Description of the problem | Brakes failed causing accident. Recall received 2 hours later. Nissan says parts were replaced but did not cause the accident. Why should i believe them? The consumer stated he was attempting to park in the driveway when the brakes failed. He tried to stand on the brakes as well as stomped the pedal with one foot, but to no avail. The vehicle continued up the driveway hitting his garage door and the side of his house. The garage door crumbled and his other vehicle, pushing it into the inner portion of the garage hitting it several times. Also prior to the accident, the passenger air bag light illuminated throughout the entire drive. The consumer stated a recall was issued for the air bag, but he was never notified. Also, the air bags failed to deploy when he hit the garage door. Updated 09/11/13 |
