“We purchased this Murano 3/4/2020. It was a demo driven by the sales manager.we noticed that when stepping on the brakes there is a grinding sound. An secure odometer reading was not attached to the contract so we do not know how many miles the sales manager drove the car.this is a federal offense with a fine up to $10,000 for pinnacle Nissan to not supply us with a secure odometer reading. We are senior citizens, I am 73 and my husband is 86. We live approximately 120 miles from the dealership. We will not drive the car because it could be fatal to our lives. …”
