NHTSA Complaint #10643360 — 2014 NISSAN ROGUE

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TAKING MY WIFE TO WORK. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH BECAUSE OF MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN CHICAGO IS HEAVY. I TURNED MY HEAD TO ANSWER MY WIFE AND BEING DISTRACTED I TURNED MY HEAD BACK AND SAW THE BIG SUV IN FRONT OF ME WAS STOPPED AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SLID INTO THE REAR OF HIS SUV. ONLY A SMALL DING AND SCRATCH I SEEN AND MY CAR HAD THE BUMPER BROKEN, HOOD BENT UP, CRINKLES IN SIDE FENDERS. EVEN THE POLICE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW THE CAR WAS ALL DAMAGED AT THAT TYPE SPEEDS AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. ANYWAY I WAS TOLD PROBABLY I WAS GOING TOO SLOW AND SLID INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND MAYBE THERE IS A CERTAIN FORCE TO MAKE THEM BLOW OFF. I GOT A LITTLE OVER $5000 DAMAGE. LIKE THE CAR IS AS THIN AS A POP CAN AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE BODY SHOP WHEN THEY REPAIR IT IS GOING TO CHECK THE AIR BAG SYSTEM... I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY CLAIM A SUPERVISOR WILL BE CALLING ME BACK IN A FEW DAYS... *TR
