| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This is a copy of the text i sent nissan. to: interested parties nissan usa reference # 5652837. i now own a 2003 murano vin 3 j. i have a problem that i am not resolved on and details are as follows: i am a reserve navy officer now deployed to iraq, which makes this entire evolution a bit difficult. my son chris wilson age 22 was driving the murano on march 14, 2007 near his college in cullowhee, north carolina when while at highway speed noticed the check engine light illuminated and then experienced an immediate loss of power and engine shutdown. he was able to get the vehicle out of active traffic safely with no power steering or brake assist. witnesses to the event claimed he was lucky and skilled to maneuver off the highway without endangering himself and others in traffic. we then searched for local dealerships to take the vehicle to contacted them and arranged for the vehicle to be towed there. after an analysis and the part number of a transmission control module tcm. i went to the nissan usa web site and researched recalls that had been issued for 2003 muranos. i was very interested to find one for vin numbersjn8az08t*3w 100007-100032,jn8az08w* 200005-200071. i realize that my vin number is not one of these and the nice folks at the call center and the service folks at the dealerships are powerless to do anything unless there is a vin match. the recall quotes: ''on some 2003 muranos there is a possibility that the engine might stop running while being driven if the crank position sensor fails. this may also result in the ''service engine soon'' light coming on or reduced engine power. it is the same result as what happened to my car. i am a professional mechanical engineer and i feel ethically sound in making the request and maintaining an unresolved position on this matter. *ak |
