NHTSA Complaint #10837454 — 2010 NISSAN VERSA

WE LIVE IN VIRGINIA, WHILE MY 18 YEAR OLD WAS DRIVING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL TO COME HOME HE FELT A HUGE BUMP COMING AROUND THE CORNER COMING HOME (THANK GOODNESS HE WAS CLOSE TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT IN THE HIGHWAY). HE STOPPED THE VEHICLE CLOSE TO THE HOUSE AND NOTICED THAT AS HE WAS TURNING THE COILS MUST HAVE HIT THE TIRE BUT DUE TO THE RUST UNDER THE CAR FROM THE SALT THE MUFFLER FELL OFF. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE SOME SEVERE DAMAGE TO SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND HIM IF HE WAS DRIVING FASTER OR IN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN COOPERATION FIRST TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. BUT SINCE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE MADE A SPECTACLE OF HERSELF WHEN I TOLD HER I HAD CANCER AND ITS THE ONLY VEHICLE WE HAVE THAT MY SON TAKES ME TO APPOINTMENTS THEY UNAVOIDABLY HAVE BEEN AVOIDING TO CALL ME BACK.. SHE TOLD ME I DONT SOUND LIKE I HAVE CANCER!! I DIDNT CALL FOR IGNORANCE I CALLED TO HAVE MY ISSUE RESOLVED NOT TO HAVE MY CANCER THROWN IN MY FACE. THEY HAD MY CLAIM NUMBER #21697765 TRANSFERRED TO THEIR HEAD OFFICE DUE TO THE INSENSITIVITY AND THE ISSUE. THEIR HEAD OFFICE CALLS AND LEAVES ME MESSAGES AT THE WORST TIMES OF THE DAY AND NEVER CALLS ME BACK WHEN I CALL. I AM ADDING A PICTURE OF THE RUSTED MUFFLER AND THE DAMAGE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY SON AND HIS LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD! TRULY THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE ON NISSAN'S PART!!! I HAVEN'T EVEN PASSED 67000 MILES ON MY CAR. PLEASE KNOW THAT ALLSTATE WAS CALLED AND ADVISED OF ISSUE ON FEB.17,2015 SAME DAY AS INCIDENT. MY REPRESENTATIVES NAME WAS SARAH AND SHE ADVISED ME TO CALL NISSAN AND THEY MUST SUPPLY A BETTER PART OR A BETTER VEHICLE DUE TO A LACK OF RESPONSE AND LACK OF SAFETY PARAMETER OF MY SONS LIFE AND IF I WAS I THE VEHICLE, MY LIFE!
