2003 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

DRIVING ALONG ROAD AT 40 MPH AND CAR JUST CUT OUT, LOSS POWER . THIS HAPPEN A FEW TIMES AND ALSO HAD PROBLEMS STARTING VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR 630,000 NISSAN MURANO'S BUT MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT ONE OF THEM . I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN CAN ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING A PORTION OF THE CARS OUT THERE WHEN I HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND THIS HAPPENS TO ME AND THEY WILL FIX OTHERS BUT MY WIFE MAY DIE IN A CAR CRASH BECAUSE NO ONE RECALLS THE CAM SENSORS ON ALL OF THE 2003 NISSAN MURANO'S INSTEAD OF JUST SOME. THANK YOU JAMES M. DICKERSON

MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GIVEN GAS. YOU CAN HOLD THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN KICKS IN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN OR CROSSING A STREET. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND NISSAN KEEPS TELLING ME DIFFERENT THINGS. IT SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM FROM POSTS I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS. *TR

SUN VISOR FLOPPING IN FACE THEY HAVE GIVEN OUT AND NISSAN WONT COVER THEM , THEY ARE JUST ARE FINE FOR A WHILE THEN WILL JUST FLOP DOWN IN YOUR FACE AND WHILE YOUR DRIVING THAT IS SO UN SAFE. *TR

2003 MURANO - WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR 5-10 SECONDS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND FIRST SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION BUT THEN NISSAN WOULD NOT APPROVE IT TO BE REPLACED EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. THEN TOLD ME IT WAS THE TCM THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1000.00. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND REPLACE THESE FAULTY DANGEROUS PARTS FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER! INSTEAD OF DIAGNOSING IMPROPER THINGS AND CHARGING THE CUSTOMER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR NON-FIXES. *TR

SUN VISOR ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FALL DOWN AT WILL. VISORS STAY IN ROOF CLIP BUT SIMPLY ROTATE AND FLOP DOWN. SAFETY HAZARD AS DRIVER'S VISION MAY BE OBSTRUCTED. COSTLY REPLACEMENT ONLY GOOD FIX. *TR

2003 NISSAN MURANO. DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BROKE, CAUSING SEAT TO PITCH DOWN AND TO THE LEFT. VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 69,000 MILES. ALL DRIVER'S UNDER 200 LBS. *TR

I OWN A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.. LAST NIGHT WE WERE DRIVING ON A VERY CURVY MOUNTAIN ROAD WHEN A CAR CAME INTO SIGHT. WHEN WE SWITCHED TO DIM, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THIS PUT US IN TOTAL DARKNESS. IT TOOK A MINUTE TO ADJUST OUR EYES AND REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DIMMER SWITCH IS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SWITCH TO TURN THEM OFF IS ON THE END OF THE DIMMER HANDLE. WE KEEP OUR RUNNER LIGHTS ON EACH TIME WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR. SOME HOW WHEN YOU GO TO SWITCH THE LIGHTS THE KNOB TURNS TO OFF, WHICH MAKES THEM GO OUT, WHEN YOU SWITCH FROM BRIGHT TO DIM AND FROM DIM TO BRIGHT. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN. I WONDER IF OTHER FOLKS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE DID NOT CRASH. *TR

REGULAR USE OF THE SUN VISOR IN MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE SUNVISOR FAILS TO STAY UP AND IS VERY LOOSE AND WILL FALL DOWN DURING DRIVING, WHICH THEN OBSTRUCTS THE FIELD OF VISION OF THE DRIVER SERIOUSLY COMPROMISING SAFETY. THE SUNVISOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACE, AND/OR THE MECHANISM THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HOLDING AN UP POSITION OF THE SUNVISOR. *TR
