What to do
I've got a 2013 sv/sport that I bought new and the dealer has been exceptional since then trying to bring this car into acceptable status.
So far I had
1) driver side mirror assembly replaced due to Condensation
2) passenger side mirror assembly replaced due to Condensation
3) 19" good years replaced by good year due to excessive vibration that determined by road force balancer test (test paid for out b of pocket by me, test determined excess of 70 lb on every tire as a result the Oval tires may not be balanced )
4) passenger tail light replaced (x2)
5) driver side tail light replaced (x2)
6) chrome trim on the door reinstalled
Both tail lights show condensation build up again after the rain yesterday. I'm truly exhausted of taking the car to the dealer yet I realize the consequences of water in the electrical system and will insist another replacement.
What do you guys think? has anyone had multiple tail lights installed? Did nissan compensate you in any way?

Somethings not right here
Theres NO way brand nee tail lamps have this issue let alone 3x.
Id be checking to make sure there oem tail lamps and new lamps, not used or old ones they have in the back.
I have a 2012 with no issues like youve had.
Its good there replacing it all for you, but somethings not right. Maybe theres something sticking out on the car or something isnt being installed properly causing this issue.

I hear you. dealer told me they've been seeing these a lot and nissan has some bulletin that basically says a certain level of condensation is deemed acceptable - how moisture in the electrical system is deemed acceptable is beyond me
I will place markings on these given they agree to replace them. Otherwise I was told(by friends and family) to contact a lemon lawyer given the amount t of issues encountered in a short period of time.

I have to say that it seems, by the volume of traffic on this forum, that product qualiity on the later years of the 7th gen cars has fallen a bit. I have a 2009 SV Sport and have none of the problems that anyone here has ever posted on cars made from 2011 and beyond and this includes bearing knock and CVT.
This many trips to the dealer to fix all this on a new car less than a year old is way over the top. This car probably has many more problems that have yet to surface and if it can qualify for lemon status in your state, that is an option to seriously consider. If the dealer says there is a document saying a certin amout of condensation is acceptable have him show it to you. I doubt if there is one, otherwise why were the tailights and turnsignal housings changed?
