| Description of the problem | Back in april my murano would turn off whether i was accelerating or just sitting at a stop light, the brake light and battery light would come on and vehicle wouldnt start back up, ended up having it towed 3 different times to mechanic who couldnt figure out what was wrong because it wasnt showing any codes so from there had it towed to newton nissan where it took them 10 days to diagnose it was the alternator (replaced battery first but that didnt work)ended up getting the nissan alternator versus aftermarket for the warranty, get it back everything is fine, now in august alternator fails out again, back to newton nissan we go, the replace "alternator" and when i get it back power steering isnt working so after the fixed that everything was fine until it started shutting off on me again like the very first time. Meanwhile ive had to pay over $1000 for the alternator work which was recalled however my vin didnt fall under the recall. Engine compartment and hood of car are also so hot you cant touch them even after just driving 1 mile in 70 degreee weather however the temperature gauge isnt running high. Now the airbag light is flashing on and off upon starting. I tried cycling the engine nurmerous times but the light is still on. Nissan said they will have to replace whole unit for $5000 because they cant pin point airbag issue. Airbag issue isnt fixed and nobody can tell me if i have a working air bag or not. Im not sure if i need to contact an attorney because im now concerned about the safety of my 4 year old daughter while in the vehicle. |
