Ok I have this problem with my upper oil pan. It has been discontinued. I have called around to dealerships because you cannot purchase it at a part store. I have a bad oil leak coming from it. How do I go by replacing it?

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that a power steering fluid leak was initially discovered on her vehicle and the power steering hose was replaced. The contact then stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would shut off without warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where she was informed that the power steering pump was defective and needed to be replaced. The failure persisted after the repair and the vehicle was later diagnosed by the same dealer with a defective camshaft and catalytic converter. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure.

Hello, i would like to report a problem. Didnt really see anything about transmission on the choices listed above. Well i got this car used from someone. Didnt really noticed the transmission problem until i was driving it for a while on the freeway. The transmission is just so bad . It is stuck on 3rd gear all the way. At high speeds. So imagine, the engine is whining so bad. The car basically wants to give up now. Still starts, revers, goes foward with no problem. Shifting is the problem. Also, ive checked the transmission fluid. Its still at a perfect level. Yes, it has roughly 129,000 miles on it. But really? This car should be lasting longer. Please. I really dont want to pay out of pocket for a whole new transmission. Theres got to be a way or something you guys could do to help me and my family.

ON MARCH 14TH, I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN MURANO FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. I WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BOTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THE THROTTLE BOTTLE THE MURANO FELT LIKE IT LOST ALL POWER WHEN I ACCELERATED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ON. CONTACTED THE SELLER AND HE SAID THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES OR ANYTHING. I FOLLOWED UP WITH GETTING THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED, TRANSMISSION FUEL AND FILTER CHANGED, A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND AN OIL CHANGE. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT A MONTH UP UNTIL EARLY APRIL OF 2021. THE VEHICLE NOW SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S IN LIMO MODE. NO MECHANIC WANTS TO WORK ON IT AND I FEEL COMPLETELY CHEATED AND AT A TOTAL LOSS. VADDEN NISSAN CONSTANTLY HAS AN EXCUSE NOT TO WORK ON MY VEHICLE AND AT THIS POINT, IT'S JUST VERY FRUSTRATING. I'VE SPEND THOUSAND OF DOLLARS ON THIS VEHICLE ONLY FOR ME TO STILL BE AT SQUARE ONE. I'M ALSO AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY BEING IN TRAFFIC AND HAVING TO TURN ON MY SAFETY HAZARD LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE NORMAL IF I RESTART IT BUT GOES RIGHT BACK INTO LIMP MODE.

JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER TOOK IT TO MECHANICS BECAUSE I KEPT GETTING SHOCKED BY THE SEAT THEY STATED THE ENGINE HAD BEEN ON FIRE WITH PREVIOUS OWNER AND I SHOULD CHECK FOR AND RECALL SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO ASSIST NOW THAT VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY NON FUNCTIONAL

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SMOKING ONCE I START DRIVING. I HAVE TO CONSISTENTLY ADD MOTOR OIL AND IT SMOKES MORE. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME HE RAN TWO DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND NOTHINGS COMING UP. THEN MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE ON RT 130 IN PENNSAUKEN NJ MY SUV JUST STALLED AND WOULDN'T LET ME GIVE IT GAS. THEN IT JUST JUMPED INTO GEAR. IT DID IT TWICE WHILE CARS WERE SPEEDING BY TRYING TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. MY HEART FELT LIKE IT FELL INTO MY SEAT. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON UNTIL I COULD FIND A SPOT TO PULL IN.IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. RIGHT NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TRANSPORT MY MOTHERTO HER HEART DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. HOWEVER I TOO SCARED TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY (IN MIDDLE OF NOWHERE)CAR STARTED JERKING/SHAKING/VIBRATING & CLUNKING/BANGING SOUND, FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER MILLIONS OF NAILS. CAR COULD BARELY DRIVE AT 40 MPH IN SLOW LANE W/HAZARDS UNTIL I COULD GET TO SAFETY AN HOUR AWAY. CAR CANNOT GO ABOVE 5 MPH TO GET IT HOME. RPM GOING WACKY NO POWER WHEN STEP ON GAS BUT ENGINE REVS. ENGINE LIGHT ON STEADY THEN FLASHES WHEN CAR GETS GOING AT ONLY 5 MPH (CANNOT GO FASTER) BUT I FINALLY GOT THE CAR HOME & I WAS SAFE. NOW CAR CAN'T BE DRIVEN & MUST BE TOWED TO A GARAGE. CAR HAS OIL LEAK & I REPLACED THE OIL PAN ALONG WITH FAULTY ALTERNATOR WHICH KILLED BATTERY JUST 2 MONTHS AGO. BOUGHT CAR USED 2/1/20. HAS 110,000 MILES NOW. ENGINE HOT/SMELLS HOT BUT TEMP GAUGE DOESN'T REFLECT THAT. I WAS NEARLY KILLED ON FREEWAY BY PASSING TRACTOR TRAILERS & TRAFFIC HAVING TO SPEED BY ME RECKLESSLY WHEN IT HAPPENED TO AVOID COLLISION-NO WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS & SCARY. I SEE THERE ARE NEARLY 600 OTHER CASES EXACTLY LIKE THIS!!! SINGLE MOM WITH 2 KIDS IN CAR - VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT SOUNDS BY READING COMPLAINTS THAT IT'S THE TRANSFER CASE?

