2012 Nissan Armada

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while driving, he drove over a bump in the road, and the back end swayed and it fishtailed. The contact pulled over and was unable to locate the cause of the failure. The contact continued to drive while driving over 35 MPH; the vehicle swerved. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, a suspension shop, and the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the subframe had fractured and was on top of the fuel tank. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was not repaired due to the intense repairs and price. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE ONE MORNING ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HOME. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RAIN STARTED COMING IN THE CAR BC THE SUNROOF DRAIN LINES WERE IMPROPERLY WORKING AT 10% BECAUSE WHEN MANUFACTURED THEY WERE PLACED THE WRONG WAY. THIS CAUSED WATER TO POUR INTO MY CAR AS I WAS DRIVING . MY FEET WERE SOAKED AS RAINWATER POURED ON THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS. IT ALSO STARTED TO COME THROUGH THE DVD PLAYER ,THE SUNROOF WHEN CLOSED AND THE SIDE TOP PANEL IN FRONT. MY LIGHTS AND SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO GO IN AND OUT AS THEN WATER CONTINUED TO FLOOD MY CAR . MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 2 MONTHS AND HAD TO BE COMPLETELY GUTTED DUE TO THE WATER RUINING THE SEATS AND THE CARPET. NISSAN DIDN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE FACTORY DEFAULT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MORE UNKNOWN PROBLEMS . WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC. 2012 BRAND NEW. *TR

I HIT THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE REAR LIFT GATE. I THEN STEPPED AWAY AND WHEN COMING BACK AROUND THE CORNER I DID NOT CUT THE CORNER WIDE ENOUGH AND WENT RIGHT INTO THE GATE WHICH CONTINUED TO CLOSE ON MY HEAD. THIS RESULTED IN A LACERATION TO MY FOREHEAD, A CONCUSSION AND A TRIP TO THE ER. AT MY ADMISSION, I WAS RUSHING AROUND THE CORNER SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS THAT MAYBE I DID NOT GIVE IT ENOUGH TIME TO SENSE ME AND RETRACT. HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE "TESTED" THIS AUTOMATIC CLOSE FEATURE WITH MY ARM AND IT DOES NOT SENSE IT AND CONTINUES TO CLOSE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS TIME I WAS AWARE OF WHAT I WAS DOING SO I HAD TIME TO RETRACT MY ARM. I AM LEFT WITH A PERMANENT SCAR ON MY FOREHEAD BUT I FEAR THIS COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE EVEN WORSE CONSEQUENCES FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE, ESPECIALLY A CHILD. *JB
