During the incident, the driver sustained a left wrist injury and the front seat passenger sustained bruising of both legs and the right shoulder. No medical treatment was immediately required.

NHTSA complaint #11362699 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO JERKS TO THE LEFT SIDE AS YOU GIVE IT GAS AND DRIVING. IT JUST JERKS ON IT'S OWN AND HEADS IN THE DIRECTION OF ANYTHING OR OBJECT THAT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT AND TOLD THAT WAS ALL IT WAS AND BY REPLACING IT THAT IT WOULD STOP DOING THE JERKING. I CHANGED THE MOTOR MOUNT, WHICH NEEDED REPLACED ANYWAY, BUT IT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN PUT YOU INTO ANOTHER CAR, DITCH, TREE, ETC.. I'VE SENT THIS PROBLEM IN BEFORE AND I'VE HAD NO RESPONSE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!! I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR ALOT OF THE TIME AND IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO EVEN PUT THEIR LIVES, MY LIFE, AND OTHER CARS IN THE WAY OF THIS HAZARD. I COULD KILL MULTIPLE INNOCENT PEOPLE BY DRIVING MY CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I'VE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE'S NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PREVIOUS CAUSE. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME ON ANY ROAD. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION FOR ME? IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR
NHTSA complaint #11338251 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 80, I PASSED A VEHICLE AND AS I BEGAN TO RETURN TO THE DRIVING LANE FROM THE PASSING LANE, THE CONTROL PANEL BEEPED AND A WARNING "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION" APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED DRASTICALLY AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISENGAGED AND DISABLED. I HAD TO REACT QUICKLY TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION BY ACCELERATING RAPIDLY. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME OR ON EITHER SIDE.THE CRUISE WAS DISABLED FOR ABOUT 4-5 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 12 TIMES IN A 5.5 HOUR TRIP. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS ONGOING FOR MANY YEARS AND INVOLVED A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES, BUT NOT MINE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHERE THEY INDICATED A FAULTY ICC MODULE THAT I AM HAVING TO REPLACE AT A COST OF OVER $1000. (IT IS BEING FIXED TODAY SO I DO NOT HAVE THE INVOICE YET.) THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.
NHTSA complaint #11325386 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I WAS DRIVING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AND THE CAR SENSOR SPEED CONTROL SET TO THE LOWEST SETTING. I CHANGED LANES TO PASS A CAR, AND AFTER PASSING, SIGNALED TO RETURN BACK TO THE LANE. THE CAR SUDDENLY BEEPED AND A WARNING APPEARED "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION" AND THE CAR SUDDENLY DEACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKED. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BESIDE ME. I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR SO THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME DIDN'T HIT ME. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, SO I TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL UNTIL I COULD SAFELY STOP AND CHECK THE MANUAL TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I GOOGLED THE WARNING AND IMMEDIATELY SAW THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. ON MY RETURN HOME IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES WITH NO WARNING IN A 3 HOUR TRIP. THE CRUISE CONTROL REMAINS DEACTIVATED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE YOU CAN ENGAGE IT AGAIN.

