As a result, the car slowly moved forward and bumped a parked vehicle in front of me. No damage to either vehicle due to slow speed. No claim…

   In mid-XXX, my wife reported that all the warning lights (except CHECK ENGINE) lit up along with the warning sounds. The engine immediately started losing power. When car was pulled over, it sounded like a rough running engine and very little power. Since the first time, the issue has occurred a couple dozen of times. When the car is turned off for 30 seconds and turned back on, everything resets and there is no issue. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for this…

   Three out of the four door lock actuators have gone bad. It’s the front driver side door, rear driver side door, and rear passenger side door. That’s not normal wear and tear, that’s a defect and it’s a safety issue.

    When activating the right turn signal the windshield washers and wipers will turn on. Washers, wipers, and the turn signal all turn off when the turn signal is deactivated. This can cause some unexpected visibility issues while turning. Also, when turning the headlights from "Auto" to the "Off" position the windshield wipers will turn on. The wipers will stay on until you Switch back to "Auto". These problems are repeatable. I plan to contact the Nissan Dealer to see how…
