2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND TRAVELED INTO AN INTERSECTION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO DOES NOT WORK, IT LED TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ UP ON THIS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MURANO 2009-2015 MODELS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT A CAR COMPANY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS AND THEN TAKE THE STANCE THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE.

WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT ON A LOCAL ROAD, MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN BUT DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL PROVIDED NO RESISTANCE AND THEREFORE WAS APPLIED TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, MY CAR PASSED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT APPROXIMATELY 10MPH. UPON IMMEDIATE INSPECTION BY A TECHNICIAN, THE BRAKE FLUID WAS FLUSHED AND REPLACED WITH DOT 4 FLUID. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL LACKED RESISTANCE, WAS APPLIED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR, AND THE CAR DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNTIL IT WAS TURNED OFF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 10MPH. UNDER A NISSAN BRAKE FLUID SERVICE CAMPAIGN, THE BRAKE FLUID WAS ONCE AGAIN FLUSHED, REPLACED WITH DOT 4 FLUID, AND ABS WAS INSPECTED. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE SINCE THE INSPECTION PASSED AND STATES THE ABS WAS MOST LIKELY ACTIVATED IN BOTH INCIDENTS WITHOUT CAUSE. NO FURTHER EFFORT IS BEING PROVIDED. UPON FILING A CASE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, NISSAN IS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR PER THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN SINCE TESTS PASSED AND DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE SCENARIO. NISSAN AND THE DEALER ARE BOTH UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AND UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ASSURANCE THAT THE BRAKES ARE SAFE TO OPERATE. THEY CONCLUDED TESTING PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED AND HAVE NO ADDITIONAL STEPS TO BE TAKEN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN TERMS OF NOT IDENTIFYING WHY THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED WITHOUT CAUSE AND SUBSEQUENTLY PUTTING CONSUMER LIVES AT RISK. AFTER 2 DANGEROUS INCIDENTS AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, I LACK CONFIDENCE IN THE NISSAN BRAND, WILL NOT PURCHASE AGAIN AND WOULD ADVISE OTHERS OF THE SAME.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKE PEDDLE BECAME SOFT. THE BREAK PEDDLE HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAD A MECHANIC INSTALL NEW PADS AND ROTORS ON BOTH AXLES. AS WELL, HE TRIED TO BLEED THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY WITH NO WARNING AS IF IT IS BEING CONTROLLED BY ANOTHER POWER SOURCE. HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED TWICE. ALSO, HAD A DIAGNOSIS TEST PERFORMED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT YIELDS NO PROBLEMS. THE BATTERY/BRAKE LIGHT MAY COME ON PRIOR TO SHUT DOWN. IF IT DOES, THREE SECONDS LATER VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DEAD. USUALLY THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION - JUST DRIVING ON A ROADWAY. ONCE SHUT DOWN, YOU CANNOT MOVE THE VEHICLE AND HAS TO BE TOWED.

BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY LOW ALL THE TIME JUST BOUGHT CAR LAST WEEK. BRAKES ARE NOT VERY SAFE

AFTER HAVING SOFT BRAKE ISSUE, HAD CAR CHECKED AND PUT ON NEW FRONT BRAKES. NO CHANGE. WAS INFORMED BY NISSAN OF MY ABS ACTUATOR INVOLVING MASTER CYLINDER. I CARRY GRAND CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. WAS WARNED NOT TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES WITH THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF ON MY OWN AND HEARD ABOUT THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATION REGARDING 2009 NISSAN MURANO'S INTO THIS MATTER BY THE NHTSA. I AM A GRANDMOTHER EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREENACRES NISSAN (561-899-4294, LOCATED AT 5353 LAKE WORTH RD, GREENACRES, FL 33463) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

BRAKE FAILURE WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET. BRAKE PEDAL TO FLOORBOARD WITH NO BRAKING ACTION. SLOW RECOVERY WITH GENTLE PUMPING OF BRAKE.

MY 2099 NISSAN MURANO HAS 67,000 MILES, 2 DAYS AGO WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM A LOCAL STORE IN THE RAIN TRYING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE CAR WENT INTO THE INTERSECTION, THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS WERE COMING. BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUES TO GO TO THE FLOOR, CAR DOESNOT STOPS UNTIL STANDING ON THE PEDAL PUSHING IT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE DRAINED THE BRAKE LINES TO GET RID OF ANY AIR AND PUT IN NEW BRAKE FLUID. DID NOT HELP. HE THEN TOLD ME TO LOOK AT THE COMPLAINTS AND OPEN INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE MANY 2009 MURANO HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ALL THE MONEY OWNERS HAVE SPENT TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH NO GOOD RESULTS. I ALSO CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE 2009 MURANO. I AM THANKFUL MY MECHANIC DID HIS HOMEWORK. BUT NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $275.00 A MONTH PAYMENT FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND NOBODY, EVEN THE NISSAN DEALERS ADMIT THAT THERE IS A TRUE PROBLEM OR DEFECT AND NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. WITHOUT YOU ADMITTING THERE IS A DEFECT AND REQUIRING A RECALL IS FORCING PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THESE CARS WITH FAULTY BRAKES. I JUST HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE A DEATH OR TWO FOR THIS DEFECT TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE WITH ALL THE DOCUMENTED ISSUES BEING BASICALLY THE SAME AND YOUR INVESTIGATION BEING OPEN FOR OVER A YEAR I AM SURE MANY PEOPLE WILL BE OPENING LAW SUITS IF DEATH OR INJURY OCCUR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND THESE CAR OWNERS DESERVE MORE THEN WHAT THEY ARE RECEIVING FROM YOU AND NISSAN. TIME TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE GETS HURT OR ANY DEATHS OCCUR. YOUR NOTE SAYS TO RETAIN ANY DOCUMENTATION FOR 5 YEARS, WELL IN 5 YEARS THESE CARS WILL BE14 YEARS OLD AND SEEING THAT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO START AROUND 65,000 MILES, THIS NEEDS FIX NOW!
