2017 Nissan Murano Problems

The forward looking sonar sensor turns off after the first 2 miles, which in turn deactivates the adaptive cruise control and the automatic emergency braking system. I have learned that this is a widespread problem on many Nissans, including the Rogue and Murano. The dealership said it was recalled on the Rogue, but not on the Murano, so it would cost thousands to replace.

Technical Incident Report: Electrical Component Failure Reference: Technical Service Bulletin NTB19-004 Part Number: 873D6-5AA6A (Control Unit/Actuator) Incident Overview On 2/16/26, the vehicle was being operated by the primary driver when a suspected electrical failure occurred. Upon subsequent inspection, the 873D6-5AA6A control unit and its associated wiring harness were found to be severely compromised by thermal damage. Detailed Observations: Thermal Damage: The control unit housing showed significant melting. Residual smoke was present during the inspection, indicating a high-temperature event caused by a short circuit or component failure. Harness Integrity: The wiring harness insulation was melted and charred. Due to the extreme heat, the plastic connector had become brittle and lost all structural integrity. Component Failure: During the attempt to disconnect the unit for safety inspection, the connector shattered, leaving the internal wiring of the harness exposed. Documentation: High-resolution photographs have been captured to document the state of the melted housing, the shattered connector, and the exposed wiring.

MY TRUCK AIR CONDITION STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WIRE HARNESS HAD GONE BAD. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING, STALL AND POSSIBLY THE HEAD LIGHTS DIM WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THR DIM LIGHTS AND STALLING. I FEEL THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES. IT HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE MANUFACTER, POLICE OR INSURANCE. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO CHECK ENGIN LIGHTS ON SO THERE WAS NO WARNING.

Have noticed when turning a corner vehicle has some slight jerking motions before it picks up speed. Vehicle also has a whining/humming sound that it’s making somewhere in the transmission (CVT). I haven’t ever received a recall or CVT extended warranty about this vehicle before but I received this warranty in the mail last week 11-12-25..This warranty would have covered my problems with the vehicle but I was told it expired last year.. Why send it to me this year and it’s useless

Transmission randomly at the blue stopped. The car has a CVT engine and I see that there’s a recall on it. I also received a letter in the mail stating that there was a recall.

Nissan is recalling more than 56,000 cars because of power-steering hoses that may leak fluid and potentially lead to fires. Nissan North America said the recall affects the 2013-2014 Murano vehicles. The problem stems from the power-steering hose clamp, which may not adequately secure the hose. That could allow the hose to detach and leak power-steering fluid, the company said. Power-steering fluid leaking onto a hot engine or exhaust pipes could cause a fire, Nissan said.

This car it was in the garage. I almost never use it only sometimes to go in the store and this cannot happen. The car who passed just 46,000. Steering Rack: Power steering rack and electronic power steering fluid - Power steering is very notchy. Upon inspection of vehicle found power steering rack leaking from the passenger side seal. Recommend replacing rack and bleeding power steering system. The steering wheel is attached to the steering rack by the steering shaft. When the steering wheel is turned, the steering rack interprets the directional input and pushes or pulls the front wheels in the desired direction. The steering rack is secured to the chassis.

The seat heating function on my vehicle failed due to electrical components becoming so hot that they melted the control module connector. The issue has been reviewed and confirmed by a Nissan dealership's service department. The service manager stated that he and his team would not plug the control module connector back in without my express direction because they considered it a fire hazard and a safety risk. There was no warning of this failure; the component simply stopped working but remained a fire risk. The only way I learned of the control module melting was after having the dealer's service department diagnose why the feature was no longer working. From the dealer's diagnosis (in writing): "Driver's climate control seat control module connector melted. Recommend replacing driver's climate control seat control module and driver's front seat harness. Left driver's front climate control seat control module connector unplugged to prevent further issues with system." It is unknown when the component melted. The problem was diagnosed by a Nissan dealership's service department on 29 November 2023.

daytime running lights with no taillights. LED daytime running lights are so bright on newer cars that they light the road enough to drive at night without turning the headlights on. the vehicle is completely invisible and black from behind. the dash lights are on all the time so there is no way for the driver to know they are driving at night with the headlights off. this is true with many auto manufacturers, a simple software update could repair most older vehicles on the road today, make the taillights come on with the daytime running lights, that would take care of the safety issue of drivers who forget to manually turn their headlights on at night. the following news cast explains the issue.

2017 NISSON MURANO. I PICKED UP THIS CAR TO ASSIST MY SON SHUTTLING CARS, AT NIGHT, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THE CAR HAD AUTOMATIC LIGHTS. IN FACT, ONLY THE FRONT HALOGEN LIGHTS WERE ON BUT NO RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE SIDE OR REAR. I ONLY DISCOVERED THE SITUATION AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES, WITH DRIVERS BEHIND ME OCCASIONALLY FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS TO SIGNAL ME. THIS EQUIPMENT BEHAVIOR IS VERY DECEIVING AND DANGEROUS.
