2010 Nissan Murano complaints

IN OCTOBER 2018, DRIVING IN A MODERATE RAIN SHOWER, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL NORMALLY AND FELT THE BRAKING ACTION START, AGAIN NORMALLY, BUT WHEN I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE, THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SERVICE FACILITY A FEW DAYS LATER, THE BRAKES WERE WORKING NORMALLY NOW. THE MECHANIC INDICATED I NEED NEW BRAKE PADS ON THE REAR WHEELS (THE FRONT BRAKES HAD BEEN REWORKED A YEAR PRIOR). AFTER THE REPAIRS THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN STARTED GETTING SOFT AGAIN, ESPECIALLY DURING RAIN; THIS CONTINUED FOR 2 MONTHS. IN JANUARY, 2019 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE. THEY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE PREVIOUS REAR WHEEL BRAKE REPAIR. I HAD NISSAN REPAIR THE REAR BRAKES AND BLEED THE SYSTEM. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD FOR 3 WEEKS THEN WHILE MAKING A TURN THE FRONT WHEELS SLIPPED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I LATER TESTED THE BRAKES (IN A SAFE LOCATION) BY "SLAMMING" ON THE BRAKES WHILE MOVING 30 MPH. THE BRAKES DID HOLD BUT MY FOOT FELT LIKE IT WAS ON THE FLOOR. THE SOFTNESS LASTED 2 DAYS BUT SEEMED TO GET BETTER WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AS OF THIS DATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED BUT HOW DO YOU FIX AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITHOUT THROWING MONEY AT IT? THE BRAKE PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS. T

BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WENT ON LAWN TO AVOID HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM THAT RANDOMLY APPEARS. 2009 HAD A VOL RECALL AND THE AFFECTED PARTS INVOLVED ARE IN THIS MODEL YEAR AS WELL. THE DATE CODES SHOW IT TO BE A 2009 PART. NISSAN WOULD NOT ASSIST US. BRAKE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. VEHICLE HAS UNDER 60K MILES ON IT. OVER $3000.00 FOR REPAIR

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS THE CAR HAS HAD VERY SOFT BRAKES, DEPRESSING TO THE FLOOR BEFORE WEAKLY BRAKING. IT SEEMED TO COME ON ABRUPTLY WITH NO CLEAR PRECIPITANT. PUMPING THE BRAKES TEMPORARILY IMPROVES THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR A NUMBER OF SECONDS. THE ISSUE HAS NOT PREVENTED US FROM DRIVING THE CAR, BUT EXTRA CARE HAS BEEN NEEDED IN MAINTAINING DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND WE KNOW IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. TODAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAYS THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE WITH THE ABS UNIT, BUT REQUESTED WE GET A SECOND OPINION DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF REPLACEMENT ($2500). I DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND SEE THAT YOUR ADMINISTRATION CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION ON 2009 MURANO'S FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. ON THIS COMPLAINT DATABASE THERE ARE OVER 20 REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 2010 MODELS, NOT TO MENTION THE MULTITUDE OF ISSUES REPORTED ELSEWHERE; HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OR INVESTIGATION. THE ABS UNIT ITSELF, WHEN SHOPPING FOR A REPLACEMENT, IS APPARENTLY THE SAME AS THAT IN THE 2009. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE 2010? ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT?

THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLELEY FAILED AND A REAR AXEL CAME LOOSE AND ALMOST LOST ATIRE DRIVING BEFORE THE BRAKES STOPPED AND FAILED IJUST HAD BRAKE FLUID PUT IN THE RESIVIOR TOO AND THEY STILL FAILED ON THE VEHICLE. *DSY

