2006 Nissan Maxima Visibility & Wipers Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, SHE TURNED ON THE HEAT AND ONLY COLD AIR BLEW THROUGH THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE VENTING SYSTEM WAS FLUSHED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEATING CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH A FEATURE THAT ALLOWS THE SIDE MIRRORS TO TILT DOWN WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE FEATURE IS ACTIVATED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR, THE MIRROR DOES NOT ADJUST PROPERLY BACK TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, WHICH MAY HINDER DRIVERS VIEW, POSSIBLY CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MIRROR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THE REPLACED MIRROR BEGAN EXHIBITING SAME PROBLEM AS THE DEFECTIVE MIRROR.RETURNED VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN TWICE AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY, PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR BEGAN ADJUSTING ON ITS OWN TO A POINT WHERE I COULD NOT SEE VEHICLES ALONGSIDE THE RIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN PLACED IN REVERSE! RETURNED VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN, THEY DETERMINED THAT MIRROR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT AT MY EXPENSE, BECAUSE WARRANTY EXPIRED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

THERE IS AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD. MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT ON DEPTH PERCEPTION. *JB
