The brake fluid continues to leak the CVT affected therefore the car only drives backwards. It has under 70,000 miles. It completely stopped while driving in the middle of traffic. I had to have it towed. There was no notice of this issue prior to this incident.

Is the pearl white paint peeling off the car all over I cannot drive it in the rain. The paint falls off. I cannot wash it but paint peels off the car only has 42,000 miles on it. I bought it brand new it started in July I have went to several dealerships and Consumer affairs, and no one seems to help me. It is all over the Internet. This is not due to any warranty. This is a product before it was built. The paint is no good the car is worthless the way it looks I’ve taken very good care of this car. It’s been stored in a garage. I’m the one drives it. There’s nothing else wrong with the car except the paint is coming off when I go down the highway.

Car is a Safety Hazard from October 2022 to current. I have had this car at the Beau Townsend Nissan Dealership Service Center, Vandalia, OH multiple times, about the safety issue of the car slowing down with floor acceleration then shutting off on 4 lane highways just barely escaping severe accidents. Each time dealership isn’t able to fix issue, had me spend $800 to fix what they thought it was, reset codes which has not fixed the safety issue. Latest issue occurred 4/27/23 traveling on 3 lane highway in middle lane 3 hours from my home at 70 MPH speed limit. Car abruptly started slowing down without cause, and almost created a bad accident. Luckily, I was able to get the car to the right narrow shoulder strip before it shut off, police came to assist with keeping me safe in my vehicle until I could have the vehicle towed 3 hours back to Beau Townsend Nissan for more diagnostics. I opened a case with Nissan Consumer Affairs prior to this last safety incident and to date nothing has been done. I have multiple documentation with the dealership about my car being a safety risks to me (senior citizen) and others on the road. The only people to date that seem to understand the safety severity this involves are the Highway police and towing services who have provided me safety every time the car shuts down abruptly while traveling. I’m reaching out to you in hope that this concern can be addressed before you learn about me and possibly others in a fatality situation. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide in this matter. Yes, I’m available for inspection of the safety concern specific to my vehicle.

The sunroof/moonroof drain tubes stop up and leak down the interior door frame and also into the floorboard of the car regularly. I have been in contact with Nissan Regional and they tell me its a maintenance problem. I read through the owners manual multiple times and nowhere does it mention sunroof drain tubes or anything related to sunroof drains. It does not mention it in the maintenance portion of the book or anywhere else. The issue with it leaking into the car is mold. This is a design flaw by Nissan, and unless a Nissan dealership submits it to NissanUSA as a design flaw, nothing can be done. Obviously a dealership will not submit it because they can make $159 each time a customer comes in to have those lines unclogged. NEVER BUY A NISSAN WITH A SUNROOF!!!!!! Mine has leaked into my car four times since 2021. It has flooded and molded my entire interior.

I PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE ON 4/4/20 AND DURING A TEST DRIVE THE UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION CAME ON AND THEY STATED IT WAS BECAUSE WE WERE CLOSE TO OTHER CARS. THE SENSOR KEPT GOING OFF WITH NOTHING AROUND WHILE DRIVING SO TOOK IT TO LOCAL NISSIAN DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD SENSOR WHICH IS ABOUT $1400 TO REPAIR. ASKED NISSIAN TO PAY AS A GOODWILL GESTURE AND THEY DENIED IT. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WILL NOT COVER IT. AS EXPLAINED TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP AND NISSIAN CORPORATE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE SENSOR. WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE SENSOR GOES OFF..ABOUT 8-10 DURING A 12 MILE TRIP. I NEED HELP WITH THIS SENSOR. THE SELLING DEALERSHIP KNEW THIS WAS FAULTY AND SO DOES NISSIAN AND NO ONE WILL HELP. THIS IS PLACING MY LIFE AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK. PLEASE HELP....

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.

