UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I've only had the car 3 months and an error code for the forward collision worning light is on. The dealership said it should go off. It never did. It is malfunctioning and it automatically and without notice applied the emergency brake system when it's not needed. It gave me sort of whiplash. It does this often out of no where. This could cause a severe accident.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The forward collision warning is stuck on saying malfunction. Sometimes the car brakes without warning, activating the automatic emergency braking and stopping suddenly. This is dangerous.

POWER TRAIN
It has happened twice since we purchased our Murano 8 months ago. When pulling onto a divided highway you have to slow down then you accelerate to get into the lane....the transmission hesitates around 2 or 3 seconds then grabs the gear and you take off. This is very worrysome for us, both being retired and it could cause an accident.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving down interstate the car's automatic collision breaking system activated and brought the car to an immediate stop. While breaking the information screen in the steering wheel area flashed red with an explanation point symbol but as soon as the breaking was done it went away and no other lights appeared on the dash indicating an issue. There was nothing that should have triggered the automatic collision braking system to have engaged. Had someone been directly behind me this could have easily caused an accident by them slamming into the back of my car as nothing would have caused them to expect sudden breaking by me. The unexpected sudden breaking happened twice within a 10 minute window while driving on interstate. I have driven it minimally since so I could have it looked at by the dealer to review the issue as it is under warranty and I felt it unsafe to drive. The car has been inspected by a Nissan dealer and they are unable to reproduce the issue and are not taking any repair action at this time.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
This is a 2020 Nissan Murano S. The vehicle has been well maintained and taken to the dealership for maintenance periodically. I usually take my vehicle to either Antwerpen Nissan Clarksville or Antwerpen Nissan Security. I took my vehicle to Antwerpen Nissan Security for a transmission flush and change. Shortly after that service I started to notice an oil smell coming into the cabin. I took it back to them twice and they did not see any leakage or anything to cause the smell. I later took my car to Antwerpen Clarksville. They didn't notice the smell but said I needed to replace both front lower control arms for $1655.88. Front lower control arms splitting, dry rotting. This car was purchased brand new and only had 62K miles. This appears to be premature wear and of course the warranty as passed, which would have been 5 years or 60,000 miles. Out of all the visits I had, no one seen this premature wear on the control arm until this visit. This doesn't happen overnight, and I think Nissan should cover this. My vehicle was seen at Antwerpen Nissan at 56k and inspected and the dealer never mentioned this issue.

Vehicle routinely triggers the automatic emergency braking system when approaching a certain overpass. Speeds are usually around 40 to 50 MPH. Occasionally triggers at other locations where no obstacle should be triggering it. Local Nissan dealer has inspected the system several times, including sending to a specialist, and found no defect.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Yesterday, my wife and I were on I94 eastbound in heavy afternoon traffic, in the left of three lanes, and crossed from Minnesota into Wisconsin. The car was on interactive cruise control. The freeway entry to Wisconsin is a long, uphill grade and I needed to get out of the left lane in preparation to exit about 3 miles ahead. I turned off the interactive cruise control and pressed the accelerator in order to safely merge into the faster moving center lane. I instantly lost control of the engine. Not only did the engine not respond to pressing the accelerator, it actually bogged down and slowed. Having effectively lost power because I had no control over the engine, I tried to shelter on the left shoulder but is was not wide enough to get the car out of the left lane. Worse, the narrow shoulder between the left lane and the concrete barrier wall was full of debris, and I immediately had a terrible fear of puncturing a tire in which case I would really be in trouble. The car came to a stop and I still had no control over the engine, sitting there with high speed traffic swerving around us. I put the transmission in neutral and it still didn’t respond to the throttle, and the same with park. Finally, I stopped the engine and restarted, and I then had control of the car. When a gap in traffic came, I got back on the freeway and continued home with no further incident. I could easily have been hit by a high speed vehicle, or caused a severe accident involving others due to vehicles unexpectedly finding us stopped, and still partially in the left lane. The car will go to the dealer next week. I was so terrified that I do not know if there were warning lights lit on the dash, but I didn't see any.

