2005 NISSAN MURANO Electrical System Problems

Not sure when it started bc I just purchased this vehicle a month ago. While driving one evening the head lights went off and I had to turn them off and back on. Now a few weeks later and after I've changed the bulbs and made sure the fuse wasn't blown it is doing it ALOT. I'm not sure if it is a wiring problem or if it is in the on and off switch.

While driving the vehicle will suddenly stop moving, loses acceleration ability & all the dashboard lights turn on. I had work done back in Feb 22 replacing cam shaft sensors. Now Dec 22 the same thing began happening again.

I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN I LOST POWER AND IT WILL CHARGE THE BATTERY TO BATTERY TIP ACTING LIKE HE WAS DEAD AND I PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN AND IT STILL DID THE SAME THING AND IT WASN'T GIVING THE BATTERY ANY CHARGE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRY MY CAR I GOT IT STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS WAS IN M MOTION

BACK IN APRIL MY MURANO WOULD TURN OFF WHETHER I WAS ACCELERATING OR JUST SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND VEHICLE WOULDNT START BACK UP, ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES TO MECHANIC WHO COULDNT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE IT WASNT SHOWING ANY CODES SO FROM THERE HAD IT TOWED TO NEWTON NISSAN WHERE IT TOOK THEM 10 DAYS TO DIAGNOSE IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR (REPLACED BATTERY FIRST BUT THAT DIDNT WORK)ENDED UP GETTING THE NISSAN ALTERNATOR VERSUS AFTERMARKET FOR THE WARRANTY, GET IT BACK EVERYTHING IS FINE, NOW IN AUGUST ALTERNATOR FAILS OUT AGAIN, BACK TO NEWTON NISSAN WE GO, THE REPLACE "ALTERNATOR" AND WHEN I GET IT BACK POWER STEERING ISNT WORKING SO AFTER THE FIXED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL IT STARTED SHUTTING OFF ON ME AGAIN LIKE THE VERY FIRST TIME. MEANWHILE IVE HAD TO PAY OVER $1000 FOR THE ALTERNATOR WORK WHICH WAS RECALLED HOWEVER MY VIN DIDNT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND HOOD OF CAR ARE ALSO SO HOT YOU CANT TOUCH THEM EVEN AFTER JUST DRIVING 1 MILE IN 70 DEGREEE WEATHER HOWEVER THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ISNT RUNNING HIGH. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF UPON STARTING. I TRIED CYCLING THE ENGINE NURMEROUS TIMES BUT THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. NISSAN SAID THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE WHOLE UNIT FOR $5000 BECAUSE THEY CANT PIN POINT AIRBAG ISSUE. AIRBAG ISSUE ISNT FIXED AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME IF I HAVE A WORKING AIR BAG OR NOT. IM NOT SURE IF I NEED TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE IM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHILE IN THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY ABS LIGHT COMES ON THEN VEHICLE STALLS AND ROLLS AT ABOUT 2 MPH AND THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. USUALLY THE ABS LIGHT TURNS OFF THEN I CAN DRIVE NORMALLY. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CAR TURNED OFF I HAD TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE STREET AND IT WOULDN'T START UP FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THEN IT STALLS WITH NO RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKES AND CHECKING ALL THE SENSORS, CHECKING THE BATTERY AND ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS AND FLUIDS.

TAKARA RECALL : WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE CAR IS PULLED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE, ALMOST CAUSING SERIOUS CRASHES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE 2005 MURANO SLOWED DOWN, I PRESSED MORE FIRMLY ON THE GAS AND IT DID NOTHING. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I TRIED RESTARTING THE MURANO SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO LUCK. I HAD TO CALL FOR A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK WHICH TOOK 5 PLUS HOURS OF ME SITTING IN THE FREEZING COLD WITH NO POWER IN MY CAR IN THE DEAD OF WINTER. VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I WENT TO PEP BOYS AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND HAD PEP BOYS INSTALL IT FOR ME. THE NEXT NIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING MY FIANCE TO HIS HOUSE THE 2005 MURANO AGAIN LOST MOMENTUM AND WITHIN SECONDS SHUT DOWN. AND AGAIN I COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON. I HAD TO CALL FOR ANOTHER FLAT BED TOW TRUCK AND WAIT LUCKILY ONLY 3 HOURS THIS TIME FOR THEM TO SHOW UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN THE VEHICLE AND ANOTHER NEW BATTERY. THAT WAS IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, IT IS NOW FEBUARY 2019 AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE. WHY IS THIS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THAT THERE WAS FOR THE 2005 NISSAN MURANO? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE COST WHEN THEY HAD TO RECALL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THIS CAR FOR THIS ISSUE AND YET MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED?????

