Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving, car shifts into neutral on its own. It happened as I was driving on the highway at 75 mph and out of nowhere i realized my car was in neutral causing me to redline and slowed down while trying to change lane and almost causing an accident. Thank god I was driving and was able to respond in time by shifting back into drive. Happened twice in one hour on a road trip”
NHTSA complaint #11584298, filed 2024-04“It is very difficult and sometimes impossible to shift it to the Neutral position even with your foot on the brakes. Sometimes you have to attempt it three or four times after it being in the drive position. You can move it forward strongly and softly it does not matter...this needs to be adjusted/corrected as sometimes we have to put it into neutral position and it will not work. I see this as a safety defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11542569, filed 2023-09“Rear view tilt down mirrors mirrors not working can not see to back up I have had the car to 5 dealers manufaturer has refused to look at it they keep saying everything is working correctly there were no warning signals the dealers all have said the mirrors are working properly. My problem is when the car goes into reverse you cann ot see because one mirror does not tip down so you can see the road.. I have owned 4 Nissan cars and all 4 cars the mirrors all tilted”
NHTSA complaint #11594520, filed 2024-06“Went out to my car and shut the door. Heard a cracking sound after I shut the door. Then the back window fell in. It completely shattered the back window from shut the driver side front door.”
