ENGINE
LAST WEEK WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHILE WAITING AT A LIGHT AT NIGHT. I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES. LAST YEAR I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. THIS TIME I HAD THE CAM SHIFT SENSORS REPLACED. GUESS WHAT? IT HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN IN ONE WEEK. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE. MY VEHICLE LOST ITS ABILITY TO EVEN HAVE ITS HAZARD BUTTONS ON. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER NO RECALL. HOW CAN THIS COMPANY GET AWAY WITH THIS? CAN THEY AT LEAST TELL US WHAT IS WRONG, SO THAT WE CAN FIX IT?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS, I REALIZED THAT IT HAD TURNED OFF. TRIED TO RE-START. FLASHED DASH SIGNS AND THEN NOTHING NOT EVEN A CLICK. I WAS ON A VERY BUSY STREET AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN. MY HAZARD BUTTON LASTED FOR 5 MINUTES AND THEN IT WENT OUT. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS GOING TO BE HIT. A MAN ACROSS THE STREET PULLED ME OUT OF HARMS WAY. WITH THE POLICE DIRECTING TRAFFIC, MY SON AND SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT STOPPED, HELPED TO PUSH THE CAR TO SAFETY. MY CAR WAS ABLE TO BE JUMPED AND DRIVEN HOME. I WILL NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. L AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT HAS 98,000 MILES ON IT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE 2005 HAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR, BUT I NEVER GOT THAT DONE. I STILL HAVE NOT HAD IT LOOKED AT. LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SEVERAL ALTERNATORS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF WITH NO WARNING? .

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE 2005 MURANO SLOWED DOWN, I PRESSED MORE FIRMLY ON THE GAS AND IT DID NOTHING. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I TRIED RESTARTING THE MURANO SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO LUCK. I HAD TO CALL FOR A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK WHICH TOOK 5 PLUS HOURS OF ME SITTING IN THE FREEZING COLD WITH NO POWER IN MY CAR IN THE DEAD OF WINTER. VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I WENT TO PEP BOYS AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND HAD PEP BOYS INSTALL IT FOR ME. THE NEXT NIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING MY FIANCE TO HIS HOUSE THE 2005 MURANO AGAIN LOST MOMENTUM AND WITHIN SECONDS SHUT DOWN. AND AGAIN I COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON. I HAD TO CALL FOR ANOTHER FLAT BED TOW TRUCK AND WAIT LUCKILY ONLY 3 HOURS THIS TIME FOR THEM TO SHOW UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN THE VEHICLE AND ANOTHER NEW BATTERY. THAT WAS IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, IT IS NOW FEBUARY 2019 AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE. WHY IS THIS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THAT THERE WAS FOR THE 2005 NISSAN MURANO? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE COST WHEN THEY HAD TO RECALL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THIS CAR FOR THIS ISSUE AND YET MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED?????

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON OUR WAY TO PICK UP DAUGHTER WHO LIVES 1.5 HOURS AWAY MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND LET IT STOP TO PUT IT IN PARK. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. I HAD TO GET REAR BRAKE PADS AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS AS WELL AS THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE REAR CALIPER. THIS ALL COST ME $1,700 AS WELL AS A WEEKEND WITH MY GRANDCHILD! THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY WARNING SIGNS THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES, I HAD ONLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2018. I PAID 5,500 DOLLARS FOR THE VEHICLE AND THUS FAR HAVE HAD TO PUT ALMOST 4,000 DOLLARS INTO REPAIRS AND TOW TRUCKS! NOW I WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND AS I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT IS VERY SQUISHY AND NOW IS GOING TO THE FLOOR!. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND MY DRIVEWAY IS COVERED IN BRAKE FLUID!!! MY MASTER CYLINDER IS OBVIOUSLY NOW NEEDING TO BE REPLACED! I PUT IN A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID HOPING TO DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP AND I CAN SEE IT DRIPPING OUT OF MY VEHICLE ALREADY WITHOUT EVEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKES! I AM GOING TO HAVE TO AGAIN CALL A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE GARAGE TO BE REPAIRED. I AM NOT SURE YET BUT I AM GUESSTIMATING THIS WILL COST ME ANOTHER 1200 DOLLARS. NOT TO MENTION I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACKNPINION????? 2005 NISSAN MURANO SEEMS TO BE THE WORST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE, AND I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE IT AS A DEATH TRAP. OH ONE LAST THING, THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. I GOT HOME AND FOUND OUT THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BACK LIGHTS THAT WORKED. NOT BRAKE LIGHTS, BLINKERS, NOTHING. DEATH TRAP

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE ENGINE ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AND WOULDN'T RESPOND BY GIVING IT GAS. THEN IT JUST LURCHED FORWARD ABRUBTLY AND BEGAN TO RUN NORMALLY. THEN AFTER ABOUT 2 MORE BLOCKS WHILE WE'RE GOING 45 MPH IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 3 LANE ROAD. THIS CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO ALMOST REAREND US BUT THE CARS BEHIND THEM ACTUALLY DID GET INTO A CRASH TRYING TO STOP FROM HITTING THEM. THANKFULLY A POLICE CAR WAS A FEW CARS BACK AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THEIR LIGHTS ON AND PUSH MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE WE COULDN'T EVEN GET OUT OF THE CAR WITH CARS WHIZZING PAST US ON BOTH SIDES. THANK GOD OR WE COULD'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE CAR CRASH AND ONE OF US COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT. THIS HAPPENED ON 07/13/18. I PAID ABOUT $600 TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND FIX SOMETHING IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. NOW IT IS ONLY A MONTH LATER, 08/15/18, AND IT'S DONE IT AGAIN. IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE DRIVING 35MPH WHILE TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP. THE CARS WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION CONES/SIGNS TO OUR RIGHT ILLEGALLY OR THEY WERE DRIVING DOWN THE SHARED TURN LANE ON OUR LEFT TO GET AROUND ME. ABOUT 200 CARS DROVE PAST US WITHOUT BOTHERING TO OFFER HELP AND EVEN AFTER CALLING 911 FOR HELP, IT TOOK THEM ALMOST AN HOUR TO SHOW UP AND ONCE AGAIN HAD TO PUSH US OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. THIS IS CREATING A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I SAW RECALL 09V169000 FOR SIMILAR OR SAME ISSUE FOR MY MODEL/YEAR BUT WHEN I LOOK UP MY VIN IT SAYS I HAVE NO RECALLS. I HAD SPENT ALMOST $1300 ABOUT 3-4 YRS AGO TO FIX THIS VERY SAME "STALLING WHILE DRIVING" ISSUE AND THOUGHT I WAS PAST ALL THIS. NOW I'M BACK TO SQUARE 1 AND ISSUE STILL EXISTS! WHY IS THIS NISSAN MURANO FLAW NOT COVERED FOR ALL MURANO'S WITH THIS PROBLEM? PEASE RESEARCH MY VIN# AND SEE IF IT CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BEFORE ONE OF US GETS SERIOUSLY HURT?

THE NEXT TIME I WAS AT A DRIVE-THRU AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ABS TURN ON AND IT DID NOT WANT TO GO FAST IT WENT AGAIN FIVE MILES AN HOUR. THEN I TURN AROUND THE CORNER AND THEN IT WENT FAST BUT THEN IT WENT SLOW AGAIN SO I PARK THE NISSAN, AND BEGIN TO START IT AND THEN IT WOULDN'T START THE ABS WENT ON AGAIN, THEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD.
