Example complaints

“Windshield washer motor stopped working. Now when the road conditions are bad the visibility is drastically lowered. The more I research this problem and the one with the air conditioner not shutting off the more I notice that these are wide spread and very common issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11171190, filed 2019-01, 80,000 miles“Overhead console plastic becomes too brittle to support weight of console causing mount points to break allowing console to swing down. My console nearly hit me in side of the head. This cause view to be obstructed and could easily hit driver. Upon researching this for repair I found many other having the same issue. My guess is an inferior batch of plastic in the 08 lineup.”
NHTSA complaint #10672935, filed 2015-01, 35,000 miles“I was driving on a rough stretch of I-55 south. I then noticed the overhead console slowly separating from the front. Then all of a sudden it started falling. I couldn't pull over at the time this was happening. I also couldn't see anything from the rearview mirror. By the time I was able to exit, the console had broken up to the last compartment. I pulled into a parking lot so that I could try to disconnect the wires. I still had 40 plus miles to drive to get home. I was able to disconnect the wires and put the broken console on the seat. I called a local Nissan dealer once I got home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10475335, filed 2012-09, 61,040 miles“The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the heat in his vehicle will not keep the windows defrosted in the winter. The windows remained fogged and icy in temperatures below 30 degrees, even though the defroster was at its maximum setting. The contact stated that it is a safety hazard because he cannot see out of the windows while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least three times, but they have not found a solution to defrost the windows. The failure mileage was 3,900. Updated 5/6/09 updated 05/08/09.”
