2003 Nissan Murano Complaint Log

JUST BOUGHT CAR 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO INCIDENT. STARTED HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP LIGHT. FOOT WAS DOWN TO THE GROUND AND CAR WOULDNT MOVE. CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION SO THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. SINCE MY CAR IS A 2003 THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY MATTER, HOW CAN THIS EXPIRE! IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BUT NISSAN WAS NO HELP! SEEMS THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION BUT CAN'T EVEN GET THE CAR TO GO MORE THAN 10MPH NOW AND IT IS STUCK AT DEALER! I AM STILL TRYING TO SAVE MONEY FOR THE TRANSMISSION THREE MONTHS LATER AND DEALING WITH HAVING TO PAY OVER $400 MONTHLY INCLUDING INSURANCE FOR A CAR I AM NOT EVEN USING!

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE SPEED OF 25 MPH THE CAR STARTED LOOSING CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND OBSERVED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL STARTED SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME. THIS WAS BECAUSE ENGINE CRADLE GOT RUSTED AN CRACKED. THE LOWER ARM SEPARATED. THE DEFECT IS DOCUMENTED BY THE DEALER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS THAT COULD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEED CHASING SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM THE FIST OWNER OF THE CAR. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND THE WAS GARAGED. *TR

BOUGHT THIS CAR AND PAID THE FIRST PAYMENT ON IT. TWO WEEKS LATER WAS HAVING ISSUES AND IT TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. ENDED UP BEING MY TRANSFER CASE. MY MECHANIC SAID HE WAS ABLE TO PULL IT DOWN BY HAND THAT WAS HOW BAD IT WAS. I HAVE PUT LESS THAN A 1,000 MILES ON THIS NEW FROM NISSAN TRANSFER CASE AND IT IS BUNNY HOPPING AND GOING BAD. YOU CAN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND IT GOES NOWHERE THEN BOLTS FORWARD. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY MECHANIC CALLED NISSAN AND NISSAN STATES THEY HAVE NEVER HEAD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS. REALLY?!?!?!?!?! THEY TOLD MY MECHANIC WHEN HE PURCHASED IT THAT IT WAS THE NEWLY DESIGNED TRANSFER CASE SAME DESIGN AS THE 2005 AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. YET THEY CLAIM THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. WHY WOULD YOU REBUILD SOMETHING IF IT WAS FINE AND HAD NO ISSUES. ANYWAYS, THE PART HAS A 12/12,000 WARRANTY ON IT, BUT I HAVE TO AGAIN PAY FOR THE LABOR WHICH IS $1800... IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS...WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR AGAIN! KEEP GETTING A CODE STATING THAT IT NEEDS A CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. I ALSO HAVE REPLACED TWO OF THEM @ $100 A POP! THIS IS CRAP AND NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX IT. THIS DANGEROUS AND WILL LEAD TO FATALITIES.

DRIVING CAR AND IT CUTS OUT WHILE IN MOTION. RECALLS: HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHRESULTSBYURLCODE.ACTION?REFERENCESEARCH.REQUESTID=45839&REFERENCESEARCH.URLCODE=VVANYOQL53PIMW1 RECALL SUBJECT : INTAKE AIR DUCTS/RESONATOR REPORT RECEIPT DATE: MAY 19, 2009 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V169000 COMPONENT(S): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING RECALL SUBJECT : WIRE BREAKING INSIDE ALTERNATOR , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) REPORT RECEIPT DATE: NOV 17, 2003 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 COMPONENT(S): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. *TR

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

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

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

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

TRANSMISSION , TRANSFER CASE, IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS. IT DIDN'T GO OVER 40 30 MPH I ACCELERATED AND WON'T DO MORE THEN 30, 40 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON ME. *TR

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

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 BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO MY MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE REAR SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED OUT ON BOTH SIDES OF MY CAR. I WAS TOLD IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THEREFOR I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. *TR

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

SEVERE RUST ON ROOF, NO OTHER PART OF CAR ONLY THE ROOF. *TR

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BATTERY WOULD BE COMPLETELY DRAINED INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WENT INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION COMPLETELY. . IT HAD TO BE RE-STARTED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. ONCE IN ,OPTION AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS IDLING EXTREMELY HIGH AND CONTINUED THAT WAY UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND SAT FOR OVER AN HOUR. STARTED. *TR

WHILE OPERATING AT 20MPH THE DRIVERS SEAT SUDDENLY BECAME UNSECURED CAUSING INSTABILITY ORIGINATING FROM THE REAR CORNER CLOSEST TO THE DOOR. VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS CAUSING HANDS TO TURN THE WHEEL UNCONTROLLABLY. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT LOOKS THAT THE BRACKET ATTACHING SEAT TO THE FLOOR KNOWN AS REAR LINK ASSEMBLY FAILED AT A WELD.

