ENGINE
THE CAR STALLS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF RUNNING/DRIVING. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE DAY. THAT MORNING I STARTED THE CAR, IT WARMED UP FOR 5 MINUTES, DROVE 15 MILES TO WORK, IT STALLED AS I PULLED IN TO THE PARKING LOT. IT RESTARTED BUT WAS SLOW TO DO SO. THE CAR SAT FOR 5.5 HOURS WHILE AT WORK. I STARTED THE CAR WITHOUT WARMING UP, DROVE 20 MILES, IT STALLED A BLOCK BEFORE MY HOME. IT RESTARTED SAME AS EARLIER THAT DAY. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WEEK, HAD THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR REPLACED YESTERDAY. TODAY, STARTED THE CAR, LET IT SIT IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER 30 MINUTES IT STOPPED RUNNING. IT WILL RESTART BUT TAKES A FEW SECONDS. *TR

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
THE REAR SUSPENSION MEMBER LINK WHICH HOLDS THE SUSPENSION TO THE CAR ROTTED OFF AND CAUSED THE SUSPENSION TO FAIL. THE REMAINING METAL IS SEVERELY ROOTED OR PERFORATED. THERE ARE SEVERAL 2003 MURANOS ON THE ROAD. MINE IS ALWAYS GARAGED AND I HAVE KEPT IT WELL MAINTAINED SINCE NEW. NISSANUSA WAS CALLED AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX OR PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I SURELY WOULD THINK THIS CAR COULD GO FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS BEFORE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE ENTIRE CAR HAS NO RUST ANYWHERE ON IT, SO WHY DID THE REAR SUSPENSION FAIL? I AM WONDERING IF IN THE EARLY 2000'S IF THIS METAL THAT WAS USED WAS SOME OF THE BATCH THAT MADE THEM RECALL AND REPLACE A LARGE NUMBER OF PICKUP TRUCKS TOO. I AM WONDERING HOW MANY OTHER MURANO'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM OR WILL. THIS IS SURELY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE WHO IS DRIVING A VEHICLE LIKE THIS.. PLEASE HELP. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
COMING OFF EXIT RAMP, STOPPED AND TURNED LEFT, WAS GOING AROUND 25 MPH WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD, ACCELERATED, RPM SHOT UP. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR THEN SLOWED AND BEGAN DRIVING NORMALLY. A WEEK LATER, MY WIFE AND I WERE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 60 MPH WHEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AS THOUGH IT WAS PUT INTO A LOW GEAR. WE COULD ONLY GET IT TO GO NO MORE THAT 35 MPH. WE PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER AND PARKED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. HAD TO TOW IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 65 WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS BEFORE, IT WENT INTO A LOWER GEAR, LOWERING MY SPEED TO AROUND 30 MPH WHICH CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET HIT FROM BEHIND. HAD IT BEEN A LARGE TRUCK IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE HIT ME. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN I PULLED OUT AGAIN, IT DROVE AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS FROM MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND STATING THAT LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND IF THEY DO ANYTHING, THEY CHANGE OUT THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST TO THE OWNER. I JUST PURCHASED MY MURANO A FEW MONTHS AGO IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 FROM A SMALL LOT. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. TWICE WE COULD HAVE VERY EASILY BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE FIRST 2003 MURANOS, I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD ORDER A RECALL AND FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *JS

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS COMING OUT OF A TUNNEL DRIVING NORMALLY AT 55 MPH, MY MURANO JOLTED AND SURGED IT'S RPM INTO THE RED. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. AFTER GOING ONLINE AND SEEING THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NISSAN HAS NOT CONDUCTED A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I CALLED NISSAN CANADA TODAY AND GOT NO WHERE. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 200 KM. WHICH MY CAR NOW AT 158K AND 2014 DO NOT APPLY. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AS NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS FAULTY PROBLEM AND IS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED. SHE SAID IT WASN'T NISSAN WHO MAKES THE RULES ON RECALLS BUT THE NHTSA. WHICH TO ME IS JUST A COP-OUT! WHAT COMPANY PRODUCES A FAULTY PRODUCT AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT! *JS

