| Description of the problem | i just purchased a 2015 altima sv with the tech package. This include several safety features, but the one i wanted most was the blind spot warning system. I discovered in the first 2 weeks that when it was raining or the roads were wet, the bsw could give false alarms like a car was next to me, when there was no other cars near me. I brought the car to the dealer twice for this and on the second time, i was handed a bulletin that shows the issue. I was told by the dealer to contact nissan customer support for resolution. I just heard back from them on 12/30/14 and their response was that it was working as designed. How can a safety feature that is part of a 1000. 00 package be designed to give false alarms when the roads are wet. Please investigate and have have nissan resolve this issue before it causes someone to get into an accident. Thanks. *js |
