2009 Nissan Murano complaints

EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS NOT REGISTERED IN THE CURRENT "CAMPAIGN" (NISSAN'S EUPHEMISM FOR A RECALL) NONETHELESS, MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH IS FLASHING, INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM MAY BE FAULTY. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX IT WITHOUT A FULL DIAGNOSTIC GOING OVER (ABOUT $100 FEE) AND DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT A PASSENGER IN MY CAR COULD GET KILLED IF THE AIRBAG FAILS TO DEPLOY. MY CAR IS A 2009 MURANO WITH ONLY 59,000 MILES ON IT.

DURING NORMAL BRAKING ON BUMPY ROAD AT ABOUT 40MPH , BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY DROPPED ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING CAPABILITY WAS MUCH REDUCED. DROVE HOME CAREFULLY AND CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL - OK. TRIED RESTARTING CAR AND AT REST THE PEDAL WAS STILL GOING ALMOST TO FLOOR. NO ERROR INDICATIONS ON DASH. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SYMPTOMS ON THE 2009 MURANO AND SUGGESTIONS TO RESET THE THE ABS MODULE. I PULLED THE ABS FUSE AND RESTARTED CAR AGAIN. PEDAL NOW FIRM AND FIXED. REPLACED FUSE, PEDAL STILL OK STRONGLY SUGGESTING THAT THE ABS WAS AT FAULT. THIS SUDDEN FAILURE RESULTED IN PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY AND IS THUS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT I HOPE YOU WILL INVESTIGATE GIVEN THE NUMBER OF ALMOST IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST BRAKE PRESSURE. BRAKES BECAME SPONGY AND ONLY ABRUPTLY STOPPED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. STOPPING DISTANCE WAS GREATLY INCREASED. UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE DUE TO HIGH CONCERNS WITH CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AFTER HITTING A BUMP. THE PRIVATE GARAGE AND DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THIS IS THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE. THEY SAID HE HAS SEEN OTHER NISSAN MURANOS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS ATTEMPTED TO PUT STOCKYARD ATS SYSTEMS IN OTHER MURANOS WHICH HAVE FAILED BUT THEN HAS HAD TO REPLACE THOSE BECAUSE THEY FAILED. THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED.

MY VEHICLE IS 2009 NISSAN MURANO. IWENT OVER A SLIGHT DIP LEAVING A BUSINESS PARKING LOT ON TO THE ROAD AND WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ENGAGING THE BRAKES. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. IF I DID NOT HAVE MUCH MORE THAN THE USUAL DISTANCE AVAILABLE TO STOP, THE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AS THAT WAS WHAT THE SYMPTOMS SUGGESTED, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER, WHO I WAS SURPRISED DID NOT KNOW OF THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH AN INVESTIGATION WAS UNDERWAY SINCE MAY. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE ABS ACTUATOR WITH A COST OF $2500 TO RESOLVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO SEPARATE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAULTY. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (HUDSON NISSAN IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA) INDICATED THAT THE ECU WAS FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,000.

I HAVE PULLED INTO TRAFFIC ONLY TO HAVE MY CAR NOT ACCELERATE CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. TODAY, THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO PULL OVER INTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID HITTING ME. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, I'VE TAKEN MY CAR INTO NISSAN SERVICE COMPLAINING ABOUT A RUMBLING NOISE/FEELING, THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY FAILS TO AND/OR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CAUSE OF THESE SYMPTOMS WERE NEVER DIAGNOSED PROPERLY. NOW THE SYMPTOMS OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY. THE LOSS OF SPEED AND/OR THE ABILITY OF NOT GAINING SPEED ALONG WITH THE NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC COULD CAUSE SOMEBODY TO HIT AND/OR KILL ME! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, TODAY I WAS LUCKY BY NOT GETTING HIT. A FEW WEEKS AGO, BECAUSE THE SYMPTOMS HAPPENS MORE CONSISTENTLY NISSAN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A TRANSMISSION (CVT) ISSUE. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED A DEFECT IN THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS, THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE RECORDS WHICH SHOWS I TOOK MY CAR TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT NISSAN SERVICE DEPTS. COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, JUST DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH, I DISCOVERED NISSAN'S CVT HAS ALLEGEDLY BEEN BLAMED FOR A COUPLE OF DEATHS AND MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENTS. IT'S A HAZARD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE ALL OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS. AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY, TODAY I WAS LUCKY, THE NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE! ATTACHED: UNFORTUNATELY AFTER MY NEAR MISS INCIDENT THIS MORNING THE OTHER DRIVER KEPT GOI

