2005 Nissan Murano Problems

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, an unknown part on the driver's side front seat fractured, causing the seat to wobble. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

I bought the car not knowing that the seat bracket driver side was already broken the dealership would not do anything I looked into this and there are several thousands of other complaints on the same safety issue I'm only a hundred and fifteen pounds and I'm bouncing all over the place and I'm terrified I don't have the extra 2,000 $3,000 is going to cost to replace and this is a major thing it has happened several times this needs to be recalled now

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS DISTRACTS THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SEE AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT WILL DIRECTLY RESULT IN ACCIDENTS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE AND AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY MURANO OWNERS.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN ITS PLACE. IT CAN AND DOES FALL OUT OF THE RETAINING MECHANISM, CAUSING DRIVER'S VIEW TO BE INSTANTLY OBSTRUCTED.

Not sure when it started bc I just purchased this vehicle a month ago. While driving one evening the head lights went off and I had to turn them off and back on. Now a few weeks later and after I've changed the bulbs and made sure the fuse wasn't blown it is doing it ALOT. I'm not sure if it is a wiring problem or if it is in the on and off switch.

While driving the vehicle will suddenly stop moving, loses acceleration ability & all the dashboard lights turn on. I had work done back in Feb 22 replacing cam shaft sensors. Now Dec 22 the same thing began happening again.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while closing the rear liftgate door, the front driver’s and passenger’s side air bags inadvertently deployed. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic where it remained pending a diagnostic test. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,230.

Vehicle shutdown while driving in the middle of the road while using a new battery. Fuel pump not reading fuel tank. Vehicle stalls specially whenever acceleration starts after stopping.

TAKARA RECALL : WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE CAR IS PULLED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE, ALMOST CAUSING SERIOUS CRASHES.

Rear subframe rusted to failure. Vehicle has 143,000 miles. Dealer service manager says the vehicle is unsafe to drive due to the posibility of the rear wheels detaching from the vehicle. This is the third vehicle with the same condition the service department has seen in the last two weeks

WHEN I'M IDOL AT A STOP SIGH OR RED LIGHT THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WILL MOVE. YESTERDAY, WHEN I PRESS THE PEDAL, IT STICKS AND ACCELERATES FAST. IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RUN INTO TRAFFIC OR INTO ANOTHER CAR. I HAD THIS CHECK AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I WILL TAKE IT BACK TO HAVE IT CHECKED AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY ABS LIGHT COMES ON THEN VEHICLE STALLS AND ROLLS AT ABOUT 2 MPH AND THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. USUALLY THE ABS LIGHT TURNS OFF THEN I CAN DRIVE NORMALLY. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CAR TURNED OFF I HAD TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE STREET AND IT WOULDN'T START UP FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THEN IT STALLS WITH NO RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKES AND CHECKING ALL THE SENSORS, CHECKING THE BATTERY AND ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS AND FLUIDS.

Noticed severe negative camber on the rear wheels at ~225k miles. Marks Auto Svc, Rockford, IL confirmed the rear k-subframe had rusted all the way through from the inside-out. The frame had completely separated at two places on each side near the wheels - SEVERE SAFETEY HAZARD!!!!! 1. Website forums indicate many consumers conclude this problem is due to inferior design (hole in frame allows water to condensate/pool & rust the frame from the inside-out). 2. I conclude this part failed prior to the standard benchmark-life of automotive parts of 20-years. 3. A similar subframe design used on the 2002-05 Atimas & Maximas - produced a SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN - Ref. NTB05-114c.

Sub frame rusted so bad the sway bar detached from the sub frame nearly causing an accident and breaking the sway bar link in half.

SUBFRAME BROKE BETWEEN THE REAR WHEELS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. MECHANIC INSPECTED IT AND SUBFRAME IS RUSTED FROM INSIDE OUT. MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS 150,000 MILES AND I AM THE FIRST OWNER THAT TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THE CAR, FROM KEEPING IT IN MY GARAGE, TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND CAR WASHING TO PREVENT RUST. CAR IS INOPERABLE WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN FOR REPLACEMENT FOR 6 DAYS. NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON THIS MODEL FOR 2003-2007 YEAR OF MANUFACTURING, HOWEVER I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE.

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2013. POWER STEERING LEAKAGE. 3 MECHANICS CHECKED CAR COULDN'T FIND LEAK. I ENDED UP CARRYING FLUID WITH ME CAUSE I NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WOULD GO OUT. THE 4TH MECHANIC CHANGED THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. HE HAS NOW FOUND THAT THE CARE LEAKS WHEN NOT IN MOTION. A POWER STEERING RACK HAS BEEN ORDERED

I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF MY PROBLEMS OCCURRING WITH MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO SL VIN# [XXX]. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM YOUR DEALERSHIP IN 2005 AND HAVE GONE FOR ALL OF MY SERVICE NEEDS TO YOUR FACILITY. THERE HAVE BEEN 3 DIFFERENT INSTANCES IN WHICH I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ISSUES/PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSFER CASE / CVT UNIT. TODAY JANUARY 5,2012, I CALLED NISSAN SERVICES REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN WITH MY TRANSFER CASE AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING IT INTO YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND INFORMED THE FRONT DESK OF THE PROBLEM. FOUR HOURS LATER, I WAS INFORMED THAT YES THE TRANSFER CASE WAS CRACKED BUT IT WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE SAME PROBLEM FROM BEFORE AND BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE 3 SEPARATE SERVICE ORDERS FROM THE OTHER REPAIRS FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT THAT CLEARLY STATE WHAT THE ISSUE/PROBLEM WAS "THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED DUE TO DAMAGE". I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS AND AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE RECEIVED REGARDING A KNOWN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE CVT / TRANSFER CASE OF THE MURANO, AND FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED AND RESOLVED AT NO COST TO ME. ATTACHED PLEASE FIND THE 3 SERVICE ORDER NUMBERS I AM REFERRING TO REGARDING REPAIRS TO THE CVT / TRANSFER CASE 11/17/08 - NICS129368 5/14/09 - 6004693-1 10/28/10 - 6026212-3.
