Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The battery would not stay locked in place and this seemed to impact the mileage starting over and did not keep accurate amount of gas in vehicle. My transmission was going out; felt as if something was being dragged while driving. I have had to purchase tires twice since buying the vehicle even with getting rotations every other oil change.”
NHTSA complaint #11081803, filed 2018-03, 90,000 miles“Since I got the car they have been working on a sensor on the passenger side.. First the air bag sensor then the seat belt sensor. Now the air bag is totally off and wont come back on.. They are telling me the warranty is over this is a manufacturing defect and I want Nissan to pay for the repair.. It is no longer safe to have a passenger with me in the front what can I do?”
NHTSA complaint #11277754, filed 2019-11, 88,000 miles“While driving approx 20 MPH I bumped against the curb on the road I was driving. This insignificant bump caused the entire passenger side curtain airbag and passenger seat airbag to deploy. My wife and son were taken to the er. Vehicle was not struck, no body damage, some curb rash on the wheels. Over aggressive air bag inflation.”
NHTSA complaint #11052211, filed 2017-12, 51,000 miles“Takata recall airbags failed when I was doing 5 MPH and was side swiped. The fire dept had to cut me out of the vehicle. I needed staples in my head and was unconscious because the other driver was doing 20_30 MPH according to police report. Nissan refused to change me into a new vehicle despite my disabled status and fear of driving it. I called twice and went by dealer who agreed the should have worked.”
NHTSA complaint #10924862, filed 2016-11, 10,000 miles“Over the last 6 months the front passenger air bag light will come on occasionally indicating the air bag is not working even though there is an adult in the seat that weighs over 140 pounds. Once we drove it that way to the Nissan dealer where the service manager saw the light on but said they had no way to fix it. We have no idea if the airbag would work if in an accident. The latest incident was july 17, 2015.”
