Why is Exposure Compensation "always set to +5"? Secondly, shooting at ISO 1000 shouldn't be much of an issue for a D600, are you shooting in JPG or RAW and are you doing any post processing/noise reduction? It sounds to me like you're simply running into a situation that's difficult to handle, not a problem with your camera.
