“Vehicle was in motion, on a country rd. There was a smell, almost like if windshield washer fluid spills, then smoke from under the hood. Then flames on the right front, under the hood. I pulled over, turned the car off, grabbed my purse and ran. 2 good samaritans pulled over and just happened to have a fire extinguisher and were able to put it out. The whole right headlight was melted away.”
NHTSA complaint #11307091, filed 2020-02, 114,000 miles“I was driving on a highway and noticed heavy smoke coming from the front passenger side by the headlights. I pulled over and fire started shooting up. I was told 'it's electrical and nothing to do with the front end that was being worked on' which was 4 days prior. Also I was told there's no recall on that particular area.”
NHTSA complaint #11085179, filed 2018-04, 120,500 miles“When I apply the brakes, the car sometimes just shuts down completely and turns off. I have been able to then put the car in park, and restart it. It has happened when I have slowed the car down to go over speed bumps, when I stopped at a stop sign or red light. It also happened on a highway on-ramp. Nissan has not been able to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10929468, filed 2016-12, 37,000 miles“As I was driving my car I see smoke entering from the dashboard, I knew than that my car will burst on fire. I parked on an empty parking right away and got out from the car and run as fast as I can. The car quickly caught on fire from the hood and by the time the fire fighters showed up the car was half way burned.”
NHTSA complaint #10871981, filed 2016-06, 89,000 miles“I took the car to the dealership I purchased the car from because there were winning noises coming from the left side in the engine/transmission compartment. In addition to cut and unsealed wires under the dash and in the fuse box, as well as a stuck caliper (that they replaced for my convenience according to the service manager). The car has been in the dealer for a total of 2 weeks in the 1 month I have own the car and they have only fixed the caliper. …”
