Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The fiberglass material under the hood caught on fire at high temperature engine operation. The material was old and frayed. And the engine compartment caught fire as a result. I notified Nissan and they have been reluctant to help me. They offered to inspect the vehicle at a charge (by phone). When I went to the dealer, they said they didnt want to touch it and that I should take it somewhere else. I asked Nissan if there was a known issue with the insulation, or recall info and they replied no. …”
