VISIBILITY
BOTH VISORS ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAVE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY BOTH VISORS HAVE LOST THEIR TENSION CAUSING THEM TO FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING, BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. ALSO THEY WILL NOT STAY WHERE THEY ARE PLACED, SO THEY DO NOT SERVE THE PURPOSE OF BLOCKING THE SUN MAKING THEM MORE HAZARDOUS. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH NISSAN CORPORATE (FILE NUMBER [XXX]) IN MARCH OF 2010, BUT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
PROBLEM WITH DOOR LOCKS ON 05 NISSAN MURANO OCCASIONALLY WORKING, OCCASIONALLY NOT. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM IN NISSAN VEHICLES. 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. 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. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
1. EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE - I CHANGED THE AIR CLEANER. 2. THE ENGINE STOPS WORKING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES AFTER I HAD CHANGED THE AIR CLEANER. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THAT THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING SUDDENLY, WITHOUT NOTICE, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN TRAFFIC. 3. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE REPAIR AT NO COST IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT AIR WAS LEAKING IN PAST A SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE SENSOR TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. THE REPAIR CONSISTED OF ALIGNING TUBES WITHIN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM AND ENSURING THEY WERE TIGHT SO THAT NO OTHER AIR COULD LEAK IN. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2005 NISSAN MURANO: FOUR OF SIX LOCK ACTUATORS ARE FAILING SIMULTANEOUSLY - THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR, BOTH REAR DOORS AND THE REAR CARGO HATCH. FAILURE WERE INTERMITTENT UNTIL 5/9/10 WHEN ALL FAILED COMPLETELY AT THE SAME TIME. YOU CAN PRESS THE LOCK/UNLOCK SWITCH AND THE DOORS WILL AUDIBLY APPEAR TO LOCK. HOWEVER, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE PRESENTING A SECURITY HAZARD - CAR JACKING, STOLEN PROPERTY, ETC. NISSAN HAS TOLD MANY OF US OWNERS THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY REPLACING ALL THE ACTUATORS AT A COST OF $1,600+. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY STORIES OF THIS SAME FAILURE IN MURANOS AND OTHER NISSAN MODELS THAT IT IS SIMPLY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2006 NISSAN MURANO S AWD VIN # [XXX]. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE END OF MARCH 2010. I SCHEDULED MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT IN THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. PRIOR TO THE APPT, I NOTICED A MAJOR DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE 2 FUEL INSTRUMENT GAUGES. WHENEVER FUEL WOULD BE DOWN TO AROUND A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS, ONE OR BOTH OF THE GAUGES/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WOULD SHOW ANY WHERE FROM 1/2 A TANK OF FUEL TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE IN APRIL, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT, AND THAT MY AFTER MARKET WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM THAT DEALERSHIP, DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR NEEDED. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE 'FUEL SENDER'(FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT). I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR(S) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WITH PARTS AND LABOR, THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST WOULD BE $450. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM MYSELF, I FOUND THAT NISSAN IS HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE IN OTHER MODELS THE SAME MODEL YEAR, 2006. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND FOUND THAT NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE ARE BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME. I FEEL THAT GIVEN THE LARGE-SCALE RECALL (540,000 VEHICLES MOSTLY IN THE US) IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL OTHER MODELS, SAME YEAR, SAME PROBLEM, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MY MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I HAVE NOT AS OF YET RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE ROADWAY BUT THAT IS MAINLY DUE TO CONSTANTLY KEEPING THE TANK AT LEAST HALF FULL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AT MY EXPENSE IN HOPES THAT THE NHTSA WILL MAKE NISSAN EXTEND ITS RECALL, AS IT SHOULD. *TR
