Example complaints

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

“I have been complaining to bankston Nissan of irving about the passenger side front seat shaking badly when driven. There first answer on 5/29/02 was there is nothing we can do. The next time I complained the answer was there might be something wrong with the tires or they might be of balance. The last time I took it to them they told me that all Xterra seats shake like that. I took it to urban Nissan for a second opinion they told me within 1 hour that the seat back needs to be replaced. …”
