2009 Nissan Murano Driver assistance Problems

I was going 35 MPH, normal operation speed and there was no extreme weather or road conditions. I slowed down to get into the center turn lane ended up coming to a complete stop due to on coming traffic. I was stopped for about 30 seconds to maybe a minute when I finally had enough clearance to make my turn. When I pressed the accelerator it began to accelerate but stalled out almost immediately. So I pressed and depressed the accelerator rapidly several times then it finally accelerated. When it did finally accelerate it accelerated much to quickly like it just took off. I’d like to say that this excessive acceleration was terrible but it saved my passenger from getting slammed by the now on coming traffic due to the lack of power. This is not the first time it has happened it does it allot when the weather gets warmer as well as when exiting the highway coming to a complete stop and then when trying to accelerate it stalls I’d say 25% of the time. I’ve taken it to multiple repair shops and they all say they can’t find the problem. I know their is a problem and I’ve read of this happening to many other owners so why is there no recall on it yet I’m surprised no one has been seriously injured or worse. In my opinion I feel like the manufacturer has complete disregard to the consumers safety. It’s unsettling.

This has happened on two different occasions. While driving the vehicle the alternator has gone out and there is no warning that there is any problem but you lose your throttle control and the car loses power and is unable to accelerate. The 1st time this happened I was in the middle of an intersection trying to make a left turn and lost all power to be able to move the car. Luckly no one was coming in the other direction, or I could have been involved in a serious accident!!! I had the alternator check and it was bad, so we replaced it. The second time this happened was two days ago I was doing 65 MPH on a four-lane highway and without any warning I lost power and could not accelerate I was able to pull to the side of the road, but m emergency flashers were of no use due to the battery was low because the entire car was using it for power. The car has no gauge or light of any type to warn you that the alternator has failed till you lose power and are unable to accelerate.

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.

THE ISSUE IS WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE ENGAGED. AFTER THEY ARE ENGAGED THE BREAK PRESSURE IMMEDIATELY GOES SOFT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BREAKS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS AND THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE EFFECT AND THAT THEY ARE FINE. IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN ITS COLD. I HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO RESET THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. IVE NOTICED THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION GOING ON AND WANTED TO REPORT WHAT I HAVE FOUND AS WELL. THE LATEST HAPPENED WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN AND HIT AN ICY PATCH WHICH THEN THE ANTILOCK BRAKE RUMBLED ENGAGING IT. AFTER I FINALLY STOPPED HALF WAY INTO THE INTERSECTION THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE PRESSURE WHAT SO EVER....I GUIDED THE CAR TO THE SIDE AND SAT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED THE CAR BEFORE BRAKES CAME BACK.

IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP VERY WELL. SOMETIMES I TRY TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND CANNOT ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH AND FEEL TERRIBLY FRIGHTENED THAT I WILL BE HIT FROM BEHIND AS A RESULT. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN GOING UPHILL. AFTER 5 SECONDS MAYBE IT KICKS IN AND BEGINS ACCELERATING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL ROUTE, AT 9:10PM, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING WITHOUT MY FOOT. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL. I STEPPED VERY HARD AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHEN I LOOSEN THE PEDAL, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING. ALL THE SUDDEN I HEARD POPPING SOUND AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I THINK THAT WAS THE SOUND OF THE GAS PEDAL RELEASED. AT 9:15PM, THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK AGAIN. THE ACCELERATION WAS FULL AND REACHED TO THE 80 MILES VERY QUICKLY. I STEPPED THE BREAK PEDAL SLOWLY BUT VERY HARD THEN STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I TRIED TO PULL MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT COULD NOT STOP. SO, I PUT THE GEAR INTO "N". I HARD THE GAS WAS STILL GOING. AS I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL ONE MORE TIME, THE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, SO I COULD STOP. AS THE AREA DO NOT HAVE GOOD PHONE CONNECTIONS ANY WAY, I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN, SLOWLY, TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THE CAR THERE. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IF THE DRIVER WAS MY WIFE, SHE PROBABLY HAD AN ACCIDENT. IF THE ROAD WAS ICY, IF DEER CAME OUT, IF THAT WAS IN CITY AREA OR IN OUR DRIVE WAY, I HAD VERY BAD ACCIDENT. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST. TIRE PRESSURE RAMP IT ALWAYS ON, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT UNTIL THIS. I WOULD NEVER WANT TO DRIVE THE SAME CAR EVEN AFTER A REPAIR. IT WAS AWFUL AND CAN NOT TRUST ANYMORE.

AFTER STARTING FROM A COLD START (PARKED OVERNIGHT) I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO PRIOR SIGN OF BRAKE FAILURE AND THE CAR STILL COULD STOP, JUST NOT AS QUICKLY OR FIRMLY AS NORMAL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED A LEAKING MASTER CYLINDER BUT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT. AFTER THE SHOP REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLEED THE SYSTEM THEY FOUND ANOTHER LEAK IN THE ABS CONTROLLER/ECU MODULE. AN INTERNAL LEAK, AND NO REPAIR IS POSSIBLE. THE SHOP SAYS THEY HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN AND LOOKED ONLINE BUT FIND NO INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER SIMILAR BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURES, NO TSB'S, NO RECALLS. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT TWO CRITICAL BRAKE PARTS COULD BOTH BE LEAKING AND FAILING, AND THE CAR SHOWED NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS, NO ABS WARNING LIGHTS, NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM WHILE THE BRAKES HAD OBVIOUSLY ALREADY FAILED. THIS IS A FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE SINGLE-OWNER VEHICLE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. THE FAILED PARTS (BRAKE MASTER AND ABS CONTROLLER/ECU ARE BEING HELD AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.
