AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE EXITING A PARKING SPACE AT A LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 10 MPH) THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED TO FULL THROTTLE. BRAKING WOULD NOT HOLD IT AND MY CAR RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AFTER TRAVELING 5-15 YARDS, PUSHING IT UP ON A SIDEWALK BEFORE STOPPING. BOTH CARS TOTAL LOSS DUE TO BENT FRAME/RAILS. MY FRONT END DEMOLISHED AND RADIATOR PUSHED INTO ENGINE BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AFTER THE INCIDENT IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD SNAPPED OFF.

SEATS
MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 NISSAN MURANO. 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS AND NO RECALL YET. THIS IS VERY SAD WHEN A COMPANY CAN'T STAND BEHIND A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. GOD FORBID SOMEONE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT. FIRST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN IS ME OR SOMEONE WITH SAME PROBLEM FLYING OUT THE WINDOW BC OF A DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME. I'VE PURCHASED ABOUT 5 NISSANS IN MY LIFE TIME. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE FROM NISSAN. A DEFECT SEAT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO HAD 5 FAILURES. ITS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. THE FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THAT DEAD END TO ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OTHER HIGHWAY. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. THE BRAKES USUALLY GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN. ON 3/17/16, THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE BRAKES DID NOT GO BACK TO NORMAL. I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AND THEY NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE BRAKES. ON THE FIRST 4 ISSUES, WE BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THE BRAKING FAILURES HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY NISSAN. I'VE READ MANY BLOGS ON THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FOR IT TO BECOME A RECALL, DO PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES?

POWER TRAIN
2003 NISSAN MURANO STARTED AT 98,000 MILES. LIKE MANY, MANY THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME , WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN SUDDENLY LAUNCHES FORWARD UNEXPECTANTLY! NISSAN TRIED TO LOOK AS IF THEY ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFTEY FLAW BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD FROM 5 YR OR 60,000 MILES TO 10 YR OR 100,000 MILES. PROBLEM IS THE ISSUE A LOT OF THE TIMES STARTS OUTSIDE THOSE PERIMETERS SUCH AS MINE! EVEN MORE, IF THE VEHICLE DOES FALL IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY REPLACED THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION WHICH ALSO FAILS AS THEY ARE IDENTICLE! IN MY CASE THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD WHEN I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE THEREFORE NISSAN SAYS IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. HOW CAN A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE BE COVERED UNDER A TIME LIMIT? THE DESIGN FLAW IS FOREVER THERFORE THE SAFETY ISSUE IS FOREVER! SO MY LIFE IS DEPENDING ON YOUR HELP TO GET THIS RESOLVED. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF NISSAN PRODUCTS UNTIL THEY LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN MAKE GM, CHRYSLER AND FORD RECALL THAT ARE OVER TEN-YEARS OLD ; WHY CAN'T THEY REQUIRE NISSAN TO DO THE SAME THING?

THIS SHOULD BE 100% LIFETIME COVERED!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR IS INTERMITTENTLY STALLING WHEN I GET TO ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS, OTHER TIMES IT STALLS OUT AND TURNS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS DONE SO WHEN I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AND THREE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. TWICE THE CAR WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN I TRIED TO SPEED UP THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT GO OVER THIS SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. AGAIN, IT HAPPENED GOING ABOUT 5MPH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE THEN TURNED OFF.

ENGINE
I TOO HAD THE SMELL OF ANIT-FREEZE FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY (MASTER & REGULAR MECHANIC) SAID THE SAME THING. THE ANTI-FREEZE USED IN THEY'RE NEW CARS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BLEND FROM THOSE USED IN YEARS PAST. IT'S A SWEETER SMELLING BLEND. THEY HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT AS WELL AS VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIPS ABOUT IT AND THERE'S NOTHING TO DO. IT'S CONSIDERED THE NEW NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THIS IS TO REPLY TO COMPLAINT FILED BY A OWNER FROM TURLOCK, CA. NHTSA I.D. # 10649051 INCIDENT DATE: 06/21/2014 COMPLAINT DATE: 10/21/2014. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE

RADIO (AND) CLIMATE SYSTEM) KNOBS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY.

THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON ALL KINDS OF ROADS AT VARIOUS TIMES. DATE LISTED BELOW IS NOT ACCURATE. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS AND ONGOING PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES AND DATES.
