2015 Nissan Murano

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS OIL LEAKING FROM ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER JEFF SCHMITT NISSAN LOCATED AT 725 ALPHA RD, BEAVERCREEK, OH 45434 WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES LATER. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

PURCHASED THE 2015 MURANO WITH 2200 MILES FROM OLYMPIA NISSAN IN OLYMPIA, WA. DID NOT GET THE EXTRA WARRANTY BECAUSE WE TRUSTED NISSAN AND THE CAR WAS BASICALLY NEW. ABOUT TWO YEARS AFTER PURCHASING IT, WE COULD FEEL A SLIGHT HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW TO HIGHER SPEEDS. IT HAPPENED MORE WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS BUT ALSO HAPPENED PERIODICALLY ON THE FREEWAY. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE GAS HE WAS USING. THE MISSING CONTINUED AND GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. HE TOOK HIS CAR IN TO NISSAN FOR ALL HIS OIL CHANGES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THEY SUGGESTED. HE MENTIONED THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THIS WAS BROUGHT UP DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I STARTED DRIVING THE CAR RECENTLY AFTER MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY AND IT WAS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THE PROBLEM HAD GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR AND HAD THE EJECTORS CLEANED AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. GOODYEAR OFFERED TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN TO BE CHECKED ON THEIR COMPUTER. THEY DETERMINED I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS FIVE YEARS OLD WITH 75,000 MILES! AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION. I AM ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED. I HAVE A CAR I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED THROUGH A RECALL OR AN EXTENSION OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. IT'S TIME FOR THE ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN FAITHFULLY FOR OIL CHANGES AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAME UP. THEY NEVER ONCE MENTIONED A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V807000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT SOMERSWORTH NISSAN (285 NH-108, SOMERSWORTH, NH 03878, (603) 692-5200) AND WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VEHICLE INFREQUENTLY SURGES WHEN INITIALLY PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND PULLING UP BEHIND VEHICLES AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN TRYING TO PARK IN A TIGHT SPOT. SURGE WHEN TRYING TO EASE FORWARD CAUSED VEHICLE TO RUN ONTO STONE WALL. NOT AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING AN PERSONAL INJURY BUT POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. UNRELIABLE ACCELERATION IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE. A SECOND OCCASION WAS IN TRAFFIC AFTER MERGING OFF A FREEWAY. SEVERAL CARS WERE WAITING AT STOP SIGN. AS EACH PULLED OUT WE ALL EASED UP. WHEN I TRIED TO EASE UP IT SURGED ON ME AND ALMOST PUT ME INTO REAR OF CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

FOR THE SECOND TIME MY FRONT COLLISION BRAKING SYSTEM SENSOR HAS COME ON AND DISENGAGED MY CRUISE CONTROL WHILE I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP HAS CONFIRMED THIS CODE WHEN TAKEN INTO SHOP. THIS COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO BRAKE SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED OVER $1200.00 TO FIX. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON MANY OCCASIONS. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THIS FAULTY SENSOR.

THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AS PROMISED. I DO HAVE TO ADD THOUGH THAT SHORTLY AFTER HAVING PICKED THE CAR UP, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING WARNING LIGHT STARTED TO GO OFF OCCASIONALLY AFTER NORMALLY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THEN THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AT RANDOM TIMES WITHOUT HAVING APPLIED THE BRAKES. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A COINCIDENT THAT THIS HAPPENED. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS SUSPECT THOUGH AS I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT AND THE SYSTEM PRIOR TO BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR THE ABS MODULE RECALL. I STILL FEEL THAT SOMETHING WAS TWEAKED OR THE SYSTEM'S FAILURE WAS EXACERBATED BY HAVING HAD WORK PERFORMED ON IT, DESPITE THE ABS MODULE BEING LOCATED ON THE FIREWALL AND THE AEB SENSOR LOCATED IN THE FRONT GRILL. I ALSO HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET THAT 2015,2016,2017 AND 2018 MODEL YEAR ROGUES,ROGUE SPORT, MURANOS, ALTIMAS, MAXIMAS, LEAFS, SENTRAS, ARMADA'S AND PATHFINDERS HAVE ALL BEEN IMPACTED BY AEB ISSUES. THE MOST DANGEROUS, WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES INTO AEB MODE FOR NO REASON AND APPLIES THE BRAKES. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN PROCESS NOW AND SOME TSB'S THAT YOU HAVE ISSUED FOR FIXES. I HAVE OWNED OR OWN 4 NISSANS SINCE 2010...A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA WHICH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED BY A 2019 NISSAN SENTRA AND MY 2015 MURANO WHICH REPLACED MY 2011 INFINIT G7XS. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR SERVICE ISSUES WITH ANY OF THEM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THIS MOST RECENT $1006.62 REPAIR WHICH THE DEALER SAID WOULD NOT BE COVERED AS IT WAS INCIDENTAL TO THE RECALL REPAIR. I FEEL THE ONUS IS ON NISSAN TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS REPAIR AS THERE IS ENDLESS PROOF ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS FEATURE HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR THE ABOVE VEHICLES IT WAS INSTALLED ON. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO HOW YOU INTEND TO HANDLE MY ISSUE. THANK YOU, [XXX] EMAIL [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING AND IN TURN DEACTIVATES THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE LAST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN CLEAR WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH AN 18-WHEELER FOLLOWING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CODE SHOWED THAT THE DISTANCE SENSOR 'MUST BE REPLACED' BECAUSE IT WAS OUT-OF-DATE. WHEN I ASKED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE CAR TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT, THEY REFUSED. I HAVE DEALT WITH FOUR PEOPLE AT THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY THE $1400 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY FACTORY ORIGINAL PART. ALSO NOTE, I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TWO TIMES IN 9 MONTHS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THOSE WERE COVERED UNDER THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY. I AM BEGINNING TO SUSPECT I HAVE A LEMON.
