The smog rating scores tailpipe pollutants other than greenhouse gases, 1 (worst) to 10 (best), and is comparable only within a model year. The standard is the federal bin or California tier the configuration was certified to. Both come from the EPA certificate behind the window sticker.
The cheapest ownership win
Insurers price the 2024 Ariya very differently, and the gap between the best and worst quote on the same car and driver is usually larger than any option you are weighing on this page.

In owners' own words
Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, one per problem area. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed.
The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Ariya. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle, there was a whining and ringing sound coming from the vehicle. There was a grinding sound while making a hard turn. The dealer was contacted to return the vehicle. While driving, there was an abnormally loud bang.
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
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.
The car was purchased new from the Nissan dealer at the end of Dec 2024 with 100miles, and currently has 5,798 miles on the odometer. The 12v battery failed, unable to be charged and hold a charge, this disabled the the EV from starting and functioning.
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%
1/18/2025 EV SYSTEM SHOT OFF, Car is totally malfunction, can't accelerate and stop in the middle of FWY-15, CA, Can't turn it back on. We are at speed 70-80 mph and no warning, suddenly the EV System shut off, only take 3-5 second and fully stop in the middle of I-15 FWY at Barstow, CA. Had AAA tow service and front camera clip.

From the manufacturer’s own filing
The reporting entity’s narrative as NHTSA published it, with anything identifying removed and nothing added. A narrative is a notice, written before the entity had verified what happened.
On the morning of March [redacted], 2026, at approximately 11:46 a.m., a WeRide autonomous vehicle (Vehicle 1) was traveling along [redacted] in San Jose, California, proceeding straight in the second lane from the left as it approached the intersection with [redacted].
A report under the General Order is a notice the manufacturer or operator must file within days of hearing of a crash in which a Level 2 driver-assist or automated-driving system was engaged within 30 seconds of impact. It is filed before anything is verified, and entities with telematics hear of far more crashes than entities that rely on complaints, so counts say as much about the reporting as about the car and are not comparable across makes.

A service bulletin is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a known condition. It is not a recall, not a finding that the vehicle is defective, and the work is not automatically free — though a bulletin is often what a dealer works from when you describe a symptom, so quoting the document number can save a diagnosis. The count is every communication filed; the list shows the most recent, one entry per campaign, because a single campaign is usually filed as several documents on the same day. The summaries are NHTSA's; the full documents come from the manufacturer.
Diagnostic trouble codes on file
Source: NHTSA manufacturer communications and complaintsCodes documented against this model year in the federal record. A code appearing here does not mean this vehicle will set it — it means the code is part of this nameplate-year's documented history.
| Code | What it means | Most often filed under | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1A16 C1A16 on Nissan → | Manufacturer-defined — the meaning is set by the automaker, not the standard. | Electrical System · Battery → | 1 bulletin |
| C2582 | Manufacturer-defined — the meaning is set by the automaker, not the standard. | Electrical System · Battery → | 1 bulletin |
Generic codes (the second character is 0 or 2) mean the same thing on every vehicle sold in the United States. Manufacturer-specific codes (1 or 3) mean whatever the automaker assigned, and no honest source can define them for you — which is why the ones here carry the evidence instead of a definition. A code is a link when enough separate federal documents name it across the catalogue to be worth a page of its own; the rest are listed here, where the vehicle is the context that makes them mean something.

At the New York inspection station
Source: New York State DMVIn New York’s inspection lanes over the 12 months to Oct 10, 2026, the 2024 Nissan Ariya failed the safety inspection on 0.34% of first inspections — lower than the 0.74% for every 2024 model-year vehicle inspected.

