NHTSA Complaint #10127290 — 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA

MY BATTERY/BRAKE LIGHTS WENT ON MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO AND THE ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I LOST MY BRAKES AND STEERING AND ALMOST CAUSED A BIG ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDING CARS BEHIND ME GOING 55-65 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN BUT IT DIED AT THE ENTRANCE OF A ONE LANE ROAD LEADING TO THE FDR DRIVE IN NEW YORK CITY. WORSE IS THAT THERE A BIG CONSTRUCTION UNDER THE 59TH ST. BRIDGE AND I WAS STUCK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CONSTRUCTION AND CAUSED A MAJOR, MAJOR TRAFFIC FROM YORK AVENUE TILL FDR. I HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF FDR (AWDS CANNOT BE TOWED) AND HAD TO PAY THE TOW TRUCK. AFTER THAT I HAD TO CALL A FLATBED TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALER. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG TIME AGO SO PEOPLE DO NOT GO THRU WHAT I WENT THRU. DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL PEOPLE DIE ON THE HIGHWAY? THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY DEALER SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS CHARGED FOR THE NEW BATTERY! AND OF COURSE, I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TOWING.
