Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I noticed at driving speeds of around 45 MPH the truck would shake very bad. Also my heater would only blow cold air. When I took the truck in they said the transmission fluid looked like a strawberry milkshake. $6000.00 later and looking online seeing all the other people that have had the same issues I am trying to figure out why Nissan is not being held responsible?”
NHTSA complaint #10511058, filed 2013-05, 97,400 miles“The our side mirror on the driver's side of my 2005 Nissan Frontier crew cab truck cannot be adjusted to eliminate a blind spot. The mirror is electric, and is electric heated, and will not adjust at the angle needed to see cars next to you. This means I must always take my eyes off the road and turn my head to look for cars. My other trucks and cars don't have this problem, so I know that Nissan could correct it with a different mirror motor. I have contacted Nissan about it and gotten back an unsatisfactory form letter.”
