POWER TRAIN
GOT THIS CAR FROM MY BROTHER AND BEGAN DRIVING IT AT 104,800 MILES ON VEHICLE. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, WAITING TO TURN LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT, DEPRESSING ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS HAS SUCCEEDINGLY HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES, MORE OFTEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC FROM A STOPPED POSITION. MY MECHANIC HAS REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND CHECKED ALL CODES. STILL, IT IS CONTINUING. IN READING COMPLAINTS, BOTH AT THIS .GOV SITE AND OTHER WEBSITES, THIS IS A COMMON AND CONSISTENT FAULT WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR 03 & 04 NISSANS. NEITHER NISSAN NOR WWW.NHTSA.DOT.GOV HAS RESPONDED. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THERE IS A REACTION? IT IMPLIES NOT ONLY THIS, BUT ALSO THAT NISSAN UNDERSTANDS IT WILL DO BETTER FINANCIALLY DEALING WITH THE VERY FEW INSTANCES OF LAWSUITS. THE CAR QUALIFIES FOR THE LEMON LAW, IF THERE IS SUCH A LAW STILL IN EFFECT. IT IS WORTHLESS UNLESS I SPEND AROUND $5000. TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT IS FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH.

I PURCHASED MY MURANO BRAND NEW IN 2004. UNTIL RECENTLY THE CAR WORKED WELL ENOUGH, HOWEVER WHILES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY RECENTLY, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE MEDIAN SAFELY WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND RESTARTING THE ACCELERATION ISSUE APPEARED TO BE SOLVED. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AFTER I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FOR A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR TOOK OFF AS IF IT IS IN A DRAG RACE. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND THEN PUTTING IT BACK ON SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY SOLVE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THIS HAS BECOME A CONSTANT ROUTINE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP (AS IN TRAFFIC) IT STALLS. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, THE CAR TAKES OFF. TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING IS THE POWER TRAIN; THE COST OF WHICH TO REPLACE WILL BE UPWARDS OF $4000. AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE ISSUES I AM EXPERIENCING IS COMMON TO MURANOS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2003-2009 AND THAT NISSAN HAS STEADFASTLY REFUSED TO RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THESE FAULTY CVTS. THIS IS QUITE PERPLEXING AS MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES. IS NISSAN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE CVTS IN THEIR OLDER VEHICLES? PLEASE FORCE THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

THE SUN VISOR DOESN'T STAY UP AND FALLS DOWN, BLOCKING MY VISION (AN OBVIOUS DANGER). THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 MURANO YET NISSAN WILL NOT COVER A FIX.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 15 MILES. ONCE I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. IT STALLED UNTIL I APPROACHED MY DESTINATION. I TRIED PUTTING TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE VEHICLE AS IT READ IT WAS LOW WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN A MONTH SINCE I'VE GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE. SO MUCH DIFFICULTY GETTING UP HILLS. ONCE I'M ABLE TO GET GOING THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE, HOWEVER ONCE IM AT A STOP IT TAKES OVER 15 SECONDS TO ACTUALLY PICK UP SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE IN OLDER MODEL MURANOS THAT HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE NO WARRANTY LEFT ON THE VEHICLE WHICH MEANS I AM AT A LOST. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS AND I'VE KEPT UP ON ALL OIL CHANGES AND KEEP UP WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS FAULTY CVT NEARLY COST ME AND MY CHILDREN'S LIFE. THEY REALLY SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE AS A PART OF A RECALL

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, MY CAR WON'T REACT TO MY GAS PEDAL. IT HESITATES, THEN LURCHES BEFORE FINALLY CATCHING UP TO SPEED. I'VE GONE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT COUNTLESS MURANO OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME FRONT TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS IN THEIR LATE MODEL CARS AND THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ALTHOUGH TOYOTA HAS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A DEFECT WHICH THEY APPARENTLY CORRECTED IN THEIR NEWER MODELS, BUT CONTINUES TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE OF US WHO OWN 2004 MODELS OR OLDER.

POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT HAVING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BOTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE THROTTLE BOTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SUSPENSION
THE DATE ON THIS FORM COULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST DATE NOT REALLY SURE, THE MOST RECENT WAS ONE OF THE FRIGHTENING TIMES THE VEHICLE STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET ABOUT (4) FOUR TIMES. THIS WAS TRAUMATIZING WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY SEVERAL VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ONE TIME REPORTED TO NHTSA, WE WERE IN THE VEHICLE DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT A WARNING THE VEHICLE STOPPED. NO JERKING , NO WARNING LIGHT, NOTHING. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WE WERE IN DANGER AND MY GRAND DAUGHTER WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH US SHE WAS VERY SCARED THIS WAS TRAUMATIZING FOR US ALL. IF THIS IS NOT ALL ALREADY THIS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST. IF THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE REPAIRED, OR REPLACED. AT THE COST AND EXPENSE OF THE MAKER OR NHTSA I FEEL MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPLACED. *TR

THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP AT TIMES. SEEMS MORE OFTEN TO HAPPEN WHEN CAR IS WARM AND HAS BEEN IN USE FOR A MIN OF 30 MIN. SOMETIMES THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED 1/4 OR 1/2 OR EVEN TO THE FIREWALL. SOMETIME THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD AND GIVE IMPRESSION THAT IT WILL RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL INPUT BUT THEN STALL ( MOTOR DOES NOT STOP BUT FORWARD MOTION DOES). THE REAL PROBLEM IS WHEN CROSSING MOVING TRAFFIC WITH THE TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH THAT I PULL OUT AND THEN STALL. ITS RUSSIAN ROULETTE. NISSAN DEALER SAYS IT COULD BE X,Y OR Z AND I CANNOT START TO CHANGE PARTS WHERE NISSAN CANNOT AFFIRM WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS IN MY OPINION CLOSE TO A "DEATH TRAP" DUE TO THIS STALLING. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE ITS THE TRANSMISSION AS SOMETIME IT WORKS FINE. COMPONENT OF CAUSATION IS UNKNOWN BUT WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS IT SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED BY NOW OR WILL IT TAKE A DEATH TO GET THE WHEELS IN MOTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD GO DOWN WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THE WINDOW. THE REMOTE QUIT WORKING, REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE, DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. DROVE ABOUT 75 MILES. PARKED & SHUT OFF THE CAR & TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, LOCKED THE CAR MANUALLY, CLOSED THE DOORS, THE DRIVER SIDE & PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN. UNLOCKED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITH THE KEY, THE ALARM WENT OFF. COULD NOT GET THE ALARM TO GO OFF, SINCE THE REMOTE DOES NOT WORK. IT STOPPED ALL BY ITSELF ABOUT 1 MINUTE LATER. ROLLED THE WINDOWS BACK UP & CLOSED THE DOOR & WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN AGAIN. THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE +BATTERY CABLE TO GET IT TO STOP. I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE & THE ALARM STARTED GOING OFF AGAIN. I HAD TO LOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, RECONNECT THE +BATTERY CABLE & UNLOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WITH THE KEY. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN TO A REPAIR SHOP YET. THAT'S NEXT...

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH IN THE PARKING GARAGE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS TAPPED. THE CONTRACT ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT IT HAD LITTLE EFFECT. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT AND HIS WIFE SUSTAINED FRACTURED RIBS AND SPINE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SEAT BELTS
MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT ON ROAD TRIP FROM ATLANTA TO TAMPA. HE BEGAN COMPLAINING HIS SEAT BELT WOULD WAS STUCK, AND WITHIN A MINUTE BEGAN TO PANIC AS IT CONTINUED TO TIGHTEN EACH TIME HE MOVED. I GLANCED BACK TO SEE HE HAD TROUBLE BREATHING BECAUSE THE BELT SO TIGHT AGAINST HIS STOMACH THAT HIS SKIN AND FAT WAS FOLDED AROUND BELT. I MADE EMERGENCY EXIT AND RAN IN STORE FOR SCISSORS. THEY DID NOT HAVE, BUT HAD A KNIFE I WAS ABLE TO CUT IT IN TIME. HIS STOMACH WAS RED AND SORE. HE WAS VERY SCARED. NOW I CARRY A TOOL TO CUT BELTS. I FILED REPORT WITH NISSAN, AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO REPLACE IT. I PAID TO REPLACE IT AND THEY ORDERED 3 SEAT BELTS PARTS AND ALL WERE FAULTY AND THEY COULD NOT INSTALL. THEY MANUFACTURED ANOTHER PART AND INSTALLED IT. THESE BELTS ARE FAULTY AND COULD KILL PEOPLE. THERE SHOULD BE SOME EMERGENCY RELEASE TO PREVENT THIS. SINCE A CAR DOES NOT COME WITH A KNIFE OR SCISSORS, AND FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN WOULD NOT LEAVE EITHER IN A REACHABLE PLACE, THE CAR NEEDS TO HAVE WAY TO ALLOW A PARENT TO RESCUE CHILD FROM A FAULTY LOCKING SEAT BELT. NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE RELEASE MECHANISM IN CARS AND HAVE NISSAN RECALL / REPLACE ALL FAULTY SEATBELTS REGARDLESS YEAR OR MILEAGE. THIS SHOULD BE A STRICT STANDARD TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH BY MALFUNCTIONING SEATBELTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD THE EXACT SYMPTOMS APPEAR IN MY MAKE/MODEL AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL ID #36089. THIS WAS A RECALL PUT OUT BY NISSAN MANY YEARS BACK ON SIMILAR VEHICLES. "AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE ALTERNATOR CAN OCCUR DURING WIRE FATIGUE CAUSED BY MOVEMENT OF THE ROTOR COIL DURING RAPID CHANGES IN ENGINE SPEED IN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT). HIGHER ENGINE COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE IN THE MURANO COMPARED TO OTHER NISSAN MODELS MAY ALSO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE WIRE FATIGUE. WHEN AN OPEN CIRCUIT OCCURS IN THE ALTERNATOR, THE CHARGE WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LAMPS COME ON. IF A DRIVER DOES NOT SEEK REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AS INSTRUCTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND CONTINUES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION, THE VEHICLE WILL OPERATE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT ONE HOUR. AFTER THIS TIME PERIOD, THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WILL DROP TO A LEVEL THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE TO FALL INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE. DURING FAIL SAFE MODE, WHICH LASTS ABOUT TEN MINUTES, VEHICLE SPEED WILL BE REDUCED DUE TO A THROTTLE PLATE BEING HELD IN A FIXED POSITION. AFTER THIS TIME PERIOD, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING." DESPITE MY MODEL YEAR AND MANUFACTURING DATE FALLING WITHIN THE WINDOW FOR THAT RECALL, MY SPECIFIC VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE ISSUE WAS AS DESCRIBED AND REPAIRED AS A FAILED ALTERNATOR. IN EFFORTS TO GET FURTHER ANSWERS AS TO THE FAULTY PART OR RECALL APPLICABILITY FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES AT NISSAN, I HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH NO REAL ANSWERS AND AM THEREFORE FILING THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT.

