Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Starting around 26,000 miles, this new to us SUV started to glitch in the electronics. The air will turn hot, the radio will turn off, then the air bag lights flicker, then it states that the vehicle is overheating(every physical examination indicates it is not). You can turn the vehicle off and one time it won't glitch and the next time it will. If you leave the vehicle running for too long, it behins to glitch more and more. To the point where if we were to drive a long distance I am afraid it could turn the vehicle off while driving. We are trying to get a service center to duplicate. …”

“IN THIS Report: On my vehicle, the cooling fan assembly completely went out without warning, and when i seen the temp gauge starting to climb to the hot, i immediately shut the engine off. Bobb's Automotive checked it out and stated that the cooling fan faulted out. This auto repair shop also stated that the actual whole system faulted out on over 150+ other vehicles acrossed the country. And with this being said: Nissan is AWARE OF THE FAULTY SYSTEMS. they are in the process of Totally Redesigning of the Cooling Fan System. …”

“My Rogue Sport has less than 35k mileage. While I was driving yesterday my radio sputtered then the whole screen (radio, backup camera, clock) went completely dark and a large amount of smoke came from in the cabin of the vehicle and the smell of electrical burning. I immediately pulled over thinking the whole car was going to catch on fire, turned the radio to the off position and rolled down the windows. I waited approximately 5 minutes and thought if it was going to catch fire it would have done so. The smoke took a long time to dissipate and the smell of electrical is still in my car. …”
