I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I HIT THE GAS TO GO WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. IT TOOK ABOUT 20 SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD GO AND WHEN IT DID IT ACTED LIKE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL WHICH I DID NOT. IT HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TWICE. NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE THE FACT THAT THE CAR STALLS.

MY MURANO LOSES POWER WHILE STOPPED OR UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ALL MY VEHICLE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUT FLICKER AND FLASH. THESES LIGHTS INCLUDE DOME, DASH, RADIO, OUTSIDE LIGHTS HEADLIGHTS, PARK LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY ALWAYS SAY IT'S THE BATTERY. I'VE HAD 5 NISSAN BATTERIES IN 5 YEARS. I'VE HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED WITH NO RELIEF FOR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS

I HAVE A REPEATED ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH MY CAR. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT MY ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED IMPROPERLY BUT I WAS RECENTLY ON THE NHTSA PAGE AND FOUND OVER 20 COMPLAINTS THAT EXPRESSED THE SAME EXACT ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING. THAT ISSUE BEING THE FACT THAT MY CAR, WHEN IN MOTION WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AND GO INTO NEUTRAL. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND FOR ME HAS HAPPENED BOTH TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 75 MPH. ONCE THE CAR STALLS OUT, THE POWER STEERING WILL ALSO GO OUT IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AT THAT TIME. THEREFORE, YOU HAVE ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO ROLL YOUR CAR TO A SAFE SPOT IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH. THERE IS NO TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON, AS WHEN YOU TRY TO DO SO ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START BACK UP AS THE BATTERY IS DEAD OR CLOSE TO IT. IF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU CAN GET JUMPED BUT THE BATTERY BECOMES SO DRAINED THAT IT CANNOT EVEN HOLD A CHARGE FOR A MILES WORTH OF POWER. BOTH TIMES I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY MURANO TOWED INTO A SHOP. THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED I WAS TOLD I NEED MY BATTERY REPLACED AS IT WAS DEAD AND THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF MY ENGINE FAILURE. THIS SOUNDED STRANGE TO ME AT THE TIME, AS THE BATTERY THAT I HAD WAS A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR OLD BUT I WAS JUST WANTING TO PICKUP A WORKING CAR AND PUT THIS BEHIND ME. MY CAR WORKED PROPERLY FOR 48 DAYS BEFORE I AGAIN, HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE OCCUR TO ME, WHILE AGAIN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 75 MPH. THIS TIME, THERE WAS NOT ADEQUATE SPACE ON THE HIGHWAY TO PULL OVER AND I HAD TO CALL 911 IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH. AGAIN, I HAD MY CAR TOWED AND WAS NOW TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH I THEN HAD REPLACED. I AM NOW WORRIED THIS ISSUE WILL REOCCUR AS PEOPLE ARE STATING THEY HAVE HAD THEIR ALTERNATOR REPLACED 2 AND 3 TIMES AND ARE STILL BEING PUT IN THESE SCARY, ENGINE FAILURE SITUATIONS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD ASIDE FROM THE TPMS LIGHT. THERE WAS A LOUD POP NOISE, SO I PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT OUT. WITHIN 30 SECONDS SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND QUICKLY TURNED FROM WHITE TO BLACK. THEN THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS COMPLETELY BURNED WITH NOTHING BUT THE TRUNK LEFT IN TACT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING SEVERAL TIMES. VARIOUS UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLICKERED EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER (SUTHERLIN NISSAN OF FORT PIERCE, 4815 S US-1, FORT PIERCE, FL 34982, (772) 924-2668) KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR OVER A MONTH, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IN JUNE 2018, MY CAR STARTED STOPPING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHO CHANGE MY ALTERNATOR. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I CHANGE MY BRAKES, STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER , THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR HAS ABS MODULE RECALLED AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED IT. THE CAR COULD NOT DRIVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT THUS, I RETURNED IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY DIAGANED TRANSMISSION ISSUES, THEY SAID THEY FIX IT. THE CAR STOP WITHIN THREE BLOCKS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I RETURNED IT BACK TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, NOW, THEY SAID IT'S THE ALTERNATOR. I INFORMED THEM THAT I HAVE THE ALTERNATOR CHANGED LEST THAN 30 DAYS. THE CAR IS A LEMON BECAUSE OF THE ABS MODULE THAT NISSAN CANOT FIX OR UNABLE TO FIX. EVERY TIME THAT CAR IS IN MOTION, THE ABS LIGHT TURN ON AND THE CAR STOPS ABRUTLY. I HAVE TWO TEENAGERS WHO DRIVES MY CAR TO GO TO SCHOOL. IT BECOMES A HAZARD AND UNSAFE DUE TO THE RECALL OF THE ABS MODULE .

