The rearview camera stopped working. It works intermittently when backing up (<10%), but otherwise just shows a black screen for the rear backup camera. No warning lamps. As a result the rear blind spot warning does not work, posing a risk to kids or pedestrians crossing behind me. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone at this point but a service appointment is scheduled. It is available for inspection.

The back up camera does not work half of the time. When the car is put in reverse, the screen in the console shows only black. Because the car has many blind spots and a small back window, this makes backing up difficult. The other day I almost ran over my neighbors kid and I was being extra cautious. Every time we've taken the car to the dealership for repair the camera start working again. Other Nissan Leafs from this same year were recalled for a similar issue, but ours was not. Nissan needs to expand the recall to more vehicles. We have picture evidence that the camera does not work, but because the dealership can't replicate the issue they will not cover the cost of repair even though this problem is identical to issues from a previous recall.

Today I received a recall notice - 22v0-048 - regarding the defrosting and defogging systems. As currently programmed, the defroster limits visibility out of the windshield under cold conditions. The solution proposed by Nissan is reminiscent of the Apollo 13 instructions, complicated and difficult to follow by normal humans. Rather than actually reprogram the defrosting system, Nissan is resolving the recall by issuing inane instructions. This should not be allowed.

When using android auto in the infotainment, one cannot see the climate (HVAC) status, so it creates a dangerous distraction to adjust the heating/air conditioning, fan speed, defrost, etc. When in normal menus and an adjustment is made to the climate settings, it is displayed on the top of the screen in a banner. This is the only place where this information is visible, and generally works fine. However, when using android auto, this banner does not activate and is not visible. As a result, changing the climate settings involves multiple touchscreen interactions in addition to using the physical controls. This could and should be updated via a software update. I will also make a youtube video showing the problem for further illustration.

When the windshield is foggy, and you are in traffic, it will not properly defrost causing a serious visibility problem.

When the vehicle is in stop and go or heavy traffic, the air conditioning system throttles itself back to conserve power in the traction battery. Combined with the fact there are no rear seat vents (either in the console or the floor), it gets dangerously hot in the vehicle, especially in the back of the vehicle. According to Nissan, usa, this is the design of the vehicle. Temperatures of over 100 degrees have been recorded in my daughter's car seat while in traffic with the air conditioning hardly running or running at a very low power. According to Nissan, this is the only way they can meet their advertised epa range. Another area this problem effects is that when the windshield is foggy, and you are in traffic, it will not properly defrost causing a serious visibility problem. I have multiple videos of all of this. I contacted Nissan but they claim that the car is operating as designed. I am contacting the BBB lemon law section. My local representative has asked me to file a NHTSA complaint as they feel this is a serious safety issue.
