1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/26/2024

- front windshield; internal bubbles/separation of glass at top edge of front windshield as it meets the seal. - the glass appears to be separating internally, compromising the safety aspect and will start to spread downward over time. - the factory front windshield was already replaced once a few years back by Nissan dealership for this exact same problem (can provide exact dates/information later); and the same exact problem is happening again. Nissan dealership knows about it, but has not officially inspected/documented for their records, but I can get this completed. - no warning/symptoms other than visual inspection/noticing the issue occuring when cleaning car. - contacted Nissan consumer affairs about the problem, and that this is the second time of the exact problem, but Nissan consumer affairs would only state that Nissan could do nothing about the problem at this time, although this is a clear defect of the windshield manufacturing process. I provided pictures of the problem, and they wouldn't even address the problem, other than, Nissan can't do anything at this time about the problem. There is a Nissan TSB regarding windshield issues/defects, but also addresses warranty. The second replacement windshield is not in warranty, and asked Nissan to see if they could resolve the problem due to manufacturer defect and the fact that it may spread downward, causing more problems and/or safety stability of the top of the windshield and have an engineer or specialist look into it, they were not willing to do this.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/12/2022

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.
