My wife was driving a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder on 12/24/08. Road condition was wet with some slush. The traction light (slip) and low tire indicators were on as this was an on going problem with flagpole Nissan in oneonta NY and they were aware of this. All of a sudden there was a slight sudden acceleration of the vehicle with a complete loss of brakes. The vehicle fishtailed then eventually rolled over two times. She was driving at approx 45 mph. The vehicle rolled over 2 lanes of traffic, being stopped by several trees, so in addition to rollover damage, severe front end damage resulted, the impact into the trees severe enough to cause the front end to bend, so one front wheel points left while the other points right. Side curtain airbags deployed fully, dashboard airbags did not. The airbags were repaired by the dealer a few months ago when the air bag warning light came on, but there repair only corrected the warning light but its operation was still flawed. This can be proved as after the accident, my mechanic accessed the codes stored and found numerous faults, some being air bag control unit failure and crash zone comm. And unit failure, among other related trouble codes. Also at the repair shop, the engine started like a top, no warning lights were on and the brakes had full power (there was no brake fluid leak). My wife had injuries to her head, (from hitting the steering wheel), neck, back and leg injuries and was taken to the hospital. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance company.
