2019 Nissan Nv Safety Report

The 2019 Nissan NV has a relatively low number of NHTSA complaints, with only 7 total reported. This includes 1 crash, 1 fire, and 1 injury, with no reported fatalities. The overall safety picture is difficult to fully assess as the vehicle has not received any NHTSA crash test ratings (Overall, Frontal, Side, Rollover are all N/A). This lack of comprehensive crash test data means its performance in controlled collision scenarios is unknown. Common complaint patterns, despite the low volume, show a distribution across several key components. The top reported components include ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, and TIRES, each with one complaint. Specific issues highlighted in complaints include engine stuttering and failure at highway speeds, complete transmission failure requiring replacement, and steering wheel lock-up leading to a rollover crash where airbags deployed. Electrical issues, such as erratic blinkers and headlights not turning off, were also reported at very low mileage. Recall history for the 2019 Nissan NV includes one significant recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V654000) concerning the 'BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA'. This recall affects a wide range of Nissan models from 2018-2019, where the back-up camera display may not show an image, increasing the risk of a crash. While this is a safety-critical recall, it's important to note that the vehicle's low complaint count and lack of crash test ratings make it challenging to draw definitive conclusions about its overall safety performance beyond these specific reported issues and the recall.

Our recommendation: Given the lack of crash test data and a few serious, albeit infrequent, mechanical complaints, potential buyers should prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection and verify all recall repairs have been completed.
