What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 nissan murano. While driving 25 MPH, another vehicle crashed into the front of the contact's vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver sustained face injuries, the front passenger who was pregnant sustained stomach injures, the fetus sustained a fracture on the leg, and the rear passenger sustained head injures. All passengers required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed, but was taken to an auto body repair center for body repairs.
Fuel gauge says empty when 100 miles are on the gas tank. My local nissan dealer, elhart, told me they would have to charge me 5 hours of labor to remove the gas tank to "diagnose" the problem, even though the fuel guage sensors are accessible under the rear seat for replacement. Also,this is a very common problem with all nissans - quests do have a recall on it, but no other nissan, even though they all use the same faulty gas guage.
