Wiper problem #1

My vehicle (VIN 1n4bz0cp1hc302064) remains listed as subject to a recall on the NHTSA website even though the remedy/repair was executed on April 3, 2023 by an authorized dealer/service center: Nissan of downtown la.

Wiper problem #2

When turning left the visibility is very poor for a 5' 1" driver. The double "a" pillar and large side view mirror block the driver's visibility and caused an accident. Several other people also complained about the visibility almost causing accidents on a Leaf blog website. The accident happened when turning left at a busy intersection and an old lady fell because the Leaf driver did not see the pedestrian soon enough due to poor visibility on a clear day around noon. The Leaf had stopped waiting for 3 vehicles to pass before making the left turn at a slow speed but the large double "a" pillar and large side mirror blocked the driver's view.
