Nissan suspension problems

Owners have filed 3,714 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Nissan vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 37 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Nissan Altima, worst in 2013.

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.
