What NHTSA owner complaints mean

These figures count complaints that vehicle owners and other members of the public have submitted to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. NHTSA uses complaints, together with other data, to spot safety issues that may warrant an investigation and to check whether existing recalls go far enough.

  • They are reports, not findings. Each complaint is the submitter's own account. Its presence in the database does not mean NHTSA has confirmed a defect.
  • Counts are not defect rates. The data doesn't say how many vehicles were sold, so a raw count can't tell you what share of vehicles had a problem.
  • Popular models collect more complaints. A model sold in large numbers will usually gather more complaints than a rare one, simply because more people own it.
  • One complaint can name several components. Totals by component can therefore add up to more than the number of complaints.
  • Coverage starts in 1995. NHTSA's complaint file contains complaints received since January 1, 1995.

Use complaint patterns as a prompt for questions: whether a recall covers the issue, whether the vehicle you are considering has had the fix, and what a mechanic finds on inspection. For confirmed safety defects, see the recall list for this model.

Highlighted: the model year with the most campaigns.

  1. NHTSA campaign 10V175000

    Reported

    Seats; Air Bags

    Model years 2005–2007

    Nissan is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2007 Infiniti G35 sedans manufactured from March 29, 2004 through August 25, 2006 and Infiniti G35 coupes manufactured from April 1, 2004 through May 30, 2007. The wire harness connecting the belt tension sensor (BTS) and the occupant detection sensor (ods) control unit under the front passenger seat can experience relative movement which can cause wear and oxidization of the terminals and may cause interruption of the signal.

    Consequence:
    In the event of a crash, the airbag may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury.
    Remedy:
    Nissan will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on July 12, 2010. Owners may contact Nissan toll-free at 1-800-662-6200.

    Filed by Nissan North America, Inc.

  2. NHTSA campaign 08V521000

    Reported

    Electrical System › Software; Air Bags

    Model years 2007–2008

    Nissan is recalling 204,361 MY 2007-2008 altima, altima hybrid, 350Z, 350Z roadster, MY 2008 altima coupe, rogue, MY 2009 murano, and Infiniti MY 2007-2008 G35 sedan, MY 2008 G37 coupe and EX35 passenger vehicles equipped with continental automotive systems' occupant classification system (ocs) control units. A varistor in the ocs control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the ocs and the air bag control unit (acu).

    Consequence:
    This could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will test the signal between the ocs and acu systems using a special tool to check that it is functioning as designed. If necessary, the seat cushion (containing ocs hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specification. The recall began on November 4, 2008. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

    Filed by Nissan North America, Inc.

  3. NHTSA campaign 06V394000

    Reported

    Exterior Lighting › Headlights

    Model years 2006–2007

    Certain vehicles fail to comply with the "vertical gradient" and "headlamp photometric values" requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, 'lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.'

    Consequence:
    This standard is to reduce crashes, injuries and deaths by providing adequate illumination of the roadway, and by enhancing the conspicuity of motor vehicles on the public roads so that their presence is perceived and their signals understood, both in daylight and in darkness or other conditions of reduced visibility.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the headlamp assemblies. The recall is expected to begin on or about April 16, 2007. Owners may contact Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

    Filed by Nissan North America, Inc.

  4. NHTSA campaign 05V555000

    Reported

    Fuel System, Gasoline

    Model years 2003–2004

    On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles, the fuel filler hose may crack and result in fuel leakage from the hose while refueling.

    Consequence:
    Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the fuel filler hose. Recall began on February 27, 2006, for Nissan owners, and on March 13, 2006, for Infiniti owners. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

    Filed by Nissan North America, Inc.

  5. NHTSA campaign 03V455000

    Reported

    Engine and Engine Cooling

    Model year 2003

    On certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor or cam position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering process.

    Consequence:
    This could cause the "service engine soon" warning light to come on, create a no start condition, cause reduced engine power, or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the crank position sensors. Camshaft position sensor(s), and in some cases, the variable timing control sensor(s). Vehicles involved in a previous recall campaign, 01V357, are also included in this new campaign. The replacement sensors used in that campaign are also affected. Owner notification began on December 22, 2003. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

    Filed by Nissan North America, Inc.

  6. NHTSA campaign 03V200000

    Reported

    Exterior Lighting › Brake Lights › Switch

    Model year 2003

    On certain sedan and coupe model vehicles, the brake stop lamp switch may malfunction.

    Consequence:
    If this occurs, the brake lamps will not illuminate when the brake is applied, which could result in a crash without warning.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the brake lamp switch. Owner notification began on June 23, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

    Filed by Nissan North America, Inc.

  7. NHTSA campaign 02V331000

    Reported

    Exterior Lighting › Headlights

    Model year 2003

    Certain sedans fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." In the assembly of the headlamps, it is necessary to have a means to adjust the headlamps. Tamperproof caps to prevent horizontal adjustment of the headlamps are then installed. Some of these vehicles are missing the tamperproof caps.

    Remedy:
    Dealers will install the missing tamperproof caps on the headlamp assemblies. Owner notification began January 20, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

    Filed by Nissan North America, Inc.

  8. NHTSA campaign 02V245000

    Reported

    Fuel System, Gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

    Model year 2003

    On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel hose connection for the outlet of the fuel pump which is located at the top of the fuel tank may not have been properly attached when the vehicle was assembled and could come loose while driving or when starting the engine.

    Consequence:
    If the connection comes loose while driving, the engine will stop running due to lack of fuel, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, if the connection comes loose while driving or attempting to start or restart the engine, some fuel will discharge from the fuel pump. If this should occur in the presence of an external ignition source, a fire could result.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, properly attach the fuel hose to the fuel pump. Owner notification is expected to begin October 7, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.
