2006 Nissan Murano

TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COMPLETELY STOP WORKING UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ICE WENT DOWN BELOW THE HOOD, AND IT STOPPED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM WORKING. THE ICE PREVENTED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN COME BACK UP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MUST BE ABLE TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK PROPERLY. SHE WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED, BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IN A STORM. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT SHE SHOULD LIFT THE HOOD AND CLEAN THE AREA WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE IN ANOTHER STORM, AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING AGAIN. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CONTACT WAS IN A BAD STORM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE BOTH 4600 .*AK UPDATE *4/23/07 *TR

PROBLEM (CONTINUING TO) FILL-UP WITH FUEL WHEN USING GAS PUMPS WITH VAPOR RECOVERY: FOR THE MOST PART, THE PUMP TRIGGER SHOULD NOT BE OPENED TO MAXIMUM OTHERWISE WILL TRIGGER A SHUT-OFF; HOWEVER, IF A SLIGHT JERK BACK OF THE PUMP OCCURS, WILL TRIGGER A STOP AND CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE FILL-UP EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING TOPPED OFF. RESEARCHING THE WEB HAD REVEALED THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY LATER-MODEL VEHICLES. *NM

MURANO IS STILL CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT AND DEALER CAN NOT FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE OR RE-PURCHASE MY VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME IT HAS BEEN SEEN BY THE DEALER 5 TIMES DOCUMENTED, 2 TIMES UNDOCUMENTED. I FEEL LIKE THIS FALLS INTO THE LEMON LAW, SO I WILL BE FILLING A LEMON LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN AT THIS TIME. I LIKE MY MURANO BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. *JB

TAKEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR CONTINUOUS SMELL OF COOLANT COMING FROM VEHICLE WHEN MOTOR GETS HOT. DEALER CONTINUES TO CLAIM THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. RECENTLY TOOK A TRIP TO TENNESSEE AND THE COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR WAS ALMOST GONE BY THE TIME I GOT BACK HOME. IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM NISSAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. AT THIS TIME NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED OR REPLACED AND WE STILL HAVE THE SMELL OF THE COOLANT COMING FROM OUR VEHICLE. *NM

EVIDENTLY A ROCK WAS ABLE TO PENETRATE MY CONDENSER DUE TO THE WIDE OPEN GAPS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. MY A/C IS NO LONGER PROVIDING COLD AIR IN MY 2 MONTH OLD 2006 NISSAN MURANO. COST OF THE REPAIR $717.98 AND NO KNOWN PREVENTION OF THIS RECURRING MULTIPLE TIMES. PER THE LAKE NISSAN SALES MANAGER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO SL. THE RECURRING PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP STOPS GENERALLY AFTER PUMPING ONLY 0.5 GALLONS TO 3 GALLONS. OFTEN, I CAN NOT FILL IT UP ANYMORE AT THAT PUMP. SOMETIMES, I CAN START TO FILL IT UP AT A SLOWER RATE AND CONTINUE TO GET THE REST OF THE GAS IN THE TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 7 OR 8 DIFFERENT STATIONS IN TOWN, AT NUMEROUS PUMPS - SO IT IS NOT A CASE WHERE 1 PUMP AT A STATION IS PUMPING TOO FAST (AS WAS USED AS THE INITIAL EXCUSE). I HAVE READ IN FORUMS OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, IN ADDITION SOMEONE AT MY DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. YET MY MURANO IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE MAY 2006. THEY HAVE CLEANED THE ROLLOVER FLOAT AND ARE NOW REPLACING THE TANK ASSEMBLY. ONE MORE TIME QUALIFIES FOR THE LEMON LAW IN ILLINOIS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER THE REARVIEW MIRROR WAS CHECKED AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A DUMP TRUCK AND WAS DRAGGED BY THE TRUCK. THE CONTACT HAD NO RECOLLECTION OF EVENTS AFTER CHECKING THE MIRROR. THE CONTACT HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, ALTHOUGH THE SEATBELT WAS WORN. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CONTACT'S STERNUM FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS NOT STRUCK AND THE AIRBAGS SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED.
