2015 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

WHEN BACKING UP IN A PARKING LOT, BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BUT BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT STOP VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND VEHICLE THEN CAME TO A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE GUARDRAIL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD, SHOULDER, LOWER BACK, AND NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT AND TWO REAR PASSENGERS SUSTAINED HEAD, SHOULDER, NECK, ARM, BACK, AND LEG INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE TRANSFER CASE AND AXLE SEALS ON MY 2015 NISSAN MURANO HAVE BEEN LEAKING AND THE DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF, FOR NUMEROUS DAYS. THERE WAS 27,091 MILES ON IT WHEN I TOOK IT IN ON 11-08-17. THE DEALER HAS PROVIDED A RENTAL EACH TIME. THE THREE DATES THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE DEALER ARE: 11-08-17, 12-02-17 AND 12-19-17. I FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN UNDER CASE #29147756 AND GAVE THEM A COPY OF THE TITLE SHOWING THAT IT WAS PURCHASED THROUGH MY FAMILY'S BUSINESS, BURKINS & FOLEY. I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A COPY IF NEEDED.

ON THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 7, 2017, THE FRONT/SLIDING PORTION OF THE SUNROOF ON MY 2015 NISSAN MURANO SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-5 IN SEATTLE, WA, AT THE POSTED SPEED (60 MPH). THE SOUND OF THE EXPLOSION WAS DEAFENING (I THOUGHT THAT A GUNSHOT HAD BEEN FIRED AT MY VEHICLE, AND/OR I HAD HAD A CATASTROPHIC TIRE BLOWOUT). LUCKILY THE RETRACTABLE FABRIC "SHIELD" BETWEEN THE SUNROOF AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS DEPLOYED, AND THE SHATTERED GLASS DID NOT FALL ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND PREVENT LARGE CHUNKS OF GLASS FROM FLYING INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC. I SUBSEQUENTLY REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THE SUNROOF WAS REPLACED BY MY INSURER (THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT GLASS WAS APPROXIMATELY $1500; I PAID A $250 DEDUCTIBLE, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID THE REST).

I WAS DRIVING MY CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2015 NISSAN MURANO WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT, A CAR THAT I JUST PURCHASED 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN THE FRONT HALF OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED. I WAS NOT UNDER AN UNDERPASS, THERE WERE NO CARS RIGHT NEXT TO ME. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT & GLASS CAME SHATTERING DOWN THE FRONT & BACK SEAT WHERE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN HER CAR SEAT. THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING, DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE THAT COULD HAVE ENDED A LOT WORSE. I CONSIDER MY DAUGHTER & I LUCKY THAT WE WERE NOT INJURED BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH EXPLODING SUNROOFS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CONSUMERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF BEFORE BUYING A NISSAN OR ANY CAR WITH A SUN ROOF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE MONITORING SYSTEM ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED ONE TIME PREVIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (GARDEN CITY NISSAN IN HEMSTEAD, NY) WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. UPDATED 12/13/2017 *LN CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOTIFIED 9/27/17. THE SPECIALIST SAID THAT HE DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. ON 6/28/17, CONSUMER MADE A REPORT TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE BRAKES BUT IT WAS NOT DOCUMENTED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR. UPDATED 7/23/18*JB *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER YESTERDAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. ANOTHER TIME ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND I ALMOST HAD A ACCIDENT. I AM SCARED THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AND I WILL BE PUTTING MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN DANGER.

CVT SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEEDS 20 - 40 MPH, THE FEELING IS AS IF THE GEARS ARE JAMMING AND BANGING AGAINST EACH OTHER; IMMEDIATELY RELEASING ACCELERATOR AND PRESSING FOR HARDER ACCELERATION TEMPORARY SUPPRESSES THIS BEHAVIOR. ANY INCLINES WHERE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND RPM FALLS CAN LEAD TO REOCCURRENCE OF THE SAME. HAPPENS 2/3 TIMES WHEN THESE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THE 'D'-STEP ARTIFICIAL SHIFTER TECHNOLOGY IS GOING OUT OF SYNC WITH REST OF TRANSMISSION ROTATION SPEED AND CAUSING THE GEARS TO GRIND DURING THOSE D-STEP ADJUSTMENTS.

VEHICLE HESTIATES - IT JERKS AND SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING NORMALY AROUND 20 MPH, AND ALSO AROUND 40 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T SHIFTING PROPERLY AND CAUSING ABNORMAL VIBRATION AND INSTABILITY WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE NORMALY. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND URBAN HIGHWAYS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS - AND AS RECENTLY ON SUNDAY AUGUST 27, 2017.

TIRES ARE LOSING PARTICLES OF THE RUBBER. THE TIRES ARE DETERIORATING IN THE MIDDLE MOSTLY
