2016 Nexus Ghost: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2016 Nexus Ghost
Only 3 defect reports have been filed with NHTSA about the 2016 Nexus Ghost, which is too few to compute mileage percentiles or a risk score. The reports reported other engine problem.
When each failure gets reported
Tick median reported mileage Solid middle half of reports Faint 10th to 90th percentile Colour how bad the failure is when it happens
How reports accumulate
Every report with an odometer reading, cumulative, from 0 to 200,000 miles. A curve that climbs early is a car with early problems, whatever its total.

Every reported failure mode
| Failure mode | System | Reports | With reading | 25th | Median | 75th | Per 1,000 | Typical repair | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Other engine problem | engine | 1 | 0 | — | — | — | 13.5 | $300–$4,000 | High |
| Other electrical problem | electrical | 1 | 1 | — | 10k | — | 13.5 | $250–$2,000 | Moderate |
| Other body or interior problem | body | 1 | 1 | — | 10k | — | 13.5 | $200–$2,000 | Moderate |
This year had no usable recall paperwork, so the fleet-size estimate is the median of other years of the same model. Repair costs are typical independent-shop ranges for the failure, not figures from these reports.

Other electrical problem
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 nexus ghost motorhome. While the vehicle was stationary, the five wires connected to the ground fog indicator (gfi) malfunctioned. The contact stated that the gfi caught fire due to the improper attachment wiring. The contact stated that there was a burning odor inside the vehicle. The contact was an independent mechanic and removed the face plate and faulty wires out of the wall to prevent a potential fire. The contact indicated that the walls of the bathroom were hot to touch and approximately six inches of the wires within the gfi were burnt. A fire report was not filed. There were no injuries sustained. In addition, on july 9, 2018, the rv's outdoor 130 lb awning became detached from the side of the vehicle and fell onto the ground, nearly crushing the contact. A dealer was not made aware of the failures. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures via email. The failure mileage was approximately 10,300. *dt*jb *dt*jb

Every year of the Nexus Ghost
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
What the reports on file say
The complaints recorded against the 2016 Nexus Ghost are other engine problem (1 report), other electrical problem (1 report, around 10k miles) and other body or interior problem (1 report, around 10k miles). With a sample this size these are anecdotes rather than a pattern, and they are shown because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see them than nothing.
Why this page is short
A model year needs about 8 reports before percentiles mean anything, and this one does not have them. Complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so a thin page usually means a rare car, a new car, or a car whose owners do not file.
Where this comes from. Every figure above is computed from NHTSA owner complaints and recall records for this exact make, model and year. Complaints are voluntary and self-selected, so treat counts as a floor. The methodology page writes out each formula, and the same numbers are available as JSON.
