NHTSA Complaint #10247175 — 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA

TO NHTSA: I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN CAR DEALERSHIP OF SHAKER HEIGHTS. ON OCTOBER 19TH, 2008, I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE ON THE HIGHWAY ALONG A STRAIGHTAWAY WHEN MY SKYLIGHT MOON ROOF SUDDENLY IMPLODE. IT WAS A LOUD BURST CAUSING SMALL MICROSCOPIC GLASS PARTICLES TO SCATTER THROUGHOUT MY INTERIOR. THE GLASS CUT MY ARM AND FLEW IN MY HAIR. I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE SLIGHTEST POSSIBLE TWISTING OR TORQUE OF THE FRAME BENDING WITH THE ROAD. THE 2004 MODEL OF MY VEHICLE RECENTLY HAD A RECALL DUE TO THIS EXACT ISSUE. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURE IN JAN. 2005, I SUSPECT THAT IT WAS MADE UNDER THE SAME PARAMETERS AS THE 2004 MODEL. I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED AS WELL DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION SINCE THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT. *TR
