| Description of the problem | While driving the vehicle on 12/17/15 on an on ramp to a highway, the secondary latch (recall previously at dealership to be repaired 7/2015) failed causing the hood to fly up. Filed complaint with nissan who told us to take it to a dealership. We took it to a dealership in which they verified the secondary latch was not working and gave us an estimate of $3,200 in damages. We are still waiting for nissan to approve the repair of the latch and damages. They now are telling us that they have to send an adjuster to look at the car and that could take weeks. In the mean time, we are driving an unsafe vehichle with children. |
