Example complaints

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

“Unknown at a stop, when the A/C kicks on, I hear a very audible rattling noise coming from somewhere between the engine and the transmission. Whenever I am starting off, for example, going down my street, I can hear a very audible, yet different, rattling noise coming from somewhere behind the glove box. I thought that noise was something I had in the glove box, but I already tried emptying all of the compartments and driving and it still made that noise, which tell me that it must be something just behind the glove box inside the dash. …”

“My transmission gave out. My car stopped in the middle of the street as I was crossing to the next intersection and would not go. I had to have my car pushed to the curve until tow truck came. The car was towed to the dealership (nissan of mobile) the dealer confirmed the transmission was bad. No lights or warning came on prior just stopped and would not go. This was a very scary situation and I'm still devastated.”

“Vehicle was shuddering or hiccuping accelerating and decelerating on its own without any warning lights turning on. Warning light (MIL) only came on after total failure and car would not move forward at all.without any control of acceleration I was forced to let the vehicle roll down the hill I was on to coast it into a parking lot to be off the road, while traffic was behind me causing a potentially dangerous situation as it was on a short street so line of cars driving the wrong direction with traffic entering behind going the appropriate direction.”

“Sway bar link broken, causing dangerous risk of steering failure. Rear hub bearing disintegrated, causing worn tires and high risk of wheel randomly separating from axel while driving! Wow! Car not old enough for such problems!”

NHTSA complaint #11476733, filed 2022-07

“Engine keeps losing oil level when no leaks found which causes transmission and engine to act making weird noises when gas pedal hit when driving car. Transmission is making weird noises like it is slipping when driving when gas pedal is pressed down. A settlement with Nissan was reached due to a class action lawsuit as car is having the issue as car pass 120000 mileage limit when issue started. Volume on internal bluetooth speaker is too low for people to hear when on phone calls with cell phone paired to car thru bluetooth as issue on two different phone models.”
