2014 Nissan Murano SUV AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2014 Nissan Murano SUV AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"while driving along i 17 south of flagstaff, az, we heard a loud sound, like a gun shot. we pulled over to find no tire had blown, checked the rest of the car, didn't see anything. we continued to drive and started hearing rattling and shaking near the roof. we pulled over again only to find our sunroof was completely shattered. luckily, we had the retractable shade closed, so neither of us was hit with glass, but cars behind us could have been. about 2/3 of the sunroof was already gone. we finished our 90-mile drive home in 100 degrees with the top/shade open so as not to do any damage to the shade itself. driving on an interstate at 70 mph with a semi truck next to us when the explosion occurred, could have been deadly. fortunately, my husband kept control of the vehicle as we somehow got off the highway to safety."
