Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was changing the oil on my Maxima and noticed both drivers and passengers floor boards almost totally rusted through. This is a very dangerous due to safety of both driver and passengers. After looking through the complaint section of this website it seems to be a very common problem that Nissan should need to recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10676327, filed 2015-01, 214,000 miles“Airbag warning light won't turn off. I'm worried it will spontaneously deploy at anytime. It is the opinion of various car wash establishments that roof and hood paint is a common defect on Nissan vehicles, including mini-vans. My car's hood and roof look like I've lived by the sea for years. Truth is that I've always lived inland. There's no reason why my car should look 20 years old!”
NHTSA complaint #10659150, filed 2014-11, 92,240 miles“My car has approximately 60,000 miles on it. When I took it to the dealer for a squeaky noise in the engine, they told me the timing chain was failing and needed to be replaced. My hood and roof also have the clear coat peeling up and fading. Since timing chain is a safety issue, I paid 2,000 for them to fix this. I contacted their consumer affairs and since my car is out of warranty, they cannot help me.”
NHTSA complaint #10786874, filed 2015-10, 60,000 miles“Took car to the garage for inspection. It did not pass due to rust under driver's and passenger's side floor boards. They told me the rest of the car was in perfect condition and that they believed it might be a manufacturing defect. The amount of rust is far beyond what an 8 year old car should have. Contacted Nissan but they told me the rust warranty is only covered for 3 years/36,000 miles and it is too far out of warranty for them to do anything about it.”
NHTSA complaint #10714019, filed 2015-05, 100,000 miles“I took my Nissan in for a routine oil change at pep boys and was immediately notified of rust on the floor boards on both sides of the car. It was brought to my attention that the driver side is becoming a safety issue and can fail at any time due to the severity of the problem. I notified my local Nissan dealership and was given a quote for the repairs. I forwarded said quote to consumer affairs at Nissan of north america and was later notified that the manufacture declined any solution to my problem. …”
