16 reportsI began hearing a rattling sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. I believed it was possibly the suspension, as the vehicle would also bounce more often than expected when going over any irregularities in the road (potholes, speed bumps, normal wear on roads, etc).

I began hearing a rattling sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. I believed it was possibly the suspension, as the vehicle would also bounce more often than expected when going over any irregularities in the road (potholes, speed bumps, normal wear on roads, etc). I brought it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle, and they found no issues. I had previously replaced all 4 tires and brakes before hearing this sound, and nothing was brought to my attention then, either. The noise continued, and I brought the vehicle to another mechanic, where the damage was found immediately. The frame had corroded to the point where the mechanic advised me to not even drive home, rather have the vehicle towed to the dealership to be assessed and checked for a recall. Multiple incidents similar to mine have been found - all starting after 100k miles - but none have resulted in an official recall notice.
While driving 70+ mph on a federal highway at night, I heard a loud explosion noise followed by glass raining into my vehicle cabin. (The shade was open.) We quickly closed the shade which caused a few more shards of glass to fall into the car. The noise caused by air vibrating the sunroof shade was nearly deafening but we were…

While driving 70+ mph on a federal highway at night, I heard a loud explosion noise followed by glass raining into my vehicle cabin. (The shade was open.) We quickly closed the shade which caused a few more shards of glass to fall into the car. The noise caused by air vibrating the sunroof shade was nearly deafening but we were two hours drive away from home and decided to continue driving praying that no one would toss a cigarette butt or anything similar out of their car where it might land on our now-exposed roof. It wasn’t until we were able to exit to a gas station that we could see the extent of the damage and take photos.

DASHBOARD IS SPLITTING IN 6 PLACES ACROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE AND IS VERY STICKY AND PLIABLE WITH A RESIDUE LEACHING OUT FROM THE MATERIAL WHICH IS WET AND SHINNY. EVERYTHING STICKS AND IT PUTS A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING YOUR VISION AT TIMES. VEHICLE HAS 105,738 MILES AND IS GARAGED. MY RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN NISSAN MURANOS REACH 10 YEARS OLD AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND ISSUED A RECALL TO REPLACE THE DASH.
VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER STEPPER MOTOR FAILED IN THE TRANSMISSION. RAN AT 4000 RPM BEFORE NOT ACCELERATING.
WHILE DRIVING ON A PRIMARY ROAD AT APPROX. 50 MPH, MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. IT SOUNDED AS IF A GUN WAS FIRED NEXT TO MY EAR.
JUST BOUGHT 2010 NISSAN MURANO FROM INDIVIDUAL. AFTER SITTING COUPLE DAYS DOESN'T CRANK. STARTS IMMEDIATELY UPON HOOKING JUMPER CABLES. BATTERY CHECKED OUT GOOD. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?
CLOCK WILL NOT SET TO THE CORRECT TIME. I FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS HOW TO RESET BUT WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF IT GO BACK TO THE OLD TIME.
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILS TO STAY IN A DESIRED POSITION. IT WILL TYPICALLY MIGRATE WITH BUMPS IN THE ROAD, AND CAN MOVE DOWN EVEN WHEN STOWED. THE SUN VISOR CONSTANTLY FALLS DOWN. AS YOU'RE DRIVING ARBITRARILY, IT WILL JUST DROP AND OBSTRUCT YOUR VISION.
THE 2010 NISSAN MURANO IS DIEING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, AND HIGHWAYS WITHOUT WARNING. IT REQUIRES A JUMP TO START BACK UP THEN IT WILL START RUNNING AGAIN. THIS IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. REPLACED THE BATTERY ALREADY WITH NO I…
