This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I faced a rare (I don't know I am thinking it as rare) problem with Nissan Maxima. When I was driving the vehicle in drive mode my friend, sitting in the other seat, accidentally changed the gear to reverse mode then the strange thing happened, the car steering got locked and the car got decelerated very fast (as I was applying a brake) and even though I changed the gear into drive mode the car wont pick acceleration and behaved as it is in the neutral gear. So, the car stopped in the middle of the interstate on the left lane and we almost got killed by the on coming traffic. Since the steering wheel is not moving we are not able to move the car to the shoulder. What we did is we stopped (turn off) the vehicle on the interstate and changed the gear into parking and started it again, after "few seconds" the car finally moved. I am so scared by the event and I wanted to report to some one and I thought may be NHTSA is the best bet. Please tell me whether it will be the same to any car or will that be only on Nissan Maxima.
