| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2005 nissan altima - the radio produces an acceptable sound but the face plate lacks sufficient luminosity & contrast for the information to be seen. typically, it is impossible to read the display while driving as you must face directly in-line with the unit. nissan was contacted 3/4/05 and acknowledged there were problems and that they were the result of the radio being located too high resulting in sunlight "washing" out the display. i stated the problem exists at night as well and a contrast/illumination adjustment would help. i asked nissan to replace the radio with a different unit and they refused but indicated there would be a redesign in 2006.*ak |
