ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
ON THE DATE LISTED, WHILE ENTERING TRAFFIC FLOW FROM A PARKING LOT, MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND ENTER THE "FAIL SAFE" (LIMP HOME) MODE WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD NO ACCELERATION. THIS WAS A SUDDEN FAILURE AND THERE HAD BEEN NOR WERE THERE ANY INDICATIONS OF ANY DEVELOPING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT WAS THE MIL AND THE PHYSICAL LOSS OF POWER. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT THE FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A T-BONE COLLISION SINCE THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING AT 50 MPH AND THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO RIGHT HAND EMERGENCY PULL-OFF AREA ON THE ROADWAY TO SAFELY PLACE THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE TRAVEL LANES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR UNDER WARRANTY REPAIR. THIS REPAIR TOOK LESS THAN AN HOUR AND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS DESCRIBE TO ME AS A DIRTY OR LOOSE ELECTRICAL GROUND TO THE ECM. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CRANKCASE (PCV)
OUR 2005 NISSAN MURANO WHICH WAS UNDER ONE YEAR WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF ENGINE PROBLEM STARTED THE FAILURE BY EMITTING UNUSUAL SMOKE FROM THE MUFFLER AND UNEXPLAINED SUDDEN SHAKING OF THE ENGINE WHEN ENGINE IS ON WHILE THE CAR STANDING. WE DROVE OUR NISSAN MURANO TO THE DEALER WORKSHOP NEXT DAY. AT ARRIVAL OF THE WORKSHOP THE SERVICE MECHANIC BROUGHT HIS COMPUTERIZED HANDHELD INVESTIGATOR AND CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS LOCATED JUST UNDER THE STEERING AND STARTED THE ENGINE. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A HUGE PILE OF THICK BLACK SMOKE RISING FROM THE BOTH MUFFLER OUTLETS. FROM THAT POINT OUR NISSAN MURANO WAS ADMITTED FOR INVESTIGATION ( SINCE END OF AUGUST 2006 ). THE DEALER REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE WARRANTY PERIOD AND INSISTED THAT ANY REPAIR TO BE MADE AT OUR EXPENSE. AFTER ALL POSSIBLE EFFORT TO CONVINCE THE NISSAN DEALER HERE IN DUBAI TO STICK WITH THE WARRANTY PERIOD, FINALLY WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO REPAIR OF OUR NISSAN MURANO AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. I INCLUDE HERE THE ESTIMATED COSTS AND DETAILS OF PARTS THAT NEEDED TO REPLACED. OUR NISSAN MURANO IS STILL IN THE DEALER WORKSHOP AND NO NEWS FROM THEM YET. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
EXITING PARKING LOT ONTO ROADWAY, ENGINE HESITATION WITH LITTLE ACCELERATION, AWD LOCK COMES ON, SERVICE ENGINE SOON COMES ON. TURN OFF ROADWAY, SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART, NO ACCELERATION POWER, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS STILL ON - CANNOT DRIVE VEHICLE. NEXT MORNING TOWED TO DEALERSHIP; REPORT IS A CODE U1000 - ELECTRICAL AND GROUND WIRE PROBLEM. TSB PROCEDURE FOLLOWED BASED ON THE CODE. HOWEVER, TSB SAYS IT APPLIES TO THE CODE ONLY WHEN NO MALFUNCTION INDICATORS LIGHTS ARE ON. THEREFORE, I DO NOT BELIEVE PROBLEM IS FIXED. ALSO, SINCE THEN A VIBRATION IS DETECTED THROUGH THE GAS PEDAL WHEN ACCELERATING. SERVICE MANAGER AND TECH TEST DROVE AND STATED THERE WAS SOMETHING DETECTED BUT NO FIX SINCE THERE IS NO TSB FOR THIS KIND OF PROBLEM.
