2006 Nissan Murano

FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO FAILED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND QUOTED FOR REPLACE THE TWO FAILING FUEL SENDING UNITS $100 TO INSPECT + $700/$800 PART & LABOR. OF COURSE IS NOT COVERED BY NISSAN. HOW MANY OTHER BRANDS BESIDE NISSAN HAVE YOU SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM? I AM SIMPLY APPALLED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM NISSAN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS, DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSING, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON DUE TO FUEL GAUGE FAILURE, WIPER MOTOR/TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. MY NISSAN MURANO HAS ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND MORE. I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THE FACT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND UP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS IS AN INSULT TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT. NISSAN OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE DESPITE THE CLEAR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE COMPONENTS. WE LOVE TEH CAR BUT IT SHOULD HOLE TOGETHER BETTER THAN THIS. THERES ARE NOT ITEMS CAUSED BY HIGH MILLAGE JUT PLAIN POOR DESIGNS. SEATS BREAKING - NO WAY, VISORS FALLING DOWN - NO WAY, FUEL GAUGE FAILURE - NO WAY, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT - NO WAY, WIPER MOTOR/TRANSMISSION - NO WAY - PLEASE HELP US!!!! *TR

BOUGHT THE CAR, USED IN 2009. FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS CHARGERS IN CAR DID NOT WORK. WITHIN LAST SIX MONTHS FUEL GAUGE BECAME INACCURATE. THERE WAS ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE THE CAR JUST STOPPED, WILL LOOK FOR DETAILS. BUT 9/24/13 DRIVING UP A HILL, CAR CAME OUT OF GEAR AND STOPPED WORKING. THE PART THAT WAS ULTIMATELY REPLACED WAS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL-PART NUMBER 24820-CC20A. APPARENTLY, PANEL WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH TRANSMISSION PROPERLY. DEALER CHARGED US $1150 TO REPLACE. NEITHER SERVICE MANAGER OR SERVICE COORDINATOR HAS SEEN ONE WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY. YES, INTERNET FULL OF COMMENTS ABOUT ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND INSTRUMENT PANEL. THESE FAILURES APPEAR TO BE THE RESULT OF FAULTY SOLDERING OR WELDING OF CONNECTIONS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO FAILED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION DUE TO EMISSIONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND QUOTED FOR REPLACE THE TWO FAILING FUEL SENDING UNITS $99 TO INSPECT + $700 PART & LABOR. OF COURSE IS NOT COVERED BY NISSAN. HOW MANY OTHER BRANDS BESIDE NISSAN HAVE YOU SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM? I AM SIMPLY APPALLED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM NISSAN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEAT COLLAPSING, WHEEL BEARING GOING OUT, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, STEERING HOSES BRAKING CAUSING FIRE, IN VEHICLES WITH LOW MILEAGE I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THE FACT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND UP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS IS AN INSULT TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT. NISSAN OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE DESPITE THE CLEAR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE COMPONENTS. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, STEERING LEVEL SENSOR AND THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V401000 (STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE) OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) DID AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,430 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000. UPDATED 03/16/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED A MONTH AFTER THE FUEL TANK AND SENSOR WAS FIXED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT SENSOR WAS READING AN ERROR. UPDATED 0604/12

JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE BEEN READING, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT GAS IN MY MURANO I'M UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN BY THE NOZZLE. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET A FULL TANK OF GAS IS TO KEEP CLICKING CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL IT'S FULL. HOWEVER, NOW I HAVE A LOT OF BACK SPLASH OF GAS AND TO ME THIS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHERS. NISSAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT OR DEATH. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURED PROBLEM THEN IT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY AND RESPECTIVELY. I WENT BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THE PROBLEM AND THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS GIVEN TO TRY DIFFERENT PUMPS, HOLD THE TRIGGER GENTLY, AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE IT WILL DO THIS MORE OFTEN. WHAT TYPE OF RESOLUTION IS THIS?????? *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT, FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY, FUEL LEVEL CIRCUIT SENSOR HIGH INPUT CAR WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS TESTING NISSAN USA DOES NOT RESPOND TO PHONE CALLS OR CALL BACK REGARDING REQUEST FOR RECALL. THIS ITEM WAS RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN'S , BUT NOT THE MURANO. NISSAN STATES EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY ON FUEL SYSTEMS IS ONLY FOR 3 YEARS AND MY TIME IS OVER SINCE THE CAR IS NOW 5 YEARS OLD . SINCE JULY OF 2010 67,000 MILES THE TANK HAS BEEN TELLING ME I AM EMPTY WHEN I REACH HALF A TANK OF GAS THE CAR THINKS ITS EMPTY, I HAD NO INTENTION OF FIXING IT SINCE I KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR BUT NOW THAT IT WON'T PASS EMISSIONS TESTING, I TEST EVERY 2 YEARS AND SEPT 15, 2011 CAR WENT IN FOR TESTING AND FAILED DUE TO THIS FUEL PROBLEM, DUE TO COST TO FIX, I HAVE DEALT WITH POOR FUEL ECONOMY AND FUEL SENSOR/GAUGE MALFUNCTION BUT NOW I CAN'T PUT MY CAR ON THE ROAD ANYMORE DUE TO NOT PASSING EMISSIONS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO RENEW MY LICENSE PLATES. [XXX] NOW HAS EXACTLY 73,000 MILES ON IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

MY 2006 MURANO WAS BOUGHT USED, SHORTLY AFTER BUYING, I HAD DIFFICULTY PUTTING GAS INTO IT, PUMP KEPT SHUTTING OFF, IT ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY, SO I DID NOTHING ABOUT IT, BUT DID LOOK IT UP TO SEE THERE WAS A "SERVICE BULLETIN" NOW EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS IT WILL DO THIS, SO I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT IT TO GET THIS FIXED, AS I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY OTHERS W/ THIS SAME PROBLEM, IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE GAS WOULD SPILL BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON THE GROUND, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
