NHTSA Complaint #10489544 — 2012 NISSAN VERSA

I RENTED A 2012 VERSA HATCHBACK THIS WEEK. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE I DISCOVERED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS WERE NOT WORKING. I REPORTED THIS TO THE RENTAL AGENCY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE INDICATORS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND FOUND THAT IT HAD NO TURN OR HIGH BEAM INDICATORS. THESE ARE BASIC SAFETY DEVICES TO INFORM THE DRIVER OF THE THESE FUNCTIONS. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON US ROADWAYS. ACCORDING TO WHAT I READ IN A DOCUMENT PUBLISHED BY THE U. S. DOT THESE ARE REQUIRED, SO I WONDER HOW THESE VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED IN THE U.S. THE DOCUMENT IS PUBLICATION NUMBER TP-108-13. PLEASE ADVISE ABOUT THIS. *TR
