ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING TO TAKE MY BOSS AND 2 COWORKERS TO LUNCH. I WAS ON ROBINS AF BASE IN THE LEFT HAND EXIT LANE. MY CAR JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER AND STALLED... NO BRAKES... NO POWER... ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE FRONT DASHBOARD CAME ON. I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE REAR BY THE CAR BEHIND ME BECAUSE I WAS IN A TURN LANE AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED IN FRONT OF THEM. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR AND TURN AROUND AND IMMEDIATELY PARKED IT AND WE HAD TO WALK A WAYS TO GET TO ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE... THEN MY HUSBAND CAME AND DROVE THE CAR TO MECHANIC WHO LIVES UP THE STREET WHO HOOKED IT UP TO THE SENSOR THING... IT IS THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR. NOW LOOKING AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I AM AFRAID THAT THERE IS MORE THAT WILL OCCUR. I CAN'T REALLY TRUST THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE THEY TRIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO CHARGE FOR SERVICES NOT NEEDED EACH AT LEAST $800. I PAID $80 TO HAVE MY TIRES BALANCED AND THEY ONLY BALANCED 3 OF THE 4! SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAM SENSOR THAT NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE VEHICLES NOT ON THE LIST. THIS IS NOT RIGHT FOR ALL THE CUSTOMERS WHO PAID GOOD MONEY FOR A WORKING VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION. I STILL HAVE TO CONTACT THE DEALER BUT I DON'T EXPECT FROM THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS THEY WILL BE ANY HELP AND I REFUSE TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR A DEFAULT IN THE VEHICLE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF AND REFUSE TO RECALL! PLEASE MAKE NOTE THAT MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO IS AMONG THOSE WITH THE CAM SENSOR PROBLEM AND NOT ON THE LIST. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS IF NISSAN EXPECTS GOOD REVIEWS AND REPEAT CUSTOMERS... IF THEY DON'T WELL, I WILL GO TO EVERY PLACE I CAN POST TO AND SHARE MY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER SERVICE STORY. *TR

THIS STATEMENT IS IN ADDITION OF NUMURAS SAFETY RECALLS. JULY 2008 ON INTERSTATE 22 MYRTLE BEACH MY 2003 MURANO STALLED OUT WITH SON AND DAUGHTER. JULY 2009 IT STALLED OUT IN WHITEVILLE NC. IT STALLED AGAIN. ON BOTH OCCASIONS NISSAN REPLACED A BLOWN A BLOWN FUSE. NOTHING ELSE. AUGUST 2010 TRAFFIC THE MURANO STALLED AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A TEN CAR PILE UP. WE WERE LUCKY. TOWED MURANO,TO NISSAN OF MYRTLE BEACH, FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. ON ALL THE RECALLS MAILED TO US REFER:THESE SAFETY RECALLS COULD CAUSE FIRE OR CRASHES. MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF OUR DEATH TRAP OF OUR 2003 MURANO. THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT A RECALL,BUT IF YOU LOOK UP COMPLAINTS ON FUEL PUMPS AND BLOWN FUSES YOU SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I WANT A INVESTIGATION DONE. *TR

ON MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO, THE SUN VISOR STOPPED WORKING AND NOW THE VISOR FALLS DURING NORMAL DRIVING N& WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS STARTED LAST WEEK AND WE HAVE HAD TWO NEAR MISSES SINCE THEN WHERE THE VISOR DROPPED DOWN WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING RESULTING IN HERE FIELD OF VISION BEING IMPAIRED. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT 2 CLOSE CALLS WAS ENOUGH THAT I REMOVED THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR ALL TOGETHER. IS THIS A COMMON DEFECT & IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS? *TR

2003 NISSAN MURANO SL: THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THEN WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR WILL GO "INTO GEAR" AND MOVE. CAR WOULD LOSE DRIVE TRAIN POWER, BUT ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS, RADIO, AC, STEERING WOULD STILL WORK. THE CAR SIMPLY WOULD NOT GO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN AND THEN QUIT ALL OF A SUDDEN. *TR

