“Since I purchased my car new in 2016, I would notice while driving our city roads that my hood would shake like it wasn't secure. I had my husband check it to make sure it was secure and it was. On july 5th, 2018 we traveled from tucson, az to ely, nevada. I was scared to death every time a oncoming vehicle would pass us because it looked as if my hood was going to rip right off. Several people have noticed this and were scared. …”
NHTSA complaint #11122992, filed 2018-08, 19,000 miles“On 2/7/16, I was pulling into my parking space at work. My foot was on the brake as I was coming to a stop in my space. All of a sudden, the engine revved loudly, and the car lunged forward, jumped the curb and slammed into the office building!!!! I had no control even though my foot was pushing on the brake as hard as I could. My 5 year old daughter was in the car with me, and to think of what could have happened petrifies me. This malfunction has to be investigated and resolved. …”
NHTSA complaint #10950237, filed 2017-02, 5,200 miles“Last year I was rearended while waiting to make a left hand turn and my airbag didn't deploy. The impact of the accident was hard enough that my l-5 vertebrae was broken and displaced a centimeter away from severing my spinal cord. It didn't occur to me until my deposition and the lawyers were asking me why the airbag didn't deploy that there could be a problem. I was sitting stationary on hwy 80 e in statesboro georgia waiting to make a left turn into babcock and more home furnishings when I was struck from behind. …”
NHTSA complaint #11162854, filed 2018-12, 14,000 miles“When driving the posted speed limits on expressway the hood flutters up and down. It looks like it is not securely latched on. I pulled over multiple times to check if hood was securely latched and it 'was definitely loose. I took into Nissan for servicing and they said it was in the specified parameter- they told me to call their customer care line to see if something could be done. I drove below the posted limit for fear that the hood would fly back and hit the windscreen. The hood seems fllimisily manufactured and could be of sturdier quality.”
NHTSA complaint #11082539, filed 2018-04, 16,500 miles“Car feels like someone is pushing gas pedal an letting go during slow 30 MPH. Dealer said normal.
