Description of the problem | On may 10, 2015 at approximately 3:15 pm, i was driving eastbound on john hanson highway when suddenly my hood come unlatched and smashed into my windshield cause the glass to shattered while i was driving causing me to try and move over to the shoulder lane because of loss visibility while shards of glass was all over me. I contacted my roadside assistance through statefarm and had the vehicle towed. After the vehicle was taken to the repair shop they told me that statefarm will not repair my car in its entirety because the root cause of the latch breaking causing damage to my windshield, hood, and roof, was due to extensive corrosion to my core support. I contacted nissan and they stated that there was no recall for my vehicle and that they could not fix it; however, the severity of the incident could have caused me to have been in my terrible accident. Nevertheless, the rusted and corroded core support was no cause on mine and i am requested assistance with this matter. I do not live in a flood zone. I purchased my vehicle brand new from the nissan dealer in january 2007. Please help me resolve this imperative matter. Thanks in advance for your assistance. |
