Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The problem with my car was the involuntary locking of all doors without my involvement whenever I parked the car somewhere. This proved very inconvenient at times when I didn't have my car keys with me. The dealer kept the car for a few days only to tell me they could not solve the problem. They didn't even offer to contact Nissan with the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10722965, filed 2015-05, 5,000 miles“The visor will not stay up. It is dangerous because I am 6'1 and my son is 6'9 and we can't see out of the window when we drive. This is supposedly a common thing with this car. It costs like $300. To fix. It is a safety issue and nissa knows about it and should have to fix it without charge.”
NHTSA complaint #10519996, filed 2013-06, 149,000 miles“Subframe broke between the rear wheels while driving on city street. Mechanic inspected it and subframe is rusted from inside out. Mileage on the car is 150,000 miles and I am the first owner that took very good care of the car, from keeping it in my garage, to regular maintenance and car washing to prevent rust. Car is inoperable waiting for the part to come in for replacement for 6 days. Nissan had a recall on this model for 2003-2007 year of manufacturing, however I had not received any notice.”
NHTSA complaint #11129645, filed 2018-09, 150,000 miles“My driver side rear door began malfunctioning when using the remote and button door lock controls. All doors would lock but the driver side rear door would remain unlocked. The same was true when unlocking all doors with remote or buttons. All doors would unlock accept the driver side rear door. The issue has now progressed to other doors in the car with increasing frequency including the rear hatch not opening at all and I have not manual button to flip to allow the hatch to open.”
NHTSA complaint #10704477, filed 2015-04, 108,110 miles“Driver side exterior door handle came completely out of the door when I tried to open it one day. Nissan dealerships want up to $400 to fix this problem but they can't tell me how its actually broken without taking the door panel off. I don't know if a bolt or fastener came loose or if there is an actual break...nonetheless I have to stick my fingers inside where the handle used to be and pull a tiny lever to open the door.”
