2003 Nissan Murano

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2012, USED- BAG AN HAVING ISSUES IMMEDIATELY, INCLUDING , NO HEAT, STALLING, WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN ON THEIR OWN IN WINTER- RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT FOR 1 WEEK, SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT THE FUEL PUMP. WE REPLACED IT AND TROUBLE CONTINUED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID TO TAKE TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC, A CERTIFIED NISSAN MECHANIC NOW LOOKING IT OVER AND CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, WE HAVE THROWN SO MUCH MONEY INTO TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK. OVERHEATS AND CAN NOT CLIMB EVEN THE SMALLEST OF INCLINE WITHOUT OVERHEATING, THE NISSAN COMPANY WANTS US YO PAY FOR ALL THE TESTING THEY REQUIRE, WE HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT DRIVABLE OR RELIABLE IN ANY WAY- AFTER 4 YEARS THERE IS STILL NO ANSWERS AS TO WHY IT WILL NOT RUN PROPERLY, SO DISAPPOINTING YO PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT LOOKS GOOD AND IS COMFORTABLE, AND HAS BECOME A LAWN ORNAMENT THAT STILL HAS A LARGE BALANCE TO PAY- DOES NISSAN PRODUCE THINGS THEY WALK AWAY FROM LAUGHING AT THE CONSUMERS FOR PURCHASING A NON REPUTABLE VEHICLE. SO AGGRAVATING TO BE TOLD IT IS OUR PROBLEM, FEEL AS THOUGH I COULD HAVE GONE TO THE JUNKYARD AND PURCHASED A WRECKED VEHICLE AND HAD BETTER RESULTS, WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON A VEHICLE WE PURCHASED WITHOUT THE RUN AROUND. SOUNDS LIKE THEY MADE A PROBLEM CAR FROM THE OTHER COMMENTS ON HOW OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES, WITHOUT ANY ANSWERS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING AND OVERHEATING AND NO PRODUCTION OF HEAT IN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ISSUE SINCE PURCHASING IN 2012 TO NOW 2016, JUST WOULD LIKE SOME SORT OF ANSWERS.

ON JUNE 18TH 2015 MY CAR FELT AS IF WAS LOSING POWER AND THEN MY BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY CAME ON. I CAME TO A SLOW MOVING PACE, LIKE 10 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST ALL POWER. WOULD NOT CRANK. REPLACED BATTERY AND WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THEN AGAIN SAME THING. COULD HAVE REALLY CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT.... DID SOME RESEARCH AND HAD ALTERNATOR TESTED. BAD ALTERNATOR. REPLACED IT. AND AGAIN TODAY SAME THING. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND GETTING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NOT MY CAR. VERY UPSET. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD VERY WELL TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE. I HAVE REPLACED THE CENSOR, BATTERY AND NOW TWO ALTERNATOR'S WITHIN 2 MONTHS.

COMING OFF EXIT RAMP, STOPPED AND TURNED LEFT, WAS GOING AROUND 25 MPH WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD, ACCELERATED, RPM SHOT UP. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR THEN SLOWED AND BEGAN DRIVING NORMALLY. A WEEK LATER, MY WIFE AND I WERE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 60 MPH WHEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AS THOUGH IT WAS PUT INTO A LOW GEAR. WE COULD ONLY GET IT TO GO NO MORE THAT 35 MPH. WE PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER AND PARKED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. HAD TO TOW IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 65 WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS BEFORE, IT WENT INTO A LOWER GEAR, LOWERING MY SPEED TO AROUND 30 MPH WHICH CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET HIT FROM BEHIND. HAD IT BEEN A LARGE TRUCK IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE HIT ME. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN I PULLED OUT AGAIN, IT DROVE AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS FROM MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND STATING THAT LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND IF THEY DO ANYTHING, THEY CHANGE OUT THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST TO THE OWNER. I JUST PURCHASED MY MURANO A FEW MONTHS AGO IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 FROM A SMALL LOT. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. TWICE WE COULD HAVE VERY EASILY BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE FIRST 2003 MURANOS, I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD ORDER A RECALL AND FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *JS

AS I WAS COMING OUT OF A TUNNEL DRIVING NORMALLY AT 55 MPH, MY MURANO JOLTED AND SURGED IT'S RPM INTO THE RED. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. AFTER GOING ONLINE AND SEEING THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NISSAN HAS NOT CONDUCTED A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I CALLED NISSAN CANADA TODAY AND GOT NO WHERE. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 200 KM. WHICH MY CAR NOW AT 158K AND 2014 DO NOT APPLY. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AS NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS FAULTY PROBLEM AND IS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED. SHE SAID IT WASN'T NISSAN WHO MAKES THE RULES ON RECALLS BUT THE NHTSA. WHICH TO ME IS JUST A COP-OUT! WHAT COMPANY PRODUCES A FAULTY PRODUCT AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT! *JS

