Recently reported STRUCTURE problems on 2006 Nissan Frontier

My friend and i were traveling on the i-40e in new mexico. he was driving my truck and feel asleep at the wheel. he woke up and oversteered and caused us to crash my truck into the right side highway ditch at about 70 miles per hour. we hit first with the front right of my truck and then tumbled 3 times smashing all sides of the truck especially the front. we had our seat belts on so we weren't ejected, but air bags never deployed. my dog was in the backseat of the 4 door truck and was ejected and died shortly after. i sustained several injuries to my face, head, arms, shoulders, and back. *tr

Weather turned from rain to icy. south bound on street that overpass interstate. truck spun around several times first in south bound lane hitting guard rail on west side, went over the curb and median into north bound lane spin again before coming to rest against 4ft high concrete divider on bridge. the driver side air bag is the only one that deployed. my wife was in passenger seat. no other air bags deployed. this truck had dual stage supplemental front air bags and nissan aabs.. thankfully our seat belts were probably what protected us from being thrown from the truck. as i stated only the air bag in steering wheel deployed. this should be looked into with all the recalls going on. i had not received any notice about this problem. i went to emergency room the following tuesday to get xray of chest because of pain. my wife went to her dr also. *tr

Refer to odi confirmation number 103268. the summary was completely entered in a false manner. my actual complaint was that there were no camper adjustment devices installed on the original vehicle, not that they had become defective. they were never there!!! i do not appreciate being blown off nor should i be mis-quoted, no that is not harsh enough, my complaint was completely fabricated. i tried to contact the odi office using the phone number provided on the nhtsa website "contact odi (888) 327-4236 tty: (800) 424-9153" but this number told they could contact the odi office or give me a phone number, so here i sit typing due to your original [xxx] in entering this complaint. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
