    When the combination switch is used to actuate the windshield washer, the fluid continues to spray after it is released. Only pulling the switch down, and back up, will cause it to stop. This happens regardless of whether the vehicle is parked, or in motion. Occasionally the washers will spray upon starting the vehicle, only stopping with manipulation of the combination switch.

    My sunroof exploded randomly as i was driving home from taking my daughter to school at about 7:30 am on 10/23/2018. I was driving straight on a local highway going about 55 mph. I heard an extremely loud boom above my head. I pulled over in shock thinking that a bomb had gone off near me. I was confused and alarmed to find that my sunroof had completely shattered. There is no evidence of anything hitting my car.

    I was driving on i-49 in louisiana traveling at 70 mph when i hear a loud noise, like a gunshot. I realized my sunroof had shattered. The cover was open at the time so glass fell into my car, and in my lap/hair. I did get a few cuts on my hands from the glass. I don't think anything hit the sunroof, it shattered spontaneously. The dealership says i have to go through my insurance company to get it fixed.

    I purchased a used 2010 nissan sentra sl on july 5, 2014 from a nissan dealer. The very next day i discovered that when i moved the sun visor down to block the sun rays while driving, each time i moved the visor down or up it hit the rear view mirror. I needed to readjust the mirror before it was useful again. When the sun is just above the horizon it is particularly dangerous because it's impossible to set the…

    I am concerned about the safety of my vehicle due to the way it was designed. It is impossible to keep the front windshield from fogging up or icing up while driving in inclement weather. The defroster does not allow enough heat to blow on the windshield to keep it clear during driving, causing the driver's visibility to be obstructed and making it a safety hazard. Due to the fact there is not enough heated air…

    The windshield washer fluid does not get sprayed onto the windshield. Rather, the fluid sprays the base of windshield wiper and traps the liquid between the bottom of the blade and into the wiper well. Pinhead sized dots of fluid make it halfway up the windshield offering no fluid for the wipers to use to clean the window. After 4 good pulls, excess washer fluid drained from the wiper well and ran down the side of…
