Dt*: the contact stated when it rained; the front windshield wipers would not clear the rain water off the windshield while traveling 35 MPH, as they did not come into complete contact with the windshield. There was a the federal safety agency recall # 98v093000, for visibility: windshield/washer: linkages found on the manufacturers website. The service dealer and manufacturer refused to provide recall service as the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. Updated 11/30/2006 -

I have a 1996 nissan sentra gxe. Vin number is 3n1ab41d0tl0xxxxx. There are three open recalls on my vehicle: 1. Visibility:windshield wiper/washer:linkages 2. Suspension:front:springs:coil springs 3. Exterior lighting:tail lights none of the nissan dealers in my area have offered to fix any of these recall issues for free (as is required by federal and state law). My vehicle still has these safety defects in it and I don't know what to do about it because I know that nissan is ultimately responsible for fixing these recall defects.

12/28/04...I was driving on 2nd ave in troy, ny, it began to snow/rain...turned on my wipers and that is when I heard a snap noise and then my drivers side windshield wiper arm seemed to be broken. I took it to my mechanic the very next morning and they said it was broken, that a plastic piece snapped off. It was a dealership item, but that it is a nissan recall item. My mechanic printed out the recall info and I went to the nissan dealer in latham, ny. I was very upset when they told me that the part is a back order part and would not be in until sometime in january of 2005. Meanwhile, I have to go to work and can't drive in the rain, snow, sleet, hail. When I asked why they couldn't fedex the part the dealership in latham told me it is because it is a back-order item. I asked them if they could loan me a car due to the fact that it is a recall item. They told me they didn't know and then promised I would hear from them the same day in a little while, they had to wait on an answer from someone. I never heard back, so I called them. They said they could get me a rental car, but I had to pay for it. I was very upset because first of all, this defect is not my doing. Second, I can end up with no job if I can't get to my job. That is the entire problem, no car to go to work with if it rains or snows while waiting on nissan for the part on back order. The name and address of the dealership is: nemith motor corp., route 9, box 669, latham, ny 12110. Ph: 1‑800‑395‑0798.