WELL LETS START WITH THE ENGINE STALLING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSE THE ENGINE LACKS THE POWER TO EVEN MOVE. THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASING NO MATTER WHAT IT DOES'NT GO OFF.THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR RIGHT SIDE UNDER THE CARRIAGE. THE LEFT REAR TIRE IT LOBSIDED AND WHEN IT RAINS THE REAR OF THE CAR FEELS LIKE ITS ON ICE AND SWAYS SIDE TO SIDE IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF EVEN IF YOU INFLATE TO PROPER RANGE AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING HOPE THAT SOME ONE IN YOUR COMPANY DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT YOU MAY END UP IN COURT FIX THEM BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT....ALL THIS IN MOTION. STREET AND HIGHWAY. DOCUMENTATION YES THE WHOLE CAR IS DOCUMENTATION.

I OWN A NISSAN MURANO 2009, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR. THE CHARGER WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LAMPS WILL IMMEDIATELY COME ON AND THE BATTER WILL BEGIN TO DISCHARGE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE ENGINE WILL GO INTO A "FALL SAFE" CONDITION WHICH WILL LIMIT VEHICLE SPEED. THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IS TO HAVE IT TOWED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INSTEAD. EACH TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AT A HIGH SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, BUT THE ENGINE KEPT REVVING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, BUT ONCE IT RESTARTED, THE RPMS KEPT INCREASING AND A POPPING SOUND WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AGAIN AND OPERATED NORMALLY WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,000.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF ON MY CAR-I TOOK THE CAR BACK 4 TIMES TO THE DEALER AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

VEHICLE WITH 70,000 MILES HAS HEAD GASKET LEAK. CAR HAS ONLY BEEN MAINTAINED BY DEALER FOR SERVICING. AFTER RESEARCHING MANY NISSAN OWNERS HAS HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE. SHOULD THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED OR SHOULD CONSUMERS BE GAUGED FOR $40,000 FOR A VEHICLE THAT WILL ONLY LAST 70,000 MILES BEFORE HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS. ALSO I CONTINUOUSLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM.

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO STUMBLE AS IF IT WAS FUEL STARVED AND WAS LOSING POWER AND WANTED TO STALL. PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND GOOSING THE GAS AT IDLE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS KEPT THE VEHICLE GOING UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CAM AND CRANK POSITION SENSORS. ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME TWO PARTS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED. THEY LASTED LESS THAN ONE DAY AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAJOR REPAIRS BECAUSE OF EITHER THE PARTS OR A COMBINATION OF THE PARTS AND INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS.

I HAVE LESS THAN 61,000 MILES ON MY 09 MURANO. I NEED TO KNOW WHY WHEN I LIST MY VIN, THERE ARE NO RECALLS, YET IF I SEARCH MAKE,MODEL,AND YR.,WITHOUT VIN, THREE ARE LISTED. THREE WHICH I HAVE HAD ALL HAPPEN AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM), SAYS TPMS WAS IN CERTAIN STATES. HOW CAN YOU SPECIFY THIS RECALL TO THOSE STATES? PEOPLE MOVE, TRAVEL TO THOSE STATES, AND YES, WE USE ROAD SALT HERE. MY TPMS CAME ON THIS PAST JULY AND WILL NOT GO OFF. BUT, SEEMS YOUR RECALL MAY NOT APPLY IN THE SOUTH. I ALSO, IN JULY 2014, HAD ALL 4 MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. NISSAN SAID ALL 4 WOULD NEED REPLACING SOON AFTER HEARING A KNOCKING WHEN EVER I STARTED OFF (LIKE AT RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN). MOTOR COULD FALL OUT. NISSAN WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $800.00 FOR ONE (ALL I COULD AFFORD AT ONE TIME). A FRIEND TOOK IT TO A WELL KNOWN REPUTABLE AUTO STORE AND THEY REPLACED ALL 4 FOR $900.00. NOW NISSAN WOULD NOT BE OVER CHARGING THAT MUCH, WOULD THEY? YEA, RIGHT. AFFECTED PARTS? SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF THE 153 COMPLAINTS FILED REFER TO MOTOR MOUNTS. HAVE ANY MOTORS FALLEN OUT TO CAUSE ACCIDENT? *TR

2009 NISSAN MURANO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE BELTS AND STEERING WHEEL PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER HE LEFT THE DEALER, HE HEARD A GRINDING SOUND WHEN HE TRIED TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH HE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED BEFORE. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A KNOW PROBLEM, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *JB