SEATS
I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO ON THE HIGHWAY IN NORMAL TRAFFIC AND I HEARD A POP AND MY DRIVER SEAT DROPPED SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT. ONCE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT TO INVESTIGATE, I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING LOOSE OR BROKEN OFF. I THEN TRIED TO MOVE THE SEAT AND THE SEAT EASILY MOVES OFF OF THE FLOOR AND UP TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY FELT THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IN DRIVING THE CAR. I WAS THANKFUL THAT THE SEAT DID NOT MOVE DRAMATICALLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AS I AM SURE THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE ONE TIME BUT THE SEAT NOW CONTINUALLY MOVES IF MAKING A FAST STOP. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND AT THIS POINT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THE COST WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL AND WILL BE AT LEAST $1000. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED SEAT FRAME. IF THE SEAT FRAME IS CRACKING DURING NORMAL USE WITH AN AVERAGE SIZE PERSON (125 LBS) I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THE SEAT WOULD HANDLE A FULL ON ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE FRAME IS ALREADY CRACKED. NOT TO MENTION THE SEAT FRAME CRACKING COULD CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER STOPPING AT INTERSECTION I PRESSED THE GAS AND CAR ROLLED INTO INTERSECTION. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS CAR TOOK OFF LIKE A BAT OUT OF ???. THIS WAS QUITE SCARY AS A TRUCK WAS APPROACHING. THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND LATELY THIS HAS BECOME AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE. THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU ARE CLUELESS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I THOUGHT THE PREVIOUS RECALL CONCERNING THE AIR INTAKE WAS A SOLUTION. IT IS MORE THAN OBVIOUS THAT IT IS NOT. THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS TO BE IGNORED. I INVITE YOU TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR A DAY AND THEN MAYBE YOU WILL HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. I NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE COMPLAINTS FILED BUT I DO NOT SEE ANY RESOLUTION. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. EXTENDING THE WARRANTY IS NOT A SOLUTION IF THE DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO FIX THE CAR. PLEASE GET THIS FIXED BEFORE THERE IS LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BOUGHT A 2003 NISSAN MURANO NEW AND HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. BASICALLY THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AND THEN SUDDENLY SURGES FORWARD. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND SEEMS TO MOSTLY OCCUR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS HOT. SOMETIMES IT SURGES WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED, BUT THEY HAVE EITHER SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG OR THAT IT NEEDED A NEW AIR FILTER, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED AND IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. NISSAN SENT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT STATES IT COVERS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS UP TO 120,000 MILES, HOWEVER THE DEALER WON'T HONOR IT AND WANTS A $2,000 DEPOSIT TO ORDER THE PARTS BEFORE IT WILL SCHEDULE THE REPAIR.I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR IS COVERED, AND I TOLD THE DEALER THIS, BUT THE DEALER SAID NISSAN WON'T REIMBURSE HIM SO HE WON'T MAKE THE REPAIRS UNLESS I PAY, AND PAY UP FRONT, NO LESS. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS AND MY VEHICLE IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING THE 120,000 WARRANTY CUT OFF AND I HAVE THE FEELING THEY ARE JUST STALLING UNTIL THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE AND I DON'T KNOW WHOM TO TURN TO. *TR

WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND THEN LUNGES FORWARD. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR 3-5 TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE THEN IT WILL LURCH FORWARD. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SLOW ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. VEHICLE SLOWED ON FREEWAY FROM OVER 65 MPH TO UNDER 40 MPH AND UNABLE TO GO ANY FASTER. DEALER SAYS IT WAS DUE TO THE COMPUTER NEEDING TO BE RESET AND NOW SAYS IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSFER CASE. I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED WITHOUT REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE WITH A NEW DESIGN. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ON SEPT 9, 2005 WITH 28,158 MILES FROM CHECKERED FLAG AUTO DEALER FOR MY WIFE. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES IN JUNE 2006 AROUND 38K MILES. MY WIFE WAS STOP AT A RED LIGHT ON INTERSTATE 264 EXIT RAMP ON HER WAY HOME FROM WORK. ACCORDING TO MY WIFE, THE RED LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE MURANO HESITATE ON ACCELERATION THEN STARTED ACCELERATING SLOWLY. AFTER ABOUT 3 FEET FROM THE LIGHT THE MURANO STARTED JERKING, RPM WAS RAVING HIGH BUT THE CAR WASN'T MOVING THEN PROMPTLY SPEED UP AND SHUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, SHE TRIED RESTARTING THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE MURANO WAS TOWED HOME AND THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE TECH SAID MY RUBBER INTAKE VIBRATED OFF AND CHARGED ME TO PUT IT BACK ON. (NOW THERE'S A RECALL FOR THAT, I WONDER IF IT'S TOO LATE TO GET A REFUND. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V169000) A BAD POSITION CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AT THE TIME BUT WHEN I DID, REPLACING THE SENSORS DID NOT FIX THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE MURANO IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER 6 YEARS. I STILL OWE $11K AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS NIGHTMARE. THIS WAS THE WORST FINANCIAL DECISION I EVER MADE FOR MY FAMILY. IT KILLS (IT MIGHT REALLY KILL ME IN TRAFFIC) ME TO KNOW MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS DO NOT HAVE A DEPENDABLE MEANS OF GETTING TO DAYCARE AND WORK WHILE I AM DEPLOYED PROTECTION MY COUNTRY. I CONTACTED NISSAN MANY TIME AND IN A NUTSHELL I WAS TOLD TOO BAD, I SHOULD CALL BACK WHEN I WANT TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