| Average odometer | 14,207 | 21,104 | odometer at inspection |
Electric vehicles get no emissions test in New York, so the safety inspection is the record here. First inspections only, so a car that failed and came back is counted once; private and special plates, not taxis, livery or commercial plates. A rate appears only where at least 200 inspections stand behind it. “Every 2024 vehicle” is every 2024 model-year car, SUV and pickup inspected in the same window, all makes. This is the state’s record of test results, not a reliability score by itself. Source: New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, Vehicle Inspections (data.ny.gov, Open NY terms).
Ariya by model year
all years, side by side →Common questions about the 2024 Ariya
Source: EPA, NHTSA and manufacturer press kitsHow much does the 2024 Nissan Ariya cost?
Manufacturer pricing runs from $39,590 for the Engage FWD to $54,190 for the Platinum+ e-4ORCE 19" Wheels AWD, across 9 trims. Those are MSRPs from the manufacturer's own press material; they exclude destination, options, taxes and whatever the dealer adds. Every trim and price is listed above.
Does the 2024 Nissan Ariya have any recalls?
No NHTSA recall campaigns are on file for the 2024 Nissan Ariya. New campaigns appear here within a week of NHTSA posting them, and a clean sheet on a recent model year often just means the vehicle is new.
How safe is the 2024 Nissan Ariya?
NHTSA gave the 2024 Nissan Ariya 5 stars overall in its New Car Assessment Program tests — 4-star frontal crash, 5-star side crash, 4-star rollover. WhichTrim also grades it A (100/100) on its recall record, which is a different question from crash protection.
What is the fuel economy of the 2024 Nissan Ariya?
Across the 7 EPA-rated configurations of the 2024 Nissan Ariya, the longest EPA range is 304 miles on a charge. Figures are the EPA's own, per configuration, and every one is listed above.
What do owners complain about on the 2024 Nissan Ariya?
Owners have filed 8 complaints with NHTSA about the 2024 Nissan Ariya, most often about electrical system, fuel/propulsion system, power train. Complaints are unverified owner reports, so treat the pattern as a signal and the individual report as an anecdote.
How clean is the 2024 Nissan Ariya?
The EPA smog rating for the 2024 Nissan Ariya is 10 out of 10. That score covers tailpipe pollutants other than greenhouse gases, and it only compares vehicles within the same model year. It is certified for all fifty states, so it can be registered new anywhere in the U.S. Its configurations were certified to different standards — California ZEV, Federal Tier 3 Bin 0 — which the table above lists per configuration.
Are there service bulletins for the 2024 Nissan Ariya?
The manufacturer has filed 25 service bulletins and related communications with NHTSA for the 2024 Nissan Ariya, most often covering electrical system, forward collision avoidance, visibility/wiper. The most recent is dated 2026-04-22. A bulletin is not a recall: it is the repair procedure a manufacturer sends its dealers for a condition it knows about, and the work is not automatically paid for. It is still worth knowing — if the symptom matches, quoting the bulletin number at the service desk can save a diagnosis. The document numbers and summaries are listed above.
How does the 2024 Nissan Ariya do at state inspection?
In New York’s inspection lanes over the 12 months to Oct 10, 2026, the 2024 Nissan Ariya failed the safety inspection on 0.34% of first inspections — lower than the 0.74% for every 2024 model-year vehicle inspected. The figures are New York State DMV’s own inspection records, first inspections only, and the table above sets each one against every vehicle of the same model year.
Which 2024 Nissan Ariya trim is the best value?
$14,600 separates the cheapest of the 9 trims from the most expensive, so the answer depends on which of the differences you would actually use. Every trim has its own page here with the manufacturer's full specification and equipment list, plus a short summary of exactly what it adds over the base trim — worth reading before a dealer frames the walk-up for you. The trim-by-trim ladder shows what every step up costs and what it makes standard.
What we hold, and what an empty row means
Paid vehicle-history reports will not tell you the difference between “nothing happened to this car” and “we never received that record” — both of the big two say as much in their own help pages.

| Emission certificates | 7 configurations | EPA emission certificates | Smog rating, standard and the sales area that decides where the car can be sold new. |
| Recalls | none | NHTSA recall campaigns | No campaign has been filed. Because the register is complete, an empty row here means there is nothing to find — not that we are missing it. |

Sources & method
Safety Signal starts every model-year at 100 and subtracts points per open NHTSA recall campaign by severity: critical 15 (fire risk, park-outside or do-not-drive advisories), high 8 (brakes, steering, airbags, loss of drive power, structure, battery), moderate 6, minor 3 (software, labels, lighting fixed by an update). The most serious recall counts in full and each further one counts 85% of the one before, because a vehicle sold in millions is recalled more often than a rare one without being more dangerous — and because a flat subtraction bottomed the scale out, scoring a vehicle with 22 recalls within a point of one with six. A ≥ 90, B ≥ 80, C ≥ 70, D ≥ 60, otherwise F. Read it as what it counts: recall campaigns on the federal record, weighted by severity. The damping reduces the sales bias by roughly 40% but does not remove it: like our complaint counts, this is not normalized by how many were sold, so a best-seller still scores somewhat worse than an obscure model with the same real risk. NHTSA crash ratings, do-not-drive and park-outside advisories, and the crash, fire, injury and death counts in owner complaints are reported separately on every page and never blended into the letter — a vehicle can hold five stars and a poor letter at once, and where that happens we say so rather than leave you to notice. Because the scale subtracts from a clean sheet, a model year too new to have been recalled, complained about or bulletined scores full marks on an empty record; we label those grades provisional rather than present them as earned.
EPA figures come from fueleconomy.gov vehicle records. Recalls, complaints, investigations and crash ratings come from NHTSA's public flat files, refreshed nightly. Trim-level specifications and pricing are transcribed from the manufacturer's official press kit; every value carries its source in the data file.
