Body problem #1

The cvt transmission is making a winning nose and has been doing so since I bought it.

Body problem #2

Car was in motion when it begun sputtering and shaking as I accelerated. I drove back home, about 5 minutes, and opened the hood. Car was on and parked for the visual inspection. My partner put the car in reverse to see if I could see what could be causing the problem. The motor shook when it was put in reverse. Immediately something near the fuel lines started to emit smoke. It looked like aluminum foil. The car had a half tank of gas and gauges seemed normal. I turned off the car and went inside the house to get my tools. When I came out, the car was engulfed in flames coming from the motor. 9-1-1 was called and firefighters put out the fire in about 30 minutes. The fire spread rapidly and the car was destroyed when the fire was finally extinguished.

Body problem #3

My vehicle was in a car accident 4-2-2015. Mercury insurance lisa openshaw failed to investigate the underbody of the car in the rear. Shocks were bent inwards in the rear and never repaired by Mercury. I had the shocks repaired. Along with the estimates of repair lisa openshaw threatened me by stating that Mercury paid for repairs twice duplicating labor on same matters. She tried to say the damages on the inside did not matter and damages on the outside was all that mattered. She also tried to violate the law to say I could not use my own repair facilities. The damages total enough to total the car and my vehicle was placed at risk compromising my safety while daily driving. I sent a complaint regarding the negligence of my car not being rightfully totaled. Attached are all documents for review. I have cc'd ricardo lara , the California insurance commissioner regarding this matter asking that he respond to me ASAP regarding the serious urgency of the smatter since it has been literally 5 years. According to the recent letter by commissioner ricardo lara, all claims are to be paid to include car damages with no dishonesty and negligence. I am requesting that my car be totaled in full as at the time of the car accident , the value was $ 9500 plus tax and license for replacement value. Once the car is totaled, Mercury insurance may update state farm insurance, the defendant's insurance company.

Body problem #4

My car was involved in a rear end accident April 2, 2015 while stopped at red stop arrow light and a front end accident 10-20-2015 while stopped in left turning lane and no airbags deployed. Saefty issue --airbags should have deployed.

Body problem #5

2007 Nissan Sentra failed to come to a complete stop and impacted with an SUV at approximately 35mph. Hood, front bumper and front grill need a complete replacement due to damage. Although driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident, moderate neck and back injuries were sustained. Air bags failed to deploy.

Body problem #6

My daughter had an accident yesterday and she hit someone on the front drivers side. The impact was on the front drivers side and the front fender and other parts of the front bumper. The disturbing part of this is that the airbag did not deploy. The policeman and tow truck driver were very concerned that the airbag did not employ. She could have been seriously injured. She appears to be sore at this point.
