2007 Nissan Murano

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DON FRANKLIN LEXINGTON NISSAN (859-263-5020, LOCATED AT 3360 RICHMOND RD, LEXINGTON, KY 40509) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR CRADLE ASSEMBLY WAS RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS AT THE POINT OF BREAKING INTO TWO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO OTHER PART OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 144,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY; THEREFORE, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. *JS *BF *TR

MY CAR IS TOTALLY JUST CRAP! I'VE REPLACED COIL PACKS, ALTERNATOR, MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, BATTERY, HUB ASSEMBLIES, CATALIC CONVERTER, AND A LOT MORE AND IT STILL HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS! I BELIEVE IT HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BECAUSE MY RADIO GETS A LOUD STATIC. IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS A HARD TIME ACCELERATING. THEN STARTS SHAKING REAL BAD AT ABOUT 20-40MPH, THEN DOES FINE ABOVE 60MPH???

MY NISSAN STARTS TO JERK FROM FIRST GEAR OR WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND START TO ACCELERATE IT MAKES A HARD JERK LIKE DOWNSHIFTING ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND RELEASING CLUTCH TOO FAST. I RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PUBLIC FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE ON SENSORS GOING BAD TO CVT FLUID CHANGE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY TOOK IT APART COMPLETELY SAID HAD TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER. SO THIS WILL BE A $1000 REPAIR AND I HOPE THIS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

DRIVING ON A SLICK HIGHWAY THE REAREND OF THE MURANO WAS FISHTAILING. THE REAR SUSPENSION WAS MAKING NOISES, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SUDDENLY WAY OFF CENTER. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO INSPECT. IT WAS NOTED THE THE REAR SWAYBAR HAD SEPARATED FROM THE REAR CROSSMEMBER /SUBFRAME AND THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED AND CRACKED AND RUSTED THROUGH TO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND WAS TOLD TO IMMEDIATELY STOP DRIVING IT. THE REAR WHEELS WERE TILTED OUTWARD AND A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. SUBFRAME NEAR TOTAL SEPARATION FROM VEHICLE. MURANO IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS. COST TO REPAIR TOO EXTENSIVE.

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.
