I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHT, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED LIKE IT HAD NO POWER STEERING. PULLED OVER, PARKED, TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED A MINUTE. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WERE OFF AGAIN. DROVE FOR A MILE TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT DID NOT. WHAT THE HELL, @NISSAN? I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THAT'S NOT SAFE FOR A CAR TO JUST TURN OFF LIKE THAT.
AUGUST 18, 2018 BOUT 9:50 PM, AFTER PASSING THREW NEW ALBANY ON MY WAY BACK TO MEMPHIS AFTER LEAVING STARKVILLE, MS. WHEN IT FELT LIKE MY NISSAN MURANO WAS LOSING POWER ON HIGHWAY 78 WITH ONE VEHICLE IN LEFT LANE BOUT CAR LENGTH BEHIND AND ANOTHER BOUT THREE CAR LENGTH BEHIND ME IN THE RIGHT LANE. I PULLED OFF ON RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD BOUT 100 YARDS FROM EXIT TO GLENFIELD AND OXFORD, MS. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY MOVE ABOUT 5 OR 7 MILES HOUR ALLOWING ME TO MAKE IT TO GLENFIELD/ OXFORD TURNOFF THEN JUST STOPPED WOULD NOT MOVE ANY FARTHER. CUTTING ON THE HAZARDOUS BLINKERS WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY POWER. A LADY STOPPED AND GAVE ME A BUS OFF BUT BATTERY DIED SHORTLY AFTER SHE LEFT. BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF NEW ALBANY I COULD ONLY TEXT ALLOWING ME TO TEXT MY SON WHO WAS ON HIS WAY FROM STARKVILLE AFTER HE GOT OFF WORK AT 10:30 PM. WHEN MY SON ARRIVED WE CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES GIVING THE MURANO ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE MILE OR MILE AND A HALF BACK TO NEW ALBANY WHERE LOST ALL POWER AGAIN. WALMART WAS CLOSE BY WHERE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY ALLOWING ME TO MAKE 60 OR LESS MILES BACK TO MEMPHIS. THE BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ON I CUT OFF ALL UNNECESSARY POWER. MONDAY MORNING I PLAN TO TAKE TO NISSAN DEALER AFTER LEARNING OFF RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY TRAFFIC CAME TO A HALT, WHEN I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE SEEM TO BE LOSS POWER AND ACCELERATION WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS, I HAD MY 3 KIDS AND GRANDCHILD IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. AS I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR NOTHING HAPPENED THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE, GOOD THING A SEMI-TRUCK WASN'T BEHIND ME, WE ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. THIS IS SCARED ME AND MY FAMILY. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 2 OR MORE MINUTES THE CAR JUNKED AND LUNGED AT A HIGH SPEED I COULD HAVE RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENT NOW MAYBE 3-4 DAYS OR MORE OUT THE WEEK. STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER (NO RESPONSE) WHILE IN TRAFFIC; IS IN DEED A BIG FACTOR TO HAVE THIS MATTER LOOKED INTO. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME INCIDENT MY FAMILY AND I EXPERIENCED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL REGARDING THIS MATTER. IN ADDITION, TO THAT THE ACTUATORS ON BOTH PASSENGER DOORS (FRONT AND BACK) DOESN'T WORK, IT HAS TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. ALSO, THE HATCH LOCK DOESN'T LOCK THE HANDLE GETS STUCK.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
