WE HAD OUR 2015 NISSAN MURANO AT A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF A SAFETY FACTORY RECALL ORDERED BY NISSAN. THE RECALL WAS FOR REPLACEMENT OF AN ABS ACCELERATOR. THE NISSAN CERTIFIED TECH INDICATED TO ME, WHEN LOOSENING THE STRUT BOLTS TO GET TO THE ABS ACCELERATOR THEY SNAPPED AND NOW THE STRUTS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $700. I NOW HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE STRUT BOLTS AND AN ABS ACCELERATOR THAT NEEDS REPLACED UNLESS I COME UP WITH $700. THE STRUT BOLTS POSSIBLY WOULD OF NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE IF NISSAN HADN'T A RECALL FOR THEIR UNSAFE ABS ACCELERATOR. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH MY ISSUE.

THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAR STALLS OR IMMEDIATELY SHUTS DOWN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS DONE. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO HAVE MY CRANK SHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR CHANGED; I PAID AND HAD IT REPLACED AND STILL I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO KINGS NISSAN AT CONEY ISLAND BROOKLYN 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT'S STILL THERE AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THEY'LL HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR APART TO FIGURE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM AND THAT'LL COST ME ABOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR LABOR, NOT INCLUSIVE OF ANY PARTS THAT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY PROBLEM HERE IS THAT NISSAN CANNOT DETERMINE THE ISSUE AND IS HAVING ME PAY FOR PARTS WHILE THEY CHANGE PARTS BY ASSUMING WHAT THEY ISSUE MIGHT BE, SINCE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REAL ISSUE. MY BIGGEST REGRET IS PURCHASING A NISSAN VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS BARELY 30,000 MILES AND IT'S COSTING ME TIME AND MONEY.

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

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.
