ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE POWER DOOR LOCKS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM. THE NISSAN DEALER SAYS THE ACTUATORS ARE PROBABLY TO BLAME AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE REPAIR IS ABOUT $600 PER LOCK. THERE IS NO KEY HOLE TO USE TO GAIN ACCESS FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE ONLY KEY ACCESS IS THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THIS CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY FOR TRUNK ACCESS BY ELDERLY FOLK, WHO HAVE TO CLIMB INTO THE TRUNK AREA TO OPEN THE TRUNK.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO STAY IN ITS STOWED/RAISED POSITION. DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD DROP RAPIDLY INTO FIELD OF VIEW UNEXPECTEDLY AND AT THE SLIGHTEST ROAD VIBRATION AS WE TRAVELED ALONG. MONTHS WERE SPENT DRIVING WITH LEFT HAND OCCUPIED AS A TOOL TO HOLD THE DEFECTIVE VISOR UP AND OUT OF VISUAL FIELD. WHILE HANDS AND COMPLETE ATTENTION ARE NEEDED FOR SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION, MANAGING A FAULTY SUN VISOR TO MAINTAIN FULL VIEW OF ROAD DETAILS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION. DISTRACTED DRIVING IS RECOGNIZED/DOCUMENTED BY A MULTITUDE OF ACCIDENTS, OFTEN OF DEADLY CONSEQUENCE. THE DEFECTIVE DRIVER'S VISOR WAS REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE, NO WARRANTY, HOWEVER, FAILED IN THE SAME IRRITATING AND DANGEROUS MANNER IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. FOR SAFETY SAKE I'LL MOST LIKELY REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE VISOR AND TOSS TO TRASH BEFORE A THIRD VISOR IS PURCHASED WITH SAME DANGEROUS, VISUAL-OBSTRUCTING, BUILT-IN MALFUNCTION.

SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME WOBBLY AND UNSTABLE WITHOUT WARNING MAKING DRIVING QUITE DIFFICULT; DEALERSHIP STAFF INDICATED SEAT TRACK NEEDED COSTLY REPAIR. DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT STAY PUT; COST TO REPLACE WOULD BE NEARLY $200. I THOUGHT THESE ITEMS LASTED FOR THE DURATION OF THE VEHICLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL DROPPING MY SON OFF FOR SCHOOL ONE MORNING IN SEPTEMBER. AS I PULLED OFF FROM THE CORNER AND THEN TRIED TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN, MY CAR JUST STOPPED, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I HAD TO PULL AS HARD AS I COULD TO FINISH THE TURN AND NOT GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS TERRIFIED BUT GLAD THAT MY SON WASN'T IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. FOR THE PAST FIVE MONTHS, MY NISSAN MURANO JUST STOPS OR STALLS AT RANDOM. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST, WHETHER I'M TURNING OR NOT, IT JUST TURNS OFF. I HAVE TO QUICKLY TURN THE KEY TO "OFF" AND THEN TRY TO QUICKLY RESTART THE CAR. I'VE HAD TO STRUGGLE TO PULL THE WHEEL TO PULL THE CAR TO THE CURB JUST TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND IT'S HAPPENED WITH MY HUSBAND AS WELL, AND HE'S DRIVEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY (WHICH WE WILL NO LONGER TRY WITH THAT CAR). NO HELP FROM NISSAN OR NISSAN DEALERSHIPS - JUST GIVEN THE RUN AROUND ABOUT VERY UNSAFE CAR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN STARTING THE CAR FROM A PARKED POSITIONED AFTER RUNNING A FEW ERRANDS DURING A SLIGHT ICE/SNOW FALL MID-MORNING AND WIPERS DID NOT MOVE WHEN ACTIVATED. I TURNED THE WIPERS ON HIGH AND LISTENED FOR THE MOTOR WHICH WAS RUNNING BUT IT SEEMED WIPER WERE DETACHED. I SPENT 2 DAYS DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK AT NIGHT WITH RAIN AND SNOW FALL EACH WAY. I WAS DANGEROUS BUT I COULD NOT CALL IN. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE AND APPARENTLY IT IS VERY COMMON FOR MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF NISSANS TO HAVE THIS LINKAGE BRAKE.

SEATS
FOLLOWING VEHICLE BEING IN FOR COOLANT SYSTEM REPAIR, I ENTERED VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE AND FOUND THE SEAT MOVED FORWARD TO THE EXTREME, I MOVED IT BACK AND SAT DOWN, RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED THE SEAT DID NOT FEEL STABLE, WAS UNSURE IF THIS WAS RELATED TO THE RECENT WORK, BEGAN DRIVING VEHICLE, WENT A SHORT DISTANCE, DRIVER SEAT WAS LISTING TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE, AND WAS UNSTABLE. I RETURNED IMMEDIATELY TO REPAIR SHOP, OF COURSE LATE IN DAY AND CLOSING TIME. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD LOOK AT NEXT DAY, LOW AND BEHOLD, THE BAD NEWS BEGINS ARRIVING ABOUT MIDMORNING- THE SEAT TRACK IS BROKEN AND WILL COST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPAIR. DURING MY DRIVE BACK TO REPAIR SHOP NEXT DAY, THE SEAT FEELS VERY UNSTABLE AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANY LENGTH OF TIME; CREATES A SIGNIFICANT FEELING THAT CONTROL OF VEHICLE IS NOT SECURE, DUE TO SEAT INSTABILITY. AREN'T SEAT SUPPOSE TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, WHAT IS ALL THAT MONEY PAYING FOR?

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.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN MURANO WHICH I PURCHASED ON 5/5/2015. I FELT COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PURCHASE BASED ON THE CARFAX WHICH STATED NO ACCIDENT / DAMAGE REPORTED , NO TOTAL LOSS, NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. AFTER, GOING TO A LOCAL GAS STATION AND PURCHASING THE REQUIRED OCTANE. I PULLED OFF INTO TRAFFIC SAFELY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT BUDGE. TERRIFIED THAT I WOULD GET HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC, I JUMPED INTO ACTION AND PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE. I LET OUT HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF BECAUSE, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IN REVERSE. I CAUGHT MY BREATH AND NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON. I TOOK MY CAR TOO A LOCAL AUTOZONE AND THE CODES THAT I RECEIVED ARE ALL TRANSMISSION CODES. AFTER BEING INSTRUCTED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED BY A AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT I NEED A NEW CVT TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER CASE RESEALED. BASED ON NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THE SAFETY ISSUES. I DEEM MY CAR UNSAFE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE ANY AND ALL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.
