“We were driving smoothly on a 5n freeway and the car suddenly jolted and stopped at exactly 48k miles, no sensors were lighting up.I have to hazard light in the middle of the freeway turn off the engine and turn it on, same jolting movement but luckily I was able to steer it safe at roadside and ask for towing.”

NHTSA complaint #11344136, filed 2020-08

“The heat in my vehicle only works on the passenger side. It does not blow out warm or hot on the driver's side. This is due to a stripped actuator in the blend door. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. I live in Colorado where it gets very cold. Because the heat doesn't work on the driver's side, the windshield doesn't defrost well. This is a hazard because I cannot see through my windshield when I'm driving and it's cold out. Yes, this problem was inspected and confirmed by a local Nissan Dealer in Lakewood, Colorado. There are no warning messages. …”
