ENGINE

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.

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

ENGINE

I HAVE A REPEATED ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH MY CAR. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT MY ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED IMPROPERLY BUT I WAS RECENTLY ON THE NHTSA PAGE AND FOUND OVER 20 COMPLAINTS THAT EXPRESSED THE SAME EXACT ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING. THAT ISSUE BEING THE FACT THAT MY CAR, WHEN IN MOTION WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AND GO INTO NEUTRAL. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND FOR ME HAS HAPPENED BOTH TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 75 MPH. ONCE THE CAR STALLS OUT, THE POWER STEERING WILL ALSO GO OUT IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AT THAT TIME. THEREFORE, YOU HAVE ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO ROLL YOUR CAR TO A SAFE SPOT IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH. THERE IS NO TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON, AS WHEN YOU TRY TO DO SO ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START BACK UP AS THE BATTERY IS DEAD OR CLOSE TO IT. IF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU CAN GET JUMPED BUT THE BATTERY BECOMES SO DRAINED THAT IT CANNOT EVEN HOLD A CHARGE FOR A MILES WORTH OF POWER. BOTH TIMES I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY MURANO TOWED INTO A SHOP. THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED I WAS TOLD I NEED MY BATTERY REPLACED AS IT WAS DEAD AND THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF MY ENGINE FAILURE. THIS SOUNDED STRANGE TO ME AT THE TIME, AS THE BATTERY THAT I HAD WAS A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR OLD BUT I WAS JUST WANTING TO PICKUP A WORKING CAR AND PUT THIS BEHIND ME. MY CAR WORKED PROPERLY FOR 48 DAYS BEFORE I AGAIN, HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE OCCUR TO ME, WHILE AGAIN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 75 MPH. THIS TIME, THERE WAS NOT ADEQUATE SPACE ON THE HIGHWAY TO PULL OVER AND I HAD TO CALL 911 IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH. AGAIN, I HAD MY CAR TOWED AND WAS NOW TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH I THEN HAD REPLACED. I AM NOW WORRIED THIS ISSUE WILL REOCCUR AS PEOPLE ARE STATING THEY HAVE HAD THEIR ALTERNATOR REPLACED 2 AND 3 TIMES AND ARE STILL BEING PUT IN THESE SCARY, ENGINE FAILURE SITUATIONS

I INFORMED THEM THAT I HAVE THE ALTERNATOR CHANGED LEST THAN 30 DAYS. THE CAR IS A LEMON BECAUSE OF THE ABS MODULE THAT NISSAN CANOT FIX OR UNABLE TO FIX. EVERY TIME THAT CAR IS IN MOTION, THE ABS LIGHT TURN ON AND THE CAR STOPS ABRUTLY. I HAVE TWO TEENAGERS WHO DRIVES MY CAR TO GO TO SCHOOL. IT BECOMES A HAZARD AND UNSAFE DUE TO THE RECALL OF THE ABS MODULE .

ENGINE

I OWN A NISSAN MURANO 2009, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR. THE CHARGER WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LAMPS WILL IMMEDIATELY COME ON AND THE BATTER WILL BEGIN TO DISCHARGE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE ENGINE WILL GO INTO A "FALL SAFE" CONDITION WHICH WILL LIMIT VEHICLE SPEED. THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IS TO HAVE IT TOWED.

VEHICLE WITH 70,000 MILES HAS HEAD GASKET LEAK. CAR HAS ONLY BEEN MAINTAINED BY DEALER FOR SERVICING. AFTER RESEARCHING MANY NISSAN OWNERS HAS HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE. SHOULD THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED OR SHOULD CONSUMERS BE GAUGED FOR $40,000 FOR A VEHICLE THAT WILL ONLY LAST 70,000 MILES BEFORE HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS. ALSO I CONTINUOUSLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM.

ENGINE

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO STUMBLE AS IF IT WAS FUEL STARVED AND WAS LOSING POWER AND WANTED TO STALL. PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND GOOSING THE GAS AT IDLE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS KEPT THE VEHICLE GOING UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CAM AND CRANK POSITION SENSORS. ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME TWO PARTS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED. THEY LASTED LESS THAN ONE DAY AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAJOR REPAIRS BECAUSE OF EITHER THE PARTS OR A COMBINATION OF THE PARTS AND INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS.

