Car was T-bone only the two doors passenger already fixed
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 3AM ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 60 MPH AND THE HOOD OF THE CAR RELEASED AND FLEW OPEN AND SLAMMED INTO MY WINDSHIELD WITH HIGH IMPACT. IF NOT FOR THE TIME AND LESS TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE MY WAY ONTO THE SHOULDER AND CALL A TOW TRUCK.
MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN ANOTHER CAR STRUCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR BUMPER. THE ENTIRE QUARTER PANEL WAS CAVED IN AND THE BUMPER ALMOST KNOCKED OFF, THE TAIL LIGHT SHATTERED AS WELL. THE ESTIMATED DAMAGE IS OVER 3500.00. THIS SEEMS HIGHLY UNSAFE AS THE CAR IS LITERALLY PLASTIC, WE HAD KNOW WARNING NOR INFORMED THE CAR WAS SO EASILY DAMAGED AND COULD POTENTIALLY TAKE A LIFE OR INJURE A PERSON SEVERELY. SINCE THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THE DAMAGE OCCURRED AND IT WAS DONE BY A CAR BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED WE FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR NOW AND WANT NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OR TRADE OUR CAR FOR A STABLE CAR NOT A DEATH TRAP. WE LIVE IN UTAH AND PEOPLE DRIVE LIKE PSYCHOS.
I GOT INTO A FENDER BENDER HITTING MY RIGHT CORNER OF MY BUMPER AGAINST THE BACK LEFT OF A COROLLA AND THE BUMPER GOT KNOCKED OFF SUPER EASILY. PREVIOUSLY BACK INTO A LAMP POST AND THE BACK BUMPER FELL OFF EASILY AS WELL. DOESN'T SEEM VERY SAFE TO ME .
