| Description of the problem | My wife and i purchased a 2007 nissan murano a few months ago. Since that time we have experienced problems with very loud screeching noises with the brakes. We have taken it back to the dealer where we bought it in lubbock, tx and to a dealer in houston. Both said this is a common problem in muranos and they are hoping for some sort of fix from nissan. They both said that to date there has been no repair initiated from the factory. I wrote an email to nissan customer service to ask for assistance and they did not care to respond. Since the brakes are such a vital part of automotive safety and these are obviously not right i want to ask for your assistance in getting this problem resolved. If it cannot be resolved would you please advise me as to how to return this car under the "lemon law" as we do not feel safe when driving it. We have taken it to two dealers and both recognize that it is a problem but neither can recommend a fix. I do not believe we should have to continue to drive a car we believe is unsafe. |