Jul 24, 2025

About 1 month ago my car started dragging going up hills. The RPMs were high but the car wouldn't accelerate. On flat surfaces it would not accelerate faster than 40 mph and smoke was coming out of the exhaust. It would not shift gears or accelerate. Firestone had my car for a week but said it could only be fixed by a Nissan dealership because it had to be flashed. I paid a little over $900 to the dealership for them to tell me they don't know why my car won't shift or accelerate correctly. I asked if it was the CVT and they said they didn't know. They put Blue Devil in my engine which helped stop smoke coming out of the engine but it still doesn't shift and RPMs stay high. My son had to take my car to work and when he got on the highway he tried to accelerate to avoid getting hit, and again, my car wouldn't shift but the RPMs stayed high.

Rear differential broke and was replaced along with the CV axle shaft. Broken part is at repair shop. unknown if it is still available for inspection. Problem occurred suddenly while driving on the interstate. The high speeds could have caused an accident. Problem was confirmed by an independent service center Woody's Auto Repair Service Ankeny IA. Vehicle and component have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representative or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or prior symptoms of the problem prior to failure. First appeared in Dec 2022. Car was at repair shop ~21/2 weeks while being assessed, locating parts, and being fixed.

THE CAR HOOD HAS A RIDGE THAT SLOPES TOWARD THE DRIVER DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE SUN REFLECTS DIRECTLY INTO THE DRIVER WHEN THERE IS MORNING OR AFTERNOON SUN AND THE SUN VISOR CANNOT BE POSITIONED LOW ENOUGH TO BLOCK THE REFLECTION. THIS REFLECTION CAN TEMPORARILY BLIND THE DRIVER WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I AM TRADING THIS CAR IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2017 NISSAN MURANO. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 12 IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE SUNROOF GLASS AND HEADLINER WERE BOTH CLOSED. I SLIGHTLY OPENED THE HEADLINER AND COULD SEE THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND LOOKED ON TOP OF THE CAR TO FIND THE FRONT SECTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY EXPLODED AND WAS SHATTER. THE GLASS WAS ACTUALLY PROTRUDING UPWARD SO IT WAS OBVIOUS NOTHING HAD FALLING FROM THE SKY ON TOP OF IT. THE GLASS, THEN GAVE WAY AND COMPLETELY FELL ON THE FABRIC HEADLINER. WE THEN SPENT THE NEXT HOUR AND A HALF ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK WHERE THE VEHICLES WAS THEN TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER. AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT, IT WAS 75 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND CLEAR DAY. I WAS DRIVING 55 MILES PER HOUR.

Jun 28, 2018

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE GLARE FROM THE HOOD THAT BLINDS ME WHEN I'M DRIVING. WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON THE HOOD IT CAUSES A GLARE THAT PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM SEEING THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH 2018. I HAVE TRIED ADJUSTING MY SEAT, ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL, AND WEARING UV PROTECTED SUNGLASSES. NONE OF THESE SOLUTIONS HELP THE PROBLEM. NOW I'M EXPERIENCING EYE PAINS THAT I'M WORRIED MAY BE RELATED. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I'M WORRIED THAT THE GLARE WILL CAUSE ME TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE ICC SYSTEM WILL BEEP, FLASH A WARNING MESSAGE AND TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE WARNING MESSAGE SAYS, "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION.' THEN, THE CRUISE CONTROL AND FRONT RADAR ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO USE UNTIL THE SYSTEM RE-SETS ITSELF OR THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE TRIP.

INTERMITTENT 'FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION' WARNING LIGHT AND IMMEDIATE DISABLING OF THE PREDICTIVE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING AND CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY FOR THE RAPID DECELERATION THAT CAN OCCUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL.

Mar 19, 2019

THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILS - IT IS TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SAY'S THE FRONT RADAR SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAPPENS ARBITRARILY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING REGARDLESS OF DAY OR NIGHT OR WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE SYSTEM WILL BE OPERABLE AGAIN IN 10 OR 15 MINUTES. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN. THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ARE RESEARCHING THE CAUSE. HOWEVER NISSAN DIDN'T ALERT ME TO THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE NISSAN IS REALLY WORKING ON A SOLUTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE RADAR SYSTEM STOPS THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND THE CAR BEGINS TO DECELLERATE. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THIS MAY STARTLE OR CONFUSE THE DRIVER AND LEAD TO PANIC OR ABRUPT MANUVERS.

THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING IS GETTING FALSE TRIGGERS AND DISABLES ITSELF AFTER SUCH INCIDENT. MANY TIMES TRIGGERS WITHOUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. HAS ALSO APPLIED BRAKES ON ONE OCCASION WHEN THERE WAS NO VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. THE FEB SENSOR WAS UPDATED IN 2019 WITH A NEW PART THAT DOES NOT SEND FALSE TRIGGERS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MURANOS FROM 2015-2018. THIS SAFETY FEATURE IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE BOUGHT THIS CAR AND NOW THAT FEATURE IS NOT RELIABLE. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD SUPPLY UPDATED PART AND LET CUSTOMER PAY LABOR TO HAVE THIS SAFETY FEATURE BE MORE RELIABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15 - 20 MPH ON A CITY STREET, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS A 3 BEEP WARNING THEN THE CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY. THE DEALER, CENTRAL AVENUE NISSAN IN YONKERS, NY. CHECKED THE SYSTEM AND RECEIVED CODE C1B55 (ELSEWHERE IN THE REPORT CITED, C1355), RADAR BLOCKAGE, (STORED PAST CODE). THE TECHNICIAN ATTRIBUTED THIS TO "SIDE RADAR BLOCKAGE" THEY CHECKED THE AREA OF THE SENSOR AND FOUND NO DEBRIS. NISSAN SERVICE WAS NOT CLEAR WHY A FALSE SIDE RADAR BLOCKAGE WARNING SHOULD TRIGGER ABRUPT BRAKING. ALSO, THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY FIX ANY PROBLEM. THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED AND CONTAINS SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FROM THE SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS NOT GENERALLY SHOWN TO THE CUSTOMER.

RADAR COLLISION DETECTION ISSUES. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2017, WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING PERIODIC WARNINGS "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION" AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE. ON A 2 HOUR DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE WOULD SEE THE MESSAGE OVER 10 TIMES AND THIS CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO STOP. THIS SEEMS TO MOST OFTEN OCCUR IF THERE IS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US THAT CHANGES LANES. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS DRIVING AROUND TOWN, IT'S NOT ONLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS REALLY IMPACTING OUR SAFETY BECAUSE THE WARNING MESSAGE SCARES WHOEVER IS DRIVING THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE TOLD NISSAN OF THIS ISSUE AS EARLY AS SUMMER 2019 AND THEY MADE ADJUSTMENTS, BUT IT ISN'T FIXED. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PUT IN THE 'WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN' FIELD BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. *TR

WE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE(S) FIXED BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WE WILL PROBABLY NOT BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OUR SIXTH CONSECUTIVE PURCHASE FROM NISSAN.

Rear lift-gate failed to latch. Paid for assessment and repair in August 2024. I was told it could occur again that there is hatch issue with this vehicle. Eight months later, the rear lift-gate failed to latch again. I took it back to the dealership. While driving, it is unsafe as the warning lights are flashing on the dash and an alarm is screeching for the entirety of the trip. You cannot safely drive a vehicle when the door will not latch. After inspection of the vehicle, they advised to repair the lock assembly($770) though $180 was paid at first assessment . I was told this may not be the final solution to the problem. This time there was no discussion of the hatch issue with this vehicle. Hmmm, there is an online forum for other Nissan owners with the same problem. I never received any warning lamps prior to the issue. The rear lift hatch was working until it wasn't. Thank goodness I was not on a road trip (I have two adult children who live out of state). It is unnerving and unsafe to drive while all of the warning lights and sounds are ON all while your rear door is unable to latch. In my opinion, this is a SAFETY issue. There have been two class action suits on the 2017 Murano. One for foggy headlamps and one for the CVT transmission. I did not join the suits. At the time I was contacted, my headlamps were not foggy, now they are. Knock on wood, I have no issues with my transmission. I can drive safely with foggy headlamps. I can NOT drive safely when my rear door will not latch. There are 3 buttons for this feature (the dash, the rear door, and the glove box). The button in the glove box allows you to turn off the auto lift feature. Even when you turn it off, the door will not latch. In my opinion, there is a faulty design. This should be a RECALL, not a repair. I am long past the days of soccer and basketball tournaments where a rear door gets a workout. It's just me. Having a door close and latch seems fundamental to the safety of a vehicle.

