problem #1

Jun 212004

Murano 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,000 miles
(1) vehichle was operating normally, then the battery and brake warning lights came on. 2) while driving down the interstate looking for a dealership, the entire car shut down, including the engine and braking. I had to cross 2 lanes of interstate traffic to get to the shoulder without power or adequate braking. At the time, I was travelling out of town and was stranded in a city where I knew no one. (3) after being towed to a dealer, the day after I was told the alternator and battery were both bad. A new alternator had to be ordered but there were none in the immediate area and didn't know when one would be available. The alternator and battery were eventually replaced at no cost to me, 3 working days after arriving. Old parts are not available. Pe04077_cat
