2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OSC SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO HAD 5 FAILURES. ITS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. THE FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THAT DEAD END TO ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OTHER HIGHWAY. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. THE BRAKES USUALLY GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN. ON 3/17/16, THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE BRAKES DID NOT GO BACK TO NORMAL. I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AND THEY NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE BRAKES. ON THE FIRST 4 ISSUES, WE BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THE BRAKING FAILURES HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY NISSAN. I'VE READ MANY BLOGS ON THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FOR IT TO BECOME A RECALL, DO PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUMPED SEVERAL TIMES AND FELT LIKE A SPONGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED A SECOND TIME AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ABS ACCUMULATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

RADIO (AND) CLIMATE SYSTEM) KNOBS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. RADIO SOMETIMES GOES TO FULL VOLUME WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERVENTION STARTLING THE DRIVER AND DIVERTING ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD TO TRY TO CONTROL THE RADIO VOLUME. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON ALL KINDS OF ROADS AT VARIOUS TIMES. DATE LISTED BELOW IS NOT ACCURATE. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS AND ONGOING PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES AND DATES. IT STARTED SOMETIME IN 2013 OR 2014.

BRAKES GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND AFTER A WHILE THEY GO BACK TO NORMAL THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING BUT NOT ALL TO TIME HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST I WAS TOLD FROM MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER THAT THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE DEALER DECIDED TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER A SECOND TIME, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE ROTORS, BLED THE BRAKE LINE TROUBLE SHOOT, AND FOUND THAT THE ABS ACCUMULATOR MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OPENED AN INVESTIGATION AND CASE ON THE CONTACT'S BEHALF. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHEN I WAS COMING OFF OF AN EXPRESSWAY AND CAME TO A STOP, I HAD TO PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. UPON RESTARTING MY CAR, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A FAULT IN THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS WAS IMPEDING NORMAL DRIVING OPERATIONS...THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $2600 TO REPAIR IT, ALTHOUGH THIS IS A FAULTY CONDITION IN THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURING (SOMETHING I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR). I'VE HAD TO DISABLE THE ABS CONTROLLER IN THE MEANTIME.

VEHICLE WITH 70,000 MILES HAS HEAD GASKET LEAK. CAR HAS ONLY BEEN MAINTAINED BY DEALER FOR SERVICING. AFTER RESEARCHING MANY NISSAN OWNERS HAS HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE. SHOULD THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED OR SHOULD CONSUMERS BE GAUGED FOR $40,000 FOR A VEHICLE THAT WILL ONLY LAST 70,000 MILES BEFORE HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS. ALSO I CONTINUOUSLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM.

1-10-2016 BETWEEN 7:00 AND 7:30 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME, CAR IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET. IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE AND SNOWING, THUS SLICK ROADS. BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. BARELY MOVED AND VERY QUICKLY ALL ELECTRRICAL COMPONENTS WENT DEAD. STUCK IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT AN INTERSECTION, I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS IN FEAR OF BEING REAR ENDED. MY HAZARDS FAIRLY QUICKLY GOT DIMMER AND DIMMER. CALLED 911 AND ASKED TO HAVE A PATROL CAR PARK BEHIND ME WITH LIGHTS ON UNTIL MY HUSBAND COULD GET THERE TO TRY TO JUMP ME. CAR WOULD NOT SRART. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON DOING THERE OWN THING. COULD NOT SHUT THEM OFF. EVENTUALLY THEY TOO DIED. COULD NOT PULL OVER DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CAR MOVED TO SLOW WHEN ISSUE BEGAN. PATROL CAR DID COME AND PARKED BEHIND ME WITH LIGHTS ON IN ORDER TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. HUSBAND CAME AND WAS ABLE TO JUMP START VEHICLE. ISSUE ALSO HAPPENED WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT, CAR IN MOTION. HUSBAND JUMP STARTED CAR. ALSO HAPPENED WHILE TAKING CHILD TO SCHOOL, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ACCELERATED AND CAR THEN GOT POWER BACK WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET. NISSAN TECH SAID NISSAN CONSIDERS THIS AN INCONVENIENCE. I WAS SCARED OB BEING KILLED. ALSO, MY PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON STATING IT IS OFF. HAS BEEN ON SINCE ISSUE BEGAN. TAKING TO SHOP TO BE REPAIRED TODAY, BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS THE ALTERNATOR BUT NOT 100% SURE. WILL KEEP ALL RECEIPTS AND OTHER RECORDS OBTAINED.

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN MURANO THAT IN MY OPINION HAS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY FLAW. A SMALL SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS DECIDED NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON(THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT ON THE DASH JUST BEGAN TO BLINK BACK ON 9/6/15, I RESET IT SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT JUST CONTINUED TURNING BACK ON) THAT SENSOR NOW CAUSES FOR NEITHER AIRBAG (PASSENGER OR DRIVERS SEAT) TO WORK IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10/17/15 AND THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE THAT IS $ 3568 PLUS LABOR FOR REPAIR, I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND ALL THEY COULD DO IS GIVE A 50% DISCOUNT FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR THIS AS IT IS A GREAT SAFETY FLAW OF THE VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT AS NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL FUNCTION IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT.
