ON SATURDAY MORNING ON THE 8TH OF JUNE 2019, I WENT TO START MY CAR. AFTER I DID SO BOTH OF MY AIRBAG LIGHTS STAYED ON. EVEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP OF SOUTH STRAND NISSAN IN MYRTLE BEACH, SC ON JUNE 10, 2019 AND THEY SAID THERE COULD BE MULTIPLE REASONS FOR THE ISSUES, THAT I NEEDED TO GO AND HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE AGENTS NAKLME, AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO HAVE THEM FIX A PROBLEM THAT I HONESTLY BELIEVE SHOULD NEVER BE AN ISSUE IF TH3Y AND THE NHTSA DID THEIR JOB RIGHT WITH QUALITY/SAFETY CONTROL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING THAT CAUSES THE SURFACE TO BE EXTREMELY SHINNY WHICH IN RETURN WHEN THE SUNLIGHT GLARES THROUGH IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I DO KNOW THAT FLORIDA OWNERS WON A CASE AGAINST NISSAN TO HAVE THERE DASHBOARD REPLACED THAT COST THEM $250.00. BUT THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA STATES THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS IS ONLY 7 YEARS. I TALKED WITH AN ATTORNEY ABOUT TAKING ON A CASE AGAINST NISSAN TO HAVE OURS REPLACED, BUT NO TAKER BECAUSE OF THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT TEXAS HAS A PENDING SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THE RESIDENTS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS. I HAVE 2 PICTURES ATTACHED FOR YOUR REVIEW. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND I HOPE I HAVE AN ANSWER WITHIN 30 DAYS. THANK YOU.

THIS CAR IS DRIVEN ABOUT 5000 MILES PER YEAR. AT 5 YEARS/25000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY WHILE IN MOTION FAILED, LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. THAT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT 10 YEARS/50000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED AGAIN, AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION, LEAVING ME ONCE MORE STRANDED ON THE ROAD. THAT TRANSMISSION ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW 12 YEARS/60000 MILES AND TODAY THIS TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP AND MAKE A WHIRRING NOISE. (THIS IS THE DATE I HAVE USED BELOW)

DASHBOARD IS MELTING DUE TO HEAT AND SUN IN TEXAS. MELTING GLUE IS CREATING A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW THE WINDSHIELD. VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELY LIMITED. DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND CANNOT BE CLEANED OR WIPED OFF.

TAKATA RECALL MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING SINCE 2014. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED NISSAN AT THE TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD PAY 40% OF THE REPAIR. I TOLD THEM I WILL NOT PAY FOR AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ESPECIALLY WINCE THE TAKATA RECALL WAS SO PREVALENT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WOULD COST OVER $800.00 TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG (INFORMATION I CAN SEND YOU, IF NECESSARY). I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND WAS ALMOST IN 'T-BONED' BY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHO RAN A STOP LIGHT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND YOUR DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO ISSUE THE RECALL. SO I NOW AM ASKING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, SO I CAN FINALLY HAVE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACED. I DO REALIZE I AM NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST BUT I CAN SHOW DOCUMENTATION THAT THE AIRBAG HAS NOT FUNCTIONED IN OVER FOUR YEARS. I WILL GLADLY HELP IN ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED...
