Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1. From the beginning, wind noise was noticeable. Management from dealership checked vehicle and said noise was from design of side mirrors. I called Nissan and they said there were no bulletins at time and until there were they could do nothing. 2. Windshield has waviness across entire lower section of glass. This is noticeable where glass and cowling adjoin. New windshield was order from Nissan and installed. Same issue with replacement glass. My wife is 4'9 and finds this to be distracting. 3. Heat shield over muffler came loose and vibrating. Poor quality. …”
NHTSA complaint #10691707, filed 2015-03, 100 miles“They window shades in the front are tiny. They do not keep out the sun. They let all the sun enter the car so that you cannot see when driving. They went cheap on the window shades in the front. They don't protect the driver. They are tiny tiny tiny and I guess cost 25 cents to make. This is a cheap car, but safety things must be fair for the drivers protection.”
NHTSA complaint #10918828, filed 2016-10, 100 miles“my air conditioning is not working. i believe wires in my care are covered with soy which is an attractant to mice and rats and causes them to climb into my car and eat the wires, causing the car to malfunction. we need to outlaw and ban the use of soy feedstuffs on car wires, this is just ridiculous for allowing this to happen, to make cars a magnet for mice and rats.”
