Forward collision avoidance
2 reports1 crash
“The accelerator position sensor and the related wiring is defective. It loses power during acceleration and does not accelerate properly. My safety and the safety of others is at risk because it has lost power while in 65-70 mph traffic which almost caused an accident. The dealer has confirmed this issue is with the wiring harness connection to the accelerator. I contacted the manufacturer but they were not willing to assist me, and have not inspected the vehicle. I will request the dealer to give me the defective parts once the repair is complete. Shortly before losing power, the following warning flashes: "emergency brake inoperative" and the stabilitrak/traction control light comes on and says to check the owners manual(manual does not provide explanation for this issue)”

THE NISSAN INVESTIGATOR [XXX] DECLARED THAT SHE IS THE FINAL SAY ON THE SAFETY OF MY AIRBAGS AND CLAIMS THAT IT IS HER OPINION THAT I DID NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATION FOR MY AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I HIT THE CONCRETE WALL AT PROBABLY AROUND 30-40 MPH AND CAME TO A DEAD STOP. I HAD NOTHING TO HELP WITH THE SHARP SNAP OF MY NECK FROM THE IMPACT. [XXX] UNPROFESSIONALLY YELL AT ME THAT SHE IS THE AUTHORITY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY AND THEN HUNG UP THE CALL ON ME AFTER STATING THAT I DID NOT SHARE HER OPINION AND ASKING HER MULTIPLE TIMES IF SHE WOULD SEND ME A REPORT OF HER FINDINGS FOR MY RECORDS, WHICH SHE REFUSED TO DO. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CONTACT ANYONE ELSE IN NISSAN INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT AND I BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HARM A LOT OF PEOPLE IF MY AIRBAGS WERE…”