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A DEALER AS A USED VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2013. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VERY SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHEN DRIVING THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN SCARY AND UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS AND I HAVE RUN THE RISK OF REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. OTHER TIMES IT HAS BEEN AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC THAT IS TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED AND YOU HAVE TO SPEED UP TO MERGE. IF YOUR CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL OTHERS CAN CRASH INTO YOU. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER NISSAN MURANOS THAT ARE THE SAME YEAR AS MINE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES AND NISSAN HAS RECEIVED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS WITH REGARD TO CVT AND FRONT TRANSFER CASE (CRACKS/FRACTURES) ISSUES BUT THAT NISSAN HAS NOT HAD A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER THAT I HAVE IN MY CAR WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR! I ALSO PURCHASED THIS CAR AFTER ANOTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED MY OTHER VEHICLE AND NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT HAS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES THAT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT!! *TR

I AM DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WONT ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC. A WARNING LIGHT GOES ON THEN GOES OFF. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER AND AM SCARED TO LET HER DRIVE IT. ,I AM A WIDOW AND MONEY IS VERY TIGHT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING IT WOULD BE SAFE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING SO I GOGGLED IT TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS OR HAD THESE ISSUES. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CAR BUT ONLY CERTAIN VIN#'S. HOW CAN YOU RULE OUT THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY ARE ALL SAYING THAT THEY WONT GOING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY.IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING BEFORE NISSAN WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CAR AND IT'S PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I HAVE POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER WHERE THIS IS CONCERNED AND IT IS TAKING EVERYTHING I CAN DO TO NOT TO START HAVING PANIC ATTACKS WHERE THIS IS CONCERNED. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING AND SO DOES THE GOVERNMENT REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO GOING 45MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED, THE AIR WENT OUT, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS PRESSING THE GAS BUT IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND IT SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I'VE BEEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS THAT CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM SO THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THEY THINK IT'S MAYBE ELECTRICAL OR ENGINE COOLING. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR YEARS 3 YEARS AGO IN MIAMI AND IN THE BEGINNING I NOTICED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A MINOR PROBLEM THAT I COULD FIX WHIT THE TIME BUT I WAS WRONG. IF I'M SENDING THIS COMPLAINT NOW, IS BECAUSE ON MY EFFORT TO FIX THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM I FIND THIS INFORMATION ON THE WEB WHERE IT LOOKS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WORST PART OF THIS BEGAN A COUPLE MOUTHS AGO WHEN I WAS GETTING BACK FROM PENNSYLVANIA WITH MY FAMILY ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVEN AROUND 65 MILES AND UNEXPECTEDLY THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM CAME "THE DECELERATION"FROM 65 IT WAS GETTING TO 30 MILES, IT SCARED ME A LOT BUT I CONSIDERED MYSELF THAT I'M A GOOD DRIVER AND MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO LET THE MOTOR WORK BY ITSELF I DIDN'T TOUCH THE SPEED AND THE BRAKE AND I PULL OVER THE CAR WITH THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS I TURN IT OFF AND I WAITED 20 MINUTES AND THEN I TURN IT ON THE CAR AGAIN, FORTUNATELY IT WORKED AFTER THIS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM I THOUGHT. I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY AND HONESTLY I DON'T NEED THE CAR IF I BOUGHT IS JUST FOR PLEASURE TO GO OUT THE CITY TO VACATION AND HERE I FIND OTHER PROBLEM; WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES LIKE HERE IN THE CITY YOU DIDN'T NOTICE ABOUT THIS BUT THE PROBLEM IT COMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES OVER 50 MILES AND THEN THE MOTOR LOOSE POWER. THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE EVERY TIME WHEN I DO THE IGNITION THEN 5 MINUTES LATTER THE MOTOR LOOSE POWER. I CHANGE SEVERAL AUTO PARTS ON THE ENGINE SYSTEM AND THE ELECTRICAL TOO, I THOUGHT THAT MAY BE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD BE THE PROBLEM A SENSOR A FUSIBLE OR SOMETHING BUT HOWEVER I STILL WITHOUT FIX THIS PROBLEM I DON'T WANT DRIVE ANY MORE THIS CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW COULD BE THE REACTION OF THE CAR AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY, EVEN I DON'T WANT EVEN TRY TO SELL IT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WILL BE BADNESS TO SELL AT SOMEBODY ON THAT CONDITION. THANK YOU *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 7/15/14, DROVE IT HOME AND IT WOULD NOT START 7/16/14. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SHUT OFF 2 MORE TIMES WHILE PARKED. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND RUNNING TO GO ABOUT MY ERRANDS. I STOPPED TO PICK SOMEONE UP FROM THE HOSPITAL AND IT STARTED UP, BUT IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTED BUCKING AND SHUDDERING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SEEMED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND HE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF GETTING IT SERVICED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE REAR CAM POSITION SENSOR WENT BAD. I CALLED HALDEMANN NISSAN IN HAMILTON, NJ TO INQUIRE ABOUT RECALLS, AS I KNEW THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER HAD NO RECALLS. *TR
