Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, 2025-2026 Armada, and Infiniti QX80 vehicles. A software error may occur in the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system at vehicle startup, resulting in the rearview camera image not displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, Pathfinder, and INFINITI QX60 vehicles. One or both front brake caliper assemblies may have reduced strength and could break. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Murano vehicles. The incorrect primer may have been used on the quarter glass, resulting in the left and right quarter glass detaching from the vehicle.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, 2015-2016 Murano Hybrid, and 2014-2017 INFINITI QX60 Hybrid vehicles. The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) software may shut down the hybrid system and the engine under certain conditions, causing a loss of drive power.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Murano, INFINITI QX60, 2021 Nissan GT-R, INFINITI QX50, and Q50 vehicles. The front steering knuckle or rear axle housing may have insufficient strength due to improper heat-treatment.
While driving the emergency braking light comes on in the dash and my vehicle loses power

Severe moisture intrusion into the headlight assembly of my low-mileage (19,800 miles) 2019 Nissan Murano Platinum has caused an electrical and illumination failure, compromising critical forward night-visibility and creating an immediate roadway safety hazard.

On [XXX], at approximately [XXX]., I was involved in a low-speed, front-end collision while making a left turn from [XXX] onto [XXX]. I was following a Toyota Tacoma that stopped suddenly for a pedestrian near the crosswalk. I immediately applied what I believed was maximum emergency braking pressure to my brake pedal. The pedal felt firm, with apparently normal resistance, but I did not experience the deceleration or braking response I expected. Despite my braking effort, my Murano continued forward and struck the rear of the Tacoma. My VIOFO dashcam recorded the incident, including GPS-indicated vehicle speed and time. The displayed speed was approximately 14 mph at impact. I experienced no noticeable strong deceleration before the collision. I did not observe a forward-collision warning or automatic emergency braking intervention. I subsequently had the vehicle examined by a collision repair facility on [XXX] and Tony Nissan in Waipahu on [XXX]. Electronic scans did not identify braking-system fault codes. Tony Nissan performed an approximately 18-mile road test and reported that it could not reproduce the braking concern. Its inspection included checks for hydraulic leaks, brake-fluid level, and brake-booster vacuum leakage. The dealership also found the front brake pads worn to approximately 2 mm. Although the braking problem has not been reproduced or diagnosed, I remain concerned that an intermittent mechanical, hydraulic, or electronic braking malfunction may have occurred during the collision. The vehicle previously received a replacement ABS actuator and electronic control unit under Nissan campaign R1809 in February 2019. I have opened a case with Nissan Consumer Affairs, Case No. [XXX]. Nissan has instructed me not to repair or alter the vehicle pending further contact. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Component Affected: SUSPENSION: FRONT: CONTROL ARM: LOWER ARM Description of Defect: My 2020 Nissan Murano experienced a severe front suspension failure matching the exact structural symptoms described in Nissan Recall Campaign PC797 (NHTSA Campaign Number 21V170000) for defective front transverse links/lower control arms. The vehicle exhibited a loud popping and clunking noise coming from the front end, occurring primarily when applying the brakes and coming to a stop as the vehicle’s weight shifted forward. A professional diagnosis confirmed a failing front lower control arm and ball joint, creating a structural failure and an immediate risk of component separation, which threatens a total loss of steering control. This safety defect first manifested as a persistent noise last year while the vehicle was still well under the 84,000-mile mark when I took it in to have my transmission fluid changed. However, I thought it pertained to my front brakes and the repair man said when he drove it, he didn't hear the noise. But I continued to hear the noise when I braked in the front area. So, when I recently checked my 17-digit VIN on the official recall portal, after the inspection of my vehicle during an oil change, is when I was told about the front suspension. My vehicle shows "0 Open Recalls." Nissan Corporate Consumer Affairs refused to offer assistance or a goodwill repair due to the current mileage (99,488 miles), stating my VIN was excluded from the campaign. Because my vehicle is experiencing the exact structural defect, manufacturing flaw, and safety risk outlined in Campaign PC797, I am filing this complaint to urge the NHTSA to investigate and mandate an expansion of the recall footprint to include excluded VIN blocks. I have paid $680 out-of-pocket to Torrance Motors to replace the defective control arm and perform a mandatory wheel alignment to keep the vehicle road-safe. I retain all itemized repair receipts for future reimbursement verification.

On October 14, 2026, while driving my 2025 Nissan Murano, the engine suddenly began making an extremely loud, sustained sound as though it was revving at very high RPM. I completely released the accelerator and applied the brakes, but the loud revving continued while the vehicle slowed. I remained able to brake and reduce speed; the vehicle did not accelerate uncontrollably. I safely pulled over, switched off the engine, and restarted it. The abnormal behavior then disappeared. I did not record the actual RPM. Two yellow dashboard indicators appeared during the incident, but I could not identify them with certainty. The Check Engine light did not illuminate. Several milder episodes of unusual engine revving had occurred previously during normal driving. The unpredictable behavior raised concern about a possible engine or transmission malfunction while driving. The specific failed component and cause are unknown. On October 19, 2026, Lorenzo Nissan Fort Lauderdale inspected the vehicle under repair order 300406. Mileage was 10,951 at intake and 10,960 after testing. The technician reported a nine-mile road test, no abnormal RPM flare, normal transmission operation, and no diagnostic trouble codes. The reported condition was not reproduced, and its cause remains unidentified. The repair order summarizes revving during acceleration but omits that it continued after releasing the accelerator and while braking, and disappeared after restarting. I had provided these details in writing to the service director. I have also submitted an inquiry to Nissan Consumer Affairs and am awaiting a response. Service records and correspondence are available.