NEW VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT SEPTEMBER 2009. ON 04/26/2011, EAST CHARLOTTE NISSAN'S MECHANICS CHANGED TRANSFER CASE BECAUSE LEAKING. VEHICLE HAD 29,505 MILES. ON MARCH 24, 2014, ECN'S ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT IS NECESSARY TO CHANGE TRANSFER CASE AND GASKET BECAUSE LEAKING. VEHICLE HAD APROX 70,000 MILES. AFTER OWNER REQUESTED HELP TO NC CONSUMER PROTECTION, ECN'S GENERAL MANAGER REPLIED NEITHER OF THOSE LEAKS WOULD BE CONSIDERED ABNORMAL SINCE REPAIR WAS NEARLY THREE YEARS AND VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 50,000 MILES. ALSO, HE STATES THAT OWNER BECAUSE HIS FINANCIAL SITUATION WANTS TO GET VEHICLE FIXED AT NO COST AND THAT IS DISHONEST AND UNETHICAL. OWNER NEVER TRIED TO GET A FREE REPAIR. HE ONLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW: WHY TRANSFER CASE AND GASKET SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY THREE YEARS BECAUSE LEAKING? HOWEVER, THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE CHANGED HAPPENED AFTER ONE YEAR AND SEVEN MONTHS AND WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. *JS

WE WERE DRIVING AND THE CAR LOST SPEED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY HAD FAILED. THIS WAS THE SECOND NEW BATTERY. THEN, THE CAR RAN UNTIL THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AND AGAIN THE CAR STOPPED ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. AGAIN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THIS TIME THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD ALTERNATOR. QUESTIONS BOUGHT UP THAT THE 2008 NISSAN MURANOS HAD A CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT NOT THE 2009. PROBLEM IS THAT WITHOUT WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM, THE CAR BATTERY GOES DEAD AND THE CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THE RISK OF CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT IS EXTREME. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING OUR 2009 NISSAN MURANO IN SEPT 2012 A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AT TIMES IN THE FLOOR BOARD...IT WAS DISCOVERED TO BE A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT...THIS WAS REPLACED UNDER 30 DAY WARRANTY FROM PLACE OF PURCHASE. THE SUNROOF COVER ALSO WAS DEFECTIVE AS IT WOULD NOT OPEN COMPLETELY AT TIMES AND ALSO REQUIRED REPLACING. SINCE THIS TIME IN 2013 THE WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY AT ALL TIMES...THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECREATED FOR A TECH TO INSPECT....SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT GO AS FAST AS SHOULD IF HEAVY RAIN AND OTHER TIMES GO TOO FAST IF BARELY DRIZZLING, THIS IS ON THE INTERMITTENT FUNCTION. FEBRUARY 2014 WAS DUE TO TAKE IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THAT DAY AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON THAT MORNING...WAS ADVISED NEEDS NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WAS AT 85K, MANF. WARRANTY WENT OUT AT 80K, EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED AND PAID EXTRA FOR WAS TO COVER UP TO 150K; HOWEVER, DOES NOT COVER THIS PART. NISSAN SAYS NOTHING ON THEM, FUNNY THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MADE THE VEHICLE, AND REGARDLESS OF THIS BEING A USED VEHICLE (WE ARE THE SECOND OWNER) THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN TELL IN ADVANCE IS GOING OUT...WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY NOISE PRIOR AND THIS WAS FIRST TIME LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE FIXED IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION OR I WILL NOT HAVE A VEHICLE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE WITH EXTREME HESITATION. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S DESTINATION BUT FAILED TO RESTART ONCE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT HEAD GASKET WAS FRACTURED. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE ENGINE BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO AND I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TRANSFER CASE LEAKING AND WAS QUOTED AT LEAST $3,000 TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO AND WILL AFFECT MY TRANSMISSION BUT TO STAY ON TOP OF MY OIL CHANGES AND FLUIDS TO HELP PREVENT THE SYSTEM FROM FAILING. AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE I ASKED IF THE SYSTEM WAS CHECKED AND I WAS TOLD "EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD." ABOUT A WEEK AGO (WAS NOT DUE YET FOR A OIL CHANGE) MY CAR WOULD JOLT INTO REVERSE AND WOULD BE HESITANT TO GO AND SAME THING WITH DRIVING FORWARD. THE CAR IS STUCK IN AWD, TRANSMISSION CLICKS WHEN DRIVING, AND JOLTING OCCURS DRIVING FORWARD AND REVERSING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSFER CASE FAILING IN THIS TYPE OF CAR. *TR

WHEN VEHICLE IS ACCELERATED FROM A STOP, LOUD THUMP IS FELT AND HEARD FROM FLOORBOARD. NISSAN DEALER REFUSED TO COVER REPLACEMENT OF CRACKED FRONT END MOTOR MOUNTS. OTHER MURANO OWNERS REPORT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP FOR MAJOR (60K) MAINTENANCE. INSPECTIONS SHOWED SOME LEAKAGE OF COOLANT FROM TOP OF ENGINE, DIAGNOSIS CONFIRMED AS LEAKING HEAD GASKETS.