CAR LOOSES POWER NUMEROUS TIMES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO TURN LEFT WITH AN ONCOMING CAR. TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THEY SAID IT'S BECAUSE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW. AFTER OIL CHANGE SERVICE, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. LOOKS LIKE IT IS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE BUT NISSAN DENIES IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I DRIVE A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. I HAD EXITED OFF THE INTERSTATE RIGHT TO A RED STOPLIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO ONLY DRIFT INTO THE INTERSECTION. I FLOORED THE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY JERKED INTO MOTION AFTER MY LIGHT HAD TURNED RED AGAIN AND TRAFFIC WAS WAITING ON ME. PERHAPS IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM? RESTART A COMPUTER AND THINGS CLEAR UP. THAT'S WHAT I DID WITH THE MURANO. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE CORRECTED ITSELF. I WAS WRONG. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS LEAVING A DRIVE-THRU AND ONCE AGAIN WAS SLOWLY COASTING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION UNTIL THE MURANO JERKED INTO ACTION. IN ALL OF THESE SITUATIONS I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH THAT THE OTHER DRIVERS WERE OBSERVANT AND DIDN'T HIT ME. I HAVE NOW NOTICED THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT ANY TYPE OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SITUATION. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO COME AND GO. IT WON'T HAPPEN FOR DAYS OR WEEKS. THEN IT'LL DO THE SLOW AND JERK EVERY DAY AT EVERY STOP EVEN IF I DO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART. I DON'T LIVE NEAR A DEALERSHIP, SO I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEPENDABLE SHOP. NOT ONE OF THEIR MECHANICS COULD REPRODUCE THE CONDITION. I THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLY AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. MY MURANO IS A HIGH-MILEAGE VEHICLE. MY FRIEND HAD MENTIONED HAVING THE TRANSMISSION IN HIS HIGH-MILEAGE CAR REBUILT AND HOW IT FELT LIKE IT WAS NEW AGAIN. WHILE RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I DIDN'T FIND INFORMATION ON A RE-BUILD KIT, BUT I DID FIND MANY FORUMS FROM OTHER MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME "SLOW AND JERK" PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. RIGHT NOW, I'M PRETTY MUCH WAITING FOR MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I HAVE INQUIRED ABOUT THE PRICE OF REMOVING AND REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION: $4500 WAS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
NISSAN MURANO 2003 - IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING 45 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND LUCKILY, I WAS ON THE DECLINE SIDE OF A BRIDGE AND WAS ABLE TO ROLL SAFELY TO THE SIDE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD MY 2 YEAR OLD SON AND WIFE IN THE CAR AND CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE CAR SHUT OFF ON THE INCLINE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND THE MECHANICS INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM BURNT OUT. THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT FUSE COULD HAVE BURNT OUT. ONCE REPLACED THE CAR FUNCTIONED WITH NO ISSUES. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

I OWN A 2003 MURANO. THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR FAILS TO STAY IN PLACE WHEN PUSHED TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD. IT WILL, IF YOU PUSH IT UP, STAY THERE ONLY A COUPLE SECONDS. WHEN IT FALLS, IT BLOCKS OUT HALF OF YOUR VISION, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE CARS IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE A VISOR I CAN NEVER USE. I CAN'T BLOCK OUT THE SUN IN MY EYES, AND IF I CHOSE TO, I AM CHOOSING TO NOT SEE CARS IN FRONT OF ME. VISOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AN ISSUE WITH LEAKING TRANSFER CASES IN MURANOS. THEY HAVE PUT IN PLACE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES, HOWEVER, DID NOT INCLUDE TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS. *TR
