What this means for buyers

Year 2 is typically a safer pick than the first model year — early issues are more likely to be identified, but the platform is still new.

If you're comparing prices, check 2023 (redesign year) vs 2024+ pricing and recalls.

Should You Buy the 2024 Nissan Ariya?

Reliability is a strength here. Owner complaints and federal recall records place this year well above average among 2024 SUVs and first among the four Ariya model years scored. It has no recalls and a 5 of 5 star federal crash-test rating. The 2023 fared worse, with 39 complaints and 4 recalls, while the 2025 rates about the same.

Just 6 complaints are on file, and the main pattern is electrical. Two owners, both on low-mileage cars, lost normal drive power without warning. One had an EV system failure at the start of a trip, leaving the car creeping sluggishly. The other had a 12v battery that would not hold a charge. When it died, the EV system would not start even with charge left in the main battery, and getting into Neutral for a flatbed tow was difficult.

Ask the seller whether the 12v battery has been tested or replaced, and for any record of EV system faults. The 2025 is a fair alternative, though it has had less time to collect complaints.

Compared to the 2025 Nissan Ariya, which scored the same. See also the 2023 Nissan Ariya for an earlier comparison.

Used Buying Checklist

Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2024 Nissan Ariya.

Have the 12v battery load-tested and confirm it holds a charge.
Power the car fully off and on several times and confirm the EV system starts with no warnings.
Test-drive long enough to confirm full, normal acceleration with no sluggish or reduced-power behavior.
Check the service records for 12v battery replacements, jump starts, or tows after a no-start.
Confirm the car shifts into Neutral normally while powered on, so it can be moved if it fails.

Car's backup camera doesn't engage, leaving the screen black. Dealer claimed it was fixed after a four hour visit, but the camera broke again the same day.

SEAT BELTS

1 complaint

2026-01-15

My infant daughter became stuck in the rear seat due to a seat belt malfunction in my Nissan Ariya Evolve. The seat belt buckle would not release even after repeated attempts to press the release button. We tried multiple times to unbuckle it normally, but it remained stuck and would not open. This created a serious safety situation, as my child was trapped and unable to be freed. Due to the emergency, we had no option but to cut the seat belt in order to safely remove our child. This is extremely concerning because seat belts are a critical safety feature, and failure to release can pose a serious risk, especially in emergencies where immediate evacuation is required. The vehicle has since been taken to a Nissan service center, but they are claiming this is not a defect and are charging approximately 1000 for repair. I am reporting this issue because a seat belt that fails to release is a major safety hazard, particularly involving a child occupant. This issue could potentially affect other vehicles and should be investigated.

While charging my vehicle, the charger failed to stop the charging session on command. I was unable to stop the charging session from the vehicle as well. I was therefore unable to move the vehicle for any reason (medical emergency or other urgent reason) until the state of charge reached 100%.
