I'm not surprised about Nissan spying on their own employees. I started to dislike Nissan when I read the story of Uzi Nissan ( not related to Nissan the car company).It's like a story between David vs. Goliath.
Yes in the 90's Nissan were a mark of reliability in the same way as Toyota and Honda. Since the tie up with Renault the brand was cheapened. I don't like the direction of most car makers. I still want a naturally aspirated, petrol vehicle for reliability. For me that's Honda, Toyota, Suzuki or Mazda lately but even these have started selling small turbo powered petrols and hybrids.
They are attempting an internal rally, this public statement is actually aimed at employees. When you have this many employees internal comms effectively become public

Simple, since 2003 NISSAN customers are pissed off because of their low mileage CVT transmissions issues and costly to replace after expired warranty...
Nissan should do what US is doing, re-label their cars as "freedom cars" and sell them in US, that would work better. Anything with "freedom" badge will automatically sell like hotcakes in the USA.
I have a Nisssn CVT and it’s wonderful. No issues at all but I do treat it with respect which I guess a lot don’t as it’s very easy to use the accelerator as an ON/OFF switch and burn it from traffic lights. I see so much of this that no wonder some fail.
IN 1995 I bought a Nissan truck which was good for 18 years, but I was always really an admirer of Datsun. RIP, Datsun. Nobody has made those kinds of vehicles for decades now.
@@gregvogt7294 I had a 72 Datsun (came with the wife) which was a total piece of クソ. I had to tear it apart and put in new piston rings, and it rusted apart in no time.

Sam. Your channel is becoming a car industry financial report, more than a technology prone one. That's fine with me because now, more than ever before, is economics leading the changes and transformation of the car industry all over the world, so we're on the verge of witnessing if the "forced electrification" of mobility is good for economy as a whole, or ends with more unemployment and lower birth rates than ever before. Now there's a scary thought. Keep on the fine work!
I rented a Nissan Rogue recently. The engine started knocking a bit going uphill. Then more at idle. Then the knocking became constant at all engine loads and speeds. When I limped it back to the busy rental lot at the LAX airport to replace it, the lot attendants laughed out loud, literally, because *yet another* Nissan had limped back broken. It was quite literally a big joke to them because they see so many of them come back broken.
I had a 2016 Juke and I got more out of the warranty plan than I paid for it. That included replacing the transmission. Trading it in for a Tesla Model Y was a good decision.
Sounds like the rental manager should be fired! If his staff are THAT far that they laugh at the constant returns - then he isn't doing HIS job, ie. freezing/cancelling this model/manufacturer from the line-up!

I had a Volvo twin engine PHEV. The engine blew up just outside of the warranty. Changed to a Hyundai EV a couple of years ago and it has been brilliant.
Hi Sam, that is sad news.............I was such a fan of Datsuns in my early 20s, I owned 5 different Datsun 1600's between my 18th Bday and 30th Bday. I just loved them.
I almost bought a new Frontier. It looked good. But the dealer wanted $58K plus another $1K for a $35 ceramic costing. Plus I learned that instead of steel cyclinder sleeves they plasma paint the aluminum cylinder walls to 0.2 mm thick. Whoa, I ran away.
Japan's govt debt is primarily in Japanese Yen. Govt debt in their own currency is no barrier to them propping up any industry in Japan if they wanted.
Still Chademo? Max 50kw "fast" charge? At least needed upgrades there to stay in game. As hot/hatch fan, Mini, Peugeot etc doubled to 100kw, just not for US rrrgh.
The problem with the leaf is it hasn’t moved on. Still no battery management still Chademo connectors and the price is just ridiculous here in the UK compared to alternatives.

Thanks for the video. One thing to add, Japan's debt is owned >90% by Japanese rich families. In other words, Japanese own Japan, just not their government ;).
I own 2 Nissans. Both run very well and never had any serious issues. I have a 2021 Murano that has been leaning from the day I got it. Nissan refuses to repair it, although it's visible. My horn doesn't work, and they won't fix it. So I said I'll wait for the new Murano, and it's so unappealing. Looks good inside, but outside is a downgrade in appearance and appeal.

