Hello I purchased a new vehicle on the 4/28/2019 zero miles. When first buying the vehicle there were no problems. However after 4 to 5 months pass by I noticed my headlights are fading away as well as the paint of the vehicle and windshields. When taking the car to the dealership tthey said they cannot help me. They are claiming the damage is natural cause and want to charge me money to restore the headlights, paint, and windshield on a brand new car. I informed the dealership I came to buy a new car with zero problems including the headlights and paint and windows and still they denied me help. After informing them I lost visibility on the road do to the headlights not working the did not care. I'm scared driving at night, I can't see far do to the headlights and windshield not working properly and its nearly only been 6 month. When taking the vehicle to my makanick he informed me that my lights were polished including detailing of the paint and window before the vehicle was sold to me the vehicle was made to look new. He explained to me at 4 to 5 months the polish would removed and the car will be left looking like how it is know. After that event I came to realize I been scammed by the dealership and no one wanted to helped me. I looked for help for a month driving with blurry headlights and windshields. When I search for help on youtube and found your firm number.
The keyless entry fob is slightly sensitive. I financed the car on 3/10/2020. After taking a nap upon leaving the vaccination clinic for tetna adult shot, I slept from around 6pm-142am in a wooded area parking spot at a local park and when I woke up, my car doors were unlocked and my driver side window was open a little and I had it raised and was sure to lick the door prior to going to sleep. Then on 3/11/2029, I went to the convenience store for a pit stop when I arrived back to the car, the trunk was open and when I got out if the car I was sure to look at it while hitting the lock and placed the key in my pocket.
Everytime I drive about 4 miles the front radar sensor gets disabled and displays a warning, this disabled the cruise and turns of automatic emergency braking, this is dangerous for me to drive with, I have taken the car to the dealership 3 times and its still happening, the dealership claims they fixed it but did not
The radio turns off and on by itself without the car being on. I have walked up to the car to hear it playing music. It happens randomly driving, not driving, and with no power to car. I am worried about my battery draining. Also, the air conditioner display is blank from time to time. Only the orange lights on the buttons are lit up. Sometime if I restart the car, it will come back on as if it is reset, other times it does not help. The display screen above the ac control panel freezes along with the display in between the speedometer from time to time. It seems as if the computer system does what it wants to and when it wants. I have not had the car for 6 months and it's already giving me problems. It was purchased at the end of September 2019 from a Nissan dealership, brand new with 4 miles on it.
I purchased my vehicle 4/2019 and taken it back to the dealer at least 4 times for other problems and they tell me there's nothing going on when they check it. I am now experiencing a new problem and I took it back to the dealer concerning the radio coming on and off when the car wasn't in use. When I would get into the car it wouldn't start and I would have to get it boosted to start. The battery keeps running down. I was told by the dealer that there has been other reports and that they are being told not to fix problem until Nissan further investigate the problem. They claimed to dismantled the radio to avoid the battery from running down but its still doing the same thing. Also it was stated I could to continue driving until they call it in for repairs and stated that they couldn't give me a time frame when it will be fixed. I wasn't offered a loaner and when I asked I was told they didn't have one available. I took it in 1/30/20 and picked it up 1/31/20.
