Consumer Description
MY DAUGHTER PARKED MY CAR OUTSIDE AT APPROX. 10:30 P.M. AT 2:05 A.M, IT IGNITED AND EXPLODED. MY STATE FARM INVESTIGATOR SAID IT IGNITED DUE TO ABS ACTUATOR LEAKING BRAKE FLUID ONTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD. I CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT THEY CLAIM MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND ONLY HAD IT LIKE 20 DAYS. CAR WAS TOTALED! *DT CONSUMER STATED FORMER LICENSED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR, AND A CERTIFIED FIRE INVESTIGATOR SPECIALIZING IN FIRE ORIGIN AND CAUSE INVESTIGATION, AND CONSULTATION. HE ALREADY INSPECTED MY CAR AND TOLD ME MY CAR IGNITED AND EXPLODED BECAUSE THE ABS ACTUATOR PUMP LEAKED BRAKE FLUID ONTO THE INTERNAL CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH STARTED THE FIRE. *JB
