2014 Nissan Frontier

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN IN A "FRONT END COLLISION" AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (EST. 70-80 MPH), AT IMPACT, NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND RESULTED IN HITTING MY HEAD EITHER AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW (I AM UNSURE, AS I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS FOR SECONDS AFTER THE COLLISION). THIS COLLISION OCCURRED, MOST RECENTLY, ON 08/28/18. I WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN A "FRONT END COLLISION" WITH A SEMI-TRUCK/18-WHEELER IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. THIS WAS ALSO AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BUT THE IMPACT WAS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, PREDOMINANTLY. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE A PASSENGER, I STILL WAS HIT HARD ENOUGH THAT THE IMPACT JOLTED MY HEAD TO, ONCE AGAIN, HIT MY STEERING WHEEL AND RESULTING IN BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE ER VIA LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT. BOTH OF THESE ACCIDENTS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,120. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES LESS THAN 10 DEGREES, THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE UPON FIRST MOVEMENT. THIS DISABLES THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, IT WILL ALSO DISABLE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IF NOT ENGAGED BEFORE MOVEMENT. AMBIENT TEMP MUST RISE ABOVE 25 DEGREES TO REVERSE THE SYMPTOMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE THAT LIVES IN A COLD CLIMATE.

I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT: FRIDAY JUNE 2, 2017. THIS IS FROM RESEARCH ON WWW (THOUSANDS OF ADS TO SELL NISSAN "BELL HOUSINGS ON WWW); FROM YOUTUBE CONCERNING A $7,000 REAIR: AUTONATION NISSAN OF BRANDON IN BRANDON, FL DID THE WORK AND A FEW MONTHS LATER AND A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES I AM HAVING NO ISSUES AND MUCH OF THE BELL HOUSING RATTLE IS GONE! THEY ENDED UP REPLACING MY DRIVE SHAFT ALONG WITH THE BELL HOUSING, AND I ALSO GOT A NEW FRONT CATALYTIC CONVERTER/DOWNPIPE AS IT WAS DAMAGED DURING REMOVAL DUE TO SEIZED HARDWARE. THE WHOLE WARRANTY JOB WAS AROUND $7,000! FROM YOUTUBE (THE "RED LINES" IN MY ATTACHED PHOTOS ARE "CRACKS", YOU CAN "HANG" YOUR FINGERNAIL ON) I LEARNED THERE HAS BEEN "BELL HOUSING DECENTIGRATION, REAR END OF ENGINE CRANKSHAFTS BREAKING OFF, TRANSMISSION BEARINGS SPINNING IN THE TRANS. HOUSINGS AND DRIVESHAFTS WOBBLING, ETC, ETC. SHOULD I REPORT THIS TO "FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION? THE DATE BELOW IS WHEN I WAS DRIVING (180 MILES) HOME AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE. BAKER NISSAN HAS BEEN "JERKING" ME AROUND FOR OVER TWO (2) YEARS NOW. THAT IS THE REASON BRAD BAKER STATED TO ME: "...DON'T BRING THE VEHICLE BACK THERE AGAIN..." AND I STILL HAVE 28,000 MILES / 2 1/2 YEARS WARRANTY ON VEHICLE! DRIVETRAINS DON'T "VIBRATE" !!!

VIN#: [XXX]; MY VEHICLE IS STILL IN WARRANTY AND "BAKER NISSAN" IN HOUSTON, TX HAS REFUSED TO HONOR "DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY". THE ONE PIECE "CAST ALUMINUM "BELL HOUSING" (THE "MAJOR CONNECTION" BETWEEN THE "ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, COVERING THE MAJOR "TORQUE CONVERTER" WHICH IS BASICALLY THE "HYDRAULIC TURBINE THAT CONVERTS THE ENGINE RPM'S/TORQUE INTO HYDRAULIC TORQUE WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION, TO THE DRIVESHAFT, TO REAR AXLES, TO WHEELS. THE "ALUM. BELL HOUSING" HAS "HUNDREDS OF MAJOR CRACKS" ALL AROUND THE PORTION (BOTTOM & PASSENGER SIDE) THAT I CAN SEE AND FEEL AND "MARKED IN RED" IN ABOUT 4 OF 8 PICTURES WHICH APPEARS AS IT IS POSSIBLE, I COULD EVENTUALLY "DISINTEGRATE"..., WHICH COULD POSSIBLY ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO SPIN... I "ONLY WONDER" IF THE "FLOOR SHIFTER" SPUN TO THE LEFT, IF IT COULD BRAKE MY RIGHT LEG "INTO"... GUESS THAT COULD BE WORSE CASE...? MY BELL HOUSING (FROM MY LITTLE. KNOWLEDGE OF METALLURGY) WAS "CAST" WITH EITHER "LOW GRADE ALUMINUM", "TOO THIN A CASTING", NOT "TREATED PROPERLY", ETC, ETC. WHICHEVER OR WHERE EVER THE "CASTING MFG."; DID NOT CAST MY "BELL HOUSING" ALONE WITH INFERIOR ALUMINUM ALLOY OR THICKNESS! HE (MFG.) CAST HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THESE INFERIOR ALUMINUM "BELL HOUSING" CASTINGS. IF I HAVE NOT ALREADY STATED BEFORE, BRAD BAKER, OWNER(?) OF BAKER NISSAN IN HOUSTON, TX, YESTERDAY JUNE 1, 2017, (PARAPHASING HIM): "...YOU HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS (VIBRATION AND ULTIMATELY TRANSMISSION "SLIPPING") FOR 2 YEARS NOW, (TO MY KNOWLEDGE, TRUCK NEVER LIFTED & LOOKED AT, ALL CHECKING DONE BY COMPUTER) AND WE FOUND NOTHING WRONG...AND FOR ME NOT TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO BAKER NISSAN AGAIN..." ! 31,000+ MILES, JUNE 1, 2017 I'M NEAR 63, AND FIGHTING BONE CANCER, CAN'T AFFORD A LAWYER,...DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO...? HELP FROM YOU ALL WOULD BE APPRECIATED...!!! THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ALL LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE ON DASHBOARD AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE RADIO WOULD TURN ON WITHOUT ANY KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN RAINING OUTSIDE AND VEHICLE WAS PARKED. AFTER AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT WHEN TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL REMAIN RUNNING FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR SO BEFORE SHUTTING OFF HARD. UPON A QUICK INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARED THE WIRES TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WERE HOT, AND I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO AVOID FIRE RISK. I HAVE A VIDEO OF WHAT THE TRUCK WAS DOING. THIS OCCURRED 4/10/16 AND IS BACK IN THE SHOP TODAY- 4/29/16 FOR THE SAME REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FELT SOFT AND SPONGY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.
