2012 Nissan Versa Lighting Problems

ON NOVEMBER 12, 2020 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LEAVING FROM MY JOB SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT ON NOVEMBER 14,2020 TO GET THE CAR SERVICE. I WENT TO THE NISSAN CAR DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH THE SALESMAN IN REFERENCE TO MY VEHICLE AND THE PERSON STATED I HAVE WATER IMMERSED IN MY TAIL LIGHT IS WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON AND IF I DON'T GET THE PROBLEM FIX THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I ASKED IF I GET THE PROBLEM FIX WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN THE ANSWER WAS YES DO TO THE MODEL AND MAKE ON MY VEHICLE I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

MOISTURE GETS INTO THE SEALED TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES CAUSING A SHORT WHICH THEN CAUSES THE COMPUTER TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT THINKS YOU HAVE APPLIED THE BRAKES. THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY CAUSE THE TAILLIGHTS TO FAIL AND MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION ISSUES RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORANGE COAST NISSAN (2850 HARBOR BLVD, COSTA MESA, CA 92626), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.
