2009 NISSAN MURANO WITH AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. *TGW THE CONSUMER FOUND 2 RECALLS RELATED TO THE PROBLEM SHE EXPERIENCED. RECALL 08V066000 AND 08V521000. *JB

CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN. CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES. FOUND THAT THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL INTERLOCK WHICH SHUTS DOWN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

1. ON 4 OR 5 OCCASIONS VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK 2. BLUETOOTH DISCONNECTED 4 OR 5 TIMES 3. AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT COOL 4. ON 2 OCCASIONS THE LIGHTS CAME ON WITHOUT ANY CONTROLS BEING DEPRESSED 5, ON 1 OCCASION THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK AND HAD TO BE CRANKED USING BATTERY CABLES 6. BEEPERS GO OFF WHEN THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO. *TR

THE REAR LIFT GATE ON MY 2009 MURANO IS LOCKED AND WON'T OPEN WITH ANY KEY OR SWITCH. SEARCHED ON LINE AND IT APPEARS THERE IS AN ISSUE BETWEEN THE POWER LIFTGATE AND THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS THAT CAN LOCK OUT BOTH. *TW

THE RACK AND PINION AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2009 MURANO LE IS DEFECTIVE. THE RACK AND PINION HAS STOPPED WORKING TWICE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON THE CAR HAS ALSO FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE STEERING PUMP HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL 2008 AND HAS HAD DOCUMENTED STEERING PROBLEMS SINCE. THE DEALERSHIP (KOPPEL NISSAN) HAS GIVEN ME A HARD TIME AND NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. THIS STEERING PROBLEM CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO STOP WORKING AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WERE MY CHILDREN AND I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THE RACK AND PINION ARE ON BACK ORDER MAY INDICATE THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS TO SUBMIT A LEMON CLAIM TO THE STATE OF NY. I HAVE INQUIRED WITH BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURE WITH NO SUCCESS. I APPROACHING THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION UNDER THE NY LEMON LAW AND FEAR THAT REPAIRING THE RACK AND PINION AND STEERING PUMP WILL NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FILE A CLAIM. WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON WITH TOYOTA I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT TO REACH OUT TO YOU SO THAT YOU CAN ALERT OTHERS WHO MAY BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO PURCHASED JUNE 2008. THE VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH RAIN SENSITIVE WIPERS WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO SET ITSELF BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF RAIN. HE STATED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD STOP. HE ALSO STATED IN LIGHT RAINS, THE WIPERS WOULD OPERATE AS IF THERE WERE HEAVY RAINS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I BOUGHT A USED NISSAN MURANO 2006 AT 52000 MILES. VERY PLEASED WITH THE CAR OVERALL, A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER MY SEAT STARTED MAKING VERY SQUEAKY NOISE. UNTIL YESTERDAY I KEPT DRIVING HAVING NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. ON MY WAY TO WORK MY DRIVER SEAT SNAPPED ON THE LEFT SIDE. I ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY. APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NISSAN DEFECTIVE SEAT BUT THE DEALER SAID THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS. THE PART ALONE IS ABOUT 800$ TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT EVEN OCCURRED EVER. *TR