THIS COMPLAINT RELATES TO A CLOSED RECALL FOR THE 2005 NISSAN MURANO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V3190. TWO MONTHS WITH THE VEHICLE AND I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WHERE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DRIVE-ABILITY, BRINGING MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF TO A HARMS WAY. I CONTRACTED AAMCO TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, ONE MONTH LATER, NISSAN USA HAD TO PROVIDE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION TO REPLACE THE ONE CHANGED ONE MONTH BEFORE. LAST MONDAY, JULY 06, 2015, WHILE DRIVING ON THE NEW JERSEY GARDEN STATE PARKWAY, THE VEHICLE PRESENTED SERIOUS TROUBLE, WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AWD AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AS THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED, TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED, PUTTING MY WIFE, MYSELF AND OTHER VEHICLES AROUND US IN SERIOUS RISK OF ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND LATER TO A NEAR BY FRIEND`S HOUSE IN THE GALLOWAY AREA. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN USA REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT AAMCO, SINCE THEY INSTALLED THE NEW TRANSMISSION. AAMCO CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT, THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE ALTERNATOR THAT HEATED UP, DROPPED VOLTAGE TO 12V DC AND CAUSED THE SAFE MODE TO ENGAGE, BY MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN USA CLAIMS THAT THIS NHTSA CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN CLOSED, WHEN IT IS TO MY BELIEVE THAT, IT SHOULD BE RE-OPENED AND NOT ONLY ME, BUT ALSO MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS, THAT STILL CONFRONT SUCH FACTORY DEFECTIVE ISSUES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO ACT FAST ENOUGH AND BRING MY VEHICLE TO SAFES WAY, WOULD ALL OTHERS BE SO LUCKY?

I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AN AIRBAG LIGHT APPEAR ON MY DASH. WHILE DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULDN'T TEE POND TO THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES IT KICKED BACK IN SO I TOOK IT TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC FROM A NISSAN DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER THERE WERE A LOT OF CODES THAT POPPED UP BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WEREN'T HAPPENING ANYMORE. I ASKED OF THEY CHECKED ALL OF THE WIRES THEY TOLD ME YES. SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE AND LATER THAT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM LUNCH BREAK THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE MURANO SLOWED DOWN AS BEFORE ONLY THIS TIME IT CUT COMPLETELY OFF. IT ONLY HELD A JUMP FOR ABOUT 5 BLOCKS BEFORE IT CUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T CHECK ANYTHING UNLESS I PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND THEY PUT IT IN AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN IT JUST NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS READING FINE BUT IN MY OPINION THAT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS FEEDING OFF THE JUICE OF A NEW BATTERY. ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN WITH A NEW BATTERY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR SLOWED DOWN THIS TIME THE METERS WENT CRAZY THEN IT CUT OFF. ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED WITH MY CAR CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT AND THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER A RECALL. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AFTER A WEEK OF WAITING AND UNRETURNED CALLS I FINALLY TALKED TO A REGIONAL MANAGER FROM TENNESSEE BY THE NAME OF [XXX] ONLY BECAUSE I GOT TRANSFERRED TO HIM AND ALL HE TOLD ME WAS NISSAN WILL NOT HELP YOU OUT FINANCIALLY. HE DIDN'T DISCUSS THE ISSUE OR OFFER SOLUTIONS AND SHOWED NO CONCERN FOR SAFETY ONLY MONEY EVEN THOUGH I NEVER ASKED FOR IT.

BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE LOCKS TO THE POINT THE REAR HATCH LOCKS AND WON'T UNLOCK, NOT ALL DOORS LOCK OR UNLOCK ANYMORE. TOOK TO OUR MECHANIC AND WHEN HE REPLACED THE SWITCH IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAID THIS IS AN ISSUE FROM NISSAN DIRECTLY WITH THE ACTUATORS. *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAS HAD THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL REPEATEDLY SINCE WE'VE OWNED THE CAR. WHEN THE LOCKS FAIL, THE DOORS AND REAR HATCH CAN NOT BE OPENED OR LOCKED WITH EITHER THE REMOTE FOB OR THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS ON THE DOORS. THEY NEED TO BE OPENED MANUALLY BY RELEASING THE LOCKING LEVER BY HAND. OFTEN WHEN THEY FAIL THE REAR HATCH CAN NOT BE OPENED BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A MANUAL RELEASE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS STYLE OF DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS DEEMED THE REPAIR OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND EVER SINCE. THE INDIVIDUAL ACTUATOR FOR EACH DOOR APPROACHES $500 IN COST. THEY'VE ADVISED TO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BUY A NEW VEHICLE WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF INTERNET COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. GENERAL MOTORS IGNORED THEIR PROBLEMS FOR YEARS AND NISSAN IS EFFECTIVELY IGNORING THIS PROBLEM. THE DESIGN OF THE LOCK ACTUATOR ITSELF IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A BETTER DESIGNED COMPONENT. *TR

I CHECKED THE RECALLS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS CAR AND THERE WAS RECALLS BACK IN 2005 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE A NOTICES IN THE MAIL. I'VE CALLED THE NISSAN HOTLINE WITH NO REPLIES AND EMAILED THE COMPANY TOO; I WAS EMAILED BACK THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SECOND ROW SEAT BELTS. THIS CAR IS TOTALLY UNSAFE; PLUS VEHICLE HAS FIVE RECALLS SUCH AS GAS TANK, SET BELT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, TRANSMISSION, AND ALTERNATOR. I LOOKED AT THE FORUM FOR THE NISSAN MURANO IN IT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2003-2005 MODELS. *TR

ORIGINAL OWNER OF MURANO, PURCHASED NEW IN 2005. THE DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO LOCK AND UN-LOCK. THIS HAS OCCURED AT VAIROUS TIMES WHEN USING ANY MEANS AVAILABLE TO LOCK AND UN-LOCK THE DOORS: THE KEY FOB, INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS BUTTON ON DOOR, AND MANUAL MANIPILATION OF THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCK(S). THE ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED WITH ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS AND OCCASSIONALLY THE REAR HATCH (NOT OPENED AS OFTEN, SO IT MAY OCCURE MORE FREQUENTLY, JUST NOT AWARE OF IT). THE CONDITION WORSENS IN THE WARM WEATHER (LIVE IN FL). HAVE AT TIMES BEEN UNABLE TO GET IN OR OUT OF MY VEHICLE UNTIL ALL OF THE ABOVE MEANS TRIED REPEATEDLY UNTIL ONE WORKS. HAVE FOUND THAT I CAN ONLY GET IN MY CAR DURING WARM WEATHER IF I USE THE FOB TO ROLL THE FRONT WINDOWS DOWN AND THEN REACH IN THE VEHICLE AND MANUALLY UNLOCK THE CAR DOOR. *TR

THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR FAILED.. MORE SPECIFICALLY, WHEN THE LOCK SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED ELECTRONICALLY, THE DOORS TYPICALLY FAIL TO COMPLETELY LOCK OR UNLOCK COMPLETELY. VISUALLY, THE INSIDE LOCK 'BUTTON' ONLY MOVES PARTWAY. THERE IS REASON TO BELIEVE THIS AFFECTS MANY OWNERS OF NISSAN AND INFINITY VEHICLES. SOME SUSPECT ACTUATOR PROBLEMS AND OTHERS SUSPECT RELAY PROBLEMS. THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND THERE'S PETITIONS. THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T WANT TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY AND THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF OWNERS. THIS PROBLEM HAS SAFETY IMPLICATION AND CAN CREATE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS. I ADVICE THAT THIS PROBLEM BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND MAKE THE MANUFACTURERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DEFECTS. THANK YOU *TR

