On june 25th I was going down a very steep hill in guttenberg nj,07093 when about three quarters down the hill my 212 nissan murano convertible's engine stopped with no warning. Thank god the light ahead was green and I was able to turn the wheel just enough to avert crashing into a fence and go over an embankment. The car rolled to a stop and I wound up in middle of traffic whose light was then green coming at me from north and south.. I wrote to the us global headquarters in california and spoke several times to nissan's regional office in tennessee. The car has been at local dealership since june 25 and they say if they can't duplicate the problem I will have to take car . But that is unacceptable because it is not safe and I cannot in good faith sell it to anyone else. Can you please help me. I am a professor at teachers college in nyc and use the car to travel to the college in the spring and fall semesters. I have special parking privilege because I cannot take public transportation due to a disability. I sincerely hope to hear from you. Thank you, sincerely, [xxx] p.s. I found 20 other people on the internet who reported their engines stopped while in motion - I send copies to all parties at nissan but they said oh they are different models (no they were not - all murano's and different years (but 2012 was included among them information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc
