2011 Nissan Murano

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND CAUSED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM TO FAIL. WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD DEACTIVATE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,202.

WHILE EXITING A PARKING SPACE AT A LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 10 MPH) THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED TO FULL THROTTLE. BRAKING WOULD NOT HOLD IT AND MY CAR RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AFTER TRAVELING 5-15 YARDS, PUSHING IT UP ON A SIDEWALK BEFORE STOPPING. BOTH CARS TOTAL LOSS DUE TO BENT FRAME/RAILS. MY FRONT END DEMOLISHED AND RADIATOR PUSHED INTO ENGINE BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AFTER THE INCIDENT IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD SNAPPED OFF.

ON FRIDAY APRIL 27, 2012 I WAS IN ALBUQUERQUE PROCEEDING EAST IN THE PASSING LANE OF CENTRAL AVENUE SE, GOING 20 MPH. A BLACK CAMERO, PROCEEDING NORTH ON JEFFERSON ST NE, RAN A STOP SIGN, SPED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT OF MY 2011 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN THIS HAPPENED NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED I SUFFERED INJURIES AND AM GOING IN FOR BACK SURGERY TOMORROW. THE MURANO FRAME WAS BENT AND THE CAR TOTALED. *JS
