1992 Nissan NX Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

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.

I AM WRITING YOU WITH A CONCERN REGARDING A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY 1992 NISSAN NX WHICH I BOUGHT NEW IN 1991. LAST FRIDAY I WAS RIDING ON THE BELT PARKWAY IN BROOKLYN WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER DROVE UP ALONGSIDE ME TO TELL ME THAT MY SPARE TIRE HAD JUST FALLEN OUT OF MY TRUNK. I WAS COMPLETELY STARTLED AS THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOME MAJOR ACCIDENTS. I PULLED MY CAR OVER AND OPENED THE TRUNK AND FOUND THAT THE WHOLE TRUNK HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I WAS PRETTY SHOOK UP AS I CONTEMPLATED HOW LUCKY I WAS THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENTS. I THEN BECAME VERY ANGRY WHEN I SEARCHED THE WEB AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER NISSAN NX'S WERE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEM. I DID HAVE A PRBLEM WITH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER RUSTING AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO BUT DID NOT REALIZE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD NO REASON TO CHECK THE WHEEL WELL UNDER THE SPARE TIRE WHEN I CHECKED THE SPARE TIRE. I CAN ALSO SEND YOU PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE IF THAT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