THE ABS LIGHT, CRASH SENSOR LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE CAR IS ON. THE THREE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME, AND WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON EACH TIME THE CAR IS STARTED, AND WHEN THEY DO COME ON, IT IS NOT ONLY AT THE TIME OF START UP. THEY USUALLY COME ON AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. THEY HAVE COME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, STARTING UP FROM A RED LIGHT, WHILE DRIVING (VARIOUS SPEEDS), ETC. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, NOTHING ELSE IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR--ONLY NORMAL USAGE--NO WEIRD SOUNDS, FEELINGS, ETC. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. PER THE DEALERSHIP, THE ABS SENSORS, THE SPEED CONTROL SENSORS AND THE ACTUATOR HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED, BUT THE LIGHTS STILL PRESENT THEMSELVES. NISSAN TECHNICIANS HAVE ADVISED THAT THEY WILL NEED TO BRING A NISSAN ENGINEER TO HELP THEM WITH THE ISSUE. THE CAR IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 19K MILES ON IT. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT I SHOULD BE DEALING WITH AND IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED PERMANENTLY SO IT IS NOT A RECURRING ISSUE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 NISSAN MURANO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, WHILE IN MOTION ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY MY CAR WILL BEEP AND SHOW "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION". IT THEN TURNS OFF MY ABILITY TO HAVE CRUISE CONTROL AND REMOVES AEB AND FEB FEATURES. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT LOOKS LIKE SEVERAL NISSAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY RADAR. NISSAN REPLACED THE RADAR ONCE BUT THAT RADAR IS NOW BAD TOO. THE AEB, FEB, AND CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK IN MY CAR. NISSAN STATES THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN REPLACING THE RADAR AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE REPLACED IT BEFORE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A POTENTIAL RECALL IN MY OPINION.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM AND CRUISE CONTROL WILL STOP WORKING. ON AVERAGE IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 20 TO 25 MILES AND REMAINS OFF FOR 2 TO 3 MINUTES. IT DOES NOT OCCUR AT REGULAR INTERVALS THOUGH, THIS IS JUST THE AVERAGE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET NISSAN TO REPLACE THE SENSOR WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT WANT TO AND FINALLY WHEN THEY AGREED THEY SAID THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER DUE TO HIGH DEMAND SO I'M NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. THE SENSOR STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND HAVING THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING/AUTOMATIC BRAKING NOT RELIABLE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HAVING THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORK IS JUST AN ANNOYANCE. AT NISSAN'S SUGGESTIONS, I'VE CLEANED THE SENSOR MANY TIMES AND I'VE ENSURED THAT NOTHING IS BLOCKING THE SENSOR. IT IS SIMPLY A FAULTY, UNRELIABLE PART AND I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW. IT TOOK MANY MONTHS OF COMPLAINING AND SENDING THEM PICTURES OF IT NOT WORKING BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR THE FIRST TIME. THAT FIXED THE ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT NOW THE SECOND SENSOR ON THE CAR HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR OVER A YEAR. I'M ATTACHING A COUPLE OF PICTURES FOR EXAMPLE. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED OVER A 100 TIMES TO ME THOUGH.

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.

