2004 Nissan Murano other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I’ve changed the timing belt, brakes, batteries, fuel injectors and all and still after thirty minutes of me driving Nissan Murano 2004 I have to continuously push on the gas to get the car to move . My car always has a smell of burning rubber after a long period of time driving it . I then pull over for 20/25 minutes to let the car reset or cool down I guess and then when I turn it on it drives ok until the next 25/30 minutes go by. I’ve gotten two alternators brand new and I’m still having the same issues . When I slow down to come to a full stop it feels like my car is jerking on a chain slowly. When I put the car in neutral to come to a stop it doesn’t make the car tremble . I hope and pray I can get some answers or help to guide me in the right direction . I’ve spent over $2000 in labor to this car to still have the same problem.

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME, ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH. WHEN IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHEN I WAS STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO WORK AGAIN PROPERLY. MY HOME WAS 20 MIN OR SO FROM WHERE I STARTED DRIVING. DURING THIS TIME THE SAME THING KEPT HAPPENING OF THE SPEED SLOWING DOWN AND NOT GOING UP EVEN WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR A GOOD 4-5TIMES. UNTIL SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A SAFE PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. A MECNIC CAME TO SEE IT AND TOLD ME IT'S A BAD ALTERNATOR. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SAW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY NISSAN MURANO OWNERS! IT'S SO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT JUST STARTS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. I GOT LUCKY LIKE I MENTIONED AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE A SAFE STOP. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF I DIDN'T. I WAS PREGNANT AND HAD BOTH OF MY TODDLERS IN THE CAR!! I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF IT'S BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR WAS INSTALLED DEFECTIVE TO BEGIN WITH. I CALLED NISSAN AND THE LADY I SPOKE TO WAS NO HELP AT ALL SHE SAID BECAUSE MY CAR IS SO OLD THERE'S NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT!? SERIOUSLY! I HAVE HAD OTHER CARS SAME AS OLD OR A FEW YEARS NEWER AND THAT NEVER PLAYED A IMPORTANT ROLE ON HAVING THE RECALL HONORED BECAUSE IT'S SOMEHING THAT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART ETC.

I HAVE A 2004 MURANO AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. YOU WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT FALLS DOWN IN YOUR FACE AND BLOCKS YOUR VISION. JUST TODAY I WAS DRIVING 70 DOWN A 6 LINE INTERSTATE AND IT FELL DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES. ME BEING 5'8" WHEN IT FALLS IT COMPLETELY BLOCKS MY VIEW AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD SLAMMED THE BRAKES DUE TO AN OBJECT IN THE RD AND I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN A WRECK DUE TO THIS FAULTY SUN VISOR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THESE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED DUE TO IT. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE ADVISE WHAT I CAN DO?? NISSAN PLEASE HELP BEFORE YOUR FAULTY SUN VISOR IS THE DEATH OF ME.

THE SUN VISOR DOESN'T STAY UP AND FALLS DOWN, BLOCKING MY VISION (AN OBVIOUS DANGER). THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 MURANO YET NISSAN WILL NOT COVER A FIX.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 15 MILES. ONCE I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. IT STALLED UNTIL I APPROACHED MY DESTINATION. I TRIED PUTTING TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE VEHICLE AS IT READ IT WAS LOW WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN A MONTH SINCE I'VE GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE. SO MUCH DIFFICULTY GETTING UP HILLS. ONCE I'M ABLE TO GET GOING THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE, HOWEVER ONCE IM AT A STOP IT TAKES OVER 15 SECONDS TO ACTUALLY PICK UP SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE IN OLDER MODEL MURANOS THAT HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE NO WARRANTY LEFT ON THE VEHICLE WHICH MEANS I AM AT A LOST. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS AND I'VE KEPT UP ON ALL OIL CHANGES AND KEEP UP WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS FAULTY CVT NEARLY COST ME AND MY CHILDREN'S LIFE. THEY REALLY SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE AS A PART OF A RECALL

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, MY CAR WON'T REACT TO MY GAS PEDAL. IT HESITATES, THEN LURCHES BEFORE FINALLY CATCHING UP TO SPEED. I'VE GONE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT COUNTLESS MURANO OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME FRONT TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS IN THEIR LATE MODEL CARS AND THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ALTHOUGH TOYOTA HAS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A DEFECT WHICH THEY APPARENTLY CORRECTED IN THEIR NEWER MODELS, BUT CONTINUES TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE OF US WHO OWN 2004 MODELS OR OLDER.

THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP AT TIMES. SEEMS MORE OFTEN TO HAPPEN WHEN CAR IS WARM AND HAS BEEN IN USE FOR A MIN OF 30 MIN. SOMETIMES THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED 1/4 OR 1/2 OR EVEN TO THE FIREWALL. SOMETIME THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD AND GIVE IMPRESSION THAT IT WILL RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL INPUT BUT THEN STALL ( MOTOR DOES NOT STOP BUT FORWARD MOTION DOES). THE REAL PROBLEM IS WHEN CROSSING MOVING TRAFFIC WITH THE TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH THAT I PULL OUT AND THEN STALL. ITS RUSSIAN ROULETTE. NISSAN DEALER SAYS IT COULD BE X,Y OR Z AND I CANNOT START TO CHANGE PARTS WHERE NISSAN CANNOT AFFIRM WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS IN MY OPINION CLOSE TO A "DEATH TRAP" DUE TO THIS STALLING. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE ITS THE TRANSMISSION AS SOMETIME IT WORKS FINE. COMPONENT OF CAUSATION IS UNKNOWN BUT WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS IT SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED BY NOW OR WILL IT TAKE A DEATH TO GET THE WHEELS IN MOTION.

TOWED CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD TRANSFER CASE IS CRACKED AND NEEDS REPLACED FOR $3,800. WAS ALSO TOLD AN OIL SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALSO. READ A LOT OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEM. A LOT POINTING TO A DEFECTIVE PART THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER RECALL.

TRAVELING ON THE INTRASTATE AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, NO ACCELERATION TO THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE REVVED BUT NO RESPONSE. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAD TO TRY TO CROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOT A GOOD THING TO ATTEMPT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC NEAR CHICAGO. I HAD IT TOWED IN, BUT UNSURE OF THE PROBLEM OR THE COST AT THIS TIME.

DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND I HAVE SPENT OVER A 1,000 JUST THIS MONTH ON TRYING TO FIX IT BUT THEY SAY IT IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM THAT THESE CAR HAVE. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING IS DONE BY NISSAN. I BELIEVE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE NISSAN TAKE CARE OF IT. I AM A MOTHER OF 3 AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR SO THAT IS RUNS GOOD. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT OF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AT THE SPEED OF 65 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES NOW AND SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW. TODAY WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE WE ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BIG RENTAL TRUCK, THANK GOD THE GENTLEMAN WAS ABLE TO MAKE A QUICK STOP AND WE DIDN'T GET HIT. PLEASE SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE CARS THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW IS THERE MANUFACTURES FAULT. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS KILLED???

THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE ANCHOR/BRACKET UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT. WHILE I AM DRIVING, THE SEAT ROCKS FROM SIDE TO SIDE, AND DIPS UP AND DOWN. WHEN I TURN, THE SEAT ROCKS A COUPLE OF INCHES DOWN AND THEN POPS BACK AS I COME OUT OF THE TURN. ALSO VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION POWER WHEN COMING OUT OF A COMPLETE STOP.

THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON THE HIGH WAY AT 50 MPH, WHEN IT STARTED TO DECELERATE AND WOULD ONLY GO OVER A MAX SPEED OF 30 MPH. EVEN WITH ACCELERATION, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH. IT WAS DRIVEN TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DECLARED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AS WELL. THIS CAR HAS GIVEN US SO MANY PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAD STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND PRESENTING A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED!!!!!!!!! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

IDLER PULLEY AND BRACKET DESIGN DEFAULT. I JUST TOOK MY CAR IN AFTER AN ALL OF THE SUDDEN CLANGING NOISE - AT 35,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP THAT I REQUIRED A NEW IDLER PULLEY AND BRACKET. APPARENTLY IT WAS BROKEN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN DEFAULT AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. I HAVE HEARD MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME THING. I ENDED UP PAYING $99 FOR LABOR, $69.50 FOR THE PULLEY, AND $25 FOR THE BRACKET. THIS PART FAILING AT 35,000 MILES IS UNACCEPTABLE.
