Nissan body problems

Owners have filed 4,370 complaints with NHTSA about the body and structure on Nissan vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 49 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Nissan Altima, worst in 2005.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
