| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 nissan murano. The issue originated with the air intake problem that nissan recalled last year. Prior to the recall i had taken my car in because of the poor performance and near accidents that the air intake issue caused. I had taken the car to town north nissan to have the issue checked out and they said the problem was my motor mounts were defective and that would fix the air intake issue. I continued to experience issues with the air intake and fixing the motor mounts did not resolve this problem. After the air intake recall came out i took the car in to have the parts replaced. While picking up my car i spoke to the service manager about my frustration on having to replace the motor mounts which never resolved the problem. The service manager explained that they were aware that the motor mounts on the murano were weak (not just mine but across the board) and they felt that would resolve the problem. I have had numerous cars in my life and have put over 100,000 miles on several of the cars that i owned and i have never had to replace the motor mounts. If nissan knows that the motor mounts are weak on this car then why has that part not been recalled? |