Lousy management at your local Nissan representative gave you the earlier Murano problem which they should be obligated to resolve ... Bad decision call n weak leadership engine lead by to be this attitude n corporate culture
Japan has by far the highest national debt and an even higher debt to GDP growth ratio. Also, Toyota has the highest corporate debt on the planet and an even worse debt to asset ratio.
I drive a Nissan Note Diesel since 10/years. What a great easy car. I love it. In Germany it has to be registered as Mini Van, which drives the insurance premium up, and we might have one of the most expensive car insurance systems in the world. Just another scheme to exploit people. But the car itself is just great. After 10 years and regular maintanance it still looks like new, and consumes an average of 4,5 Liters on 100 Km.
Nissin (the way Sam pronounces it) makes instant noodles. Nissan makes cars. It’s like the difference between the word ‘yawn’ and ‘lawn’. Maybe subtle but a huge difference in meaning. 🤦
Kind of sad seeing It was a 80s Nissan Maxima later a Pulsar that got me through HS and college. Inexpensive, 100% reliable. Just add gas and go. I remember forgetting the last time I filled up or even changed oil. Just drive.
Id be sad to see Nissan go under - my friend owns a local garage and he said so many people cant afford to change their cars due to the cost of living and are hanging on them longer
It's not just Nissan, all the auto manufacturers... But they still don't realize that their prices are what's causing the decline. They need cheaper profitable and competitive products. $50k for a Rouge is ridiculous.
The perks of building 'ghost cities' each with tens of thousands of apartment units is that now people can move into them. And they have. Now, perhaps, the media will stop making fun of them.
The brand, the badge, like MG is worth something, NISSAN has/had a reasonably good reputation and maybe a manufacturing plant to get around import taxes in the EU or US.
Nissan REALLY needs to merge with: Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi and Isuzu, ASAP, and focus on a limited lineup of cars: small hatchback, small sedan, mid-sized sedan, small SUV, large SUV and small truck, under 1 brand and work like hell to eliminate waste. Japan should really only have 3 automakers: Toyota, Honda and the combined automakers brand, otherwise, there's virtually no chance of survival against Chinese brands. The same should go with EU brands, they need to combine to only 3, VW, Stellantis, combined BMW/Mercedes, and focus on the same vehicles, and the U.S., only GM, Ford, Tesla and combined Lucid/Rivian.
Who partners up with who is pretty pointless if you are still making cars that no one wants to buy. Here in the UK October EV sales were up 25% and everything else was down. Pure battery electric vehicles out sell diesel by over 3 to one in the UK but still the news channels say “no one wants EVs” I wonder who’s paying their bills?
When I was a kid, news programs would have relevant videos. I never would have imagined that news programs in the future would consist of irrelevant rapidly cycled videos inserted automatically by a computer program.
Japanese carmakers are losing massively in market share to Chinese automakers in all foreign markets. Nissan is not saveable in any market but its home market and the U.S.
Probably, the Sunderland plant is often viewed as one the most productive and automated in Europe. Although, I wonder if Renault will take ownership of the Sunderland plant with the surrounding tech company expertise (robotics, software etc.) as part of the Nissan sale terms.
Is kinda funny how Nissan was in this Position before, they hired Carlos Goshn to wrangle them out of the position. They got rid of Goshn, and now they face the same problem again.
Sandy Munro said incumbent manufacturers are doomed some time ago. It's happening. Looking for a new car after my model x is due back off lease. My local Nissan franchise doesn't have a Aria to test drive, and said they are unlikely to get one any time soon!
This is a bit harsh but if Nissan is really that close to bankruptcy or acquisition, that's really sad. They were a great auto company once upon a time, and (IMHO) still make some great vehicles. The Rogue crossover is one of the top vehicles in its class in the U.S. I don't understand why they don't release the EV-generator version in the U.S.; it might sell pretty well. We have a Leaf that's a really nice, affordable little EV and we love it. Anyway, I hope they pull through this, one way or the other. Probably will have to partner with another big auto maker to survive.
Desperate times for car manufacturers. Nissan and Renault had actually adopted and embraced EV tech too. Governments are to blame and there will be a reckoning.