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A DEALER AS A USED VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2013. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VERY SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHEN DRIVING THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN SCARY AND UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS AND I HAVE RUN THE RISK OF REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. OTHER TIMES IT HAS BEEN AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC THAT IS TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED AND YOU HAVE TO SPEED UP TO MERGE. IF YOUR CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL OTHERS CAN CRASH INTO YOU. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER NISSAN MURANOS THAT ARE THE SAME YEAR AS MINE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES AND NISSAN HAS RECEIVED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS WITH REGARD TO CVT AND FRONT TRANSFER CASE (CRACKS/FRACTURES) ISSUES BUT THAT NISSAN HAS NOT HAD A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER THAT I HAVE IN MY CAR WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR! I ALSO PURCHASED THIS CAR AFTER ANOTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED MY OTHER VEHICLE AND NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT HAS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES THAT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT!! *TR

AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING ON A CURVY, GRAVEL ROAD I HAD JUST COME OUT OF A LEFT SIDED CURVE. THE VEHICLE STARTED SPINNING COUNTER CLOCKWISE TOWARDS A DITCH. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED TURNING MY WHEEL CLOCKWISE TO COMPENSATE AND REGAIN CONTROL. MY LEFT REAR TIRE LOST AIR WHICH I BELIEVE WAS THE REASON I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL. I ENDED UP IN A DITCH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM IN HAND WAS THAT THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, HOWEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE DID DEPLOY. HAD THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS IT SHOULD HAVE, I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG MY DAUGHTER HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WHERE BY CRACKING HER 1ST AND 2ND RIB, RECEIVED A HEAD CONCUSSION, THORACIC BACK PAID, CERVICAL STRAIN-WHIPLASH, CHEST WALL CONTUSION,CONTUSIONS IN BOTH KNEES, INTRA-ABDOMINAL HEMATOMA'S AND HAS SUFFERED GREATLY. I HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY PRODUCT. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST? SINCERELY, *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING LOW SPEED AT SCHOOL ZONE WHEN DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, COLLISION OR ACCIDENT IN ANY WAY. TO MY OWN AMUSEMENT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT AIR BAGS DEPLOY LIKE THIS. BOTH CASES ARE VERY SIMILAR IF NOT EXACTLY THE SAME (DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND... POOF!). I LIVE IN THE TROPICS WHERE IT'S HOT AND HUMID. I'VE HEARD SOME CARS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS BUT OF COURSE, NOT MINE. I ASKED NISSAN IF I SHOULD WORRY ABOUT THESE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY BECAUSE AS I MENTIONED BEFORE BOTH CURTAINS AND SEATS WERE DEPLOYED THE SAME WAY, AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE SENSOR WAS ALREADY "OFF" AND THERE WAS NO WAY THIS COULD HAPPEN. WELL... HERE I AM, MAKING SURE THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE INCIDENT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY... DON'T BUY NISSAN, THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE NOR COSTUMER FRIENDLY. BASICALLY YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN, THEY DON'T CARE AND DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT. SO DISAPPOINTED. I AM SO LUCKY TO BE UNHARMED WITH ALL OF THIS... TWICE! WHAT IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY???? I WENT TO POLICE AND MADE REPORT, JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME. NOTE: THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN FEBRUARY 2014, 8 MONTHS AGO. I JUST HOPE THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER AIR BAG WAITING TO DEPLOY IN THIS CAR, I STILL HAVEN'T OVERCOME THE PREVIOUS SHOCKS. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I AM DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WONT ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC. A WARNING LIGHT GOES ON THEN GOES OFF. