This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My drivers side door is locked. I started my car, drive off and it auto locks at a certain speed. When I stopped I was unable to unlock the door. I was forced to climb out the passenger side. The car had a manual key lock, this also failed, it will lock the other doors but will not unlock any of them. It failed and there is no manual way to open the door. This is a major safety issue, if I was involved in an accident I would have been trapped in the car. I approached Nissan. They laughed it off and say my car is out of warranty so I must pay to repair this. I understand that, but this is not a broken light or a leaking fuel tank, this failure is a major fail in keeping me safe in my vehicle. When I took it to the dealer for repair they gave me an estimate based on a similar case they had a few weeks before, and I read numerous reports from others owners of vehicles on the internet.
While driving, my panoramic sunroof suddenly exploded. When the glass broke, it broke outward as it was lifted when I saw it when I got to my destination.
