At low speeds after startup, the car automatically shifts from drive into neutral. The car will be locked in neutral, not letting you put it in park, drive, or reverse. To get the car back into drive, you must come to a complete stop, turn the car off, back on, and floor the accelerator. Failure to floor the accelerator will lead to the car getting stuck in neutral again. I have pulled out into traffic on numerous occasions and had the car die in the middle of the road, forcing me to come to a stop and fully turn it back on, sometimes multiple times. No warning messages appear.

At approximately 18,500 miles, my 2023 Nissan Ariya experienced a brake system failure while driving. The vehicle exhibited abnormal braking behavior and reduced braking performance, creating a serious safety concern. I was able to safely stop the vehicle, but the failure could have resulted in an accident. The vehicle was taken to a Nissan dealership for inspection. The diagnosis revealed severe and premature wear of the rear brake pads and significant damage to the rear rotors. The dealership also recommended replacement of the entire rear brake assemblies, not just standard wear components. The total repair estimate is approximately $3,800. Safety Concern: This failure occurred at very low mileage. In an electric vehicle with regenerative braking, brake components should last significantly longer under normal conditions. The extent of damage and need for full brake assembly replacement suggests a potential mechanical or electronic defect, such as a caliper malfunction or braking system issue. This was not normal wear and tear. The failure occurred during operation and posed a direct safety risk due to compromised braking ability. Manufacturer Response: The dealership has indicated the issue may not be covered under warranty, classifying it as wear-related. However, the severity and early failure strongly indicate an underlying defect rather than routine wear. I have contacted Nissan Corporate claims for further resolution. When visually inspecting the car the rotors were irregularly worn and the brake lines had burst spilling break fluid all over the rear innner tire .

Vehicle tires last less than 10k miles before tread depth is unsafe. I have complained to Nissan and they take no responsibility despite being the company that selected these tires, and there are multiple instances of failure for this vehicle. I should not have to buy new tires on a $60k car with less than 10k miles on it.

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing issue concerning the car I purchased from your dealership on January 21st of this year. Upon further investigation, I have discovered a discrepancy related to the labeling and assembly information of the vehicle, which has led to concerns regarding its eligibility for tax credit. According to the label affixed to the car, it states that the "Final Assembly Point" is in Los Angeles. However, upon verifying this information with the Energy Department of the United States, it was revealed that the car was actually assembled in Japan. I was taken aback by this revelation, as it seems that the information provided on the label does not align with the assembly location specified by the Energy Department. It is my understanding that in order to include "Final Assembly" in Los Angeles on the label, the car must first meet the criteria outlined by the Energy Department. Only then should this information be accurately reflected on the label. To validate this claim, I cross-checked with other automobile manufacturers such as Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, and Volvo, who have diligently adhered to the car's component origins and appropriately labeled their vehicles. Notably, all manufacturers, except for Volkswagen, indicate "Final Assembly" in the respective countries where the car was assembled, such as Japan for Toyota and South Korea for Kia and Hyundai. Volkswagen, on the other hand, solely states "Final Assembly" in North America; however, when cross-referencing with the Energy Department, it appears that the actual assembly takes place elsewhere. I reached out to Nissan Ariya support seeking clarification on this matter, and they confirmed that the labeling on the car is indeed accurate. This situation has left me questioning whether the Energy Department's information is correct or if the manufacturer's response is valid. Given the false information provided and the apparent deception employed to bolster ma
