AT RANDOM TIMES, AFTER BRAKING OVER BUMPS OR IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD SURFACES, AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOSES ALL PRESSURE MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. WHEN DRIVING IT IN THE SNOW, AFTER THE ABS SYSTEM IS TRIGGERED, THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOSES PRESSURE, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AT ONE MOMENT, I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY DOWN A SNOWY HILL, WHEN THE BRAKE SYSTEM SUDDENLY LOST PRESSURE AND THE ABS ONLY ENGAGED AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AT THAT TIME, IT WAS TOO LATE AND I SLID THROUGH AN INTERSECTION …

THE PROBLEM IS WITH NISSAN CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT), IN PARTICULAR MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN IN HOT WEATHER FOR MORE THAN 200 MILES IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. NO MATTER HOW FAR THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THE CAR WILL SLOWLY ACCELERATE FROM 0 TO 15 MI/HR IN EXCESS OF 10 SECONDS! ONCE THE CAR IS MOVING ABOVE 15 MI/SEC, NORMAL ACCELERATION RESUMES. THIS PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT, NISSAN MURANO OWNER'S CALL THIS "LIMP MODE". IF YOU SEARCH GOOGLE.COM FOR NISSAN CVT ISSUE OR LIMP MODE…

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN A 55 MPH ZONE AND AS WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, ALL DASH LIGHTS WERE ON AS NORMAL. WE WERE LUCKY TO COAST OFF WITHOUT BEING HIT AND WE HAD OUR 10 MONTHS OLD WITH US. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER AND NOW 5 DAYS LATER DEALER CALLED TO LET US KNOW THAT THEY DIAGNOSED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY FAILURE, WHICH IS NO LONGER COVERED.. WE WERE NOT WILLING TO PAY THE $1100 THAT THE DEALER QUOTED US SO WE HAD THE SAME TOW TRUCK DRIVER PICK OUR CAR BACK UP FROM THE DEALER AND BRING THE CAR TO OUR HOME. WHEN T…

VEHICLE LOSES POWER, INCONSISTENTLY, WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION, SUCH AS AT A RED LIGHT, LEADING TO NEAR-REAREND COLLISION, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING DURING THESE OCCASIONS, AND AFTER PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR IT "KICKS BACK INTO FOWARD GEAR. NOW I AM GETTING CODE P1778 (WAS NOT GETTING THIS CODE FOR A LONG TIME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MANIFESTING THIS LOSS OF POWER).

I HAVE TO GO BUY ANOTHER BATTERY, A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND IN NO TIME DRAINED THE BATTERY AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING REGARDLESS IF ANYTHING IS TURNED ON OR NOT.

UNSAFE DESIGN OF TILT STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT LEVER (SWAL) THAT WILL CAUSE A SHATTERED LEFT KNEE IN A FRONT OR REAR CRASH (FORC). THE SWAL IS POSITIONED ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN SO THAT THE LEFT KNEE WILL BE SHATTERED IN A FORC. OTHER VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE THIS DESIGN FLAW. NISSAN MAINTAINS THAT THE SWAL DESIGN HAS NOT RESULTED IN PROBLEMS AND THEREFORE NOTHING WILL BE DONE. IN OTHER WORDS, UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT TAKES ACTION TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURIES NISSAN WILL DO NOTHING. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BIG BUSINESS NOT TAKING…
