I WAS DRIVING AND RANDOMLY LOST POWER. NO POWERSTEERING, NO ACCELERATION, NO BRAKES, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH TURNED ON LIKE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, AND THE KEY WAS TURNED BACK TO ELECTRICAL (WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, I'M 100% SURE THE CAR TURNED OFF WITHOUT THE IGNITION KEY SWITCHING TO OFF). THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES NOW. THE CODE P0345 ACTIVATED SHORTLY AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN DECELERATING/BRAKING, ACCELERATING, AND COASTING, LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS WITH MURANOS ON THE INTERNET AND APPARENTLY HAPPENS TO A FEW OTHER NISSANS. THIS STARTED IN EARLY JUNE, WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE MID 80'S.

TAKATA RECALL MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION WANTS TO CUT OFF OR WON'T DRIVE. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WASN'T WANTING TO DRIVE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO MY RIGHT. THEN AS I ENTERED THE PARKING LOT THE CAR TURNED OFF COMPLETELY BY ITSELF AND I COULDN'T USE MY BREAKS OR STEERING WHEEL. I ENDED UP RUNNING IT INTO A CURB TO BE ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2005-2007 NISSAN. I LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT SAYS THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VECHILE BUT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A BABY AND DON'T NEED MY NISSAN SHUTTING OFF AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE I HAVE MY BABY IN THE CAR.
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME. I TOOK IT TO 2 MECHANICS AND THEY BOTH SAID THE MOTOR SEIZED. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE CAR WAS BURNING OIL AFTER THE FACT. THERE WAS NO SIGNS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE ON THE CAR THAT I NOTICED WAS THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING A BIT SLUGGISH . I'VE REPLACED THE TIMING CHAI…

THERE WAS NO SIGNS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE ON THE CAR THAT I NOTICED WAS THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING A BIT SLUGGISH . I'VE REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL PUMP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 96,600 MILES. THE MECHANIC CAN'T GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER JUST THAT THE MOTOR SEIZED .
MY CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE AIR INTAKE COMES LOOSE. THIS IS HAPPENING CONSTANTLY. I HAVE NARROWLY ESCAPED 2 ACCIDENTS. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION BOTH TIMES. I NOW HAVE TO MAKE SURE THIS CONNECTION IS SECURE BY STOPPING EVERY FEW MILES OF DRIVING AND EACH TIME BEFORE I START OUT FOR THE DAY.
