“The vehicle main computer is directly under the driver windshield. It rusted out and failed. Because it was totally unprotected and subject to rain,snow excessive heat, I had to have it replaced to the cost of $1,000. Completely preventable. I demand a refund and a recall notice issued. Thank you!”
NHTSA complaint #11023799, filed 2017-09, 115,000 miles“Nissan Quest cluster loses ability to moniter fuel and temperature , which caused me to run out of fuel while travelling at a speed of 55mph. After researching online I see there is a repair but how does the dealer not see an issue with this problem. The lcd screen essentially peel away from the screen due to heat or humidity . I see this as a danger and I feel it puts my family along with others in danger .”
