2003 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE CAR STOPS IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND NISSAN DOESN'T CARE. THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL FOR THE SAME THING MY CAR IS DOING BUT BECAUSE MY VIN # IS NOT ON THERE THEY WON'T FIX IT SO I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION AS I DO. IT IS DISGUSTING THAT YOU PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR A RELIABLE CAR AND THEY N KNOW THERE IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THEY DON'T CARE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS BAD ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON ALL THE TIME ALARM GOING OFF ALL THE TIME. ENGINE BURNES OIL VERY QUICKLY. ALL THESE THINGS ARE WRONG WITH THIS YEAR CAR IT IS JUST A LEMON THAT U HAVE TO KEEP POURING MONEY INTO ANDS IT DANGEROUS ON TOP OF IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT 15 MPH AND APPROACHING THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

ON 4/8/15, WHILE ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. STARTED UP AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINS ON CURRENTLY. CONTACTED NISSAN SPECIALIST ON A WEBSITE WHO ADVISED IT COULD BE CRANK POSITION AND/OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR(S). I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE IT SCANNED. POSITIVE FOR CODES P0725(ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION) AND P0340(CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT FAILURE). PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2003. NEVER NOTIFIED BY NISSAN OF RECALL FOR SENSORS(NHTSA #03V4550000). CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON 4/9/16 WHO ADVISED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED, DESPITE HAVING THE SAME COMPLICATION IDENTIFIED BY NISSAN AND NHTSA WHICH NECESSITATED THE RECALL. IN ADDITION, LETTER WRITTEN BY THETECHNICAL 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 ARE REFUSING TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE AS PER THE RECALL. PLEASE ADDRESS. THANK YOU. *TR

2003 NISSAN MURANO STARTED AT 98,000 MILES. LIKE MANY, MANY THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME , WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN SUDDENLY LAUNCHES FORWARD UNEXPECTANTLY! NISSAN TRIED TO LOOK AS IF THEY ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFTEY FLAW BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD FROM 5 YR OR 60,000 MILES TO 10 YR OR 100,000 MILES. PROBLEM IS THE ISSUE A LOT OF THE TIMES STARTS OUTSIDE THOSE PERIMETERS SUCH AS MINE! EVEN MORE, IF THE VEHICLE DOES FALL IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEY REPLACED THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION WHICH ALSO FAILS AS THEY ARE IDENTICLE! IN MY CASE THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD WHEN I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE THEREFORE NISSAN SAYS IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. HOW CAN A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE BE COVERED UNDER A TIME LIMIT? THE DESIGN FLAW IS FOREVER THERFORE THE SAFETY ISSUE IS FOREVER! SO MY LIFE IS DEPENDING ON YOUR HELP TO GET THIS RESOLVED. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF NISSAN PRODUCTS UNTIL THEY LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN MAKE GM, CHRYSLER AND FORD RECALL THAT ARE OVER TEN-YEARS OLD ; WHY CAN'T THEY REQUIRE NISSAN TO DO THE SAME THING? HTTP://HUBPAGES.COM/AUTOS/NISSAN-REFUSES-TO-RECALL-MURANO-DESPITE-MAJOR-CVT-PROBLEMS HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/PROGRAMDETAILS.PHP?MENU=2 HTTP://WWW.NAIRALAND.COM/456635/NISSAN-MURANO-2003-TRANSMISSION-PROBLEM LOOK FOR YOURSELF, GOOGLE WILL SHOW YOU HUNDREDS OF PAGES FILLED WITH NISSANS CVT TRANSMISSIONS FAILING! THIS SHOULD BE 100% LIFETIME COVERED!!!

DRIVER SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. SEAT SUPPORT BRACKET IS BROKEN. IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END ACCIDENT,$100.,000,000 PLUS FOR A DEFECTIVE AUDI DRIVER SEAT. THERE ARE SCORES OF SIMILAR DEFECTIVE DRIVER SEATS INVOLVING NISSAN VEHICLES REPORPATED ON THE INTERNET. WHY DO YOU IGNORE THE POTENTIAL RISK? MAKE NISSAN FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE MAJOR IRREPARABLE DAMAGE RESULTS.

I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN MURANO WITH 88,000 MILES. THE CAR FOR THE MOST PART HAS BEEN RELIABLE. RECENTLY IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD CVT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SAID IT IS TO OLD TO BE CONSIDERED FOR WARRANTY REPAIRED, I HAVE NOTICED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. DESPITE A WARRANTY EXTENSION BY NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS EXCEEDED ANY WARRANTY CONSIDERATION. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES; THIS SHOULD INCLUDE FREE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGES THEY CLAIM MAY CAUSE CVT FAILURES. AT THIS POINT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF NISSAN PRODUCTS UNTIL THEY LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN MAKE GM, CHRYSLER AND FORD RECALL THAT ARE OVER TEN-YEARS OLD ; WHY CAN'T THEY REQUIRE NISSAN TO DO THE SAME THING?

HATCH WILL NOT OPEN HAD PARTS CHANGED AN IT WORKED FOR A WHILE NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WAS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVIBG AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000.

ON JUNE 18TH 2015 MY CAR FELT AS IF WAS LOSING POWER AND THEN MY BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY CAME ON. I CAME TO A SLOW MOVING PACE, LIKE 10 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST ALL POWER. WOULD NOT CRANK. REPLACED BATTERY AND WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THEN AGAIN SAME THING. COULD HAVE REALLY CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT.... DID SOME RESEARCH AND HAD ALTERNATOR TESTED. BAD ALTERNATOR. REPLACED IT. AND AGAIN TODAY SAME THING. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND GETTING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NOT MY CAR. VERY UPSET. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD VERY WELL TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE. I HAVE REPLACED THE CENSOR, BATTERY AND NOW TWO ALTERNATOR'S WITHIN 2 MONTHS.

JUST BOUGHT CAR 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO INCIDENT. STARTED HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP LIGHT. FOOT WAS DOWN TO THE GROUND AND CAR WOULDNT MOVE. CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION SO THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. SINCE MY CAR IS A 2003 THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY MATTER, HOW CAN THIS EXPIRE! IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BUT NISSAN WAS NO HELP! SEEMS THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION BUT CAN'T EVEN GET THE CAR TO GO MORE THAN 10MPH NOW AND IT IS STUCK AT DEALER! I AM STILL TRYING TO SAVE MONEY FOR THE TRANSMISSION THREE MONTHS LATER AND DEALING WITH HAVING TO PAY OVER $400 MONTHLY INCLUDING INSURANCE FOR A CAR I AM NOT EVEN USING!
