My car smells like something is burning, when I drive it for a distance. I had my oil changed back in December and I took it back to the Dealership and advised of the smell and I was advised that my transmission was leaking. When I purchased my car used in August of 2023, I took it back to the Dealership advising that it seemed like it wasn't shifting properly and was advised that 2 mechanics and the Salesman all drove the car, and nothing was wrong and I just needed to get used to the way a Nissan vehicle transmission shifts and here I am today being advised that I have to pay $1200.00 for the repairs for the inner and outer seals because they are leaking. This actually to me is a safety concern because I smell something burning and I have a small child. I also remember seeing a sticker advising do not sale on the car and because of seeing a report on the news about those stickers being placed on cars I am concerned about that also and that I was sold a car that was possibly not supposed to have been purchased. I have contacted the Consume Affairs from Nissan and got nowhere because once again no one wants to take responsibility and fix the car and at this point I really would just like to get another car and to be compensated for the last 2 years.

Both driver and passenger airbag lights have been on for about a year. This vehicle has never been involved in a car accident. I recently had the service dept at the dealership take a look as my mechanic was unable to troubleshoot the issue. The code the dealer found was B00A0-00, occupant sensor unit, abnormal voltage. The dealer is stating that the occupant sensor unit needs to be replaced as well as both sensors.

I have been experiencing complete driving failure with my 2016 Nissan Murano. It shutdowns randomly without any warning well driving in traffic. I have already experienced being put in a crash risk three times. I have been trying to work with the dealer for almost 2 months now, only to receive my SUV with the same issue. I am terrified to be forced to put my children in such a high risk automobile as this is supposed to be our reliable transportation. I am highly disappointed and uncomfortable with the dealership stating repeatedly they don’t know what’s wrong with my vehicle as they are no codes to factually state the real issue. In the process I am being told I need to pay for highly priced repair guesses or problems that have been generated in their care trying to figure things out. The vehicle has even stopped on them while driving. After driving off their lot twice only to be stranded and put in a crash risk I am not comfortable with being rushed to pick up this vehicle without total safety concerns being addressed. Nissan has not addressed my concerns about their vehicles having recalls about this same issues, only stating it doesn’t show up for my vin# Well why am I having the same exact problem? The safety risks of the vehicle failing in the mist of traffic with absolutely no warning is a huge life threatening risk and shouldn’t be of the hardship of my family as I immediately had it towed to the dealership to assure safety for all. I purchased what I thought would be a safer longevity vehicle to transport my children. I am really having a difficult time with understanding of my concerns are of top priority. As I do appreciate being given a rental while they try a figure it out. My major concerns are being given the vehicle back at the same exact safety issues or worse. Please your cooperation in assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated

The driver seat heater is not working.

I recently brought my 2016 Nissan Murano to the Nissan service department and asked them to check the driver's side heated seat as it was not working. I was notified by the Nissan service department that the heated seat module had melted and that they needed to disconnect the component because it was a safety concern. It was very concerning to learn that the heated seat component could have possibly caused personal harm to anyone driving my vehicle. I reached out to Nissan in an effort to have them fix the defect and they refused to fix the vehicle free of charge. I have also researched this defect online and there seems to be a pattern of this defect happening in other vehicles of this model and year. I believe that this is a serious safety issue and that Nissan should be investigating the heated seat components on these vehicles and fix the component, so they are safe and in working order.

I am having transmission issues. The car vibrates when I am driving and accelerating between 15-50MPH. I also have water coming in my vehicle and causing mold from the passenger side. I have taken the car to 3 dealers and I have contacted Nissan. There has not been a resolution yet. I had the transfer case repaired twice within less than a month at a Nissan dealer. The vibrating/growling noise is still present. I simply want my car to be fixed

I EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT POWER SYSTEM FAILURES SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2016 MURANO ON 12/28/16. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON 1/4/17 WHEN I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A TWO-WAY ROAD. THE POWER SYSTEM FAILED IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENTERING THE TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO PULL HARD AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO OVERSHOOT THE TURN AND I WAS DRIVING IN THE LANE OF OPPOSING TRAFFIC PULLING HARD ON THE WHEEL TO RECOVER. THEN SUDDENLY THE POWER RETURNED AND MY VEHICLE VEERED HARD TO THE RIGHT IN THE ORIGINAL DIRECTION OF THE TURN. THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC SO I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS ON 1/5/17 WHEN I WAS BACKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING SO THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN AS EXPECTED INTO THE TRAFFIC LANE. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE ORIGINAL PARKING SPACE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. RESTARTING THE ENGINE CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY AGAIN. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS ON 1/6/17 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR REPAIR. AGAIN THE POWER STEERING FAILED MOMENTARILY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I WAS DRIVING SLOWER THAN USUAL AND I WAS PREPARED TO ADJUST MY FORCE ON THE WHEEL BECAUSE I WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THE CONNECTOR E62 TERMINAL 5 WIRE WAS OUT OF POSITION (SEE ATTACHED SERVICE REPORT). SO THE PROBLEM WAS BASICALLY CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE.

SEAT BELT LIGHT OFF WHEN PASSENGER IS IN CAR. THIS HAPPENS ON AND OF, I CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT HAPPENS.

I'VE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE WITH REGARDS TO THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE NISSAN FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANKS
