NHTSA Complaint #10730720 — 2008 NISSAN ARMADA

THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE BECAME LOOSE AND FELL WHILE I WAS AT WORK ONE DAY, WHEN I CAME OUT TO MY VEHICLE THE WHOLE CONSOLE WAS HANGING BY ONE OF THE WIRES THAT CONNECTS TO THE AC AND RADIO IN THE CEILING. I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN THAT SIT IN THE SECOND SEAT OF MY VEHICLE WHERE THE CONSOLE HAD FALLEN, THANK GOODNESS THEY WERE NOT SITTING THERE THAT DAY! I HAD ASKED MY MECHANIC TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CONSOLE, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO AND SUGGESTED THAT I BRING IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. FROM THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE, NISSAN IS NOT CONSIDERING IT A RECALL ITEM .... WHY NOT??? IT IS OBVIOUSLY A BAD DESIGN, IT IS TOO BIG, IT IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE CEILING SECURELY ENOUGH FOR SUCH A BIG CONSOLE AND ONCE THE PLASTIC BECOMES OLDER AND BRITTLE .... IT BREAKS! NOW, I DO NOT HAVE AC OR LIGHTS THROUGHOUT MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE VENTS AND LIGHTS BEING IN THE CEILING FOR ANYONE RIDING IN THE SECOND AND THIRD SEATS AKA MY CHILDREN!
