“On april 10, 2015 approximately 7:50 am, I was driving east bound on sand lake road orlando florida in the slow lane when a white dodge stratus suddenly appeared out of no-where turned into the flow of traffic causing me to hit his passenger side of his car. Unfortunately the air bags did not deploy and I injured my left hand, left knee as well as got whiplash. ..updated 05/07/15”

“The air bag light is flashing. I read on line that this is very common and has been reported as a faulty switch. I would like to have this repaired for safety reasons. As I understand it Nissan is aware. Please advise.”

“Back in april my Murano would turn off whether I was accelerating or just sitting at a stop light, the brake light and battery light would come on and vehicle wouldnt start back up, ended up having it towed 3 different times to mechanic who couldnt figure out what was wrong because it wasnt showing any codes so from there had it towed to newton Nissan where it took them 10 days to diagnose it was the alternator (replaced battery first but that didnt work)ended up getting the Nissan alternator versus aftermarket for the warranty, get it back everything is fine, now in august alternator fails…”

“While driving down the highway I could hear what could best be described as a combination click and snap. At the same time I felt the lower left side of the drivers seat move. After further investigation (pictures available), I found that a supporting bracket has sheared in two places. This causes the seat to be very loose. One of the power seat functions will cause the seat to raise up only on the right side.”
