2009 Nissan Murano Complaint Log

WE WERE DRIVING AND THE CAR LOST SPEED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY HAD FAILED. THIS WAS THE SECOND NEW BATTERY. THEN, THE CAR RAN UNTIL THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AND AGAIN THE CAR STOPPED ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. AGAIN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THIS TIME THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD ALTERNATOR. QUESTIONS BOUGHT UP THAT THE 2008 NISSAN MURANOS HAD A CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT NOT THE 2009. PROBLEM IS THAT WITHOUT WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM, THE CAR BATTERY GOES DEAD AND THE CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THE RISK OF CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT IS EXTREME. *TR

I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WITH THIS MANY BLIND SPOTS! I HAVE HAD SO MANY "CLOSE CALLS" AND IT FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO ME. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE AND BACKED INTO A CAR. THE CAR WAS DOUBLE PARKED BUT I LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS AND OVER MY SHOULDER AND NEVER SEEN THE CAR. THIS BEING SAID, I WAS ALREADY SCARED OF MY MURANO PRIOR TO THIS BECAUSE OF THE SIDE BLIND SPOTS. I HAVE ALMOST HIT PEDESTRIANS, CARS, AND BICYCLISTS CROSSING THE STREET ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WHERE THE SIDE MIRRORS ARE IS WAY TO BIG, ALONG WITH THE MIRRORS, THERE IS A HUGE BLIND SPOT. I HAVE BEEN VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN TURNING BECAUSE OF THIS BUT NEVER REALIZED HOW THE BLIND SPOT IN THE SIDE REAR WAS I TILL I HIT THAT CAR. THE REAR BACK WINDOWS ARE SMALL BUT THE ISSUES IS THE WINDOWS ARE TO HIGH AND THE BODY IS AT AN UPWARD SLANT LEAVING NO VIEW WHEN LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER. THIS GIVES PEOPLE A SENSE THAT THEY CAN SEE BUT YOU CAN NOT SEE A CAR SITTING AT YOUR REAR QUARTER PANEL. WITH ALL OF THE BLIND SPOTS I AM AFRAID I WILL RUN OVER A PEDESTRIAN WALKING ACROSS THE STREET AS I AM TURNING AND NOW AFRAID I WILL BACK INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE DUE TO THE SIDE REAR BLIND SPOTS. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW SEAL ON THE TRANSFER CASE. IF I DID NOT DO THIS THE CAR WOULD LOCK UP AND NOT MOVE. THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE 1500 TO 3800 DOLLARS. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAS A HISTORY WITH ITS POWER TRAINS AND SHOULD NOT EXPECT A CUSTOMER TO REPAIR IT AND BE TOLD THAT IT JUST HAPPENS AND WILL AGAIN WITH SUCH MINIMAL MILEAGE. I HEARD A FEW OTHER CUSTOMERS BEING TOLD THAT THEY ALSO HAD MAJOR REPAIRS THAT WERE NEEDED WHEN GOING IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. IT DOES APPEAR THAT DEALERSHIPS HAVE A WAY TO EXTORT LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FROM PEOPLE IN A STRUGGLING ECONOMY! *TR

AFTER STARTING FROM A COLD START (PARKED OVERNIGHT) I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO PRIOR SIGN OF BRAKE FAILURE AND THE CAR STILL COULD STOP, JUST NOT AS QUICKLY OR FIRMLY AS NORMAL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED A LEAKING MASTER CYLINDER BUT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT. AFTER THE SHOP REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLEED THE SYSTEM THEY FOUND ANOTHER LEAK IN THE ABS CONTROLLER/ECU MODULE. AN INTERNAL LEAK, AND NO REPAIR IS POSSIBLE. THE SHOP SAYS THEY HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN AND LOOKED ONLINE BUT FIND NO INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER SIMILAR BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURES, NO TSB'S, NO RECALLS. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT TWO CRITICAL BRAKE PARTS COULD BOTH BE LEAKING AND FAILING, AND THE CAR SHOWED NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS, NO ABS WARNING LIGHTS, NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM WHILE THE BRAKES HAD OBVIOUSLY ALREADY FAILED. THIS IS A FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE SINGLE-OWNER VEHICLE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. THE FAILED PARTS (BRAKE MASTER AND ABS CONTROLLER/ECU ARE BEING HELD AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

