Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “Driving our van out of town, we started having problems with the transmission 2 hours into our drive. We have never had problems out of the transmission. When we accelerate from a stop it would give a shutter and sometimes a pop. It was very dangerous turning into the traffic as it was shuttering you loose power and could get hit. When we stopped at a store where i could check things out at turning the van off. When we started the vehicle it would not go into forward or reverse. We had it towed and had to pay over $4500 to replace the transmission with a new one. …”
NHTSA complaint #11576410, filed 2024-03Air bags: “Air bag light went off beginning of Nov 2023. Took to the dealership, they diagnosed the air bag module and harness as bad. Paid $2k to replace that, took 2 days for part to arrive. Fast forward, mid December 2023, air bag light on again. Take back to dealership and now the passenger side air bag has failed and needs to be replaced. $3k estimated to replace. Many Nissan vehicles (much later year models) have passenger side air bag recalls. This should be under recall as well as the module.”
NHTSA complaint #11563349, filed 2024-01Seat belts: “The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that all the windows inadvertently failed to operate as needed. The contact also stated that she attempted to operate the HVAC system and noticed an abnormal odor. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the air filters were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact was concerned of the lack of ventilation. Additionally, the contact stated that the rear center captains seat belt failed to operate as designed. No warning light was illuminated. …”
