Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Traveling 20 MPH on clean, dry concrete, approaching a yield sign at an intersection. Applied brakes and felt ABS pulse in the brakes. Abs pulses stopped and then the brake pedal continued to travel to the floor. I ended up finally coming to a stop in the middle the intersection. The driver who had the right of way managed to avoid hitting my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11113447, filed 2018-07, 155,000 miles“My Murano loses power while stopped or upon acceleration from a stopped position. All my vehicle lights inside and out flicker and flash. Theses lights include dome, dash, radio, outside lights headlights, park lights, brake lights. I've taken it to the dealer for diagnostic and they always say it's the battery. I've had 5 Nissan batteries in 5 years. I've had the alternator replaced with no relief for the electrical problems”

NHTSA complaint #11099533, filed 2018-06, 150,000 miles“I have a repeated electrical issue with my car. At first, I thought my issue was diagnosed improperly but I was recently on the NHTSA page and found over 20 complaints that expressed the same exact issue I have been having. That issue being the fact that my car, when in motion will completely shut off on me and go into neutral. This will happen without any warning and for me has happened both times on the highway while going 75 MPH. Once the car stalls out, the power steering will also go out in about 30 seconds and the engine will completely shut off at that time. …”