I hope they sell it off as 2 different companies with some IP intact. Particularly its European operation. Meantime Ghosn is having cocktail for all Auto executive. Bring your name card. You might meet some interesting people.
If Honda bought Nissan and Mitsubishi, this could lead to a Japanese general motors? You know what I mean a company with multiple brands that cater to different market needs and what about infinity and Acura?
As a Nissan and Infiniti fan from 1981 and 1989 respectively that was difficult to watch and listen to. I hope the Nissan and Infiniti name still continue. I'm deeply saddened 😔

For Nissan, the partner in joint-venture is Dongfeng.
For Honda, the partners in joint-ventures are GAC and Dongfeng.
I drive a Nissan Note Diesel since 10/years. What a great easy car. I love it. In Germany it has to be registered as Mini Van, which drives the insurance premium up, and we might have one of the most expensive car insurance systems in the world. Just another scheme to exploit people. But the car itself is just great. After 10 years and regular maintanance it still looks like new, and consumes an average of 4,5 Liters on 100 Km.
Nissin (the way Sam pronounces it) makes instant noodles. Nissan makes cars. It’s like the difference between the word ‘yawn’ and ‘lawn’. Maybe subtle but a huge difference in meaning. 🤦
Kind of sad seeing It was a 80s Nissan Maxima later a Pulsar that got me through HS and college. Inexpensive, 100% reliable. Just add gas and go. I remember forgetting the last time I filled up or even changed oil. Just drive.
Sad that it has come to this for a company which used to rival Toyota for quality and reliability.
Id be sad to see Nissan go under - my friend owns a local garage and he said so many people cant afford to change their cars due to the cost of living and are hanging on them longer
Great fleet cars… I own about 20 Nissan. Low maintenance, reliable, issues are predictable and not difficult to solve with the right technician.
Sad to see them in this situation. My first car was a Datsun , simple car pour fuel and run.
'Name' is all some companies have: MG, Jaguar, Volvo, come to mind. 'Nissan' doesn't seem to even have that cachet. Maybe revive the 'Datsun.'
The Datsun 1500C was a great little car.
The car manufactures need to tell governments that the EV deadlines aren't sensible. In fact I'm surprised it's taken so long to figure it out.
It's not just Nissan, all the auto manufacturers... But they still don't realize that their prices are what's causing the decline. They need cheaper profitable and competitive products. $50k for a Rouge is ridiculous.
Let's sell vehicles for prices people can't afford...Good idea 👍
The perks of building 'ghost cities' each with tens of thousands of apartment units is that now people can move into them. And they have. Now, perhaps, the media will stop making fun of them.
I agree, junk CVT transmissions, I liked early Nissan's, owned a few of them
Good idea. Like MG buy the brand and use BYD as the tech under the hood.
The brand, the badge, like MG is worth something, NISSAN has/had a reasonably good reputation and maybe a manufacturing plant to get around import taxes in the EU or US.
Danke!
Tytyty
Kodak moments 😢😢
Issa. Need to go back to petrol and diesel vehicles and the old school patrol 4wd, true off roaders.
Things always go to shit when you make more than you can sell lol
Nissan have technology that Honda needs.
And....collapsing resale value of used EV's...😢
....and insurance companies don't want to cover ....used EV's 😮
😊
Starmer and Milliband will be happy if the factory in the UK closes?🤨
Nissan REALLY needs to merge with: Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi and Isuzu, ASAP, and focus on a limited lineup of cars: small hatchback, small sedan, mid-sized sedan, small SUV, large SUV and small truck, under 1 brand and work like hell to eliminate waste. Japan should really only have 3 automakers: Toyota, Honda and the combined automakers brand, otherwise, there's virtually no chance of survival against Chinese brands. The same should go with EU brands, they need to combine to only 3, VW, Stellantis, combined BMW/Mercedes, and focus on the same vehicles, and the U.S., only GM, Ford, Tesla and combined Lucid/Rivian.
Why would those companies want to merge with dead weight? Just let them go bankrupt
Not so successful for British Leyland and now Stellantis, combining several poorly performing companies together just hastens the end.
