2009 Nissan Armada

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. CONSUMER HUSBAND WAS CAN BE CONTACTED FOR MECHANICAL ISSUES HIS NAME IS [XXX] AND PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. CONSUMER'S REFERENCE NUMBER IS [XXX]. VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO A SALVAGE YARD BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AS OF MARCH 1ST. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

THE PLASTIC MOULD PANEL HOLDING THE AC OUTLETS, LIGHTS AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND RADIO VOLUME ON THE 2ND ROW AND 3RD ROW SEATS FELL OFF. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS SITTING BEHIND OTHERWISE THEY WILL GET HURT AND PROBABLY WILL CAUSE INJURY. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER PASSING THE SPEED REDUCING HUMP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD . I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING AND SINCE THIS PART REQUIRES NO MAINTENANCE YOU CAN NEVER TELL WHEN THEY WILL FALL/DISLODGE FROM THEIR LOCATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR ROOF BRACKET WAS FALLING, WHICH DISTRACTED THE DRIVER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRACKETS WHERE STRIPPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

MY FINISHER CONSOLE/REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE CRASHED DOWN FROM THE CEILING WHILE DRIVING. I AM RELIEVED THAT NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME OR I'M SURE IT WOULD HAVE INJURED THE PASSENGER. IT WAS APPARENT THAT THIS PART WAS POORLY DESIGNED SINCE IT BROKE AT ALL 4 HOOKS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART COST $1,028.04 (WITH TAX) AND AN ADDITIONAL $165.00 IN LABOR. NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING THE ARMADA FOR THIS DEFECT SINCE IT POSES A SAFETY RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ARMADA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A RUST MARK ABOUT THE SIZE OF A NICKEL ON THE UPPER DRIVER SIDE OF THE ROOF RAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED WITH TOUCH UP PAINT. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED SIGNS OF RUST ON THE ENTIRE ROOF FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER TROUGH THE PAINT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. ....UPDATED 08/20/15 *BF UPDATED 12/4/2015*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE THE INTERIOR ROOF PANEL WAS DISCOVERED HANGING FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE PANEL HAD TO BE HELD TO AVOID IT FROM FALLING DOWN ONTO THE DRIVER. IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH THE INTERIOR ROOF PANEL DETACHED FROM THE ROOF AND FELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE MAKING CONTACT WITH A PASSENGER SEATED IN THE SECOND ROW MIDDLE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PANEL WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,100.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT TWO BOLTS HAD POPPED OUT OF POSITION AND ANOTHER WAS ABOUT TO POP OFF IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. HE WOULD HAVE NEVER CHECKED THE HOOD IF IT HAD NOT POPPED OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT HAD TO HAVE DAMAGED THE HOOD IN ORDER FOR THIS FAILURE TO OCCUR; THEREFORE, THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE THE HOOD COULD HAVE OPENED AND IMPAIRED HIS VISIBILITY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 12,000.
