EVERY TIME I TOUCH THE BRAKE I HEAR A SQUEAKING SOUND. SOUNDS ALMOST LIKE A BIRD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY OILED IT. THE SOUND WENT AWAY BUT IS NOW BACK AGAIN AFTER ONLY A FEW WEEKS. *JB

THIS PAST WEEK I HAD TWO TRANSMISSION RUBBER LINES BREAK. ONE ON A TRIP UPSTATE NEAR THE DELAWARE WATER GAP. I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A NEW RUBBER LINE. THE OLD HOSE JUST BROKE OFF IN MY HANDS. WE DROVE HOME FINE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, THE OTHER HOSE BROKE OFF. THE CAR IS NOW GOING BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. TRANSMISSION FLUID IS FLAMMABLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND THE RUBBER LINES SHOULD NOT BREAK OFF LIKE THEY DID. *TR

I DRIVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO SL. THE VEHICLE PERIODICALLY DOES NOT SAFELY ACCELERATE WHILE IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I HAD MY WIFE, 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE SLUGGISHLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION AND TEMPORARILY STALLED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED US TO BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO ABOUT 4000 RPM'S THEN PROCEEDING TO ACCELERATE. I SEE THIS PROBLEM AS A MAJOR SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE AND CAN BE THE ROOT CAUS…

THE VEHICLE'S CURRENT PROBLEM IS THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS MALFUNCTIONED, AND DEFECTED WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE AND BATTERY TO SHUT OFF AND DIE. THIS ALREADY OCCURRED MORE THAN 3 TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE OIL TANK PIPE LEAKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN THE DEFECTED ALTERNATOR FAILS, THEN IT CAUSES THE BATTERY AND ENGINE TO SHUT OFF AND DIE. IF A PERSON IS DRIVING A DEFECTED VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECTED AND MALFUNCTIONED ALTERNATOR THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUTOFF AND DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR STREET THEN A HUGE ACCIDENT CAN OCCU…

THE DRIVER'S SEAT JAMMED IN ONE POSITION AND WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WELD ON THE FRAME BROKE AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT WARRANT WELDING IT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRAME, WHICH INCLUDED ALL MOTORS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND THE COST WOULD BE $1,400. I THOUGHT THE COST WAS ASTRONOMICAL FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT NOW OBVIOUSLY MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SEAT MAY BREAK AWAY FROM THE FRAME COMPLETELY AND CAUSE A SERIOUS A…
