FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR NO CARS INFRONT OF ME AND NONE BEHIND ME, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING WENT ON FLASHING RED ON MY DASH AND MY CAR WAS AUTOMATICALLY BRAKING FOR NO REASON. YES, ITS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION, MY SAFETY WAS PUT AT RISK IF THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR BEHIND, THEY COULD HAVE WRECKED INTO ME. I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WERE NO OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ON PRIOR TO THE FAILURE.

I purchased a 2023 Nissan Murano from Sunset Kia in Auburn, Washington. The vehicle was listed online with 37,334 miles and this was the mileage discussed throughout the sales process. However, after finalizing the paperwork and taking possession of the vehicle, I noticed that the actual mileage on the odometer was over 42,500 miles—more than 5,000 miles higher than advertised. I contacted the dealership immediately. They told me the discrepancy was due to a sales manager driving the vehicle during the time it was listed and that they "forgot to update" the mileage in the online listing. This explanation raises concern for me, as I believe I was misled during the transaction. If the odometer disclosure form and the listing did not reflect the true mileage, this may constitute odometer fraud or at least a violation of federal and state disclosure laws. I am requesting that this situation be investigated. I have documentation including screenshots of the original listing and text message communication with the dealership confirming the listed mileage.

On [XXX] I was driving back down [XXX] , stopped at red light and when light changed to green, I proceeded to take off and as I got under the interstate overpass my vehicle abruptly started slowing down as if it was going to shut completely down and the panel in the dash turned red with a symbol of a car. There was a vehicle coming directly behind me and I am thankful they were not following me closely because it may have caused them to hit me from behind. A few seconds later the vehicle picked up speed and the red warning light disappeared quickly. 11/11/24 I made a call to Nissan Consumer Affairs to create a case (case#[XXX]) and representative opened and closed the case without escalating to a specialist for review. On 11/13/24 I took the Vehicle into a Nissan Dealership to perform a diagnostic on the vehicle and no code was found. I was told to bring the vehicle back in for a full day to troubleshoot. With all of the safety features this vehicle has, I thought issues like this would be recorded. I asked the service advisor if anyone else has reported this issue and he stated not on the 23 Murano but have received reports of other Nissan vehicles just shutting down. This could have been a very bad situation and Nissan Consumer Affairs did not seem to care when this issue was brought to their attention. Also have reported issue with brake pedal squeaking and wheel slipping when making short turn on driver's side. Issues are never found by the dealership in most cases, until the warranty runs out which is very short (3yrs 36,000). I attempted to upload document to support my trip to dealership, but received message that file is too large.

SERVICE BRAKES

noticed a small oil puddle near the front passenger side of the car in the garage before leaving for work on 2/24/24 at approximately 530am. Checked all reservoirs and found nothing outstanding and left for work. At approximately 540am I was driving to work and noticed 2 deer avoided one and hit the second one while still attempting to stop. I slammed my brakes, had no abs kick on, and the pedal went to the floor and I still narrowly clipped the second deer. I was attempting to brake for at least 20ft before the collision happened with the deer and slowed down from 80 to 65mph. I found it very odd that my brake pedal went to the floor and did not set off the ABS system and that the car took longer than it should have to come to a complete stop. After collision repair was done, thankfully just cosmetic damage, the dealership found both front brake calipers leaking the passenger one leaking significantly more than the drivers side. Due to the oil being found before that trip that day it has been ruled they were leaking before the incident occurred and this could have resulted in my car not being able to stop fully and properly and hitting the deer.
