FROM TIME TO TIME THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS. ENGINE DOES NOT DIE BUT POWER TO TRANSMISSION IS LOST. VEHICLE WILL NOT REV UNLESS IT IS PUT INTO PARK OR NEUTERAL. WHEN TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PRODUCES NO RPMS. VEHICLE COSTS TO SIDE OF ROAD AND PROBLEM IS SOMETIMES REMIDIED WITH SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING OTHER TIMES I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

MY FAMILY HAS OWNED A 2007 NISSAN MURANO FOR NEARLY 8 YEARS. IN THE LAST YEAR, MY WIFE HAS EXPERIENCED EXTREME TRAUMA AS SHE HAS HAD THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIE ON HER WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEWAYS, HIGHWAYS, AND RESIDENTIAL ROADS. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN IN AND INSPECTED BY MULTIPLE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND EACH VISIT HAS ONLY RESULTED IN THEIR RECOMMENDATION OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BEING SUGGESTED, SUCH AS TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE, BRAKE REPAIR, OR BATTERY REPLACEMENT. OUR MURANO HAS RECENTLY DECIDED TO REPEAT THESE SAME ISSUES AFTER OVER A YEAR OF NORMAL FUNCTION. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE NORMALLY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AND THE FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE STOPPED DUE TO WHAT APPEARED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AFTER ASSESSING THE ISSUE, I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE WITH JUMPER CABLES, WHICH ALLOWED THE MURANO TO START, BUT ONCE IT WAS INDEPENDENTLY IDLING, IT WOULD AGAIN LOSE POWER AFTER AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I AM HEAVILY CONCERNED FOR THE WELFARE OF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER AS THEY DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS THAT I TYPICALLY RELY ON FOR THESE CRITICAL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN NO HELP AND I AM AT A LOSS FOR WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SUCH A LONG TIME FRAME BETWEEN ISSUES. I HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND RECTIFY ANY PRIOR REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED AS A RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE THAT MAY VERY WELL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE TRUE ISSUE AT HAND. I AM IN DIRE NEED OF ANSWERS AS TO WHY A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE WOULD BE FINE ONE MINUTE AND THEN COMPLETELY INOPERABLE THE NEXT. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD MANY COMPONENTS REPLACED AND MAINTAINED TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND WITH 180K MILES HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CONTINUE FOR MANY MORE. I DON'T WANT TO POUR MONEY INTO THIS ISSUE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS, AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING DEALT WITH THIS!

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL RECENT TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES AND YOU LOSE ALL POWER, VERY UNSAFE AS POWER STEERING IS LOST. I HAVE READ THIS ONLINE WHERE OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE SO THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED THE BATTERY, CABLES, REPLACED SENSORS, AND FUEL PUMP SO THIS HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE. MY CAR IS A 2007 MURANO SL WITH 150,000 MILES.

THE FUEL GAUGE/SENSOR IS NOT READING PROPERLY. IT WILL SHOW THE TANK AS EMPTY EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY, HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE THREE OTHER MODELS OF CAR THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FROM THE SAME YEAR DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ALSO ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY IT ON MY VEHICLE. THIS CONCERNS ME AS IN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE EXCEPT THAT THE VEHICLE CAN STALL WHILE IN MOTION CREATING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVING WELL AND THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED AT THAT TIME, HOWEVER THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT AS IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE WE COULD NOT PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET. THESE ARE BOTH KNOWN PROBLEMS TO NISSAN AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER SUV'S OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR. IN SPEAKING TO NISSAN THERE IS NOTHING THEY ARE WILLING TO DO TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OR TO REIMBURSE US FOR THE REPAIR ALREADY MADE. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY SO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME THAT NISSAN HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ITS FUEL SENSORS FOR YEARS AND YEARS ON MANY OF ITS MODELS AND HAS IGNORED IT. NOW I'M REQUIRED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS ON A FAULTY PART TO THE TUNE OF $655 BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T PASS INSPECTION OTHERWISE. NISSAN HAS PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN (NTB07-069A) FOR CODE P0463 BUT WON'T HELP AT ALL WITH THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER REPAIRS EITHER. FAULKNER NISSAN, HARRISBURG, PA SOUNDED LIKE I WAS THE 100TH PERSON CALLING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I AM SINGLE MOTHER, WORKING FULL TIME, SAVING TO SEND A DAUGHTER TO COLLEGE. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY NISSAN MURANO KNOWING IT IS VITAL TO MY ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY. I WILL NOW NEED TO BREAK THE LAW TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO WORK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $655 FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS DOWNRIGHT WRONG. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY ITS PRODUCT AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I WAS ON HWY 10 TRAVELING FROM HOUSTON TO NM, HEADED WEST JUST PAST EXIST 138 IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAS JUST FINISHED FUELING UP MY VEHICLE AND WAS BACK ON THE HWY. I RAN OVER SMALL OBJECT IN THE ROAD THAT CAUSED A PUNCTURE IN THE BACK OF THE FUEL TANK. I WAS SIGNALED BY PASSING CALL TO PULLOVER IMMEDIATELY AS THERE WAS FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF THE VEHICLE , MAKING IT AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD & UNDRIVEABLE. I WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND MY BOYFRIEND DURING THIS INCIDENT WHO ALSO RAN OVER THIS SAME OBJECT AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO HIS VEHICLE (BMW). I CALLED NISSAN THE NEXT DAY ( I HAVE REFERENCE # ) & I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR 2007 REGARDING FUEL TANK PUNCTURE PROBLEMS .HE SAID THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND NOT MY MODEL YEAR. THE FUEL TANK DOES APPEAR HOWEVER TO BE EXPOSED AND APPEARS TO BE PRONE TO THIS PROBLEM . THERE ARE APPROX 17500 MILES ON THIS 2007 MURANO. THE FUEL TANK WAS PATCHED THE NEXT DAY, AND THE SUV DRIVEN TO IT'S DESTINATION WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND PARKED UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. A NEW FUEL TANK WILL BE USED TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED ONE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY INSURANCE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN . THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN ON THE HWY AS IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN LOCALLY ON CITY STREETS PRIOR. THE SAME OBJECT DID NOT CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MY BOYFRIENDS VEHICLE NOR FOR THE OTHER CARS WHO RAN OVER IT AS WELL. *TR
