Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

64,085 units potentially affected
The defect: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, 2025-2026 Armada, and Infiniti QX80 vehicles. A software error may occur in the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system at vehicle startup, resulting in the rearview camera image not displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The risk: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: The IVI system software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 2, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25D6, R25D5, and R25D7. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 12, 2025.

The risk: A broken front brake caliper can cause a loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake caliper assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 9, 2025. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or INFINITI's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are PD137 and PD138.

The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) actuators are bolted directly to the brake caliper. It has been detected that the factory retaining bolts lack a threadlocking compound (such as Loctite) to prevent them from backing out due to normal vehicle vibration. As a result, the bolts back out completely and fall off, causing the actuator to become loose and detach from the brake caliper.

One week ago (6/19) while driving the main screen went black. I pulled over and restarted engine 3x with no luck so drove to dealership. Another startup there it was still black. I was told by service manager “I cannot have you drive it like that” and I was offered a rental which I accepted. Just prior to claiming the rental I again started my Murano and the screen was normal again. I took my vehicle but made an appt to have things checked on Monday. At that time I was told that it just needed a software update. That was concerning to me because how would I know in the future it needed an update prior to another incident of the screen going black. Response was that I wouldn’t. Yikes! Additionally, the google assist has repeatedly been of concern with audible requests being met by incorrect responses (different radio station than requested, or static); temperature setting set to 3 degrees higher than requested. Audio will cut out randomly that will only reset after the car is shut off for period of time. Talk to text malfunction and looping. During one errand shortly after taking ownership the backup camera froze and stayed like that for a 25 minute drive. The dealership did a factory reset yesterday (6/26) in an attempt to resolve several issues but with no luck. I also got an oil change. My receipt did not reflect the reset so I requested that be added to my service record.

Four times in the last month or so, the accelerator pedal has stuck while driving. I take my foot off the gas but the engine continues racing, and the car keeps increasing in speed. The last time it happened I almost ran into the car in front of me. I slammed hard on the brakes to try and stop the momentum. I heard a loud pop and the accelerator eventually returned to normal, but it took 4 or 5 seconds. The local Nissan Dealer cannot find any problems, and cannot repeat the problem despite numerous test drives. The car is less than halfway through a 39 month lease. I have contacted Nissan Customer Care and hope to have them buy back the lease without any cost to me. I am afraid to drive the car and it is currently sitting in the Dealer’s parking lot.

I am reporting a serious safety issue involving my 2025 Nissan Murano SL, purchased on April 21, 2026. On May 9, 2026, while driving from [XXX] to [XXX] , the vehicle began experiencing repeated failures at stoplights and in traffic. While stopped at red lights with the vehicle in drive, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral and shut off when I removed my foot from the brake pedal and attempted to accelerate. This first occurred on [XXX] at [XXX] . The issue then occurred again at [XXX] and [XXX] . Concerned for my safety, I drove directly to the dealership for service evaluation. The dealership performed a diagnostic scan but reported that no fault codes were found. I was advised to return for further service evaluation. While attempting to drive home, the same issue occurred again at XXX and XXX. At another intersection, XXX and XXX, I recorded video evidence of the vehicle shifting into neutral and shutting off immediately after releasing the brake pedal at a red light. I returned to the dealership, where dealership staff also reportedly experienced the failure during a test drive. The dealership retained the vehicle for approximately one week for additional testing and evaluation. On May 15, 2026, I was informed that a software update had been performed and the vehicle was returned to me. On May 17, 2026, the same issue reoccurred multiple times in XXX. While stopped in a pickup line at Home Depot, the vehicle shifted into neutral and shut off when attempting to move forward from a stopped position. The same issue then occurred again while waiting in line at 7 Brew Coffee. On one occasion, the vehicle shifted into neutral while my foot remained on the brake pedal and the transmission was still in drive. The issue occurred again at the intersection of XXX and XXX while waiting at a traffic light. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

3/20/26 my windshield was cracked right through the front camera. I now have issues with my cars sensors not working, beeping, not going into gear, and the car not starting. The crack starts at the very top of my car and goes all the way over to drivers line of sight. I am told that Nissan does not have a replacement glass available to replace my cracked windshield. On 3/20 it was 3 inches long now it is over 2 ft long. How can Nissan take something to the market without OES parts being available for repair. Nissan informed me that they have no ETA of the windshield being released for purchase at this time. I do not feel safe driving this car, but I have no other option. Nissan informed me to check junk yards....
