2009 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THERE WAS A STABILIZER THAT WAS NOT CONNECTED ON THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE. FOUND OUT WHEN I WAS IN THE MECHANICS. AS FOR THE BRAKES THEY HAVE WORN DOWN QUICKLY AND HAD PROBLEMS. INCLUDING A DRIVER SIDE REAR LINE. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN WHEN TIRES ARE BALANCED.

BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2009-2014 MURANO AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ACROSS SEVERAL FORUMS. THE TRANSFER CASE CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST TO REPLACE IT BY THE DEALERSHIP IS $3500 AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS THAT IF THE TRANSFER CASE IS NOT FIXED THE ENGINE WILL SEIZE UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHILE I'M LUCKY THIS HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME, IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WON'T HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS UNAWARE THAT THEIR TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING. THIS REPAIR IS ALSO NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THIS ISSUE IS ONLY WITH TRANSFER CASES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2009 AND 2014, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. GIVE THAT WHY IS THIS NOT REQUIRED TO BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL, OR AT THE VERY LEAST THE WARRANTY? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS.

MY MURANO LOSES POWER WHILE STOPPED OR UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ALL MY VEHICLE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUT FLICKER AND FLASH. THESES LIGHTS INCLUDE DOME, DASH, RADIO, OUTSIDE LIGHTS HEADLIGHTS, PARK LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY ALWAYS SAY IT'S THE BATTERY. I'VE HAD 5 NISSAN BATTERIES IN 5 YEARS. I'VE HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED WITH NO RELIEF FOR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS

1/31/2020 - BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WENT TO PROCEED WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, CAR LITERALLY DIED AS I ACCELERATED.

MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A RESIDENTIAL HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A PARKED CAR GOING AT A 35-40 MPH SPEED. THE AIRBAGS HOWEVER DID NOT DEPLOY AND BY THE LOOKS OF THE CRASH I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE.I WAS NOT HURT IN THE ACCIDENT MY CAR WAS STOLEN IT WAS REPORTED AND RECOVERED.*DT*JB

WOULD LOSE BRAKE PRESSURE GOING OVER A MANHOLE COVER/ANY UNEVEN SURFACE WHILE BRAKING, GENERALLY BRAKING TO A STOP. THIS WOULD HAPPEN PERIODICALLY FOR ABOUT A YEAR (2016-2017). ON 9/3/2017 I WAS BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT, WENT OVER A MANHOLE COVER AND LOST ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. VEHICLE WOULD STOP BUT YOU WOULD NEED TO PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE ABS CONTROL UNIT WAS INOPERABLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE UNIT 9/14/17. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER (28309423) BUT WAS NEVER CONTACTED. I AM REPORTING THIS NOW AS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE.

HAWKINSON NISSAN (LOCATED AT 5513 MILLER CIRCLE DRIVE, MATTESON, IL 60443, 708-252-3769) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS HAD NO FAILURE WITH THE HCU.

FRONT AND PASSENGER BAGS JUST WENT OUT. WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN A WRECK. VERY STRANGE. WORRIED SICK NOW ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING IT. PLEASE HELP *DT CONSUMER IS STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE.*JB

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FRIGID NIGHT AND SHE FELT THAT SHE NEEDED TO PUMP THE BRAKE UNTIL IT HITS THE FLOOR TO STOP, NEXT DAY AS SHE WAS DRIVING FROM OUR GARAGE IT JUST SLID OFF THE SLOPED DRIVEWAY. I NEEDED TO DRIVE HER TO WORK IN ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THE SPONGINESS OF THE BRAKE MIGHT GO AWAY IF I HAVE A NEW BRAKE PAD. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT IT WAS IF NOTHING WAS DONE TO THE BRAKES IT WAS STILLSPONGY.