BRAKE STOP WORKING AFTER A HARD BRAKING. SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT A BIG POT HOLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. UPON BRAKING SUDDENLY DUE TO A RED LIGHT, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH, THE BRAKES LOST PRESSURE, AND THE PEDAL HAD TO BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO VEER INTO A TURN LANE TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE CARS STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT. AFTER BEING PARKED AND SHUT DOWN FOR 30 MINUTES, BRAKE PRESSURE RETURNED. THE VEHICLE HAS 59,817 MILES. IT RECEIVES REGULAR SERVICE ONLY AT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS, HAS NEW BRAKE PADS, AND FULL BRAKE FLUID. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE HAS DISPLAYED THIS BEHAVIOR, WITH THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRING SOMETIME LAST YEAR THOUGH NOT AS SEVERELY.

BRAKES CONTINUALLY LOSE PRESSURE WHEN BRAKING. OCCASIONALLY OCCURS AFTER HITTING A BUMP, BUT ALSO OCCURS RANDOMLY. CAR WILL STOP, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEMS RESETS ITSELF QUICKLY, OTHER TIMES IT IS LONG LASTING.

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD. I'M THE 2ND OWNER, AND MOST MAINTENANCE WAS DONE BY BYERLY NISSAN IN LOUISVILLE, KY. THE REAR BRAKES WERE JUST RECENTLY SERVICED WITH NEW PADS. AFTER THE SERVICE, A LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE WAS EXPERIENCED WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A FIGHT, BYERLY NISSAN REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER SAYING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. SINCE THEN, I'VE AGAIN LOST BRAKE PRESSURE. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS REGULARLY, WHICH MAKES IT MORE UNEXPECTED WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED / ADDRESSED AS I'M SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE WHILE PERFORMING A TURN AND HITTING A BUMP. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR UNEXPECTEDLY AND DID NOT STOP OR SLOW THE CAR. PRESSED THE BRAKE MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVENTUALLY IT WORKED.

LOSS OF BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE CAUSING INCREASED EFFORT TO STOP VEHICLE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS PADS GOOD AND SYSTEM BLED OF AIR CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON 35MPH ROAD AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH DRASTICALLY REDUCED BRAKING POWER

ON CITY STREETS, WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I TRIED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE FAILED TO STOP ON MORE THAN 20 OCCASIONS. AFTER PUMPING THE BREAKS AND PUSHING THE BREAK TO THE FLOOR SEVERAL TIMES, THE BREAKS WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THE BREAKS IN DECEMBER OF 2016, AND THE DEALER INDICATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BREAKS.

ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN ON A CITY STREET FOR A RIGHT TURN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT RESPONSE. AS I WAS NOT GOING TOO FAST TO BEGIN WITH, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TURN SAFELY. I CREPT TO THE NEAREST TIRE CENTER AND THE ABS SYSTEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PROBLEM.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN PAVEMENT. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND WAS ABLE TO RESTORE BRAKING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH FIRST INCIDENT IN APRIL 2015. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS. WAS KEPT OVERNIGHT BUT MECHANICS COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. IN SEPTEMBER WE TOOK TO MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED NEW MASTER CYLINDER. WORKED TEMPORARILY. JANUARY HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT AFTER HAVING TO HIT BRAKES HARD, HAD NO BRAKES. BEYOND FRIGHTENING. WENT BACK TO MECHANIC AND HE WANTED TO REPLACE ABS BUT ONLY NISSAN COULD MAKE REPAIR. BACK TO DEALER AND SPENT $2800 REPLACING ABS. BELIEVE IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THIS DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. SPENT A YEAR FEELING UNSAFE, NEVER KNOWING WHEN BRAKES MIGHT FAIL.

