POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS COMPLAINT RELATES TO A CLOSED RECALL FOR THE 2005 NISSAN MURANO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V3190. TWO MONTHS WITH THE VEHICLE AND I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WHERE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DRIVE-ABILITY, BRINGING MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF TO A HARMS WAY. I CONTRACTED AAMCO TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, ONE MONTH LATER, NISSAN USA HAD TO PROVIDE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION TO REPLACE THE ONE CHANGED ONE MONTH BEFORE. LAST MONDAY, JULY 06, 2015, WHILE DRIVING ON THE NEW JERSEY GARDEN STATE PARKWAY, THE VEHICLE PRESENTED SERIOUS TROUBLE, WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AWD AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AS THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED, TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED, PUTTING MY WIFE, MYSELF AND OTHER VEHICLES AROUND US IN SERIOUS RISK OF ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND LATER TO A NEAR BY FRIEND`S HOUSE IN THE GALLOWAY AREA. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN USA REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT AAMCO, SINCE THEY INSTALLED THE NEW TRANSMISSION. AAMCO CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT, THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE ALTERNATOR THAT HEATED UP, DROPPED VOLTAGE TO 12V DC AND CAUSED THE SAFE MODE TO ENGAGE, BY MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN USA CLAIMS THAT THIS NHTSA CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN CLOSED, WHEN IT IS TO MY BELIEVE THAT, IT SHOULD BE RE-OPENED AND NOT ONLY ME, BUT ALSO MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS, THAT STILL CONFRONT SUCH FACTORY DEFECTIVE ISSUES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO ACT FAST ENOUGH AND BRING MY VEHICLE TO SAFES WAY, WOULD ALL OTHERS BE SO LUCKY?

POWER TRAIN
ON 4/28/2005 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T GET UP PAST 10 MPH. I LOOKED UP ONLINE AT NISSAN.COM AND FOUND OUT THERE MAY BE A WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR CVT. I BROUGHT IT IN, AND THEY VERIFIED IT AND REPLACED IT. 3 DAYS LATER MY CVT STARTED TO GIVE ME SIMILAR ISSUES AGAIN. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THEY MAY RE WORK ON IT. NOW I GET IT BACK AND RIDE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER 2 DAYS AND NOW I HEAR A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. NOW I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO KINGS NISSAN IN BROOKLYN NY. THIS TIME THEY TELL ME IT WAS A MESSED UP TCU COMPUTER ON THE REPLACED CVT, AND NOW A TRANSFER CASE. UPON FURTHER REVIEW ONLINE. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE LIKE MY SELF GOING THROUGH THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN WONT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR WAS THE INVOLUNTARY LOCKING OF ALL DOORS WITHOUT MY INVOLVEMENT WHENEVER I PARKED THE CAR SOMEWHERE. THIS PROVED VERY INCONVENIENT AT TIMES WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE MY CAR KEYS WITH ME. THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS ONLY TO TELL ME THEY COULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO CONTACT NISSAN WITH THE PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE TRANSFER CASE PART OF THE AWD TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING. MY MURANO IS ON IT'S 3RD TRANSMISSION (REPLACED AROUND 25K AND AGAIN AROUND 106K), AND THIS POSSIBLY WAS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I REALIZE THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY/SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED THAT I REPORT THIS DEFECT HERE IN AN ATTEMPT TO FORCE NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL SINCE SO MANY MURANO OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXPENSIVE FAILURES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING WHEN USING THE REMOTE AND BUTTON DOOR LOCK CONTROLS. ALL DOORS WOULD LOCK BUT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD REMAIN UNLOCKED. THE SAME WAS TRUE WHEN UNLOCKING ALL DOORS WITH REMOTE OR BUTTONS. ALL DOORS WOULD UNLOCK ACCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO OTHER DOORS IN THE CAR WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY INCLUDING THE REAR HATCH NOT OPENING AT ALL AND I HAVE NOT MANUAL BUTTON TO FLIP TO ALLOW THE HATCH TO OPEN. *TR

SEATS
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO S WITH JUST 65,000 MILES ON IT. THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE; I THINK IT IS SOMETHING AT THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT. AFTER LOOKING ON LINE, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A PART CALLED THE LIFTER BRACKET. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY MANUFACTURE A PART FOR THIS REPAIR AT A VERY HIGH COST TO THE CONSUMER NOT TO MENTION THE LABOR COST TO DO THE REPAIR. THIS HAS BEEN AN APPARENT PROBLEM FOR YEARS WITHOUT ANY RECALL BY NISSAN. MY SISTER ALSO HAS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AS WELL AND HER DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE A FEW YEARS AGO; THEY PUT A BRICK UNDER IT TO STOP THE ROCKING! THE SEAT ROCKS TO THE RIGHT WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CORNER AND GOD FORBID WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. IS THERE ANYTHING YOUR AGENCY CAN DO TO CAUSE NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT? *TR

SEATS
WHILE TURNING A CORNER THE SEAT MOUNT (DRIVER'S SIDE) BROKE CAUSING THE SEAT TO IMMEDIATELY SLANT TO THE LEFT. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED, HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, PASSING A TRUCK THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AS I WOULD HAVE NO DOUBT BEEN DISTRACTED AND TRIED TO FIX OR ADJUST THE SEAT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOW QUALITY PARTS BEING USED. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ONE OF THEIR MORE EXPENSIVE ONES CURRENTLY IN THEIR INVENTORY. *TR