I WAS HEARING SOME REALLY LOUD NOISES WHILE ACCELERATING IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR TO THE "STALLING/NO ACCELERATION" ISSUE THAT I EXPERIENCED ON APRIL 9, 2014. I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY EXPRESSWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OR WOULD HESITATE FOR 5 SECONDS OR SO AND THEN IT WOULD "KICK" IN, ALBEIT SLOWLY. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW. *TR

2003 NISSAN MURANO STARTED AT 98,000 MILES. LIKE MANY, MANY THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME , WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN SUDDENLY LAUNCHES FORWARD UNEXPECTANTLY! NISSAN TRIED TO LOOK AS IF THEY ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFTEY FLAW BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD FROM 5 YR OR 60,000 MILES TO 10 YR OR 100,000 MILES. PROBLEM IS THE ISSUE A LOT OF THE TIMES STARTS OUTSIDE THOSE PERIMETERS SUCH AS MINE! EVEN MORE, IF THE VEHICLE DOES FALL IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY REPLACED THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION WHICH ALSO FAILS AS THEY ARE IDENTICLE! IN MY CASE THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD WHEN I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE THEREFORE NISSAN SAYS IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. HOW CAN A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE BE COVERED UNDER A TIME LIMIT? THE DESIGN FLAW IS FOREVER THERFORE THE SAFETY ISSUE IS FOREVER! SO MY LIFE IS DEPENDING ON YOUR HELP TO GET THIS RESOLVED. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF NISSAN PRODUCTS UNTIL THEY LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN MAKE GM, CHRYSLER AND FORD RECALL THAT ARE OVER TEN-YEARS OLD ; WHY CAN'T THEY REQUIRE NISSAN TO DO THE SAME THING? HTTP://HUBPAGES.COM/AUTOS/NISSAN-REFUSES-TO-RECALL-MURANO-DESPITE-MAJOR-CVT-PROBLEMS HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/PROGRAMDETAILS.PHP?MENU=2 HTTP://WWW.NAIRALAND.COM/456635/NISSAN-MURANO-2003-TRANSMISSION-PROBLEM LOOK FOR YOURSELF, GOOGLE WILL SHOW YOU HUNDREDS OF PAGES FILLED WITH NISSANS CVT TRANSMISSIONS FAILING! THIS SHOULD BE 100% LIFETIME COVERED!!!

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

2003 NISSAN MURANO; DRIVER'S SEAT IS LOOSE & ROCKS WHILE TURNING VEHICLE. PROBLEM AROSE A FEW MONTHS AGO. ? HAZARD IF IN ACCIDENT WILL INTEGRITY OF SEAT & AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT BE PROPER? PER NHTSB THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. REPAIR QUOTES @ DEALER EXCEEDS $1,500. NISSAN DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, ONLY MADE A SERVICE ADVISORY. NISSAN WILL NOT DO, NOR PROVIDE ANY REPAIR ABSENT PAYMENT. MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET & OWNER SITES OF THIS EXACT FAILURE/PROBLEM. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING IN OUR 2003 NISSAN MURANO, JERKING THE CAR (AND US), AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE PARALYZED IN NIGHT TRAFFIC IN THE FAST LANE. SEVERAL CARS NEARLY HIT US UNTIL WE COULD SAFELY STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY SCARED TO DEATH AND HURT FROM THE ABRUPT STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN ONLY CARRY US ABOUT 1 MILE AN HOUR ALONG THE SHOULDER UNTIL WE COULD GET TO SAFETY. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 80,100 MILES ON THE ODOMETER (OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD.) IT IS VERY WELL CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED. WE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER (WOODMEN NISSAN OF COLORADO SPRINGS) FOR REPAIR, AND ARE NOW TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY WILL CHARGE US $3,600 PLUS TAX FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY, LTD IS AWARE THAT IT PUT DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS MODEL YEAR, BECAUSE IT LATER EXTENDED ITS POWER TRAIN WARRANTY (AFTER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS) FOR THIS MODEL TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. AGAIN, MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 80,000 AND JUST WENT OVER THE 10 YEAR MARK. THIS PRODUCT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEARLY COST ME AND MY WIFE OUR LIVES. NISSAN'S MISTAKE IS ALSO NOW POTENTIALLY COSTING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. I WANT NISSAN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS DEFECT BY REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED IT'S CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND AM NOW WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. IT IS SOLELY NISSAN'S FAULT., AND IT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. I HAVE INFORMED MILLIONS AS A NEWS ANCHOR ACROSS THE COUNTRY OVER THE PAST 18 YEARS ,AND I NOW WORK AS A FREE-LANCE JOURNALIST WITH TWO NATIONAL NEWS NETWORKS, I WILL SHARE NISSAN'S RESPONSE TO MY REQUEST WITH EVERY LIVING PERSON IN MY SPHERE OF INFLUENCE THROUGH EVERY AVENUE OF BROADCAST AND SOCIAL MEDIA I POSSIBLY CAN. WE WILL SEE IF A COMPANY THAT PUT IT'S CUSTOMERS IN DEFECTIVE, DANGEROUS VEHICLES WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR

LOUD BANGING NOISE, LOUDER AS I INCREASE SPEED, NEW TRANSMISSION 3/2013. *TR

MY DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE LOOSE AND IS LIKE RIDING IN A ROCKING CHAIR. THE DEALER STATES THE REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $1,000. I STARTED SEARCHING ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF NISSAN MURANOS (MOST APPEAR TO BE 2003 TO 2005) WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. CLEARLY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH IF THIS SEAT FRAME BROKE DURING AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN HAS REDESIGNED THE PART TO BE MORE ROBUST FOR MODELS AFTER 2005, SO THEY APPARENTLY KNOW THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A NATIONWIDE MANDATED RECALL AT NISSAN'S EXPENSE, FORCED BY THE NHTSA BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING HOME (MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING) ABOUT 45MPH, AND THE CAR MADE A WHINNING NOISE THEN THE RPMS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN, THEN WHEN SHE PUSHED ON THE GAS THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. GOT THE CAR HOME AND MY HUSBAND SAID HE WOULD LOOK AT IT. EVERY TIME WE START THE VEHICLE MAKES A HORRIBLE WHINNING NOISE. WE WERE GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND IN THE MATTER OF A FEW DAYS A SQUIRREL HAD GOTTEN UNDER THE HOOD AND ATE THE MAIN WIRE CASING. SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO WOODMEN NISSAN IN COLORADO SPRINGS SINCE WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THAT WAS FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR HAD NO WIRING. THAT WAS 9-21-2013. WE GOT A CALL FROM WOODMEN NISS THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD BE AWHILE, WELL 12-21-2013 WE FINALLY GET A CALL THAT THE CAR IS DONE AND WE COULD COME GET IT. WHILE WE ARE WAITING FOR A CAR, I GOOGLED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH 2003 NISS MURANOS AND FOUND THE EXT THE WARRANTY TO 10YRS OR 120K, WELL WE ARE UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT 1 1/2 MONTHS OVER TIME. WE PURCHASED FROM OUR BROTHER IN LAW WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER. HE AND WELL AS US, TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED. NISS SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE IT IS OVER THE 10 YRS. I LOOKED BACK AT THE RECORDS AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR LEAKING TRANSMISSION... I TOO BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AS IT WAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THEY KNEW IT WAS BAD. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR DESTROYED BY OTHER MOTORIST, WHEN BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER IN LONG BEACH THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME THE CAR BACK WITH ALL THE DOORS NOT WORKING. AFTER HE ALREADY CHARGED OVER $400 FOR THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WE WERE UNABLE TO LOCK THE CAR, OPEN THE DOOR EXCEPT MANUALLY, AFTER A 3 DAYS WITH A RENTAL CAR THE NISSAN DEALER CHARGED ANOTHER $550 FOR A BROKEN ACTUATOR THAT WAS NOT BROKEN BEFORE WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER. COINCIDENCE, I THINK NOT, THE WEB IS FULL OF FOLKS THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. IT'S A RIP-OFF AND THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 10/23/13*LJ THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25MPH AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF AND TWICE WHEN I WAS AT A RED LIGHT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING. ALSO I WAS DRIVING IN THE HWY LAST WEEK AND THE ENGINE LST POWER FOR ABOUT 3 SECOND, PUTTING AT A GREAT RISK FOR A CRASH. THE OTHER PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THE PASSENGER DOOR ACTUATOR THAT STOPPED WORKING SO WHEN I LOCK MY CAR THAT WON'T LOCK PUTTING MY VEHICLE AT A RISK FOR BEING STOLEN. I CALLED NISSAN CORP BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WAS A RECALL ID # 78963 - ENGINE AND ENGINE NISSAN IS RECALLING 362,891 MY 2003-2007 MURANO VEHICLES. THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE RESONATOR IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE, MAY SEPARATE FROM THE RESONATOR WITH ENGINE MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION OCCURS DUE TO THE PREMATURE AGING OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE SHRINKING, AND BECAUSE OF THAT ENGINE MAY STALL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. HOWEVER THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR OF THE VEHICLE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE BECAME HESITANT TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

