Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Our AC quit working and we were informed that the AC lines had holes in them due to corrosion. This is absurd for a vehicle only three years old. Repair estimate is $1700 due to the fact that they have to drop the subframe in order to access the corroded lines. Clearly this is a vehicle defect and Nissan should take responsiblity for the substandard material used in these lines. We appear to be the second consumer reporting this issue on this site.”
