Consumer Description

I WAS INVOLED IN AN ACCIDENT GOING AROUND 40 MPH WHEN THE COLLISION HAPPENED. MY ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS CRUSHED TO AND BEYOND THE RADIATOR, AS WELL AS THE HOOD BENT LIKE AN A SHAPE. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL AND NISSAN HAS NOT CONTACTED ME AFTER THERE FIRST EMAIL SAYING SOMEONE WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH ME WITHIN 2 TO 3 DAYS. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE ON A TWO LANE ROAD WHEN A VEHICLE FROM THE LEFT LANE MOVED OVER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND LOCKED UP THEIR BRAKES FOR NO REASON. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO HARDLY HIT MY BRAKES BEFORE WE COLLIDING. THE WAS A POLICE REPORT AND EVERYTHING , BUT KNOW THEY CANT FIND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE AND I CANT GET NISSAN TO TALK TO ME ABOUT WHY MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT WORK AT A CRASH AT THAT SPEED. THIS TOOK PLACE IN A CITY. I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY POLICE REPORT OR ANYTHING AND ITS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH. IM HAVING DOCTOR BILLS PILE UP AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
