Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the freeway the accelerator would suddenly not respond becoming a life hazard to my family and myself and also other drivers behind my vehicle; the cruise control also stop operating when this occurs. Also the brake light would illuminate without the brake pedal being depressed and with the car being off.”
NHTSA complaint #11181152, filed 2019-02, 54,306 miles“Our Nissan Pathfinder is giving us inaccurate fuel gauge reading when the fuel in the tank is at 1/4 or below. It can show us that we have 120 miles to empty tank and 5 minutes later that we have 20 miles to empty, then it could stay at 20 miles for more than 50-60 miles driven. This causes road hazard since we can't tell exactly how much fuel we have in the tank and we always have to keep it above 1/2 of the tank to avoid issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11193817, filed 2019-04, 58,000 miles“I have noticed this for awhile, but it has gotten worse. I am now at 6800 miles, and when I pulled into my driveway last night, my gas gauge read that I had 86 miles to empty. This morning, taking my kids to school, I all of a sudden had 56 miles to empty. When I got to the stop light not even a mile away with the school to my left, my low fuel light came on, and by the time I turned into the parking lot, 2 minutes later, my electronic gauge was blinking at me and the actual gas gauge was at 0. …”
NHTSA complaint #11097580, filed 2018-05, 66,000 miles“I purchased a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder as used vehicle in september 2015. Since purchasing the vehicle my wife has complained about the vehicle shuddering at low speed or when turning. This shuddering has become more frequent and now happens when the vehicle is cruising down the road. We have also noticed that the passenger airbag will show that there is no body in the seat even when there is someone sitting in the seat. The first time we took the vehicle back to the dealership the mechanic was not able to experience the issues that we had communicated to them ad dismissed our claims. …”
NHTSA complaint #10872693, filed 2016-06, 37,750 miles“I bought my car new 11.23.13. On 10.06.14, I was driving on the freeway at about 70, my car stopped accelerating. I would try to push the gas pedal & nothing would happen. It would punch in & out & finally catch. About 20 min later, my car stopped accelerating & would punch in & out constantly & I would slow to about 50 MPH where cars behind me are swerving not realizing I am slowing down so fast. I couldn't get it to accelerate & tried to get over onto the shoulder. It never accelerated again. I got a tow to the dealership & they figured it was my transmission. …”
