2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SUB FRAME WAS EXTREMELY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO CALLED AN UNKNOWN LOCAL DEALER LOCATED IN NEW JERSEY. THE DEALER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DECLINED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000.

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING FUEL LEVEL. HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN FUEL IS BELOW 1/2 TANK. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURS REGARDLESS IF VEHICLE IS PARKED OR DRIVING. STARTED OCCURRING WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2019

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I HIT THE GAS TO GO WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. IT TOOK ABOUT 20 SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD GO AND WHEN IT DID IT ACTED LIKE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL WHICH I DID NOT. IT HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TWICE. NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE THE FACT THAT THE CAR STALLS.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STARTED BLINKING AND WILL NOT STOP. TOOK 2009 MURANO TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE AIRBAG SENSORS WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT TO FIX IT, AT A COST OF OVER $5,000. THE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN 08V521000, WHICH HIGHLIGHTS THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM YET MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOW CAN THIS BE? NISSAN SHOULD COVER THIS SEVERE SAFETY FAILURE THAT IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2009 MURANOS. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS ABOUT 80,000 MILES. VEHICLE NO LONGER FEELS SAFE TO DRIVE AND REPAIR COST IS PROHIBITIVELY HIGH.

TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING. KNOWN DEFECT IN NISSAN MURANOS. THE DEALERSHIP RESEALED THE TRANSFER CASE THE FIRST TIME ($2000 +). TWO WEEKS LATER IT STARTED LAKING AGAIN. THEY FIXED IT FOR FREE UNDER REPAIR WARRANTY. TWO MORE WEEKS LATER, THEY ARE SAYING I NEED A NEW TRANSFER CASE WHICH WILL COST $4000. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

NISSAN PREFORMED WORK ON THIS VEHICLE FOR RECALL # RECALL 18V916000. A YEAR LATER THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED AND NISSAN SAYS WE ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILL BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO FIX RECALLS ONCE

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED A SECOND INSPECTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE INSPECTOR THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUBJECTED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V916000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALL NISSAN VIRGINIA BEACH (3757 BONNEY RD, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23452) AND REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE TRAVELLED OVER A POTHOLE AND THE SUB-FRAME DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SUB-FRAME DETACHED DUE TO CORROSION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS AND VEHICLE ENTERS FAILSAFE 'LIMP' MODE WHEN TRANSMISSION IS AT PEAK OPERATING TEMPERATURE (APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES OF STOP AND GO ACCELERATION FROM A COLD VEHICLE). VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUTTER (SHAKE) WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE SHUTTERING DURING ACCELERATION PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE TO A POINT THE VEHICLE ENTERS A FAILSAFE 'LIMP' MODE. ONCE IN FAILSAFE 'LIMP' MODE YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO ACCELERATION AND VEHICLE TRAVELS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MPH. THIS PUTS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE IN GRAVE DANGER, ESPECIALLY IN SCENARIOS WHILE IN A LEFT TURN LANE WITH 50 MPH ONCOMING TRAFFIC THAT I HAD TO EXPERIENCE WITH MY FAMILY. THE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION; $5,000. THE VEHICLE HAS A CURRENT MARKET VALUE OF $5,000. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS OF THE REPAIR. CVT TRANSMISSION DEFECTS ARE A KNOWN PROBLEM AND NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO 10 YEARS / 120,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE IS 11.5 YEARS OLD AND AT 127,000 MILES AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR.

2009 NISSAN WITH 174,220 MILES NOTICED STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT ALIGNED AND BACK WHEELS WERE NOT LINING UP. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WANTS TO SWAY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OR BOTH WHEN A BUMP IS HIT IN THE ROAD. THE MURANO WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED AND THEY STATED THAT THE K-FRAME ON THE REAR WAS RUSTED AND BROKE COMPLETELY IN HALF CAUSING MY TIRES TO FLARE OUT AND WORN TO THE BELTS ON THE INSIDE OF BOTH REAR TIRES. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON 2005-2010 MURANO'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS SURELY A RECALL THAT THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER WOULD NEED TO REPLACE. NOW I WILL NEED THE FULL K-FRAME REPLACED, NEW EXHAUST AND TIRES.
