NHTSA Complaint #10606994 — 2008 NISSAN ARMADA

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT REGARDING THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE IN MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. INITIALLY I RAISED CONCERN ABOUT THE CONSOLE BEING LOOSE. THIS MORNING THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL ONTO MY CHILD.I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT WHY NO RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED WHEN THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE GOTTEN THE RUNAROUND FROM THEM. I TOOK MY ARMADA TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING TO REPAIR THE CONSOLE. I WAS TOLD THERE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE CONSOLE IS SECURED BY PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT EVENTUALLY BREAK. THE CONSOLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED, ONLY REPLACED. TO REPLACE THE CONSOLE IS $2900. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NISSAN'S USE OF SUBPAR PARTS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS. FORTUNATELY MY CHILD WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
