NHTSA Complaint #10125445 — 2003 NISSAN MURANO

1) MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK AND THE BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOLD HER THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO LOW BRAKE FLUID AND THAT I'D CHECK IT WHEN SHE GOT HOME IN THE EVENING. 2) ON HER WAY HOME FROM WORK, THE CAR SUDDENLY DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE (I495) DURING RUSH HOUR. THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO THE GREAT VOLUME OF TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT VERY HIGH SPEED. FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT BEING REAR ENDED. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO OUR HOUSE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND CAME ACROSS A NISSAN MURANO FORUM WHICH HAD A DETAIL DESCIPTION OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. IF I HAD RECEIVED SOME TYPE ON NOTIFICATION ON THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD NOT HAVE PUT MY WIFE LIFE IN JEOPARDY BY ADVISING HER TO TAKE THE CAR HOME. 3) I WILL BE CONTACTING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.
