2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

WHEN I MOVED FROM A CLEAN SURFACE PARKING LOT INTO ONE THAT HAD SNOW I FELT THE WHEELS PULSATE (I JUST ACCELERATED TO TURN INTO THE LOT. I MOVED IN THE LOT TO A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED WITHOUT A PROBLEM.) RETURNING TO THE CAR.(WHICH NEEDS A BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION TO START) I PROCEEDED OUT OF THE LOT AND UPON MY !ST BRAKE APPLICATION THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WHICH WAS AT THE FULL MARK.THERE WAS A FULL PEDAL IF IT WAS PUMPED A COUPLE OF TIMES. HAD A FLATBED TAKE TO THE MECHANIC. HE CHECKED FOR LEAKS,FOUND NONE.CHECKED WHEEL BEARING PLAY AND FOUND OK. HE THAN BLEED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE BRAKE PEDAL OPERATES AT THE POSITION BEFORE THE HAPPENING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,060.

NISSAN PERFORMED WARRANTY TO CVT AXLE SEAL AND TRANSFER ASSY. CASE SEALS AT MILEAGE 50,332. THEN AT 55,5570 ON AUG 02, 2011 NISSAN HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE ASSY. (PART NUMBER 3310-JP11B) UNDER WARRANTY , THEN ON DEC 12, 2012, MILEAGE 80,841, THE TRANSFER CASE ASSY. (PART NUMBER 3310-JP11C) FAILED AGAIN WHICH NISSAN REPLACED BUT NO LONGER CONSIDER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND AT A COST TO ME OF $3700.66. THEN AT MILEAGE 80,935 THE TRANSFER CASE ASSY. SEALS BEGAN LEAKING WHICH THE DEALER FIXED UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE PREVIOUS REPAIR WORK. WE CALLED THE NISSAN OFFICE AS WE THOUGHT THE TRANSFER CASE ASSY. WAS COVER UNDER THE CVT SYSTEM EXTENDED WARRANTY. NISSAN IS NOW CLAIMING THIS IS NOT PART OF THE CVT SYSTEM WHICH THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON UP TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SYSTEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE CVT BECOMES UNSTABLE. VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOSES POWER AT TIMES. GOT OFF HIGHWAY RAMP AND CAME TO A NORMAL STOP. STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE HESITATED AND CRAWLED SLOWLY INTO TRAFFIC FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE SURGING FORWARD WITH ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. NEARLY T-BONED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. HAVE GONE THROUGH 4 TRANSMISSIONS SO FAR AND THE DEALERSHIP IS CONTEMPLATING ANOTHER REPLACEMENT. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION WILL FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THE SAME DANGEROUS FAILURE MODE KEEPS SHOWING UP TOTALLY WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, ALSO PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT REMAINS LIT EVEN WITH ADULT RIDING IN PASSENGER SEAT. AIR BAG SAFETY SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A CAR EVER. TPMS LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF WITH TIRES INFLATED AT PROPER PRESSURE. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL MOTORS TO MOVE WHEEL UP, DOWN AND IN, OUT ARE BROKEN AND STEERING WHEEL STUCK IN UP POSITION MAKING THE CAR DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. THEY WANT $933 TO REPLACE THESE KNOWN DEFECTIVE MOTORS. THE WARRANTY THEY PROVIDE FOR THE REPLACEMENT IS FOR 12 MONTHS OR 4000 MILES. NISSAN MUST NOT HAVE MUCH FAITH IN THESE MOTORS. *TR

THE WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON SAYING THE BACK HATCH IS OPEN WHICH MAKES MY AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS CONSTANTLY OPEN AND CLOSE. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY THE BACK HATCH LATCH ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE KEYLESS REMOTE APPEARS TO LOCK THE DOORS AND SET THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE DOOR HANDLE WAS PULLED ALLOWING ENTRY INTO THE CAR WHILE IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE LOCKED. THE ALARM SOUNDS BUT THE CAR CAN BE ACCESSED WHEN IT APPEARS AND SOUNDS AS IF IT IS PROPERLY LOCKED. ONLY THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCKS. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED WHILE IN MOTION FROM THE INSIDE. *TR

I OWN A 2009 NISSAN MURANO S MODEL. MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR POWER LOCK JAMMED 3 DAYS AGO FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHATSOEVER. I WENT TO WORK AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE KEYLESS ENTRY KEY DID NOT UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. ALL OTHER DOORS WERE FINE. I BROUGHT IT THE DEALER ON MONDAY WHO COULD NOT GET THE DOOR UNLOCKED AND THEN NOTIFIED ME THAT THE DOOR PANEL ACCESS WAS IN THE PART OF THE CAR INACCESSIBLE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET THE DOOR OPENED AT ALL. I WAS ASKED TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO NISSAN. I WILL UPDATE THIS COMPLAINT AT THAT TIME. RIGHT NOW THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, NOT TO MENTION THE INCONVENIENCE TO ME AS A CUSTOMER CLIMBING OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE. *TR
