2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE PRESSURE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES GOES OUT AND REQUIRES YOU TO PRESS BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, NOT REQUIRING DRIVER ENOUGH TIME TO BRAKE PROPERLY AND CAN CREATE A TRAGEDY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING.

ALL FOUR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED TWICE ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED NISSAN RECOGNIZED THAT IT WAS A FACTORY ISSUE, BUT NOW THAT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT IS HAPPENING AT A HIGH FREQUENCY FOR OTHER NISSAN OWNERS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

CAR WILL NOT START AND DOES NOT TURN OVER. TRIED BATTERY, DIFFERENT FOB, NEW FOB BATTERIES, ROLLING VEHICLE, TRIES STARTING IN NEUTRAL, ETC. NO RESULTS. FEELS LIKE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT IN LOCKED POSITION

WHILE DRIVING THE AUTOMOBILE MADE A LOW BUZZING SOUND AND IMMEDIATELY STOPPED MOVING. ALL POWER WAS LOST. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE AUTOMOBILE, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO STILL ON AND WORKING. I ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR ONCE AND THE AUTO ACCELERATED AND ALL POWER WAS LOST AGAIN, THIS TIME COMPLETELY. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY REGULAR NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. DIAGNOSIS: BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. WHILE ON MY WAY FROM WORK, THE EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO AUTONATION NISSAN AGAIN AND AS I TYPE THIS COMPLAINT THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO ARRIVE AT THE PROPER DIAGNOSIS. I AM ALL OF A SUDDEN IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE, HAD I BEEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY (I-95, SR-826, FL TURNPIKE, ETC. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WITH THESE TWO SUDDEN STOPS IF I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS AUTOMOBILE. IT IS IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. ONLY CONSTANT ISSUES WITH "TIRE SENSORS" EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED.

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO STUMBLE AS IF IT WAS FUEL STARVED AND WAS LOSING POWER AND WANTED TO STALL. PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND GOOSING THE GAS AT IDLE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS KEPT THE VEHICLE GOING UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CAM AND CRANK POSITION SENSORS. ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME TWO PARTS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED. THEY LASTED LESS THAN ONE DAY AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAJOR REPAIRS BECAUSE OF EITHER THE PARTS OR A COMBINATION OF THE PARTS AND INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS.

HIT A DEER GOING 35 MPH AND DEPLOYED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS. I WAS THE PASSENGER WHEN MY AIRBAG WENT OFF IT HIT MY FACE AND FRACTURED MY MAXILLA, BROKE OFF ONE TOOTH AND MADE ANOTHER LOOSE ENOUGH IT HAD TO BE PULLED OUT ALSO. SPLIT UPPER AND LOWER LIP BOTH NEEDING STITCHES. DO TO THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED AND THE AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOUND THE CAR UNREPAIRABLE AND A TOTAL LOSS.

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE LOCK DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE LOCK BUTTONS (EITHER DRIVER SIDE OR PASSENGER), KEY FOB, OR MANUAL LEVER CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT. THIS COULD CREATE A SITUATION OF DEATH BY BURNING.
