Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“A fire, seeming to start under the dash, spontaneously erupted and destroyed the entire vehicle and some very expensive property in the bed. The truck was setting still at the time. My understanding is that this is not an isolated case. I have never installed any after market equipment on the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10862177, filed 2016-04, 95,000 miles“Flange connecting tailpipe to muffler rusted through. Remaining exhaust system in pristine condition and without any type of rust. This disconnect between muffler and tailpipe allowed hot exhaust to melt wiring harness that runs along the entire length of the exhaust system. This damage to the wiring harness resulted in loss to ABS, ECM, traction control, fuel pump, fuel pump temp sensor, evap pressure sensor, evap vent control valve, rr ABS wheel speed sensor and fuel level sensor.”
NHTSA complaint #10485804, filed 2012-11, 40,978 miles“As I backed into a parking spot I proceeded to try to switch from drive to reverse to straighten out and the lever went floppy. I am stuck in drive with the emergency brakes engaged. The wires under the column shifter wore at just the right time to what appears would be the clock spring!!”
NHTSA complaint #11578137, filed 2024-03“My fuel gauge on my truck does not work properly. When my gauge shows a quarter tank full its completely empty. The reason i know it doesn't is because it died on me in the middle of an intersection and blocked traffic. The gauge still showed a quarter tank of gas. I had it towed to an auto repair shop and they ended up putting a few gallons of fuel in it and then it started. I do see that there is a recall for this exact issue ( campaign # R1010 and NHTSA # 10v-074 )and i would like to have it repaired before any serious accident happens.”
NHTSA complaint #11563271, filed 2024-01“The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, the service light and slip light illuminated then the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the technician stated that the throttle actuator and ECM needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 77,250.”
