LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN MURANO AND RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS. THE FAILURE OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME. THE DRIVER DOOR WON'T LOCK UNLESS I LOCK IT MANUALLY AND WON'T UNLOCK UNLESS DONE MANUALLY. THE PASSENGER DOOR AND REAR LEFT DOOR ARE MORE SPORADIC. SOMETIMES THEY LOCK SOMETIMES THEY DON'T SOMETIMES THEY LOCK HALFWAY AND THEN WON'T OPEN AND THERE IS NO KEYLOCK TO OPEN THE REAR AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS SO I HAVE TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR TO THEN TRY AND OPEN THE OTHER DOORS. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT NEW DOOR ACTUATORS ARE REQUIRED. I WAS LUCKY AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PAID FOR MY DRIVER'S DOOR REPAIR BUT REFUSED THE OTHER TWO DOORS. *TR

2003 MURANO DRIVER SEAT ASSEMBLY HAS BROKEN FOR THE SECOND TIME IN DIFFERENT LOCATION. FIRST TIME WAS UNDER THE FRONT PART OF THE SEAT STEEL SUPPORT ROD WAS DISLODGED FROM STEEL SEAT SUPPORT ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND I HAD TO HAVE IT WELDED BACK TOGETHER. NOW THE BACK STEEL SUPPORT HAS BROKEN. NISSAN DEALERS SAY IT IS NOT COVERED IN ANY WARRANTY THEY HAVE AND IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY 1000.00 FOR THEM TO ORDER A NEW SEAT AND INSTALL IT. I'VE READ MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AS THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN CHOOSES TO IGNORE. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE OF HOURS ON HIGHWAY, IT WILL NOT PULL UP A HILL, PASS A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IF I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR HARD, IT JERKS, SLOWS DOWN AND ALMOST STOPS. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN WARM/HOT. IT WON'T DO IT WHEN COLD, SO THE NISSAN DEALER CAN NOT SEE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE WITH AGE. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I DARE NOT LET ANYONE DRIVE IT IN THE FAMILY EXCEPT ME. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON DEFECT FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. *TR

MY NISSAN MURANO 03 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I TOOK IT OUT MY DRIVER SEAT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACK IT WASN'T THAT WAY WHEN IT WENT IN AND THE DEALER SAID IT IS A GEAR ON THE RAIL COST $700.00 ALSO AT THE SAME TIME THERE IS SOME ROCKING IN MY SEAT THEY SAID ITS A BEGINNER OF A CRACK RAIL , THE COST TO REPLACE $1200.00 SOUNDS DANGEROUS AND WOULD THINK NISSAN TO RECALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE SEATS WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IF STOPPING SUDDENLY THEY SHOULD RECALL AND GO AFTER THE SUPPLIER OF THE STEEL . WHY MAKE THE CITIZENS PAID FOR THERE MISTAKES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM ONE OF PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I DRIVE A CONGESTED FREEWAY AND AT LEAST TWICE, SOMETIMES THREE TIMES A WEEK, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR STARTS TO HESITATE WHEN I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR. I ACTUALLY HAVE FOUND THAT "FEATHERING" IT HELPS FROM HAVING IT JERK FORWARD AS I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT IT IS STILL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS IS CONTINUOUS WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR ALMOST TO A STOP UNTIL, AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED, I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. DIFFICULT TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. IT GOES AWAY FOR A WHILE AFTER I TURN IT OFF, BUT IF THE DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE THE SAME, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS A SENSOR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, AS THERE ARE NO RE-BUILDS AVAILABLE AND NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE PARTS FOR THIS TRANSMISSION AVAILABLE FOR RE-BUILDS. THE QUOTE FOR REPLACEMENT IS OVER $8,000. I BELIEVE THIS IS APPROXIMATELY WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED OR WORSE AS A RESULT OF IT, IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY HAPPENED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS MISSING AS IT WAS DRIVEN. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE #1 CYLINDER HAD NO COMPRESSION. THIS IS WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. IT ENDED UP NEEDED A VALVE JOB - $3,200. WHEN THEY TOOK OFF THAT PART OF THE ENGINE TO HAVE IT MACHINED, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND THE FRONT ONE WAS ABOUT TO FAIL. IN THE CASE OF THE CYLINDER ISSUE AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUE I WAS ABLE TO VISUALLY SEE AND CONFIRM WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. THEY SAID THAT THE PIECES OF THE FAILED REAR CATALYTIC CONVERTER MORE THAN LIKELY GOT SUCKED BACK INTO THE CYLINDER, SCRATCHING THE SURFACE OF IT AND CAUSING THE COMPRESSION LOSS. SINCE THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND IT WAS UNDER THE 8YEAR/80,000 LIMIT I CALLED NISSAN LOOKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON AT LEAST THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS COST. THEY SAID THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 2011, WHICH IS EIGHT YEARS, BUT THAT IT WASN'T COVERED BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY BE COVERED IF THERE WAS A RECALL. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE EPA FACT SHEET EPA420-F-96-020 SAYS. I WILL TRY TO CONTACT ANOTHER NISAN LOCATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME OR TRANSFER ME TO ANYONE ELSE. SO I NEEDED A VALVE JOB AND TWO NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BECAUSE OF THIS. AT THIS POINT, THE OLD CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT ON MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO HAS BROKEN. IT WOBBLES AND LEANS FORWARD AND TO THE LEFT. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION ON-LINE, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE OF MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO, WHICH HAS 33,293 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN NOTICED RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING FROM A HOSE THAT IS LOCATED BEHIND A FAN-BELT TENSION PULLEY. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BRACKET ON WHICH THE PULLEY IS MOUNTED HAD FAILED CAUSING THE PULLEY TO BE PUSHED OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY DAMAGING THE HOSE AND BELT, RESULTING IN A REPAIR COST OF $450.27. THE REPAIR CONSISTED OF REPLACING ALL THE EFFECTED COMPONENTS AT MY EXPENSE. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE "DEFECTIVE BRACKET" WAS REPLACED WITH AN IDENTICAL ITEM SHARING THE SAME DEFECTIVE QUALITIES. NISSAN WILL NOT DIVULGE THE REASON FOR THE BRACKETS FAILURE. MY CONCERN IS: IF THIS "PULLEY DEVISE" HAD BROKEN OFF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE BRACKET WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT SPEED, IT WOULD HAVE DONE INCALCULABLE DAMAGE ,POSSIBLY CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, PROBABLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT CAUSED THE BRACKET TO FAIL, HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW, BUT THAT I SHOULD CONSIDER MYSELF FORTUNATE THAT HE DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WHEN HE DID. APPARENTLY, OTHER OWNERS WERE NOT SO FORTUNATE, THEIR CARS HAD TO BE TOWED AND THE DAMAGE WAS MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED I ASKED TO BE GIVEN THE DEFECTIVE AND DAMAGED PARTS AND NOW HAVE THEM IN MY POSSESSION. *TR

