I have just bought Nissan Altima SL 2023 - and it has issues with a Faulty backup camera, It's resolution is way too bright, and there is no way to set it up through the settings - I have asked dealer Support for it, and they showed me other 3 Cars having the same issue, and they said they could not fix it as the company has manufactured it - At night, it is hazardous to use the backup camera as the driver is not able to see what is behind just because the camera is reflecting the light and the display is too bright, like a flash - I have Nis…

I took my car into the dealer to ask a question. Upon arriving I tried to open the drivers door after I turned the ignition off to exit the car and the drivers door would not open. The service man tried to open it from the outside with the same results. Finally it opened. It had done this before but I always forgot to tell them when I was at the dealership. The passenger door had done the same thing. The dealership ordered new front door latches for both front doors and replaced them. Yesterday I entered the drivers door to back the car out of …
