Founded in 1933, Nissan is one of Japan's largest automakers with a global presence.
Nissan vehicles frequently appear in lemon law cases due to widespread CVT transmission problems.
Nissan vehicles appear in California lemon law cases involving consumer-reported, recurring mechanical issues and alleged manufacturing defects that may impact vehicle safety, value, and usability. Whether any individual vehicle qualifies depends on its specific repair history.
We track 205 NHTSA recalls and 5,784 consumer complaints across 18 Nissan models with reported data.