MY 2010 MURANO SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A LOOSE DRIVER'S INTERIOR SUN VISOR THAT HAS BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION AND WILL DROP DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE IT BLOCKS MY VIEW OUT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. FROM DISCUSSIONS AT VARIOUS NISSAN ONLINE SITES, I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM FOR ONE OR BOTH VISORS. SOMETHING INSIDE THE VISOR ITSELF BREAKS AND THE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY WHERE ONE SETS IT. I HAVE HAD MINE SUDDENLY FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING OR ESPECIALLY GOING OVER A BUMP, ROAD VIBRATIONS OR SMALL POTHOLE ETC. AND IT WILL NOT STAY UP, SO SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME IS BLOCKED. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE VDC, BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH. I HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BY NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THERE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEM. NISSAN RELEASED THE CAR TO ME KNOWING IT IS UNSAFE. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $3000.00 TO REPAIR THE CAR. IN 2009,2011,2014-2017 THE SAME PART AND PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THESE CARS AS WELL. WHY IS 2010 NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY? AND LOOKING FOR SOME HELP WITH THE SITUATION.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN TRANSIT DURIN MID DAY ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT STOPPED ACCELERATING AND STARTED MAKING NOISES. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD 126,000 MILES SO JUST OVER THE 120,000 EXTENSION. NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER IT.

BRAKES GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. ALMOST INVOLVED IN HUGE ACCIDENT! 2009 BEING RECALLED BUT NISSAN HAS DENIED OFFERING US HELP BECAUSE STATES NO OPEN RECALLS ON 2010 SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS 09'S OUR MECHANIC WILL NOT TOUCH BECAUSE STATES IT IS A DEFECT WITH MURANOS AND DOES NOT WANT TO BE HELD LIABLE IN CASE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN MY VEHICLE AS I DRIVE MY CHILDREN DAILY

THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED BACK IN AUGUST CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF MY VEHICLE I SPRAINED MY NECK NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT THIS SINGLE VETRAN HAS TO SAY I WAS PULLING INTO A GAS STATION AND THE BRAKES FAILED AND IT WAS OUT OF GAS.

TRUCK ACCELERATES SLOWLY WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STATIONARY POINT. IT'S A IF IT'S NOT GETTING FUEL OR THE GEARS AREN'T SHIFTING. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.

THE 2010 NISSAN MURANO IS DIEING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, AND HIGHWAYS WITHOUT WARNING. IT REQUIRES A JUMP TO START BACK UP THEN IT WILL START RUNNING AGAIN. THIS IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. REPLACED THE BATTERY ALREADY WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

THE VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM IS FAILING DURING SUDDEN OR QUICK STOPS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THEY COULD OBSERVE AT THE TIME. THIS WAS ON 8/23/18. THE BRAKES NEED TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, IF AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, 11/4/18. THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO STOP AND TOOK MULTIPLE PUMPS OF THE BRAKES.

THE BRAKES FAILED (I WAS IN MOTION) AND I WAS ALMOST IN A CAR ACCIDENT. AS OF RIGHT NOW, I HAVE NO BRAKES. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BY YOUR AGENCY AND NISSAN IS CURRENTLY CONDUCTING A "VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN." THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND THE SECOND TIME I HAVE REPORTED IT TO NISSAN AND YOUR AGENCY. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM NISSAN OR YOUR AGENCY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL NOT ONLY FOR THE 2009'S, BUT THE 2010'S AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ASAP. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED TODAY BECAUSE OF NISSAN'S DEFECTIVE PARTS (ABS ACTUATOR). THERE'S MANY ARTICLES ON-LINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME AND THE OTHERS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM? AS OF NOW, I HAVE NO BRAKES AND MY CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN.

DRIVING THE OTHER DAY, I HAD TO MAKE A FAST STOP AND MY BRAKE PETAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I BARELY MISSED HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOT A VEHICLE IN THE LEFT LANE. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR 24 HOURS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC THEY RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

I WAS IN ACC AN MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG POPED AS I WAS DRIVEN ON THE STREET AN A CAR TURN IN FRONT OF ME HIT ON PASSAGE SIDE FRONT AN MY AIR BAG DID NOT FILL

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE SUNROOF ABOVE THE DRIVER EXPLODED SENDING SHARDS OF GLASS ABOUT THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND ALSO UP INTO THE AIR. NOTHING STRUCK THE CAR AND THE BREAKAGE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD EXPLOSION TYPE SOUND.