Mileage: 110,000

MY MURANO HAS BEEN STALLING TO PICK UP SPEED HAVE REPLACED OVER $1500 IN PARTS. BUT STILL CANT LOCATE THE PROBLEM, AT THE MECHANIC SHOP THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE SOLENOID SENSOR BUT THEY DONT KNOW IF IT COULD BE IT.WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED AND WILL ONLY DRIVE 30 TO 40 MPH. OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IT WILL STAY AT 60MPH AND WILL NOT GO OVER. THE ENGINE LOOKS A BIT SHIFTED AS WELL I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. AND IT MAKES A REALLY UGLY LOUD SQUICK THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX BUT DON'T KNOW IF IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF ENGINE SHIFT.NO ACCIDENTS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS.

MY INTAKE HOSE KEEPS COMING OFF THE RESONATOR, LIKE COMPLETELY. MY CAR WILL LOSE POWER IMMEDIATELY WHETHER I'M DRIVING ON A HWY AT 70 MPH OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND ITS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BREAKS. I'M VERY LUCK I WAS IN THE POSITION TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HWY SAFELY. I HAVE TO TIGHTEN THE BRACKET TIGHT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME. A LOT OF TIMES I'M UNABLE TO TIGHTEN IT GOOD ENOUGH AND IT WILL COME OFF AGAIN. MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 3/2/2020 AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR AND A HALF. VERY SCARY TO GO THROUGH.

Mileage: 158,000

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT MAY RANDOMLY STALL CAUSING THE MOTOR TO SHUT DOWN WHILE THE CAR IS IN USE MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE. ALSO RANDOM OVER HEATING AND STALLING I'VE CHANGED BOTH CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ALSO THE RADIATOR AND THE THERMOSTAT NOTHING FIXES IT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT I NEED TO BE PUT ON THE LIST I WAS LEFT OUT.

MY FAMILY HAS OWNED A 2007 NISSAN MURANO FOR NEARLY 8 YEARS. IN THE LAST YEAR, MY WIFE HAS EXPERIENCED EXTREME TRAUMA AS SHE HAS HAD THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIE ON HER WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEWAYS, HIGHWAYS, AND RESIDENTIAL ROADS. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN IN AND INSPECTED BY MULTIPLE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND EACH VISIT HAS ONLY RESULTED IN THEIR RECOMMENDATION OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BEING SUGGESTED, SUCH AS TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE, BRAKE REPAIR, OR BATTERY REPLACEMENT. OUR MURANO HAS RECENTLY DECIDED TO REPEAT THESE SAME ISSUES AFTER OVER A YEAR OF NORMAL FUNCTION. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE NORMALLY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AND THE FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE STOPPED DUE TO WHAT APPEARED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AFTER ASSESSING THE ISSUE, I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE WITH JUMPER CABLES, WHICH ALLOWED THE MURANO TO START, BUT ONCE IT WAS INDEPENDENTLY IDLING, IT WOULD AGAIN LOSE POWER AFTER AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I AM HEAVILY CONCERNED FOR THE WELFARE OF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER AS THEY DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS THAT I TYPICALLY RELY ON FOR THESE CRITICAL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN NO HELP AND I AM AT A LOSS FOR WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SUCH A LONG TIME FRAME BETWEEN ISSUES. I HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND RECTIFY ANY PRIOR REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED AS A RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE THAT MAY VERY WELL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE TRUE ISSUE AT HAND. I AM IN DIRE NEED OF ANSWERS AS TO WHY A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE WOULD BE FINE ONE MINUTE AND THEN COMPLETELY INOPERABLE THE NEXT. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD MANY COMPONENTS REPLACED AND MAINTAINED TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND WITH 180K MILES HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CONTINUE FOR MANY MORE. I DON'T WANT TO POUR MONEY INTO THIS ISSUE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS, AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING DEALT WITH THIS!

TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR KEEPS STALLING!! THE WHOLE LEFT SIDE DRIVER SIDE ELECTRICAL DOESN'T WORK SIGNAL,HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS MY CAR IS SHAKING ON THE HIGHWAY

I WAS DRIVING AND RANDOMLY LOST POWER. NO POWERSTEERING, NO ACCELERATION, NO BRAKES, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH TURNED ON LIKE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, AND THE KEY WAS TURNED BACK TO ELECTRICAL (WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, I'M 100% SURE THE CAR TURNED OFF WITHOUT THE IGNITION KEY SWITCHING TO OFF). THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES NOW. THE CODE P0345 ACTIVATED SHORTLY AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN DECELERATING/BRAKING, ACCELERATING, AND COASTING, LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS WITH MURANOS ON THE INTERNET AND APPARENTLY HAPPENS TO A FEW OTHER NISSANS. THIS STARTED IN EARLY JUNE, WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE MID 80'S.

Mileage: 156,300

TAKATA RECALL MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION WANTS TO CUT OFF OR WON'T DRIVE. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WASN'T WANTING TO DRIVE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO MY RIGHT. THEN AS I ENTERED THE PARKING LOT THE CAR TURNED OFF COMPLETELY BY ITSELF AND I COULDN'T USE MY BREAKS OR STEERING WHEEL. I ENDED UP RUNNING IT INTO A CURB TO BE ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2005-2007 NISSAN. I LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT SAYS THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VECHILE BUT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A BABY AND DON'T NEED MY NISSAN SHUTTING OFF AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE I HAVE MY BABY IN THE CAR.

Mileage: 152,583

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME. I TOOK IT TO 2 MECHANICS AND THEY BOTH SAID THE MOTOR SEIZED. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE CAR WAS BURNING OIL AFTER THE FACT. THERE WAS NO SIGNS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE ON THE CAR THAT I NOTICED WAS THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING A BIT SLUGGISH . I'VE REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL PUMP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 96,600 MILES. THE MECHANIC CAN'T GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER JUST THAT THE MOTOR SEIZED .

Mileage: 96,600

MY CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE AIR INTAKE COMES LOOSE. THIS IS HAPPENING CONSTANTLY. I HAVE NARROWLY ESCAPED 2 ACCIDENTS. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION BOTH TIMES. I NOW HAVE TO MAKE SURE THIS CONNECTION IS SECURE BY STOPPING EVERY FEW MILES OF DRIVING AND EACH TIME BEFORE I START OUT FOR THE DAY.

Mileage: 130,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV VERY HIGHLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (NELSON NISSAN, 800 W. QUEENS ST, BROKEN ARROW, OK) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AT 115, 000 MILES! JUST DIED ON THE INTERSTATE. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND SUDDENLY CAR DIED, SHE BARELY COULD GET CAR ON SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. TOOK CAR TO OUR NISSAN MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS YEAR WAS KNOWN FOR BAD TRANSMISSIONS.

Mileage: 115,000

TAKATA RECALL: WE BOUGHT OUR NISSAN MURANO (2007) 16 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS BARELY 100K MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL CONSTANTLY. MY HUSBAND IS ADDING OIL TO IT EVERY OTHER DAY. PLUS THE TRANSMISSION IS RATTLING CONSTANTLY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND THE CAR HAS STALLED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE WE'VE HAD IT, ONE TIME ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE YOUNG KIDS AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT.