IN MID JAN, 2013 I NOTICED THAT AFTER LOCKING WITH THE KEY FOB, THE FRONT DOOR REMAINED UNLOCKED, AND WOULD NOT LOCK FROM INSIDE THE CAR WITH EITHER THE INDIVIDUAL LOCK CONTROL OR THE WHOLE CAR LOCK CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE DOOR IS WITH YOUR KEY, FROM THE OUTSIDE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ADDED SAFETY OF A LOCKED DRIVERS DOOR. ALL OTHER DOORS ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY AT THIS TIME. THE WEB SEEMS TO BE FILLED WITH OTHER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND I WONDER IF THEY REALIZE THE DANGER THEY FACE WHEN ALL DOORS ARE NOT LOCKED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ALL OF MY LOCKS NO LONGER WORK. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE ABOUT IT. I THOUGHT NISSAN WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN IF THEY CONTINUE NOT TO ASSIST THEIR CUSTOMERS. I ALSO HAVE THE AIR INTAKE ISSUE, THANKFULLY THAT WAS RECALLED AND WILL BE FIXED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT STRUTS, OIL COOLER GASKET, FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS AND THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED 3 TIMES NOW. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN AND SO EMBARRASSED TO EVEN TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. :( *TR

PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE. REAR HATCH DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK AND WILL NOT OPEN. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN MURANO LOCK ACTUATORS POSING PROBLEMS AND NOT WORKING. NISSAN DEALERSHIPS CHARGE APPROXIMATELY $500 TO FIX EACH ACTUATOR, WHICH SEEMS EXTREMELY UNFAIR CONSIDERING IT APPEARS TO BE SUCH A COMMON DEFECT. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN UNNECESSARY AND PREVENTABLE PROBLEM, BUT CAN BE AN EXTREMELY SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

Mileage: 80,400

THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS WILL SPORADICALLY LOCK OR UNLOCK AND I AM AFRAID MY CHILD MAY GET LOCKED IN THE CAR ONE DAY IF KEYS ARE LEFT IN PASSENGER SEAT WHEN WALKING AROUND VEHICLE TO GET CHILD. THIS POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO CHILDREN OR ANYONE IN AN UNSURE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO SL WITH ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT HAS THE SEAT DEFECT WHERE IT IS STUCK AND WON'T MOVE FORWARD AND BACK. IT APPEARS THAT THE BRACKET SYSTEM ATTACHMENT TO THE FLOOR HAS BECOME BROKEN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND THE CAR TO BE UNABLE TO DRIVE. THE REPAIR FOR THIS IS QUOTED AT $1,500. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE AND FIX THEM ON THEIR OWN COST, NOT THE CONSUMER. *TR

NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. THIS FAILURE IS AN INTERMITTENT OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE DOORS LOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN ADDITION, SOMETIMES THE DOORS UNLOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. 3. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. AND THE MURANO'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT IT'S NOT EASY TO COMPREHEND IF IT'S NOT YOUR CAR, FOR INSTANCE A RENTAL CAR. I CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE CONFUSED HOW UNLOCK A DOOR USING THE MANUAL LEVEL IN AN EMERGENCY WHEN THEY VIRTUALLY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH IT. IN EMERGENCIES EVERY SECOND COUNTS. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY A HIGH RISK IN EMERGENCY SCENARIOS. SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE $1600 TO HAVE ALL THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED (AS QUOTED BY DEALERS) WILL FORGO GETTING THEM FIXED, PUTTING THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AT RISK WITH THE ABOVE MISHAP EXAMPLES. THIS SHOULDN'T BE, NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THEM. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME TILL SOMEONE GETS ROBBED, HURT OR KILLED FROM A MALFUNCTIONING DOOR LOCK, DISABLING THE SECURITY WHICH THE DRIVER "THINKS" HE HAS WHEN HE LOCKS THE CAR. IT'S A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR TO A SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 5MPH. I PARK AND AFTER THAT MY CAR HAD TO BE TOW AWAY. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR THAT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS A RECALL FOR NISSAN MURANO 2005 ALTERNATORS. *TR

