Example complaints

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

“I purchased this vehicle used with just over 49,000 miles on it. I have had it for less than a month. I discovered that the right rear brake line has been run incorrectly during assembly. The mounting plate and bolt, where it is supposed to attach are both present. The brake line was run under a frame bolt instead of above the bolt. The brake line is rubbing on the bolt frame. The chaffing has rubbed through the outer rubber coating. The website is not allowing me to upload video or photos. Please contact me and I can email the video and photos.”

“My brakes are not working properly. I first noticed my brake not responding correctly to the normal amount of pressure on 1/15/19. I would apply normal pressure and have no response, and have to press harder to get any kind of decline in speed. I took it to a local shop and they put on brakes, rotors, and flushed the brake system. A few weeks went by and the brakes were okay, but still not normal. On 2/1/19 the brakes would completely fail. I would press the brake and the brake would hit the floor with no backward pressure on my foot and no slowing of the car. …”

“Driving on hwy, went to make left at light, the wheels locked and the car slid into a guardrail damaging the entire front of vehicle. I want to know if there is some sort of factory defect with the braking or steering system and if so what is my recourse to have this car exchanged or repaired. I've had it for 3 months - don't believe anything should be locking on it. This is dangerous for me and any passengers I may have. I need to know about this brand new now damaged car of mine. Thank you.”

“On saturday, may 16th heading on the 91 east by bellflower, ca. Frwy I was driving and when a sudden stop I found it hard to make a stop because the brake felt as if it sunk in. I unfortunately hit a truck in front of me. The vehicle did not receive any damage but my Nissan 2013 Rogue did. I took pictures to show the damage. At the time of the accident, I was very concerned because the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle did receive a front impact but the air bags had no reaction to the hit. At the time of the accident I rode with my 3 children ages, 18, 15 and 11 and my fianc. …”
