Example complaints

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

“Vehicle will not get up to speed when driven for a 45 minute period of time and won't allow me to pick.up to state speed I noticed there's been complaints about this issue due to a low temperature governor on the vehicle and that makes it dangerous for the other people traveling due to that issue I was on the interstate 25 traveling south”

NHTSA complaint #11395899, filed 2021-02, 119,000 miles

“Vehicle will decelerate on the highway with gas pressed to the floor. Vehicle loses power and I have to pull over for the engine to cool off before proceeding. It happens on the highway. I took it to a Nissan dealership and they told me I needed to replace my transmission. I don't even have 100,000 miles on my car, transmission should not be failing.”

NHTSA complaint #11340772, filed 2020-07, 89,000 miles

“As I was driving home from work, my car lost acceleration. The vehicle will not speed up, even when I press the gas to the floor. The engine just revs up. I was going up a hill in a busy section of town and was almost in an accident as the person behind me did not realize I was unable to accelerate. Luckily I was able to pull to the side of the road.”

NHTSA complaint #11230647, filed 2019-07, 94,000 miles

“Anytime I drive more than 30 minutes my acceleration doesn't work. This is especially true if I stop at a stoplight and it takes a bit before my car will start driving again. It's only a matter of time before I get hit from behind because cars think I should be moving but my car is incapable of it. This happens every day.”

NHTSA complaint #11337344, filed 2020-07, 80,000 miles

“I was driving on the highway on a trip out of town when my car began decelerating and would not accelerate. I immediately took it to Nissan where they advised I needed a new transmission for $4200. My car only had $94,000 miles and I've never missed a service through Nissan. The experience was incredibly scary and has caused me anxiety.”
