VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT IT TURNED GREEN AND I ACCELLERATED TO THE ROAD SPEED OF 40 MPH. THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED AND I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL BUT IT DIDN'T COME UP AND RELEASE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO. I USED MY BRAKE AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS STILL STUCK DOWN. I MADE A LEFT TURN AS I KNOW THAT ROAD IS LONG AND WOULD GET ME OUT OF TRAFFIC. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD POP AND THE GAS PEDAL FINALLY RELEASED ALLOWING ME TO BRAKE PROPERLY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. HAD MY NEWLY LICENSED 17 YEAR OLD BEEN DRIVING, HE WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO SEE WHY THIS CAR'S GAS PEDAL WON'T RELEASE!! I AM WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK NOW.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
APPLIED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR AND IT SLID ON AN INCLINED ROAD AFTER BEING IN A COMPLETE STOP, RESULTING IN REAR ENDED STRAIGHT THE FRONT VEHICLE. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING BURNS AND SEAT BELT BRUISES. THE FORCE WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO BEND A METAL BAR. I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW THE INCLINED SURFACE DIDN'T EVEN HELP STOP THE CAR FOR IT SEEMS TO STILL BE GOING INSTEAD OF STOPPING. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SUCH A BAD IMPACT SINCE GRAVITY AND FRICTION WHERE WORKING TO STOP THE CAR. I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

ENGINE, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I BOUGHT A NISSAN SENTRA 2015 ON JANUARY 23RD, 2015, WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR THE BLESSING I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE MOTOR DIDN'T HAVE THE ARM THAT GIVES SUPPORT FOR THE ENGINE AND IT'S ASSEMBLED TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. I CHECKED THE MANUAL OF MY CAR ACCORDING TO MY TYPE OF MOTOR MRA8DE AND IN THE DOCUMENT THE VISUAL AID SHOWS THIS ARM ASSEMBLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGENCY AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, THE PERSON IN CHARGE SAW MY CAR AND DOUBTFUL TOOK ME TO SEE THE EXHIBIT CAR. WE OPENED THE HOOK OF THE EXHIBIT CAR AS WELL AND CONFIRMED THAT THE SUPPORT ARM WAS PRESENT IN THE CAR, HE WENT TO EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THE OFFICE AND RETURNED WITH AN ALLEGED DOCUMENT FROM THE NISSAN CORPORATIVE WHERE IT WAS SAID THAT SENTRA 2015 MODELS DIDN'T INCLUDE THIS ARM AND IT WAS AN ENGINEERING CHANGE FROM THE 2014 MODELS. I ASKED HIM WHAT ABOUT THE CAR MANUAL THEN THAT WAS GIVEN WITH THE CAR AND THE PERSON SAID THAT THE MANUAL ARE NOT UPDATED EVEN DUE TO THE ENGINEERING CHANGE OF THE 2015 MODELS. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT BUT IT WAS NOT GIVEN BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY IT NEEDED AND UPDATE WHAT MAKES ME DOUBT OF IT. I'M REPORTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE FOR ME THIS IS A SECURITY PART IN THE CAR TO SUPPORT THE ENGINE AND I'M ASKING FOR INVESTIGATION ASSISTANCE IF THIS ENGINEERING CHANGE IS RIGHTFUL AND BECAUSE MAYBE THE DRIVERS MIGHT BE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN IN A CAR CRASH INCIDENT IF THIS INFORMATION GIVEN WAS FALSE JUST TO AVOID A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT IN THE AGENCY. *TR
