NHTSA Complaint #10764103 — 2009 NISSAN MURANO

WHILE DRIVING THE AUTOMOBILE MADE A LOW BUZZING SOUND AND IMMEDIATELY STOPPED MOVING. ALL POWER WAS LOST. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE AUTOMOBILE, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO STILL ON AND WORKING. I ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR ONCE AND THE AUTO ACCELERATED AND ALL POWER WAS LOST AGAIN, THIS TIME COMPLETELY. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY REGULAR NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. DIAGNOSIS: BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. WHILE ON MY WAY FROM WORK, THE EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO AUTONATION NISSAN AGAIN AND AS I TYPE THIS COMPLAINT THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO ARRIVE AT THE PROPER DIAGNOSIS. I AM ALL OF A SUDDEN IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE, HAD I BEEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY (I-95, SR-826, FL TURNPIKE, ETC. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WITH THESE TWO SUDDEN STOPS IF I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS AUTOMOBILE. IT IS IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. ONLY CONSTANT ISSUES WITH "TIRE SENSORS" EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED.
