NHTSA Complaint #10478543 — 2008 NISSAN ARMADA

WHILE DRIVING OUT THE ROAD I CROSSED A RAILROAD TRACK DOING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. THE REAR ROOF CONSOLE CAME CRASHING DOWN AND HIT MY WIFE IN THE HEAD AND BROKE IN HALF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE RAILROAD ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THESE CONSOLES FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING. AFTER CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HE TOLD ME TO SEND IN A COMPLAINT AND SEE IF THAT HELPS. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF MY WIFE HAD NOT BEEN IN THE BACK SEAT WITH MY GRANDCHILD IT WOULD HAVE HIT HER OR MY GREAT NIECE IN THE HEAD. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH WHERE THE SCREWS GO IN TO HOLD THIS UP. THE PLASTIC JUST CRUMBLES AROUND IT. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I CHECKED THE FRONT ONE TO INSPECT THE CONDITION IT IS IN. WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW, THE FRIGGIN PLASTIC IS CRACKED AROUND THEM TOO. ANY DAY NOW I AM WAITING FOR THIS ONE TO FALL OUT AS WELL. WHEN IT GOES, IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WILL DEFINITELY HIT THE DRIVER IN THE HEAD AND CAUSE A DISTRACTION. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE BACK WITHIN A FEW DAYS. *TR
