NHTSA Complaint #10132174 — 2001 NISSAN XTERRA

THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE THE IGNITION WIRING IN MY 2001 NISSAN XTERRA FRIED. THE ENGINE CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING TO ENTER THE FREEWAY. I WAS THEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT THE XTERRA DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE AND IT FRIED BECAUSE OF AN AFTER MARKET ALARM,IT DOESN'T HAVE AN AFTER MARKET ALARM ITS THE SAME AS WHEN I BOUGHT IT,NINE MONTHS PRIOR. THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW IGNITION WIRE. I'M STILL WONDERING WHY THE FUSES DIDN'T BREAK LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO, PREVENTING THIS WHOLE SITUATION FROM HAPPENING. *NM
