I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE MORNING OF 11/17/2020, WHEN I HIT A DEER WITH A FRONT OF MY SUV. THE FRONT END OF MY SUV WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED WHICH CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BURNT ME INSTEAD IT WAS EMBLEM RETAINING RING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL THAT HOLDS THE PLASTIC ADVERTISEMENT / EMBLEM OF THE VEHICLE COME OUT AND CUT / IMPALED ME ACROSS THE NECK. WHICH LED ME TO GOING TO THE ER IN THE BACK OF AN AMBULANCE. WHEN I GOT TO THE ER THE DOCTOR ON CALL SAID IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN INCH OVER IT WOULD HAVE CUT THE MAIN CULINARY ARTERY WHICH I WOULD HAVE BLED TO DEATH. AT THE ER I RECEIVED X-RAYS AND STITCHES NOW I'M LEFT WITH A SCAR.*DT THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR*JB*DT*DT*DT*DT*JB CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED BUT CASE NOR FILE NUMBER WAS NOT GIVEN.

1.VEHICLE FRONT SUSPENSION FELT LOOSE WHEN DRIVING OVER SOME BUMPS ON ROAD, ALMOST LOST CONTROL HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 45MPH AND AT 65MPH UNSAFE TO DRIVE. 2. FUEL GAUGE SOMETIMES NOT READING CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL SHOWING HALF TANK WHEN ALMOST EMPTY COULD GET STRANDED. 3. COMPRESSOR FOR AIRSHOCKS ON REAR LEAKS CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING. *TR

BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AT THE SAME TIME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ARMADA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, A TICKING SOUND WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF VICTORIA (6003 N NAVARRO ST, VICTORIA, TX 77904 (361) 578-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED MANIFOLD THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO AN EXPIRED WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

LEAVING WORK, I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT TRIED TO TURN OVER BUT STOPPED. THE DASH LIGHTS WENT DIM AND THE NEEDLE INDICATORS QUIVERED AND THE CAR QUIT TRYING TO START. I CLEANED THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND THE CAR CRANKED CONTINUOUSLY BUT WOULDNT TURN OVER. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHOSE COMPUTER COULDNT COMMUNICATE WITH THE VEHICLE COMPUTER, THEN A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (NO NISSAN DEALER IN MY TOWN) WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, MY COWORKER BROUGHT ME A COPY OF A RECALL BY NISSAN FOR HIS 2006 PATHFINDER FOR A ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I HAD IT TOWED FOR A 3RD TIME (TOTAL OF $415.00) TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN HELENA, MT 65 MILES AWAY, THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD E.C.M. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID "I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY"!!!! NOW IM OUT OF $1700.00 FOR A BAD ECM THAT I WAS NOT NEGLEGENT IN BREAKING, ON A VEHICLE LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. I FEEL SINCE IT WAS A FAULTY PART, I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. NOW IM IN MORE DEBT!!! *TR

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, TRANSMISSION, HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM IS POURING OIL ALL THE TIME, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD. THE FUEL GAUGE IS DAMAGED, ALL THE TIME SHOWS THAT HAVE GASOLINE BUT HAS NOTHING I TRUST THAT THE CAR WILL COME OUT GOOD BUT FAILED LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT MECHANICALLY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I DECIDED TO LEAVE THE CAR AND FLY TO MY DESTINATION MY QUESTION IS NISSAN CAN GO GET THE CAR WHERE THE CAR IS NISSAN COULD PROVIDE HELP OUTSIDE THE U.S. THE CAR DAMAGE ON A MISSION BACK TO THE STATES AS I COULD NOT FINISH THE MISSION BECAUSE NISSAN IS MECHANICAL DAMAGE, I LOST MY JOB, LEAVING ME NO MONEY TO PICK UP THE CAR CAN NISSAN PICK UP THE CAR? OUTSIDE THE U.S. *TR

THERE WAS A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWED FLUIDS TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT ALONG WITH COMPONENTS WITH THE RADIATOR/COOLING SYSTEM. WE WERE AT A STOP WAITING TO TURN LEFT, WHEN THE SIGNAL TURNED GREEN, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE REVVED AS WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. CALLED AAA AS WE NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP. THE AUTO SHOP EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION. REPAIR COSTS TOTALED $6000!!

MY DAD AND I GOT INTO THE TRUCK AND HE ALMOST SLIPPED AND FELL ON SOME TYPE OF LIQUID. WE PULLED OFF AND REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR IT WAS GOING VERY SLOW AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED AS THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS RACING EVEN THOUGH WE WERE GOING LESS THAN 10 MILES. WE PULLED OVER AND CONTACTED AAA WHO TOWED THE TRUCK AND THE TOW GUY SAID THE ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT HAD LEAKED OUT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HOSE BUSTED AND LEAKED OUT ALL FLUID. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY MY 2009 NISSAN ARMADA SE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT WON'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACK. ALL OTHER SEAT FUNCTIONS WORK Plan to have the Nissan dealership fine out what the problem is. . Heated seat will not work. Appeared to me to be a fuse, replaced the fuse. Works for about a minute, then the fuse blow Air bag light blinking. I also plan to have it look at. Could use financial assistance with the these repair cost.

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES COMING TO A STOP SIGN THERE WAS A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE. TRYING TO DRIVE WAS HARDLY POSSIBLE AS THE CAR WOULD STOP SHORT AND CAUSE THE NOISE ANYTIME THE BRAKES WERE EVEN LIGHTLY APPLIED. THE RED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME IN DECEMBER. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NOT WITH A 2009. MOST COMPLAINTS POINTED TO A SOLENOID IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND A $800 REPAIR. REPAIRS OFTEN DON'T LAST AND ANOTHER $800 IS SPENT A YEAR, OR YEARS LATER. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ADDRESS OR COMPENSATE FOR. HAD THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN I COULD VERY WELL SEE WHERE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TAKE AN EXIT AND THE BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY JUST DIDN'T WORK WHICH RESULTED IN ME MISSING THE EXIT, STRIKING A MEDIAN WITH THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE, THEN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER. VERY SOON AFTER MY ACCIDENT, I RECEIVED A RE-CALL FROM NISSAN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT WOULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE AN INSPECTION TO BE DONE, TO RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FAULTY BRAKE PEDAL. *TR
