Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2014 NV is unknown or other with 4 filings, followed by visibility/wiper (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 2 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

NHTSA currently has 54 investigation files overlapping the 2014 NV, and 5 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

THE REAR AC BLOWER MOTOR DIED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THIS PASSENGER VEHICLE IS THE ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY WITH 7 SMALL CHILDREN RANGING IN AGE FROM 10 MONTHS TO 11 YEARS OLD. YESTERDAY AND TODAY, THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE HAS REACHED 104 DEGREES INSIDE (86 DEGREES OUTSIDE) WHILE THE AC IS RUNNING ON ITS HIGHEST SETTING IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN. THEIR AUTO TECH SAID EVERYONE WHO PURCHASES THIS VEHICLE COMES BACK WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSOCIATE RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT YOU TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL UNLESS THEY ARE DIRECTED TO DO SO BY YOU. PLEASE HELP FAMILIES LIKE MINE. HOT VEHICLES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN. PLEASE DO NOT LET SOMEONE LOSE A CHILD BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART THAT NISSAN AND THE NHTSA KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO RECALL. *TR

1) SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE VIEW. AT NIGHT, MULTIPLE IMAGES OF HEADLIGHTS MAKE IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHERE OTHER VEHICLES ARE LOCATED. 2) SUN VISOR IS TOO SHORT TO BLOCK SUN FROM DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW EVEN WITH THE SEAT PULLED ALL THE WAY FORWARD. (I TRIED MAKING ADJUSTMENTS AND THEN THOUGHT I MIGHT GET USED TO IT BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR SIX MONTHS THESE DEFICIENCIES CONTINUE TO BE A HAZARD.)

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH DASH LIGHTS REFLECTING ON THE DRIVER LEFT SIDE WINDOW THAT INTERFERE WITH THE ABILITY TO SEE IMAGES IN THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR AT NIGHT. TURNING DOWN THE INTENSITY OF THE DASH LIGHTS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PROBLEM. ONLY TOTALLY DIMMING THE DASH LIGHTS REMOVE THE REFLECTION. THEN THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS CANNOT BE SEEN. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR WITH THE 2003 SPRINTER VAN THAT I PREVIOUSLY DROVE. I WOULD HOPE NISSAN CAN DEVELOP A CORRECTION. THIS CONDITION IS A MAJOR IRRITANT TO ME. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I FIRST DROVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT.
