2004 Nissan Murano Complaint Log

Braking locked looses power then accelerates smell like gas is leaking

Driver seat front left side has a rocking motion to it. I’ve read a lot of others have found this issue was supposed to be fixed from 2003-2004 and the parts have been updated to address the issue. I am worried my seat movement will create an unsafe driving condition.

Rear subframe where it connects to shock mounts is completely rusted through at both sides of the car. Causes the tops of the wheels to bow in and is undrivable

The rear k frame rusted out ,all of a sudden the vehicle started swaying out of control on gravel or wet roads, no rust on the vehicle except the rear k frame, I parked the vehicle because it's unsafe to drive , I understand that this is a problem that effects more than just mine and I hope it's recalled or something is done about it, thank you for looking into it

Rear subframe broke Confirmed by a mechanic

I’ve changed the timing belt, brakes, batteries, fuel injectors and all and still after thirty minutes of me driving Nissan Murano 2004 I have to continuously push on the gas to get the car to move . My car always has a smell of burning rubber after a long period of time driving it . I then pull over for 20/25 minutes to let the car reset or cool down I guess and then when I turn it on it drives ok until the next 25/30 minutes go by. I’ve gotten two alternators brand new and I’m still having the same issues . When I slow down to come to a full stop it feels like my car is jerking on a chain slowly. When I put the car in neutral to come to a stop it doesn’t make the car tremble . I hope and pray I can get some answers or help to guide me in the right direction . I’ve spent over $2000 in labor to this car to still have the same problem.

My alternator has failed and I see where there was a recall on 2004 nissan murano for alternator/generator but its not showing a recall when I put my Vin in but it's doing exactly what it describes.

Alternator went out this is the third one. I looked up the recalls on my car and there happened to be one on the alternator and I’ve reached out to Nissan dealership of Bakersfield and havnt received a response

REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY CAR DRIVES SHORT DISTANCE AND JUST STOPS ACCELERATING AND THAN WON'T START BACK UP UNLESS JUMPED. WILL NOT DRIVE A MILE WITHOUT GOING LIMP AND NO ACCELERATION

MY WIFE WAS LEAVING THE HOUSE I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN SHE LEFT . I NOTICED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS TOE OUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME . WHEN SHE RETURNED IT WAS TOE OUT ON RIGHT SIDE AND TOE IN ON LEFT SIDE. PULLED RIGHT REAR TIRE OFF UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION FOUND THE SUB FRAME TO BE ROTTED THRU AT THE LATTERAL ARMS. I HAD TO CLEAN AREA AS BEST AS POSSIBLE TO WELD A SMALL STEEL PLATE TO IT SO MY WIFE COULD STILL GO TO WORK ,GOOD THING WE A FEW MILES AWAY SO SHE DROVE ON CITY STREETS TO STAY OFF HIGHWAY DUE TO SPEEDS.NOW THE CAR SITS IN THE BACK YARD,REMOVED PLATES CAR IS USELESS FOR SCRAP AND TO MUCH TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.WAITING TO SEE IF NISSAN IS GOING TO MAKE RIGHT WITH THIS ISSUE, TO ISSUE A RECALL. THAT WAY AFTER THE RECALL I CAN RE-REGISTER THE VEHICLE.

CONSTANTLY STALLS WHILE BEING DRIVEN. HAS TO BE RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES

MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS, FOR 3 TIMES NOW MY DOORS HAVE LOCKED WHILE RUNNING AND THE DOORS WERE CLOSED. MY CAR LOCKED MY GRANDSON, WHICH IS 6 YEARS OLD IN, AND THE LAST TIME WAS YESTERDAY ON 10/09/2019. MY HUSBAND HAD TO BREAK THE WINDOW TO GET IN THE CAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. MY DOORS AREN'T SUPPOSE TO BE LOCKING THEMSELVES. I NEED ANSWERS FOR THIS SITUATION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TACHOMETER INCREASED, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, AND THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED UNCONTROLLABLY. SUTHERLIN NISSAN CHEROKEE COUNTY (LOCATED AT 101 HARBOR CREEK PKWY, HOLLY SPRINGS, GA 30115, (678)730-9900) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 197,000.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW WEEKS AGO SAYING CYLINDER FIVE IS MISS FIRING. I REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT I COULD AND CYLINDERS ARE STILL MISFIRING. IT'S CAUSING MY CAR TO JERK AND WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP AND START TO GO IT TAKES MY CAR A MINUTE OR SO TO START GOING. AND ALSO WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO SPORTS MODE IT DOES NOT SHIFT

