| Description of the problem | As i was coming to a stop at the approaching red light, my car completely cut off. It was not enough time to turn on hazards or signal any approaching cars so the car causing the car behind me to hit into the back of my bumper. The hit caused something to fall off the top of their car and make a small crack onto my driver tail light. The car stopped because it was completely out of gas, even though the gas meter read that there was more than a quarter tank of gas in the car. There was a recall on my vehicle for the fuel system not reading correctly, which i had my car taken into the nissan dealership in july, where they spent 3 hours "correcting" the problem. However, the problem was not fixed correctly as having no gas in the car (even though the meter said i had gas) caused my car to stop in the middle of a busy street, which in turn caused my daughter and myself to become involved in a car accident. |
