Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was driving down the road on a residential street, the hood popped opened and hit the windshield. My vision was obstructed but I was able to safely pull off to the side of the road. There is evident damage to both fenders and possibly the hood. I currently do not feel comfortable driving the vehicle. Nissan acknowledges the failure and incident, however will not repair my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11331635, filed 2020-06, 118,000 miles“I was pulling into my parking spot with my foot on the brake. As I reached the parking spot, the car accelerated and crashed into my living room. My foot never touched the gas. The only way to park in such a tight spot is to have your foot on the brake. I have no idea how this happened but we could have been seriously hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #11281084, filed 2019-11, 55,000 miles“When attempting to open front driver door the handler did not allow me to open the door to get out. I left work drove myself home, put the car in park turn off the engine reach to open the door the handler was loose and nothing happening, I could not get out, so I use my cell phone and call my husband who was inside the home to come and open the door from the outside so that I could get out..”
NHTSA complaint #11096939, filed 2018-05, 65,935 miles“The hood flew open while traveling on a state numbered route approximately 35-40 MPH. We were blessed that it didn't cause a wreck with injuries. This is common from what I have discovered, yet no remedy. I hate this fact because it seems as though the manufacturer is simply waiting for all who own this vehicle to phase out, sell, and move on. We will do this, trade towards another make forever. No nissans no more never. Thanks for nothing Nissan.”
NHTSA complaint #11405223, filed 2021-03, 44,000 miles“I was driving my 2014 Nissan Altima with my 2 year old in the car on the highway when my sunroof shattered, sounding like a gun shot. I had the sunroof replaced shortly after purchasing my car in 2014 for leaks. I haven't had any problems since until today (9/5/18). We were traveling on us 75n near collins road at the time of the incident. I'm not aware of anything that would have caused this random occurrence.”
