Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dashboard light shows air bag issue. Harnass was replaced twice under warranty, they now want $800. To fix. As its been a safety issue and fixed twice I don't think I should have to pay for this.”
NHTSA complaint #11228289, filed 2019-06, 100,000 miles“I have a Nissan north america recall letter addressed to me for recal 06v-459, which is a airbag light and wiring harness recall on my drivers side. I was charged full price for the recall repair at riverhead nisaan in new york and later found my recall notice and have contacted the dealership and Nissan north america and no quality assistance. My recall letter says I am eligible for reimbursements and to contact the national highway traffic and safety administration. I am doing so because Nissan is not helping me. Riverhead Nissan has my repair in their system. …”
NHTSA complaint #11394849, filed 2021-02, 100 miles“My husband was in an accident and the airbags on our 2005 Nissan Titan () did not deploy in spite on the whole front of the truck being smashed in. I have contacted Nissan several times and they will not call me back.”
NHTSA complaint #10257243, filed 2009-02, 74,000 miles“I own a 2005 Nissan Titan king cab, which I purchased it in november of 2005. After, approximately 30days of ownership and 500 miles of travel; the front brakes began to experience complications (they would shudder while braking and create an unreasonable amount of brake dust.) I quickly return to my local dealership where I purchased it, for servicing. The Nissan dealership repaired the rotors. During the summer of 2006, I began to notice a musty odor emitting from the floor and carpeting of the passenger side. …”
NHTSA complaint #10284683, filed 2009-09, 1,200 miles“My 125 lb wife does not activate the seat sensor for the airbag in my 05 Nissan Titan. While it doesn't happen 100% of the time, it has occurred repeatedly. The dealer checked & confirmed that the system is operating normally and stated that they could do nothing more. At this point my wife is riding in our truck without an airbag. While she does wear a seat belt, I would like to have the comfort of knowing the full safety system is operational in the event of an accident. Research and other complaints posted here show that this is not an isolated problem.”
