Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The window problem I have seems to be with a lot of this car model. Each time I had a window fixed, it cost me $220.00. It seems to me that this is a defect that Nissan should be paying for. Other than this problem my other with the transmisson just started and I do have 100,000 miles on the car. I would expect some things to go wrong. The window problem started about 5 years ago. Also when I took my car in to have the first window repaired I asked about my radio antenna not going up and down anymore. It seems that this is the same kind of problem I had with my windows. …”
