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.
Failure of multiple systems upon impact with a pothole causing the vehicle to light up brake warning light, traction control system warning light, and spin out with no steering capability, resulting in a total loss of the car, including the rear passenger tire and wheel to sheer off, snapped the tie rod, ripped off the rear bumper, and bent the vehicle rims. I suffered a closed head injury and whiplash, as well as soft tissue damage to right shoulder and knee. Airbags did deploy.
Purchased in 2015 & driven less than 50,000 miles when a popping noise started during braking or traveling over bumps. Mechanic diagnosed & replaced the right lower control arm. Part should not have failed under low mileage conditions.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated while the vehicle was being inspected by an independent mechanic, she was informed the vehicle was pulling to the left and the transmission fluid needed to be replaced. The contact was informed to contact the Toyota dealer where she bought the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle back to the Toyota dealer, to have the maintenance work completed and had an alignment performed on the vehicle. The Toyota dealer referred her to the Nissan dealer for the transmission service. The contact took the vehicle to Lokey Nissan (27758 US Hwy 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33761: (727) 789-8100) and was informed that the front suspension and control arm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 02V146000 (Suspension) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 111,646. Vehicle has not been repaired. Consumer reviewed the forms and all seem correct except for the las part where it said Applicable Incident Information. Consumer did not report a crash or a fire.
I have had to replace both control arms, rebuild a transmission that went out, my entire ac just went out, I am constantly replacing brakes and disk, ball joints and shocks. I have spent over what I am still paying for this car and have only had it for about 5 years and still owe $18000 and paying everything out of pocket.
Brand new lease, had vehicle 2 days. Driving home from work, thank god there was slight traffic congestion. Out of nowhere the car started to pull to the left, I could not gain control of vehicle. The car suddenly stopped harsh, as if I were stuck on something. Cars behind me has to slam breaks and swerve out of way. When tow truck came they said stabilizer bar was broken and this could have been a fatal accident had I been going faster. After many complaints and conversations Nissan is forcing me to take the "repaired" car. I do not feel safe and should not have to take a car that was broken straight from the factory.
