ON NOVEMBER 12, 2020 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LEAVING FROM MY JOB SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT ON NOVEMBER 14,2020 TO GET THE CAR SERVICE. I WENT TO THE NISSAN CAR DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH THE SALESMAN IN REFERENCE TO MY VEHICLE AND THE PERSON STATED I HAVE WATER IMMERSED IN MY TAIL LIGHT IS WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON AND IF I DON'T GET THE PROBLEM FIX THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I ASKED IF I GET THE PROBLEM FIX WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN THE ANSWER WAS YES DO TO THE MODEL AND MAKE ON MY VEHICLE I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

MOISTURE GETS INTO THE SEALED TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES CAUSING A SHORT WHICH THEN CAUSES THE COMPUTER TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT THINKS YOU HAVE APPLIED THE BRAKES. THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY CAUSE THE TAILLIGHTS TO FAIL AND MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION ISSUES RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE AND WAS UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO GET IT TO STOP WHILE NEARLY HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE LOW LIGHTS ALSO HAVE TO AVAILABLE SETTINGS BUT ONE DOESN'T WORK SO IT STAYS THE SAME NO MATTER WHICH ONE YOU PUT IT ON. ALSO WHY WOULD I HAVE AN OIL LEAK AT 35,000 MILES. MY WHOLE TRANSMISSION APPARENTLY NEEDED TO BE CHANGED DUE TO A BROKEN OR MISSING CAP.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I RENTED A 2012 VERSA HATCHBACK THIS WEEK. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE I DISCOVERED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS WERE NOT WORKING. I REPORTED THIS TO THE RENTAL AGENCY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE INDICATORS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND FOUND THAT IT HAD NO TURN OR HIGH BEAM INDICATORS. THESE ARE BASIC SAFETY DEVICES TO INFORM THE DRIVER OF THE THESE FUNCTIONS. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON US ROADWAYS. ACCORDING TO WHAT I READ IN A DOCUMENT PUBLISHED BY THE U. S. DOT THESE ARE REQUIRED, SO I WONDER HOW THESE VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED IN THE U.S. THE DOCUMENT IS PUBLICATION NUMBER TP-108-13. PLEASE ADVISE ABOUT THIS.

INTERIOR LIGHTING

THE SIDE PANELS ON BOTH FRONT DOORS OF OUR FOUR DOOR SEDAN DO NOT ILLUMINATE, SO AT NIGHT WE CANNOT LOCATE THE UNLOCK/LOCK TABS (OR THE POWER WINDOW TABS). BECAUSE OF THIS OF LACK OF ILLUMINATION, WHENEVER IT IS DARK WE ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE UNLOCK TABS, THUS INHIBITING OUR ABILITY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCY, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND SAFELY. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SIDE PANELS DO LIGHT ON OUR OTHER 2012 VERSA, WHICH IS A HATCHBACK.) I HAVE WRITTEN THREE LETTERS AND SPOKEN TO FOUR NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVES---AND EACH SAYS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT RETRO-FIT THE DOOR PANELS AND THAT WE HAVE TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS CONCERN ON OUR OWN. BECAUSE ALL THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY ONCE THE CAR IS DRIVEN, I BELIEVE THAT THE UNLOCK/LOCK TABS NEED TO BE ILLUMINATED THAT DRIVER AND PASSENGER CAN QUICKLY SEE THE UNLOCK TABS SO WE CAN GET OUT OF THE CAR. WE ARE LITERALLY LOCKED INTO OUR CAR AND IN ACTUALITY CANNOT SEE TO GET OUT OF OUR CAR WHENEVER IT IS DARK.
