2021 Nissan GT-R Problems And Complaints

2021 Nissan GT-R User Complaints and Problems

There are no complaints registered against the Nissan GT-R on the NHTSA website. However, there have been reports about the GT-R’s problems on enthusiast forums and websites.

Mechanical Problems

• Engine - There have been a few complaints reported by owners of the GT-R about the bell housing rattle. The bell house tends to rattle a little too much because of a loose bearing that is attached to the car’s flywheel shaft.
• Brakes - Many owners have reported the brakes fading away a little too soon than expected. Excessive usage of brakes on any car will certainly wear out the brakes. However, in the GT-R’s case, owners have reported a steep decline in the stopping distance over a short period of ownership and low mileage.
• Transmissions - A few GT-R owners have reported that the car has troubles with the transmission. The most reported complaint was that it had faulty control solenoids which caused troubles with transmission parts that wore down at a quicker rate than they normally should.

Exterior Problems

• Exterior Lighting - A few owners of the GT-R have also complained about condensation within the headlights. This is a common problem with owners who live in colder regions with unpredictable climates. Condensation on the headlights results in lower road illumination and visibility at night and can be dangerous while driving.
