“I am filing this complaint to let you know that nissans windshields are very brittle. I went to smush a bug and it shattered it. This has been an ongoing problem in our 6th gen Nissan Altima group and we want it to get fixed. This is a safety concern, and not only to mention how expensive the windshields are.”

Since then, the emergency braking has applied multiple times in the open by itself with no cars ahead or in view. It makes me very nervous to drive this. It has happened both on city streets and the highway. I tried telling the Nissan dealership and they have no knowledge and are not willing to work with me for failure and damages.”
