Consumer Description

THE LEFT ARM REST COLLAPSED TWICE AND NISSAN REPLACED IT THE FIRST TIME GRATIS. DUE TO THE HOLE ON THE ARM REST I DEVELOPED CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME OF THE LEFT ELBOW RESULTING IN SURGERY. NISSAN CLAIMS THEY HAVE HAD NO OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND IT IS NOT A "DESIGN/PRODUCTION" DEFECT BUT EXCESSIVE WEAR ON MY PART EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST OCCURANCE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 21,000 MILES.*AK
