NHTSA Complaint #10118847 — 2003 NISSAN MURANO

WHILE DRIVING DOWN ONE OF THE BUSIEST 8 LANE HIGHWAYS IN TAMPA MY CAR DECIDED THAT IT DIDN'T WANT TO STAY CRANKED AND DIED RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY, MY ROOM MATE WAS BEHIND ME AND JUMPED OUT TO HELP ME PUSH IT BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT. WE ASSUMED IT WAS OUT OF GAS, WHICH IT WASN'T. AFTERWARDS, WE REALIZED THAT WE TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR OFF BECAUSE NOW IT WASN'T TURNING OVER. IT CRANKED , AND I MADE IT TO THE INTERSECTION. AGAIN, IT DIED ON ME ONCE MORE. SO WE LEFT THE CAR OVERNIGHT IN BARNES AND NOBLE PARKING LOT. I CAME BACK SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAY 1, 2005 AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. IT CRANKED RIGHT UP. I DROVE 2 MILES HOME. THEN 6 MILES TO NORTH TAMPA, ONLY TO HAVE MY CAR DIE PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A FRIEND'S APARTMENT COMPLEX. I LET IT SIT FOR A FEW HOURS, CRANKED IT UP AND IT CRANKED. THEN MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO THE ON RAMP OF I75 SOUTH, ONLY TO HAVE IT DIE AGAIN. IT WA S NOW SITTING AT A FRIENDS HOUSE. I MANAGED TO DRIVE IT 1 MILE AN HOUR IN IDLE INTO SOMEONE'S APARTMENT COMPLEX, WHERE IT NOW SITS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TOW IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP.*AK