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER AND AM SCARED TO LET HER DRIVE IT. ,I AM A WIDOW AND MONEY IS VERY TIGHT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING IT WOULD BE SAFE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING SO I GOGGLED IT TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS OR HAD THESE ISSUES. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CAR BUT ONLY CERTAIN VIN#'S. HOW CAN YOU RULE OUT THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY ARE ALL SAYING THAT THEY WONT GOING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY.IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING BEFORE NISSAN WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CAR AND IT'S PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I HAVE POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER WHERE THIS IS CONCERNED AND IT IS TAKING EVERYTHING I CAN DO TO NOT TO START HAVING PANIC ATTACKS WHERE THIS IS CONCERNED. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING AND SO DOES THE GOVERNMENT REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO GOING 45MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED, THE AIR WENT OUT, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS PRESSING THE GAS BUT IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND IT SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I'VE BEEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS THAT CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM SO THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THEY THINK IT'S MAYBE ELECTRICAL OR ENGINE COOLING. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT THIS CAR YEARS 3 YEARS AGO IN MIAMI AND IN THE BEGINNING I NOTICED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A MINOR PROBLEM THAT I COULD FIX WHIT THE TIME BUT I WAS WRONG. IF I'M SENDING THIS COMPLAINT NOW, IS BECAUSE ON MY EFFORT TO FIX THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM I FIND THIS INFORMATION ON THE WEB WHERE IT LOOKS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WORST PART OF THIS BEGAN A COUPLE MOUTHS AGO WHEN I WAS GETTING BACK FROM PENNSYLVANIA WITH MY FAMILY ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVEN AROUND 65 MILES AND UNEXPECTEDLY THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM CAME "THE DECELERATION"FROM 65 IT WAS GETTING TO 30 MILES, IT SCARED ME A LOT BUT I CONSIDERED MYSELF THAT I'M A GOOD DRIVER AND MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO LET THE MOTOR WORK BY ITSELF I DIDN'T TOUCH THE SPEED AND THE BRAKE AND I PULL OVER THE CAR WITH THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS I TURN IT OFF AND I WAITED 20 MINUTES AND THEN I TURN IT ON THE CAR AGAIN, FORTUNATELY IT WORKED AFTER THIS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM I THOUGHT. I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY AND HONESTLY I DON'T NEED THE CAR IF I BOUGHT IS JUST FOR PLEASURE TO GO OUT THE CITY TO VACATION AND HERE I FIND OTHER PROBLEM; WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES LIKE HERE IN THE CITY YOU DIDN'T NOTICE ABOUT THIS BUT THE PROBLEM IT COMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES OVER 50 MILES AND THEN THE MOTOR LOOSE POWER. THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE EVERY TIME WHEN I DO THE IGNITION THEN 5 MINUTES LATTER THE MOTOR LOOSE POWER. I CHANGE SEVERAL AUTO PARTS ON THE ENGINE SYSTEM AND THE ELECTRICAL TOO, I THOUGHT THAT MAY BE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD BE THE PROBLEM A SENSOR A FUSIBLE OR SOMETHING BUT HOWEVER I STILL WITHOUT FIX THIS PROBLEM I DON'T WANT DRIVE ANY MORE THIS CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW COULD BE THE REACTION OF THE CAR AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY, EVEN I DON'T WANT EVEN TRY TO SELL IT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WILL BE BADNESS TO SELL AT SOMEBODY ON THAT CONDITION.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 7/15/14, DROVE IT HOME AND IT WOULD NOT START 7/16/14. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SHUT OFF 2 MORE TIMES WHILE PARKED. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND RUNNING TO GO ABOUT MY ERRANDS. I STOPPED TO PICK SOMEONE UP FROM THE HOSPITAL AND IT STARTED UP, BUT IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTED BUCKING AND SHUDDERING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SEEMED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND HE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF GETTING IT SERVICED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE REAR CAM POSITION SENSOR WENT BAD. I CALLED HALDEMANN NISSAN IN HAMILTON, NJ TO INQUIRE ABOUT RECALLS, AS I KNEW THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER HAD NO RECALLS. *TR