AT 65,000 MILES MY MURANO REQUIRED THE CVT TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSFER CASE, THE RT FRONT AXEL (AND HEAD GASKETS) TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE MURANO HAS 150,000 MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN! THIS WILL BE THE THIRD CVT TRANSMISSION IN 150,000 MILES AND OF COURSE THE NISSAN 120,000 MILE WARRANTY WHICH STARTED WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW NO LONGER COVERS THE CVT TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE CURRENT UNIT ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES OF USE. WHY HASN'T NISSAN BEEN FORCED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION? (I ALSO HAVE A 2013 VERSA WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 65,000 MILES). BAD DESIGN THAT IS PUTTING CUSTOMERS AT RISK OF INJURY WHEN THE CTV TRANSMISSIONS FAIL AND DESTROY OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE DRIVE TRAIN. CURRENT PROBLEM: WHEN AT A FULL STOP THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE GAS CAN GO TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION IS INTERMITTENT AND CAN LAST FROM LESS THAN A SECOND TO SEVERAL MINUTES. A SHUT DOWN AND RESTART OF THE CAR MAY BE NEEDED TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON LARGE ROADS IN THE NORTHERN VA TRAFFIC. NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND BLOCKING MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC IN NORTHERN VA IS A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE.

SOFT BRAKES, RECURRING CONCERN, REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND REPLACED BRAKE FLUID, STILL THE SOFT BRAKING IS STILL PRESENT. PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER TO BRAKE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY BLINKING.

I PURCHASED MY CAR, USED, FROM NISSAN OF CANTON (MICHIGAN), ON SEPT. 23, 2016 WHERE THERE WERE NO DISCLOSURES OF ANY SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO STRUCTURAL OR OTHER CONCERNS. ON MARCH 15, 2018, THE RIGHT REAR OF CAR MADE A METAL SNAPPING SOUND AND BEGAN DRIVING POORLY SO I TOOK THE CAR TO AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO FOUND "THE REAR FRAME HAS ROTTED OUT WHERE THE TORSION ARM MOUNTS TO THE CROSSMEMBER". I WAS TOLD THE SUB-FRAME SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION SUCH THAT, THE CAR NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT UP FOR SALE BY THE NISSAN DEALER IN 2016 AS THE ROT AND CORROSION OF THE FRAME IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT WHEN THE CAR IS ON A LIFT, THE CORROSION, ROT AND EXCESSIVE RUST IS EVIDENT AND SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MISSED BY THE MECHANIC THE NISSAN DEALER'S USED TO ENSURE THE CAR WAS SAFE TO SELL. I TWICE CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION AND TO SEEK A SOLUTION. I SENT THE USED CAR MANAGER A PICTURE OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE THAT IS INCLUDED BELOW. THE DEALER SAID THE RUST MUST HAVE DEVELOPED SINCE I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR AND THAT THEY WEREN'T RESPONSIBLE. I REJECTED THIS AND ASKED TO MEET WITH THE USE CAR SALES MANAGER ON MONDAY, MARCH 26, 2018 WHERE I WILL ASK THAT THE CAR BE RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FULL REFUND AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR SOLD TO ME WITH SERIOUS FRAME DAMAGE, ROT, RUST AND CORROSION. I AM FEARFUL THE ROTTED FRAME WILL SNAP, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I OR OTHERS, MAY BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN K

I HAVE A 2010 MURANO AND FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAVE TO BE REPLACED. SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL ON THE 2005. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TWICE IN 3 YEARS. NISSAN RECALL THIS!

KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN 2010 MURANO CVT AND TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. CVT / TRANSFER CASE FAILED AT 96,000 AND THEY KNOW ABOUT HIS CONSTANT PROBLEM AND DO NOTHING. TRYING TO DEAL WITH NISSAN HAS BEEN A DISASTER AND NO ONE WILL TALK TO ME ABOUT PAYING FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. BOTH SWAY BARS BROKE BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION AND SHAKING FROM THE CV SHAFT

PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL DRIVING THRU ICY ROADS. THE CAR SKIDDED FOR A SHORT DISTANCE AS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT ALL OF THE TIME. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS PERMANENTLY ENGAGED. THE CAR IS STOPPING BUT THE BRAKES ARE VERY MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN. I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. IF SO, THIS MUST BE A DEFECT AS THE CAR SEEMS STUCK IN ABS MODE.

DRIVING NORTH ON THE I-15 FREEWAY, APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH (THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT), IN THE FAST LANE, IT WAS EVENING, DARK OUTSIDE, AROUND 7 PM. THERE WERE NO CURVES IN THE ROAD AT THAT TIME. ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY SUN ROOF GLASS EXPLODED WITH A HUGE BANG SOUND, EXTREMELY LOUD, AND IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS A LOT OF WIND NOISE. I HAD THE INTERIOR SUNROOF SCREEN CLOSED, THANK GOODNESS. OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE BEEN COVERED IN TEMPERED GLASS. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS I COULD, INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY A 2' X 1' HOLE IN THE CENTER OF MY FRONT SUNROOM. SHARDS OF GLASS WERE EVERYWHERE, AND THE INTERIOR NETTING WAS SHREDDED. I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME PLASTIC AND DUCT TAPE TO COVER THE WINDOW ENOUGH SO THAT I COULD GET HOME. IT WAS ALSO A WINDY DAY.

THE CAR IS LOSING POWER AT RANDOM TIMES THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL LURCH FORWARD AT FULL POWER. THIS HAS CAUSE ME TO ALMOST GET INTO NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. THE DEALER HAS ADI THAT SINCE THERE ISNT A CODE COMING UP THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING. IVE READ ON THE WEB THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THAT ITS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT THAT NISSAN WONT ISSUE A RECALL.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HI BUMPS IN THE ROAD, STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND WENT TO THE FLOOR, PUMPED BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY STOP. WENT TO SHOP, THE SHOP CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND SAID THE ABS WENT OUT BECAUSE THE ABS HAD NOT BEEN USED, THEY RESET THE COMPUTER NOW I HAVE BRAKES. THE SHOP TOOK CAR OUT AND LOCKED BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. WENT TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY CHECKED COMPUTER AND SAID THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES, NO RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COURTESY NISSAN (1777 N CENTRAL EXPY, RICHARDSON, TX 75080) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. *BF UPDATED 9/12/18*JB

THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IT STARTED WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR NOT UNLOCKING, ONLY ON OCCASION, WITH THE FOB. IT WAS A SLOW PROGRESSION BUT THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK IT EITHER. IT SLOWLY PROGRESSED THE EFFECT THE OTHER DOORS AS WELL. BEFORE WE KNEW IT, NO DOORS WILL UNLOCK WITH THE FOB OR THE UNLOCK BUTTONS. WE NOW HAVE TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND USE OUR HANDS TO UNLOCK THE OTHER DOORS.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED A LARGE POTHOLE A FEW YARDS FROM A STOP SIGN. UPON APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL "WENT TO THE FLOOR" AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN (VEHICLE SPEED WAS APPROX. 25 MPH). EVASIVE ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO NAVIGATE THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DRIVER LIMPED THE VEHICLE TO HIS HOME IN ORDER TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THE INDIVIDUAL WAS ABLE TO RESTORE THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO NORMAL BY HITTING THE ABS ACTUATOR AND CONTROL UNIT WITH A RUBBER MALLET.

