Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.
7
+1 complaint in 30 days
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Exterior lighting
Filed Aug 7, 2026

The driver's-side front headlight assembly (a sealed LED unit) failed. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. It started with moisture intrusion; I took it to the Dealer. They said I had to replace it out of pocket. I explained this was an apparent manufacturer failure. Since I got the car back, it flickered until it went out, and the dashboard displays a Headlight Failure error. The failed headlight significantly reduces forward visibility at night and my vehicle's visibility to other drivers. This creates a hazard on unlit roads and in poor weather, increasing the risk of a collision. I currently do not feel safe driving it at night, and we are in the rainy season in South Florida. Yes. A Nissan dealer inspected the vehicle, confirmed the headlight assembly failure, and quoted approximately $1,900 for parts alone. They could not provide a labor quote to replace it. The issue is a sealed LED headlight assembly, not a replaceable bulb. A sealed unit designed to last the life of the vehicle that fails due to moisture intrusion points to a housing-seal defect, not normal wear or a maintenance item. I do not believe I should pay out of pocket for that. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs. I was informed the vehicle has just over 27,000 miles but the original in-service date of 6/30/2023, placing it only about five weeks past the basic warranty's time limit and roughly 9,000 miles under the mileage cap. The failure has been reported to Nissan Consumer Affairs, which has opened a case for review. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance. Yes. A headlight system warning message appeared on the dashboard as of 7/31/2026, and I have informed Nissan Consumer Affairs.

I purchased a 2023 Nissan Murano from Sunset Kia in Auburn, Washington. The vehicle was listed online with 37,334 miles and this was the mileage discussed throughout the sales process. However, after finalizing the paperwork and taking possession of the vehicle, I noticed that the actual mileage on the odometer was over 42,500 miles—more than 5,000 miles higher than advertised. I contacted the dealership immediately. They told me the discrepancy was due to a sales manager driving the vehicle during the time it was listed and that they "forgot to update" the mileage in the online listing. This explanation raises concern for me, as I believe I was misled during the transaction. If the odometer disclosure form and the listing did not reflect the true mileage, this may constitute odometer fraud or at least a violation of federal and state disclosure laws. I am requesting that this situation be investigated. I have documentation including screenshots of the original listing and text message communication with the dealership confirming the listed mileage.

On [XXX] I was driving back down [XXX] , stopped at red light and when light changed to green, I proceeded to take off and as I got under the interstate overpass my vehicle abruptly started slowing down as if it was going to shut completely down and the panel in the dash turned red with a symbol of a car. There was a vehicle coming directly behind me and I am thankful they were not following me closely because it may have caused them to hit me from behind. A few seconds later the vehicle picked up speed and the red warning light disappeared quickly. 11/11/24 I made a call to Nissan Consumer Affairs to create a case (case#[XXX]) and representative opened and closed the case without escalating to a specialist for review. On 11/13/24 I took the Vehicle into a Nissan Dealership to perform a diagnostic on the vehicle and no code was found. I was told to bring the vehicle back in for a full day to troubleshoot. With all of the safety features this vehicle has, I thought issues like this would be recorded. I asked the service advisor if anyone else has reported this issue and he stated not on the 23 Murano but have received reports of other Nissan vehicles just shutting down. This could have been a very bad situation and Nissan Consumer Affairs did not seem to care when this issue was brought to their attention. Also have reported issue with brake pedal squeaking and wheel slipping when making short turn on driver's side. Issues are never found by the dealership in most cases, until the warranty runs out which is very short (3yrs 36,000). I attempted to upload document to support my trip to dealership, but received message that file is too large.

Crash reported

noticed a small oil puddle near the front passenger side of the car in the garage before leaving for work on 2/24/24 at approximately 530am. Checked all reservoirs and found nothing outstanding and left for work. At approximately 540am I was driving to work and noticed 2 deer avoided one and hit the second one while still attempting to stop. I slammed my brakes, had no abs kick on, and the pedal went to the floor and I still narrowly clipped the second deer. I was attempting to brake for at least 20ft before the collision happened with the deer and slowed down from 80 to 65mph. I found it very odd that my brake pedal went to the floor and did not set off the ABS system and that the car took longer than it should have to come to a complete stop. After collision repair was done, thankfully just cosmetic damage, the dealership found both front brake calipers leaking the passenger one leaking significantly more than the drivers side. Due to the oil being found before that trip that day it has been ruled they were leaking before the incident occurred and this could have resulted in my car not being able to stop fully and properly and hitting the deer.
