ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE HAS HEAVY FOGGING OF PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WHICH HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY EVIDENT. THE SYMPTOM HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THE FORM OF FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS AND INCONSISTENT DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS WHEN THE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE WET ENOUGH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ONE PHOTO I HAVE TAKEN REVEALS WHAT IS AN APPARENT INTERNAL CRACK IN THE ASSEMBLY. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANY EXTERNAL FORCES, IMPACT, ETC. IT IS INTERNAL TO THE ASSEMBLY.

SERVICE BRAKES
I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN STARTING MY CAR AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR ONLY FROM A LOW SPEED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALER, MARTIN NISSAN IN SKOKIE IL. THE DEALER REPORTED A FLUID LEAK AND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BUT STILL OBSERVED THAT THERE WAS STILL A LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR WHICH RESOLVED THE BRAKE PRESSURE ISSUE. THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BEFORE ON THIS VEHICLE, ONCE UNDER NHTSA SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 16V193000 AND ONCE UNDER NHTSA SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 16V636000.