NHTSA complaint #11322136 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FRONT RADAR SYSTEM SUDDENLY TURNS OFF WHEN IN MOTION, BE IT ON A HIGHWAY OR STREET. FRONT RADAR/SAFETY/FRONT EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM/CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES OR SHUTS OFF EVERYDAY/ IN MOTION AND DURING FF; 1. ON HIGHWAY AND ON CRUISE CONTROL ON A RANDOM AND FREQUENT BASIS WHICH ALSO DISENGAGES THE BREAKING ASSIST/FORWARD COLLISION BREAKING ASSIST 2. DURING SHARP TURNS 3. ON A HIGHWAY WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OVERTAKES OR VISE VERSA 4. INADVERTENTLY SHUTS OFF FROM TIME TO TIME. MADE COMPLAINS ALREADY DURING THE 1ST AND 2ND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. 'DURING THE TIME OF 1ST VISIT/MAINTENANCE, CUSTOMER REP SAID THERE SYSTEM WAS DOWN AND I SHOULD GET BACK TO THEM. '2ND VISIT/MAINTENANCE, CUSTOMER REP SAID, THEY HAVE OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND REPLACING THE SENSOR UNIT DOES NOT SOLVE IT, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION, AND WILL KEEP IN TOUCH ONCE THEY HAVE THE SOLUTION. '3RD VISIT, THEY DID SOME TESTS AND CONFIRMED MY COMPLAINS, HOWEVER, CUSTOMER REP SAID THEY HAVE NO RECORDS OF MY COMPLAINS AND THE REASON WHY MY FRONT RADAR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING IS DUE TO THE INCURRED DAMAGES ON MY FRONT BUMPER ( FROM ON STREET PARKING). AND CUSTOMER REP SAID I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR FOR $1400. SEEN A LOT OF SAME COMPLAINS ON FORUM WITH THE SAME DILEMMA.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 NISSAN MURANO, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DE-ACCELERATE AND LOST IT'S ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO PULL ONTO THE MEDIAN OF THE HIGHWAY AND REALIZED THAT MY BRAKES WERE MALFUNCTUNCTIONING, BUT BY THEN MY VEHICLE WAS AT SUCH A LOW SPEED THAT THE BRAKES WERE ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE WHEN THE PEDDLE WAS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THREE WARNING LIGHTS WERE INDICATED ON MY WARNING SCREEN AND MY RPM INDICATOR WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP (MY VECHICLE, WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY) AND THEY DIRECTED ME TO A NUMBER TO CALL FOR TOWING SERVICES. IN THE MEANTIME, I CRANKED MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES, AND EACH TIME THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON, THE RPM INDICATOR CONTINUED TO BOUNCE, AND THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WAS GEARED UP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING. AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERHIP (PETRO NISSAN IN HATTIESBURG,MS) THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION WAS TO "REPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION IN MY VEHICLE". AFTER THREE DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS NOT REPLICATED SO THERE WAS NOTHING THE DEALERSHIP COULD TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO REFUSED TO FURNISH ME WITH A LOANER CAR BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION WASN'T DIAGNOSED. SO, I AM NOW IN A SITUATION WHERE MY CAR REMAINS UNSAFE TO OPERATE, BUT I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL OR TRADE IT IN AND ALLOW SOMEONE TO OPERATE THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I AM IN A VERY PRECARIOUS SITUATION BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO SIMPLY SIDELINE THIS VEHICLE AND PURCHASE ANOTHER. NISSAN IS FORCING ME TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WHICH IS A DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE AND TO THOSE OTHERS ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

I OWN A 2018 NISSAN MURANO SL. THERE IS A FRONT SENOR ISSUE THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IN NOVEMBER 12, 2019. EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, WITHOUT FAIL. SEEMINGLY RANDOM, I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE: "FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTED" WARNING APPEARS ON PANEL. THE "COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM INACTIVE" ICON LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE WARNING MESSAGE GOES OFF; THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS ERROR CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AGAIN ALMOST EVERY TEN MINUTES AFTER THE INITIAL ERROR MESSAGE FOR THE DURATION OF MY CAR TRIP. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF I'M TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY OR COUNTRY ROAD.... OR EVEN AT A COMPLETE STOP....IT STILL HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT, AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON.

NHTSA complaint #11306913 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING CAUSING A DANGER WHEN CAR DOES NOT GO AS EXPECTED WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. IT ALSO JERKS AND SHUDDERS AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE CAR SHAKES SOMEWHAT VIOLENTLY AND WILL STOP IF YOU FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM DEALER AND HAVE BROUGHT IN FOR THE ISSUE TO BE TOLD THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SEE A PROBLEM. I DRIVE THE CAR DAILY I KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN IT CHOOSES NOT TO GO WHEN ACCELERATING. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES.
NHTSA complaint #11298122 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WHEN DRIVING IN CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY FLASH A SIGNAL STATING "FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION, UNAVAILABLE" WHICH DISENGAGES THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING IN CRUISE CONTROL, . THIS ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE RADAR FAILED TO ALERT AND AUTOMATICALL SLOW CAR DOWN. THIS ALSO CAUSES A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING ON REGULAR STREETS AS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SIGNAL FLASHES INEXPLICABLY AND UNPREDICTABLY WHICH CAUSES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.
NHTSA complaint #11287862 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
MY MURANO STARTS SOMETIMES, AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T START AT ALL.NISSAN DIAGNOSTIC WAS ELETRICAL ISSUES, THEY CHANGED THE IPDM, CHANGED THE ELETRICAL DASHBOARD, IT WORKED FOR 11/2 WEEKS, AND WON'T START AGAIN. THIS CAR IS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. APPARENTLY NISSAN CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M DESPERATE FOR HELP, CAUSE I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR. IT'S CURRENTLY IN MY GARAGE, IT HAS STOPPED ME THREE TIMES ON THE ROAD, AND TWICE, IN MY GARAGE COULDN'T START

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
