I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A LOSS OF MOTION WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE ON THE ROAD AND MOVING THE VEHICLE LOST ABILITY TO MOVE. AT ONE POINT I WAS LIMITED TO UNSAFE DRIVING SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. ALL OCCURRENCES OF LOSS OF MOTION OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS WHERE POSTED SPEED LIMITS WERE 45 MPH OR LESS. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FOR SERVICE AT WHICH TIME IT WAS DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. AT 60,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE WAS AT FULL FAILURE AND FULL REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY. ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE WAS COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT WAS NOT USED FOR TOWING PURPOSES.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MALFUNCTIONED AND WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY CLOSE, SO IT WOULD LIFT AND FLY OFF WHEN MY CAR WAS IN MOTION. HAD TO MANUALLY LOCK BACK IN PLACE HOWEVER THE ROOF ERROR SIGNAL KEPT CONSISTENTLY BEEPING SINCE IT THOUGHT THE ROOF WAS STILL DOWN. HAD TO DISCONNECT WIRING TO BE ABLE TO USE CAR. NOW A FEW OTHER THINGS DON'T WORK PROPERLY BECAUSE OF THE WIRING THAT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AS A QUICK FIX TO THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ON 95, BREAK PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AFTER HITTING A BUMP AND BREAKING HARD. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT THE ABS MODULE WAS THE CAUSE, AND HAD BEEN INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE 2009 MODEL YEAR. NOTING THAT THE FAILING PART NUMBER FOR THE 2009 YEAR WAS "47660 1SW0A" AND FOUND TO BE IDENTICAL TO THE 2011 YEAR. MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 97K MILES. WHY IS THE RECALL LIMITED TO THE 2009 AND NOT INCLUDING THE 2011?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I START TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, MY CAR WILL HESITATE TO ACCEPT THE GAS AND SEEMS AS IF IT'S GOING TO QUIT, HOWEVER, INADVERTENTLY IT FINALLY CATCHES UP AND WILL START TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2016. IT SEEMS AS IF IT IS MORE OFTEN LATELY. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN AND IS DANGEROUS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. ALSO, THIS MAKES ME UNEASY BECAUSE ANYONE BEHIND ME COULD POSSIBLY RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR.

TOOK VEHICLE INTO NISSAN OF SILSBEE WHERE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT FOR SERVICE -- SERVICE PERSON CAME TO ME AND SAID THAT SHE HAD BAD NEWS -- VEHICLE HAD A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK. FIRST TIME EVER, I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE TRANSMISSION CONCERN TO HAVE THEM GIVE ME A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID IT WAS LEAKING BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. THEY PULLED THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND THAT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS WEREN'T UP TO DATE. THE VEHICLE HAD ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BY SILSBEE NISSAN AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THERE WERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. COST TO ME FOR REPAIRS WERE $5,716 WITH 90,000 MILES ON VEHICLE.

WITH ONLY 91000 MILES, MY 2011 MURANO IS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS UP TO 2010 WERE ALL EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS/120000 MILES WARRANTY FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THAT WAS ENDED FOR THE 2011 YEAR AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE DEFECTS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS, BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME CLOSE TO $5000 WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO STOP. THE VEHICLE CAN STOP BUT WITH A FRACTION OF THE BRAKING ABILITY. THE PEDAL CONTINUES TO PUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN PUMPING THE PEDAL. IT CORRECTS ON ITS OWN AFTER AN HOUR OR SO. 4 OCCASIONS OCCURRED AFTER HITTING A BUMP. 1 OCCASION OCCURRED WHEN THE ABS ENGAGED AFTER HITTING A PATCH OF ICE. THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEEN REPLACED (I SAVED THE OLD ONE) AND THE BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER A SPAN OF ABOUT 1YEAR SO IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO INTENTIONALLY REPEAT AND DIAGNOSE. INTERNET RESEARCH POINTS TO A POSSIBLE STICKING ABS MODULATOR VALVE. *TT *TR
