2003 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH CHILDREN 65MPH COMING FROM AIRPORT, STARTING LOSING SPEED QUICKLY, BRAKE LIGHT AND CHARGING(BATTERY) LIGHT CAME LUCKILY MADE IT SIDE OF HIGHWAY DESPITE, HONKING HORNS AND SCREAMING KIDS, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS IS ON TOP OF THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU WILL PRESS ON GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOESN'T GO AND THEN SUDDENLY LUNGES FORWARD, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR- ENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DUE TO THIS. I HAVE PURCHASED NEW BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ETC. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE SENSOR REPLACED. THIS CAR IS SO UNSAFE AND HAS BEEN A MONEY PIT. MANY MECHANICS INCLUDING NISSAN MECHANICS SAY THEY TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND DON'T SEE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM.

MY CAR WAS RUNNING SLUGGISH AND LOW POWER WHEN TURNED ON LIGHTS, WHEN TESTED BATTERY IT WAS FINE BUT VOLTAGE LOW SO I GUESS ITS NOT CHARGING BATTERY. DOESN'T START ALOT OF TIMES. ENGINE RUNS HOT QUICK, PUT NEW BATTERY DID SAME AND ONE DAY THE BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THEN WHILE DRIVING IT JUST STOPPED LIKE I WAS GIVING IT GAS BUT CAR WASN'T MOVING. NOW IT WONT START AT ALL. THERE MAY BE A TINY OIL LEAK BUT DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE AND IT DRIVES ROUGH BUT THEY SAY MY SHOCKS AND STRUTS AND SUSPENSION AND EVERYTHING IS OK. *TR

DRIVING CAR LOST POWER AND CAME TO A STOP ,HAD TO HAVE IT TOW BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T STAY RUNNING. *TR

THE PROBLEM WITH MY NISSAN MURANO LIKE SO MANY OTHERS IS THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WASTED $125 DOLLARS. I ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN COOPERATE AND THEY HAVE NOT DID ANYTHING. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A MANUFACTORY PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROBLEM I SEEN THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT I AM 20,000 MILES OVER IT I NEED HELP

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2012, USED- BAG AN HAVING ISSUES IMMEDIATELY, INCLUDING , NO HEAT, STALLING, WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN ON THEIR OWN IN WINTER- RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT FOR 1 WEEK, SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT THE FUEL PUMP. WE REPLACED IT AND TROUBLE CONTINUED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID TO TAKE TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC, A CERTIFIED NISSAN MECHANIC NOW LOOKING IT OVER AND CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, WE HAVE THROWN SO MUCH MONEY INTO TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK. OVERHEATS AND CAN NOT CLIMB EVEN THE SMALLEST OF INCLINE WITHOUT OVERHEATING, THE NISSAN COMPANY WANTS US YO PAY FOR ALL THE TESTING THEY REQUIRE, WE HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT DRIVABLE OR RELIABLE IN ANY WAY- AFTER 4 YEARS THERE IS STILL NO ANSWERS AS TO WHY IT WILL NOT RUN PROPERLY, SO DISAPPOINTING YO PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT LOOKS GOOD AND IS COMFORTABLE, AND HAS BECOME A LAWN ORNAMENT THAT STILL HAS A LARGE BALANCE TO PAY- DOES NISSAN PRODUCE THINGS THEY WALK AWAY FROM LAUGHING AT THE CONSUMERS FOR PURCHASING A NON REPUTABLE VEHICLE. SO AGGRAVATING TO BE TOLD IT IS OUR PROBLEM, FEEL AS THOUGH I COULD HAVE GONE TO THE JUNKYARD AND PURCHASED A WRECKED VEHICLE AND HAD BETTER RESULTS, WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON A VEHICLE WE PURCHASED WITHOUT THE RUN AROUND. SOUNDS LIKE THEY MADE A PROBLEM CAR FROM THE OTHER COMMENTS ON HOW OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES, WITHOUT ANY ANSWERS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING AND OVERHEATING AND NO PRODUCTION OF HEAT IN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ISSUE SINCE PURCHASING IN 2012 TO NOW 2016, JUST WOULD LIKE SOME SORT OF ANSWERS.

ON 6/15/15, WHILE ON HIGHWAY MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. STARTED UP AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. I SCANNED FOR ERROR CODE AND I'VE GOT P0340 (CRANK POSITION AND/OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR(S)). ON 6/26/15 I TOOK THE CAR TO HILTON HEAD NISSAN DEALER IN HARDEEVILLE, SC - THEY SCANNED IT POSITIVE FOR CODE P0340(CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT FAILURE) AND THEY REPLACED THE TWO SENSORS. THEY NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT NISSAN RECALL FOR SENSORS (NHTSA #03V4550000). I FOUND TODAY ABOUT THIS RECALL AND CALLED NISSAN DEALER ON 6/27/16 - THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS TO OLD TO APPLY THE RECALL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT NISSAN MURANO 2003 IS SPECIFIED ON THE RECALL AND DESPITE HAVING THE SAME COMPLICATION IDENTIFIED BY NISSAN AND NHTSA WHICH NECESSITATED THE RECALL. IN ADDITION, LETTER WRITTEN BY THE TECHNICAL COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT OF NISSAN TO THE NHTSA, DATED 12/4/03, CLEARLY STATES THAT MY CAR IS INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES. NO UPDATED LETTER OR OTHER PUBLIC INFORMATION FOUND STATING THAT CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE CAR REPAIRED. THIS IS A GROSS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOT CLEAR AS TO WHY THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE AS PER THE RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY FOR SENSORS REPLACEMENT. PLEASE ADDRESS. THANK YOU. *TR
