Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component
Electrical system
3 reports
“The front passenger door actuator stopped working so that you can lock and unlock the door. I saw that there is a lawsuit for other Nissan models of the same year for issues with the same part and figured it might all be the same part and should report it. It has been confirmed by monro auto repair shop.”
Power train
3 reports
“Transmission shudder at 1000-1500 rpm.”
Engine and engine cooling
1 report
“The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Quest. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle started overheating and jerking with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle started smoking, and the contact pulled over on the side of the road and added coolant, but the failure continued. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the radiator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.”
