My wife was victim to a hit and run driver on 30 Dec 22. Our 2022 Nissan Murano's AUTOMATIC COLLISION NOTIFICATION SYSTEM FAILED TO ACTIVATE UPON COLLISION. There were no warnings in the car prior.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH in the rain with all windows rolled up, there was leakage that occurred. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated four days later she noticed the driver and passenger's side rear floorboard were soaked. The contact vacuumed up the water and drove the vehicle into her garage. There was more rain a few days afterward and the failure occurred again, while parked outside the garage. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer which diagnosed no failure.