CAR WOULD NOT START, EVERYTHING WORK IN THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD START, PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR AND IT WORK. A COUPLE OF DAYS WENT BY (CAR STARTED EVERY TIME) ONE DAY CAR DID THE SAME THING GOT ANOTHER BATTERY FOR IT AND CAR STARTED AND RAN, 3RD TIME WAS DOWN TOWN THE CAR WOULD NOT RUN IT STARTED BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. GOT IT HOME FINALLY STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY CAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THE SECURITY ON WHY IT WOULDN'T DRIVE. I STARTED THE CAR TO LET IT WARM UP, WENT OUT 10 MIN. LATER AND THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING. GOT ANOTHER BATTERY CAR STARTED TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CENEX THEY CHECK THE CAR AND SAID THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT WORKING. THEY DID A TEST, WHEN I WOULD TURN MY LIGHTS ON AND HEAT THE BATTERY WAS DRAINING. MY SON CHARGED THE LAST BATTERY THAT WAS IN MY CAR AND IT TOOK THE CHARGE AND STILL IS, SO 3 BATTERY CANT BE BAD. CALLED NISSAN TO SEE ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY NISSAN, NO MY CAR WAS NOT, I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT PUT MY CAR ON THE LIST. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND NOT SURE WHERE IT CAME FROM MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT, IF THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD COVER IT..PLUS THE CLOSES NISSAN DEALER IS 3 TO 4 HOURS AWAY. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. EVERYTHING IS STICKY AND STARTING TO GLARE, WHICH IMPEDES VISIBILITY. WHY CAN'T THERE BE A RECALL TO MAKE THESE AUTO MAKERS STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS? THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO OUR 2004 INFINITI. THE DASHBOARD BUBBLED, AND BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL, THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY OWNERS. BUT THEY DID REPLACE THEM IF YOU BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION. IT WAS A SECRET THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO LET OWNERS KNOW ABOUT, SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO REPAIR, UNLESS YOU INSISTED ON IT. OUR INFINITI WAS SERVICED REGULARLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY DIDN'T NOTICE THE HUGE BUBBLING EFFECT ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD! WHY ISN'T NHTSA DOING SOMETHING FOR THE CONSUMER? ARE THEY ON THE AUTOMAKERS PAYROLL? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED AT THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSFER CASING WAS LEAKING FLUID AND NEEDED TO BE RESEALED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEFECT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY STALL. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE LEFT FRONT AXLE SHAFT WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

PURCHASE A 2009 NISSAN MURANO WAS TOLD IT HAD A BRANDED TITLE FROM CARFAX. CALLED 1800NISSAN 1 BEFORE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND ASKED THEM TO RUN THE VIN NUMBER AND THE LADY WAS ABLE TO TELL ME THE WHOLE HISTORY BUT SAID THEY HAD NO RECORD THAT IT WAS A FACTORY BUYBACK SAID PROBABLY A MISTAKE WITH THE STATE WHO TITLED THE CAR. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHICH IS STILL COVERED BY NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS BRANDED AND ADMITTED TO ME ON A RECORDED LINE THE PERSON I TALKED TO GAVE ME FALSE INFORMATION. ALL SHE COULD SAY WAS SORRY THERE IS NOTHING NISSAN WILL DO FOR ME. I LEARNED THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BACK BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS AND WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASE THIS VEHILE KNOWING THAT. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY. IVE WORKED IN THE CAR INDUSTRY FOR 16 YEARS AND I MADE SURE TO CALL TO FIND OUT WHAT ISSUES THAT VEHICLE HAD AND BOUGHT IT BECUASE THE REP I TALKED TO AT NISSAN SAID THERE WAS NO RECORD IT WAS EVER PURCHASED BACK OR NEVER TOLD ME IT HAD AIRBAG PROBLEM. THE LADY ADMITTED HER REP TOLD ME WRONG INFO AND ALL I CAN GET IS SORRY AND NOW IM GOING TO BE OUT $3800 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. ITS WRONG AND NISSAN NEED TO DO SOMETHING BETTER THEN SORRY FOR ME. IF I HAD THIS INFORMATION FROM NISSAN WHEN I CALLED WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP ME ANY WAY YOU CAN THANKS.