Car power steering rack liking bad, car has 46k miles This car should be recalled, is got major issues with power steering rack, in which Nissan didn’t do it right do to parts shortage, this is dangerous for my kids this car can burn any second, if you telling me that car at 46 k has a major power steering leek I would never buy this car, we took our car into Nissan they do not want to fix this, they asking $2100 to fix for what Nissan did when they build a car, this has to be on recall list for all Nissan 2017, , local Nissan is ignoring this problem, we will sue , this is a dangerous problem to have on the car, it will catch a fire eventually, start resolving this to avoid law suits. 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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEATS

2 complaints

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.

WHEN I REMOVED MY PILLOW FROM THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE SEAT, NOTICED THE BIG SCORCHED AREA AND THE SEAMS WERE BRIGHT RED, THE SEAT WAS BURNING HOT TO TOUCH. BURNING SMELL WAS NOTED, AND THE SEAT SWITCH WAS STILL ON THOUGH THE CAR WAS OFF OVER A HOUR. THE OTHER SEATS WERE NORMAL ( COOL ) TO TOUCH. I IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES AND STAYED BY THE CAR MAKING SURE THE SEAT AREA COOLED TO NORMAL. NOTE.....MY PILLOW WAS SCORCHED TOO. THE CAR IS A 2017 NISSAN MURANO, BOUGHT IT NEW.

HELLO, RECENTLY, I BOUGHT 2017 NISSAN MURANO PLATINUM. AFTER A MONTH, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I INCREASE HEATED SEAT TEMPERATURE TO MAXIMUM, ONE HALF(RIGHT) SIDE OF FRONT SEAT HEATING IS VERY HIGH AND OTHER HALF ACT NOT EVEN 50%. I CALLED NISSAN DEALER LOCALLY TO LOOK AND INVESTIGATE HEATING DISTRIBUTION ISSUE. ON THE SAME TIME I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND EXPLAIN SITUATION. I WAS TOLD BY CUSTOMER CARE TO REPORT FINDINGS BACK TO THEM BASED ON DEALERSHIP RESPONSE. DEALERSHIP RESPONDED IT IS JUST A WAY DESIGN BY NISSAN FOR ALL MURANO, THERE IS NOTHING CAN BE DONE. IT'S JUST A WAY IT IS. I FEEL HELPLESS BY NISSAN OVERALL EXPERIENCE. NISSAN SHOULD BE ABLE TO STEP UP AND LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE TO MAKE SURE HEATED SEAL HEAT DISTRIBUTION SHOULD BE UNIFORM, NOT LIKE ONE HALF OF SEAL GET VERY HIGH COMPARE TO OTHER HALF. THIS IS VERY POOR DESIGN WITH RESPECT TO HEATED SEAT SAFETY.

Injuries: 1

CVT Transmission stops accelerating at some point after driving. RPMs don’t increase and vehicle struggles to maintain speed. Speed only increases or decreases due to incline or decline of the road. It’s dangerous as it mostly occurs on freeways/highways. Problem has been happening for 2+ years. Dealer cannot confirm as no check engine light code is created and problem ceases to exist only after engine is turned off. Vehicle is available to be inspected.

LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS PUTTING UP BARRIERS TO MY RECALL REPAIR. ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, I WAS TOLD THAT 'WE DON'T DO RECALL REPAIRS ON THE WEEKEND'. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEIR LABOR COSTS ON THE WEEKEND ARE MY PROBLEM. I CALLED ON A MONDAY MORNING WHEN I WAS ON VACATION FROM WORK. NOT ONLY COULD THE SERVICE MANAGER NOT CONFIRM FOR ME WHETHER THEY HAD THE NECESSARY PARTS ON HAND TO REPAIR MY RECALL...SHE ALSO SAID THEY ONLY DO IT BY APPOINTMENT AND NEED 1 WEEKS NOTICE!! SO I AM BEING EXPECTED TO BRING MY CAR IN TWICE (ONCE FOR THEM TO 'LOOK AT IT AND CONFIRM I'M ON THE RECALL LIST, AND A 2ND TIME TO GET THE REPAIR DONE). HOW IS IT THAT THE MANUFACTURER MAKES A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, YET I AM EXPECTED TO JUMP THROUGH ALL THESE HOOPS, TAKE TIME OFF OF WORK (VACATION TIME) TO MEET ALL OF THEIR TERMS OF FIXING A MISTAKE THAT NISSAN MADE. BUT HEY, THEY WERE SURE TO GET THOSE NOTICES MAILED OUT SUPER FAST, TO GIVE ME THE IMPRESSION THEY CARED ABOUT MY SPOUSES LIFE/DEATH RISK EVERY DAY WHEN SHE DRIVES A FLAWED PRODUCT TO/FROM WORK. SO UNACCOMMODATING AND ARROGANT OF NISSAN TO PUT THEIR CUSTOMERS THROUGH THIS GAUNTLET.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS NOT DEFLATING IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30MPH. I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY ROAD WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED LEFT FROM THE RIGHT LANE CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND OUR VEHICLES COLLIDED.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 complaint

