Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle contains most of the technical service bulletins and a couple of the recalls. My main concern/question is why won't Nissan cover the expenses for the repair of the front end noise (one of the TSB's #ntb93189) which will lead to further damage of the vehicle??? No safety defect listed in the summary.”
NHTSA complaint #719099, filed 2000-02“I do not recall the exact date last year that I complained to the local Nissan dealer, and then wrote to Nissan in california and had several telephone conversations with them. The exhaust manifold bolts are breaking on my car, causing a loud noise that the local dealer admits is a Nissan problem that has been known about for a long time. Nissan in california as much as admitted there is an exhaust manifold bolt breakage problem, and offered to give me a $500 certificate toward the purchase of another Nissan. I only had 40,000 miles on the car at the time, and now have only 60,000. …”
