Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Interior power lock rocker switch fails to engage door locks on all four doors, and actually opens the door locks instead of closing them. As I have said on my previous complaint, if you want to stay alive, stay away from Nissan cars and trucks.”
NHTSA complaint #10093328, filed 2004-09, 10,500 miles“Passenger rear door actuators doesn't work and not able to open the door. The door has power lock/unlock systems. It is a 2004 Nissan Sentra 2.5s. It is high security issue. The passenger is stuck inside, in case of emergency the door can't opened. Because it is in the lock position at all the time.”
