POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 NISSAN MURANO. AFTER 1.5 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, STOPPED CAR AT STOP LIGHT. WHEN ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED, CAR WAS UNRESPONSIVE FOR 5 SECONDS, THEN LURCHED FORWARD. MOMENTS LATER, ACCELERATOR COULD BE DEPRESSED TO FLOOR (IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION) WITH UNRESPONSIVE RPM AND ACCELERATION. ONCE CAR SHUT OFF, CAR OPERATED FINE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR REMAINDER OF TRIP. WITHIN A WEEK, WHILE ON VACATION OUT-OF-STATE, SAME PROBLEMS OCCURS AGAIN. MURANO IS UNRESPONSIVE ONCE AUTO IS SLOWED FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY. ABLE TO GET AUTO OFF HIGHWAY ALTHOUGH ONCE CLEAR OF THE HIGHWAY, AUTO WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP LIGHT. CAR REMAINS UNRESPONSIVE UNTIL SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. ONCE RUNNING, CAR SEEMS TO CHUG AND LURCH AT ALL SPEEDS. MURANO WAS IMMEDIATELY SERVICED (THE FOLLOWING DAY) AT FAULKNER NISSAN IN HARRISBURG, PA WHILE ON VACATION AND DIAGNOSED WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. REPLACED AT COST OF $1800+. ON RETURN TRIP TO HOME (NEWPORT, RI), VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE FINE UNTIL DECELERATING FOR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. ONCE THAT OCCURS, IT EXPERIENCES COUNTLESS TRANSMISSION SURGES AND SHAKES AT ALL SPEEDS. FROM STANDSTILL, CAR IS UNRESPONSIVE AND OFTEN STUTTERS AND SHAKES. ON RETURN TO HOME DEALERSHIP (JUST ONE WEEK AFTER FIRST SERVICE), DEALER (BARRY NISSAN, NEWPORT, RI), REPLACES TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT ($1300+) YET STILL IS UNSURE IF THAT IS THE FIX. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS YET TO RETURN MY CALL DESPITE MY INITIAL COMPLAINT AND MULTIPLE EFFORTS TO CONTACT THEM AGAIN. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I NOTICED THE RPM REV UNCONTROLLABLY BETWEEN 2 AND 3K WHILE DRIVING AND DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AS NO LIGHTS HAD COME ON WITH THE VEHICLE. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT ON HOT DAYS AND DAYS WHEN I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WOULD RESPOND EXTREMELY SLOW AND THEN 10-15 SECONDS LATER WOULD REV UP ALMOST TO 4K RPM ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I GET STUCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC .. THE CAR AGAIN BEGINS TO RESPOND SUPER SLOWLY 10-20 SECONDS. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. MY CAR SITS.. AND SITS.. AND THEN TAKES OFF AT 60MPH AT A STOPPED TURN RIGHT AND I ALMOST HIT A CAR. I'VE CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE NISSAN IN MY AREA AND THEY CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE STATED AND THAT THEY NEED TO KEEP MY VEHICLE FOR A DAY TO DUPLICATE WHAT'S GOING ON. AFTER READING ALL OF THE POST BY OTHER OWNERS THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH SOMETHING IN THE CARS TRANSMISSION. IF I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT $6000 BECAUSE OF A $5 SENSOR THAT TO ME SEEMS LIKE A CROCK. I THINK THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE YOU CAN GUARANTEE THE OWNERS THAT OWN THESE SLOW RESPONDING CARS WILL SELL THEM OR TRADE THEM IN AND ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING OWNER ON A HOT AND STOP AND GO TRAFFIC DAY WONT KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEIR BRAND NEW USED 10 POINT INSPECTED VEHICLE. I THINK THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS OR THEIR WILL BE LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO THIS DESIGN FLAW. RIGHT NOW I HAVE NOT HAD MY FAILING PARTS FIXED BECAUSE I WILL NOT PAY THE $6,000 TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION. I WILL PROBABLY END UP TRADING THE CAR IN AND USING THE $6,000 TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR RECALL FAILURE. MC THE CONSUMER STATED UPON CONTACTING THE DEALER TO SEE IF THE WARRANTY COVERED THE MECHANICAL FAILURE, SHE WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SHE WAS ENCOUNTERING WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 05 BUT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BACK IN MAY OF 05, SO THAT MIGHT BE WHY THE CONSUMER WAS NOT INFORMED. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER IS SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR DUE TO THE RECALL PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED A COPY OF THE INVOICE AND WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
