2015 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL "ELECTRICAL" PROBLEMS WITH THIS VECHICLE- I PURCHASED IT FEB. 2016. IN JULY 2018- MY XM RADIO STOPPED WORKING. MADE 12 TRIPS TO NISSAN-THEY FINALLY REPLACED IT IN DEC. 2018!! NOW JUNE 2019 MY BACK UP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING AND THE DASH BOARD DOESN'T SHOW THE COMPASS AND THEN THE CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEELS DOESN'T WORK WHEN I'M DRIVING. UGH! THIS IS RIDICULOUS CAR ONLY HAS 17,000 MILES I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I'M ACTUALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. DEALING WITH NISSAN IS ALSO HORRIBLE- NOW I HAVE NISSAN CORP INVOLVED AS I JUST FOUND OUT MY "BASIC WARRANTY" IS EXPIRED (NEWS TO ME?) AND THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT NOT FAIR!! I BEEN THROUGH HELL WITH THIS CAR- THIS IS ONLY A SMALL PART OF WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH BUT NOW THIS IS MY NEW ISSUE. DOES IT EVER STOP WITH THIS VEHICLE???? NEVER, EVER BUY A NISSAN. CAN YOU HELP??

SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AND SHUDDERING AT SPEEDS BELOW 35 MPH. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING IT BUT IT ALMOST ACTS LIKE IT COULD DIE. I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN PUSH IT AGAIN TO GET THE HESITATION TO STOP AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 4 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2019.

TWO DANGEROUS ISSUES. FIRST IS WHEN I AM WAITING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO GIVE IT A FAST START. THE CAR TOTALLY FAILS AS I DO THIS. I MOVE ABOUT 5 FEET AND THE CAR DOES NOTHING, LEAVING ME HANGING OUT WITH TRAFFIC APPROACHING. EVENTUALLY, AFTER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL, IT RESPONDS. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED RECENTLY. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MPH. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A TYPICAL RURAL ROAD AND THE CAR JUST GAVE UP, ALLOWING ME TO GO 30 MPH AT THE MOST. EVENTUALLY COOPERATED AFTER I STOPPED. BOTH PROBLEMS ARE VERY DANGEROUS.

MY BARELY 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE RECENTLY BEGAN DISPLAYING A WARNING THAT THE ANTI COLLUSION SYSTEM WAS 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 15 OR 20 MINUTES DRIVING . I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT BOTH REPS AT THE DESK TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS A RECALL ON THE LESS EXPENSIVE MORE COMMON ROGUE MODEL BUT NOT ON THE MURANO WHICH USED THE VERY SAME COMPONENTS AND ALSO TOLD ME IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX .I SEARCHED ON LINE AND ON NUMEROUS SITES FOUND IT WAS A VERY COMMON SERIOUS DEFECT WITH A BOSCH SUPPLIED SENSOR ON THE RADAR . WHY ARE THEY FIXING ONE MODEL BUT NOT THE SAME DEFECT ON THE MURANO .THIS IS A DRIVING SAFETY FEATURE I CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL TO MY PURCHASE AND WHEN SUDDENLY FAILS DISENGAGING CRUISE CONTROL PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION . THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INSISTS I PAY TO DIAGNOSIS AND AT THIS POINT PAY A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL TO REPAIR ,,,,UNACCEPTABLE !

ANTI COLLISION LIGHT FALSELY ILLUMINATES OFTEN, INDICATING IMPENDING COLLISION. NISSAN HAS MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT NEEDS TO RECALL. WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS MAINLY CITY DRIVING. DEALER (LAMB NISSAN, PRESCOTT, AZ) SAYS IT WILL COST $1600 TO REPLACE FORWARD RADAR SENSOR. ONLY 36782 MILEAGE. IT IS POSSIBLE THE CAR WILL SLAM TO A STOP FOR NO REASON, AS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS.

WIFE WAS RETURNING HOME FROM WORK AT 2330 HOURS AND SMELLED PLASTIC BURNING. SUV IS EQUIPPED WITH CLIMATE CONTROLLED HEATED/COOLED SEATS. THE CONTROL KNOB FOR THE DRIVER SEAT NO LONGER LIGHTS UP. SEAT INOPERABLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR INSPECTION. TECHNICIAN STATED " LEFT FRONT CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT HAS MELTED TERMINALS AND HARNESS CONNECTOR". THIS ACTION NEVER BLEW A FUSE? TECHNICIAN COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAPPENED. CONTACTED NISSAN ON 25 MARCH AN 1 APRIL, 2019. NOT CONCERNED ABOUT IT? THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY RESULTED IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT/FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BOOMING SOUND. GLASS SHATTERED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. GULF COAST NISSAN (3000 NORTH HWY 288, ANGLETON, TX) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN SERRAMONTE (LOCATED AT 1500 A COLLINS AVE, COLMA, CA 94014, (650) 550-7200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT CALLED NISSAN SERRAMONTE AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE MURANO HAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS DRIVING FINE WITHOUT ANY STRANGE NOISES. IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 2 MPH. LUCKILY IT WAS ON A DEAD END ROAD AND THERE WAS TRAFFIC AROUND OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURIES IF NOT KILLED. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. IT IS GOING TO COST $800 TO FIX AS IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2015 NISSAN MURANO PLATINUM ON 1/10/2019. THE VEHICLE HAS 36,106K. ON 1/13/2019 WE FELT A SLIGHT JUDDER WITH THE VEHICLE. WE AGAIN FELT A JUDDER ON 1/15/2019, WHICH WAS MORE SEVERE. ALTHOUGH NO SERVICE LIGHT WAS PRESENT, WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SCHEDULED SERVICE FOR 1/16/2018. UPON COMPLETION OF THE SERVICE CALL, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VALVE BODY WOULD NEED REPLACED, WHICH IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH NISSAN CVTS. IT IS A CLEAR DANGER TO THE CONSUMER THAT IF THE CVT CONTINUES TO JUDDER AN ACCIDENT IS LIKELY. IN ADDITION, ISSUES WITH THE CVT CAN CAUSE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS HARM TO THE CONSUMER. CARS WILL GIVE A SERVICE LIGHT WHEN AN ISSUE AS TRIVIAL AS TIRE PRESSURE, LOW FUEL AND CHANGE ENGINE OIL OCCUR. WHY WHEN A MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUE IS OCCURRING IS THE CAR NOT ALERTING THE OPERATOR OF A POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCE??!!
