2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

MY HUSBAND WAS IN DALLAS GETTING HIS PASSPORT AND SOME MAN RAN A STOP SIGN HIT A POLICE OFFICE TWO OTHER CARS AND MY CAR THAT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING. THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY TO HELP AND MY FATHER IN LAW WHO WAS IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WAS INJURED.

WHEN I HIT A POT HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SOME BRAKING. TAKES A LITTLE TIME FOR PEDAL TOO BECOME FIRM AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. NO WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE ABS SYSTEM. FROM ALL COMPLAINTS ON LINE NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. I AM REMOVING THE ABS FUSE SO I WILL HAVE DEPENDABLE BRAKES UNTIL NISSAN CAN DETERMINE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BESIDES REPLACING WHOLE ABS SYSTEM. HAVE 88,000 MILES ON CAR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE BRAKES APPEAR MOST OF TIME TO BE FINE, CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT OR CODE WHEN THIS OCCURS.

IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP VERY WELL. SOMETIMES I TRY TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND CANNOT ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH AND FEEL TERRIBLY FRIGHTENED THAT I WILL BE HIT FROM BEHIND AS A RESULT. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN GOING UPHILL. AFTER 5 SECONDS MAYBE IT KICKS IN AND BEGINS ACCELERATING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCS AND TPMS SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT SUPPORTED THE DEALER'S RECOMMENDATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. UPDATED 06/10/16*LJ *CN

GETTING RUMBLING NOISE WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING ON LOW GEARS. HAPPENING FROM LAST 3 YEARS. ONLINE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINING THE SAME PROBLEM.

CAR BRAKE IS SPONGY AND WOULD HAVE TO PRESSED TO THE FLOOR BEFORE CAR STOPS. AT THE INITIAL APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES, THE CAR EJECTS FORWARD AND THEN STOPS. THERE IS VERY LITTLE PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM.HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT APPEARS TO BE THE ABS SYSTEM. DOING ONLINE RESEARCH , THERE APPEARS TO BE A COMMON TREND OF BRAKE DEFECTS ON THIS MODEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD AND ARM INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL .... MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 3 YRS. NOW AND WHEN IT HAS BEEN HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER RESULTS ALWAYS COME BACK THE SAME... ERROR IN AIRBAG. NOW I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT EVEN THOUGH I MAY HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG MY VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST SO THEREFORE THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO HAVE IT FIXED. NOW THEY DID TELL ME THAT ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS AND WITH THE VIN # THAT WAS GIVEN TO THEM IN OCT 2008 MY MURANO ALREADY HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON. SO BASICALLY WHAT THEY WERE SAYING WAS THAT MY MURANO HAD ALREADY USED THE ONE FREE SERVICE CHECK IN OCT 2008 FOR AIRBAG. FIRST OF ALL, MY VEHICLE IS AN 09, SO NISSAN ALREADY ADMITTED THAT ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS AND MY VIN # THAT I WAS ALREADY HAVING AIRBAG ISSUES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO BE SOLD. I PURCHASED IT AT BEGINNING OF 2012 AND 2013 IS WHEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. NOW I HAVE HAD IT CLEARED AND SEEMS LIKE IF IT IS COLD CAUSE I DO LIVE IN OHIO, BUT IF I CLEAR IT TODAY AND IT'S NOT REALLY COLD IT MAY NOT COME ON, BUT AS SOON AS IT GETS COLD IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. NOW THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHERE IT HAS BEEN CLEARED AND AS SOON AS YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND START IT BACK UP IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. I ALSO AM HAVING ISSUES WITH TPMS, NO MATTER WHAT TIRES I BUY I AM CONSTANTLY BATTLING THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. IT'S BEEN TAKING TO TIRE SHOPS AND BEEN CHECKED FOR SLOW LEAKS AND LEAKS AROUND THE VALVE STEM, NOTHING. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTORS IN MT STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE WENT OUT ON ME. NOW MY NEW ISSUE IS MY AIR VENTS. WHEN THE DEFROST IS ON CERTAIN AIR VENTS DO NOT SHUT OFF, AIR STILL COMES THROUGH THEM. AND IN THE WINTER I FEEL LIKE THERE IS COLD AIR BLOWING UP THROUGH THE FLOOR. NO ISSUES WITH 04 MURANO

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND THE MAIN AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE BOTH ON OUR MURANO. WE ARE SEEING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AS IN THE RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2009 NISSAN MURANOS AND OUR MURANO IS BARELY OUTSIDE THE WINDOW OF RECALLED MURANOS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T HELP US SINCE IT WAS BUILT BARELY OUTSIDE THE DATES OF THE RECALLED MURANOS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. PLUS NISSAN KEEPS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH DIFFERENT YEARS OF MURANOS, SO IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS THEY HAVE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ORC MODULE FAILED AND THE PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,400.
