Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At 60,000 miles I noticed it started smoking when you would start it up and then I noticed it started using a lot of oil so I took it to the dealership and they would only want me to bring it back to them every couple of days to see how much oil it was using after that they did not want to mess with it. I really think the 2011 model Nissan are lemons.”
