2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

FUEL GAUGE SAYS EMPTY WHEN 100 MILES ARE ON THE GAS TANK. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, ELHART, TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME 5 HOURS OF LABOR TO REMOVE THE GAS TANK TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GUAGE SENSORS ARE ACCESSIBLE UNDER THE REAR SEAT FOR REPLACEMENT. ALSO,THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL NISSANS - QUESTS DO HAVE A RECALL ON IT, BUT NO OTHER NISSAN, EVEN THOUGH THEY ALL USE THE SAME FAULTY GAS GUAGE. IT CAUSES PANIC TO THE DRIVER TO SEE THE "EMPTY" LIGHT ON, & THEY CALL FOR HELP, SWERVE OFF THE ROAD, WHEN THEY ARE REALLY NOT EMPTY AT ALL. ALL NISSANS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY GAS GAUGES SO THAT NISSAN DISCONTINUES USING THEM.

ON 02/07/2018 I WAS DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. BRAKES WERE IMMEDIATELY MALFUNCTIONING & PETAL WENT TO FLOOR. I PUMPED BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP. DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND PARKED. 03/16/2018 DROVE TO LOCAL SEARS (ABOUT 1 1/2 MILES). HAD VEHICLE SERVICED AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED IN ADDITION TO BLEEDING BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, BUT PROBLEM WITH BRAKES WAS NOT RESOLVED. WAS ADVISED TO TAKE TO DEALER BECAUSE ABS WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. VERY DANGEROUS!!! IT APPEARS MANY HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS & NHTSA IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING. IT ALSO APPEARS TO BE A PRETTY COSTLY REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWNTOWN, SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS INEFFECTIVE EXCEPT WHEN PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ONLY AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER, WHO IDENTIFIED LOSS OF PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM, FIRST REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT, THEN DIAGNOSING ISSUES WITH ABS. CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND OTHER WEBSITES LIST THIS AS AN ITEM UNDER GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION FOR 2009 MURANOS. THE CAR IS AT APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. ATTACHED IS THE INITIAL DIAGNOSTICS FROM THE DEALER. SUBSEQUENT TO MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER REPLACEMENT, DEALER ASSERTED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND ARE NOW WORKING ON ABS.

DRIVING TO DROP MY KIDS OFF AT WORK, CAR SLID DURING SNOW DRIVING ABS CAME ON. AFTER THAT I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. NO LIGHTS CAME ON NOW MY BRAKES DON'T WORK EXCEPT THE LAST 20%. LOOKED ON LINE AND MANY SAY THE SAME THING, ABS ACTIVATED, THEN NO BRAKES,NO WARNING LIGHT NO CODES.

CVT TRANSMISSION IS SKIPPING. CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHILCE. IT IS BROKEN DOWN MORE THAN I DRIVE IT. ONLY 109,000 MILEAGE

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN ABS ACTIVATES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE TURNED 50K MILES. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING AND HITTING A BUMP AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE BRAKE PEDAL USUALLY RECOVERS AFTER A FEW DAYS. THE VEHICLE WILL STOP DURING BRAKE FAILURE BUT THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT WILL STOP WHICH IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I GUESS SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT BEFORE A RECALL HAPPENS. MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO WAS BOUGHT NEW AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. IT HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES ON IT NOW. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BRAKE MALFUNCTION BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS FROM IT.

AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD RESULTING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP.

AT 67000 MILES THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING . TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, PAID $100 FOR INSPECTION AND THEY FOUND CODE B1018 FOR AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FAILURE AND QUOTED 1449.32 +TAX TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SPOKE WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE NO. 29877528 ON 2-17-2018. ON 2-20-2018 WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD, THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I KNOW THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST, BUT THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AND THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE MOSTLY OCCURRED ON SLICK ROADWAYS OR AFTER TRAVELING OVER A BUMP. AT TIMES, IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILLIAMS WOODY NISSAN (3600 S LIMIT AVE, SEDALIA, MO 65301, (660) 827-1403), BUT NO FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER TO DRIVE TO ANY DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHEN THE FAILURE RECURRED. WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, NO FAILURE CODES WOULD BE DETECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

AIR DUCT ISSUE SAME AS DESCRIBED IN THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO RECALL. THIS IS CAUSING MY ENGINE TO STALL.