Mileage: 100,000

I HAD TO REPLACE MY ALTENATOR 3 TIMES. I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 YEARS AGO AT 90,000 MILES. WHEN IT FIRST WENT OUT, I BOUGHT ONE FROM AUTOZONE, THEN 4 MONTHS LATER IS WENT OUT. I HAD A WARRANTY THRU AUTOZONE ON THE PARTS SO THE PART WAS REPLACED BUT I HAD TO COVER THE LABOR COST. 2 MONTHS LATER THE ALTENATOR REPLACE IT AGAIN BUT I WANTED LABOR COST COVERERD THIS TIME. THEY AGREED TO COVER THE PART AND LABOR. THERE MUST BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. I VE READ OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF NISSAN DOESN'T FIX THIS FOR FREE, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER OF THEIR CARS BECAUSE I CAN'T BELIEVE MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANIC SO IT NOT THE PERSON, IT'S THE CAR, I BELIEVE SO. THE OTHER PROBLEM I'VE HAD IT THAT THE AIR DUCK INTAKE HOSE KEEPS DISCONNECTING, IT WILL CAUSE MY CAR TO MISS FILE AND RUN VERY RUFF, LIKE POOR PERFORMANCE. IT CAN MAKE THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP SIGN.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. MY VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO RUN PROPERLY. I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE, I THOUGHT IT WOULD STRAIGHTEN UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. WELL, MY CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. I WAS LUCKY I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP IN THE TOWN I RESIDE IN. HE DIAGNOSED IT, AND SAID NISSAN MURANOS WERE KNOWN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. HE PUT IT BACK TOGETHER, AS IT HAD SEPARATED. I DID SOME PERSONAL RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM, AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE GENERATION 1 MURANOS (2003-2007), I THEN DID A VIN # CHECK, AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN RECALLS FOR MY VIN. I ALSO SAW DURING RESEARCH, THAT THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEY MADE ME AWARE THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN MADE THEM AWARE THIS WAS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF, AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THEY THEN TRANSFERRED THE CASE TO A REGIONAL CASE SPECIALIST. THE REGIONAL SPECIALIST, AGAIN, TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THEN, EXPLAINED THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE REGIONAL SPECIALIST THEN TRANSFERRED ME TO A SUPERVISOR. THE SUPERVISOR THEN CALLED ME BACK, AND TOLD ME YET AGAIN, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. THIS IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT JUST BECAUSE, BY POLICY, THEY WON'T COVER REPAIRS THAT COULD LEAD TO THE EXTENT OF TAKING SOMEONES LIFE. I HAVE TOLD THEM EVERYTHING I INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT. PLEASE ADVISE. *JS

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO REED NISSAN TO BE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND SAID THAT A FEW THINGS NEEDED FIXING AND WHEN FIX THE LIGHT WILL BE GONE. I PAID TO FIX THE CAR AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME THE CHECK EGINE LIGHT CAME BACK. I CALLED BACK AND SPOKE TO MY SERVUCE ADVISOR WHO TOLD ME TO BRING BACK THE CAR TO BE RE DIAGNOSED. THE FINDING WAS ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT APPARENTLY DIDNT SHOW UP BECAUSE OF HOW LONG THE CAR TOOK TO BE FIX. I AGREE TO REPLACED WHAT THEY QUOTE ME THE PRICE FOR BUT INSTEAD I GOT THE OPPOSITE. THEY REPLACED WHAT THEY WANTED TO AND DISNT REPLACE EVERYTHING THEY AGREED TO REPLACE BUT I STILL HAD TONPAY ALL THE MONEY THAT WAS AGREED ON EVENTHOUGH I DIDNT GET ALL THE WORK DONE THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE DONE. TODAY MY CAR RADIATOR BLEW AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT A WEEK AFTWR I FIX MY CAR WITH THEM. THERE WAS ALSO A CRACK IN MY ENGINE COVER AND A SCREW MISSING TO KEEP IT TIGHT. MY RADIATOR COVER SCREWS WERE ALSO MISSING. I APOD MY MONEY AND DIDNT GET THE JOB THAT THEY TOLD ME I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET. WHRN I SPOKE TO THE MANAGER THEY GIVE ME ALL THESE STORIES AND WERE NOT TAKING ANY BLAMES FOR ANYTHING. THE TECH WHO WORKED ON MY CAR SAID HE DIDNT BROKE MY ENGINE COVER AND THAT THE SCREW WAS MISSING SO HE LEFT IT THE SAME WAY. AS A TECHNICIAN YOU WORK ON SOMEONE CAR ENGINE AND DID NOT REPLACE THE SCREW AND BROKE MY COVER AND LIED ABOUT IT AND OF COURSE NISSAN BACKS HIM EVENTHOUGH HE WAS WRING AND WAS LYING. THE MANAGER WALKED AWAY WITHOUT EVEN SAYING A WORD TO US ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING TO BE THE OUTCOME AND WHEN I APPROACH HIM ABOUT THIS MATTER HE PRETEND AS IF HE WASNT BEING RUDE BY SAYING HE SAW WE WERE ALREADY BEING TAKEN CARE OF MY THE TECH AND SERVICE MANAGER SO HE EXCUSED HIMSELF. THIS IS HOW THEY OPERATE AT REED NISSAN. THEY ARE REED NISSAN ON WEST COLONIAL DRIVE IN ORLANDO FLORIDA. NASTY.

