Questions to ask the seller
- Were recalls 10E019000 (suspension), 10V074000 (fuel system, other) and 07V449000 (seat belts) done? Ask for the dealer printout, or check the VIN.
- Any fuel smell, stalling or hard starts? On a hybrid or EV, any reduced-power warning or battery work?
- Do the brakes feel even, with no ABS or brake warning light? When were the pads and brake fluid last done?
- Nissan sent dealers 87 repair notes for this car. Was this one done: “Right front seat back vibration at highway speeds”?
From this year's own recalls, top problems, top repair bills and Nissan's repair notes. Recall repairs are free at any dealer.
How serious. Out of all 19 owner complaints filed so far (every year since it was sold, not just the first 3), owners reported:
“Average car” = what the same number of complaints would include at the rate across every model year we track. Owners report these themselves; NHTSA doesn't confirm the cause.
What owners complain about most. From owner complaints to the government.
Share of this year's owner complaints filed with NHTSA, not the share of cars that break. One complaint can name more than one area.

When owners reported problems. From owner complaints to the government.
Most owners who filed a complaint with NHTSA had 13K to 37K miles (21K to 61K km) on the car (14 of all 19 complaints filed so far listed the miles). This shows when people who had a problem reported it, not the odds that your car will have it.