A 2003 NISSAN MURANO HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED A FLOPPY SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND IS ABOUT TO ACQUIRE A FLOPPY VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ALSO, THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE MAINLY DUE TO THE DISTRACTION. THE DEALERS WANT AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT FOR THIS PART (300-400DOLLAR RANGE) WHEN THE ONLY THING A CUSTOMER HAS DONE IS BUY THE CAR (25,000-30,000). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2003 NISSAN MURANO, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME I BROUGHT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WAS WRONG. ON SATURDAY SEPT 26, 2009 AT 4:00 PM I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO AND WITHOUT WARNING OR ANYTHING THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY, EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING INCLUDING THE BREAKS. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS APPEARS SOME 2003 NISSAN MURANO'S WERE RECALLED BY NHTSA, BUT WHEN I WENT TO NISSAN THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL? I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I'VE EXPERIENCED EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL ( 03V455000) IS INDICATING. I DON'T BELIEVE NISSAN RECALLED ALL THE CARS THEY SHOULD HAVE WITH THIS PROBLEM, OBVIOUSLY SINCE I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN NEED TO RECALL MY 2003 NISSAN AND ALL OTHERS ITS FAILED TO INCLUDE EITHER BY ERROR OR ON PURPOSE? I TRIED TO WORK WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA NO HELP AT ALL. I NEED SOMEONE TO REVIEW THIS CASE AND HOPEFULLY SAVE LIVES BY HAVING NISSAN DO A COMPLETE RECALL ON THE CARS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. SINCE PURCHASING IT, I'VE HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN AT MULTIPLE SHOPS EVERY TWO MONTHS TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. PROBLEM - DELAYED START AND HESITATION. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM WHEN HE RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC. HE COULDN'T TELL EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I DRIVE, IT STALLS. WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC, THERE'S HESITATION. IT NORMALLY TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO KICK IN, AND THEN I TAKE THE RISK OF HITTING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. IN REVIEWING WEBSITES REGARDING NISSAN MURANOS, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE CVT, PRESSURE SENSORS, ETC. NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO THE DEFECT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS, BUT STILL NO RECALLS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN FIX THE PROBLEM IS BY RESTARTING MY CAR AND THEN SUDDENLY I'M FINE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. WHY IS IT NOT? THE PROBLEM DOESN'T OCCUR ON A DAILY BASIS SO WHEN I GET IT TO THE SHOP THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE IT. IT WON'T SHOW THEM THE SAME SYMPTOMS I DEAL WITH. MY CAR IS AT NISSAN NOW FOR THE AIR INTAKE RECALL. THEY JUST CALLED ME AND TOLD ME IT IS STILL ATTACHED WHICH TELLS THEM IT'S NOT THAT THAT'S CAUSING MY PROBLEMS. *TR

