2019 Nissan Pathfinder

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELLING AT 60 MPH. THE CRASH CAUSED HER SEATBELT TO UNLATCH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO BRACE HERSELF BUT HER SPINE WAS INJURED AND SHIFTED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT TRANSPORTED BY AN AMBULANCE BUT WENT TO URGENT CARE THAT SAME DAY AND THEN WENT TO ANOTHER DOCTOR FOR MORE XRAYS. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE OTHER DRIVER WAS INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP AND WAS DEEMED TOTALED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,800. *DT*JB

OUR RENTER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GREAT UP UNTIL THE INCIDENT. STATES THAT THEY FILLED THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AROUND 4PM BEFORE PARKING IT JUST OUT IN FRONT OF WHERE THEY WERE STAYING. AT 1AM THEY WERE AWOKEN BY A DISTURBANCE OUTSIDE AND SOMEONE BANGING ON THEIR DOOR TELLING THEM THEY NEEDED TO COME OUTSIDE - WHEN HE ARRIVED HE NOTICED THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED BUT IT TOOK ALMOST AN HOUR, PER RENTER, TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES AS THE VEHICLE KEPT LEAKING GASOLINE. APPARENTLY THERE IS A WITNESS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRE FROM A [XXX] ([XXX]) WHO HEARD THE VEHICLE'S HORN AND OBSERVED NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE AND THEN THERE WAS AN "EXPLOSION" AS IT CAUGHT FIRE (POTENTIAL ALARM?) THE FIRE REPORT CONFIRMS THAT OUR RENTAL VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THEY INDICATE THAT THE FIRE WAS "MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION" AND "UNINTENTIONAL." THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF COMBUSTION. *** PLEASE CONTACT THE ADJUSTER WE HIRED TO ASSIST US WITH THIS MATTER. HIS NAME IS [XXX] WITH SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES. PHONE: [XXX]. EMAIL: [XXX] THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRAVELING I-80 FROM YORK, NE TO LINCOLN, NE. ON JUNE 3, 2019, 11:47 A.M. APPROX. 2 MILES WEST OF HWY 15 EXIT, WE HEAR A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THOUGHT A TIRE OR SOMETHING HIT OUR PATHFINDER. LUCKY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND US AND THE WEATHER WAS HOT WITH CLEAR SKYS. I PULLED INTO A DIVIDED PORTION OF THE INTERSTATE AND INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND EVERYTHING OK. STARTED DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN AND WE HEARD PIECES OF SOMETHING ROLLING OFF OUR ROOF. I INSPECTED THE REAR SUNROOF, FOUND IT OK AND THEN STARTED PULLING BACK THE FRONT COVER OF THE SUNROOF AND REALIZED THE GLASS HAS SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED OUR SALESMAN AT NISSAN TO REPORT THE DAMAGE AND TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HE SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT AND WE COULD HAVE A LOANER TO USE IN THE MEAN TIME.

5-13-2019 (5 AM) I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE AEB (AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM) WAS ACTIVE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION UNTIL IMPACTING A MERCEDES. I WAS ON THE "MAZE" I-880 (FREEWAY) AND CHP ARRIVED AT 5:25 AM AND A FIELD REPORT FILE WAS FILE AND I WILL CONTEST IT. SEE ATTACHMENT. THERE IS A PREPARE DOCUMENT EXPLAINING. I SAW NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH DURING MOTION OR CRASH TIME. DRIVING ULTIMATELY A DASH RED INDICATOR CAME ON. AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THAT TO THINK. UPON RETURNING HOME IT SAID THE CAR MIGHT SUDDENLY STOP. RESEARCHING I FOUND A WAY TO TURN OFF THIS FEATURE. BUT EVERY-TIME ONE TURNS ON THE IGNITION, THIS SWITCH RESETS ITSELF... THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN IT COMPLETELY, BUT OTHER SAFETY FEATURES DO. I FIND THIS ODD AND PROBLEM UNTIL CAR IS REPAIRED. I BELIEVE THIS SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE, BUT EVALUATION IS DIFFICULT. I LIKE THE BLACK BOX RECORDER TO BE DOWN LOADED. I FOUND A PERSON WHO CAN DO THIS, BUT HE CAN NOT EVALUATE THE DATA. DOES THE NHTSA HAVE THIS SKILL? I BELIEVE MY START OF THE ART CAR COULD TELL US MORE. PRESENTLY PATHFINDER SL OWN BY [XXX] IS AT JIM BONE NISSAN SANTA ROSA WAITING FOR A PART. I WILL ATTACH TWO FILES CONTAINING ALL RELATED INFORMATION. I AM AWARE AFTER THIS ACCIDENT THAT THERE IS AN EFFORT TO RECALL PATHFINDER SL CONCERNING THIS SENSOR AEB. THANK YOU.
