Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear hatchback window shattered when the hatch was closed with normal force and without any objects obstructing closure or touching the window. The vehicle was stationary in a driveway at the time.”
NHTSA complaint #11414936, filed 2021-05, 6,000 miles“When using android auto in the infotainment, one cannot see the climate (HVAC) status, so it creates a dangerous distraction to adjust the heating/air conditioning, fan speed, defrost, etc. When in normal menus and an adjustment is made to the climate settings, it is displayed on the top of the screen in a banner. This is the only place where this information is visible, and generally works fine. However, when using android auto, this banner does not activate and is not visible. …”
NHTSA complaint #11374885, filed 2020-11, 1,000 miles“After a very light snow, wipers stopped working. Dealer said wiper arm was stressed and bent making wipers inoperable. Claimed it was not a warranty repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11183974, filed 2019-03, 16,000 miles“When the vehicle is in stop and go or heavy traffic, the air conditioning system throttles itself back to conserve power in the traction battery. Combined with the fact there are no rear seat vents (either in the console or the floor), it gets dangerously hot in the vehicle, especially in the back of the vehicle. According to Nissan, USA, this is the design of the vehicle. Temperatures of over 100 degrees have been recorded in my daughter's car seat while in traffic with the air conditioning hardly running or running at a very low power. …”
NHTSA complaint #11253002, filed 2019-09, 4,500 miles“Backup camera fails to display when in reverse. Dangerous reduced visibility of surroundings while reversing vehicle. Called dealership and they confirmed that my VIN is not on the recall list, but I am having the issue! They said I would be charged service to repair this federal safety requirement. Blank screen when entering Reverse mode.”
