Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Interior & seats 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.

MY DAUGHTER OVER-CORRECTED AND ROLLED THE CAR 4 TIMES, WHICH SHE WAS EJECTED ON THE FIRST ROLL, BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT FAILED TO HOLD HER IN. SHE HAS MARKS ON HER NECK SHOWING WHERE THE SEATBELT BURNED HER BEFORE FAILING TO HOLD HER INSIDE THE CAR. SHE HAS OVER 200 STITCHES IN HER BODY, LUCKILY NO BROKEN BONES OR INTERNAL INJURIES. IT APPEARS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAME OPEN ALSO, POSSIBLY THE EXIT POINT, SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS EJECTED FROM. *TR

CAR WAS TAKEN UPON MOVE TO THE NETHERLANDS. NISSAN USA AND NISSAN NETHERLANDS GIVE ME RUN-AROUND ON THIS STRANGE PROBLEM. I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT SEATS MUST WITHSTAND BIG FORCES IN CASE OF A ACCIDENT, NOT FAIL WHILE CRUISING! AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS STILL AT A DEALER TO BE LOOKED AT BY SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE NETHERLANDS. MY GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM AWARE TO ALL MAXIMA DRIVERS AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY DUE TO FACT THAT WE DRIVE MORE THAT 1 NISSAN! I DO NOT WANT MONEY COMPENSATION.
