In June 2019, while driving my 2018 Nissan Maxima, the vehicle suffered a sudden and violent mechanical failure. Without warning, the steering wheel jerked forcefully to the side, and the vehicle became uncomtrollabel leading to an approx 100-foot spin across a median. ?I have since verified this vehicle was subject to NHTSA recall 19v-807 for an abs actuator leak that shorts the circuit board. This defect caused the crash, which resulted in a traumatic brain injury (tbi) with extremy worsening memory loss 4mm spinal shift (l5-s1). I have comparative mri scans (2015 vs. Post-crash) confirming the injury.
