NHTSA complaint #10808450, filed 2015-12, 300 miles“Premature rust showing on trunk lid. Taken to three different certified Nissan dealers who have stated the rust isn't big enough to place an adult fist through and would not be covered under their corrosion warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #11195950, filed 2019-04, 49,789 miles“The paint on the roof of the car has started chipping and peeling for no reason. There has been no damage to the car whatsoever. The paint just one day started peeling and chipping.”
NHTSA complaint #11403241, filed 2021-03, 56,422 miles“2015 Sentra has a wind noise that is related to interstate speeds and high cross winds. The least the noise will do is sound out in beeps and buzzes louder than polite conversation. At worst it can come as a full on blast of noise like a truck horn or someone suddenly yelling into your right ear while your concentrating on the rush hour traffic and the ever changing situation. No driver should have to put up this level of distraction while driving. My wife has been driving the washington dc metro area roads and beltway for over 40 years. She has never had an at fault accident. …”
