| Description of the problem | As i was driving home from picking my daughter up form school. I heard a noise that sounded like something fell on the roof of my truck. My daughter screamed mommy! I turned around in a panic to see my overhead console hanging and in pieces. I immediately pulled over to my crying daughter who was scratched by one of the pieces that fell and broke by hitting the middle console. The plastic console was shattered and some of the plastic still remains around the screws. I took my vehicle to the dealership the following morning to have them repair it because i thought for sure this was a recall issue. To my surprise the dealer told me it's not a recall item and that this issue has not reached the recall complaint ratio. They gave me a quote for the replacement and labor cost of $2,500! I looked online to see if there were any other complaints and to my satisfaction i'm not the only one. It's a fact that nissan 2008 nissan armada and titan vehicles have the same problems. This is a hazard and can cause an accident while driving. This matter should be addressed by a recall and replacement of all consoles free of charge and a notice to all owners stating (warning / caution advisory) potential hazard / risk while driving your console may fall or crack into pieces without reason! |
