NHTSA Complaint #10120902 — 2003 NISSAN MURANO

IN FEBRUARY 2005 THE ALTERNATOR FAILED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY AND THE CAR SLOWED TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE BATTERY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THE CAR WAS REPAIRED 48 HOURS LATER. IN MARCH 2005 THE GAS TANK LID WOULDN'T OPEN AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT TOOK 48 HOURS TO REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE "REPAIR" WAS DONE BY PRYING THE LID OPEN AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECIEVED THE NEW PART. IN MAY 2005 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STILL HAVE THE CAR AND EXPECT TO HAVE IT FOR TWO WEEKS AT LEAST. THEY CANNOT GUARENTEE THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR THE RENTAL CAR COSTS WHICH WILL AMOUNT TO AT LEAST $350 AT $25 A DAY. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT.
