What owners wrote

A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.

Deployed under dash airbag broke right knee tibia bone. Vehicle was stationary preparing to turn left on the intersection when the vehicle going in opposite direction collided with with stationary murano. No damages due to an accident but improper design of the under dash airbag with projection for up to 6 month recovery. In us vehicles legs are position differently since pedals on the different levels and right LED is almost stretched hence airbag shall accommodate for it.
