NISSAN 999R5-AR000 Complaints

PEDALS ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO ARE MOVING ON THEIR ON ACCORD. APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE WIRING. DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $315 TO FIX. THEY HAD AGREED TWO YEARS AGO TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY NEVER DID. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THE CAR RPM'S RUN UP AT THE SAME TIME AND THE CAR CAN NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40-45 MPH. I HAVE FOUND OUT NISSAN HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRANSMISSION FROM 2007 ON. NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH A KNOWN POOR EXHAUST AND EMISSION CONTROL DEVICE LEADS TO PREMATURE FAILURE AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT PRIOR TO OR SOON AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS INCLUDE CATALYTIC CONVERTORS AND ARE MOUNTED UNDER STRESS WHICH CAUSES FRACTURE AND EMISSION LEAKS AT THE MANIFLOLD, INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND NOT OUT OF THE EXHAUST. SEVERELY CRACKED MANIFOLDS CAN ACTUALLY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO RUN WITH THE TAILPIPE CLOSED. *TR

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING FLUID - REQUIRES TOPPING OFF EVERY FEW WEEKS (2-4 WEEKS, 200 MILES). NO LOSS OF PRESSURE AS OF YET (HAS NOT DROPPED BELOW MINIMUM). *TR

ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2011, I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR EXPRESSWAY. WHILE TRYING TO EXIT FROM THE EXPRESSWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO LOCKED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TURN IT. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18-WHEEL SEMI-TRAILER TRUCK. THE INCIDENT RESULTED IN BLACK SKID/TIRE MARKS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY MY CAR AND THE TRUCK THAT WAS TRYING TO AVOID FROM HITTING ME. NISSAN'S CONTRACTED TOWING SERVICE HAD TO TOW MY VEHICLE INTO NISSAN'S SHOP SINCE THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY AFTER THE INCIDENT. ON AUGUST 3, THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED TO SAY THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN FIXED. HE INDICATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SERPENTINE BELT. HE SAID THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED, THAT THEY HAD TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE BEFORE ITS RELEASE TO ME, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOW SAFE TO DRIVE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT MY NISSAN HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN NISSAN'S SHOP BARELY A WEEK BEFORE THE AUGUST 2ND INCIDENT, ON JULY 21ST, FOR OTHER DEFECT ISSUES WHICH WERE COVERED BY WARRANTY. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE JULY REPAIRS, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAD INDICATED THAT THEY HAD DONE A FULL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT IS INTERESTING TO ME IS THAT DURING THE FULL INSPECTION, NISSAN DID NOT DISCOVER ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SERPENTINE BELT THEN. IF THE BELT WERE WEARING AWAY, NISSAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER AND DISCLOSE THE WEAR AND TEAR DURING THE FULL INSPECTION IN LATE JULY. EVEN AFTER THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED ON AUGUST 3, 2011, THE STEERING WHEEL IS STILL DIFFICULT TO STEER. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN DEFECT, BUT I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO CAREFULLY SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IF A DRIVER IS SLOWING DOWN TO GET READY TO TURN BUT SUDDENLY CANNOT TURN BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL, ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING BEHIND COULD EASILY HIT THE DRIVER IN FRONT. THIS COULD RESULT IN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. *TT

NISSAN UNSAFE FAILURE PARTS TRANSMISSION AND RADIATORS HI MY NAME IS [XXX] MY STORY BEGINS AS A HAPPY ONE, BUT SOON TURNS OUT TO BE MY WORST NIGHTMARE BACK IN NOVEMBER 2007. I BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA FROM AVONDALE NISSAN BRAND NEW WHICH IS NOW PAID OFF. IT WAS A VERY NICE VEHICLE, HAD REALLY SMALL ISSUES WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE WHICH I KEPT UP ON MYSELF. RIGHT NOW I'M ATTENDING ASU FOR PREMED AND I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET TO SCHOOL. THE ISSUE STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF SUDDEN I HEARD A NOISE AND THE BACK END SHUDDERED AS IF I WAS DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. I TOOK IT IN ON MY NEXT OIL CHANGE TO DISCOVER THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE COOLANT, THEN I HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED, THEN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SAME ISSUE WHICH I WAS PREVIOUSLY HAVING WITH THE MY TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE COOLANT BEGAN AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO THAT INCIDENT, I WAS TOLD FROM NUMEROUS DEALERSHIPS INCLUDING NISSAN THAT THE RADIATOR WAS DAMAGED AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALSO DAMAGE. I THEN STARTED GOOGLING THE PROBLEM AND TO MY SURPRISE TO FIND OUT THAT SO MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS HORRIFIED ME WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2007. THE SERVICE ADVISOR IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THIS IS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM BECAUSE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS HORRIBLE DESIGN FLAW ON NISSAN'S PART AND THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS, HE SAID THAT NISSAN IS NOT GOING TO DO A RECALL AT ALL ITS JUST A DEFECT. HE ALSO STATED THAT TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION AND GET ANOTHER RADIATOR WOULD COST $500 FOR THE RADIATOR AND $5155 FOR TRANSMISSION NOT INCLUDING TAX OR LABOR. I WILL NEVER IN MY LIFE EVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN NOR WOULD I RECOMMEND SOMEONE TO PURCHASE IT! I'M NOT GETTING ANY ANSWERS FROM THEM THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THIS UNSAFE DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR. WE HAD NO BRAKING POWER AT ALL. I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ALREADY AND THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD!!!!! ONE OF TIMES IT HAPPENED AT 40 MPH WHAT IF I CANT STOP THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS WHO IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. *KB
