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 sunvisor on the drivers side of my 2009 Nissan Frontier does not stay in place. It has fallen numerous times blocking my vision when driving in heavy traffic. Additionally, when the sunvisor is down it vibrates at your eye level and severely distracts the driver. Now, I am always watching the sunvisor to make sure it does not block my vision. Note: I had the drivers side sunvisor replaced when the truck was about two months old.”
