NHTSA complaint #11230533, filed 2019-07, 73,177 miles“Rear hatch will not open in cool weather. The rear hatch actuator was replaced in 2011 and every autumn when it starts to get cool, the rear hatch will not unlock and open. We send it to the auto mechanic and they lubricate the mechanism and it will last through most of the winter season. Some winters it will open until spring, sometimes we have to drive it back to the mechanic a second time before the weather gets warm.”
NHTSA complaint #10648935, filed 2014-10, 50,000 miles“As I was driving I heard a noise that sounded like something fell on the roof of my truck. My child pointed to the overhead console. It had broken off of whatever was securing it and is now hanging. I've looked online and found numerous people experiencing this issue. Nissan needs to address this. An overhead console that can fall at any time without warning is dangerous. My child could have been injured.”