On Feb 26, 2022; my wife and I were driving down a Hwy in SW Georgia at approximately 60 mph and our 2020 Nissan Murano Sunroof literally exploded. The roof was fully closed at the time and the sun shade was also closed. It was like a shot gun blast. Was a good thing I was driving, had my wife been driving I suspect she would have reacted in a manner that would have wrecked us. We were both shook up. Hearing wind blowing into car, I slightly opened the sun shade and could tell the center portion of the sun roof had blown out and shivers of glass came down onto us, I closed the shade and pulled over at next available opportunity. At the time the sun roof exploded, there were no other vehicles within approx 1/4 mile in front of us, we had not just passed any vehicle, there were no overpasses, and nothing we recall to have hit the roof. At the time, We were traveling out of our home town, a significant way from home; as soon as I stopped, I took Photos of the roof from the exterior above the shattered sunroof with the center section blown out. I was able to purchase a heavy duct tape and tapped the shattered sunroof from the top, with several layers of tap to secure the remaining shattered glass/sun roof. We were able to travel on home. I immediately contacted the dealership (Greenway Nissan Brunswick Ga) were we had purchased the 2020 Nissan Murano vehicle and explained what happened. I was told they had never heard of that happening. We had purchased the Platnum Extended warranty with our New Murano. I scheduled an appointment and took my vehicle to the Greenway dealership on Mar 8, 2022; and the sun roof was replaced under warranted, and my vehicle was returned to me on Mar 10, 2022 with a new Sun Roof (ref: Greenway Invoice 48890). The sun shade had a scratch approximately 18”, but was not replaced because the adjuster could not determine it was caused by the roof explosion, which I don’t see how it could not have been.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
WE'VE HAD THE VEHICLE OVER A YEAR AND HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET USED TO THE FORWARD AND BACKWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE EMERGENCY BRAKING, AS IT SEEMS TO ACTIVATE FOR NO REASON AT ALL. MULTIPLE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE, THE PRIMARY DRIVER. SHE'S TOO ANXIOUS TO DRIVE IT ON DAYS WITH INCLEMENT WEATHER WHEN IT'S THE WORST. WE HAVE THE CAR BEING EVALUATED BY THE DEALER, IF THEY CAN'T REPAIR OR DISABLE, SENSORS AND AUTO BRAKING THEN I'M GOING TO GET THEM TO BUY IT BACK FROM ME.

I-95 NISSAN, a Dealership in Riviera Beach Florida received a stop sale order on this car on March 10, 2021. I went to the Dealership on 4/13/2021 to get the oil changed and tires rotated on my 2015 Nissan Murano Platinum. My existing vehicle was in perfect mechanical condition, and while I was awaiting the completion of my oil change, a Sales Person came up and began to chat with me, and told me I needed to buy a new car, and said my car would be junk in no time, and I needed to get rid of it before it was literally worth nothing. This Man did not relent all day long. I finally caved and bought the 2020 Murano against my better judgement, and I had no idea it had a recall issued on it, but they did! About 2 months later, I get a call from the Dealership inviting me in for a free oil change and Tire rotation on the new purchase. I declined, because I was ultimately not satisfied with the Salespersons behavior post-purchase. He continued to text me and ask me out to dinner, dancing, etc. until I finally blocked his phone number. So, I had no intention on getting anything further from THAT Nissan Dealership. The Person on the phone mentioned that they really needed to get the car in there because they really should not have sold it to me with an open recall, and they needed to get that fixed. I still declined, and did some research, only to find that it's a pretty major SAFETY recall, that could affect the steering loss. I also discovered that Federal Law 49 U.S. Code § 30116 – Defects and noncompliance found before sale to purchaser, prohibits the sale of a new vehicle with an open safety recall!!! I contacted Nissan, and they opened case# 45574832, about the sales experience, but stated the Dealership is independent of them, and I would need to remedy the situation directly with them. I attempted to do so numerous times, to no avail. They have continually publicly denying my requests, blocking my reviews about the Dealership and I am now at this point.

POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
While parallel parking, we backed into the space and when we put the car into Drive, it lurched forward at an incredible speed. We hit and pushed the car parked in front of us, hopped up onto the sidewalk, knocked down a street light, and moved a huge concrete planter. The airbags over the windshield and under the dashboard deployed. The bags under the dash exploded with such force that they injured my husband's legs, and he has been seeing a wound doctor for the past five weeks. The car was towed to a repair shop. I reported the incident to Nissan NA; they sent a representative to retrieve information from the EDR. Nissan has advised that no mechanical problems were recorded but we are absolutely certain the car malfunctioned. We think it might have been a problem with the CVT.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I HAVE A 2020 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAD 3 OCCURRENCES IN A 48 HOUR PERIOD WHERE THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP IMMEDIATELY WITH NO WARNING OR OBSTRUCTION IN THE ROAD. THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR ON A CITY STREET. MY CAR WENT FROM 30 TO 0 WITH NO WARNING. THE MOTOR DIDN'T STALL OUT, THE CAR WAS STILL IDLING BUT THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON THE ROAD. I WAS NOT BRAKING AT THE TIME. I'M THANKFUL NO VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING BEHIND ME AT THE TIME. THE NEXT 2 OCCURRENCES HAPPENED WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. AGAIN THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WAY TO OBSTRUCT THE VEHICLE FROM BACKING OUT. NO MAINTENANCE LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS SHOWED UP. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE COMPUTER DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING WAS IN NEED OF REPAIR. I TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO MAINTENANCE OR WARNING LIGHT THAT SHOWED ON ANY OF THE 3 OCCURRENCES.
