I [xxx] purchased the vehicle from daytona, Nissan on [xxx] on the morning of [xxx], the airbag light came on. And was flashing. I took videos of all the different occurrences. I went back to the dealership and talked to the salesman that sold it to us. His name was simon. And he brought us in, and we were talking to a manager they disconnected the battery and try to reset it as we were leaving, the salesman walked us out. When we fired up the vehicle, the whole dash flashed and went black in front of the salesman. A day later, we broke down in the truck and had to be jumped. We took it to the dealership, and they put a new battery in and a couple days later, it came on again. But took it in again, and they put us in a rental car for a week they told us when we got the truck back that they changed a airbag sensor and then a couple weeks later, my son was driving and the vehicle stalled on him while driving it took him 4x to fire it back up. When it did fire back up, it would only go 7 mile an hour. And it was jerking forward. He took it directly to Nissan. They ran some diagnostic on it. And disconnect the battery again, but they couldn't see it. Do it again. So on [xxx] the airbag light came back on. And finally on September 11th we took it back to the dealership, and they put us in a rental car. And the mechanic told us that he thinks that it possibly could be the indicator light. The parts manager at daytona Nissan said he's looked on the website and they said that the part that we need is on. Indefinite, back order and probably won't get it. We have contacted Nissan corporate to try to resolve the situation her named is bhavika phone number 888-800-5139 ext 7320456 case # [xxx] she says the vehicle is not safe to drive I don't feel safe driving this vehicle I'm having to pay $820 a month for a vehicle that's unsafe and not in my possession.

My husband and I bought a new truck. My husband pulled the truck into our garage, once in the garage the back tires started to spin out of control, he looked down and saw he had his foot on the brake only, but truck surged forward causing no injuries but have minor truck and property damage. Have a picture of where there is stationary tire marks on our epoxy garage floor showing the black tire marks of the tires spinning out of control just before the truck surged forward. After this incident we found articles about sudden unintended acceleration which we feel is what happened to my husband. The dealership we bought the vehicle from has been derogatory from the start of this incident. We have contacted several attorneys to only be turned down saying we don’t have a case because my husband wasn’t injured (thank god). We waived the manufacturer arbitration and found only one attorney who took us through pre-litigation but then discharged us after getting the denial letter from the manufacturer, telling us to get a second opinion. We're at a crossroads and don't know what to do at this point. Morally, would it be right to trade in what we feel is a dangerously defective new vehicle? for that is the crossroads we stand at, either pursuing a civil lawsuit or trading it in. The truck was inspected once by the manufacturer and once by the dealership where we bought it. We are currently asking the dealership’s garage to further check the electronic throttle-control and brake override system on this truck. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
