2010 Nissan Murano

DRIVING NORTH ON THE I-15 FREEWAY, APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH (THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT), IN THE FAST LANE, IT WAS EVENING, DARK OUTSIDE, AROUND 7 PM. THERE WERE NO CURVES IN THE ROAD AT THAT TIME. ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY SUN ROOF GLASS EXPLODED WITH A HUGE BANG SOUND, EXTREMELY LOUD, AND IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS A LOT OF WIND NOISE. I HAD THE INTERIOR SUNROOF SCREEN CLOSED, THANK GOODNESS. OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE BEEN COVERED IN TEMPERED GLASS. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS I COULD, INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY A 2' X 1' HOLE IN THE CENTER OF MY FRONT SUNROOM. SHARDS OF GLASS WERE EVERYWHERE, AND THE INTERIOR NETTING WAS SHREDDED. I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME PLASTIC AND DUCT TAPE TO COVER THE WINDOW ENOUGH SO THAT I COULD GET HOME. IT WAS ALSO A WINDY DAY.

THE CAR IS LOSING POWER AT RANDOM TIMES THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL LURCH FORWARD AT FULL POWER. THIS HAS CAUSE ME TO ALMOST GET INTO NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. THE DEALER HAS ADI THAT SINCE THERE ISNT A CODE COMING UP THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING. IVE READ ON THE WEB THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THAT ITS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT THAT NISSAN WONT ISSUE A RECALL.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HI BUMPS IN THE ROAD, STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND WENT TO THE FLOOR, PUMPED BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY STOP. WENT TO SHOP, THE SHOP CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND SAID THE ABS WENT OUT BECAUSE THE ABS HAD NOT BEEN USED, THEY RESET THE COMPUTER NOW I HAVE BRAKES. THE SHOP TOOK CAR OUT AND LOCKED BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. WENT TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY CHECKED COMPUTER AND SAID THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES, NO RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COURTESY NISSAN (1777 N CENTRAL EXPY, RICHARDSON, TX 75080) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. *BF UPDATED 9/12/18*JB

THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IT STARTED WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR NOT UNLOCKING, ONLY ON OCCASION, WITH THE FOB. IT WAS A SLOW PROGRESSION BUT THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK IT EITHER. IT SLOWLY PROGRESSED THE EFFECT THE OTHER DOORS AS WELL. BEFORE WE KNEW IT, NO DOORS WILL UNLOCK WITH THE FOB OR THE UNLOCK BUTTONS. WE NOW HAVE TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND USE OUR HANDS TO UNLOCK THE OTHER DOORS.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED A LARGE POTHOLE A FEW YARDS FROM A STOP SIGN. UPON APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL "WENT TO THE FLOOR" AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN (VEHICLE SPEED WAS APPROX. 25 MPH). EVASIVE ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO NAVIGATE THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DRIVER LIMPED THE VEHICLE TO HIS HOME IN ORDER TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THE INDIVIDUAL WAS ABLE TO RESTORE THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO NORMAL BY HITTING THE ABS ACTUATOR AND CONTROL UNIT WITH A RUBBER MALLET.

MY MURANO WAS DRIVEN BY MY WIFE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN SUDDENLY THE SUV WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE THE STREET BLOCKING TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND RESTARTED BEFORE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAD SUV TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT CVT TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED. I HAS SERVICED TRANSMISSION FLUID 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE WITH 139,800 MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE NISSAN CVT{CONSTANT VARIABLE TRANSMISSION}, WE ARE NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE PROBLEMS. I MAY BE THE FIRST WITH A 2010 MURANO. I AM FEARFUL OF THIS VEHICLE AFTER IT $5000 REPAIR{OUT OF POCKET}, ESPECIALLY IF ON A BUSY INTERSTATE IN CHICAGO AREA DUE TO SUDDEN LOSE OF ACCELERATION.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO FAILED TO WORK WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY. THE BRAKES LOST PRESSURE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WAS SOFT. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, THE NHTSA IS ALREADY INVESTIGATING THE 2009 NISSAN MURANO FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKE IS DEFECTIVE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PART AS NISSAN NEEDS TO REPAIR IT AS IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART.
