West Babylon, NY Crash 2 injured

STEERING

The steering wheel and brake peddle locked (unable to steer or pump brakes) causing me to lose control of the car. I ended up sideswiping a tree and rear-ending a parked pickup truck, totaling my car. This malfunction was an ongoing issue that I initially reported to the dealership which the car came from and also after occurring 2 additional times (with video evidence). The dealership stated that because they were unable to duplicate the malfunction, they could not fix the problem and due to my state's Lemon Law, Nissan Corporate could not get involved until the same malfunction occurred for a 4th time. This exact malfunction (unable to steer or pump brakes) had only occurred while the car was in reverse but unfortunately for me, the 4th occurrence happened while the car was in drive. My son and I are VERY fortunate to have walked away from this very avoidable accident with minor injuries, although the trauma will be there for a while.

Jefferson, GA

STRUCTURE:BODY

I have a 2021 Nissan Rogue in the collision shop (highly reputable corporation) for rear door scratch repair. When customer dropped off stated that her front door would not open from inside or outside. It only had 702 miles on it and still with the drive out tag. Once the door was able to get open after having to remove trim panels and such, noticed that the front drivers door release cable was too long and kept popping out of the handle base on door. Pulled the entire lock assembly and base out and works just fine, because there’s no pressure on the cable. Once installed back into vehicle, after 3 or 5 handle pulls, the handle would not unlock anymore once again. Noticed again that the release cable popped out once again out of the base. After repeating the whole process 3 times with the same result, I am now writing this concern. It would be devastating if a actual accident did occur and the cable popped off again and customer couldn’t escape out of her vehicle
