Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On 4 to 5 times in a one month period, while turning right, my steering felt like it went completely out. It felt as if all power was gone and became very hard to turn. It has not done this in a while, but my steering wheel is very loose. While parked , I can shake my steering wheel side to side. I do not think this is normal. I called crown Nissan and they do not have any issues with steering in my year truck. I think they are wrong and will follow up with this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10485199, filed 2012-11, 54,300 miles“My trucks steering system is making a loud noise when turning and going over bumps at low speed. When my truck is raised up and I turn the steering wheel there is no noise. When I lower it down on the ground and turn the wheel when parked it makes the loud noise. I checked recalls and there seems to be one for some steering wheel issue, but when I called Nissan they said my vehicle was not affected by that recall. After reading customer reviews, my vehicle is having the same problems that those customers vehicles were having that were affected by the recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10970503, filed 2017-04, 116,843 miles“I had just filled my tank with fuel. I pulled of the lot of the station into traffic, notice my fuel gauge didn't never register the fuel just added. Moments later the low fuel light came on and the service engine soon light also. I circle back to the station where the fuel was purchase and the truck began to sputter. I return to the station and proceeded to the clerk that sold me the fuel and explained what happen. I was thinking it was a problem with the fuel. Clerk stated she would record my claim/ I left the station and proceeded to drive home where I arrive safely.”
