IN AUGUST 2020, I HAD TO JUMP START MY ARMADA DUE TO BATTERY DRAINED WHILE PARKED. THE VERY NEXT DAY, SAME THING HAPPENED. NISSAN REPROGRAMMED ECM IN SEPTEMBER DUE TO RECALL. WORKED FINE UNTIL OCTOBER 21, WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I DROVE IT THAT MORNING, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THAT AFTERNOON, IT WOULD NOT START AND THE INTERIOR JUST FLASH ON AND OFF. HAD TO JUMP START AGAIN.

HAVING ISSUES WITH MY DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON, ONCE ALL THE DOORS, ARE CLOSED. I'VE HAD THIS CHECKED 3 TIMES, AT 2 DIFFERENT NISSAN'S AND KNOW ONE CAN FIND THE ISSUE. I'M PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP, LATER THIS WEEK I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, DO TO THE DOME LIGHTS, BEING ON AND I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE UNTIL MY FAMILY COMES HOME, OR MY NEIGHBOR LETS US KNOW. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH 2020.

Sep 12, 2019

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
