BASICALLY ONCE YOU HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR AWHILE OR STUCK IN TRAFFIC THE CAR DOES NOT GO AT FIRST WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS. IT JUST SITS THERE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR SO THEN IT TAKES OFF. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS CAUSING OTHERS TO BE FORCED TO SLAM INTO YOU IF YOU ARE IN FRONT OF THEM. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO ESPECIALLY ON HOT DAYS/IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN IT HAPPENS (4X/WEEK), THE VEHICLE WILL BE AT A COMPLETE STOP & NOT BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL AROUND 3K RPMS. THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED BY CYCLING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN ON, GIVEN THAT THE DRIVING CONDITIONS DON'T REMAIN IN THE FORM WHICH APPEARED TO INITIATE THE INCIDENT. IN A FEW INSTANCE THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING, WITH THE A/C ON WHILE I MADE A QUICK RUN INTO A CONVIENENCE STORE. AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE WITHOUT A PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED IT'S SLIGHT HESITATION WHILE IN DRIVE, BUT THEN LURCHED FORWARD AT ~3K RPMS, AND ACQUIRED THE DESIRED SPEED AND MANUEVERS. AFTER WAITING AT THE LIGHT JUST OUTSIDE OF THE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR IN THE FORM OF MOVEMENT. THAT IS, THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO AS MUCH AS 5K RPMS, BUT NOT MOVE MORE THE .5-1MPH. THE USUAL CYCLING OF THE ENGINE OFF & THEN ON, WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT DESTINATION WAS NEARBY (1MI.) & DOWNHILL, SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST, IN NEUTRAL, TO THAT LOCATION WHILST BEING HONKED AT & NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD SAT AT THAT LOCATION FOR ~3HRS, THERE WERE NO OTHER PROBLEMS OF THE LIKE. VEHICLE ALSO LOOSES ACCELERATION WHILE ON HIGHWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS; USING THE REMOTE, USING THE KEY AND USING THE INTERIOR LOCKS. THE REMOTE DOES NOT LOCK NOR UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S NOR THE FRONT PASSENGER DOORS. THE KEY, WHICH CAN ONLY BE USED IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK, WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL DOORS EXCEPT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE INTERIOR LOCKING MECHANISM LOCATED ON THE DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK NOR LOCK THE FRONT DRIVER'S NOR THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. AT THIS TIME THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOORS IS TO REACH OVER AND USE THE INTERIOR HANDLE. ONCE THE FRONT DOORS ARE UNLOCKED THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THEM IS TO MANUALLY MOVE THE LOCKING SWITCH TO THE LOCKED POSITION. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE AFFECTED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF NISSAN MURANO'S THE INABILITY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE FRONT DOORS IS CRITICAL TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE'S OCCUPANTS. THE DRIVER CANNOT LOCK THE FRONT DOORS, WHICH IS PARAMOUNT WHEN A CHILD IS RIDING IN THE CAR. NOT LOCKING THE DOORS CAN BE CRITICAL IN THE EVENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT IS IN THE CAR AND THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO INSURE THAT ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED IS CRITICAL TO EVERYONE'S SAFETY. HAVING AN UNLOCKED DOOR OPEN IN A CRASH INCREASES THE PROBABILITY THAT AN OCCUPANT WILL BE EJECTED FROM A CAR THEREBY INCREASING INJURIES AND THE PROBABILITY OF DEATH; NOT KNOWING THAT ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED RESULTS IN UNNECESSARY RISK. *TR

WHILE ON A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE AT LEAST AFTER 10 SECONDS. THIS CAR IS OWNED BY MY WIFE, THANK GOD SHE WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS. I TOOK IT DO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE MURANOS' MOSTLY BETWEEN 2003-2005. THIS SHOULD BE A MUST RECALL AS THIS CAN BE A VERY DRASTIC SAFETY ISSUE AND FLAW DESIGN ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM MY FAMILY IS LOOKING BETWEEN $2400 TO $3000 ON REPAIRS. I AM NOT WORRY ABOUT THE COST OF THE REPAIR, MOST LIKELY I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW CAR BUT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE ARE A LOT OF MURANO OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, AND I HOPE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY FATALITIES DUE TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN OCCUR ON ANY MURANO BETWEEN 2003-2005 AS LOW AS 75,000 MILES. *TR

WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN A BIT THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO POWER ON STARTUP AT LIGHT. YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE REGAINING POWER. AFTER THIS IS HAPPENED THE TRANSMISSION LOOSES POWER AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS IS TRULY UNSAFE AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON A FREEWAY. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT, LEFT REAR SIDE OF SEATING AREA DROPPED ALONG WITH UPRIGHT BACK SUPPORT RECLINING BACKWARDS CREATING A MOST UNSTABLE SITUATION. INSPECTION REVEALED COMPLETE CLEAN BREAK OF ADJUSTING SUPPORT BRACKET. RESEARCH REVEALS THIS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MURANO VEHILCES 2003 THRU POSSIBLY 2008. NO KNOWN RECALLS THAT I AM AWARE OF. ESTIMATES FROM NISSAN DEALERS ARE REPORTED IN THE $1,200.00 RANGE FOR REPAIR. UNLESS THE FACTORY STEPS UP TO THE PLATE, I HAVE PURCHASED MY LAST NISSAN VEHICLE.............EVER....... *TR

