Example complaints

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

“The design of the windshield to the doors is hazardous as it limits visibility. Also the back is limited as well. I was broadsided or sideswiped and it was not my fault yet the way they wrote the report put me at fault.”

NHTSA complaint #11172264, filed 2019-01, 50,000 miles

“Parked my car, as I was walking around to the passenger side heard a click noise and my windshield cracked. Nothing hit my windshield, it just cracked. The crack is located on the passenger side from the lower corner and goes up all the way to the center of the windshield.”

NHTSA complaint #10745563, filed 2015-08, 10,353 miles

“While using the air conditioning compressor (A/C, defroster) the car while at a stop, or while driving at slow speeds under 10 m.p.h. Will cause the car to surge forward unexpectedly. I can have my foot firmly pressing the brake pedal down, and can feel the vehicle struggling to move forward against me. Anyone with size 10 shoe and above (men) foot becomes trapped in accelerator area. Cruise control constantly fails to hold proper speeds, and varies from 10 MPH + or - above intended speed while on a flat non incline surface.”

NHTSA complaint #10629161, filed 2014-08, 20,000 miles

“This was just a rental vehicle, but this problem was serious enough that I feel it necessary to report. There is a recessed well above the accelerator that traps your foot. Several times while driving this vehicle, I would attempt to pivot my foot on its heel off the accelerator over to the brake, only to find my foot trapped in the recessed space above the accelerator. I would then have to relax my foot and pull it back in order to release my foot and move over to the brake. This delayed braking time several times unless I was consciously paying attention to avoid getting my foot trapped. …”

NHTSA complaint #10573057, filed 2014-03, 400 miles

“2014 Versa Note sv bought new, found rust on the 3rd day of purchase in 12+ areas underneath including sub-frame and various components. Complained and requested replacement with a rust free car. Nissan won't replace or refund despite extensive correspondence, emails, phone calls, visits to the dealer, furnishing date stamped pictures of rust areas. Nissan is dragging its feet with feeble excuses - ' no excessive rust found' rust is not affecting safety of the car' 'rust not affecting performance of the car' - which is why they will not replace it. …”
