Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While my daughter was pulling out of a parking lot onto the street, the steering suddenly locked. This has happened a few times before. The car had stalling issues and would occur when the car stalled, but this time and several other times the car did not stall. This is very dangerous and I have seen many of the same complaints online friom other drivers. I can't believe no action has been taken on this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11366173, filed 2020-10, 135,000 miles“Due to rust corrosion on the underneath frame and carriage of this vehicle, the control arm on both sides has snapped out of place. This has affected my steering capabilities. It also almost caused a serious accident on the highway. I am lucky to be alive. The vehicle is with my mechanic and I will include as many pictures as I can. The recall states that the undercarriage of the vehicle may have unnecessary rust and unfortunately my pin number has been involved. The rust corrosion is so severe that the frame is literally rotting completely out. …”
NHTSA complaint #11350502, filed 2020-08, 143,000 miles“When I turned on my airbag sensor light lit up and would not go out I brought the car to the dealer and the dealer told me the airbag had to be replaced dealer charge me $894 to install the airbag”
NHTSA complaint #10937313, filed 2016-12, 61,220 miles“On or about march 26th 2009 I reported a complaint to the local Nissan service department about a clunking and knocking noise in the front end of the car and felt in the steering wheel, the vehicle had less than 32,000 miles at the time. This was not my first attempt to get this issue looked at, but it was the first time they acknowledged a problem. After at least 6 trips to the service department for repair attempts, struts, strut mounts, strut bearings on the left and right side, the problem would not go away. …”
NHTSA complaint #10281666, filed 2009-08, 32,000 miles“My vehicle has been in the shop repeatedly for the front end popping when turning right. The right strut and bushing, rack and pinion, and sway bar has been replaced. This vehicle still has a quick pop which can be felt in the steering wheel when initially turning right. I fear something may fail when driving and loss of control may occur. This has been an ongoing problem that even Nissan cannot seem to fix. I have complained to Nissan about this issue and as you can see they have replaced numerous parts. I don't know what else to do.”
