2003 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT LOW RPM'S. POWER STEERING IS MINIMAL TO NON-EXISTANT WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST, LIKE IN PARKING LOT. 15,000 MILES.*AK

I HAVE HAD TO BRING MY CAR IN 7 TIMES FOR DOORS RANDOMLY LOCKING THEMSELVES. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND 3 TIMES UPON FUELING THE CAR. NO RESOLVE TO THE ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD AT MY LATEST VISIT (YESTERDAY) THEIR CONCLUSION IS THAT IT IS ME LOCKING THEM SUBCONSCIOUSLY! *JB

2003 NISSAN MURANO SE 4WD HAS SEVERAL ISSUES. FIRSTLY THE RIGHT SIDE SUN VISOR CLIP IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL NOT HOLD VISOR IN PLACE: 3 TRIPS TO DEALER HAVE NOT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE AS THEY NEVER HAVE THE PART. SECONDLY THE CVT TRANSMISSION PRESENTS A PROBLEM ON HOLDING THE VEHICLE IN PLACE ON A UPHILL INCLINE...IF YOU DON'T BRAKE, THE VEHICLE JUST ROLLS BACK, AS OPPOSED TO STANDARD AUTO TRANSMISSION WHICH LOCKS, AND PREVENTS SIGNIFICANT ROLLBACK. *CB

BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN CAR IS IN REVERSE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TWICE, AND THEY TELL ME THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN RESPONSIVE AT ALL TO THEIR DEALERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE OUT OF DRIVEWAY VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED. *AK CONSUMER ALSO HAD DRIVESHAFT AND DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. *PH

OVER 20 DIFFERENT RATTLE, SQUEAK, TAP, CREAK NOISES COMING FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN THREE TIMES (TOTAL OF 21 DAYS IN THE SERVICE BAY) TO ATTEMPT REPAIR, BUT NO RESULTS....THE NOISES KEEP COMING. NOISES OCCUR WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR ANY SLIGHT IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD, ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS FLEXING OR WHN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 40 DEGREES.....IT GETS EVEN WORSE! DEALER CAN'T FIX IT.*AK

BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE TO NO EFFORT. DURING A PANIC STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CAR STOPS. ALSO, WHILESTANDING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE PEDAL WILL SLOWLY SINK DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE TO NO PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL. *AK
