Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN OUR ROAD WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE ON HER 2003 NISSAN MURANO LOCKED UP AND LOCKED THE BACK WHEELS SPINNING HER INTO THE DITCH AND SIGN POST. SHE WASN'T HURT. I DID ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM, AND IT TURNS OUT THAT NISSAN KNOWS THERE WAS DEFECTIVE TRANNY AND TRANSFER CASES ON THE 03, AND 04 MURANOS. THEY EVEN ISSUED T.S.B.S TO THE DEALERS ABOUT THE DEFECT. MY QUESTION IS, WHY THEY AREN'T BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM? WHY NO RECALL? ISN'T YOUR JOB TO MAKE THE AUTO MAKERS MAKE A SAFE PRODUCT AND WHEN THEY DON'T, CALL THEM ON THEIR FAULTS. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF NISSAN OWNERS LIKE MYSELF THAT ARE GETTING NOWHERE WITH NISSAN. OUR DOMESTIC AUTO MAKERS HAVE TO LIVE WITH RECALLS, WHY NOT NISSAN? *TR
