Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Prior to being apart of the takata inflator recall, I did not realize that citizens could report erroneous and dangerous part failures in their automobiles prior to a dangerous incident. Having gone through the takata recall, I am now a more aware consumer and want to report an incident involving failing door assemblies on Nissan Versa hatchback's. The right front door lock actuator failed on my 2010 Nissan Versa hatchback several years after ownership. It is unclear if this happened during or after driving, but it was discovered when the car was stationary. …”
NHTSA complaint #11164012, filed 2018-12, 77,283 miles“I opened my drivers door, the handle came completely off. The drivers door will not open from inside either. It sounds like it still works but nothing happens when you try to open it from the inside. The key will not open it, no outside door handle, possible interior plastic\electrical components broken. Vehicle still runs and drives fine. Powertrain is intact. Interior is falling apart due to cheap construction. Looked online to the Nissan forum board and saw many other people with same problem with door handles breaking for no apparent reason. …”

NHTSA complaint #10653657, filed 2014-11, 4,553 miles“The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) light refuses to go off. The tire pressure is correct per manufacturer's specifications and it has been checked monthly. When the outdoor temperature reaches 80 degrees f., the light shuts off. Living in new england, the light is on most of the time. Ironically, 3 months into car ownership, we had a flat tire and the light did not come on. The car currently has 14,500 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10432662, filed 2011-10, 6,500 miles“There are two issues involved. Engine stalling and trouble starting. The engine stalled at low speed on multiple occasions. There were no indicators, the engine just cut out in the middle of driving. When traveling at higher speed, engine would stutter (dash indicators would quickly come on and then disappear.) the other issue is trouble starting. Sometimes when ignition switch is turned, it would not do anything. When it happens the only thing noticeable is the gear indicator shows blank (normally show 'p' for park). …”
