Nissan Murano Suspension Safety Report | Dec 26, 2011
Reported on Dec 26, 2011
| WHILE DRIVING ON THE DEALER PROVIDED SPEAR, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS DAMAGED AND CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO GRIP AT 50 MPH. THE WHEELS WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP IF I HAD CONTINUED DRIVING AT THAT RATE OF SPEED. THIS IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION, BECAUSE THE DEALER PROVIDED SPEAR IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE (AWD/SUV). I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE IF THE WHEELS HAD LOCKED UP COMPLETELY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR IN TRAFFIC. I AM A NURSE AT AN ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL AND I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *JS | |