THE CAR STOPS IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND NISSAN DOESN'T CARE. THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL FOR THE SAME THING MY CAR IS DOING BUT BECAUSE MY VIN # IS NOT ON THERE THEY WON'T FIX IT SO I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION AS I DO. IT IS DISGUSTING THAT YOU PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR A RELIABLE CAR AND THEY N KNOW THERE IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THEY DON'T CARE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS BAD ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON ALL THE TIME ALARM GOING OFF ALL THE TIME. ENGINE BURNES OIL VERY QUICKLY. ALL THESE THINGS ARE WRONG WITH THIS YEAR CAR IT IS JUST A LEMON THAT U HAVE TO KEEP POURING MONEY INTO ANDS IT DANGEROUS ON TOP OF IT.

MY TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN OVER ONE MORNING, ONCE I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET IT CRANKED IT WENT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE STREET ANG JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNING, JUST SHUT OFF. *TR *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL ROAD, I DECIDED TO TURN BACK, I PERFORMED A LEGAL U TURN AND WHEN I TRIED TO REVERSE THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT PERFORM ITS DUTY. I WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND HIT THE DIRT CURB AND ALMOST WENT OFF THE CLIFF IF I HAD NOT PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INCIDENT. AS I GO ON THE FREEWAY I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE THE STEP MOTOR CANNOT PERFORM ITS DUTY IN MAKING SURE GEARS SWITCH AT A PROPER TIME. I WENT TO A TRANSMISSION EXPERT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE STEP MOTOR WHICH AFFECTS THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PART IS IN CHARGE IN MAKING SURE GEARS SWITCH PROPERLY. I WENT ONLINE AND I HAVE SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I HAD PASSED THE 120K MILEAGE MARK THEY COULD NO LONGER SERVICE MY TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE WARRANTY LIMITS. THIS MEANS I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $2,140.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION NOT INCLUDING LABOR. *TR

I AM PULLING INTO THE FREEWAY IN DALY CITY AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ENGAGE TRANSMISSION. I CRUISED GOING 10MPH FOR A MILE BEFORE I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE FREEWAY. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND SAT THERE THINKING ON HOW TO GET HOME. AFTER 10-15 MINUTES, I DECIDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREEWAY. I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE STREET AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD POWER. I DROVE IT TO MY TECHNICIAN THAT EVENING. OWNER OF THE SHOP SAID IT WAS VERY COMMON AND LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HAVE MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE NEVER REVVED EVEN THOUGH I WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE A 13 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND WOULD NOT LIKE TO THINK WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED IF I WAS STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION ON A BUSY STREET. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE THERE ARE PLENTY OF THESE CASES ONLINE. I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK ON THE TRANSFER CASE I HAD TO REPLACE AND NOW THE NEW TRANSMISSION I WILL HAVE TO BUY. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS DEFECTIVE AND DROPS DOWN IN DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. NO READY FIX AND REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PART IS OVER $200. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VISOR WILL OBSCURE VISION AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN OUR ROAD WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE ON HER 2003 NISSAN MURANO LOCKED UP AND LOCKED THE BACK WHEELS SPINNING HER INTO THE DITCH AND SIGN POST. SHE WASN'T HURT. I DID ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM, AND IT TURNS OUT THAT NISSAN KNOWS THERE WAS DEFECTIVE TRANNY AND TRANSFER CASES ON THE 03, AND 04 MURANOS. THEY EVEN ISSUED T.S.B.S TO THE DEALERS ABOUT THE DEFECT. MY QUESTION IS, WHY THEY AREN'T BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM? WHY NO RECALL? ISN'T YOUR JOB TO MAKE THE AUTO MAKERS MAKE A SAFE PRODUCT AND WHEN THEY DON'T, CALL THEM ON THEIR FAULTS. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF NISSAN OWNERS LIKE MYSELF THAT ARE GETTING NOWHERE WITH NISSAN. OUR DOMESTIC AUTO MAKERS HAVE TO LIVE WITH RECALLS, WHY NOT NISSAN? *TR