THE DEALER WANTS $500 PER VISOR & I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE MURANO.ORG BULLETIN BOARD. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER THE SUV REACHES 4-5 YEARS AFTER BEING BUILT. *TR

2003 NISSAN MURANO PASSENGER SUN VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE UP POSITION--DROOPS WHICH RESULTS IN BLOCKED VISION. VERY UNSAFE. COMMENTS ON INTERNET INDICATE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH 2003 AND LATER MURANOS. SUGGEST YOU INVESTIGATE--DEALERS ARE APPARENTLY CHARGING $400 PLUS FOR REPAIR OF SHODDY CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR MICHAEL J. BUTTS ATTORNEY AT LAW

ON 14 SEP 09 TOOK CAR (03 NISSAN MURANO) INTO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO FIGURE OUT WHY DRIVER SIDE SEAT WHEN SITTING ON THE SEAT WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. INITIALLY I THOUGHT THAT A SPRING IN THE SEAT HAD WORN OUT; BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE RAIL SYSTEM THAT THE SEAT WAS FIXED TO HAD CRACKED AND THE COST WOULD BE $800.00 TO REPAIR. HOW DOES A STEEL RAIL SYSTEM CRACK? I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE NISSAN SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS WAS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE SEAT WAS NOT SECURELY FASTENED AND WOULD ROCK FROM SIDE TO SIDE. *TR

PREVIOUSLY IN LOVE WITH MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO, WITHIN THE LAST 4 MONTHS (100,000 MILES) I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS. THROTTLE BODY, CV BOOTS, AXLE SEALS, FRONT AND BACK MOTOR MOUNTS, RADIATOR, AND MOST RECENTLY NEEDS A 4,000 TRANSMISSION REPAIR. JUST AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, MY CAR GETS TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE, EVEN IF I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR, THEN IT SUDDENLY LUNGES FORWARD. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED AND REFUSE TO SPEND ANOTHER DOLLAR ON THIS CAR, WHICH IS FALLING APART AT AN EXPONENTIAL SPEED. THIS IS ONLY A 6YEAR OLD CAR! *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
START HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO AROUND 80,000 MILES. THE CAR STARTED TO SKIP WHILE RUNNING AND SOON AFTER, THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE NO POWER. SOMETIME AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 20 MINS OR MORE MOSTLY COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD EXPERIENCE NO POWER WHEN ACCELERATE". AFTER TURNING, THE CAR OFF AND ALLOW IT TO SIT FOR 10 MINS. THE PROBLEM DID NOT REPEAT UNTIL AGAIN DRIVING OVER 20 MINS AND REPEAT AS ABOVE. MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. I HAD MY LOCAL AUTOZONE TO RUN A DIAGS TEST AND TWO CODES CAME UP P0011"CAMSHAFT POSITION BANK 1 & P0021 CAMSHAFT POSITION BANK 2. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOO RAN A DIAGS TEST AND BOTH CODES WERE PRESENT FOR FAILED INTAKE TIMING SENSORS. THEY SAID THE CARS OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW AND RECOMMENDED A CHANGE. NISSAN REPLACED BOTH CAMSHAFT CENSORS ON 1/08/09. TOTAL REPAIRS & LABOR WAS $430.00 ON 06/01/09 AGAIN THE CAR WAS REPEATING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN ANOTHER DIAGS TEST. AGAIN, CODES P0011 & P0021 WERE PRESENT. THE SERVICE TECH EXPLAINS THE REASON FOR THE CODE WAS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT OIL CHANGES. ALSO, EXPLAIN THE CAR NEEDS THE 90000 MILE SERVICE TREATMENTS. THEY PERFORMED THE 27-POINT INSPECTION "ALL" CHANGED AIR FILTER, BATTERY SERVICE LUBE LOCKS, OIL & FILTER CHANGE ROTATE TIRES. TOTAL REPAIRS AND LABOR $334.99. WHEN I PICK THE CAR UP, THE CAR STILL DID NOT HAVE THE POWER IT NORMALLY HAD BEFORE ALL THE PROBLEMS, HOWEVER THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE TECH TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT AND BRING IT BACK IF PROBLEM OCCUR. MY TOTAL REPAIRS THIS TIME $334.99. THE CAR CONTINUE TO MISS & SKIP AND WOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE A LOSS OF POWER AND WOULD DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER DRIVING MORE THAN 20 MINS IN 80 DEGREE TEMP. I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS; MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE PART OF THE 03V455000 RECALL CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. *TR
