ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO IS IN THE SHOP HAVE TO THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE FIRST TIME TIME IT WENT OUT WAS IN SEPT-04. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER CAME AND TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPLACED IT. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ONE MONTH AGO ON MY WAY TO CALIFORNIA FROM UTAH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY. IT COST OVER$500.00FOR PARTS AND LABOR PLUS THE COST OF THE TOW. THREE DAYS AGO IT WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE TOW AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT OUT OF TOWN. I JUST READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL THANKS TO YOUR ORGANIZATION. I HOPE THE DELERSHIP WILL BE ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM W/O THE RECALL LETTER. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE A REFUND.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER TO ACCELERATE/KEEP UP WITH 65 MPH TRAFFIC ON I-50 EAST HIGHWAY. NEED TO CRAWL BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND DRIVE UNDER 40 MPH SPEED, VERY DANGEROUS! EVERY CARS BEHIND ME LITERALLY NEED TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN THE TRAFFIC ON THE LEFT LANE. DEALER'S DIAGNOSTIC WAS: THE INFAMOUS ALTERNATOR FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE MODEL.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON VACATION, SOME DEBRIS FROM A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF OUR CAR FELL OFF AND WE DROVE OVER IT. WHEN WE STOPPED A FEW MILES DOWN THE RODE WE SMELLED GASOLINE AS SOON AS WE OPENED THE CAR DOOR. WHEN MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, HE SAW THE THERE WERE SEVERAL PUNCTURES IN THE GAS TANK. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME TO CONTAIN THE GASOLINE, AND THEN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS STILL AT A DEALERSHIP WAITING ON A NEW GAS TANK TO BE SHIPPED (EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE IS 1 MONTH FROM THE ORDER DATE). I'VE KNOWN OTHER CARS TO RUN OVER DEBRIS AND NOT HAVE THE GAS TANK PUNCTURED. IT SEEMS THAT THE GAS TANK IS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS SORT OF PROBLEM. I'VE READ OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
THE BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON IN MY MURANO, BUT THE CAR APPEARED TO STILL BE DRIVING AND STARTING JUST FINE, SO I ASSUMED IT WAS MERELY A SHORT AND DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT SERVICE. 2 DAYS LATER, THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT RESPOND AND EVENTUALLY STALLED, DESPITE BEING ABLE TO TURN OVER AGAIN AFTER STOPPING. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THA THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG MURANO OWNERS RELATED TO ALTERNATORS.

THE DASH BECAME DIM AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY GAS STATION. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND IS NOW AT A DEALER WAITING TO BE SERVICED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS 2003, NISSAN MURANO HAD JUST COMPLETED THE 30,000 MILE CHECK UP 6 DAYS BEFORE. SUDDENLY, THE CAR POWER STEERING FAILED, THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WENT HAYWIRE AND THE CAR SEIZED UP. I WAS FORCED TO SLOWLY SLIDE OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY, WHERE I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
ON JULY 2, 2005 WARNING LIGHTS COME ON (BRAKE AND ALTERNATOR). SINCE IT WAS BEFORE A LONG WEEKEND (JULY 4) WE COULDN'T DO TOO MUCH UNTIL JULY 5. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DELIVER VEHICLE TO ANY DEALER, SO WE WERE FORCED TO PUT IT IN A LOCAL GARAGE. ALTERNATOR FAILED AND BATTERY WAS DEAD AFTER 24,000 MILES AND 17 MONTHS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC, REIMBURSMENT FOR OUR EXPENSES ARE UNDER DISPUTE WITH NISSAN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
AS I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE, I NOTICED THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO. BECAUSE I HAVE READ ON NISSANMURANO.ORG THAT IS AN INDICATION OF A FAILING ALTERNATOR AND THAT AFTER SEEING THE WARNING LIGHTS MY MURANO WOULD SOON BECOME TOTALLY DISABLED, I CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED IN FOR A NEW ALTERNATOR. ALTHOUGH IN MY CASE I WAS IN MY GARAGE, THE ALTERNATOR IS A KNOWN ISSSUE ON MURANOS, AND IF THE VEHICLE STOPS ON THE HIGHWAY, THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SOME MURANOS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE A FAILURE OF THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR, SO I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED YET, AND I FEAR I MAY STILL BE AT RISK.

NISSAN MURANO - ALTERNATOR FAILURE CAUSING VEHICLE TO BECOME SUDDENLY INOPERABLE. (NOTE - I WAS AWARE THAT THE COMBINATION OF "BRAKE" AND "BATTERY" WARNING LIGHTS INDICATED THE FAILURE, SO TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER BEFORE IT HAD A CHANCE TO DIE ON THE ROAD.)

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD MY MURANO 1 YEAR AND HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. IT IS A 2003 AND HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT. WE WERE ON VACATION ABOUT 350 MILES FROM HOME AND I NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE TRANSMISSION ACTING UP. IT JUST CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. I WOULD STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND DEPRESS THE ACCELATOR AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN UNTIL ABOUT 1 MINUTE LATER. LUCKILY WE MADE IT IN TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND GOT WITH NISSAN TECH SUPPORT. THEY VERIFIED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WITH A NEW ONE. THANK GOODNESS IT IS UNDER WARRANTY! THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP RENTED ME A CAR TO GET BACK HOME FROM VACATION AND WE WILL HAVE TO DRIVE 350 MILES BACK TO PICK UP MY MURANO IN ABOUT 3 TO 4 DAYS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN MY STREET, MY 2004 MURANO (ONLY 7,000 MILES) LOST ACCELERATION AND I COULD NOT GET DOWN THE STREET. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED. I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY WHERE IT STALLED FOR GOOD. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR. IT WAS ALL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF COURSE, BUT I THINK THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO OTHER DRIVERS OF MURANO'S.
