2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE BREAK PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE RANDOMLY. TYPICALLY, I ONLY NEED TO PUSH DOWN SLIGHTLY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY STOP, BUT SOMETIMES, AFTER PUSHING DOWN THE PEDAL LIKE I NORMALLY WOULD, THE CAR DOESN'T SLOW DOWN AT ALL, AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WAIT FOR IT TO STOP. IT'S VERY SCARY, AS I DON'T KNOW IF MY CAR WILL STOP WHEN I NEED IT TO. IN THE PAST, THIS HAS LASTED FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS, THEN RANDOMLY, THE BREAK IS BACK TO NORMAL, AND MY CAR STOPS ON A DIME. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAUSES THIS, BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING A GAMBLE EVERY TIME I START MY CAR TO LEAVE IN THE MORNING OR ANYTIME I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE.

HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM BEING SOFT. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY ARE TELLING US THAT IT IS A $1,900 PART (ACTUATOR) WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2009 MURANO'S. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IMPACTS THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP.

IN DECEMBER 2017, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE BRAKES WENT SOFT AND ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE BLED. FOUR MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKES WENT SOFT AGAIN AND ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AFTER PUMPING THEM ABOUT 10 TIMES, THEY RETURN TO NORMAL. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME. SO FAR, THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKING BUT AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANY LONGER.

APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK SEAT EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. IT IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE DOOR, BUT BASICALLY FLAPS LOOSELY, AND DOES NOT OPERATE WHATEVER DOOR OPENING MECHANISM SHOULD BE ENGAGED WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE IS USED TO OPEN THE DOOR. TWO MONTHS AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE DRIVERS DOOR. A FLAPPY LOOSE, INOPERABLE DOOR HANDLE. BOTH DOOR HANDLES STILL OPERATE FROM THE INTERIOR. THE CAR HAS VERY LOW MILES(86,000 MILES), AND IS MAINTAINED IN REASONABLE OPERATING CONDITION. ONE DEALSER HAS QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $600 TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR EACH DOOR, AND ONE DEALER I CONTACTED WANTED AN ADDITIONAL $130 TO PROVIDE A REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR EACH DOOR. (SERIOUSLY, $260 TO TELL ME THAT SOME CHEAP PLASTIC PART THAT ENGAGES THE DOOR MECHANISM IS BROKEN)' MY IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS THAT BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES, AND IN THE EVENT THAT WE REQUIRE EMERGENCY OR PARAMEDIC SERVICES WHILE LOCKED IN THE CAR, IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE EMT'S, DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE CAR, WE MAY BE DENIED LIFE SAVING EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WHILE JAWS OF LIFE ARE USED TO EXTRICATE US FROM THE VEHICLE, DELAYING MEDICAL SERVICES AS WELL AS DESTROYING WHAT MAY BE AN OTHERWISE 'GOOD CAR'. AFTER REBATES AND FACTORY INCENTIVES I PAID $36,000 CASH FOR THIS NEW CARE, 9 YEARS AGO. IT IS OUT OF REGULAR WARRANTY, PLUS EXTENDED WARRANTY. NISSAN USA HAS DENIED COVERAGE. I AM SHOCKED AT THE LACK OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY. I AM SHOCKED THAT A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE SUCH A DUMB PART FAILURE. I AM DUMB FOUNDED OVER THE COST TO REPAIR WHAT IS BECOMING A KNOWN ISSUE IN OPENING A 'DAMN' DOOR. DEALERS HAVE HIGH PRICES FOR LABOR, AND AFTER MARKET PARTS RECEIVE A 4-5 TIMES MARKUP OVER COST TO MAKE A PART, BUT I AM SCARED ABOUT POTENTIAL FOR HARM, AND THE LACK OF FACTORY ASSISTANCE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A CITY STREET I WENT TO SLOW DOWN BY APPLYING THE BRAKES AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVERY TIME I GO TO STOP AND I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT DURING THE WINTER SO I THOUGHT I JUST HIT SOME ICE AND THE ABS WAS KICKING IN. THERE IS NO ICE ON THE GROUND AND IT'S HAPPENING.

MY NISSAN MURANO 2009 DIED AS I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY, VERY SCARY , EVERYTHING JUST STOPPED , SAYS BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR , REPLACE TWICE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED YET AGAIN WITHIN A CPL OF DAYS, SO NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT ARE ON , ON MY DASHBOARD AND 3 WEEKS WITHOUT MY CAR AND NO IDEA ! I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS FORUMS WITH NO SOLUTION BUT YET THE SAME COMPLAINT , IS NISSAN GOING TO FIX THIS ,

2009 NISSAN MURANO, THE BRAKES GOES SOFT AND ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT DOES NOT STOP AT ALL! WE HAD MULTIPLE CLOSE CALLS. THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED TWICE, BLED FEW TIMES; GOT THE MASTER CYLINDER CHECKED; MULTIPLE TIMES BY DIFFERENT MECHANICS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG FIRST TIME. LAST TIME THEY DID A BRAKE FLUID FLUSH AND BLED. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. MY OLD MECHANIC POINTED ME TO ONLINE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. CONTACTED NISSAN TODAY AND THEY DENIED KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE WILL BE MAJOR FATALITY THAT WILL HAPPEN SOON WITH OVER 120K OF THESE 2009 MODELS BEING ACTIVELY DRIVEN IN THE US.

BRAKE PEDAL WOULD, WITHOUT WARNING, LOOSE PRESSURE AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. COMING TO A NORMAL STOP OR FIRST ENGAGING DRIVE, PEDAL WOULD GO RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND NO ABILITY TO STOP. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT AND INCONSISTENT. VERY DANGEROUS WITH NO BRAKES. DEALER REPLACED THE ABS ACTUATOR. DEFECTIVE ACTUATOR SEEMS COMMON AND A REAL SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LARRY MILLER NISSAN, 2400 WEST 104TH AVE, DENVER, CO 80234) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW BRAKE RESERVOIR CAP AND A DIFFERENT TYPE OF BRAKE FLUID WERE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WOULD BE SENT TO A THIRD PARTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

WELL LETS START WITH THE ENGINE STALLING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSE THE ENGINE LACKS THE POWER TO EVEN MOVE. THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASING NO MATTER WHAT IT DOES'NT GO OFF.THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR RIGHT SIDE UNDER THE CARRIAGE. THE LEFT REAR TIRE IT LOBSIDED AND WHEN IT RAINS THE REAR OF THE CAR FEELS LIKE ITS ON ICE AND SWAYS SIDE TO SIDE IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF EVEN IF YOU INFLATE TO PROPER RANGE AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING HOPE THAT SOME ONE IN YOUR COMPANY DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT YOU MAY END UP IN COURT FIX THEM BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT....ALL THIS IN MOTION. STREET AND HIGHWAY. DOCUMENTATION YES THE WHOLE CAR IS DOCUMENTATION.
