Wiper Problems of Nissan Leaf - part 2

During daylight hours, whether in the sun or in the shade, both side view mirrors show only the image of the dashboard. It is impossible to see anything other than the reflection of the dashboard unless you roll down the windows. If you email me I'll send you pics of this condition in both sun and shade. Neither the dealer nor the Leaf customer service people at Nissan seem to care. They claim there are comparatively few complaints.

Washer fluid nozzles spray aimed too low. Cannot clean windshield effectively. Only the lower portion of windshield is spray leaving the middle to top portion not clean. Very dangerous during winter as the salt from road will block vision. Wiper with poor sprayed fluid amount/location will only smear the windshield and cause poor visibility.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Leaf. The contact stated that the windshield washer sprays the rear edge of the hood and not the glass. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 2,500. The VIN was not available.

After stopping at an intersection, looking both ways and not seeing anybody, I started going through and crossing the street, then I suddenly come face-to-face with a pedestrian only inches from the side of the car! I almost hit someone, and the experience left me quite rattled. The problem is the pillar at the front left corner is at the worst possible position as it completely blocks the view of the far street corner, so I did not see the pedestrian who started crossing the street. Also, the pillar at the front right side completely blocks the view of the near street corner. I have since trained myself to consciously perform a crazy-looking maneuver to move my body to the left and to the right and back, at every intersection, to peek around the obstacle. I don't have to do this in any other vehicle. This car has exceptionally terrible visibility because of the location of the pillar, and it is very very dangerous. This needs to be redesigned immediately before it results in a pedestrian fatality. It almost did.
