Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tl*the contact owns a 1998 nissan altima. While driving 55 MPH the contact stated that the driver side sun visor had fallen down and blocked the contacts view. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the sun visor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 135000 and the current mileage was 147000.
Windshield wiper control assembly fell apart on the drivers side. The only wiper that works is passenger side now. It was snowing hard and almost caused a accident on i81 in syracuse. I removed assembly and inspected it. Which looks like the cause was lack of grease in the ball and socket joint of control linkage.
Windshield was struck by a rock and caused bits of glass to shatter onto driver and passenger. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and were not concerned with problem. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
