Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On july 8, 2014 my A/C stopped working. I took it to a local dealer who later informed me that compressor locked up and shot metal particles throughout the A/C system. I had to have the entire A/C system replaced. Nissan refused to reimburse my $2500 expense because vehicle is out of warranty. Please, investigate how the entire A/C system would fail on an 82,000-mile vehicle of a respectable brand like Nissan.”
NHTSA complaint #10622486, filed 2014-08, 82,000 miles“The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Frontier. While attempting to change the spare tire, the contact noticed that the jack would not raise the vehicle high enough to replace it. The vehicle had not been inspected at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 31,000.”
