NHTSA Complaint #10429973 — 2006 NISSAN ARMADA

WHILE CROSSING A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, I ALMOST GOT TO THE STREET ON THE OTHER SIDE WHEN ANOTHER CAR CRASHED INTO THE FRONT END OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. I NEVER SAW THE CAR WHEN I PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND I HAD EVEN BEEN VERY CAUTIOUS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR. I JUST FELT A HORRIBLE IMPACT, AND WE BOTH LANDED INTO THE STREET OF MY DESTINATION. THE CAR WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT. THERE ARE TWO DANGEROUS AND DEADLY BLIND SPOTS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON EITHER SIDE. THE DIVIDERS OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND SIDE DOOR WINDOWS ARE EXTREMELY WIDE AND IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE BLIND SPOT FURTHER BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISION. NOT ONLY DOES THE DRIVER NOT SEE OTHER VEHICLES, THE DRIVER ALSO DOES NOT SEE PEOPLE AND CHILDREN. I HAVE HAD A JOGGER IN MY BLIND SPOT, AND IT SCARED ME TO DEATH. OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE NISSAN ARMADAS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT ALMOST RUNNING OVER PEOPLE AND CHILDREN. I AM NOW PROCEEDING WITH TRADING IN THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT AN INVESTIGATION WILL RESULT IN SOME TYPE OF CORRECTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
