AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY FRIEND AND I WERE TRAVELING ON THE I-40E IN NEW MEXICO. HE WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND FEEL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. HE WOKE UP AND OVERSTEERED AND CAUSED US TO CRASH MY TRUCK INTO THE RIGHT SIDE HIGHWAY DITCH AT ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR. WE HIT FIRST WITH THE FRONT RIGHT OF MY TRUCK AND THEN TUMBLED 3 TIMES SMASHING ALL SIDES OF THE TRUCK ESPECIALLY THE FRONT. WE HAD OUR SEAT BELTS ON SO WE WEREN'T EJECTED, BUT AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY DOG WAS IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE 4 DOOR TRUCK AND WAS EJECTED AND DIED SHORTLY AFTER. I SUSTAINED SEVERAL INJURIES TO MY FACE, HEAD, ARMS, SHOULDERS, AND BACK. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DUE TO A DEFECT KNOWN BY NISSAN, THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECT AND DID NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. INSTEAD THEY ADDED AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DUE TO YEARS/MILEAGE LIMITATIONS. I MADE IT INTO THE LAST BRACKET, WHERE MY CO-PAY FOR THE REPAIR IS $3000 INSTEAD OF THE FULL $5800. THE DEALER DID NOT RESEARCH THE WARRANTY AND TRIED TO HAVE ME PAY FULL PRICE. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN DUE TO THEIR DECISION NOT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
UPON PENNSYLVANIA STATE REQUIRED INSPECTION THE INSPECTOR RECOGNIZED THAT THE REAR SEALS OF THE AXLE WERE "LEAKING" FLUID AND THAT THE FLUID HAD SATURATED THE ENTIRE BRAKING ASSEMBLY INCLUDING THE CALIPER, PADS, ROTOR AND EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES CAUSING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE TO BE A HAZARD TO THE OPERATOR. WHEN ASKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE INSPECTOR SAID THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN THIS WAY FOR SOME TIME BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF AXLE GREASE COVERING THE BRAKING MECHANISMS. FOR A DRIVER OF SAID VEHICLE THERE WOULD BE ZERO INDICATIONS OF FAILURE OF THE SEALS DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES CAUSING THE OIL TO GEL AND/OR BURN AWAY WHICH WOULD LEAVE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE ON THE GROUND. I FEEL THAT THIS CAUSES AN IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND THEIR OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE OVER ALL POOR DESIGN OF THE AXLE SHAFTS BY NISSAN ENGINEERING HAS ALLOWED THIS SITUATION TO OCCUR. A TSB CURRENTLY EXISTS FOR THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
