ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NISSAN'S RECALL ON THE 2005 MURANO STATES THAT THE VEHICLE FALLS INTO A "FAILSAFE" CONDITION WHICH LIMITS VEHICLE SPEED. VERY SHORTLY AFTER THIS, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING...COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. MY VEHICLE HAD DONE THAT 4 TIMES. TWO TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. YOU HAVE ABOUT A MINUTE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPS. IN THAT MINUTE, THE VEHICLE IS RAPIDLY DECELERATES TO A CRAWL. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A TOYOTA SEQUOIA. DOMINION NISSAN "FIXED" MY VEHICLE AND ASSURED ME IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. A FEW MONTH LATER, AS I NEARED MY HOME, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED PURSUANT TO THE RECALL NOTICE. ON JANUARY 11, 2008 I LEFT WORK AND HEADED FOR THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 50MPH TO A CRAWL WITHIN ABOUT A MINUTE. DANGEROUSLY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL MOMENT LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, IN RUSH HOUR, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. I COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN KILLED IN SUCH A CIRCUMSTANCE. NISSAN "FIXED" THE CAR AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON JANUARY 19, 2008. THEY WANT TO "FIX" IT AGAIN. I SAID THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE VEHICLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT ON JAN 21 BY PHONE, JAN 27 BY EMAIL AND JAN 28 BY LETTER. NISSAN AND THE DEALER HAVE NOT RESPONDED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH 56,735 MILES BEGAN MAKING A NOISE AT ACCELERATION. BROUGHT CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A NEW PULLEY ASM AND BRACKET-ID WAS NEEDED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRACKET FAILED CAUSING THE PULLEY ASM TO GO BAD. WHILE REPLACING THE PULLEY AND BRACKET, I REQUESTED THE FAN BELT BE CHANGED. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE BRACKET AND PULLEY FAILED SO SOON ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. *TR

SEATS
THE IRON BRACKET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SEAT IF BROKEN. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE (NISSAN MURANO 2005) SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE THAT JUST 2 YEARS OF USE. I HAVE FURTHER PROOF WHERE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO HAD PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED I DIDN'T HAVE IT, AND IT IS NOT COVERED. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I HAVE CONTACT AN ATTORNEY FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PUT ON THE GAS. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC TODAY AND ALMOST GOT CLOBBERED BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE MY CAR WAS STALLING AND HESITATING 5 TO 10 SECONDS AT AT TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. I AM PARKING THE CAR UNTIL I CAN TRADE IT IN. I AM 1000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT FOR LESS THAN 6,000 DOLLARS! RIDICULOUS! *TR

I HEARD ABOUT THE BREAKING OF THE DRIVER SEAT, IT JUST HAPPENED TO ME ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. FIRST THE SEAT WOULD BE LOSE LIKE EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT FOR SOME TIME, THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK. *TR I AM ABOUT 250 PONDS AND THAT DOSE NOT SEAM TO BE EXCESSIVE ENOUGH TO BREAK THE BACK BOTTOM CROSS BAR UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. (I'M SURE THIS IS A EXPENSIVE REPAIR) THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS UNSUSPECTING OF THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR READING.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE, WHICH STARTLED ME AND CAUSED ME AND THE SEAT TO LEAN BACK AND TO THE LEFT. THE SEAT SEEMS TO BE ANCHORED ON THE RIGHT, BUT IS LOOSE ON THE BACK LEFT, SO IT NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH - ESPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING. I READ ONLINE OF MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS BUT THERE DOES NOT YET SEEM TO BE A RECALL. THERE IS, HOWEVER, A NISSAN TSB OUT ON THIS SUBJECT, #05-043C. *CN

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE FIRST TIME IT THE ENGINE FAILED WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I STARTED THE CAR AND IT SHUTTERED A LITTLE, THEN STOPPED. I RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER WAITING A FEW SECONDS AND IT KEPT RUNNING JUST FINE. ON MY WAY HOME, I STOPPED OFF AT A LOCAL STORE TO RUN AN ERRAND. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AGAIN, IT SHUTTERED AND SHOOK, THEN SHUT OFF. I ATTEMPTED A SECOND TIME TO START THE CAR, BUT IT WOULDN'T "TURN OVER". THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BROWNS NISSAN OF ARLINGTON IN VIRGINIA, WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR STARTED EITHER, PROCEEDED TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE, AND THEN MIRACULOUSLY, IT STARTED UP AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG! THIS MORNING, MY HUSBAND WENT TO START THE CAR FOR ME BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN. WE PLAN TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP, AS THEY HAVE PROMISED TO INCUR ANY TOWING COSTS IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO THE SHOP. REGARDLESS, WE ARE TAKING IT BACK, EVEN IF WE CAN GET IT TO START. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, SEATS
11/27/07 PROBLEM: AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. (TWO OCCURRENCES) DIAGNOSTIC CONDUCTED 11/25/07 AND 11/27/07. AT THE FIRST SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND I WAS ASKED TO BRING VEHICLE IN 11/27/07 A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC WAS CONDUCTED. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC CODES THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH COSTS EXCEEDING $1000. THE SEATS, THUS FAR APPEAR TO BE IN TACK. WHAT DOES SEAT CUSHION HAVE TO DO WITH AIRBAG OR ITS SENSOR? THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN YEARS 2 YEARS NEW WITH APPROX. 51,000 MILES. CONCERNS: VEHICLE SAFETY AND PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. I WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS COMMON IN MURANOS AND PATHFINDERS. IF SO, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL W/O COSTS TO CONSUMER. AFTER REVIEWING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED BY OTHER CONSUMERS, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT SAFETY CONCERNS EXISTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISKS OF INJURY TO A PASSENGER. IN ADDITION, THE ACTUAL CAUSE AND FINAL REPAIR RESOLUTION REMAINS UNKNOWN AND UNRESOLVED. (SEE OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINT NO. 10208537) IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG INDICATOR FAILED AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE AS THE OTHER. WHO IS TO SAY THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT MALFUNCTION IN CASE OF ACCIDENT? (PLEASE ALSO SEE CONSUMER COMPLAINT NO 10199625 & C.C. NO. 10196794) *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, TIRES, EQUIPMENT
SINCE LEASE OF VEHICLE IN JULY 2005, MANY PROBLEMS. MOST RECENT IS LACK OF ACCELERATION AT RANDOM TIMES. VEHICLE WAS FIXED AND IN LESS THAT A WEEK OF IT RETURNED TO ME, PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL CEASE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN OR OTHERS CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I AM AFRAID FOR MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AS WELL AS MY OWN WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED A NEW ENGINE WHEN IT WAS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A YEAR OLD, IT HAS HAD MANY OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH IT, HOWEVER THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS, SEATS
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, MY FRONT SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE PITTING ME TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. SEAT WAS LEANING TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2007 BROUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO TO THE NISSAN DEALER LOCATED IN MORRISTOWN, NJ (OPEN ROAD NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT). I WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE. IN ORDER TO FIX THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME OF THE VEHICLE, THE COST TO WOULD BE $900 PLUS DOLLARS. WHAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT - THIS SEAT MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR TO SERIOUS INJURY. WHY IS A SEAT FRAME BREAKING ON A VEHICLE WITH 48,500 MILES - NOT YET THREE YEARS OLD. I KEEP MY CARS FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS AND NO VEHICLE I EVER OWNED DID A SEAT JUST BREAK. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED ON NISSAN MURANOS. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR
