There is no way that won't be 'totalled'. Sorry to hear of that. That bumper part on the Xterra is one solid hunk, no?

 

[kkodet]

I have a good red b-pillar

Sent from my C6725

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

I have some parts also.

 

[LittleRedWgon]

man...sorry to see this. Glad no one got hurt.

 

[g-man]

Yeah, I'll prob have to fix myself. Don't see myself winning the lottery here with the insurance company.

I am curious about the Xterra and her claim the "ignition cut off" ?

Zack

And then she starts to pull 360s....... seems odd to say the least....

 

[juanchogaviria]

Sorry about your 60. Glad no one got hurt. It would have been different if you where in a prius... just saying...

 

[g-man]

Yes.. I to believe in the "biggest lug nut theory". ..ie the one with the biggest lug nuts wins!!

As far as her spinning 360s..I thought about this too. I wonder if the steering got away from her ...or perhaps when she tried to brake ...the brakes pulled to one side w/out power to steering or brake. Also I wonder what the transmission was being told by the ecm when it cut off??? Did it slam into another gear???

Makes you wonder if all this modern technology is so great after all.

My vote is that she had operator error. Driver malfunction

 

[cruiserpilot]

All I can say is 'Good Luck!'. Too bad, really nice looking rig. J

 

[tgadd]

Most important was noone hurt. Hope the insurance treats you well

It sounds to me like either operator error or the equipment are likely scenarios.

If it indeed did cut off, which is unlikely, but has happened, then I'd be after all sorts of damages and Nissan would be rebuilding my Cruiser. Insurance will def. total it, so go after the big pockets.

Nissan cars recalled: Ignition problem? Do this.

I'd be contacting a P.I. Lawyer.

 

[AbnMike]

She has has previous issues with the ignition cutting out while driving and she still drove?

Yep. Lawyer. I'd also limit future comments about it as well. And get a lawyer yourself and do not ever talk to her insurance company. Ever. Let your lawyer do it.

I made that mistake once, I was honest, claimed I saw a yellow light (on a bicycle no less) and went through it. So did their client, in a car, turning left in front of me. Broke my hip when I hit her (I had right of way) and they paid not one cent. Since we both went through a yellow we were both at fault.

 

[g-man]

If I was laid up in a hospital bed with major medicals... I would def be lawyered up. Don't think any lawyer would be interested in peanut $$ that we're talking about today. Hell I would prob be paying the lawyer more than the insurance pay out.

 

[onemanarmy]

SOME lawyer would be interested.

your insurance is not gonna pay what a clean 60 is really worth

and the insurance payout covers the lawyer cost as well. No money out of your pocket and you get your 60 fixed, properly. Remember, this was someone else's fault/negligence, no reason you should be affected in ANY way.

just how I would handle it if someone totaled my Cruiser.
