Example complaints

Air bags: “I have brought this vehicle to glendale Nissan twice for repair of air bag recall. Warning light came back on following day. Upon second occasion service tech said that they had changed air bag component, however there was a deleted code stored previously that somehow re-activated. He said they had cleared it and that I should monitor it. Light continues to be on. I'm concerned about safety of driving it any longer. I'm at a loss at what my options are.”

NHTSA complaint #11342283, filed 2020-07, 85,000 miles

Other or unknown: “Vehicle was on the interstate going speed limit at 60mph. There were no vehicles within the vicinity of my Nissan Armada. Suddenly I heard a loud pop-shatter sound. Almost like a gun shot or a very loud and close thunder sound. I started to hear rattling and I slightly opened my sunroof shade to see shattered glass. I closed it and went directly to the dealership.”

NHTSA complaint #10985976, filed 2017-05, 40,000 miles

Steering: “Power steering pressure hose leaking at 55,000 miles. This is same issue as on previous year models and other Nissan models. This vehicle was purchased new in october 2014.”

NHTSA complaint #11153183, filed 2018-11, 55,000 miles

Body and structure: “I bought my veh on 2/7/18 after purchasing and getting home several days later while driving down the hwy the lift tail gate started to open and my dashboard started to ding but there where no warning lights. I had to pull off hwy really quickly to deal with this issue. Then again on 2/20/18 the lift gate did this again 2 times while driving down the road. Went to dealership and they said before the second incident it wouldn't happen again. This has scared me both times of how dangerous this is. …”
