2025 Nissan Ariya Common Problems by Component
7 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
5 complaintsOwners report frequent issues with the 2025 Nissan Ariya's electrical system, particularly during charging sessions at DC fast chargers. Multiple complaints describe the vehicle failing to charge properly, displaying an "EV System Off" message, and becoming inoperable, necessitating towing. These incidents often occur at low mileages, with reports at approximately 764 to 11,377 miles. Additionally, some owners mention problems with the forward collision warning system, including warning lights and cruise control deactivation. Safety implications are noted as vehicles become undriveable without warning, potentially leaving drivers stranded. These patterns suggest potential reliability concerns for used car buyers considering this model.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1 complaintThe entire digital instrument cluster, including the radio cluster has gone blank at least 5 or 6 time while the car is still driving. I feel that this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed. I am going to contact the dealership to see if they can figure out the problem.
STRUCTURE
1 complaint2025 Nissan Ariya We were driving on the highway with no cars in front of us. The moonroof shattered with a loud bang. No rocks were observed since there were no cars in front of us and a tree line between the traffic in the opposite direction. Moon roof did not crack but rather exploded into thousands of tiny pieces covering the driver's face, hair, hands and body. Passenger seat was unoccupied but it was covered in thousands of pieces. Manufacturers should not make glass that is not laminated and will shatter like that. Since we did not observe the rock, we are questioning if this is a manufacturing defect. The glass seems to have exploded outwardly and not inside of the vehicle. You can see the edges of the glass facing up on the pictures.

How We Calculate Reliability Scores
Auto Reliability Index scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale using a weighted formula that combines multiple public data sources. Each factor is weighted based on its predictive value for real-world ownership experience.
Key Ranking Factors
Complaint Severity
NHTSA owner complaints weighted by component category (e.g., powertrain, safety systems, electronics, cosmetic) — safety-critical issues carry more weight than cosmetic ones. Adjusted for sales volume so high-volume models aren't unfairly penalized.
Repair Costs
Independent reliability ratings based on repair frequency, average repair costs, and severity of typical repairs for each model.
Recall Impact
Number of NHTSA recalls weighted by severity. “Stop driving” and fire-risk recalls are penalized more heavily than minor software or labeling recalls.
Issue Diversity
Measures how many major vehicle systems (engine, transmission, electrical, braking, etc.) have recorded complaints. A vehicle with issues spread across many systems may indicate systemic quality issues.
Scores are grouped into four tiers:
- 80–100: Excellent— Top-tier reliability, minimal issues
- 60–79: Good— Reliable with some minor concerns
- 40–59: Mixed— Notable issues, research before buying
- 0–39: Risky— Significant problems, proceed with caution
Data is sourced from NHTSA recall records, owner complaint filings, and independent repair databases. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available. While the weighting model is proprietary, all underlying data sources are public and traceable.
