MAJOR ACCIDENT, SWERVED TO AVOID A DEER AND HIT A POLE. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS BUCKLED AND SEAT BELT DID NOT GET. MY HEAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD, REQUIRING 8 STAPLES IN MY HEAD. HAD THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD INJURIES TO THE EXTENT I DID.*DT

LAST YEAR I WAS REARENDED WHILE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT WAS HARD ENOUGH THAT MY L-5 VERTEBRAE WAS BROKEN AND DISPLACED A CENTIMETER AWAY FROM SEVERING MY SPINAL CORD. IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME UNTIL MY DEPOSITION AND THE LAWYERS WERE ASKING ME WHY THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM. I WAS SITTING STATIONARY ON HWY 80 E IN STATESBORO GEORGIA WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO BABCOCK AND MORE HOME FURNISHINGS WHEN I WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND. THERE IS NO TURN LANE IT'S A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WITH MY TURN SIGNAL IN.

WHILE ENTERING A LEFT TURN LANE (UNSURE OF SPEED AS WAS SLOWING FOR THE RED LIGHT), VEHICLE BUMPED A CURB ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. DID NOT GO OVER IT, BRUSHED AGAINST IT. NO BODY DAMAGE EXCEPT SOME SCRAPING ON THE RIMS OF THE WHEELS. THE TIRES REMAINED INFLATED. HOWEVER, THE SENSOR DETECTED IT AS A SIDE IMPACT, AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS (NOT THE STEERING WHEEL, JUST THE SIDE) DEPLOYED, INJURING AND DISORIENTING THE DRIVER. VEHICLE WAS UNDER CONTROL, AND DRIVER WAS IN NO DANGER UNTIL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ASSERTED THAT THE SENSOR ACTED PROPERLY AS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A ROLL OVER (THEN SHOULDN'T ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED?). THE SENSOR IS WAY TOO SENSITIVE AND DANGEROUS AS I WAS SEVERELY DISORIENTED (AND MAY HAVE BRIEFLY LOST CONSCIOUSNESS) FROM THE AIRBAGS AND AM LUCKY THAT I OR SOMEONE ELSE WAS NOT MORE SERIOUSLY INJURED. FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT, THE INSURANCE AGENT, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER, ETC. WERE SHOCKED THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED IN THIS SITUATION. BRUSHING CURBS IS WELL WITHIN THE NORMAL PARAMETERS OF DRIVING AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF.

THE AIRBAGS ON MY 2016 NISSAN ROGUE NEVER DEPLOYED. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HAD A SNEEZING SPELL. MY EYES CLOSED AND MY ARM JERKED THE WHEEL DURING THE SPELL. MY CAR TURNED INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT I NEVER EVEN APPLIED THE BRAKES. MY CAR PLOWED THROUGH THE THICK WOODS AND TREES FOR OVER 500FT AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED.. FINALLY COMING TO REST AFTER MAKING HEAD ON CONTACT WITH A BIG TREE. WHEN MY CAR WAS BEING TOWED OUT OF WOODS, THE TOW TUCK DRIVER FOUND THE AIRBAG SENSOR BROKEN OFF UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I HAVE INCLUDED SEVERAL PICS FROM THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND FROM THE TOW YARD WHERE MY CAR WAS BROUGHT. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR FROM THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. THE RESULTING DAMAGE RESULTED IN THE CAR BEING A TOTAL LOSS WITH INSURANCE COMPANY . PICTURES SHOWING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR REFLECT THE FACT NO AIRBAGS EVER WENT OFF. I ALSO INCLUDED A PICTURE SHOWING THE BROKEN OFF SENSOR SITTING ON MY HOOD. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT IN THE CRASH. BUT I AND REPORTING THE CRASH BECAUSE THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. THERE CLEARLY IN A DESIGN FLAW. YOU WOULD THINK IF THE SENSOR BRAKES OFF, THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE THE AIRBAGS. CLEARLY NOT THE CASE IN MY ACCIDENT.

