| Description of the problem | My husband and i were driving through atlanta, ga (grady curve) at 75mph and the front, center console fell and hit my husband who was driving. The plastic had broken and literally shattered into pieces but the electrical wires were holding on to what was left of the structure. I took the car to the dealership and was charged almost $1000 to fix it. Nissan america said there was no recall and i had to pay for it if i wanted it fixed. A couple months later the exact same thing happened to the back, center console. The plastic that was left was suspended by the electrical components. We brought the car back to the dealership and they removed part of it so the kids could sit in the backseat without the plastic splinters falling on their heads. I was quoted over $1000 to fix it and still no recall on this faulty plastic. |
