2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE VEHICLE HAD CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WE HAD TO MAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO AVOID BEING IN A COLLISION.

ON 2/19/21 I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 MURANO ON A WINDY MORNING DOWN I-90 (ISSAQUAH) ON AT AROUND 65MPH IN THE SLOW LANE, AND MY CLOSED SUNROOF GLASS DISENGAGED AND BLEW OFF THE CAR, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AT THE TIME, ELSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR A RECALL, OR AT LEAST REPLACEMENT BY NISSAN CORP. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF AN ISSUE, AND WE'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS. IT MAKES ME EVEN WEARIER THAN I'M AM REGARDING THE ISSUE OF "FOLLOWING DISTANCE" FOR CARS. IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYBODY, AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, MOST LIKELY TO SOMEONE--PERHAPS WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES I SPOKE WITH NISSAN SERVICE IN KIRKLAND, WA AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS "MOST LIKELY HANDLED BY INSURANCE" AND THAT "THERE WAS NOTHING NISSAN COULD DO FOR ME."

WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD YOU CAN HEAR A VERY AUDIBLE SQUEAK AND CLUNK COMING FROM THE PASSENGER REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I PULLED INTO THE GARAGE TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE NOISE, I PLACED A JACK UNDER THE REAR DOOR ON THE PINCH WELD AND RAISE THE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND AND REMOVED THE TIRE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THE THE RIGHT REAR SUBFRAME WHICH CONNECTS TO THE REAR FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH ONLY A FRACTION OF THE METAL REMAINING AROUND THE BUSHING. THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SUBFRAME CONNECTION IS ALSO RUSTED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, THE SUBFRAME ON THE DRIVER IS CONTACTING ABOUT 90 PERCENT OF THE BUSHING THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SUBFRAME IS CONTACTING ABOUT 10 PERCENT OF THE BUSHING. THE RUST ON THE REST OF THE VEHICLE FRAME AND FRONT SUBFRAME IS SLIGHTLY RUSTED. MY VEHICLE IS 2009 NISSAN MURANO WITH 160,000 MILES. THIS IS MY MAIN VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION FOR MY KIDS AND FAMILY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO NISSAN AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN OF THIS MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THIS HAD BEEN AN ISSUE ON THE 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA IN WHICH NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE REAR SUBFRAME RUSTING WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE THIS AND MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS ARE HAVING BUT NISSAN HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL

DRIVER SIDE DOOR REMAINS LOCKED, AND CAN ONLY BE OPENED IF PROPER FORCE IS APPLIED TO THE LOCK AND THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH IS USED.

MY VEHICLE INSPECTION REPORT ON 01/04/2021 RECALL ADVISORY STATED "YOUR VEHICLE HAS ONE OR MORE RECALLS". I FOLLOWED ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY NC VALVE.

TOOK IN MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING TO GET 4 RECALLS FIXED, AND DEALERSHIP STATED THEY COULD ONLY FIX ONE OF THE 4 ISSUES. SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE STATED THE ISSUES FOR THE MODEL OF THE SUV WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE VIN NUMBER, THEREFORE THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T ASSIST WITH ALL 4 ISSUES. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD OF THE SUV ARE ON AND ALL PERTAIN TO THE 4 ISSUES NOT INCLUDED IN THE VIN. HOW CAN I GET THESE INCLUDED IN THE VIN NUMBER SO THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIX THE ISSUES? THE ISSUES ARE AS FOLLOW: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V916000 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V393000 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V066000

I WAS DRIVING IN CITY HEIGHTS ON 43 AND UNIVERSITY WHEN MY 09 URANO JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION . IT WAS NIGHT TIME I WAS BY MYSELF AND THANKGOD FOR A MAN WHO HELPED ME GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I HAD NO POWER OR ANYTHING THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND IT HAPPEND AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY AS I WAS GETTING OF IN LEMON GROVE TURNOFF I WAS LUCKY I WAS GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE I HAD NO LIGHTS POWER NOTHING WORKED COME TO FIND OUT IT IS THE ALTERNATOR FROM WHAT IM READING ONLINE HUNDREDS OF 09 OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO GET DEALT WITH BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE WHEN YOUR CAR LOSES POWER ITS DONE NOT EVEN A JUMP WILL HELP PLEASE RECALL THESE ALTERNATORS . BUYING A NEW ONE DOESNT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 04 MRANO ALTERNATORS. IS HAPPENING TO THE 09 MURANO ALTERNATORS THEY NEED TO BE REBUILD NOT REPLACED THEM I DONT CARE HOW MANY TIMES I NEED TO COMPLAIN OR WHO I HAVE TO CALL TO GET THIS FIXED OBVIOSLY IT IS NISSAN RESPONIBILITY CAUSE ITS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR YOU GUYS TO REGOGNIZE HOW BAD OF A PROBLEM THIS IS.

EXACT SAME ALTERNATOR/LOSS OF POWER ISSUES AS OTHERS HAVE POSTED. CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING. 2 NEW ALTERNATORS. ON MY 3RD...WAITING FOR IT TO GO ANY DAY NOW. THIS DEFECT IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS. SOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS YET NISSAN OR THE NHTSA A HAS DONE ANYTHING TO HELP RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.
