Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When trying to adjust drivers side seat, the seat will not adjust but will eventually adjust after the driver has already started to drive. The seat then adjusts all the way to the front which puts the driver as close as possible to the steering wheel and also puts the drivers feet close to the brake and gas pedal which causes inadvertent pressing of both gas and brake.”
NHTSA complaint #10456127, filed 2012-04, 75,000 miles“It started with what the technicians mentioned as a misfire, and I kept smelling something burning through the air vents inside the car. After spending $1200.00 for a complete tune-up with Nissan parts, fixing a motor mount, and a cheap hose that crumbled as they were repairing the car in february 2014 I had to spend another $500.00 in november to replace the same Nissan spark plugs that burned out after no where near their usage date and replace back coils. …”