MY MURANO WAS DRIVEN BY MY WIFE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN SUDDENLY THE SUV WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE THE STREET BLOCKING TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND RESTARTED BEFORE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAD SUV TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT CVT TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED. I HAS SERVICED TRANSMISSION FLUID 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE WITH 139,800 MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE NISSAN CVT{CONSTANT VARIABLE TRANSMISSION}, WE ARE NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE PROBLEMS. I MAY BE THE FIRST WITH A 2010 MURANO. I AM FEARFUL OF THIS VEHICLE AFTER IT $5000 REPAIR{OUT OF POCKET}, ESPECIALLY IF ON A BUSY INTERSTATE IN CHICAGO AREA DUE TO SUDDEN LOSE OF ACCELERATION.

BREAKS LOSE PRESSURE AFTER HITTING BUMPS OR WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ALREADY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME BUT VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR AND NOTHING THE DEALER CAN FIX BECAUSE THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO FAILED TO WORK WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY. THE BRAKES LOST PRESSURE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WAS SOFT. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, THE NHTSA IS ALREADY INVESTIGATING THE 2009 NISSAN MURANO FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKE IS DEFECTIVE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PART AS NISSAN NEEDS TO REPAIR IT AS IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART.

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AFTER A 90 DEGREE INTERSECTION TURN. PRESSURE LOSS IN BRAKE PEDAL AFTER THAT. NOW IT REQUIRES TO PRESS THE BRAKES A LOT MORE TO HAVE SAME BRAKING EFFECT AS BEFORE.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED & FALLING APART. IF YOU TOUCH IT ITS STICKY & PIECES START TO FALL OFF OF IT. MY FRIENDS TOYOTA CAMRY WAS OLDER THAN MINE & THEY REPLACED HER ENTIRE DASHBOARD FOR FREE. IN ADDITION THE NUMBERS ON MY RADIO HAVE FADED & ALL AROUND THE RADIO THE SILVER PART IS PEELING. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER ONLY 5 YEARS OF OWING MY CAR THINGS LIKE THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN. THE DASHBOARD TO ME IS UNACCEPTABLE.

CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WITH NO ERROR CODE, COULD NOT TELL WHAT THE ISSUE WAS UNTIL AT A POINT OF FAILURE CAUSING HIGH RPM CAR SLOWED DOWN IN TRAFFIC. JUST MADE IT HOME. WAITED UNTIL NEXT DAY TO GET IT TO THE DEALER, HAVE OWNED LOTS OF NISSANS IN THE PAST BUT NEVER ONE WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION EVEN ONE AT 400,000 MILES ON IT. TALKED TO DEALER MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL NISSAN VEHICLES. $5,000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION! WHERE'S THE RECALL?

MULTIPLE TIMES, OVER PAST FEW YEARS, AFTER 1 0R MORE HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED ( 70 - 80 MPH ) VEHICLE LOSES ALL ACCELERATION. OCCURS WITH CRUISE ON OR OFF. WILL MAINTAIN SPEED ON LEVEL ROAD. WILL LOSE SPEED ON ANY INCLINE.AFTER PULLING OFF HIGHWAY, TURNING OFF CAR AND RESTARTING HAS ALWAYS SOLVED PROBLEM; UNTIL TODAY ON I85 WHEN PROBLEM REOCCURRED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. FLOORING ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS NO AFFECT. I WOULD THINK LACK OF ACCELERATION COULD BE A PROBLEM IF TRYING A AVOID A CRASH

WHEN ENTERING THE INTERSTATE ON JUNE 5, THE CAR FELT LIKE WIND HAD SHAKEN IT. MY FRIEND, WHO WAS DRIVING IT, PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE HAD TORN COMPLETELY AROUND THE TIRE. WHEN I TOOK THE TIRE TO ORDER A NEW ONE, I WAS TOLD IT LOOKED LIKE A FACTORY DEFECT ALTHOUGH NO RECALL WAS IN AFFECT AT THE TIME.

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE FROM PARK PLACE LEXIS. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY NISSAN UNDER A RECALL AND DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON.

BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AFTER BRAKING ON LOW FRICTION (WET PAVEMENT), WILL BRAKE AFTER THE PEDAL HAS BEEN PRESSED ALL THE WAY. WILL CORRECT ITSELF AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES. OCURRS MULTIPLE TIMES, EVERY TIME THE TRACTION SPINS ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS.