I AM THE 'SECOND' OWNER. THE VEHICLE WAS GIFTED TO ME BY MY SON. IT PASSED THE AUTOCHECK VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE 5/11/13. FAILURE MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATE. WHEN STARTING ENGINE HUGE AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE EXITS THE 2 EXHAUST PIPES ENGULFING ENTIRE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED CONTINUALLY EVERY TIME I STARTED ENGINE. CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIRECTLY & WAS REFERRED TO DEALERSHIP. MY SON SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE REQUIRED 30,000 MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED. AFTER 1 WEEK DEALERSHIP RECOMMEND NEW ENGINE. I WAS 6 MONTHS PAST THE WARRANTY DATE, BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO HONOR IT AS I WAS A SECOND OWNER. PER MY SON'S INSTRUCTIONS DEALERSHIP REMOVED SPARK PLUGS TO SOAK TOPS OF PISTONS. LET SOAK OVER NIGHT. PERFORMED A LEAK DOWN TEST TO FIND ALL THE CYLINDERS WITH 60% OR MORE LEAKAGE FROM RINGS AND VALVES, REMOVED OIL & PERFORMED 2 ENGINE FLUSHES, CLEANED ALL OIL OUT OF INTAKE MANIFORD, REINSTALLED PLUGS, CHANGED OIL AGAIN, PERFORMED MULTIPLE ROAD TESTS. PRECEDING SERVICE INCLUDED REPLACING ENGINE AIR FILTER. PERFORMING IDLE LEARNING PROCEDURE. FUEL SYSTEM SERVICED, CLEANED FUEL INJECTORS & THROTTLE BODY. REMOVED ALL BUILD UP FROM THROTTLE CHAMBER & PLATE. PERFORMED FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE AND 6 CYL TUNE UP/6 22401-EW61C PLUG-SPARKS. SERVICED COMPLETE COOLANT SYSTEM. SERVICED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EXCHANGING FLUIDS IN CASE UP TO 6 QUARTS. PERFORMED FRONT & REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID EXCHANGE. DEALERSHIP KEPT VEHICLE 3-4 WEEKS, HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXISTS ALTHOUGH INTERMITTENTLY.

COOPER CS4 TOURING TIRES LEAKING AIR IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO, THIS WINTER WITH THE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES THESE TIRES HAD TO HAVE AIR ADDED EVERY WEEK. I'M TALKING ABOUT 5 TO 6 POUNDS OF PRESSURE. HAD THEM BEAD SEALED BUT THEY CONTINUED TO LEAK. POSTED COMPLAINTS ON MURANO WEB SITES AND WAS TOLD BY OTHER DRIVERS WITH COOPER TIRES," THE PROBLEM WAS THE COOPER TIRES." HAD THE OEM GOODYEARS TILL 55K AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I AM POSTING THIS NOW SO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THESE TIRES WILL CHECK THEM MORE OFTEN. *JS

VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT DEALER WITH CONFIRMED BRAKE/WHEEL LOCKING PROBLEM OCCURRING IN ONE WHEEL AT TIME AND RANDOM AMONG 3 OF THE 4 WHEELS EACH TIME APPLIED IN MODE SIMILAR TO ABRUPT STOP AND IN SLICK CONDITIONS.THIS BRAKING PROBLEM DID RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT 11/18/2013. THE COMPUTERS INDICATE EVERYTHING WORKING PROPERLY YET TECH'S ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT IS NOT THE CASE. AFTER NUMEROUS TESTS, DEALER TECH'S WERE ADVISED BY NISSAN TO CEASE FURTHER TESTING AND OPEN CASE WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS. INITIAL BRAKE ISSUE REPORTED 8/7/2012. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT FREQUENT. CAUSED INCONSISTENT STOPPING CONTROL AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT DRIVING AND EVEN PULLING A PARKING SPOT. DEALER REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER. VEHICLE WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO DEALER 12/26/2012 FOR SOFT/SPONGY BRAKE PROBLEM BRAKES WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH UNSAFE AND REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY. DEALER HAD VEHICLE UNTIL 1/4/2013. APPEARS THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AGAIN, TO NO AVAIL. THEY CONTACTED NISSAN TECH-LINE FOR ASSIST. REPLACED ABS CONTROL MOD ASSY AND BRAKES APPEARED NORMAL AGAIN. 6 DAYS LATER ON 1/10/2013. STREET WAS SNOW COVERED. I LIGHTLY APPLIED BRAKES & VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE CONTROL, WITH REAR OF THE VEHICLE TRYING TO COME AROUND. THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE A WHEEL OR BRAKE LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO BEGIN SLIDING, THEN LIKE TRACTION CONTROL WAS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING FURTHER LOSS OF CONTROL. THEY CHECKED IT & CONCLUDED EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY.THE NEXT SNOW I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ANYTIME I APPLIED BRAKES IN THE SNOW, I WOULD BEGIN TO LOSE CONTROL AS IF ONLY ONE BRAKE WAS WORKING. ON 11/18/2013 DRIVER HAD TO HIT BRAKES ABRUPTLY AND CAR WENT INTO A SKID WITH ONE TIRE LOCKING UP CAUSING HER TO NOT BE ABLE TO STOP SAFELY CAUSING A COLLISION.LEAVING SINGLE TIRE SKID MARK,APPROX 60 FEET BEFORE STOP. ABS DID NOT ACTIVATE. *TR

MY HUSBAND TOOK MY VEHICLE FOR A NORMAL OIL CHANGE. HE WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAD A LEAK AND IT WOULD COST OVER $3,000.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BETWEEN NISSAN AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I AM BEING JUGGLED AROUND AS TO WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED DUE TO THE MANY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON THE MURANO FOR QUITE SOME TIME. APPARENTLY IF THE TRANSFER CASE RUNS DRY OF THE SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL IT HAS, IT CAN LOCK UP THE ENTIRE DRIVETRAIN AND RENDER THE VEHICLE UN-DRIVABLE. THE TRANSFER CASE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE CVT AND MANY OF THE FAILED CVT'S VEHICLES HAVE HAD CRACKED OR LEAVING TRANSFER CASES. SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF INCIDENTS AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, IT SEEMS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE TRANSFER CASE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN. IT SEEMS FIT THAT SINCE NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS FOR REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDES LABOR, PARTS AND ANY OTHER RELATED EXPENSES. *TR

MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO WILL HESITATE FOR 10-20 SECONDS WHILE I DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HEADING UP HILL. I TOOK IT TO THE ESCONDIDO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED IT AT A GREAT COST TO ME, BUT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME HESITATION. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE MY CAR WILL STOP FOR NO GOOD REASON, CAUSING THOSE BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. NISSAN STATES THAT BECAUSE I RECEIVED AN UPGRADED TRANSMISSION AND UPGRADED PARTS, I CAN EXPECT THIS SORT OF HESITATION FROM HERE ON OUT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND NISSAN IS NOT REPAIRING MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO MAKE IT SAFE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEGAN MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED OR LOCKED. I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BE $575 TO FIX. I CHOSE NOT TO FIX IT AT THAT TIME. NOW, A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, THE DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS LOCK WHEN THE BUTTON ON THE DOORHANDLE IS PUSHED OR WHEN THE KEY FOB IS USED. THE DOOR WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THE LOUD NOISE, BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TRY TO LOCK THE DOOR 10-15 TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR WILL LOCK. THIS IS A CONCERN AS I NEED MY DOORS TO LOCK TO PROTECT ITEMS IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO, I AM AFRAID THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT I HAVE LEAK IN THE TRANSFER CASE IN MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO AWD. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE LEAK COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF THE FLUID DRIPS ONTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB, I FOUND MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANOS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIR (EST. GIVEN $2725) WHEN THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE WITH EXTREME HESITATION. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S DESTINATION BUT FAILED TO RESTART ONCE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT HEAD GASKET WAS FRACTURED. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE ENGINE BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SERVICE CHIME SOUNDED AND THE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V521000 (AIR BAGS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 WAS AND THE CURRENT 52,000.

