WHEN DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO ESPECIALLY ON HOT DAYS/IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN IT HAPPENS (~1X/WEEK), THE VEHICLE WILL BE AT A COMPLETE STOP & NOT BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL AROUND 3K RPMS. THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED BY CYCLING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN ON, GIVEN THAT THE DRIVING CONDITIONS DON'T REMAIN IN THE FORM WHICH APPEARED TO INITIATE THE INCIDENT. IN ONE INSTANCE (AND ONLY ONCE), THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING, WITH THE A/C ON WHILE I MADE A QUICK RUN INTO A CONVIENENCE STORE. AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE WITHOUT A PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED IT'S SLIGHT HESITATION WHILE IN DRIVE, BUT THEN LURCHED FORWARD AT ~3K RPMS, AND ACQUIRED THE DESIRED SPEED AND MANUEVERS. AFTER WAITING AT THE LIGHT JUST OUTSIDE OF THE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR IN THE FORM OF MOVEMENT. THAT IS, THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO AS MUCH AS 5K RPMS, BUT NOT MOVE MORE THE .5-1MPH. THE USUAL CYCLING OF THE ENGINE OFF & THEN ON, WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT DESTINATION WAS NEARBY (1MI.) & DOWNHILL, SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST, IN NEUTRAL, TO THAT LOCATION WHILST BEING HONKED AT & NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD SAT AT THAT LOCATION FOR ~3HRS, THERE WERE NO OTHER PROBLEMS OF THE LIKE. IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THE HESITATION PROBLEM WAS NOT EXPERIENCED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. HOWEVER, IT WASN'T TOO LONG BEFORE THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM RETURNED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO OTHER MECHANICAL ISSUES I HAVE NOTICED. NO CORRELATIONS OTHER THAN THAT OF TEMPERATURE AND/OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE IS THAT THOSE CORRELATIONS ARE NOT DEPENDENT UPON EACH OTHER; THE PROBLEM CAN/DOES OCCUR IN THE ABSENCE OF EITHER. HOWEVER, IT IS TYPICALLY NOT SEEN WITHOUT AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE FACTORS PRESENT. *TT

THE DRIVERS SEAT LIFTER LINK ASSEMBLY ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO BROKE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DESGIN FLAW THAT IS COMMON IN MANY MURANOS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER ORDERING NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES THRU A RECALL. IT APPEARS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION, NISSAN IS NOT MOTIVATED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE DESIGN AND IS FORCING BUYERS TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS AND INTRODUCES A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *KB
NISSAN IS RECALLING 362,891 MY 2003-2007 MURANO VEHICLES. THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE RESONATOR IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE, MAY SEPARATE FROM THE RESONATOR WITH ENGINE MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION OCCURS DUE TO THE PREMATURE AGING OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE SHRINKING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: ENGINE MAY STALL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE/REPAIR THE APPROPRIATE COMPONENTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

DURING AN INSPECTION OF SOME VEHICLES AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED WITH THE IGNITION KNOB IN THE "OFF" POSITION BUT THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION NOT BEING IN THE "PARK" POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE "OFF" POSITION WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING IN THE "PARK" POSITION, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CAN LOCK WHEN TURNED TO THE RIGHT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 18, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, A FITTING FOR VAPOR RECIRCULATION, WHICH IS WELDED ON THE FUEL TANK, MAY COME OFF THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE INCORRECT MATERIAL WAS USED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL COMING ON AND MAY RESULT IN SOME FUEL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON SOME SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, IN CERTAIN HIGH SPEED FRONTAL CRASHES, THE WEBBING OF A REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELT MAY CONTACT THE REAR SEAT BACK HINGE WHERE IT CAN BE CUT BY THE SHARP EDGE OF THE METAL PORTION OF THE HINGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WEBBING IS COMPLETELY SEPARATED, IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO AN OCCUPANT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL PROTECTORS OVER THE WEBBING OF THE REAR SEAT BELTS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE FUEL TANK, IN THE EVENT THAT A VEHICLE FRONT TIRE RUNS OVER A SMALL, SHARP OBJECT IN THE ROAD, CATCHES IT AND PROPELS IT TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT MAY STRIKE AND PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A PUNCTURED TANK COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL PROTECTORS IN FRONT OF THE TANK FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A WIRE BREAKING INSIDE THE ALTERNATOR COULD STOP THE BATTERY FROM CHARGING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS HAPPENS, THE CHARGER WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LAMPS WILL IMMEDIATELY COME ON AND THE BATTERY WILL BEGIN TO DISCHARGE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE ENGINE WILL GO INTO A "FALL SAFE" CONDITION WHICH WILL LIMIT VEHICLE SPEED. THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH A NEW VERSION WHICH HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO PREVENT MOVEMENT OF THE COIL. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 1, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
