2020 Nissan Murano

While parallel parking, we backed into the space and when we put the car into Drive, it lurched forward at an incredible speed. We hit and pushed the car parked in front of us, hopped up onto the sidewalk, knocked down a street light, and moved a huge concrete planter. The airbags over the windshield and under the dashboard deployed. The bags under the dash exploded with such force that they injured my husband's legs, and he has been seeing a wound doctor for the past five weeks. The car was towed to a repair shop. I reported the incident to Nissan NA; they sent a representative to retrieve information from the EDR. Nissan has advised that no mechanical problems were recorded but we are absolutely certain the car malfunctioned. We think it might have been a problem with the CVT.

I HAVE A 2020 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAD 3 OCCURRENCES IN A 48 HOUR PERIOD WHERE THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP IMMEDIATELY WITH NO WARNING OR OBSTRUCTION IN THE ROAD. THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR ON A CITY STREET. MY CAR WENT FROM 30 TO 0 WITH NO WARNING. THE MOTOR DIDN'T STALL OUT, THE CAR WAS STILL IDLING BUT THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON THE ROAD. I WAS NOT BRAKING AT THE TIME. I'M THANKFUL NO VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING BEHIND ME AT THE TIME. THE NEXT 2 OCCURRENCES HAPPENED WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. AGAIN THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WAY TO OBSTRUCT THE VEHICLE FROM BACKING OUT. NO MAINTENANCE LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS SHOWED UP. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE COMPUTER DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING WAS IN NEED OF REPAIR. I TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO MAINTENANCE OR WARNING LIGHT THAT SHOWED ON ANY OF THE 3 OCCURRENCES.

I WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE CAR AUTOMATIC STOPPED AND APPLIED THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE (AEB) WAS APPLIED WITH NO OBSTACLES AROUND ON A CLEAR SUNNY DAY. PURCHASED THE CAR NEW WITH ONLY 3 MILES ON IT. CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY.TOOK THE CAR IN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR WITHIN 1 WEEK IT HAPPEND AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.
