| Description of the problem | The navigation system was outdated when i purchased the car as a brand new 2010 vehicle. The following news release from mdta is from november 2009 (http://www. Mdta. Maryland. Gov/news/newsreleases2009): "new traffic patterns are in effect on portions of i-95 between i-895 and md 43 and on the i-95/i-695 interchange ramps in northeast baltimore as part of the i-95 express toll lanessm project. All ramps at the i-95/i-695 interchange now exit from the right and enter the highway on the right side. At the i-95/i-895 split, i-95 traffic now stays in the left lanes while i-895 traffic moves to the right lanes. Visit i95expresstolllanes. Com for more information." local nissan dealer responded to my verbal inquiry for navigation update by telling me that i would have to purchase the update to navigation system. I now see that there is a technical service bulletin (tsb) for the navigation system for 2003-2011 nissan muranos (service bulletin no.: ntb-11-005, component(s): equipment nhtsa id number: 10035684) requiring free update (sd card or cd). I contacted the dealer and nissan corporation but both have told me that my vin is not on a recall or service bulletin list, nor are they aware of any tsb regarding the navigation system. I explained to the nissan corp rep (misty at 615-725-7588, issue #18328715, 3/23/15) what a tsb was, and that it is the manufacture's resolution to an issue. I was again told that i would have to pay for a navigation system update. The erroneous navigation information is a safety issue because it directs you to go into lanes/exits that do not exit and poses a danger when, as a driver, you have to compensate, sometimes at the last minute, crossing through highway traffic to get to the correct lane to exit (very scary). I should not have to pay for an update to what was already an outdated system when i had made my purchase. |
