Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On 22 june 2006, I noticed water coming between the headliner and rear window just right of the center electric window. Water had been dripping onto the window ledge below the leak for sometime due to the concentration of water spots. The local dealer identified the location of the leak (with pictures) and had the window pulled and resealed by a local speedy auto glass. Upon receipt of the vehicle, I was given instruction not to close the doors to hard and to wait at lest 48 hours before washing. …”

NHTSA complaint #10162044, filed 2006-07, 4,120 miles

“The rear drivers side shackle blew apart resulting in the spring almost breaking though the bed metal. Had this happened at higher speed on a curve I feel the outcome would have been much more negative. I take exceptional care of my truck and do not exceed recommended loads or towing limits. I've owned seven different trucks in my lifetime and have never had any incident like this happen. I think Nissan needs to take a good, hard look at the type of materials and design involved in this bracket, as it should never have broken on a 3 year old truck, driven on-road with 58,000 miles on it. …”

“While driving, heard a bang, did not notice any damage at first. Later once the truck was parked at home seen the driver side rear leaf spring was pushed through the bed of the truck. (have pictures, if needed) the part pushed through the metal of the bed as well as the spray on bed liner. Took truck to the local garage, was afraid to drive any further than just a couple miles. The mechanic stated that he could not believe that this happened given the year of the truck. …”

NHTSA complaint #10409774, filed 2011-06, 108,000 miles

“Traveling 20 to 25 MPH, up a hill, in 4 wheel drive road conditions when there was a loud bang . The rear of the vehicle immediately shifted to the right, striking a tree. Never would you expect a vehicle to brake in such a way as to throw you into oncoming traffic. I believe that this defect should be immediately investigated and a recall issued. Dealer service department determined that the front differential and transfer case had to be replaced due to catastrophic failure. The front axle had backed out resulting in fluid leaking out. …”
