| Exterior Lighting problems |
When the sun is out and there is no clouds obscuring the sunlight my vehicle has night time lights running, dimming the interior of my car making it difficult to see the speed and other dashboard requirements while perfectly bright and sunny outside and 0800am as well as 1500pm. This has been going on for two months and I took it in to two dealerships. One told me check your manual and the other went further and told me "by Nissan standards it is functioning normally. " this doesn't make sense to me as the sun is out, it isn't dark or dim and yet when on automatic lighting my night lights, not my normal running lights,,are on and causing me unable to see what's on my dash. Also whe. The sun is hitting the front of my car my nissas blinks the collision indicator showing it won't do it as something is obstructing it but this happens when the sun is directly pointing in certain areas of the sky. More so early morning and late evening just as the sun is rising and falling.
The air conditioning turns off by itself and the high beams don't work.
The car continues to turn off and draining the battery, on the audio there is a constant static, and lights keep shorting out.
Headlights turn off at night while driving and in most cases will still not work after moving the headlight switch or power cycling the switch. Have to shut down and restart multiple times for headlights to work. This problem affects the low beam lights and not the high beams or parking lights as they continue to work and function with the switch. Has happened 3 nights in a row returning from work in the dark.
Car will not start. Unexplained battery depletion. Trunk will not close when car is not on. Awful customer service at orr Nissan in shreveport louisiana address: 1240 e bert kouns, shreveport louisiana, 71105 their entire operations need to be shut down. Bunch of incompetent druggies.
Only happens when driving at night. When driving and keeping your foot on the gas pedal the lights go dim and when you remove your foot of the gas pedal the lights go back to bright. Also the engine is making a rattling noise. Was seen a couple times at the dealership for the lights but was told nothing wrong with it. Its not normal for lights to do that whole driving on the road. Especially for a brand new car that has only gotten 15,000 miles.
