2009 Nissan Versa electrical complaints

Difficulty reading speedometer) I have a 2009 nissan versa hatchback. This safety complaint is based on the fact that the quadrant ( zero to 40 miles) cannot be read during most daylight hours. The backlight provides a contrast sufficient to read the speedometer only during evening and low light periods. It appears this is a design problem because the speedometer face is set so far back that is it deprived of natural light and/or the back light is not strong enough to create a contrast. The quadrant (70 to 100 MPH) receives sufficient light to be read, but I never drive over 60 MPH. This is indeed a safety hazard because in strict speed zones, especially schools that use camera enforcement, I am forced to drive with one hand on the wheel and the right hand holding a flash light. I made a complaint to nissan and they advised they cannot do anything to correct the situation. I stress this design flaw on the part of nissan is a hazard to safe driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving 40 MPH during day light the contact noticed that the speedometer was difficult to see. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact was informed that the failure could not be serviced. The current and failure mileages were 6000.
Nissan versa 2009 sl ' hatchback - car accelerator was irresponsive when the car was put into drive or reverse. Regardless of how much gas pedal was pressed, the car just rolled forward at approximately 5 miles/hr and did not exceed that speed. Car's RPM did not exceed more than 1100 even after the gas pedal was pressed all the way against the floor. Finally, the car was towed and taken to the nissan dealer to diagnosis. The dealer told me that they were not able to properly diagnosed the vehicle. Once they received the car, they hooked it to the computer and found some defect in the computer code. Then they wiped the code (basically reset it) and drove the car around town for 3 days in an attempt to replicate the problem. However, car started driving just fine after that. The dealer did not repair any parts/electronics other than resetting the code and gave the car back to me saying that it was a computer code glitch.
