In 2016 the driver side, front, outside door handle had broken off. I had it fixed only to have it broken off again this past spring. This time ordered the part myself right from Nissan. This was such an inconvenience of trying to open the door until it was fixed. Now the driver side back, outside door handle broke! just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?? I live in the country so there is no one around to damage it. It is parked in the driveway off the street.

I turned out of a parking lot. Merged into lane headed towered cleveland ave. I ran the red light and hit a car. I hit it head on going 40 and the air bags did not deploy. I was also 16 weeks pregnant and had to be take to the hospital for further evaluation. The front on my car was damaged so bad to the point where the whole front of the car frame was bent. The police said that the impact and how much damage was done my airbags should have deployed. But they did not.

A lady (1) fall asleep then crash on lady (2), then lady (2) crash on our car, but instead of braking the lady (2) she pushes her accelerator crashes and pushes our car to lady (3) in front of us. Our tire explodes, the airbag passenger did not blow out and my wife has a neck injury. My daughter 4 Y/old is fine. We have a police report. The car declared total loss. Hospital bill for my wife and a lots of nightmare for my daughter and headaches for the husband.