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY HARD ALL OF A SUDDEN DURING DRIVING. AND EVER SINCE THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT (ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE) TO MAKE A BIG TURN, ON EITHER SIDE. THIS HAPPENED DURING PARKING, WHEN THE CAR WAS SPEEDING UP OR SLOWING DOWN (10 TO 30 MPH) AND ALSO ON HIGHWAY (UP TO 65 MPH). FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED BUT IT IS BELIEVED THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE UNDER SUCH CONDITION.

TRANSMISSION WOULD PERIODICALLY STOP WORKING. WAS REPLACED BY NISSAN UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. ELEVEN MONTHS LATER AND 17,000 MILES TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING AGAIN DUE TO CROSS CONTAMINATION FROM RADIATOR. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME ABOUT THE RADIATOR PROBLEM AT THE TIME ON INSTALLING THE NEW TRANSMISSION. I WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A NEW ONE MYSELF. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TOO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING SINCE THE LEAK IS INTERNAL. FROM WHAT THE MECHANICS ARE TELLING ME. THAT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO HAPPEN. MY CAR BLUE BOOK VALUE WENT FROM $8500 HIGH END TO $1000. MY CAR NOW HAS 123,634 MILES ON IT NOW. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
JUST GOT THIS MURANO. THE OTHER DAY WENT TO GO TAKE OFF FROM A LIGHT. AND THE MURANO WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. FINALLY LIMPED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF, TURNED CAR ON, WAS FINE FOR A DAY OR TWO. AFTER DRIVING TO GROCERY STORE, LEFT PARKING LOT. STOPPED AT LIGHT. WENT TO TAKE OFF AND WOULDN'T EVEN REV UP, I HAD A BABY AND A SMALL CHILD IN MY CAR, CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO GO UP ON SIDEWALK IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS IS NOW HAVE HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT HAPPENS I HAVE TO FLOOR IT FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS BEFORE IT ENGAGES THE THROTTLE. HAVE READ THAT IT CAN BE EVERYTHING FROM A BAD GROUND, CVT FAILURE, TRANSFER CASE FAILURE, OR THE IPDM OR ECM IS FRIED. MECHANIC CAN'T NARROW IT DOWN TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NISSAN WANT TO CHARGE ME OVER $100 JUST TO DIAGNOSE IF THEY CAN. AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ THEY WON'T EVEN DO MUCH BETTER THAN SUGGEST CHANGING OUT THE TRANSMISSION FOR A COST OF $6,000. WHY AM I CHANGING TRANSMISSION ON A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES? I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED, MY FAMILY HAS OWNED DATSUN/NISSANS FOREVER. MY DAD STILL HAS HIS 76 280 Z. MY MOM STILL HAS HER 79 280 Z 2+2. MY MOM ALSO HAS HER 95 NISSAN HARDBODY, WHICH HAS BEEN THROUGH HELL AND NEVER ONCE HAS HAD A PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF NISSANS FOREVER BECAUSE OF THE RELIABILITY AND EASE IN WHICH YOU CAN FIX THEM. I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN FOR NOT COVERING THE PROBLEMS OR RECALLING ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THE MURANO. MY FAMILY MYSELF AND MY FRIENDS HAVE NOW OFFICIALLY DECIDED TO BOYCOTT NISSAN, THEY HAVE NOW LOST LIFE-LONG CUSTOMERS. ON A SIDE NOTE. ELECTRONIC THROTTLES OR FLY BY WIRE, IS THE DUMBEST THING IN THE WORLD. IF YOU HAVE A BURNT OUT BULB NO THROTTLE, CHANCE OF ACCIDENT GREATER THAN 90%. FAULTY STEREO, NO THROTTLE CHANCE OF ACCIDENT GREATER THAN 90%. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHOM SEES A BAD PATTERN HERE? *TR
