What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
While driving approximately 70 mph with the cruise control activated, there was a sudden loss of power steering, the steering wheel was loosely detached without warning and the vehicle veered to the right. The contact was not able to straighten the steering wheel and crashed into a ditch and a field.
Vehicle hood released due to bad release design and possible defect causing major damages. The hood release and gas release are next to each other like in the 2013 altima and the safety catch sticks overtime leaving an unsafe condition.
While driving at any speed, the engine failed without warning and the vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump fuse was blown. The fuse was replaced; however, the issue recurred numerous times.
When the vehicle was parked and the contact attempted to turn the steering wheel left or right, a thumping noise was heard from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.
The tires on this vehicle wear extremely prematurely which causes the vehicle to swerve and steer very badly.the tires will make a roaring, bumping, and a wha wha wha sound I do not feel safe in this vehicle. The tires wear so very quickly, within 3-4 months.
I was driving in yorktown, [ZIP] and as I was making a right turn at the corner of hallocks mill rd. On to route 202, my nissan nv200 van just stopped. There was no warning, no flashing lights, no sound, nothing to indicate there was a problem with the vehicle.
The tires are vibrating and making noise. Nissan says the axle is n spec". I have pictures showing how bad they are leaning in. You don't need any machine to see they are way off. These are jk tyes. You don't show them as a brand.
One tire almost blew out because it had worn down to the cords because of the defective nature of these tires.