NISSAN MURANO 2003 SERVICE ENGINE CHECK LIGHTCAME ON AND VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN ON THE FREEWAY AND I HAD TO FIND A SHOULDER AFTER AN OVERPASS BRIDGE TO PULL OVER FOR MY SAFE AND FOR MY 2 TOODLERS CHILDREN. I CHECK THE RECALL ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS AND IT WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2003 THAT I DID NOT RECIEVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL. I CALL A CAR DEALER AND DENYING ME FOR THE RECALL. I CALL THE CONSUMER AFFAIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND 7/2/2007 AND CASE IS PENDING. I FEEL SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE SINCE 2003 THIS VEHICLE HAS FIVE RECALLS SUCH AS GAS TANK, SET BELT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, TRANSMISSION NUT NOT TIGHTEN ENOUGH AND ALTERNATOR.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
THIS IS A COPY OF THE TEXT I SENT NISSAN. TO: INTERESTED PARTIES NISSAN USA REFERENCE # 5652837. I NOW OWN A 2003 MURANO VIN 3 J. I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT I AM NOT RESOLVED ON AND DETAILS ARE AS FOLLOWS: I AM A RESERVE NAVY OFFICER NOW DEPLOYED TO IRAQ, WHICH MAKES THIS ENTIRE EVOLUTION A BIT DIFFICULT. MY SON CHRIS WILSON AGE 22 WAS DRIVING THE MURANO ON MARCH 14, 2007 NEAR HIS COLLEGE IN CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA WHEN WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THEN EXPERIENCED AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN. HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF ACTIVE TRAFFIC SAFELY WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKE ASSIST. WITNESSES TO THE EVENT CLAIMED HE WAS LUCKY AND SKILLED TO MANEUVER OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ENDANGERING HIMSELF AND OTHERS IN TRAFFIC. WE THEN SEARCHED FOR LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO CONTACTED THEM AND ARRANGED FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE TOWED THERE. AFTER AN ANALYSIS AND THE PART NUMBER OF A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE TCM. I WENT TO THE NISSAN USA WEB SITE AND RESEARCHED RECALLS THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR 2003 MURANOS. I WAS VERY INTERESTED TO FIND ONE FOR VIN NUMBERSJN8AZ08T*3W 100007-100032,JN8AZ08W* 200005-200071. I REALIZE THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ONE OF THESE AND THE NICE FOLKS AT THE CALL CENTER AND THE SERVICE FOLKS AT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS THERE IS A VIN MATCH. THE RECALL QUOTES: ''ON SOME 2003 MURANOS THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT STOP RUNNING WHILE BEING DRIVEN IF THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR FAILS. THIS MAY ALSO RESULT IN THE ''SERVICE ENGINE SOON'' LIGHT COMING ON OR REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT IS THE SAME RESULT AS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I AM A PROFESSIONAL MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND I FEEL ETHICALLY SOUND IN MAKING THE REQUEST AND MAINTAINING AN UNRESOLVED POSITION ON THIS MATTER. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
2003 NISSAN MURANO. DAMAGE TO GAS TANK SHIELD INSTALLED BY MFG RECALL. RAN OVER SMALL PIECE OF RUBBER ON THE HIGHWAY & IT TORN THE SHIELD LOOSE FROM THE FRAME OF THE CAR. NEW CARS COME WITH METAL MOLDED SHIELDS MOUNTED TO THE GAS TANK. THE PLASTIC SHIELDS WHICH NISSAN IS INSTALLING ARE NOT STURDY ENOUGH TO PROVIDE THE PROPER PROTECTION TO THE GAS TANK. CARS WHICH HAVE HAD THESE PLASTIC SHIELDS INSTALLED SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE THE MOLDED METAL SHIELDS INSTALLED

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION DELAY OF 3-5 SECONDS FROM A STOP. ONCE THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED AND NOTHING HAPPENS AFTER THE DELAY COMES A SURGE OF SPEED. NO CODES ARE THROWN AND DEALER CANNOT RECREATE PROBLEM. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT OR AT AN INTERSECTION! THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE I GOT THE CAR AT 30000 MILES. I CAN TURN OFF THE CAR AND IT SOMETIMES "RESETS" THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER BULLETIN BOARDS REPORT THIS TO BE A TPS FAILURE THAT CAN BE FOUND IN ALL YEARS OF THE MURANO PRODUCTION. *JB

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
MY VEHICLE IS ALL WHEEL DRIVE. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE I WAS ADVISED THE TRANSFER CASE WAS LOCKED IN ALL WHEEL DRIVE. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT TO ADVISE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES THE CAR WAS DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION. IT SO HAPPENS THAT I HAD RECENTLY PASSED MY WARRANTY PERIOD AND HAD TO PAY A VERY LARGE AMOUNT TO REPAIR IT. IF A WARNING LIGHT HAD GONE ON I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THIS SOONER UNDER WARRANTY. PLUS, I HAD RECENTLY RETURNED FROM A LONG TWO WEEK DRIVE IN HOT DESERT COUNTRY. I WOULD IMAGINE IT WAS NOT WISE OR SAFE TO BE IN ALL WHEEL DRIVE UNDER HOT ROAD DRIVING CONDITIONS. I ASKED THE MANUFACTURER TO INFORM ME HOW OFTEN THEIR VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. I DID ASK MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME AT LEAST ONE OTHER VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LOCALLY. