Example complaints

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

“Clock spring issues, as far as I know a clock spring should last as long as the life of the vehicle, unless there is an accident or something unavoidable. Due to this issue my horn stopped working; this happened while in motion. I hope Nissan takes responsibility and replaces my clock spring at no charge. Also, in less than a month two front signal bulbs had to be replaced (left and right.)”

“While traveling down the road entering the freeway the vehicles power steering stopped working rendering the vehicle no control. After nearly getting hit we were able to slow the vehicle down on the freeway and push it off of the road. The vehicle was not driveable and was towed to a dealership where it was learned that the power steering needed replaced for 1500.00 dollars out of the warranty.”

“Air bags are common problem. It can be googled. Ours stopped working. When braking the steering wheel shakes bad. Got fixed and came right back week later. Common problem. O2 sensor needed changed cause when slippery road indicator comes on car won't accelerate over 25 mph. Have to cut engine off wait for seconds and cut back on and its fine. Oil leak is where everyone online said there's is. There should be recall on these things it hurting environment n dangerous for drivers on the road.”
