Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The 2nd row seats (captain chairs) are tilted upward at edge of seats and my infant carseat is not leveled as it should be. Due to the chairs seat being tilted upward causes child carseat level to be off and making carseat tilt forward causing babies head to go forward more than they should. Passenger seat is also very low causing concerns for airbag deployment and serious injury to face. Low viability in rear mirror due to large long headrests.”
NHTSA complaint #11450893, filed 2022-02, 6,000 miles“I own a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The front passenger seat is far too low. For me, at 6', it's feels ridiculous. However, for people at or under 5'2 , it is downright dangerous, resulting in striking heads on the dashboard. the NHTSA should look into this poorly designed front passenger seat issue before people get hurt. Thanks.”
NHTSA complaint #11526129, filed 2023-06“My Toddler was seated (in the car seat that was buckled into ) the second row bucket seat. While driving the vehicle we hit a bump in the road which then launched the back passenger seat up and forward pinning my child between the two seats. His face smashed into the front passenger seat headrest which caused forced injury to his head. The EZ seat button could not have been reached by my child due to them being in a car seat. This has been reported to the manufacture of Nissan. There are no warnings for this feature.”

NHTSA complaint #11628615, filed 2024-12“I own a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The front passenger seat is far too low. I am 6' it's feels extremely low and I feel I can hit my head on the dash. However, for people at or under 5'2 , it is downright dangerous, resulting in striking heads on the dashboard. the NHTSA needs to look into this poorly designed front passenger seat issue before people get hurt. The current controls do not adjust the seat to go up on the front passenger except for the front driver side. Nissan has not done this except for the 2023 models have the front passenger seat adjust. …”
