"takata recall" I have a 2016 nissan altima that I have owned about 6 months. The windshield wipers do not clear the windshield very well when it is raining. It is very hard to see when it is raining and it is scary.

The rear view camera is very blurry and out of focus at night on the 7 inch display. It's not totally clear during day time either. It appears to be the same bad quality on all altima's I tried it on.
