2015 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

DRIVER'S SEAT-BELT DOESN'T RELEASE WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE BUCKLE OUT WITH A PRETTY STIFF JERK. THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY, AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION WAS FELT, AND THE BRAKING WAS UNSTABLE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITH NO WARNING. THE DEALER (GRANITE NISSAN, 2626 E MALL DR, RAPID CITY, SD 57701, (605) 342-3400) TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

NISSAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUE WITH ILLUMINATING LIGHTS AROUND THE RADIO AND A/C. *LD *JS

PURCHASED THE MURANO 5/15/2018. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH BRAKING/ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I START TO APPLY MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE ENGINE SEEMS TO REV UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. THIS REQUIRES A NEED FOR ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND GET IT BACK UNDER CONTROL. THE STRANGE THING IS THAT THIS OCCURS ONLY ABOUT 1/3 OF THE TIME. HOWEVER I FEEL THIS CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND OTHERS AROUND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ON ON 2 OCCASIONS TO HAVE THEM CHECK THIS OUT. UNFORTUNATELY THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG BUT THE MECHANIC SAYS HE KNOWS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE HE HAS EXPERIENCED IT BEFORE WITH OTHER VEHICLES. HE ALSO SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THAT ISSUE.

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.

AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES AT LOW SPEEDS ON LOCAL CITY ROADS, I COULD SOMETIMES FEEL VIBRATIONS AND A LACK OF ACCELERATION THAT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION COULDN'T DECIDE WHAT TO DO. ALWAYS AT SPEEDS UNDER 20 MPH AND GENERALLY WHEN EITHER SLOWING DOWN FOR AN INTERSECTION OR STARTING TO SPEED UP WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN IN TIME THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO FULLY STOP. AFTER A FEW OF THESE I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN NO ERROR CODES GENERATED AND TO JUST KEEP DRIVING IT. AFTER THE SECOND OR THIRD TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, NOW WITH 12,839 MILES ON IT THEY REPROGRAMMED THE STEERING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. HOWEVER, NOW AT 21,000 MILES, IT SEEMS TO BE COMING BACK AGAIN. I FEEL LIKE THE CVT AND COMPUTER HAVE A PROBLEM COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER IN THESE LOW-SPEED SITUATIONS. THIS HESITATION IN ACCELERATION COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND CERTAINLY FEELS UNSAFE.

OCS IS SHOWING PASSENGER SEAT EMPTY EVEN WHEN OCCUPIED. AS A RESULT, THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG MAY BE TURNED OFF AND NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS PROBLEM WAS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V-244 DATED APRIL 29, 2016.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP JUST UNDER 20 MILES PER HOUR THE TRANSMISSION GRABS AND SLOWS YOU DOWN AND THEN RELEASES. THIS CAUSES YOU TO STOP SHORT OR STOP TOO FAR AHEAD. EITHER WAY CAN BE DANGEROUS. PLEASE GIVE US A RECALL. I DON'T FEEL SAFE

MY 2015 NISSAN MURANO STARTED HAVING SOME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT AROUND 20K MILES. ON LOW REVS SPECIALLY THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND SHUDDERS. IT'S LIKE IT CAN'T SELECT THE PROPER GEAR AND IT'S A COUPLE GEARS UP FROM WHERE IT SHOULD BE. THE VIBRATION IS VERY ANNOYING AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD FEEL THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT THERE ARE NO LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD. SUGGESTED TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL A SERVICE LIGHT SHOWS UP. I THINK THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WAN TO SELL MY CAR NOW, BUT NO ONE WOULD BUY A CAR THAT SHAKES ON LOW REVS.

MY CAR THAT HAD LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT HAS HAD TO HAVE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, THE LEATHER SEATS HAVE TEARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR SEAT, THE WINDSHIELD HAS OVER A DOZEN CHIPS IN IT AND MOST RECENTLY, WHEN DRIVING, MY GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY ALTHOUGH I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP LESS THAN 16 HOURS EARLIER AND HAD NOT DONE ANY DRIVING. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE GAUGE RESET ITSELF. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I'M WAITING FOR THE NEXT MAJOR THING TO HAPPEN.
