NHTSA Complaint #10411788 — 2003 NISSAN MURANO

SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL FAILURES WITH IT THAT THE DEALER HAS EITHER CLAIMED THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE, HAS FAILED TO FIX OR INDICATES THAT MY MODEL IS NOT PART OF A RECALL EFFORT, EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS REPRODUCING THE VERY SAME SYMPTOMS THE RECALLS STATE THEY ADDRESS. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THE FAILURE OF THE CAM POSITION SENSORS AND CRANK POSITION SENSORS. BOTH HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SIMPLY STOP IN ONGOING TRAFFIC CREATING AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO ACTUALLY DIE BEFORE WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY CONSTRUCTION WITH THE MURANO? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST LIFE-THREATENING INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR!!! I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE DIED!!! I COMPLETELY LOST ACCELERATION ON INTERSTATE 70 AT 10:30 P.M. AT NIGHT WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR! WHAT DID THE DEALERSHIP DO TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION? REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR THAT WAS ALREADY ON RECALL AND THREATENED TO CHARGE ME FOR THE COST UNTIL I THREATENED LEGAL ACTION...THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, TOOK CARE OF IT! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT
