Went out for dinner and noticed nothing unusual. On the way home, "check engine" light came on and engine began to run rough. Then, 200 yards from home, "check engine" light began flashing and engine roughness increased to shaking. Codes read: "knock" and "cylinder 4 misfire". If this had happened in heavy traffic or on one of the bridges that we frequently use, my wife and I both would probably be severely injured, if not dead! the onset was rapid! guess I was not lucky enough to escape this much-stonewalled Nissan manufacturing defect that I have learned about only from the multitude of online information. Until it happened to me, it would not have occurred to check into it, with no communication from Nissan. Maintenance and all fluids are up-to-snuff.
This morning the car was warming up in front of our house ; it exploded and burned down; the front is completely melted; we were lucky not to have entered the car yet - fire department was called and managed to extinguish the fire before it reached the tank - other wise we would all be dead and our house gone.
Our Nissan Altima gle 2000 caught on fire - engine exploded and the full front of the car is melted. Fire department managed to put out the huge fire before it reached the gas tank otherwise our house would not exist anymore. And we would all be dead. At the time of the explosion we had not entered the car that was warming up in front of our house. Insurance company is investigating. I can send you pictures.
I was driving home from work. Got. Rearended I hit the car in front of me. I was stopped at a light. The airbag did not deploy. I suffered a head injury. Broken spine. Car was destroyed only thing left was were I was sitting. And the passenger seat. Now Nissan murano 2005 has faulty airbag too. Light on and flashing. Vehicle. Rendered unsafe to operate vehicle. Nissan has ongoing problems with their airbags and wont help consumers fix the problems.
Engine warning light came on and stayed on. The dealership replaced engine, problem reocurred.