THE REAR CRADLE IS RUSTING THAT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE TO REPLACE. THIS NISSAN MURANO HAS LESS THAN 140,000 MILES AND THE REST OF IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

I WAS TURNING ON A HIGHWAY LOOP AND I'M SHORT SO I HAD THE SEAT ALL THE WAY UP TO BE ABLE TO SEE. WHEN I STARTED TURNING THERE WAS A BUNCH OF CARS BEHIND ME AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND I HIT MY HEAD ON THE WINDOW BECAUSE THE BACK RIGHT OF IT GAVE OUT. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT MY SELF TOGETHER. THIS HAPPENED TO ANOTHER COWORKER WITH ANOTHER NISSAN MURANO BUT SHE HAD LESS PROBLEMS SINCE SHE'S A TALL WOMAN AND WHEN THE SEAT BROKE IT DIDN'T GO ALL THE WAY DOWN. LOOKING AT THE SEAT THE BACK RIGHT OF IT HAS A BIG METAL BAR PIECE THAT SNAPPED. IT NO LONGER GOES ALL THE WAY UP MAKING IT A HAZARD TO DRIVE WITHOUT GETTING IT FIXED. * DSY

MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO JERKS TO THE LEFT SIDE AS YOU GIVE IT GAS AND DRIVING. IT JUST JERKS ON IT'S OWN AND HEADS IN THE DIRECTION OF ANYTHING OR OBJECT THAT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT AND TOLD THAT WAS ALL IT WAS AND BY REPLACING IT THAT IT WOULD STOP DOING THE JERKING. I CHANGED THE MOTOR MOUNT, WHICH NEEDED REPLACED ANYWAY, BUT IT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN PUT YOU INTO ANOTHER CAR, DITCH, TREE, ETC.. I'VE SENT THIS PROBLEM IN BEFORE AND I'VE HAD NO RESPONSE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!! I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR ALOT OF THE TIME AND IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO EVEN PUT THEIR LIVES, MY LIFE, AND OTHER CARS IN THE WAY OF THIS HAZARD. I COULD KILL MULTIPLE INNOCENT PEOPLE BY DRIVING MY CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I'VE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE'S NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PREVIOUS CAUSE. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME ON ANY ROAD. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION FOR ME? IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR

THE CAR WILL STUTTER AT RANDOM EVEN IF FILLED WITH A FULL TANK. SMELL OF BURNING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. CAR STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THIS IS HORRIBLE AS I DRIVE WITH MY TODDLER. I HAVE BEEN NOW READING THIS IS COMMON AND I'M LUCKY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCENT BY MY CAR STALLING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V169000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) BY NISSAN OF DEARBORN (24501 MICHIGAN AVE, DEARBORN, MI 48124, (313) 749-3200); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ONE DAY LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. *DT

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF I WAS GOING STRAIGHT. THE CAR WILL NOT START, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON WHEN KEY IS TURN, CONSTANT FLASHING RED WITH A CAR SYMBOL WITH KEY IN THE MIDDLE.. CAR WILL NOT MAKE A SOUND.