LOL No way Nissan would merge with Mazda - who are part owned by arch rival Toyota. Likewise Subaru.
Mazda is the best of them. Zoom zoom! Except their EVs suck.
Who partners up with who is pretty pointless if you are still making cars that no one wants to buy. Here in the UK October EV sales were up 25% and everything else was down. Pure battery electric vehicles out sell diesel by over 3 to one in the UK but still the news channels say “no one wants EVs” I wonder who’s paying their bills?
All that head start the leaf gave them talk about dropping the ball
Renault has a part in this also...
+1 for the use of the word “shambolic”!
After the Ghosn Saga, I doubt anyone would dare to turn that ship around.....
When I was a kid, news programs would have relevant videos. I never would have imagined that news programs in the future would consist of irrelevant rapidly cycled videos inserted automatically by a computer program.
How does Nissan get into an employees house to do this? B&E in Japan is legal?
Japanese carmakers are losing massively in market share to Chinese automakers in all foreign markets. Nissan is not saveable in any market but its home market and the U.S.
Toyota is in exactly the same position. And they have their own problems with recalls swarf in engines, gearbox blowing up, et cetera.
Race to the bottom... how sad for mankind
Their luke warm, half hearted efforts at EVs doomed it. It's a shame, because I've had their cars, and they've been amazing.
Any money wasted EV,s just makes the problem worse.
THIS JUST IN CARLOS IS BACK!
My first car was a Nissan Sentra. Really sad to see them devolve over the past 20 years.
Nissan hasn't been the same since 2004. It's gone downhill. We have a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder and it's the best SUV ever.
They make great hybrids, they just don’t release it in North America. Look at Nissan e-power
Nissan's problem is making cars that few people want to buy ! Not too tricky to fathom !
It’s a race between Nissan and Jaguar…
My money is on Jaguar, so far they have proven they don't sell cars.😂
No, I think Nissan does not Woke.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The world should carefully watch what is happening to car factories, not to allow deliberate dismantling of brand car factories
I hope that Nissan UK can survive.
Probably, the Sunderland plant is often viewed as one the most productive and automated in Europe. Although, I wonder if Renault will take ownership of the Sunderland plant with the surrounding tech company expertise (robotics, software etc.) as part of the Nissan sale terms.
My little k11 Micra keeps trucking along happily. Maybe go back to building cars like that Nissan?
Mine too!
Most likely they’re done. Is there enough value in the brand? I don’t think so, if there was a Chinese buyer might be found but what is there to gain?
Is kinda funny how Nissan was in this Position before, they hired Carlos Goshn to wrangle them out of the position.
They got rid of Goshn, and now they face the same problem again.
Going in with renault was a death move..
Sandy Munro said incumbent manufacturers are doomed some time ago. It's happening. Looking for a new car after my model x is due back off lease. My local Nissan franchise doesn't have a Aria to test drive, and said they are unlikely to get one any time soon!
This is a bit harsh but if Nissan is really that close to bankruptcy or acquisition, that's really sad. They were a great auto company once upon a time, and (IMHO) still make some great vehicles. The Rogue crossover is one of the top vehicles in its class in the U.S. I don't understand why they don't release the EV-generator version in the U.S.; it might sell pretty well. We have a Leaf that's a really nice, affordable little EV and we love it. Anyway, I hope they pull through this, one way or the other. Probably will have to partner with another big auto maker to survive.
They should have released the Qashqai as an ev.its a very popular small crossover
Desperate times for car manufacturers. Nissan and Renault had actually adopted and embraced EV tech too. Governments are to blame and there will be a reckoning.
When your most outstanding car is called Godzilla, you know you are a dinosaur.
I hope they sell it off as 2 different companies with some IP intact.
Particularly its European operation.
Meantime Ghosn is having cocktail for all Auto executive. Bring your name card.
You might meet some interesting people.
If Honda bought Nissan and Mitsubishi, this could lead to a Japanese general motors? You know what I mean a company with multiple brands that cater to different market needs and what about infinity and Acura?
As a Nissan and Infiniti fan from 1981 and 1989 respectively that was difficult to watch and listen to.
I hope the Nissan and Infiniti name still continue.
I'm deeply saddened 😔
