I have had multiple issues with the electrical system in this van. Various lights will come on when I turn on the operating lights at night, but some will randomly not work. For example, the lights on the heater will sometimes come on if I push buttons up and down the panel, or turn the fan off and on. Sometimes I can get the lights on the am/fm cassette to come on if I push various buttons for the radio stations. The lights on the dashboard have gone out completely by degrees. I currently have a dark dashboard. These problems started happening the day I bought this vehicle used, and I took it back to somersworth Nissan (in somersworth, New Hampshire) where I bought it. But first they said they could not get the problem to happen, so I took it back exactly when it was happening once, and that time they said they could not fix the problems, that it must be electrical and would cost me a lot of money to figure out what is wrong and fix it. This dealership also forced me to purchasing a one year warranty on the vehicle, and when I tried to cancel the warranty within the time the contract allowed, they refused to allow me to cancel it, and said, so sue us!. they knew I was a single mom, who was trying to find a car that would accommodate my six children, and they knew I could not afford to take them to court. Since purchasing this car three years ago from somersworth Nissan in somersworth, New Hampshire, I have been made aware of many illegal and dirty business dealings with others.
Manufacturer refused to investigate why the consumer's vehicle stalled. The vehicle would stall without cause. The mechanics could not find the problem. The consumer request to be reimbursed for the repair costs, economic losses, and loss of transportation. Other problem are as followed: The engine would come on along with the vehicle dying out, output shaft leak, brake leakage, A/C did not blow cold, power antenna made noises when in use, the sunroof leaked water, right rear wheel leaked fluid, and there was leak coming form the left axle area. The service dealer found the positioning cable was not making connection and the fuse links did not make a connection, the A/C remained blowing cold after 2 hoses had been replaced. The A/C compressor was coming apart internally causing metal to release throughout the system.
The vehicle was being operated with the A/C on, car charger plugged in and the radio on. While driving 80 mph in the passing lane. When the consumer put a cd into the cd changer the vehicle lost all power. The consumer parked the vehicle on the shoulder of the highway. Two hours later the vehicle could be restarted.