TAKATA RECALL .... MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 3 YRS. NOW AND WHEN IT HAS BEEN HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER RESULTS ALWAYS COME BACK THE SAME... ERROR IN AIRBAG. NOW I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT EVEN THOUGH I MAY HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG MY VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST SO THEREFORE THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO HAVE IT FIXED. NOW THEY DID TELL ME THAT ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS AND WITH THE VIN # THAT WAS GIVEN TO THEM IN OCT 2008 MY MURANO ALREADY HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON. SO BASICALLY WHAT THEY WERE SAYING WAS THAT MY MURANO HAD ALREADY USED THE ONE FREE SERVICE CHECK IN OCT 2008 FOR AIRBAG. FIRST OF ALL, MY VEHICLE IS AN 09, SO NISSAN ALREADY ADMITTED THAT ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS AND MY VIN # THAT I WAS ALREADY HAVING AIRBAG ISSUES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO BE SOLD. I PURCHASED IT AT BEGINNING OF 2012 AND 2013 IS WHEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. NOW I HAVE HAD IT CLEARED AND SEEMS LIKE IF IT IS COLD CAUSE I DO LIVE IN OHIO, BUT IF I CLEAR IT TODAY AND IT'S NOT REALLY COLD IT MAY NOT COME ON, BUT AS SOON AS IT GETS COLD IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. NOW THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHERE IT HAS BEEN CLEARED AND AS SOON AS YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND START IT BACK UP IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. I ALSO AM HAVING ISSUES WITH TPMS, NO MATTER WHAT TIRES I BUY I AM CONSTANTLY BATTLING THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. IT'S BEEN TAKING TO TIRE SHOPS AND BEEN CHECKED FOR SLOW LEAKS AND LEAKS AROUND THE VALVE STEM, NOTHING. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTORS IN MT STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE WENT OUT ON ME. NOW MY NEW ISSUE IS MY AIR VENTS. WHEN THE DEFROST IS ON CERTAIN AIR VENTS DO NOT SHUT OFF, AIR STILL COMES THROUGH THEM. AND IN THE WINTER I FEEL LIKE THERE IS COLD AIR BLOWING UP THROUGH THE FLOOR. NO ISSUES WITH 04 MURANO

UPON EXITING MY DRIVEWAY THE STEERING WHEEL TILT/TELESCOPIC MECHANISM BEGAN TO GRIND AND THE STEERING WHEEL RATCHETED LOWER & LOWER ONTO MY LEGS. PRESENTING A DIFFICULT DRIVING POSITION AND MAKING INGRESS & EGRESS TO & FROM THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT. I AM AWARE OF A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM FROM NISSAN NTB-09-073 *JS

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT. BUT ...... NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON SEVERAL VEHICLES FOR THE AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG NOT WORKING - INCLUDING THE 2009 MURANOS. THEY SAID MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH UP ON THE RECALL - SO THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVED RECALLED MANY VEHICLES FOR THE EXACT SAME THING INCLUDING THE 2009 MURANO. I WOULD THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND HOPE YOU GUYS CAN HELP ENFORCE A RECALL ON THIS. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD AND THE BRAKES BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE FAILURE WAS PERSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. UPDATED 05/31/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE LAST FAILURE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE LEFT REAR FENDER AT 123,000 MILES. UPDATED 08/03/2017*JS