I bought the car used from a used dealership on February 28. On May 12th, I brought it to the shop for a few things but mainly due to the battery being corroded along with a battery light that comes and goes, but also for there being a slight skip in the transmission. The car would buckle when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. The shop called me back on May 23rd and said the car was ready and they found nothing wrong with the transmission. They claimed they found no codes or could not recreate the issue. I brought the car back a week or two later due to the battery light still flashing randomly. While taking the car for a test drive with the mechanic, it buckled pretty hard and I told the mechanic that’s what I had been talking about and he just brushed it off. On July 23, while driving home, my car bucked REALLY hard 5 times and then stopped accelerating past 20 miles per hour. On august 11th, I tried taking it for a test drive and it drove completely fine, like nothing had ever happened. While heading back to my house, I lost all gears and the car stopped accelerating while I was going up a hill. My rpm’s went way up but my car started to roll backwards down the hill. My grandmother happened to be behind me and she ended up pushing into my bumper and pushing me up the hill due to there being no pull of section and the speed limit being 50 mph. There were no lights on my dash indicating there was a problem. If my grandmother wasn’t there, it could have been much worse. I talked to someone at a local Nissan dealership and he claimed that my transmission is going and that even though my car is doing the same thing as a lot of the recalls and cars they offered extended warranties on, that mine didn’t qualify for one.

I TOOK CAR BACK IN TODAY FOR SERVICE AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME I HAD 2 BROKEN WHEEL STUDS, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MY TIRE TO FALL OFF. IN THE REPAIR PAPERWORK, THEY ONLY WROTE THEY REPLACED LUG NUTS. THE ISSUE IS WHETHER MISSING LUG NUTS OR BROKEN WHEEL STUDS, THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET ME DRIVE OFF THAT LOT WITH A TIRE ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND CAUSED MY LIFE.

MY CAR HAS A FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM IS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, IN LOWER GRILLE. THE SENSOR DETECTS WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU HAS STOPPED. AS YOU GET CLOSER TO THE VEHICLE, IF YOU DO NOT STOP, THE CAR WILL SOUND A 3-BEEP ALERT NOTIFYING YOU TO STOP. IF YOU STILL DO NOT STOP, THE CAR WILL APPLY THE BRAKES AND FORCE THE CAR TO STOP TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT., I WAS DRIVING HOME, WHEN THE 3-BEEP ALERT SOUNDED, AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY STARTED FLASHING RED AND WHITE LIGHTS. A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY STATED THAT A CRASH WAS IMMINENT. THEN THE BRAKES ENGAGED SUDDENLY, AND THE CAR ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE BRAKES ENGAGED SO HARD AND SO QUICKLY, THAT IT THREW ME FORWARD IN THE SEAT. AT THE TIME, THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP AND NO CRASH WAS IMMINENT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, BUT NISSAN WON'T ISSUE A RECALL. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WON'T REPLACE THE SENSOR. THE DEALER TOLD ME MY SENSOR BRACKET WAS SLIGHTLY BENT, BUT THE VEHILE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND NEVER IN AN ACCEDENT I ASKED IF THE BRAKET WAS INSTALLED FORM THE FACTORY SLIGHTLY BENT THEY SAID IT COULD OF BEEN? THIS DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, IF THE SENSOR BRACKET WAS BENT IT SHOULD NEVER OF WORKED FROM THE START??? , IF THIS WERE THE CASE, THERE WILL BE A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY INDICATING THE SENSOR IS OBSTRUCTED OR NOT FUNTIONING, AND THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM WILL TURN OFF. THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED . I DECIDED TO GET ANOTHER UNBIASED OPINION FROM A NON NISSAN DEALER REPAIR SHOP. THEY ORDERED A BRACKET FROM NISSAN AND SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS NOT BENT THAT NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CRASH SENSOR AND IS LOOKING FOR ANY WAY TO DENY THE REPAIR. THE SHOP OWNER TOLD ME TO CALL NSSAN AND HAVE A REP COMEOUT

