THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON (THIS MEANS THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING AND THE EMERGENCY WARNING IS NOT WORKING; FURTHER YOU CANNOT USE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON). THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING OF OWNING THE CAR. THE DEALER TRIED MANY TIMES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, ALL UNSUCCESSFUL. NEXT THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSOR, AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW MINUTES- 5 TO 30 MINUTES AFTER STARTING.

NISSAN CAMPAIGN : PC482 ON 9/92016 TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HAVE ABS ACTUATOR CHECKED. IT WAS WITHIN RANGE FOR RECALL. PART WAS ORDERED. WEEK OF 9/192016, RECEIVED CALL FROM DEALER CENTRAL APPOINTMENTS (SHEEHY NISSAN WALDORF) TELLING ME PART WAS IN AND WAS GIVEN APPT ON 9/23/2016 TO HAVE ABS ACTUATOR REPLACED. ON 9/23, AT DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD NISSAN IS NOT REPLACING ABS ACTUATOR AS CALLED FOR IN CAMPAIGN UNLESS IT HAS LEAKED AND ABS LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS A PART NON-CONFORMANCE ISSUE. WHEN SEAL ALLOWS LEAK, IT DRIPS ON CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH WILL CAUSE A FIRE. REMEDY IS TO PARK VEHICLE, CALL FOR TOW AND GET RENTAL. THIS IS UNSAFE AND REMAINS SO. NISSAN RECALL STATES "YOUR NISSAN DEALER WILL INSPECT THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE ABS ACTUATOR, AND IF IT IS WITHIN THE AFFECTED RANGE, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE ABS ACTUATOR WITH A NEW ABS ACTUATOR AT NO COST." MY ACTUATOR IS WITHIN AFFECTED RANGE AND NISSAN IS NOT COMPLYING WITH THEIR OWN RECALL REMEDY.

15V364000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:control Unit/module

Jun 10, 2015

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Murano vehicles manufactured December 4, 2014, to March 17, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) actuators which may have contamination in the solenoid valves, potentially affecting the valves' ability to completely close and allow a build up of hydraulic brake pressure, or fully open and allow the hydraulic brake pressure to completely drop.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Under some driving conditions, when the ABS is activated, the malfunctioning ABS actuator could cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ABS actuator, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 13, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
