NHTSA complaint #10142241, filed 2005-11, 129,000 miles“Stop light fuses have blown repeatedly since 9-9-98. Nissan performed a 95 Quest harness campaign recall on 12-28-98. However, the stop light fuse blew again sometime in february. I don't know exactly when because there is no warning light to alert driver to this dangerous condition. I learned of it only when an angry driver nearly rear ended me at a stop light. Faulty stop lights are very dangerous since there is no warning light. On march 2, 1999 I returned the car and the company has determined they cannot find and fix the problem. They say it has nothing to do with the recall. …”