2009 MURANO LE WITH AWD. LOST BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AFTER ABS ACTIVATION AUGUST 2016 WITH 72,600 MILES ON IT. PURCHASED USED FROM NEW CAR DEALER WITH 22K MILES ON IT 02/02/2011. I TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT AND DROVE OVER A SPEED BUMP AT ABOUT 10 MPH ANOTHER CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I HIT THE BRAKES AND ABS WAS ACTIVATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND THE PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE BRAKES RESPONDED NORMALLY FOR A COUPLE WEEKS UNTIL I BRAKED HARD TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR AND THE ABS BRAKING AGAIN ACTIVATED AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER THAT THE BRAKE PRESSURE DID NOT RETURN ALTHOUGH I COULD STOP BY PUMPING THEM REPEATEDLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MOSSY NISSAN POWAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE ABS ACTUATOR AND ECU WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH AWD MURANOS. PART WAS $1822 AND LABOR $560.

ON 2 JUNE 2017, I WAS DRIVING EAST ON JIMMY LEE PARKWAY IN HIRAM, GEORGIA. AS I WAS APPROACHING INTERSECTION OF JIMMY LEE PARKWAY AND METROMONT DRIVE, I WAS THREE TO FOUR CAR-LENGTHS FROM THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT; THEREFORE, PUT ON MY BRAKES TO STOP. TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT AND MOVING SLOW DUE TO THE RED LIGHT. HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT ON MY BRAKES, MY BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO HAD SLIPPED AND WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FLOOR BOARD. REGARDLESS, MY CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE ' NEVER STOPPED. WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT GOING TO STOP, I PANICKED AND BRACED MY LEFT HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. ON IMPACT INTO THE REAR OF THE SUV THAT WAS SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT, MY LEFT HAND TOOK THE ENTIRE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT. CONSEQUENTLY, MY HAND IS CURRENTLY SWOLLEN TO DOUBLE ITS NORMAL SIZE. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN REAR-END DAMAGE TO THE SUV STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT AND EXTENSIVE FRONT-END DAMAGE TO MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO. POLICE OFFICER WAS NOT AWARE OF MY BRAKES. IT WAS NEVER DISCUSSED AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE CITED ME FOR ''.FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE'' ' WHICH IS INACCURATE AND WAS NEVER THE CASE. HOWEVER, HE INSTRUCTED ME TO DRIVE HOME SLOW WITH MY BLINKERS ON DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT HOOD AREA. AS I WAS DRIVING, I CAREFULLY AND DELIBERATELY STAYED AT LEAST 10-20 CAR-LENGTHS BEHIND THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO BRAKE SITUATION. BECAUSE, WHEN I PUT ON THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO SLIP TO THE FLOOR-BOARD; BUT THE SUV WOULD ONLY SLOW DO

MY FRONT BRAKES ARE SQUEAKY. EVEN AFTER HAVING MY BRAKES REGULARLY SERVICED WITH PADS AND ROTORS THE BRAKES STILL SQUEAK. THEIR HAVE ALSO BEEN TIMES WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AS EXPECTED. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO RE-ENGAGE THEM. ONCE THIS CAUSED ME TO ROLL INTO AN INTERSECTION WHICH LUCKILY NO OTHER CARS WERE NEAR ME. NOW MY FRONT LEFT WHEEL HAS STARTED MAKING LOUD SWOOSHING AND SCREECHING NOISES. THE FASTER I DRIVE THE LOUDER THE NOISE GETS. THE SQUEAK IN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS ALSO PRESENT WHEN DRIVING IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE CAR SERVICED ON WEDNESDAY. EVEN AFTER SERVICING IT MAKES ME NERVOUS THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE.