STALLS: THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR STALLS AND THE PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY,(NOT SURE IF THE REPAIRS WAS REALLY DONE). THE STALLS ARE BECOMING WORSE!!!! PROBLEM: WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES AND IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, (AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, IN CITY OR ANYWHERE) THE VEHICLE SPORADICLY STALL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. IF THE ROAD HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE THE STALL IS MORE EMINENT, SO THAT THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE ONLY TWO THINGS THAT REMEDY THE SITUATION IS: A) PLACE THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE [VERY DANGEROUS->CITY DRIVING], B) TURN THE ENGINE OFF THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE [ALSO VERY DANGEROUS]. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2007 BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE BATTERY AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGH WAY. NO LIGHTS WERE ON. GAS STATION SAID CODE P0868 SHOWED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. NISSAN KNOWING SOLD ME THIS CAR IN 2014 FOR OVER 10,000. PNLY FOUR YEARS AGO THEY HAVE PROBLEM ON THIS CAT CVT BUT DID NOT INFORM ME. AT ALL. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHT, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED LIKE IT HAD NO POWER STEERING. PULLED OVER, PARKED, TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED A MINUTE. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WERE OFF AGAIN. DROVE FOR A MILE TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT DID NOT. WHAT THE HELL, @NISSAN? I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THAT'S NOT SAFE FOR A CAR TO JUST TURN OFF LIKE THAT.

AUGUST 18, 2018 BOUT 9:50 PM, AFTER PASSING THREW NEW ALBANY ON MY WAY BACK TO MEMPHIS AFTER LEAVING STARKVILLE, MS. WHEN IT FELT LIKE MY NISSAN MURANO WAS LOSING POWER ON HIGHWAY 78 WITH ONE VEHICLE IN LEFT LANE BOUT CAR LENGTH BEHIND AND ANOTHER BOUT THREE CAR LENGTH BEHIND ME IN THE RIGHT LANE. I PULLED OFF ON RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD BOUT 100 YARDS FROM EXIT TO GLENFIELD AND OXFORD, MS. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY MOVE ABOUT 5 OR 7 MILES HOUR ALLOWING ME TO MAKE IT TO GLENFIELD/ OXFORD TURNOFF THEN JUST STOPPED WOULD NOT MOVE ANY FARTHER. CUTTING ON THE HAZARDOUS BLINKERS WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY POWER. A LADY STOPPED AND GAVE ME A BUS OFF BUT BATTERY DIED SHORTLY AFTER SHE LEFT. BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF NEW ALBANY I COULD ONLY TEXT ALLOWING ME TO TEXT MY SON WHO WAS ON HIS WAY FROM STARKVILLE AFTER HE GOT OFF WORK AT 10:30 PM. WHEN MY SON ARRIVED WE CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES GIVING THE MURANO ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE MILE OR MILE AND A HALF BACK TO NEW ALBANY WHERE LOST ALL POWER AGAIN. WALMART WAS CLOSE BY WHERE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY ALLOWING ME TO MAKE 60 OR LESS MILES BACK TO MEMPHIS. THE BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ON I CUT OFF ALL UNNECESSARY POWER. MONDAY MORNING I PLAN TO TAKE TO NISSAN DEALER AFTER LEARNING OFF RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

SAME PROBLEM OF A RECALL CAMPAIGN OF A THROTTLE VALVE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS; ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND WITH AN ACCELERATOR IN STOP & GO CONDITIONS. IT WAS/IS RESOLVED BY TURNING OFF IG AND RE-START.

CAR STALLED WHILE RUNNING ON CITY STREET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND, ON OCCASION, THE ENGINE COULD NOT BE STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO STALLS WHEN DRIVING AND SITTING STILL. WHEN DRIVING MY CAR RESPONDS AS IF IT IS NOT RECOGNIZING ME PUSHING THE GAS AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT JUMPS TO GET GOING. LIKES ITS CATCHING UP TO THE SPEED AMOUNT I PRESSED WHEN PUSHING THE GAS. WHEN I AM SITTING STILL MY CAR DOES NOT MOVE IN IT STALLS IN ANY DIRECTION (MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD) FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN JERKS WHEN ITS READY. THIS MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, TURNING OR STATIONARY. WHENEVER THE CAR IS STARTED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 09V169000 THIS REPORT EXPLAINS MY ISSUES WITH MY CAR EXACTLY.

