2015 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING CAUSING A DANGER WHEN CAR DOES NOT GO AS EXPECTED WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. IT ALSO JERKS AND SHUDDERS AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE CAR SHAKES SOMEWHAT VIOLENTLY AND WILL STOP IF YOU FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM DEALER AND HAVE BROUGHT IN FOR THE ISSUE TO BE TOLD THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SEE A PROBLEM. I DRIVE THE CAR DAILY I KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN IT CHOOSES NOT TO GO WHEN ACCELERATING. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE SIMILAR TO A GUN SHOT. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THE SUN SHADE WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY ORDERED THE PART TO BE REPLACED AT A LOCAL GLASS SHOP. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. *DT *DL

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR (NO RAIN, NO SNOW ON THE CAR), WHEN THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THE CAR WAS GOING STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH NO BUMPS IN THE ROAD. NO ROCKS HIT THE CAR AND THERE WAS NO COLLISION. IT WAS ABOUT 1:30PM IN DECEMBER IN MICHIGAN, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND, NO ROCKS. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED ON I'S OWN - DUE TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT. THE CAR HAD ABOUT 21,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE PURCHASED IT CERTIFIED, PRE OWNED FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP 8 MONTHS PRIOR. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE RECENTLY BEGAN DISPLAYING A WARNING THAT THE ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONAL AND I NOTICED THIS ALSO DISABLED AND DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL RESULTING IN SUDDEN DECELERATION . THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO RESET WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND REOCCURS AFTER 10 TO 15 MINUTES DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT, AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SOURCE ISSUE. THE NISSAN SERVICE REP TOLD ME THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX. I SEARCHED ON LINE AND ON NUMEROUS SITES FOUND IT WAS A VERY COMMON AND SERIOUS DEFECT WITH A BOSCH SUPPLIED SENSOR ON THE RADAR . THIS IS A DRIVING SAFETY FEATURE I CONSIDER ESSENTIAL TO MY PURCHASE AND WHEN SUDDENLY FAILS DISENGAGING CRUISE CONTROL PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND INSISTS I PAY A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL TO REPAIR.

THE CAR WAS BUCKING AT LOW SPEEDS (10-20 MPH) AND HAD A VIBRATION AT HIGH SPEEDS (70+). THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE WAS P17F0 AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CVT SUBASSEMBLY AND THE RPL AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY AND REPROGRAM THE A/T CONTROL UNIT.WHILE DOING THAT THEY DISCOVERED THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR SEALS ON THE LEAKING TRANSFER CASE. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO A RECALL AFFECTING THE CVT ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES, BUT THAT RECALL DID NOT COVER THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR AT LOW SPEED, TRANSMISSION JUDDERS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LUNGE AND VIBRATE TILL IT GETS TO A HIGHER RPM. AT A CERTAIN RPM, THE CAR CAN SIMPLE LUG REPEATEDLY IF THE SPEED IS HELD CONSTANT. THE CAR STORES AN ERROR CODE AND THE FIX PER THE DEALER IS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE AT ONLY 39,200 MILES. WHILE NISSAN CREATED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, A REPAIR THIS MAJOR SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF HOW EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE TO REPAIR OUT OF WARRANTY. BASED ON THE REPAIR ORDER I WAS PROVIDED, THIS WOULD'VE COST OVER $1,600 FOR PARTS ALONE, AND THE DEALER NEEDED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A FULL WEEK. MULTIPLE ANECDOTAL REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.NISSANMURANO.ORG/THREADS/ENGINE-CVT-HORRIBLE-SKIPPING-AND-LUNGING.186778/

THE BACKUP CAMERA DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. BACKING UP THE INDICATOR DID NOT SHOW OR SOUND A WARNING. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS BACKING UP ON A STREET AND HIT A CAR. IT ALSO DOES NOT SOUND REGULARLY WHEN I'M BACKING UP IN ALL SITUATIONS.

TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AS ALWAYS AND HIT MY OTHER VEHICLE. THE BACKUP SENSOR DIDN'T SOUND. I NOW HAVE A DENT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK AWAY FROM HOME BUT LUCKILY I HAD SOMEONE DIRECTING ME AND I WAS RIGHT ON THE CAR AND NO SENSOR WENT OFF. MY VEHICLE IS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE A PART OF RECALL. I PURCHASED IT IN MARCH 2019 AND PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY.

MY NISSAN MURANO HAS AN AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) SAFETY FEATURE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE AT WORK. A CAR IN THE LANE TO MY RIGHT AND A LITTLE AHEAD OF ME, BUT NOT IN FRONT OF ME. I SLOWED AS I APPROACHED A SPEED BUMP. SPEED AT THIS TIME WAS LESS THAN 10MPH - ABOUT 5 MPH. ONCE SLOWED, TO GET OVER THE SPEED BUMP, I NEEDED TO PRESS ON THE GAS. THE AEB SYSTEM BEEPED QUICKLY AND LOUDLY. THE AEB SYMBOL FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD. THEN, SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY, THE CAR STOP. THE AEB SYSTEM STOPPED THE CAR. AS IT DID, I LOOKED UP. THE OTHER CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME HAD MANAGED TO GO OVER THE SPEED BUMPS WELL BEFORE ME AND WAS NEVER COMING INTO MY LANE. THE ONLY OTHER THING NEAR ME WAS THE SPEED BUMP SIGN THAT STRADDLED THE MEDIAN TO THE LEFT. BUT AGAIN, IT WAS NOT IN MY LANE. I WAS NOT IN ANY DANGER OF HITTING ANYTHING. THANKFULLY, THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY OR IT WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED ME. I WAS SCARED AND CONFUSED, BUT HAD TO KEEP GOING TO NOT BLOCK THE EXIT LANES. AFTER THAT INCIDENT, I NOTICED THAT THE AEB LIGHT ON MY DASH WOULD FLASH, SOMETIMES BRIEFLY, AGAIN, WHEN I WAS NOT IN ANY DANGER. IN ONE INSTANCES, I PULLED INTO A LANE AS I EXITED A GAS STATION BEHIND A CAR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I APPROACHED SLOWLY TO GET IN LINE AT THE LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. AND AS I PRESSED THE GAS TO BEGIN TO ACCELERATE, THE AEB LIGHT FLASHED. THIS TIME, THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE CLOSER AND STARTING TO PICK UP SPEED. THE CAR DID NOT STOP, THANKFULLY. BUT THESE SITUATIONS CONTINUED AND OCCURRED AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. I CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT RECALLS. THE SERVICE TECH DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RECALLS AND OFFERED TO TEST IT FOR $145. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY NISSAN. WE PAID EXTRA FOR THIS FEATURE AND NOW I CAN'T TRUST IT AND WORRY IT IS FAULTY.

CVT TRANSMISSION IS A CLASSIC NISSAN FAILURE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. 1ST TIME, THEY REPLACED A FAULTY VALVE BODY, 2ND TIME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE SOFTWARE, 3RD TIME THEY DID A VIBRATION SOFTWARE UPDATE. STILL SHUDDERS IN LOWER GEARS, STILL HAS A VIBRATION WHILE IDLE, BUT THEY CLAIM THAT THEIR TECHNICIANS "CAN'T FEEL IT" OR THAT THEY "CAN'T GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE". RIDICULOUS. THEY KNOW THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FOOT THE BILL.
