CAR WILL NOT START WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW FREEZING. THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND ON TWO OCCASIONS HAS REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE DISTRIBUTOR. BOTH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM LINES WITH THE FUEL LINE. THE DEALER CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THE SECOND FAILURE ARE THE TWO SEALS ON THE REAR TAILIGHTS WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN WATER DAMAGE TO THE TRUNK.

AIR BAGS
ON JULY 07 1999, I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A SIDE STREET ONTO A TWO LANE ROAD. AS I WAS COMPLETING MY TURN, AN SUV HAD CROSSED THE SOLID YELLOW LINE IN ATTEMPT TO GO AROUND ME IN THE WRONG LANE. AS A RESULT, MY 1997 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS HIT IN THE FRONT LEFT (NEARLY HEAD ON) AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ESTIMATED AT 40-50 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY $9,000 DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. NEITHER DRIVER SIDE OR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I SUSTAINED A CERVICAL MYOFASCIAL (WHIPLASH) INJURY THAT STILL HAS NOT RESOLVED, AND THANK GOD MY CHILDREN WERE NOT INJURED BADLY. THE AUTO BODY TECHNICIAN AND INSURANCE ADJUSTER (USAA) STATED THAT WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND ABSOLUTELY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. ANEVALUATION OF THE AIRBAGS IS PENDING.
