SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR STARTED TO MOVE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT WORK OR CLICK IN. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP WHEN PLACING IT IN NEUTRAL EITHER. MY CAR WOULD ONLY STOP AFTER PLACING IT IN PARK. LUCKILY NO MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. MY BRAKE PADS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, BRAKE FLUID IS FULL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CAN ALSO FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS WORRISOME AS THIS CAN BE FATAL IF I WAS DRIVING AT A FAST SPEED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF BRAKE FAILURE RESULTING IN DEATH OF OTHER NISSAN MODELS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ACID RAIN ETCHING ON THE WINDSHIELD SEVERELY IMPAIRS VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING TOWARD THE SUN IN MORNINGS AND AFTERNOON. THE SAME WAS TRUE FOR A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER I OWNED, BUT OTHER BRANDS I HAVE OWNED, INCLUDING A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA I CURRENTLY OWN, WERE AND ARE NOT AFFECTED BY ACID RAIN. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE UNIQUE TO NISSAN GLASS. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING TOWARD THE SETTING SUN, I NARROWLY MISSED A PEDESTRIAN ON A RURAL ROAD. I HAVE FILED TWO COMPLAINT REPORTS WITH NISSAN, INCLUDING ONE FOLLOWING THE NEAR-MISS TODAY. THE FIRST ONE WAS FILED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT NISSAN HAS NOT RESPONDED. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, NISSAN HAS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH GLASS THAT IS HYPERSENSITIVE TO ACID RAIN. AND SINCE NO OTHER VEHICLE BRANDS SEEMS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM, I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND IF YOU OPEN THE TRUNK VIA KEY OR BUTTON THE TRUNK DOOR WILL CLOSE BY ITSELF AFTER IT REACHES THE TOP . IF NOT PAID ATTENTION MAY CAUSE HEAD INJURIES.TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED A PART BUT THE FIX ONLY STAYED FOR 2- 3 MONTHS. THE CAR TRUNK IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD AND NISSAN IS JUST APPLYING PATCHES TO THE PROBLEM BUT NOT DOING A PERMANENT FIX.

AIR BAGS
NHTSA RECALL 16V-244 HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED DUE TO UNAVAILABILITY OF CORRECTIVE PARTS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT. THE RECALL DATES FROM 24MAY2016. ABOUT 15-20% OF THE TIME ADULT PASSENGERS ARE PRESENT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE OCS SYSTEM HAS DEACTIVATED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL NISSAN BE ALLOWED TO AVOID CORRECTIVE ACTION WHILE PASSENGERS IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE EXPOSED TO GREATER THAN NECESSARY RISK OF INJURY?
