DASH CAMERA RECORDED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WATCH UNTIL THE END OF THE VIDEO TO SHOW THE BROKEN PIECE THAT CAME OFF FROM MY CAR. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=XURGKIXXQOS I AM AN OWNER OF NISSAN ALTIMA 2003. SOME RUBBER PART IN THE FRONT UNDER MY CAR (I THINK IT'S A COVER OF SOMETHING) FELL OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 1 IN NEW JERSEY. IT CAUSED A LOSS CONTROL OF MY CAR. MY CAR SPIN AND DRIFT 180 DEGREES AND FACED AGAINST THE TRAFFIC FLOW. THEN IT GLIDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO INVESTIGATED THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO DO SO BECAUSE I SENT MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. NISSAN STATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OF THE VEHICLE REGARDING TO THAT PART AND I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE COST OF DAMAGE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THAT PART OF THE VEHICLE FALL OFF THE CAR AND CAUSE THE LOSS OF CONTROL. IF MY CAR DRIFT TO THE OTHER DIRECTION, I WOULD BE DEAD. THERE ARE SO MANY CARS WITH THE SAME MODEL AS MINE. I HOPE SIMILAR ACCIDENT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN....

THIS VEHICLE IS ON ITS SECOND CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND FLEX PIPE, I PREVIOUSLY CHANGED THEM IN AUTUM OF 2017. AFTER INSTALLING A BRAND NEW ONE FROM ROCKAUTO.COM EASTERN CATALYTIC FOR $290 LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO TWO MECHANICS AND ADVANCED AUTO PARTS WHERE THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL READ CODE P0420 LOW EFFICIENCY BANK 1. I HAD NO MONEY TO REPLACE IT AND NOW IT'S SO CLOGGED UP IT'S SHOOTING CARBON MONOXIDE BACK INSIDE THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO END UP AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE THEY TOLD ME I HAD SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I AM SUFFERING FROM MEMORY LOSS, NONCOHERENT SPEECH, UNABLE TO SEE 20/20 VISION AND CHEST PAIN. I HOPE YOU HERE AT THE NATION HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD CAN DO SOMETHING WHEN IT COMES TO ALL THESE CHEAP PARTS COMING I FROM CHINA AND BEING SOLD TO PEOPLE AS IF THERE HIGH QUALITY GOODS. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY WINDOWS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER DUE TO HIGH LEVELS OF THIS POISON.

HAD TO REPLACE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR PAN BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOLE ABOUT 15 INCHES LONG AND 5 INCHES WIDE DUE TO RUST. MY FRONT SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AT THIS POINT. RUST IS EXPECTED IN NEW YORK DUE TO SALT, BUT AFTER TALKING WITH NISSAN THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANYONE ELSE HAVING ISSUES DESPITE THOUSANDS OF HITS ON A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH ABOUT RUST ISSUES FOR NISSANS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS (BEDFORD NISSAN, 18115 ROCKSIDE RD, BEDFORD, OH 44146, (855) 981-4531) AND (GANLEY'S MAYFIELD NISSAN, 6060 MAYFIELD RD, MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, OH 44124, (440) 449-9500). BOTH DEALERS STATED THAT THEY COMPLETED RECALL REPAIRS, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONDITION WAS THE SAME AS PRIOR TO THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH A DIAGNOSIS TO REMEDY THE FAILURE FROM THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A TUNE-UP BUT, MONTHS LATER, IT CONTINUED TO FAIL TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE RECALL DETAILS, VIN, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