MY FRONT DRIVER DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR DO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTONS ON MY KEY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT SOMEOME BREAKING INTO MY CAR AND STEALING ANYTHING. THIS ISSUE IS AN EXPENSIVE ONE TO FIX AND I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IVE BEEN TOLD ITS THE ACTUATOR TO THE PPWER LOCKS. ONCE ONE GOES THEN THEY ALL START GOING. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN PARK. THE POWER LOCK DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OR THE REAR RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR AT ALL. I HAVE TO OPEN THE DOORS JUST TO MANUALLY UNLOCK ANOTHER DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS, THE DRIVER SEAT MOVED FORWARD AND BACKWARD INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND UNLOCK. BAD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR MECHANISMS. $400-$600 TO FIX PER DOOR. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!!!!

1. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. SOMEONE CAN MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY.THIS FAILURE IS AN INTERMITANCE OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE DOORS LOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN ADDITION, SOMETIMES THE DOORS UNLOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. 3. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. AND THE MURANO'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT IT'S NOT EASY TO COMPREHEND IF IT'S NOT YOUR CAR, FOR INSTANCE A RENTAL CAR. I CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE CONFUSED HOW UNLOCK A DOOR USING THE MANUAL LEVEL IN AN EMERGENCY WHEN THEY VIRTUALLY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH IT. IN EMERGENCIES EVERY SECOND COUNTS. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INCLINE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO GO FORWARD, THE VEHICLE WOULD GO IN REVERSE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CDT TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

2010 NISSAN MURANO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE SURGE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE WAITING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE, THE ENGINE SURGED ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME, HE WAS ABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKE. THE SECOND TIME, HE IMMEDIATELY PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. *JB

BRAKE LIKE AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR JUST SHUT DOWN WITHIN 3 MILES. CAR ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. NEW BATTERY REPLACE A WEEK AGO

LEAKING TRANSFER CASE. ON MARCH 15, 2016, AT 72,549 MILES, THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO LE FAILED AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A LOWE'S PARKING LOT. NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES SO THEY REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION FREE OF CHARGE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME ON MARCH 22, 2016. ON MARCH 29, 2016 I NOTICED A BROWN OILY FLUID LEAKING ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME NISSAN DEALERERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS FINE BUT NOW I HAD A LEAKING TRANSFER CASE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TRANSFER CASE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND I PAID OVER $1300 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR IT.

WHEN MY HUSBAND PULLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE HANDLE CAME OFF IN HIS HAND. THE REPAIR COST $297.50 ( QUOTED PRICE WAS $350 AND WE HAD A 15% DISCOUNT COUPON) INTERESTINGLY THEY HAD THE HANDLE IN STOCK. ATTACHED PICTURE OF HANDLE SHOWS A HALLOW AREA THAT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE PART.

AT RANDOM TIMES, AFTER BRAKING OVER BUMPS OR IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD SURFACES, AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOSES ALL PRESSURE MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. WHEN DRIVING IT IN THE SNOW, AFTER THE ABS SYSTEM IS TRIGGERED, THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOSES PRESSURE, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AT ONE MOMENT, I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY DOWN A SNOWY HILL, WHEN THE BRAKE SYSTEM SUDDENLY LOST PRESSURE AND THE ABS ONLY ENGAGED AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AT THAT TIME, IT WAS TOO LATE AND I SLID THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH (WITH MY WIFE AND INFANT SON IN THE CAR). LUCKILY, EVERYONE ELSE WAS STOPPED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION, AND NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO OUR CAR OR ANYONE ELSE'S PROPERTY. SO FAR, THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS THERE IS NO RESEARCH BEING DONE BY NISSAN. THEY (NISSAN) NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE/ABS SYSTEM. WE LOVE OUR MURANO, BUT WE WILL BE TRADING IT IN ON SOMETHING ELSE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
