Nissan equipment problems

Owners have filed 721 complaints with NHTSA about the equipment on Nissan vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 28 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Nissan Altima, worst in 2002.

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.
