Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“If you have your light set in another position other than auto set, your break lights do not com on. I was getting ready to travel on a trip to Georgia from Texas. I pulled into a gas station when a lady pulled up beside me and said that your break lights are not working. Sure enough they were not working! After a while of checking the different lighting setting we found that the break lights only work in the automatic mode. This was reported to Clark Nissan at Abilene, Texas. They reported that they have found this to be true and found all of the Nissan cars in their lot worked like this. …”
