ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2009 NISSAN MURANO S . IT COMES WITH PUSH BUTTON "START/STOP" ENGINE (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE "INTELLIGENT SYSTEM". TO START THE ENGINE, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, PUT THE KEY FOB IN THE SLOT, AND PUSH THE START/STOP BUTTON..... THE DANGER IS WHEN YOU PARK THE CAR IN YOUR GARAGE...AND FORGET TO PUSH THE START/STOP BUTTON TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF... BECAUSE THIS TECHNOLOGY IS NEW, THE INSTINCT IS TO PULL THE KEY FOB OUT AND GET OUT OF THE CAR... THE ENGINE REMAINS ON AND IT IS QUIET ENOUGH THAT YOU DO NOT NOTICE THE ENGINE RUNNING... THE DANGER IS THAT CARBON MONOXIDE CAN FILL UP YOUR GARAGE AND HOUSE AND KILL THE INHABITANTS... I CONTACTED NISSAN VIA EMAIL. THEY HAD A TECH. REVIEW MY COMPLAINT AND RESPONDED AS FOLLOWS "DON'T FORGET TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF"... OBVIOUSLY THEY DO NOT GET THE DANGER... I HOPE YOU DO. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2005 MURANO DO NOT ALWAYS UNLOCK WHEN I PUSH THE UNLOCK BUTTON. IF THIS HAPPENS AFTER AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS AND ESCAPE AS THE DOORS WON'T OPEN WHEN LOCKED. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE JANUARY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO AWD HAD 88,300 MILES ON IT, AND BEGAN VIBRATING WHILE I WAS ON A 4-LANE ROAD. AS I TRIED TO PULL IT OFF INTO A PARKING LOT ON THE LEFT, IT CAME OUT OF GEAR, AND STOPPED IN THE CENTER OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. IT WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR, AND WOULD NOT REV, BUT IT WAS IDLING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I CALLED 911, BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT MY STALLED CAR WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THEN 2 MEN OFFERED TO HELP PUSH THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT. THEY DID, BUT THEY PUT THEMSELVES IN HARM'S WAY IN THE STILL BUSY INTERSECTION. TWO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS DIAGNOSED THE CAR AS NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT AT A COST OF $6000. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS UNEXPECTEDLY INTO THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THERE IS NO WARNING AND IT IS SUDDEN. THIS BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A WRECK. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. QUOTES HAVE BEEN AROUND $400 TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

2003 NISSAN MURANO. DRIVERS SEAT MOUNT, LEFT REAR, BROKE IN 2006 (OUT OF WARRANTY, NORMAL WEIGHT DRIVERS). AFTER MANY CALLS TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY COVERED THE REPAIR ($900). NOW, APRIL 2009, SAME SEAT MOUNT BROKE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL. MANY COMPLAINTS FOUND ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE NOT ONLY IN 2003 MODEL, BUT ALSO 2004 AND 2005. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! A $900 REPAIR IS NOT SOMETHING EVERYONE CAN AFFORD AND DRIVING WITH A BROKEN SEAT MOUNT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO SUDDENLY COLLAPSED AS THE FRAME BROKE. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME SO THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOT A LARGE PERSON AND ONLY WEIGH ABOUT 195 POUNDS. FROM WHAT I GATHER THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE MURANO AND AN IMPORTANT SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO A POORLY DESIGNED FRAME. BESIDES THE FACT THAT THIS IS AN $800 TO $1100 REPAIR BILL, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. SO FAR NISSAN HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE NHTSA CALL FOR A MANDATORY RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR
