2021 Nissan Nv Safety Report

The 2021 Nissan NV has a very limited safety data set due to its low complaint volume and lack of NHTSA crash test ratings. With only 6 total complaints, 2 reported crashes, and 2 injuries, it's difficult to form a comprehensive safety picture. A significant concern arises from the 'AIR BAGS' component, which accounts for 2 out of 6 complaints (33%). One severe incident describes airbags failing to deploy in a high-speed collision, resulting in extensive passenger injuries including broken facial bones and a fractured back. Another airbag-related complaint details an airbag error light due to a damaged sensor under the passenger seat. Beyond airbags, a 'POWER TRAIN' complaint describes the transmission downshifting and lurching the vehicle forward during braking, which reportedly caused a rear-end accident by increasing stopping distance. There's also a complaint related to 'FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM' regarding the inability to obtain a fuel pump for a recall, although no recalls are officially listed for this specific model year. The absence of any recalls for the 2021 model year means there have been no manufacturer-identified widespread safety defects requiring a fix. Crucially, the 2021 Nissan NV has not been rated by NHTSA for overall, frontal, side, or rollover safety. This lack of official crash test data makes it impossible to assess its structural integrity and occupant protection performance in controlled crash scenarios. While the low complaint count might suggest fewer widespread issues, the severity of the reported airbag failures and the lack of crash test data are significant considerations for potential buyers.

Our recommendation: Given the lack of NHTSA crash test ratings and severe reported airbag non-deployment, potential buyers should exercise caution and thoroughly inspect any used 2021 Nissan NV, especially regarding airbag system functionality and transmission behavior.
