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.
Since April 7, 2003, I have taken my car in for a noise in the drive system. It was supposedly fixed at that time however, I have since been back 6 additional times to fix the same problem but they created new problems. I called Nissan consumer they order that the car get a new tune up although I had one in November at no charge to me. I have had my fuel injection work done 3 times since November. The car is starting to act up again with the noise in the drive system and again acting like it wants to shut off. I have had it. Please send guidance as to what I could do to get rid of this lemon.
After engine is running for over 500 miles, (ie road trip)the van starts to buck and buck, engines hesitakes, no power is this a engine vapor lock problem. Dealer could find no problem with engine test machine.
Not a safety defect that I am complaining about, but a cosmetic I guess you would say. We purchased the minivan in Nov 99, by Aug of 2000 we noticed cracks on the roof - the paint of the vehicle's roof is now totally peeled off and rusty the hood is cracking too. Since Aug 2000 we have been trying to find out how to go about having the paint repaired. We have gotten the run around from then until now. The vehicle is now out of warranty range so that is now the reason Nissan claims that they cannot re-paint it. Several body shops have stated and written that the van does not have primer under the paint which is why it is peeling the way it is. It is certainly not fair to any consumer regardless of what the mileage on a vehicle is that a vehicle bought new and is less than 4 yrs old needs to be repainted because of a manufacturer's defect!
Service engine came on @37,000 mi., warranty expired at 36,000? dealer cannot solve the problem, I have returned to shop 3 times and now left the van at the shop to see if it can be repaired. I am without a vehicle and do not know if the van is safe or not to drive. Dealership does not tell me anything. I find it strange that this engine check soon" indicator came on 1,000 mi les after warranty expired. Dealership has replaced an oxygen sensor but problem continued. I am afraid to drive the van until this is resolved.
Consumer states when pressing the gas pedal there is a major delay in acceleration. Consumer states car will suddenly lurch forward. Nlm consumer also states brake pedal squeaks, the steering wheel whines and the front drink cup holder would not work.