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOLD THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO DOUBLE THAT OF ITS ORIGINAL OFFER DUE TO MANY PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY MURANO TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE CVT REPLACED AND WHILE I WAS THERE, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE TRANSFER CASE WAS LEAKING ALSO AND WOULD NEED A NEW SEAL BUT IT WAS EXPENSIVE. I RECEIVED A CALL LATER FROM THE DEALER STATING THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN CONTAINED A TRANSFER CASE THAT HAD NO SEPARATE SEAL OPTION AND THE ENTIRE CASE WOULD NEED REPLACED FOR OVER $3,000. WITH VERY LITTLE LOOKING I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON THE MURANO FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THEY HAVE CHANGED THE WARRANTY TO COVER THE FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION BUT NOT THE TRANSFER CASE WHICH HAS GONE HAND IN HAND WITH PREVIOUS CVT'S. (IF IT'S ONE, IT'S BOTH) APPARENTLY, IF THE CASE RUNS DRY OF OIL (WHICH IT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH IN THE FIRST PLACE) IT CAN LOCK UP THE ENTIRE DRIVETRAIN AND RENDER THE VEHICLE UN-DRIVABLE. THE TRANSFER CASE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE CVT AND MANY OF THE FAILED CVT'S VEHICLES HAVE HAD CRACKED OR LEAKING TRANSFER CASES AS WELL. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS AND AWARENESS OF NISSAN WITH THIS ISSUE, IT SEEMS ABSURD THEY NOT REMEDY THE TRANSFER CASE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH IT BEING A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN. BUT KNOWING THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS UNSERVICEABLE AND A FULLY ENCLOSED, INTEGRAL PART OF THE MAIN DRIVE TRAIN SHOULD CLEARLY PUT NISSAN IN THE HOT SEAT FOR ALL COSTS FOR REPAIRS LABOR, PARTS, AND ANY OTHER RELATED EXPENSES. *TR

RADIO VOLUME AND TUNING CONTROLS MALFUNCTION NOT ALLOWING ACCURATE CONTROL OF VOLUME. TRYING TO ADJUST THE VOLUME SOMETIMES RESULTS IN THE VOLUME LEVEL GOING TO MAXIMUM VOLUME ON ITS OWN, STARTLING THE DRIVER AND CAUSING A DISTRACTION WHILE TRYING TO READJUST THE VOLUME TO NORMAL. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING AND POSSIBLE HEARING DAMAGE. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME THE RADIO IS ON. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON SUBURBAN STREETS, ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 2-3 YEARS.

UNABLE TO OPEN DRIVER'S AND PASSENGERS FRONT DOOR. WAS FINALLY ABLE TO OPEN PASSENGER FRONT DOOR STILL UNABLE TO OPEN DRIVER'S. IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE CAR AT THIS POINT MUST CLIMB OVER SEAT. *TR

WHEN MY WIFE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTING MOTOR MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE AND STOPPED WORKING LOCKING THE WHEN IN THE DOWN POSITION. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE STEERING COLUMN GEARS ARE BROKEN AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION. *TR

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ON ALL FOUR DOORS MALFUNCTIONED, NOT AUTOLOCKING OR UNLOCKING WITH SMART KEY, OR DOOR HANDLE BUTTON. PASSENGER SIDE IS INTERMITTENT, SO IT IS UNCERTAIN WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED OR NOT AND I CANNOT GET MY CHILD OUT OF THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE WITHOUT SOMEONE ELSE BEING INSIDE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE BACK DOORS. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY SAFETY ISSUE AND REQUIRES RECALL. *TR

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A LEAK BETWEEN THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE TRANSMISSION, IT ALSO CATCHES REALLY HARD WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND SOMETIMES TO A MINUTE TO FINALLY GO INTO GEAR. . THEY ALSO SAID THIS WAS A RECALL BUT FOR SOME REASON MY MURANOS VIN WASN'T POPPING UP AS ONE OF THE 2009 MURANOS THAT FELL UNDER THE RECALL. I WAS LOOKING AROUND YOUR WEB-SITE AND I SAW ANOTHER PERSON WAS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING WE WERE. WHICH WAS BASICALLY TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND IF IT GETS WORSE OR IN BETTER TERMS WHEN IT GETS WORSE TO TAKE IT IN AND SPEND $3,000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I'M NOT COMPLETELY SURE HOW THIS RECALL THING WORKS BUT IF ITS HAPPENING TO MULTIPLE 2009 NISSAN MURANO'S IT SEEMS LIKE THE RECALL SHOULD BE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR NOT JUST CERTAIN ONES. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN MY DAUGHTERS NAME. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY HAD COMPLETELY BURNT OUT DUE TO IT. THAT PUT THE MURANO INTO THE "FAIL SAFE" MODE. THIS OCCURRED AT A VERY DANGEROUS INTERSECTION, LEAVING MY DAUGHTER STRANDED IN THE #2 LANE AND THERE WAS NOT A SHOULDER AVAILABLE. AFTER RESEARCHING MURANO'S I FOUND THAT IT IS JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPEN TO THE 2005 MURANO'S THAT HAD TO RECALLED. AFTER WRITING AND CALLING NISSAN, THEY REFUSED TO HELP WITH THE MATTER. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO PUSH NISSAN FOR A RECALL. *TR

THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO AND I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TRANSFER CASE LEAKING AND WAS QUOTED AT LEAST $3,000 TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO AND WILL AFFECT MY TRANSMISSION BUT TO STAY ON TOP OF MY OIL CHANGES AND FLUIDS TO HELP PREVENT THE SYSTEM FROM FAILING. AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE I ASKED IF THE SYSTEM WAS CHECKED AND I WAS TOLD "EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD." ABOUT A WEEK AGO (WAS NOT DUE YET FOR A OIL CHANGE) MY CAR WOULD JOLT INTO REVERSE AND WOULD BE HESITANT TO GO AND SAME THING WITH DRIVING FORWARD. THE CAR IS STUCK IN AWD, TRANSMISSION CLICKS WHEN DRIVING, AND JOLTING OCCURS DRIVING FORWARD AND REVERSING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSFER CASE FAILING IN THIS TYPE OF CAR. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCK DOES NOT LOCK/UNLOCK WITH USING EITHER THE FOB OR WHEN THE CAR STARTS MOVING AND ALL THE DOOR LOCKS SHOULD LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, EITHER THE DOOR IS NOT LOCKED AND SOMEONE CAN CARJACK IT OR IF WE HAD TO EVACUATE THE CAR AND WE HAD MANUALLY LOCKED THIS DOOR, ANYONE SITTING IN THAT SEAT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT UNLESS THEY CAN UNLOCK IT MANUALLY THEMSELVES, IF SOMEONE WANTED TO TRY AND GET THEM OUT EXTERNALLY, NOT GO TO HAPPEN! GO ON ANY NISSAN MURANO FORUM AND THIS IS A LONG TERM INHERENT PROBLEM WITH NISSAN DOOR LOCKS., WHY IS THIS NOT GETTING ADDRESSED??? *TR

UNABLE TO PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE! *TR

I PUT THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DOWN TO GET THE SUN OUT OF MY EYES, WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT BACK UP, I HEARD A POP AND IT JUST HUNG THERE--- NOW THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT GO BACK UP AND IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS BLOCKING MY REAR VIEW MIRROR BUT ALSO ANNOYING. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT AS IT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $400 AND I JUST LOST MY JOB ON FRIDAY. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS!! *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. UPON REVIEW BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT COULD BE THE REASON THE LIGHT WAS BLINKING. THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD BE $2500.00. UPON REVIEW ON THE NISSAN WEBSITE THIS INFORMATION WAS FOUND "NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT." MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, YET I WAS INFORMED BY NISSAN THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. IT SEEMS AS IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WON'T TURN ON. *TR

BOTH FOBS (CAR KEYS) WENT BAD ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO, UNABLE TO LOCK AND OPEN DOORS USING THE FOB. I HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. AT NIGHT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CASE IN THE DARK. REPLACED BATTERIES IN THE FOB AND DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ON JANUARY 22, 2014 I MAILED A LETTER TO NISSAN OF AMERICA ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE NEW FOB I HAD TO PURCHASE. NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FOB AS THE VEHICLE BEING OUTSIDE OF THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY. AS I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO NISSAN THAT A CAR KEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THESE FOBS ARE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS I UNDERSTAND REPLACING A BATTERY BUT NOT THE ENTIRE FOB. THE COST OF ONE FOB WAS $239.61. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR UN-LOCK USING THE KEY FOB. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER WILL LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 55-60 MPH WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME, AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT GOING OFF INSIDE THE CAR. GLASS SLID OF THE BACK OF THE CAR AND I SLIGHTLY OPENED THE SUN SHADE AND WHERE THE GLASS IS THERE WAS A BIG HOLE WHERE IT HAD BLOWN OUT. *TR

