The contact's son owned a 2016 Nissan Sentra.

A police report was filed. The contact mentioned that her son sustained bruised chest and the driver from the other vehicle sustained rib inquiries that needed medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was towed to the tow lot. The dealer was not contacted.
Car started struggling when going at higher speed above 60 MPH especifically when going uphill even if its a small hill on the freeway also when going down hill seems like something is also wrong with the brakes and makes weird sounds almost like the brakes dont want to stop the car took to a mechanic but no warnings come up and seems to be transmission which I did get a notice through mail that their could be possible recall for transmission.