ON 8/28/2017, I WAS DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA RT. 395 SOUTH WHILE THE RENTAL CAR I WAS IN, NISSAN ROGUE 2016, WENT OFF HIGHWAY INTO THE DESERT ON A SPEED 65MPH. I ENDED UP INJURED, WITH BROKEN VERTEBRA, AND CURRENTLY ON LONG TERM DISABILITY. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN A CAR; WAS TAKEN TO BARSTOW COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. AS I EXAMINE THIS ACCIDENT IN MY MEMORY, I CANNOT RECALL ANY MISTAKES IN DRIVING ON MY PART . ALL OF A SUDDEN, I COULD NOT STEER, SO CAR WENT OFF HIGHWAY. THE OWNER OF THE CAR IS ENTERPRISE RENTAL; THE CAR WAS TOTALED. SINCE THEN, I WAS CONTACTED BY ELCO WHO CONTACTED NISSAN, AND NISSAN PROVIDED AN INSPECTION, FINDING NO PROBLEMS (SEE ATTACHED; I WAS NOT PRESENT.) I ALSO HAVE A REPAIR ESTIMATE FROM MOHAVE BODY (ATTACHED). PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1. POLICE REPORT IS PARTIALLY INCORRECT. THERE ARE TOO MANY INCONSISTENCIES, INCLUDING THE NAME OF THE PERSON FOUND RESPONSIBLE, AND THE MAKE OF HIS CAR. POLICE REPORT CANNOT BE ATTACHED DUE TO THE SIZE LIMITATION; YOU CAN PULL IT OUT USING ACCIDENT REPORT CARD (ATTACHED.) TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE WERE NO DIRECT WITNESSES, SOMEONE SAW IT FROM FAR AWAY. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE THAT I CAN PROVIDE. 2. THIS CAR WAS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE NATIONAL RENTAL CAR THAT HAD SOME PROBLEMS, SO I HAD TO EXCHANGE IT PER NATIONAL CAR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE REQUEST.THE NISSAN CAR HAD FAULTY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR THAT THE RENTAL OFFICE WAS NOT AWARE OF, AND WHEN I POINTED IT OUT, CLAIMED THAT IT IS SAFE AND MANY NISSAN VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS INDICATING LOW PRESSURE WHILE IN FACT THE PRESSURE WAS TOO HIGH, OVER 40PSI. I CHECKED AND ADJUSTED TIRE PRESSURE IN DISCOUNT TIRE IN CARSON CITY, NV; THE FAULT MESSAGE DID NOT GO AWAY. I MAINTAIN THAT THE RENTAL AGENCY DID NOT PERFORM TECHNICAL INSPECTION OF THE CAR AS THEY HAD TO, AND THERE COULD BE SOME OTHER HIDDEN PROBLEMS BESIDES TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR.*DT

WE HAVE HAD 2 PARKING LOT FENDER BENDERS WITHIN 3 MONTHS DUE TO THE FACT THAT NISSAN'S REAR VIEW MONITORING SYSTEM'S USE OF A BACKUP CAMERA IS SO COMPLICATED TO USE AND ITS BLIND SPOT MONITORING DOES NOT FUNCTION UNDER 20 MILES PER HOUR SPEED THAT I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPROVED AS A FEATURE ON THIS CAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERIOR BACK SEAT HEADRESTS BLOCK ALL WINDOWS THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE USED FOR VISUAL SEARCHING. AS A BUYER, I WAS NOT WARNED THAT THE SYSTEM HAS A VERY MINIMAL USE. IT TOOK TWO ACCIDENTS BEFORE I FOUND ITS LIMITATIONS BURIED IN THE MANUAL. THE SYSTEM IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE MARKETING IMPLIES THAT IT PROTECTS FROM BACKING UP WHEN IT DOES NOT. IN THE MANUAL SMALL PRINT IT LISTS SO NINE TIMES WHEN IT WILL NOT WORK. COMPARED TO OTHER CARS SUCH AS LEXUS, THIS NISSAN 'SAFETY' FEATURE IS ACTUALLY A DANGER TO ANY DRIVER.

ON 2/7/16, I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN MY SPACE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE REVVED LOUDLY, AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB AND SLAMMED INTO THE OFFICE BUILDING!!!! I HAD NO CONTROL EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS PUSHING ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD. MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, AND TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED PETRIFIES ME. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED. THE DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS ESTIMATES ARE HAPPENING NOW, SO THE REPORTS ARE STILL BEING FORMULATED, AND I CAN ADD THEM TO THIS REPORT ONCE THEY ARE COMPLETED.