LIFTGATE WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE, REGARDLESS OF METHOD USED. THE DRIVER'S BUTTON, THE FOB, AND THE BUTTON ON THE LIFTGATE DO NOTHING. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, THE LIFTGATE CANNOT BE USED AS A MEANS OF ENTRY OR EXIT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND HEARD A NOISE WITH MY MURANO. I NOTICED I HAD A LOSS IN POWER (MOVING FORWARD). IT FELT LIKE IT I HAD PUT IT IN NEUTRAL - NO POWER AT ALL. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A 7 LANE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR. I MANAGED TO GET IT INTO THE TURNING LANE. I POWERED OFF THE VEHICLE. I WAITED A LITTLE WHILE AND POWERED IT BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO GO A LITTLE FARTHER AND THEN ONCE AGAIN HAD NO POWER. I CONTINUED THIS PROCESS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD. I HAVE HEARD FROM A MECHANIC THAT IT IS MY TRANSMISSION. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IF THERE IS ACTION WE CAN TAKE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. *TR

THE STEERING COLUMN IS STUCK AND THE MOTOR AND GEARS FAILED. THIS HAS BEEN LISTED MORE THAN 100 TIMES ON THE INTERNET IN VARIOUS BLOGS. TURNS OUT THE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT EACH TIME YOU GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR KILLS THE MOTOR AND GEARS AND IS ACTUALLY ADDRESSED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN NTB-09-073 HAVING THIS HAPPEN ALSO AFFECTED THE AIR BAG AND THE WARNING LIGHT IS NOW ON. *TR

RADIO (AND) CLIMATE SYSTEM) KNOBS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. RADIO SOMETIMES GOES TO FULL VOLUME WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERVENTION STARTLING THE DRIVER AND DIVERTING ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD TO TRY TO CONTROL THE RADIO VOLUME. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON ALL KINDS OF ROADS AT VARIOUS TIMES. DATE LISTED BELOW IS NOT ACCURATE. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS AND ONGOING PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES AND DATES. IT STARTED SOMETIME IN 2013 OR 2014.

THE VEHICLE HAS SHOWN PROBLEMS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY RECALLED INCLUDING TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM, PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS LIT, AND REAR HATCH FAILS TO FUNCTION. MORE RECENTLY THE VEHICLE FAILS TO START AND HAS STRONG SMELL OF GAS. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACE BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, FAILURE TO START OR RUN.

AFTER EVERY TIME THE ABS HAS BEEN ENGAGED FROM SLIDING ON ICE/SNOW ETC, THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY SOFT AND SPONGY. LASTS ABOUT A WEEK OR SO BEFORE THE BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL. PREVIOUSLY HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST THE LAST FEW YEARS

WHEN I MOVED FROM A CLEAN SURFACE PARKING LOT INTO ONE THAT HAD SNOW I FELT THE WHEELS PULSATE (I JUST ACCELERATED TO TURN INTO THE LOT. I MOVED IN THE LOT TO A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED WITHOUT A PROBLEM.) RETURNING TO THE CAR.(WHICH NEEDS A BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION TO START) I PROCEEDED OUT OF THE LOT AND UPON MY !ST BRAKE APPLICATION THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WHICH WAS AT THE FULL MARK.THERE WAS A FULL PEDAL IF IT WAS PUMPED A COUPLE OF TIMES. HAD A FLATBED TAKE TO THE MECHANIC. HE CHECKED FOR LEAKS,FOUND NONE.CHECKED WHEEL BEARING PLAY AND FOUND OK. HE THAN BLEED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE BRAKE PEDAL OPERATES AT THE POSITION BEFORE THE HAPPENING. *TR
