| Description of the problem | We purchased a 2014 missan murano sl awd in dec 2104, with the navigation package ($2100) which included the blind spot warning system. When lights are in the "auto" position, a vehicle comes up from behind, either side, the yellow/orange warning light comes on, just the way it should. However, when you turn the head lights on to "manual" position, such as when it is raining, the blind spot warning indicator light does not come on enough to catch your attention, it is just a flicker, you would have to take your eyes off the road to see it. It is like there is no warning at all. We have called nissan and were told that, "it performs as designed" i said then you have a design flaw and it needs to be corrected, because we are not getting a warning the same way when the light are in the "auto" position. Nissan position is that there is nothing they are going to do about it. |
