Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Nissan uses faulty equipment in their vehicles and ashly at their consumer affairs dept actually told me that Nissan only expects their vehicles to last the 3 yrs or 36k miles!! Since I purchased this vehicle I have had the A/C compressor replaces, all heater hosses replaced, oil leaks, coolant leaks, drive belts replaced and the alternator replaced. My car literally broke down in my driveway. I was returning from vacation with my son, my dog and my cat-if my trip would have 15 mins. Longer I would have broke down on the side of the road. …”
