The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Z. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, upon coming to an abrupt stop, the hood suddenly popped open; obstructing the driver's view, prompting him to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. The message "Collision Detected - Pop-up Activators Deployed" was displayed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the active-hood pop-up pyro actuators. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V798000 (Structure, Electrical System); but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 7,000.

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.
