Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle was burglarized. The thieves got in through the rear sliding glass. The latch does not lock and is faulty. If the latch was fully functional, nobody would have gone in and stolen everything I owned.”
NHTSA complaint #11229697, filed 2019-07, 72,000 miles“I have documented everything. Pictures, receipts, who I talked to, dates. Everything in a long outline that I will attach. Please read it. The issue is that I purchased this truck 12-28-2016 and have yet to get the advertised fuel capacity of 21.1 gallons. My truck gets about consistently 15 gallons to fill up and no reserve tank. Nissan is not disputing that there is a defect and my vehicle is not the only one. There is another truck at my dealership right now with the same exact problem. And the dealership has admitted that there are others. Plus I've found more online in forums. …”
NHTSA complaint #10967385, filed 2017-03, 9 miles“Air bag light comes on when driving on a dirt road. Fuel related, but not sure, engine light is on it might be evaporative emission system vent circuit shorted. Left wheel passenger side rotor cover keeps twisting and rubs against the wheel and makes noise.”
NHTSA complaint #11002604, filed 2017-07, 55,120 miles“Very serious safety hazard when using Nissan connect hands-free system with all cell phones. Nissan connect does not differentiate the difference when calling a person with multiple phone numbers. Instead of asking would you like to call ____ on cell or at home ?, it asks you which phone number is correct? This now forces you to grab your phone, search for the contact, and verify which phone number is correct. The entire time, you are now distracted from driving and defeats the purpose of being hands free. This is a serious safety hazard with all Nissan vehicles that have Nissan connect.”
