Nissan fuel system problems
Owners have filed 6,756 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Nissan vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 46 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Nissan Xterra, worst in 2006.
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.