I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I'D USE MY KEYLESS ENTRY THAT THE DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK SO I REPLACED MY KEYLESS ENTRY ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT WASN'T IT USING THE PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IF I UNLOCK/LOCK THE DOORS ONLY 1 DOOR ASIDE FROM THE DRIVERS WILL UNLOCK... MY TRUNK WILL UNLOCK SELECTIVELY AND WITH THIS MODEL THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO GET IN OUR OUT THE TRUNK ASIDE FROM THE TAIL GATE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED AND WHEN HIS RESPONSE IMMEDIATELY WAS "IT'S YOUR ACTUATORS, WE GET THESE ALL THE TIME WITH YOUR KIND OF CAR" IT STRUCK A NERVE WITH ME AND I DIDN'T GET IT DONE WHEN I FOUND OUT THE COST IS $400 PER DOOR THAT'S INCLUDING LABOR I THEN STARTED TO DO RESEARCH ON LINE AND I SEE FORUMS OF OVER A THOUSAND 05/06 MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT IM HAVING SOME HAVE REPLACED THEM SOME HAVE COMPLAINED THERE WAS PETITIONS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE GOD FORBID SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE THIS GETS IN AND LIKE MOST OF US LOCKS THERE DOORS BEHIND THEM ONLY TO REALIZE IT DIDN'T WITH SOMETHING AWFUL LIKE A BURGLARY OR SOMETHING... WHAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THEY CANT GET TO THE VICTIM BECAUSE THE DOORS DON'T UNLOCK THESE ARE WORST CASE SCENARIOS BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE COMMON. *TR

I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS OPENING THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND RECENTLY IT HAS BECOME A PROBLEM 99% OF THE TIME. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I DISCOVERED ONE OF MY REAR DOORS WAS UNLOCKED WHEN IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN. YESTERDAY WHEN A PASSENGER TRIED TO GET IN THE BACK DOOR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK EVEN WHEN USING THE INTERIOR BUTTON. I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE ONLY PROPERLY FUNCTIONING DOOR STOPS WORKING AND THE GAS CAP WILL NO LONGER OPEN. HOW DO YOU OPEN THE GAS CAP WITH A FAULTY LOCKING MECHANISM?? IS THERE A WAY TO OPEN IT MANUALLY?? THERE IS ALSO A QUESTION OF SAFETY IF DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED AND UNLOCKED WITH THE INTERIOR LOCK BUTTON....RISK OF CAR JACKING, THEFT. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL COULD NOT GAIN QUICK ACCESS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE OR SUBMERSION WHEN EVERY SECOND COUNTS, ESPECIALLY INVOLVING INFANTS AND SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS (OR ELDERLY) WHO CAN'T OR DON'T KNOW HOW TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. LIVES ARE AT RISK! THE COST TO REPAIR ONE DOOR IS ASTRONOMICAL LET ALONE HAVING TO REPAIR THREE OR ALL FOUR. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD NISSAN DEFECT THAT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BIG NISSAN FAN AND THIS IS THE THIRD NISSAN I HAVE OWNED. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE IF THEY DON'T STEP UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE REMINDED DAILY OF THE SAFETY ISSUES EVERY SINGLE TIME WE ENTER AND EXIT OUR CARS AND HAVE TO MANUALLY CHECK EACH DOOR TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ALL LOCKED. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD SPORADICALLY UNLOCK OR LOCK DOOR...NOW IS ALL THE TIME AND MUST BE LOCKED MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING ENTER THE VEHICLE IN AN UN SECURE ENVIRONMENT OR CAN RESULT IN STOLEN MERCHANDISE OR PARTS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ALSO WELL NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND DROPS SUDDENLY BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS COULD NOT BE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED FROM THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE REMOTE CONTROL KEY LOCK WAS ALSO INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO ALSO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE ALL OF THE WELL KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN MURANO. I GOT THE AIR BAG LIGHT THAT WON'T TURN OFF WHICH TO ME IS A MAJOR SAFETY AND VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I HEARD THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS WON'T WORK. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE OR MULTIPLE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS NONE OF DOOR ACTUATORS WORK INCLUDING THE REAR HATCH DOOR EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR THAT DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT UNLOCKS AND LOCKS WHICH I ALSO THINK IT'S ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE THE BAD POWER STEERING RACK WHICH I MENTIONED A LOT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE STEERING HAS SO MUCH PLAY THAT ITS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE I WISH NISSAN WOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADMIT THAT THESE SHOULD BE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THEIR BAD ENGINEERING WITH THESE TRUCKS. *TR

THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK/LOCK USING THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES OR BUTTONS AND IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE DOOR YOU HAVE TO OPEN ANOTHER DOOR AND REACH OVER AND MANUALLY UNLOCK. I HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS RELATED TO MY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE.