THE NISSAN DEALER TOLD US IN JANUARY THAT THERE WAS A FLUID PRESSURE DROP AND WANTED TO REPLACE SEALS FOR AROUND $1,700. IN FEBRUARY THE DEALER TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1,700 PLUS RESETTING THE TCM FOR ANOTHER $300. I BELIEVE NISSAN KNOWS FULL WELL THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS DESIGN AND THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THE FAILURE RECURRED. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) COULD BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000. *TR

I CLIMBED INTO MY VEHICLE (1003 NISSAN MURANO) AFTER WORK. AS SOON AS I SAT DOWN I HEARD A LOUD METALLIC POP AND THE SEAT SANK DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE. I REMOVED THE SIDE COVER OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND FOUND THAT A REAR SUPPORT BAR OF THE SEAT FRAME HAD BROKEN IN TWO PLACES. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOT RUNNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR

DRIVING AND ENGINE SHUTOFF!!!!!!! COULD NOT BRAKE OR ACCELERATE !!!! WAS TERRIFIED AS I WAS IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT WITH TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK! TUNED KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED . NISSAN SAYS THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER IT PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY DOWNSHIFTED. AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, THE ENGINE HAS HAD A ROD FAILURE. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THE CAR. *TR

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2012, USED- BAG AN HAVING ISSUES IMMEDIATELY, INCLUDING , NO HEAT, STALLING, WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN ON THEIR OWN IN WINTER- RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT FOR 1 WEEK, SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT THE FUEL PUMP. WE REPLACED IT AND TROUBLE CONTINUED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID TO TAKE TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC, A CERTIFIED NISSAN MECHANIC NOW LOOKING IT OVER AND CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, WE HAVE THROWN SO MUCH MONEY INTO TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK. OVERHEATS AND CAN NOT CLIMB EVEN THE SMALLEST OF INCLINE WITHOUT OVERHEATING, THE NISSAN COMPANY WANTS US YO PAY FOR ALL THE TESTING THEY REQUIRE, WE HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT DRIVABLE OR RELIABLE IN ANY WAY- AFTER 4 YEARS THERE IS STILL NO ANSWERS AS TO WHY IT WILL NOT RUN PROPERLY, SO DISAPPOINTING YO PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT LOOKS GOOD AND IS COMFORTABLE, AND HAS BECOME A LAWN ORNAMENT THAT STILL HAS A LARGE BALANCE TO PAY- DOES NISSAN PRODUCE THINGS THEY WALK AWAY FROM LAUGHING AT THE CONSUMERS FOR PURCHASING A NON REPUTABLE VEHICLE. SO AGGRAVATING TO BE TOLD IT IS OUR PROBLEM, FEEL AS THOUGH I COULD HAVE GONE TO THE JUNKYARD AND PURCHASED A WRECKED VEHICLE AND HAD BETTER RESULTS, WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON A VEHICLE WE PURCHASED WITHOUT THE RUN AROUND. SOUNDS LIKE THEY MADE A PROBLEM CAR FROM THE OTHER COMMENTS ON HOW OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES, WITHOUT ANY ANSWERS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING AND OVERHEATING AND NO PRODUCTION OF HEAT IN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ISSUE SINCE PURCHASING IN 2012 TO NOW 2016, JUST WOULD LIKE SOME SORT OF ANSWERS.

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC THE ENGINE ON MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO STOPPED, THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER CAR TO SAFETY, ANOTHER TIME WAITING FOR TRAIN TO CROSS APPROXIMATELY WAITING 12 MINUTES IN DRIVE AND IDLING, ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND MAKING LEFT HAND TURN CAR STALLED AGAIN ALMOST RESULTING IN ANOTHER VEHICLE TO HIT MY VEHICLE- CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THAT THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED FOR MY VEHICLE I THEN ASKED NISSAN IS IT DANGEROUS FOR ENGINE TO QUIT WHILE IN MOTION SHE EXPRESSED THAT SHE WAS SORRY FOR THAT TO HAVE HAPPENED- WHAT IF I WERE HIT WHOSE FAULT IS IT TO BE HIT IF YOUR CAR HAS DECIDED TO NOT RUN AT THAT MOMENT?THIS SAME OCCURRENCE HAS HAPPENED OVER AGAIN AND SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IT HAS HAD NO HEAT- RESULTING AS TO BEING AN EXPENSIVE SUMMER ONLY VEHICLE REALLY STINKS HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AND NO ONE HELPS- IS AT DEALER RIGHT NOW AND IS SAYING CAM SENSOR, HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ME TO FIX SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN RIGHT SINCE PURCHASE OF THIS NISSAN 2003 MURANO? I WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE HIGHWAY ROBBERY CRUD! *TR
