NHTSA complaint #10159692, filed 2006-06, 155,000 miles“Weird electrical problems,I have taken to 2 different people, 1 of which specializes in transmissions, the problem is that when the vehicle is warmed up the transmission doesn't know what gear it is in, on initial investigation the problem appears to be the trottle position sensor but that was replaced and still no fix. They hooked up computers to the car while driving and say the computer doesn't read the tps being operative during driving but no problems can be found with the wiring and computer board. …”
NHTSA complaint #10070045, filed 2004-01, 53,706 miles“The problem with the seat belts on my Nissan van is if you pull the seat belt most of the way out when putting it on then move forward it will lock up and only tighten never relaxing in order to lean forward. The only solution is to remove the seat belt and refasten. This is not a good idea while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #738753, filed 2001-01“Seat belts for front passenger and first row bench seat outboard passenger will not release and keep getting tighter around passengers. Have tried to release belt and buckle again with same result.”
