Example complaints

“I have already filed a complaint: friday june 2, 2017. This is from research on www (thousands of ads to sell Nissan bell housings on www); from youtube concerning a $7,000 reair: autonation Nissan of brandon in brandon, fl did the work and a few months later and a couple thousand miles I am having no issues and much of the bell housing rattle is gone! They ended up replacing my drive shaft along with the bell housing, and I also got a new front catalytic converter/downpipe as it was damaged during removal due to seized hardware. The whole warranty job was around $7,000! …”

NHTSA complaint #10993097, filed 2017-06, 60 miles

“All lights would illuminate on dashboard and vehicle would not start. The radio would turn on without any key in the ignition. This would only occur when raining outside and vehicle was parked. After an hour, the vehicle started but when taking the key out of the ignition, the vehicle would still remain running for about a minute or so before shutting off hard. Upon a quick inspection of the vehicle, it appeared the wires to the electrical system were hot, and I disconnected the battery to have it towed to avoid fire risk. I have a video of what the truck was doing. …”

“Vehicle is equipped with a back-up/rear proximity warning system. It consists of four sensors mounted on the face of the rear bumper, and a variable warning beeper in the cabin. One of the four sensors on my truck sustained damage on it's face, which the Nissan dealer(lokey Nissan, clearwater fl) says has caused the entire warning system to fail. This is a significant safety system, with quadruple redundancy. How can it's design allow for complete failure when one of four sensors (supposedly) fails? As a mechanical engineering p.e., I consider this to be a serious design flaw.”

NHTSA complaint #10790483, filed 2015-11, 3,100 miles

“The design of this Nissan 2014 Frontier crew cab's rear seat locking feature is very poor. We have not had any mishaps yet, but the possibility certainly exists because of the way you must unlock the rear passenger doors. When I took possession of my new truck I reported to the salesman my concerns pertaining to the way the rear doors unlocked. He told me to take it somewhere and have automatic locks put on it as they did not do that type of work. This feature should be standard on crew cabs. …”
