Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Door handles randomly brake. This has happend with 2 door handles which I replaced pretty close in time to each other but regular use and nothing rough with them. If we have to get out in an emergency like an accident the door handles aren't reliable. From the inside you can't open the door but if your car isn't operable you cant reach outside to open it.”

“While driving home today with my two young boys on a rural, wooded road, my sunroof shattered. It sounded like an explosion. I went back to the scene where I heard the explosion to look for rocks and/or tree limbs and nothing was found. The vehicle has no signs of rocks hitting the roof or windshield. It appears to have exploded spontaneously.”

“My car was on a city street, when I stopped by my mailbox, and couldn't shift into gear, because it was stuck in park. I went on the internet to find out how to temporarily get it out of park, so I could drive my car to the Nissan repair shop.the whole shift assembly was changed for $900.”

“Sun visor causing visibility issues. Sun visor has cracked on inside and now it does not close all the way. Inner parts are plastic and heat has caused it to crack and warp which now it will hang into my field of vision and prevent me from seeing the road ahead. It does this constantly. I see on the internet several complaint for this model of car with the same issue.”

“I was driving my 13 Nissan Pathfinder. I stopped at an intersection. When I went to push on the accelerator it jolted forward and then I lost all power to the accelerator. Had my children in the car and was stuck in the middle of an intersection. My car wouldn't move. I tried to turn it off and it wouldn't turn back on. Thankfully my fianc jumped the car. Although it was jerking in a low gear, I was able to get home which wasn't far.”
