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.
At intermittent times while driving the vehicle will not accelerate when you push on the gas, this is very dangerous not only to me but to other people because it has almost caused accidents. When this occurs the traction control light will come on and remain lit until the car is restarted. Also the brake lights will stay light. It has been taken to the dealership where no codes could be found, on 05/02/2018 it was taken back to the dealership after many calls to Nissan motors about this problem they gave me a reference case # of 30341997 all this was given to the dealership to try to find the problem a second time after they were contacted by Nissan and myself. After 7 hours of having my car for diagnostics I was told it appears to be a factory defect that needs 3 parts ordered to do a work around. Two new wiring harnesses and a switch that will allow them to bypass brake switch relay and reroute to body control module, I was told this would cost and additional $500 plus on top of the $121.62 I already paid for the diagnostics I do not think a consumer should have to pay for a factory defect firstly, then how is this work around going to affect the safety of my vehicle for myself and others" also Nissan must be well aware of this problem for them to already have manufactured these parts to do a work around to correct it. Are they trying to risk people lives to save a dollar" so in summery I have an acceleration problem that is going to get someone killed traction control issue that I have no idea if it is working correctly or not or if it is going to be disabled. Brake lights that stay on when driving when this happens that other drivers can't tell if I am applying the brakes or not. Don't like the idea of having such a new model car have a safety issue workaround done on it that it was not designed for.
Hello, last night I had to help my sister with her Nissan Altima 2013 because when she shifts her car from park to reverse or drive the Altima stalls and will not drive. When I popped the hood I noticed that her battery was in very bad shape. It was heavily corroded. I cleaned it and tried, but the same symptoms happened. The Altima would stall. We ended up replacing the battery. That was her third battery to be replaced. Why is that" her Altima is only 75K miles. This morning I decided to check our 2015 Pathfinder to find the same symptoms. My battery was corroding. I decided to clean the battery and add a battery grease to mitigate corrosion in the future. I checked the internet blog regarding this issues and its evident that Nissan has issues with their car batteries corroding. Can Nissan explain what is going on with this corroding batteries? what can Nissan do to take care of Nissan owners" please advise. Thank you,
Vehicle start button is in a unsafe location. Knee keeps hitting while driving and car turns off. It needs a cover or smarter switch so that a accidental touch cant shut the car off while driving. It's a severe hazard!!!!!!
