DRIVING ON HWY, WENT TO MAKE LEFT AT LIGHT, THE WHEELS LOCKED AND THE CAR SLID INTO A GUARDRAIL DAMAGING THE ENTIRE FRONT OF VEHICLE. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOME SORT OF FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE BRAKING OR STEERING SYSTEM AND IF SO WHAT IS MY RECOURSE TO HAVE THIS CAR EXCHANGED OR REPAIRED. I'VE HAD IT FOR 3 MONTHS - DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING SHOULD BE LOCKING ON IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANY PASSENGERS I MAY HAVE. I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS BRAND NEW NOW DAMAGED CAR OF MINE. THANK YOU. *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2013 Nissan Rogue Select verdict →
