Failure of multiple systems upon impact with a pothole causing the vehicle to light up brake warning light, traction control system warning light, and spin out with no steering capability, resulting in a total loss of the car, including the rear passenger tire and wheel to sheer off, snapped the tie rod, ripped off the rear bumper, and bent the vehicle rims. I suffered a closed head injury and whiplash, as well as soft tissue damage to right shoulder and knee. Airbags did deploy.

I have had to replace both control arms, rebuild a transmission that went out, my entire ac just went out, I am constantly replacing brakes and disk, ball joints and shocks. I have spent over what I am still paying for this car and have only had it for about 5 years and still owe $18000 and paying everything out of pocket.

My 2014 Nissan Maxima with my family and myself inside were in a near death situation when the car did not have power to cross train tracks that went across the road. We heard the train coming and the only reason we escaped death was because of a man in a pickup truck in back of us observed the situation and quickly pushed the car over the tracks and out of the way just before the train quickly passed through. I later found out from the dealership that the Nissan cvt transmission failed and that was why the car didn't have the power to cross the train tracks. They also said that the cvt transmission repair would cost me $5000 and that the repair wasn't covered under any cvt transmission warranty. Nissan should cover this repair on there known troublesome cvt transmission. Would Nissan cover expenses from the death of my family and myself because of there faulty transmission?
