2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BATTERY CHARGING WARNING SENSOR INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LATER SHUT OFF. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES WAS AS RECOMMENDED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON TOOK IT TO SHOP THEY WILL NOT FIX IT SAID THE SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT NEEDS REPLACED. I KNOW THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE BUT THEY TELL ME THEY ONLY RECALLED CERTAIN 2009 MURANO'S BUT LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL NISSANS. SO I AM WONDERING WILL THERE BE A RECALL WITH THIS NISSAN PROBLEM.

MY BRAKES WENT OUT. THE BRAKE CALIPER OR ABS PUMP IS BAD. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE PARTS TO RPLACE ONE AND THEN REPLACE THE OTHER ESPICALLY WHEM THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY GO BACK OUT IN 6 MONTHS. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT IT WENT BAD IN 3 TO 6 MONTHS

ABS? I HAVE LOST BRAKE PRESSURE TWICE, 6 MONTHS APART. FIRST TIME I WAS EXITING INTERSTATE 40, HIT A SMALL HOLE IN THE ROAD BEFORE THE STOP LIGHT AND MY BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO STOP. THE "SPONGY" BRAKE CONTINUED UNTIL I STOPPED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING, THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THE NEXT INSTANCE WAS WHEN I WAS LEAVING WORK. AGAIN, I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE "SPONGY" BRAKE CONTINUED UNTIL I STOPPED, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED. THE BRAKES WERE FINE AFTER THAT. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME WHEN I HAVE NO BRAKES AT ALL?

1. DROVE VEHICLE TO TOWN TO GET GROCERIES. AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES AFTER CAR DID NOT STOP. STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. 2. DROVE CAR BACK HOME. CALLED THE AUBERT TOW SERVICE IN INDIANOLA, IA AND THEY PICKED UP CAR ON A FLAT BED TRAILER AND DELIVERED TO AVIITT AUTOMOTIVE IN INDIANOLA, IA. 3. I AM CLOSING A COPY OF THE DEFECTIVE ISSUE ON THE NISSAN. THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT FAILED. 4. MILES ON THE VEHICLE IS 60,088. 5. THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS 2-16-2017 6. THE MECHANIC STATED THE ACTUATOR IN THE 2009 WAS REPLACED ON LATER MURANO. 7 THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2009 NISSAN MURANO

SPONGY BRAKE; HAD TO BRAKE PUSHING PEDAL ALMOST DOWN TO THE FLOOR. NO WARNING. MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS A CYLINDER ISSUE BUT NOT THE ISSUE. NISSIAN MECHANIC STATED IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 NISSIAN MURANO & THE SOLUTION IS TO REPAIR THE ABS MOTOR MODULATOR VALVE. CAR HAS 91,000 MILES...UPDATED 03/29/17 *BF *CN

PASSENGER AIRBAG NO LONGER WORKS. SENSOR LIGHT ON DASHBOARD IS ALWAYS ON. SUTHERLIN NISSAN SAYS WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE FAIL TO STOP. NISSAN DEALER DIAGNOSED A FAILED ABS SYSTEM. NEW MODEL MURANOS HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING BUT NOT THE 2009.

VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL THAT REQUIRES THE PEDAL BE DEPRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR TO INITIATE BRAKING. BRAKE PADS, BRAKE FLUID, AND BRAKE LINES HAVE BEEN CHECKED WITH NO APPARENT ISSUES. NUMEROUS OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL ARE REPORTING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NO APPARENT RESOLUTION. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE THIS PROBLEM PRESENTS WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP IN AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY INJURIES OR LOSS OF LIFE.

WITHIN A PERIOD OF LESS THAN A MONTH, ALL 4 OF THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS ON ALL 4 DOORS OF MY NISSAN MURANO S HAVE FAILED. INITIALLY, THE PROBLEM WAS ISOLATED TO JUST 1 OR 2 DOORS, AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD VARY AS TO WHETHER THE DOOR WOULD LOCK OR UNLOCK WHEN EITHER PRESSING THE REMOTE ENTRY KEY FOB OR USING THE INTERIOR DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON. NOW, NO DOOR WILL LOCK/UNLOCK AT ALL. THEY CAN ONLY BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED BY PRESSING THE ROCKER SWITCH AT THE DOOR. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, I AM UNABLE TO SECURELY LOCK ALL 4 DOORS. WHEN I EXIT THE VEHICLE, AND MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS, UPON RETURNING, I AM UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS WITHOUT FIRST USING THE KEY IN THE DRIVERS DOOR (THE ONLY 1 WITH A KEY LOCK), AND THEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE, AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE OTHER 3 DOORS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WITH SMALL CHILDREN, AS I CAN NOT LEAVE THEM IN THE PARKING LOT BY THEMSELVES FOR ME TO ENTER THE VEHICLE TO GET THEIR DOOR UNLOCKED. *TR
