SUNROOF EXPLODED IN CARWASH. EXPLOSION WAS SO VIOLENT IT BENT THE FRAMING AROUND SUNROOF. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRYING PORTION OF THE CARWASH. THE CARWASH HAS INCIDENT ON VIDEOTAPE BUT HAS NOT ALLOWED ME TO VIEW IT AS OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE. THE SUNROOF HAD NO DAMAGE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. TEMP OUTSIDE WAS APPROX 25 DEGREES AND THE HEATER WAS ON INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT.

AN ESTIMATE OF RECORD WAS ORIGINATED AT TOYOTA OF NORTH CHARLOTTE AFTER THE COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THE COLLISION DESPITE THE MULTIPLE DAMAGES AND MY MINOR INJURY. THERE HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING AIRBAG DIAGNOSTIC CODE THAT HAS BEEN MONITORED DURING OTHER GENERAL MAINTENANCE REPAIRS THAT WERE COMPLETED. IT HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION IF THE VEHICLE CONTAINS A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I AM TRYING TO OBTAIN THE NISSAN PART NUMBERS/DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE ORIGINAL AIRBAGS WITHIN MY 2006 ARMADA. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE THIS DATA EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, REPAIRED AND INSPECTED AT THAT LAKE NORMAN-CORNELIUS LOCATION. *JS *JS

I HIT A DEER ON JULY 5TH 2014. MY FRONT BUMPER PUSHED IN ON MY DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. CRACKED MY GRILL. BROKE OUT A HEAD LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE. BENT THE DRIVER FENDER AND DRIVERS DOOR AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON..... I CARRIED IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT WRECK RELATED. SPOKE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN ARMADA. I NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND I CANT TAKE THE CHANCE OF TRAVELING WITH HAZARDOUS RESTRAINTS.. I CURRENTLY HAVE A REJECT STICKER AND I DO NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE FOLLOWING INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON: VDC, ABS AND BRAKE. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WHICH SCARED ME TO DEATH. I CONTINUED ON CAUTIOUSLY AND FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT MAKE THE SAME SOUND THE NEXT TIME I BRAKED. THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS A SENSOR THAT WENT BAD AND THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM THAT POSSIBLY WAS BAD. I PAID OVER $500 TO GET IT FIXED AND HAD TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT THAT WHAT THEY DID MAY NOT FIX IT, AND IF SO, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WOULD THEN NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1000. I FOUND OUT AFTERWARDS THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL OF THE VERY SAME ISSUE BUT NOT ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VIN DID NOT MATCH THE RECALL. VERY SUSPECT. *TR
