| ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - WIRING - INTERIOR/UNDER DASH | |||
| 03/01/1997 | 50 | 01/01/1996 | |
| The complete dash light goes out -- sometimes blinking on and off... mostly off. this is very dangerous at night for the driver, especially because it is such a distraction with the blinking light, temporarily distoring vision. it has almost the same effect as a strobe light! nissan mechanics said nissan is fully aware of this problem but unwilling to pay for fix. totally unfair and unsafe for consumer. please make nissan accountable -- issue recall immediately. it may save a life (or more). | |||
