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 own a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder xe 4X4. I took the car for the safety inspection earlier today. It did not pass the safety requirement because the rust has compromised the frame and made the car unsafe to drive. Rust vulnerability is a wide spread problem with Nissan's SUVS. I love my Pathfinder and have invested a lot of money in this car and I'm very sad to see it go to the junk yard because the manufacturer used an inferior quality recycled metal in manufacturing the frame and other parts of the body. Over the years, I strugled with rust eating up parts of the body and finally even the frame got eaten by rust. Nissan should take responsibility and address the rust problems or nobody will buy a second Nissan ever!
Tire rack on rear of truck is placed on the sheet metal side panel. When you open the tire rack there is no stop. The rack crushes the rear quarter panel causing $600 in damage, which Nissan said they would stand behind.
