TL* THE CONTACT'S WIFE OWNS A 2014 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHOM DETERMINED THAT THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS WAS DEFECTIVE. THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE STILL OCCURRED BECAUSE THE HARNESS WAS NOT REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA AS THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN IN A "FRONT END COLLISION" AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (EST. 70-80 MPH), AT IMPACT, NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND RESULTED IN HITTING MY HEAD EITHER AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW (I AM UNSURE, AS I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS FOR SECONDS AFTER THE COLLISION). THIS COLLISION OCCURRED, MOST RECENTLY, ON 08/28/18. I WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN A "FRONT END COLLISION" WITH A SEMI-TRUCK/18-WHEELER IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. THIS WAS ALSO AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BUT THE IMPACT WAS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, PREDOMINANTLY. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE A PASSENGER, I STILL WAS HIT HARD ENOUGH THAT THE IMPACT JOLTED MY HEAD TO, ONCE AGAIN, HIT MY STEERING WHEEL AND RESULTING IN BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE ER VIA LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT. BOTH OF THESE ACCIDENTS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN MOTION.

ALL LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE ON DASHBOARD AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE RADIO WOULD TURN ON WITHOUT ANY KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN RAINING OUTSIDE AND VEHICLE WAS PARKED. AFTER AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT WHEN TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL REMAIN RUNNING FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR SO BEFORE SHUTTING OFF HARD. UPON A QUICK INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARED THE WIRES TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WERE HOT, AND I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO AVOID FIRE RISK. I HAVE A VIDEO OF WHAT THE TRUCK WAS DOING. THIS OCCURRED 4/10/16 AND IS BACK IN THE SHOP TODAY- 4/29/16 FOR THE SAME REASON.