I AM WRITING REGARDING A RECENT INCIDENT WITH NISSAN THAT HAD AN ACTIVE RECALL. IT IS FOR RECALL NUMBER 08V521000 FOR THE 2009 NISSAN MURANO. I CONTACTED NISSAN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE IN THAT THE OCS CONTROL UNIT HAD AN INTERRUPTION IN SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT. I CONTACTED NISSAN LETTING THEM KNOW MY MAKE AND MODEL WAS LISTED IN THIS RECALL AND THAT I WAS HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED. I AM PREGNANT AND HAVE A TODDLER SO HAD I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, THAT IS 3 LIVES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AT RISK SINCE MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. AFTER REQUESTING IT TO BE REVIEWED, NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD PAY HALF OF THE BILL, LEAVING ME TO STILL PAY $912.00 OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND IS THE EXACT PROBLEM AND VEHICLE MAKE & MODEL THAT IS EXPLAINED IN THE RECALL. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE OTHER MODELS THAT THEY MISSED WHEN EVALUATING VIN NUMBERS AND OTHERS ARE MOST LIKELY HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FIXING MY VEHICLE WAS EVEN FIGHTING FOR ME AND SAID THIS SHOULD NOT RANDOMLY HAPPEN AND AGREED THAT NISSAN SHOULD PAY THE FULL AMOUNT AS IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT REGULAR MAINTENANCE THAT SHOULD OCCUR. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN. IF THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL AND YOU ARE HAVING THAT EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT MAKE & MODEL IN THE RECALL, IT SHOULD BE COVERE

WHEN I'M ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP WHILE I BREAK I LOSE MY BREAK PRESSURE. THE PEDAL GOES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND I CAN'T STOP. THIS IS ABOUT THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE TO PUMP MY BREAK FOR THEM TO WORK A LITTLE. BUT THEY STILL START TO GO DOWN AND THE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR WHEN IT FINAL STOPS COMPLETELY. THE MOST RECENT TIME MY BREAKS WENT OUT WAS FRIDAY MAY 19, 2017. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS STOPPING SO I STARTED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BREAK. WHEN I WAS DOING THAT I HIT A BUMP AND LOST MY BREAKS. THERE WAS NO PRESSURE. THE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. SINCE ITS HAPPENED BEFORE I PUMPED MY BREAKS ALMOST HITTING A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME AND A PARKED CAR TO THE SIDE OF ME BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO AVOID HITTING ANYONE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE FIX AND FIRST TIME WAS TOLD MY BREAKS WEREN'T BLED ENOUGH BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. I WON'T DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY ANYMORE BECAUSE I'M AFRAID MY BREAKS WON'T WORK AND CAUSE A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT. POSSIBLY HURT OR KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE WITHOUT HAVING HEART ATTACKS BECAUSE OF MY BREAKS LOSING PRESSURE AND NOT BE AFRAID OF DRIVING.

BRAKES LOSE PRESSURE AFTER HITTING BUMPS OR SLICK SPOTS IN THE ROAD REGARDLESS OF SURFACE STREET OR HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. ATTEMPTING TO BREAK CAUSES THE BRAKES TO BE COMPLETELY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND BRAKING DISTANCE IS DANGEROUSLY INCREASED. REMOVING THE ABS FUSE AND REPLACING IT WILL TEMPORARILY REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

IN EARLY SEPT OF 2016 WHILE EXITING OFF OF THE INTERSTATE I WENT OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE ON THE ROAD AND MY BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY SOFT AND ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. I COULDN'T STOP MY VEHICLE. I WAS SO SCARED AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. LUCKILY I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO I STARTED FURIOUSLY PUMPING THE BRAKES CONTINUOUSLY PRAYING THIS WOULD HELP. I WAS ABOUT A MILE AWAY FROM HOME SO I PUMPED THEM ALL THE WAY HOME. WE TOOK MY CAR INTO EDDIE TOURELLE NISSAN IN COVINGTON, LA. ON 9/6/2016 WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR BACK IN 2009. WE LITERALLY HAD A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS DUE TO EXPIRE. THEY CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER THINKING THIS WAS THIS ISSUE. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE SO FAR AND NOT GOTTEN INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHEN IT HAPPENS I IMMEDIATELY TRY TO PUMP THE BRAKES UNTIL THE PRESSURE RETURNS. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, THERE IS NO WARNING. SO VERY SCARED THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