INTAKE BOOT SEPARATES FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS CAN AND HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL. MECHANIC HAS WORKED ON IT REPEATEDLY AND IT KEEPS COMING OFF. AT BEST IT WILL STAY IN PLACE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE IT COMES OFF AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. TOLD MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY RECALL BUT HAVE EXACT SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN RECALL.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MURANO THAT I BOUGHT USED 1.5 YEARS AGO. THERE ARE TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT THE CAR HAS AND FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS HAD TO RECALL THOUSANDS OF OTHER VEHICLES. I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IT'S JUST TOO COINCIDENTAL AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. RECALL NUMBER 09V169000 RECALL DATE 05/19/2009 COMPONENT ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE RESONATOR IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE, MAY SEPARATE FROM THE RESONATOR WITH ENGINE MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION OCCURS DUE TO THE PREMATURE AGING OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE SHRINKING. RECALL NUMBER 08V521000 RECALL DATE 10/07/2008 COMPONENT AIR BAGS SUMMARY NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU). CONSEQUENCE THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

CANCELLED THAT TRIP. THREW A "CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE" CODE. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THAT PLUG AND COIL AND IT CONTINUED TO RUN ROUGH. TODAY, IT OVERHEATED AND STARTED DUMPING FLUID ON THE GROUND. THE SUSPENSION IS ALSO FAILING. WHEN WE HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE, IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL OFF. I LOVED THIS CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT AND WHEN IT RUNS RIGHT, BUT RIGHT NOW, I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED. I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR TWO MONTHS.

I'VE ONLY BEEN DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO CAR THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED USED FOR 3 WEEKS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED JERKING, SHAKING, SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD THEN IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD. THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I CALLED THE POLICE, THEY BLOCKED THE LANE I WAS IN AND CALLED A LOCAL TOW TRUCK SERVICE THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT WAS AN EMERGENCY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND THE POLICE COULD NOT CHANCE TO WAIT FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEND A TOW SERVICE.

AS I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC (APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH), I APPLIED THE BRAKES AT THE STOPLIGHT AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS, THERE WAS NO POWER, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV UP. WITH CARS FLYING BY ME, THIS WAS TERRIFYING FOR ME AND MY GRANDDAUGHTERS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MISDIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, TWICE. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, MY MURANO BEGAN TO RANDOMLY SKIP/HESITATE WITH STANDARD RPM AND EXTREMELY HIGH RPM. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH, SAYING THEY HAD REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE "PROBLEM " IS THERE, STILL THERE. ALSO THERE IS NO GUARANTEE/WARRANTY ON WARRANTED WORK. I NOW HAVE NOTHING.AND SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT IT WILL FAIL IN TRAFFIC.

STARTED MAKING A NOISE AS A FLAT TIRE, I PARKED IT. NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IS THE TRANSFER CASE AND WANT $ 3,500 TO FIX IT, I RESEARCHED ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND LOTS, TOO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE, NISSAN HAS TO BE AWARE OF THE BAD QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT AND ASSUME THE THEIR PART ON IT, OR PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS. THANK YOU *TR

THERE HAS BEEN OIL LEAKING FROM MY OIL TANK FOR OVER A YEAR. I WENT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE O-RING OR SEAL ON THE OIL TANK AND THAT THEY TEND TO GO ON THIS MODEL CAR. IT IS A $400 FIX. IF THIS IS COMMON IN THE MURANOS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON FOUR LANE BLVD THE ENGINE SUDDEN CUT OFF AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT BY TRUCK BEHIND ME, I HAD NO PRIOR WARNING NO ENGINE LIGHT, ROUGH IDLE ETC. THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO SUDDEN ENGINE CUT OFF NEED TO BE INVESTIGATE BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 15MINUTES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF AND ALL POWER WAS LOST, NO IGNITION POWER NO POWER STEERING. GOOD THING I WAS NOT IN THE CENTER LANE OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN A SIMILAR RECALL# 36089 ON THE 2004 NISSAN MURANO. THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO SHOULD ALSO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THIS COULD EASILY BECOME A FATALITY ISSUE! *TT

THE OIL PAN IS SO CORRODED THAT THE OIL BLEEDS THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE OIL PAN. THERE IS AN ENAMEL OR POWDER TYPE COATING ON THE OIL PAN THAT IS GONE. IT'S ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH THE VEHICLE BEING AS NEW AS IT IS. OIL PAN SHOULD BE A STURDY PART OF YOUR CAR AS IT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE AND HOLDS CRITICAL FLUIDS. THIS TYPE OF LEAK COULD BE A FIRE SAFETY ISSUE. *JS
