Default All Murci Owners Read

About 6 months ago, on one of the Lambo web sites (don't remember which) there was a thread about a guy with a Murci in Europe who was doing about 180 and suddenly lost control of the car and totaled the car.

He initiated legal action against Lambo for design flaw and Lambo's position was driver error. He hired an investigator who went back to the crash site and the investigator found the right front rotor..it had a large crack that split the rotor.

He posted pictures the investigator took of the crash site, including the cracked rotor laying in the woods.

Yesterday, I was at my mechanics shop and a freind of mine with a Murci was having his car worked on and discovered his right front rotor was cracked.

I told him about the above incident...he called Lambo who put him in touch with the regional rep. The rep said just send him a pix of the cracked rotor and the will replace it for free. The entire event took less than 30 minutes to resolve - his car is out of warranty - so might be a recall or Lambo is aware of it and is more than willing to replace them.

Bottom line - when washing or working on your car - keep an eye on your front rotors, especially the right side.

I too had a cracked rear rotor on my Murci. I think the stock brakes are somewhat lacking in power for the car. Lambo should make the ceramic brakes standard on the car. I think when you pay almost $350K for a car, they can throw a decent set of brakes into the deal...!

UPDATE - Someone from Lambo is watching this tread and they are not happy. They seem to be changing their story now.

Andrew thanks for chiming in.

Who else has had a cracked rotor?

I welcome the person from Lambo who is watching to chime on.

What year model was the Murci? Just wondering if it is an early (2003) model with the smaller brakes...
