 miles“My check engine light came on today. Took my car to baker Nissan dealership for them to put it on diagnostic machine. I was charged $135. No work was done since I am out of warranty and extended warranty. They told me the engine was misfiring. Two codes appeared p0304 and p0300. In order to replace 1 ignition coil it was $357 for parts and labor. To replace all 4 ignition coils and spark plugs it is $1023.”
NHTSA complaint #11054074, filed 2017-12, 95,324 miles“My car has had many problems with the check engine light. My smog mechanic has checked it, he stated it needed a mass airflow senser. He installed it. $$$$$$ light went out, came back on in a day or to. He ordered another one, same thing happened. I am really tired of this. I bought the car new, only has 68000 miles on it. Help me out, whats the problem. I noticed that alot of people have the same problem. The dealer has no clue!!!!!! Help me please”
