| Description of the problem | 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 |