I HAVE LESS THAN 61,000 MILES ON MY 09 MURANO. I NEED TO KNOW WHY WHEN I LIST MY VIN, THERE ARE NO RECALLS, YET IF I SEARCH MAKE,MODEL,AND YR.,WITHOUT VIN, THREE ARE LISTED. THREE WHICH I HAVE HAD ALL HAPPEN AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM), SAYS TPMS WAS IN CERTAIN STATES. HOW CAN YOU SPECIFY THIS RECALL TO THOSE STATES? PEOPLE MOVE, TRAVEL TO THOSE STATES, AND YES, WE USE ROAD SALT HERE. MY TPMS CAME ON THIS PAST JULY AND WILL NOT GO OFF. BUT, SEEMS YOUR RECALL MAY NOT APPLY IN THE SOUTH. I ALSO, IN JULY 2014, HAD ALL 4 MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. NISSAN SAID ALL 4 WOULD NEED REPLACING SOON AFTER HEARING A KNOCKING WHEN EVER I STARTED OFF (LIKE AT RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN). MOTOR COULD FALL OUT. NISSAN WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $800.00 FOR ONE (ALL I COULD AFFORD AT ONE TIME). A FRIEND TOOK IT TO A WELL KNOWN REPUTABLE AUTO STORE AND THEY REPLACED ALL 4 FOR $900.00. NOW NISSAN WOULD NOT BE OVER CHARGING THAT MUCH, WOULD THEY? YEA, RIGHT. AFFECTED PARTS? SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF THE 153 COMPLAINTS FILED REFER TO MOTOR MOUNTS. HAVE ANY MOTORS FALLEN OUT TO CAUSE ACCIDENT?

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE AIR CONDITIONER HAD THE SWEET SMELL OF MAPLE SYRUP AND A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN SECONDS, THE CAR STUTTERED EACH TIME I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. ONCE OUT OF TRAFFIC, I LOOKED AND SAW A LARGE AMOUNT OF COOLANT DRIPPING FROM THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED COOLANT BUILT UP PRESSURE IN RADIATOR, HOSES AND TRANSMISSION. CVT TRANSMISSION IS FLOODED WITH COOLANT AND WATER, RADIATOR AND ALL HOSES WILL NEED REPLACEMENT.

NEW VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT SEPTEMBER 2009. ON 04/26/2011, EAST CHARLOTTE NISSAN'S MECHANICS CHANGED TRANSFER CASE BECAUSE LEAKING. VEHICLE HAD 29,505 MILES. ON MARCH 24, 2014, ECN'S ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT IS NECESSARY TO CHANGE TRANSFER CASE AND GASKET BECAUSE LEAKING. VEHICLE HAD APROX 70,000 MILES. AFTER OWNER REQUESTED HELP TO NC CONSUMER PROTECTION, ECN'S GENERAL MANAGER REPLIED NEITHER OF THOSE LEAKS WOULD BE CONSIDERED ABNORMAL SINCE REPAIR WAS NEARLY THREE YEARS AND VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 50,000 MILES. ALSO, HE STATES THAT OWNER BECAUSE HIS FINANCIAL SITUATION WANTS TO GET VEHICLE FIXED AT NO COST AND THAT IS DISHONEST AND UNETHICAL. OWNER NEVER TRIED TO GET A FREE REPAIR. HE ONLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW: WHY TRANSFER CASE AND GASKET SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY THREE YEARS BECAUSE LEAKING? HOWEVER, THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE CHANGED HAPPENED AFTER ONE YEAR AND SEVEN MONTHS AND WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES.

ENGINE

WE WERE DRIVING AND THE CAR LOST SPEED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY HAD FAILED. THIS WAS THE SECOND NEW BATTERY. THEN, THE CAR RAN UNTIL THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AND AGAIN THE CAR STOPPED ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. AGAIN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THIS TIME THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD ALTERNATOR. QUESTIONS BOUGHT UP THAT THE 2008 NISSAN MURANOS HAD A CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT NOT THE 2009. PROBLEM IS THAT WITHOUT WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM, THE CAR BATTERY GOES DEAD AND THE CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THE RISK OF CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT IS EXTREME.
