Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There are serious design flaws on the 2018 Nissan Versa that allow water (I.e rain) to collect below the windshield and when the collected water doesn't drain it floods the car on the front passenger side. There is a water gutter under the windshield wipers that runs from each side of the car. It has two very small drains on each side. The drains get plugged by dust, dirt, etc. Normal stuff that can get on the car, and the water collects and builds up in the gutter. …”
NHTSA complaint #11331120, filed 2020-06, 36,607 miles“I was hit from the side. The collision was pretty bad, my car was totaled. It was the the front of the passengers seat. At the speed the crash happened, the force with which I was hit and the damage to the car I was unpleasantly surprised that the airbags did not deploy, they could have prevented injury. My car was in forward motion on a highway, I was hit by a turning car.”
