Nissan’s notice further states this condition can cause the rear-view image to be blank even when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, and that the loss of the rear-view image during backing may increase the risk of a crash or injury to a person behind the vehicle. The defect in my vehicle is not isolated to the display screen only. Based on my direct experience while operating the vehicle, the infotainment/ivi defect appears to be interconnected with other vehicle systems and has also caused the vehicle to lose power and lock itself into 4-wheel drive/all-wheel drive mode on its own while being driven. This creates a serious safety risk because the vehicle can unexpectedly lose normal operating power, change drivetrain behavior without driver command, impair driver control, and create a roadway hazard during active operation. The safety risk is significant. The rearview camera, surround-view camera,.
