THE CAR'S REARVIEW CAMERA HAS NO VISIBILITY WHEN IT'S NIGHTTIME OR DARK OUTSIDE. THE REARVIEW CAMERA MONITOR IS ALMOST PITCH BLACK AND TOO GRAINY. SIDEVIEW CAMERA ALSO SHOWS NO VISIBILITY (EVEN THOUGH THE CAR COMES WITH THESE FEATURES) AND CHANGING BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST SETTINGS DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. DURING THE DAY, THERE'S VISIBILITY, BUT AT NIGHT, THE MONITOR IS BLACK AND GRAINY. THE DEALERSHIP'S MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM WHEN CAR WAS BROUGHT FOR MAINTENANCE JUST 45 DAYS AFTER LEASING THE NEW VEHICLE. INFINITI'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS CONTACTED AND THEY HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS CREATES A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AS WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, NOTHING IS VISIBLE IN THE MONITOR WHEN BACKING UP.
