| Description of the problem | My 2099 nissan murano has 67,000 miles, 2 days ago while traveling home from a local store in the rain trying to stop at a stop sign the brake pedal went completely to the floor and brakes did not work. The car went into the intersection, thankfully no other cars were coming. Brake pedal continues to go to the floor, car doesnot stops until standing on the pedal pushing it completely to the floor. Took it to my mechanic, he drained the brake lines to get rid of any air and put in new brake fluid. Did not help. He then told me to look at the complaints and open investigation about the many 2009 murano having this same problem and all the money owners have spent to try to fix the problem with no good results. I also called the nissan dealer and they said they never heard of any problems with the 2009 murano. I am thankful my mechanic did his homework. But now i am stuck with a $275. 00 a month payment for a car that is not safe to drive and nobody, even the nissan dealers admit that there is a true problem or defect and nobody knows how to fix it. Without you admitting there is a defect and requiring a recall is forcing people to continue to drive these cars with faulty brakes. I just hope it does not take a death or two for this defect to be recalled because with all the documented issues being basically the same and your investigation being open for over a year i am sure many people will be opening law suits if death or injury occur. This is a serious situation and these car owners deserve more then what they are receiving from you and nissan. Time to step up and fix this before anybody else gets hurt or any deaths occur. Your note says to retain any documentation for 5 years, well in 5 years these cars will be14 years old and seeing that this problem seems to start around 65,000 miles, this needs fix now! |
