2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2013. POWER STEERING LEAKAGE. 3 MECHANICS CHECKED CAR COULDN'T FIND LEAK. I ENDED UP CARRYING FLUID WITH ME CAUSE I NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WOULD GO OUT. THE 4TH MECHANIC CHANGED THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. HE HAS NOW FOUND THAT THE CARE LEAKS WHEN NOT IN MOTION. A POWER STEERING RACK HAS BEEN ORDERED

GOT SERVICE ENGINE SOON ERROR CODE ON MONITOR WITH TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER ON THE ROAD ON 2005 NISSAN MURANO (54000 MILES). LOOKING AT INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS IS CONSISTENT PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR JUST LIKE OTHER NISSAN CARS OF THIS PERIOD (XTERRA, PATHFINDER). THIS IS RELATED TO FUEL SENSOR ERROR WITH P0463 CODE WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR ANY CARS. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS ABOUT $600 TO $ 800. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD RECALL OR AT LEAST PARTIALLY COMPENSATE OWNERS. I WAS ALSO ASKED TO REPLACE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE A FEW YEARS AGO THAT COSTS ABOUT $ 1000/=. ALL THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AS IT CAN STOP CAR ON ROAD AT ANY TIME. I REQUEST AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO INFORM NHTSA AND NISSAN IF SUCH PROBLEM ARISES.

VEHICLE TAKES MINUTES TO PICK UP SPEED ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN IT IS ON A STOP POSITION EITHER IN AN INTERSECTION OR TRAFFIC LIGHT INTERSECTION. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN WHERE IT SLOWLY MOVES, PICK UP A SPEED AND DO THE SAME THING FOR EACH STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC STOP LIGHT. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES A SCREECHING SOUND. IF ABLE TO DRIVE, STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES HAVE THAT SLIGHT SHAKING. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW. TIRES WERE CHANGED AND BRAKES CHANGED BUT ISSUES STILL A BIG CONCERN.

FUEL SENSOR SAYS CAR IS ON EMPTY BUT WILL NEVER FILL UP PAST 1/2 TANK. ALTERNATOR IS OUT NOW & BAD VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 60-70MPH SO COULD POSSIBLY BE U JOINT CONSIDERING EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN DONE THAT WOULD CORRECT A VIBRATION

THE LIFTGATE WON'T LATCH WHEN CLOSED, THEREFORE THE TAILGATE IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED WHEN SHUT. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE BEFORE AND IT WORKED FOR A TIME, BUT HAS NOW REOCCURED.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP OR IN PLACE WHEN DOWN. FALLS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. IT ALSO CAN'T BE USED TO BLOCK THE SUNS GLARE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T STAY AT THE ADJUSTED ANGLE.

MY SEAT IS LOOSE DUE TO FAILURE OF THE 8 WAY ADJUSTABLE CONTROL THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT WAS REPAIRED BY NISSAN 2 TIME ONES WHEN THE CAR WAS 2 YEARS OLD AND RECENTLY I PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. NOW I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY NOW HAVE A BETTER CONTROL AT 2 TIMES THE COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME DETACHED AND LEANED TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE CONTACT PLACED A STACK OF BRICKS TO KEEP THE SEAT STEADY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING LINE DETACHED AND LEAKED FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN CLAMPED THE POWER STEERING LINE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I'M UNABLE TO LOCK/UNLOCK ANY DOORS USING THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTONS IN THE CAR. THEY ONLY LOCK/UNLOCK MANUALLY. THE KEY MANUALLY LOCKS/UNLOCKS THE DRIVER DOOR ONLY. FOB DOESN'T WORK FOR ANY LOCKS, AND IT'S A NEW ONE.

MY INTAKE AIR DUCT COMES OFF,CAUSING STALLING, BAD GAS MILEAGE, RUNNING BAD & THROWING MAFF CODES... THIS PROBLEM BEGIN HAPPENING AROUND EARLY NOVEMBER 2016 & HAPPENS OFTEN. I'M TRYING TO AVOID A CRASH, THIS IS HEART RENCHING.
