Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1. Rattling noise. Front driver door rattle around the window switch area (happens in some temperature like early morning, late night time, and driving on rough road). Center dash near the ac vent and hazard light area (happens driving on rough road at night time when the car cools down). Front passenger door rattles happen driving on all rough road. I think I hear something from the sun roof too or maybe it’s coming from the passenger side. 2. Passenger door sound like there is something loose around the mirror area. Just Park the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11422053, filed 2021-06“When activating the right turn signal the windshield washers and wipers will turn on. Washers, wipers, and the turn signal all turn off when the turn signal is deactivated. This can cause some unexpected visibility issues while turning. Also, when turning the headlights from Auto to the Off position the windshield wipers will turn on. The wipers will stay on until you Switch back to Auto . These problems are repeatable. I plan to contact the Nissan Dealer to see how much a multifunction switch replacement would cost.”
