NHTSA Complaint #10244039 — 2004 NISSAN MURANO

SAID VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE LEAVING A LIGHT AND ENTERING I 395 IN URBAN AREA WITH AN ONCOMING TRACTOR TRAILER COMING SWIFTLY BEHIND ME. THE REASON THE VEHICLE STOPPED IS BECAUSE THE AIR VAC HOSE CONTINUALLY COMES LOSE FROM REGULAR USE OF A NISSAN MURANO 2004. THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. LAST YEAR, THE VEHICLE STOPPED GOING UP A MOUNTAIN IN WV AROUND A CURVE ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY. THE ONLY REASON THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I DID NOT GET HIT AND/OR KILLED (DUE TO LOCATION) WAS BECAUSE OF THE ASSISTANCE OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE THAT WAS PREPARED WITH CONES AND INFORMATION. TODAY, I ALMOST GOT SLAMMED INTO BY A TRAILOR. I HAD TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE AND WAVE ARMS TO GET HIM TO STOP. I AM SO ANGRY, NOT ONLY BECAUSE THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD CHILD WHO HAS BEEN SCREAMING OUT OF FEAR DURING TWO OF THE INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I CALLED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN MOTOR ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL WHICH I CANNOT UNDERSTAND. PLEASE HELP! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
