2004 Nissan Titan

MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AUGUST 17TH 2016 RESULTING IN HIS DEATH. INVESTIGATORS CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT BUT HIS VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. WE'RE NOT EVEN CERTAIN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AFTER THE ACCIDENT THERE WAS NO PROOF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED AND CAUSE FOR FIRE IS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED AROUND 55-65 IN HOUSTON TEXAS. A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO PUT THE BRAKES ON QUICKLY. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL MUSHED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BARLEY SLOWED DOWN. I MADE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE BRAKES MADE AN LOUD GRINDING NOISE, AND LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED(WITH OUT GETTING HIT MY CARS) I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I HAD TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND AS I SAT THERE I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE DASH, LIKE SOMETHING RESET ITSELF. I START THE TRUCK UP AND MOVED SLOWLY FORWARD TO SEE IF I HAD BRAKES AND SUDDENLY THEY WERE WORKING AGAIN. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS A MILLION TIMES AND IT IS JUST BY LUCK THAT I HAVE NO BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND NOTHING HE CAN DO WITHOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THEN HE ISN'T SURE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT CONTINUES TO LOOSE THE BRAKES. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 2011. *TR

ON 6/20/2008 I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE A RECALL ITEM TO REPLACE REAR DOOR WIRING HARNESS, RECALL # R0616. THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND IN THE PROCESS THE DEALERSHIP ALSO REPLACED LH-PRETENSIONER, SEATBELT AND BODY HARNESS, AND RESET AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. ON 6/03/2013, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I WENT TO A NEARBY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE LH-PRETENSIONER, SEATBELT AND BODY HARNESS, I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THIS WORK WAS ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED ONCE AND THAT I HAD THE DOCUMENTS IF HE NEEDED THEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEN STATED THAT SINCE THE WORK WAS ACCOMPLISHED FIVE YEARS AGO THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PARTS ARE A SAFETY ITEM THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, RESULTING IN A 574.30 CHARGE OF WHICH I PAID. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM, AND THUS SHOULD NOT HAVE A WARRANTY RESTRICTION, I AM NOT SURE IF THE TRUCK IS EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL THIS WEEK: RECALL 06V-459 ABOUT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING, SEAT BELTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, ETC. MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED SO AS INSTRUCTED I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH THE LETTER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT "WAS NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM". STATING THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL. CLEARLY MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THESE EXACT PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE REQUIRED TO FIX THEM, BUT THEY STILL REFUSED TO FIX OR DIAGNOSE FOR FREE AS REQUIRED BY LAW. VERY DISAPPOINTING IN NISSAN FOR DISREGARDING MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. *TR..UPDATED 08-07-13 *BF