LOSS OF BRAKE CONTROL

BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AFTER HITTING BUMPS. HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, AND TYPICALLY CORRECTS ITSELF AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, BUT HAS TAKEN DAYS AT TIMES. BRAKES DO STOP THE CAR BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT THE ABS SYSTEM IS SOMEHOW DISABLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8-10 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR, MY CAR HAS 106,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUMPED SEVEN TO NINE TIMES PRIOR TO DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CAR LOST BRAKE POWER AFTER HITTING A BUMP THE FIRST TIME ,AND THE SECOND TIME AFTER HITTING A POT HOLE,THE NISSAN DEALER SAID IT IS ABS SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 3,000 DOLLARS ,MY CAR HAS ONLY 49,500 MILES ,THEY HAVE ME SIGN A FORM THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

I EXPERIENCED LOSS OF BREAK PRESSURE WHEN GOING DOWN A DIRT ROAD SO I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM AND PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE NEXT DAY, DRIVING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD I LOST BREAK PRESSURE AGAIN AND HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED. ONE MONTH AFTER THAT I LOST BREAK PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING IN THE POURING RAIN AND HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING A SQUEAKING NOISE IN MY BREAKS WHILE MY CAR IS IN REVERSE. I HAVE REPLACED ALL FOUR BREAKS AND ROTORS AND HAVE HAD THEM INSPECTED BY THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHO HAVE ALL SAID THAT MY BREAKS ARE FINE AND IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT IS FOCUSED ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO. BEGINNING IN SPRING 2016 I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES OF BREAK COMPROMISE INCLUDING ONE THAT CAUSED ME TO GO THROUGH A RED LIGHT, THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. BRAKE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON FREEWAY DRIVING AND CITY DRIVING. THESE BRAKE EPISODES OCCUR WITH NO WARNING AND RESULT WITH THE BREAK PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THREE DEALERS. ALL THREE SERVICE CENTERS SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS CONDITION. ONE CLAIMED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I RECENTLY READ THERE ARE OTHERS TO EXPERIENCE THIS BRAKE PROBLEM. I WISH TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THEIRS. I HOPE THAT BY BRING TO LIGHT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT, THAT YOU WILL FORCE NISSAN TO STEP UP WITH A NO COST REMEDIATION.

FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS OFF & ON, EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO, MY BRAKES FOR A BRIEF PERIOD WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AS I WAS DRIVING, IT WOULD HAPPEN BACKING UP, TRYING TO STOP AT A STREET LIGHT, OR TRYING TO SLOW DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION. NEVER A SPECIFIC THING, ALWAYS ALMOST TO THE POINT OF NOT STOPPING. I HAD IT CHECKED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, ONE TIME THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID DON'T DRIVE IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT WORKED FINE WHEN IT ARRIVED THERE. THE FINAL TIME WAS THIS PAST FEBRUARY WHEN THE BRAKES STAYED TO THE FLOOR. NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED A ABS ACTUATOR, AFTER REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER FIRST, WHICH DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS REPAIR WAS NOT CHEAP. IT APPEARS THE ACTUATOR MAY HAVE BEEN THE CURE. AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME I STILL DO NOT FEEL COMPLETELY SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN PROBLEM THAT PERSISTED FOR SO LONG. I LOVE THIS CAR, BUT I AM IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING TO TRADE IT IN. I HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEM SINCE THEY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR.

STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH BRAKE PEDAL FEELING SOFT HAD BRAKE FLUID CHECKED, AND FLUID LEVEL WAS OKAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO FEEL OKAY. ON MAY 4TH 2017 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE AND WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD RIGHT BEFORE A STOP LIGHT. WHEN SHE TRIED TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, ABOUT 3 MILES USING THE BACK ROADS AND THE PARK BRAKE TO STOP. THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE ACTUATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST OVER $3,000.00. THE WORK IS SUPPOSE TO BE DONE TODAY. I HATE TO HAVE WORK DONE IF THIS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM A RETIRED NISSAN EMPLOYEE AND HAVE OWNED MANY NISSAN VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. THANKS

THE BRAKES ARE FADING AFTER I COME TO A STOP, MEANING WHEN I STOP AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WILL SLOWLY GO TO THE FLOOR. IT TAKES A GREATER DISTANCE FOR ME TO STOP.

THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS AFTER A QUICK STOP. I HAD TO STOP QUICKLY WHEN SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN THE NEXT TIME I WENT TO PUT ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN A FEW HUNDRED YARDS LATER, THEY DIDN'T WORK AT ALL AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO LET THE PEDAL COME UP AND THEN PUSH IT BACK DOWN SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO REGAIN PRESSURE. THE OTHER TIME WAS AFTER PULLING OUT FROM A STOP, THERE WAS SOME ICE UNDER ONE OR MORE WHEEL AND THERE WAS SOME SLIPPAGE AS I STARTED FORWARD. MY NEXT NEED TO STOP ABOUT A QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD, I WAS UNABLE TO AND THE PEDAL AGAIN WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO PUMP THE PEDAL MANY TIMES TO GET PRESSURE BACK AND FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK.

A CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES I HAD TO SLAM MINE ON TO AVOID A CRASH. MY ABS DEPLOYED AND I STOPPED WITHOUT HITTING HIM, HOWEVER MY BRAKE PEDAL NOW ENGAGES APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR BOARD. I STILL HAVE BRAKES BUT I DON'T THINK THE ABS WORKS. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. 04

MY BRAKES SOFTEN UP AND MY BRAKING DISTANCE INCREASES. MY VEHICLE NOW IS FAILING INSPECTION DUE TO THIS. THE ISSUE INCREASES WHEN I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD AND HIT THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL WILL LITERALLY REACH THE FLOOR. I HAVE CHANGED OUT ALL PADS AND ROTORS AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS OF ANY KIND ON OTHER BRAKE PARTS. THE ABS LIGHTS ARE NOT ON.

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR BOARD WHEN APPLIED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT ENGAGED AND BEGAN WORKING. ON THE SECOND OCCASION MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND HAD TO BRAKE AND SWERVED TO MISS HITTING THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO EXAMINED THE BRAKES AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A COMPUTER FAILURE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

BRAKING POWER REDUCED/LOST, EVEN WHEN FULLY APPLY BRAKES. (THIS HAS HAPPEND A FEW TIME, BUT THEY WOULD RESTORE AS FAST AS THEY WOULD OCCUR. ) THIS TIME, I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE DEALER VALIDATE BRAKE LOSE. THEY REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER AND THEY REPORTED ISSUE STILL THERE. THEY ARE NEXT LOOKING AT ABS. VEHICLE STILL AT THE DEALER.

TWO OCCASIONS ON SLICK ROADS, RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED (LESS THEN 30 MPH) BRAKES QUIT WORKING, PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. TAKES ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE MINUTES OF PUMPING BRAKES IN A PARKING LOT TO GET THEM WORKING AGAIN.

I HAVE REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER IN THIS VEHICLE TWICE. BOTH TIMES, THE BRAKES WOULD INEXPLICABLY LOSE PRESSURE, WITH THE PEDAL TRAVELING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE TWO REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE BY THE DEALER WITHIN A YEAR OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST WAS A WARRANTY REPAIR, THE SECOND HAPPENED OUT OF WARRANTY. I SAW AN ARTICLE INDICATING THIS PROBLEM WAS BEING INVESTIGATED AND DECIDED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT,AFTER PUSHING THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION,THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED LINKS AFTER THAT DOESN'T OFF. LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AFTER PUSHING THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION,THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THAT DOESN'T OFF.

AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR 2-17-17, I BEGAN HAVE DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A FULL STOP OR AFTER COMING TO A NEAR STOP. THIS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY AT FIRST, BUT HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE REGULAR. WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED THE OTHER DAY BEHIND A FEW CARS, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE FOR CLOSE TO A MINUTE. ALSO, OCCASIONALLY AFTER REACHING A HIGHER GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STICK IN A LOWER GEAR.