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME, ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH. WHEN IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHEN I WAS STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO WORK AGAIN PROPERLY. MY HOME WAS 20 MIN OR SO FROM WHERE I STARTED DRIVING. DURING THIS TIME THE SAME THING KEPT HAPPENING OF THE SPEED SLOWING DOWN AND NOT GOING UP EVEN WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR A GOOD 4-5TIMES. UNTIL SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A SAFE PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. A MECNIC CAME TO SEE IT AND TOLD ME IT'S A BAD ALTERNATOR. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SAW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY NISSAN MURANO OWNERS! IT'S SO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT JUST STARTS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. I GOT LUCKY LIKE I MENTIONED AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE A SAFE STOP. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF I DIDN'T. I WAS PREGNANT AND HAD BOTH OF MY TODDLERS IN THE CAR!! I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF IT'S BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR WAS INSTALLED DEFECTIVE TO BEGIN WITH. I CALLED NISSAN AND THE LADY I SPOKE TO WAS NO HELP AT ALL SHE SAID BECAUSE MY CAR IS SO OLD THERE'S NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT!? SERIOUSLY! I HAVE HAD OTHER CARS SAME AS OLD OR A FEW YEARS NEWER AND THAT NEVER PLAYED A IMPORTANT ROLE ON HAVING THE RECALL HONORED BECAUSE IT'S SOMEHING THAT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART ETC.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR TRYING TO ACCLERATE THE REVS TO 3000 RPM AND NOT GAIN ANY SPEED, YOU HAVE PUSH AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO MAINTAIN ANY KIND OF FORWARD MOMENTUM THE CAR CAN MUSTER. I DONT KNOW WHY THE CAR WILL NOT GAIN ANY SPEED. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE ON A BUSY ROADWAY.I HAVE READ MANY OTHER POST ABOUT SIMILIAR ISSUE LIKE MINE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CVT ARE VERY UNRELIABLE AND NISSAN SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING FOR US CAR OWNERS, THE CAR ONLY HAS 91000 MILES ON IT AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE OCURRING IN SO MANY VEHICLES. THEIR SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO HELP THE OWNERS OUT. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE CVT TRANSMISSION ARE VERY FAULTY AND WILL NOT HOLD UP....

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING

ON MARCH 29, 2018 I SAT DOWN IN MY CAR AND FELT THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVE DOWNWARD FOR THE FIRST TIME. WHEN I GOT HOME I EXITED THE CAR AND GOT BACK IN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING BEING BROKEN OR OUT OF PLACE PRIOR TO THE 29TH OF MARCH. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, NOR HAS ANY ONE DRIVEN MY CAR BESIDES MYSELF. AS OF TODAY (APRIL 2, 2018) I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A MECHANIC FOR AN ESTIMATE AND WILL CHECK WITH ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP ON APRIL 3, 2018.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BATTERY AND THE ABS INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND REPLACED THE PART THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

I CONTACTED NISSAN ON 12/20/17 AFTER I DROVE MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO (PURCHASED 8/18) AND I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AS MY SON AND I WERE ON A COLLEGE TOUR. I DROVE THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND WHEN I SHOWED HIM THE PROBLEM, HE WONDERED HOW I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN THE BACK WHEELS WERE "TOED" INWARD. HE PUT IT ON THE LIFT AND TOLD ME THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS DISINTEGRATED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 124,000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY HAD ME TAKE THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT. IT WAS AS MY MECHANIC HAD SAID, THE REAR SUB FRAME WAS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED BY RUST, UN-DRIVABLE. THE FRONT SUB FRAME IS TOTALLY FINE, NO RUST. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND FROM ONE WEBSITE I HAVE FOUND APPROXIMATELY 10 OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEIR CARS; SOME THE SAME YEAR AND SAME MILEAGE. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A STRANGE COINCIDENCE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG BEYOND "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM AND THE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT IS HAPPENING. IF THE SUB FRAME WOULD HAVE COLLAPSED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY SON, MYSELF AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHO ELSE ON THE ROAD THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED BY CAR PARTS FLYING ALL OVER THE ROAD. I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR BUT THE MECHANIC KNOWS AND IT HAS TAKEN HIM A MONTH TO FIX MY CAR (STILL DON'T HAVE IT BACK) AND A 3500.00 PRICE TAG ON THE REPAIRS.
