Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“This vehicle has less than 5000 miles. While trying to make a turn the power steering went out. Luckily I was moving at a low rate of speed but fear that someone else may experience this at a high rate of speed and end up with more tragic results. If they do not have the part to fix this vehicle as I am being told then why are they still building them. I am paying insurance on a vehicle that I cannot use. Either fix the vehicle or refund me my money because as it stands now this vehicle is totally worthless.”

NHTSA complaint #11498230, filed 2022-12

“I purchased the vehicle in May of 2022. Since that time, the vehicle has had all safety systems report as failed on at least 11 different occasions. The vehicle will report System Failure , ABS Failure, Traction Control Failure, Forward & Rear Collision sensor failures. It was reported to me by the dealership that when this happens, the ABS and Traction Control do continue to work, however I have had my brakes lock up and send me sliding down the road as a result of these errors. The errors can occur in any weather or environmental conditions -- They are seemingly random. …”

NHTSA complaint #11525309, filed 2023-06

“The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle began to slide as if driving on ice. The road surface was wet, but it was not raining at the time of the failure. The contact attempted to regain control the steering wheel however, the steering wheel became stiff. The vehicle failed to respond while turning. The contact was able to pull over with the vehicle still running. The contact was unaware if any warning lights were illuminated. The contact had driven the vehicle to a local dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. …”
