The power on the dashboard goes out and I have no way of knowing my speed, the milage, or any other information on how the vehicle is operating. The radio and other dashboard instruments are off the screens are black and I can't receive any information on how the vehicle is operating. Our safety is at risk since when this happens, we don't know if it would stop abruptly and cause an accident. We have not taken it to a dealer yet but are scheduling an appointment. No other parties have inspected the vehicle yet. The warning that came across the radio screen was this: check the map sd memory card please see the owner's manual in detail set: qy8100na application: 102 sno: 00010697 application: 107 e-code: nk-sd-11 this first happened in the later part of March on the 28th of this year. The dash does this off and on thing randomly and sometimes it runs fine. The owner's manual didn't help.
The headlights are dim. I have replaced them with brighter h11 bulbs but I still cannot see. Others who have driven my car have indicated that the headlights are noticeably dimmer than normal. I literally cannot see the roadway. Also, I started having problems with the cvt shortly before 60,000miles. The problem was diagnosed as rudder codes. I was not financially able to replace the cvt at the time although I did ultimately replace it. The headliner inside the car has been falling down for years and I keep re gluing it around the rear view window. The panoramic sunroof has a seal that is melting away on the two side panels at the rear of the car. I keep trying to seal them, but they keep getting sticky and melting towards total deterioration.
Passenger headlamp fail, took to Nissan, they claim they have never seen one fail. I feel like my families life is now at stake.
Passenger running light quit working, headlamp itself works. Took to local Nissan dealer. They told me they have never seen one just fail. Definitely a safety hazard if they are just failing.
Vehicle headlamp failed according to the Nissan dealer we took it to. They claimed they have never seen one fail. Now I'm freaked out to drive car thinking about what if the other fails completely. They will do nothing to fix it. Its a major safety issue. I don't want to get into a wreck if the headlamps fail on both sides. They are putting myself and daughter at risk.
