2015 Nissan Murano

Beginning 4/2025 undercarriage parts of the splash guard began breaking loose and flying off my vehicle while driving. 6/2025 the passenger wheel surround flew off while driving 60 MPH over a bridge, thank God there was no oncoming traffic. It caused damage to my tires however that I replaced. Over the last year more parts, including the drivers side wheel surround have come off while driving. I was able to go back to the roadside and pick up a piece that is roughly 26x26x7”. When I called EasternShore Nissan when this first happened I was told it is just a splash guard and no need for concerns. It doesn’t affect the drive ability of the vehicle. Now even the front bumper of my vehicle is loose and I fear it will fly off and the projectile will kill somebody. I’m very concerned for the many serious safety issues involved. I just spoke to Nissan whose first response is that my vehicle isn’t under warranty, which is an economic concern. My point is I did not purchase a Lego vehicle. Parts should not be flying off. I have nightmares from the last piece of wheel surround flying off 8/22/26 and praying that I wouldn’t wreck with my 11 year old in the car, that the cars behind me wouldn’t get hit, wouldn’t wreck trying to avoid it, and I wouldn’t have to buy another $500 worth of tires. I went back and was able to get one of the parts and a couple of days later got a photo of a long part on someone’s property. This needs investigation. It can’t be normal for a vehicle to fly apart. I live very rurally and honestly never considered contacting Nissan again after being told it wasn’t a concern. I went to a mechanic about repairs and he suggested I file a report first while he gets info on parts.

The transfer case on my Nissan Murano developed an oil leak. a leaking transfer case that is low or complete loss can cause overheating, internal damage or sudden failure of the transfer case while driving, resulting in a loss of power to the wheels, unexpected vehicle deceleration, loss of all-wheel drive capability increasing the risk of crash creating a safety hazard. no warnings from the car are giving that this is happening, so a sudden loss of control can happen at any time. service fee from Nissan accumulates to 4,000 for replacement or 2,000 for re-seal. there is a TSB regarding the sealing of the transfer case.

My transmission is on recall the CVT transmission is malfunctioning The transmission flutters and shudders loses power in slow motion when starting to pull off from lights or going up heels, there’s a slipping, feel to the transmission very unsafe to drive during wet, rainy days and snowy days some days absolute power loss this has been a problem since I purchased a vehicle in 2021 until current and it’s getting worse every day I was told about a Nissan Dealership this is just how the transmission shift. I know this information is incorrect because it’s very unsafe to drive.

Car began shaking on acceleration and low speeds and wouldn't stop shaking until approx 40mph or above. Upon braking to take a right hand turn car died, just stopped accelerating even though all lights on and running. No response at all when pushing pedal to the floor. Would go in reverse but only very low speed. Replaced alternator. Seemed ok but 4 months later same exact problem happened and car is not drivable again.

The CVT unit shutters, lurches, and slips out of gear ratios when acceleration. There is violent jerking when pondering at low speeds and it even causes the engine to stall when coming to a halt in drive mode. Nissan knows the problem and others have served Nissan with a Class action lawsuit to remediate the issue with the CVT unit. The check engine warning light illuminates when the issue arises. Nissan has not submitted a recall request.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ONE AROUND WHEN THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK PHOTOS. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED UP AND OUTWARD - NOT INDICATIVE OF AN OBJECT HITTING THE SUNROOF CAUSING IT TO EXPLODE. MY ONE YEAR OLD SON WAS ALSO IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME IT EXPLODED. LUCKILY, THE SHADE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE HE HAD TAKEN A NAP EARLIER THAT DAY. HOWEVER, IF THE SHADED WASN'T CLOSED, MY WIFE AND SON WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN GLASS. ALSO, THE EXPLOSION WAS SO LOUD AND STARTLING, SHE NEARLY WRECKED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT IT AND PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM BUT THEY ARE STILL REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT.