WELL, I WAS DRIVING I75 WHEN MY CAR DID NOT RESPOND WHEN I PRESS MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGH WAY. I WAS SCARED, SOMETIMES IN A BUSY STREETS WOULD DO THE SAME THING. I WOULD PRESS AND FLOOR IT AND AFTER A SECOND WILL START REAL FAST. THIS SITUATIONS WERE HAPPENING VERY OFTEN. TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS. IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN. I CALLED HEADQUARTERS NISSAN AND THEY SIMPLY SAY. NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I PAID $3900 DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. READ ALL THE REPORTS. I AM VERY UPSET. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE
DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND I HAVE SPENT OVER A 1,000 JUST THIS MONTH ON TRYING TO FIX IT BUT THEY SAY IT IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM THAT THESE CAR HAVE. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING IS DONE BY NISSAN. I BELIEVE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE NISSAN TAKE CARE OF IT. I AM A MOTHER OF 3 AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR SO THAT IS RUNS GOOD. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT OF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AT THE SPEED OF 65 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES NOW AND SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW. TODAY WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE WE ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BIG RENTAL TRUCK, THANK GOD THE GENTLEMAN WAS ABLE TO MAKE A QUICK STOP AND WE DIDN'T GET HIT. PLEASE SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE CARS THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW IS THERE MANUFACTURES FAULT. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS KILLED??? *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK PROTECTOR 2004 MURANO: THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND A PLASTIC FUEL TANK PROTECTOR WAS ADDED. THIS REPAIR REDUCES THE GROUND CLEARANCE AND THE HAS BROKEN TWICE ON MY 2004 MURANO. ANY ROAD DEBRIS IS LIKELY TO HIT THIS LOW POINT ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD INSPECT THESE REGULARLY OR COME UP WITH A BETTER FIX. ONE CAN GUESS THAT THERE ARE VEHICLES THAT HAD THE PROTECTOR ADDED AND THAT PROTECTOR HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN BROKEN AND FALLEN OFF. I DID CALL 1-800-NISSAN1 TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE FAILED PROTECTOR AND THE COMPANY KINDLY AGREED TO MAKE THE REIMBURSEMENT. FURTHER, SANTA BARBARA NISSAN AGREED TO INSTALL THE PROTECTOR FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO A NEAR HIGHWAY WITH MY TWO CHILDREN, AND I HEARD A SMALL KNOCKING NOISE. I SLOWED DOWN TO A NEAR PARKING LOT, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ENGINE COVER THAT WAS LOOSE, BUT THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. WHEN I HAD IT TOWED, AFTER MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSFER CASE. NISSAN OFFERS A WARRANTY FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION (DUE TO KNOWN FAILURES WITH IT) THAT COVERS 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES, BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TRANSFER CASE (WHICH IS ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 03 04 MURANO MODELS). IT COST $3,178 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP (WHICH I HAD DONE). WHEN LOOKING FOR THIS PART THERE IS A VAST INCREASE IN PRICE BETWEEN THE 03 04 MODEL IN COMPARISON TO ANY OTHER MODEL, BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A HIGHER DEMAND FOR THIS PARTICULAR PART (WHICH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS). I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE SEALS FROM THE TRANSMISSION WERE LEAKING, HENCE WHY IT BROKE. THE PROBLEM IS, THAT I WAS AT THAT SAME DEALERSHIP NOT TOO LONG BEFORE DUE TO AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM, AND THEY GAVE ME A LIST OF PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH INCLUDED: THE BELT, THE BELT TENSIONER, ALTERNATOR, WHEEL BEARING, AND REAR BRAKES, BUT NEVER MENTIONED LEAKING SEALS ON THE TRANSFER CASE. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY FACTORS INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSFER CASE ON THESE TWO MODELS THAT WAS FIXED ON LATER MODELS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING VEHICLE. I ASKED NISSAN TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE OR GIVE ME SOME SORT OF SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AFTER THE LAST EXPERIENCE WITH IT, AND THEY DECLINED. HAD THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. ON TOP OF THAT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP RETURNED MY VEHICLE, AFTER A $3,178 FIX, WITH A CRACKED WINDSHIELD AND WILL NOT RESPOND FOR IT. UNBELIEVABLE. *TR

MAKING A TURN ONTO A CROSS STREET AND HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE, FOLLOWED BY THE DRIVER SEAT BECOMING UNSTABLE. WHEN THE TURN WAS COMPLETED, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THE DRIVER SEAT WAS BROKEN. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE MURANO, AND HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ACROSS MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS. APPEARS THAT THERE WAS EVEN AN ATTEMPT TO FORCE A RECALL, BUT THAT WAS NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN - REQUIRED A DETAILED SERVICE REPORT (~$125) BEFORE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING. FOUND THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX FOR ANY CAR OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY (AND THIS APPARENTLY USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED). TYPICAL DEALER COST TO REPAIR IS $800 TO $1200. CAN ALSO BE SELF-FIXED BY REPLACING A BRACKET ($100) OR WELDING THE BROKEN PIECE (~$80). TO ME, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE SEAT CAN BREAK AT ANY TIME WHEN THE METAL HAS FATIGUED. I FELT FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN AT A HIGHER SPEED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY SUV NEW IN 2004 I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL REQUIRED DEALER MAINTENANCE. LAST YEAR THE SUV BEGAN TO SEEK TO STALL OR IGNORE THE ACCELERATOR. IF I PRESSED THE GAS TO THE FLOOR THE SUV WOULD NOT MOVE, THEN SUDDENLY IT WOULD TAKE OFF. IT SEEMS TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RANDOMLY AND EVEN SEEMS TO STALL AS I MAKE LEFT TURNS ACROSS TRAFFIC LANES. TODAY WAS SCARY, I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK, BUT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER ISSUES ON LINE ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER NOTIFIED MOST OF US. LIKE TOYOTA WILL THERE HAVE TO BE FATALITIES IN ORDER FOR YOUR AGENCY TO FORCE A RECALL AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE? CLEARLY NISSAN KNEW THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS WERE FAULTY, ARE FAULTY. I DON,T EXPECT A RESPONSE BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. PROTECT US. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS ISSUE HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN WITH LOTS OF CURVES WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AS I STARTED TO HEAD INTO A CURVE ALL THE LIGHTS IN MY CENTER CONSOLE CAME ON AND THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. I QUICKLY PROCEEDED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WITH ONE HAND AND WITH THE OTHER ON THE STEERING WHEEL DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS I WAS GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE. I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN BUT THIS WAS IN MY OPINION VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE. SOME MONTHS LATER I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND MY MURANO WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO SEE IF I COULD FINED THE PROBLEM. FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 45 MIN. IT REGAINED THE ABILITY TO MOVE AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A CODE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ALL I KEEP HEARING FROM THEM IS TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE. AS I HAVE STATED BEFORE I FIND THIS ISSUE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS AND THAT IS WHY I SEND NISSAN AN EMAIL TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THEIR PRODUCT AND TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN RESIDENTIAL AREA, IT SOUNDED LIKE METAL WAS GRINDING THE VEHICLE FILLED WITH SMOKE, AND .COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AS IT WAS UNABLE TO FUNCTION. AS SOON AS THE MECHANIC TURNED ON THE CAR HE STATED IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE. FROM MY RESEARCH THE TRANSFER CASE IS CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS THE FRONT AND REAR AXLES BY MEANS OF DRIVE SHAFT.THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE, IF I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE CAR CRASH. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THE COST OF REPAIR WAS $3,800.00. THIS SIS RIDICULOUS. NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS PART. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE IN THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE.SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PART ITS VERY DANGEROUS. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID SHOULD RECEIVE A REFUND OR PARTIAL REFUND BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT IS IN FACT A SAFETY ISSUE. I JUST THANK GOD MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME.. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT BRACKET BROKE ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE SEAT NOW TILTS TO THE LEFT. WHEN DISCOVERED VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOT USED. ON THAT DAY I JUST SIT IN THE CAR AND SEAT TILTED TO THE LEFT. LOOKED UNDER NEAT THE SEAT AND SAW THAT THE MEAT BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SEAT BROKE IN TWO. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AS A DRIVER. I AM JUST GLAD THAT THE BRACKET DID NOT BREAK WHILE DRIVING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. READ SEVERAL FORUMS ON INTERNET WHERE PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. RECALL IS NEEDED. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT STAY IN THE UPWARD OR "NOT IN USE" POSITION. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL FALL DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING.. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A NEW VISOR AND HAD IT INSTALLED AT A RIDICULOUS COST OF OVER $200. THEY SAID THAT I COULD BUY A NEW ONE OR JUST USE VELCORO TO HOLD IT UP. THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL STILL FALL DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES BLOCKING MY VISION AND AT TIMES AT VERY CRUCIAL MOMENTS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT PRODUCT INSTALLED BY NISSAN. IN THE BEGINNING I TRIED TO GET NISSAN TO FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM HOPING TO GET A REFUND IF IT IS RECALLED. *TR
