Nissan Complaints

2023 Nissan PATHFINDER
  • Date of Incident: Mar-21, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-26, 2024
  • Failed components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

When we purchased this vehicle in june 2023, one of the first things i noticed, was an unusual switch on the steering wheel to allow, selecting and viewing all of the vehicle display information. This switch is located on the left side of the steering wheel. It is labeled ok meaning ok to display the selected menu item when you depress the ok button. The switch consists of a thumb wheel to go up or down on the menu selection, and then you depress the thumb wheel to engage the item selected. We’ve had the vehicle nine months and we were driving and my wife attempted to select something by rotating the thumb wheel and pushing ok button. The ok button got stuck in the down position disabling the ok button and preventing her from changing anything on the vehicle info screen. We consider being unable to access vehicle information a safety issue. The switch was promptly replaced by nissan under warranty. I am an electronics person and i consider this particular style switch too delicate for long term use, a bad design and one that will probably continue to fail. The issue with this switch is the “thumb wheel selector” for menu items instead of an up or down button like on our other three vehicles that do the same functions on those vehicles. Nissan made a very bad choice on using this type of switch.

2014 Nissan JUKE
  • Date of Incident: Mar-06, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-26, 2024
  • Failed components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM and SEATS

A couple of weeks ago on my way home from school i could smell something burning. I stopped my car and started looking around to find that the front passengers seat was smoldering and burning a hole in my backpack, toque and the seat itself. The seat warmer switch was in the off position. My dad has since disconnected the wiring to the seat warmers on both drivers and passenger sides. This seems to be a safety issue. Has there been other complaints like this for these vehicles? We have not been to the dealer, we have contacted nissan and were told the following "your vehicle is out of warranty and therefore is not our problem" the car has 170,000 kms on it but this is a safety issue not a warranty complaint.

2020 Nissan Rogue
  • Date of Incident: Mar-19, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-25, 2024
  • Failed components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The rear windshield of my car blew out overnight. Police came and determined there was no vandalism, it blew out. My car had been parked for at least 12 hours, with no shifts in temperature. Upon doing a google search and speaking to people on message boards, it seems this is quite a common issue on this car, with the damage presenting in the exact same way. Two holes on either side of the windshield with everything else shattered. Thankfully i wasn't driving at the time, but i did speak to one person who was. I attempted to speak with nissan but they told me it was not under warranty and basically not their problem. No warning indicators or anything else that would have warned of issue.

Unresolved knock/pop sound coming from the front wheel passenger side. Dealer replaced front passenger strut, this did not resolved the issue. Apparently now the dealer is telling me it's an engine mount that will get an engineering update soon from the manufacturer.
