Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED (2003 FX 35) IN 2010 AND HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT SEEMS TO BE SOME VERY COMMON COMPLAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE . DEFECTS THAT THE LOCAL DEALERS (MCALLEN , TEXAS) HAVE REFUSED TO ADDRESS. 1) CRACKED DASH. SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE DASHES. 2) FAULTY CAR LOCK ACTUATORS. THIS SEEMS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THE PROBLEMS CAN BE SO PREVALENT (CHECK THE WEB) , BUT YET NISSAN FAILS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE DASH NOT BEING A HAZARD , HOWEVER, THE LOCKS CAN BE. I CANT EVEN OPEN MY HATCH, AND THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A LUXURY VEHICLE? *TR
