Example complaints

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

“The CVT transmission failed at 113,000 miles while we were driving on the freeway which resulted in us almost getting into multiple accidents. We had gotten the engine serviced every 3,000 miles for the past five years so the failure was not due to neglect.”

NHTSA complaint #11220194, filed 2019-06, 113,000 miles

“In the last 30 days I have made the exact same 5 hour round trip drive three times. On two of these trips, I experienced sudden loss of acceleration after approximately 3-1/2 hours of driving (both instances started within 5 miles of the other). Though both occurred without any sign of a mechanical problem and continued until car had been stopped and shut off for 30 minutes or more, today's event nearly caused loss of life! …”

NHTSA complaint #10985025, filed 2017-05, 75,100 miles

“Many times while driving on a highway, usually going uphill, I have troubles with the vehicle's acceleration. The car starts to make a funny sound, as if it's trying to accelerate, but is unable to. I've had to pull over because the car will slow down and will not go past like 40 miles per hour, even if I'm stepping on the gas. It's very dangerous because I'm typically not in the slow lane, so I start to impede traffic when this happens, and cars get really close to hitting me.”

NHTSA complaint #11100443, filed 2018-06, 50,000 miles

NHTSA complaint #10873584, filed 2016-06, 74,000 miles

“My Nissan Rogue 2012 began to make some noise and can't accelerate. I call Nissan dealer and tow the car to them. They said that the problem is the fuel injectors. The car still at dealer for repair. This can cause an accident, due to the fact that the car stopped suddenly.”