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN MURANO WITH 47K MILES. THE BELT TENSIONER BRACKET (ALSO CALLED IDLER PULLEY BRACKET) BROKE. WHEN THE BRACKET FAILED, IT CUT ONE OF THE COOLANT HOSES AND DAMAGED THE SERPENTINE BELT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE / FAILURE TO THE ENGINE. ALL SERVICE TO MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DONE BY AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALERS ONLY. I BELIEVE THE FAILURE OF THIS BRACKET WAS DUE TO IMPROPER DESIGN / MANUFACTURE. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED BY MURANO OWNERS ON WWW.FRESHALLOY.COM AND WWW.NISSANMURANO.ORG. NISSAN REFUSED TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAILED PART UNDER THEIR ENGINE / POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2003 NISSAN MURANO, THAT IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. ON THE 26TH OF NOVEMBER 2006, THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED AND STOPPED OPERATING, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD, $35,000 DOLLAR VEHICLE, WHICH MAY AS WELL BE A PAPERWEIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, AWAITING REPAIRS. I TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AS IF IT WERE MY OWN CHILD. I ENSURE THAT THE OIL IS REPLACED EVERY 3,000 MILES RELIGIOUSLY,AND I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR ROUTINE SCHEDULED SERVICES. TO SUSTAIN A NISSAN MURANO IS NOT A CHEAP TASK. THE LAST SCHEDULED SERVICE WAS A 60,000 MILE MAINTENANCE AND IT COST ME WELL OVER $500 DOLLARS. I ENSURE THAT THE MAINTENANCE IS BEING COMPLETED, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF ROUTINE SERVICES. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS NISSAN MURANO, I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD GIVE ME SO MANY HEADACHES. I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERS FOR UNSCHEDULED WARRANTY REPAIR AT LEAST 5 TIMES A YEAR, SINCE I PURCHASED IT. SOME OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THE SUV ARE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON, UNEXPLAINED VEHICLE VIBRATIONS WHEN DRIVING, CAR SEIZING IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD, BAD BRAKES, ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE EXCHANGED, BATTERY WENT BAD, AND MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT FALL INTO GEAR. I CALLED THE NISSAN CONSUMER TOLL FREE NUMBER AND THE NISSAN CORPORATION IS ASKING ME TO CONSOLIDATE THE RECORDS OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED ON THE CAR, AND FAX IT TO THEM. IT SEEMS THAT CONVENIENTLY ENOUGH, NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE RECORDS OF ANY MAINTENANCE THAT WAS PERFORMED AT AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALERS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS INFORMATION HAD TO BE FAXED FIRST, BEFORE A DECISION CAN BE MADE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD PREVIOUS DIFFICULTIES COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND HAD CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION WHEN THE CURRENT INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE ONLY DECISION I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IS, IF THE NISSAN CORPORATION IS GOING TO GRANT MY REQUEST TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION AT NO COST. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
FUEL DOOR ON MY 2003 MURANO LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT BE OPENED WITH DIRECTIONS IN OWNERS MANUAL. TOOK TO DEALER AND DEALER DETERMINED PROBLEM WAS LIKELY IN THE COMPUTER MODULE BEHIND THE DASH. IT WAS GOING TO BE $250 IN LABOR, THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE OF $90, AND POSSIBLY A $300 PARTS CHARGE TO FIX. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO DISABLE THE LOCKING MECHANISM, AT A COST OF $135. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
EXPERIENCED CLICKING SOUND AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING IN MOUNTAINOUS AREA. 2003 MURANO WAS COMPLETELY DISABLED WITH WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE COMPLETE FAILURE OF CVT TRANSMISSION IN NISSAN DEALER MAINTAINED VEHICLE WITH 77,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. AT THIS POINT, NISSAN HAS OFFERED NO GOODWILL HELP IN REPLACING $5000 CVT TRANSMISSION,CITING OUTSIDE OF 60,000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. RELIABILITY OF CVT TECHNOLOGY IN 2003 MODEL IS QUESTIONABLE , IF COMPLETE FAILURE ON CVT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AT 77,000 MILES. WITH EXCEPTION OF REPLACING TWO RADIATORS AND THIS CVT FAILURE, I HAVE HAD BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH VEHICLE. *NM
