5 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2019

I have a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. I had my transmission changed under warranty after two years and 8 months later I've started to have acceleration problems and the break lights stay on after the vehicle is turned off. Usually after a complete stop or yielding I can push the gas pedal to the floor and nothing will happen for several seconds. I actually thought the car turned off the first time it happened. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't duplicate the issue. One week later the same thing happened again. This time I called Nissan corporation and was provided a case number and told to take it back to the dealer. The dealer had the car for 4 days and once again stated they couldn't find anything. Two days after picking the car up, it did the exact same thing. Once again I called Nissan corporation and left them a message. I called the dealer and was surprised that they told me I couldn't bring the car in, because they can't duplicate the problem. I submit this is a safety concern that should force Nissan to recall all vehicles affected with no acceleration.

6 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2017

Washing my car this past summer,the head lamp lense covers shattered. The lenses are still in tack . The light beams are distorted,the headlamps are not as bright. I took my car in for a oil change and the dealer handed me a service bulletin from Nissan [refernce ntb17-045,classification el17-015]. I contacked Nissan to no avail,the dealership offered to replace lenses at my expense. I dont feel this is right! vehicle was not in motion.
