THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED PRETTY EXTENSIVELY (TOTAL LOSS), WITH DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE FENDER AND A DIRECT IMPACT TO THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE PUSHING THE INTERIOR BUMPER APPROX. 10" BACK AND INTO THE RADIATOR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THIS CRASH. WE HAD BEEN TOLD PREVIOUSLY THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS, AND WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, NOTHING WAS DONE BECAUSE THEY RAN A REPORT STATING THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT DUE FOR THE RECALL.

ON TOP OF ALL OF THE RECALLS, BRAKE AND STARTING ISSUES IT NOW STARTING TO FALL APART. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A NOISE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM DRIVING 60-75MPH ON THE INTERSTATE.
