Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Electrical system

3 reports
“The infotainment screen is blank after starting the vehicle. Nothing comes up on the display preventing you from using or seeing backup camera, maps, vehicle settings, music, basically anything that would normally be displayed on the infotainment screen. Not being able to access the backup camera limits visibility potentially causing accidents. This has happened intermittently since buying the vehicle in August 2025. My local Nissan service replaced the radio in an attempt to fix the problem. However it has continued to happen. Now service says Nissan is coming out with a software update that should fix it but I’m concerned it won’t be repaired while the vehicle is still under warranty. When you can’t access the backup camera in particular it’s a safety issue that Nissan should be required to fix whether a car is under warranty or not.”

Structure

1 report
“The front driver side windshield molding/fascia flew off the car along with a piece of large plastic that secures it where the hood meets the windshield while driving at 78 mph. It startled us and could have affected drivers around us causing major harm. It is large heavy piece of plastic measuring nearly 3 feet x 6 inches”
