I HAD A SEVERE ACCIDENT WITH MY 2014 NISSAN ROGUE AWD WHICH ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE ARE ALIVE. HOWEVER MY WIFE HAS SOME INJURY ON THE NECK....UPDATED 10/20/14 *BF ON 9/28 EARLY MORNING, WE WERE DRIVING (IN MIDDLE LANE) ON FREEWAY (I-5 - SOUTHBOUND) AT A NORMAL SPEED AND ALL OF SUDDEN I HEARD A BIG SOUND IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I WAS ALERT BUT BEFORE I COULD REACT, THE NEXT MOMENT MY CAR ROLLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEN UPSIDE DOWN (ON THE FRONT HOOD AND FRONT PART OF THE ROOF) AND GOT DRAGGED AND AT THE SAME TIME TURNED. FINALLY THE BACK OF MY CAR HIT THE CURB WITH FULL FORCE AND THEN IT RESTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (BETWEEN EXIT 109 AND 108) BUT NOW IT WAS FACING NORTHBOUND. I BROKE THE WINDSHIELD TO COME OUT AND WITH THE HELP FROM PASSERSBY; I COULD SAFELY BRING MY WIFE AND 3 YEAR OLD OUT OF THE CAR. ALL THESE HAPPENED SO QUICKLY BUT I REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AS I DID NOT BLACKOUT. NEITHER MY CAR HIT ANY OTHER CAR NOR DID ANYTHING HIT MY CAR. AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRUCK OR CAR FOLLOWING US. IT'S A BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH I BOUGHT IN JAN 2014. I STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW COME SUCH A SERIOUS FAILURE COULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE IS NOW TOTALED AND I HAVE LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN BUT I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY. I WANT THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS I DO NOT WANT OTHER FAMILIES TO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH. UPDATED 05/21/2015 *JS
