I am writing to formally report a series of safety concerns I have encountered with my Nissan vehicle. These issues have been brought to the attention of both the service department and Nissan directly, but they remain unresolved. I believe these defects pose significant safety risks, not only for me as the driver but also for others on the road.

I think it also uses back-force on the...
