Example complaints

“When driving along the truck lost power then when the truck was turned back on the motor made a loud noise. Now the repairman tells me the truck needs a new motor. It has not given me any trouble before. It is not a work truck it's a pleasure truck. I'm retired. With that low mileage you would think the motor would be better than that. I hope you can help me. Thank you”
NHTSA complaint #10702002, filed 2015-03, 43,000 miles“The check engine light came on while starting the truck. It was place on the diagnostic machine and the result was that a sensor in the gas tank was not working. I received a recall notice one week after the warranty had expired. The notice stated that the warranty would take care of the problem. I emailed Nissan to complain and never heard from them.”
NHTSA complaint #10548378, filed 2013-10, 120,000 miles“I was driving my truck when it began to slip at round 45 MPH. The shifting then became very hard. I looked on-line and saw websites discussing transmission/radiator problems. I opened my radiator and saw it was very milky in color. Took it in to the dealership and told that I needed a new radiator and transmission because of a known problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10557710, filed 2013-12, 105,000 miles“Truck begin shuttering and shifting hard. Took it to Nissan and they said the coolant had mixed with the transmission fluid and I will need new transmission and radiator. Cost about 5500.00. Nissan service told me the first time everything was okay. Only after I took it in the second time after I had 100,000 miles then they told me about the leak. Nissan refused to pay for any of this.”
NHTSA complaint #10567013, filed 2014-03, 93,000 miles“As I am driving, the transmission will not shift at 40 MPH. I pull over and find out that it will not go into reverse, either. I drive over to the Nissan dealership and find out that the part of the radiator that connects to the tranny has cracked and dumped all of the radiator fluid into the tranny, killing it. I need a new radiator and transmission. …”