ON JANUARY 22, 2020 AROUND 5:30 AM I DISCOVERED THAT MY BACKUP CAMERA WAS NOT FUNCTIONING.

THE BACKUP CAMERA IS SHOWING THE RED, GREEN AND YELLOW GUIDE LINES BUT THE SCREEN IS BLACK. IT IS NOT RETURNING ANY IMAGES FROM BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS AT HOME IN A PARKING SPOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. ONE WEEK LATER TO TODAY, JANUARY 28,2020, THE BACKUP CAMERA IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT DID WORK FOR A FEW DAYS ON ITS OWN WITHOUT BEING REPAIRED AFTER JANUARY 22,2020 AND THEN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. IT SEEM TO BE WORKING OFF AND ON AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN, MY VEHICLE MILLAGE WAS AT 36,099. NISSAN OF CORAL SPRINGS FLORIDA STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 AND WILL NOT HONOR MY VEHICLE. I AM A MOTHER OF TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE REVERSING IN MY NISSAN BECAUSE LOOKING THROUGH THE BACK OR REAR GLASS OF THE NISSAN MURANO IS VERY DIFFICULT DUE TO ITS DESIGN.

MY CAR HAS A FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. THE SENSOR FOR THIS SYSTEM IS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, UNDERNEATH ONE OF THE HEAD LIGHTS. THE SENSOR DETECTS WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU HAS STOPPED. AS YOU GET CLOSER TO THE VEHICLE, IF YOU DO NOT STOP, THE CAR WILL SOUND A 3-BEEP ALERT NOTIFYING YOU TO STOP. IF YOU STILL DO NOT STOP, THE CAR WILL APPLY THE BRAKES AND FORCE THE CAR TO STOP TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. ONE NIGHT, I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A CITY STREET, WHEN THE 3-BEEP ALERT SOUNDED, AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY STARTED FLASHING RED AND WHITE LIGHTS. THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY STATING THAT A CRASH WAS IMMINENT. THEN THE BRAKES ENGAGED SUDDENLY, AND THE CAR ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE BRAKES ENGAGED SO HARD AND SO QUICKLY, THAT IT THREW ME FORWARD IN THE SEAT. AT THE TIME, THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP AND NO CRASH WAS IMMINENT. THE CLOSEST CAR TO ME WAS 2-3 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD, AND IT HAD NOT STOPPED. THANKFULLY, THE STREET WAS NOT BUSY AT THE TIME, AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, BUT NISSAN WON'T ISSUE A RECALL. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO 2 NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WON'T REPLACE THE SENSOR. THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME MY SENSOR WAS DIRTY, BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, IF THE SENSOR IS DIRTY, THERE WILL BE A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY INDICATING THE SENSOR IS OBSTRUCTED, AND THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM WILL TURN OFF. THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. THE SECOND NISSAN DEALER DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON MY CAR AND RESET THE SENSOR. I KEEP BEING TOLD TO BRING THE CAR BACK IF THE ISSUE HAPPENS AGAIN, BUT THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF ISSUE YOU WANT TO WAIT TO HAVE HAPPEN AGAIN. WHAT IF I AM ON A BUSY STREET OR THE HIGHWAY? I COULD HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.
