Steering

Filed Sep 15, 2014TX

THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING, GOING FROM REVERSE TO PROCEED FORWARD, WHEN GOING UPHILL AND FROM STOP TO GO. IT IS BECOMING WORSE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD MANY THINGS FROM DIFFERENT MECHANICS. AFTER VIEWING THE MANY COMPLAINTS I AM NOT AWARE THIS IS A CONCERN FOR NISSAN TO FOLLOW UP ON. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE BUT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A DOWN PAYMENT NISSAN WILL NOT DO SO. HOWEVER I NOW MAY BE LOOKING AT BEING STUCK ON THE ROAD, WASTING MONEY ON A LOST CAUSE OR HURT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS AND IF IT CAN BE PREVENTED, THAT IS WHAT NISSAN'S CONCERN SHOULD BE. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP NOT ONLY MY DAUGHTER SAFE BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
