Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The windshield has cracked in the lowest middle of glass underneath the leaf screen. I have contacted both the Nissan dealer and Nissan customer service and they both refused to correct the problem. Dealer has admitted that there are no signs of stone chip on the glass. When contacted Nissan, I was told they would not warrant their glass eventhough the vehicle is still under full warranty. I want to make sure that the glass does not break and cause an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #720441, filed 2000-03“When trying to unlock car from inside using power locks on both passenger side and or driver side , power locks would automaticlly re-lock doors making exiting van impossible. Also after heavy rain I would get in van and find carpet soaked in front passenger side. Also would get soaked if driving in rain. Passenger side door or window was not opened to let water or rain in.”