I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, FIRE, SEVERE WEATHER THAT MY FAMILY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN OR OUT (DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION) OF THE CAR IN A TIMELY MANNER CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

ON SEPTEMBER 17, MY DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY OR WITH THE ACTUAL KEY. I CALLED NISSAN OF QUEENS TO STATE AGAIN THAT SOMETHING FRAUDULENT WAS DONE TO MY CAR SINCE MY INITIAL VISIT ON SEPTEMBER 4. THEY ADVISED ME TO COME IN TO "CHECK" THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, PAST EXPERIENCE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT WILL BE TO "FIX" THE DOOR, CHARGE ME SOME RIDICULOUS AMOUNT, AND THEN CREATE ANOTHER MALFUNCTION. THIS NEW MALFUNCTION WILL HAVE ME COMING BACK THE NEXT WEEK FOR A REPEAT OF THIS FRAUDULENT SERVICE. MY CAR IS BREAKING DOWN BEFORE MY EYES AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WOULD LET THIS HAPPEN TO A LOYAL CUSTOMER. AS YOU KNOW TAMPERING WITH MY CAR DOOR CAN BE HARMFUL TO MY PERSON IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS: 1.HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2.THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE.

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS FLASHING IN THE DASH AGAIN. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONCE BEFORE WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE NORTH LITTLE ROCK DEALERSHIP. ON LEAVING THE GARAGE WITHIN JUST A MILE, I MADE A LEFT TURN AND HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT CAME BACK ON. I WENT STRAIT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BUT THE (SECOND REPLACEMENT PART) WOULDN'T BE IN TILL THE NEXT DAY SO I WAS GIVEN A LOANER FOR ONE DAY. NOW IT'S BACK ON AGAIN. ALSO NOTED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THAT THE LUMBAR SUPPORT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NO LONGER INFLATES/DEFLATES AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS FIXED AND HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT 37,000 MILES AT MY COST. ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP RESURFACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND REPLACE A REAR CALIPER UNDER WARRANTY THAT HAD LOCKED UP 1 & 1/2 YEARS AGO. I SEE THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE IN NEED OF RESURFACING AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE BREAK PADS HAVE 1/2 OF THERE WEAR LEFT TO GO. DUE TO THE HIGHLY CHROMED /CURVED DIPSTICK, GETTING AN ACCURATE OIL LEVEL READING IS NOT POSSIBLE AT ANY TIME, SO THE DIPSTICK HAS ONLY BEEN REMOVED THREE TIME SINCE PURCHASING IT AS IT IS A POINTLESS ENDEAVOR.

NISSAN'S RECALL ON THE 2005 MURANO STATES THAT THE VEHICLE FALLS INTO A "FAILSAFE" CONDITION WHICH LIMITS VEHICLE SPEED. VERY SHORTLY AFTER THIS, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING...COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. MY VEHICLE HAD DONE THAT 4 TIMES. TWO TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. YOU HAVE ABOUT A MINUTE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPS. IN THAT MINUTE, THE VEHICLE IS RAPIDLY DECELERATES TO A CRAWL. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A TOYOTA SEQUOIA. DOMINION NISSAN "FIXED" MY VEHICLE AND ASSURED ME IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. A FEW MONTH LATER, AS I NEARED MY HOME, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED PURSUANT TO THE RECALL NOTICE.

THIS WAS A SUDDEN FAILURE AND THERE HAD BEEN NOR WERE THERE ANY INDICATIONS OF ANY DEVELOPING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT WAS THE MIL AND THE PHYSICAL LOSS OF POWER. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT THE FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A T-BONE COLLISION SINCE THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING AT 50 MPH AND THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO RIGHT HAND EMERGENCY PULL-OFF AREA ON THE ROADWAY TO SAFELY PLACE THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE TRAVEL LANES.

A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN TO US AND WHEN WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN THE DEALER SEEMED IGNORANT OF THE RECALL. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN BETWEEN INCIDENTS AND COULDNT GET AN APPT RIGHT AWAY. WHEN I SHOWED HIM THE FORM, HE SAID THAT THE ALTERNATOR PROBABLY DIDNT NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT THEY'D LOOK AT IT. IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT WE HAVE TO FIGHT SO MUCH TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED.
