Recently my 2007 Nissan Murano was dragging a little on slow speeds. I checked the wheels and found the driver's side rear brake had more brake dust then the other side. I pulled the wheels and found that the brake caliper was froze. I bought two "new" calipers and rotors and replaced them. I then used an Air driven suction device to replace all the fluid in the system and bleed the air out of the system. When I started it up the brake pedal was very spongy so I brought to the local tire Kingdom about 1/2 mile away and let them bleed it out. They stated that the master cylinder was now no good. I purchased a "new" master cylinder installed it, and re-bleed the system. The pedal was still dangerously spongy and low so on 06/14/202I the vehicle to the local Nissan dealer. After a few days they stated that the "ABS Brake Actuator" was not functioning. I questioned why the ABS warning light didn't come on and they didn't know. The dealer said the part was no longer available new so hey offered to get one from LKQ scrap yard for $780 and for $220 more it would be covered for a year. I looked into the issue and found that the 2009 Murano's were recalled for this issue, so I inquired what year was the part coming out of. They didn't know so I got one on my own from the exact same vehicle and brought to them to install. A few days later they stated that the new "Master Cylinder" was defective. I went back to Nappa Auto and bought another one and gave to them to install and re-bleed the system. My question is a vehicle with an ABS warning light a Brake System warning light and even just a Engine check light never came on, why not" The dealer has no answer for me and I am concerned that this will happen again and possibly at a higher rate of speed. Can you investigate this incident for me" Thank you for your time and consideration.

Takata recall multiple times the car while in motion wants to cut off or won't drive. I was driving and it wasn't wanting to drive. I pulled into a parking lot to my right. Then as I entered the parking lot the car turned off completely by itself and I couldn't use my breaks or steering wheel. I ended up running it into a curb to be able to come to a complete stop. I have read that there is a recall on 2005-2007 Nissan. I looked up my VIN number to see if there was a recall and it says there was not a recall on my vechile but other Nissan owners have been having the same problem. I have a baby and don't need my Nissan shutting off and causing an accident while I have my baby in the car.

Was concern about the seat it goes, up but leaks, down and, rocks like it is broke, the airbag light keeps flashing and wont stop, jumpy accelertion, and replacing front brake can be costly. I bought this vehicle and according to internet by VIN# printed out no recalls, shows now I see it had recalls what can I do to get this taken care of? driving down the road the seat felt like it was changing the height and I had to keep readjusting it, I then stopped and went to get out and it rocked. I weigh 100lbs so I could not have broken it.

It was a chilly winter afternoon and I had just pulled out of a business parking lot into traffic. The speed limit was 30mph and I was slowly getting up to speed. The traffic light changed to red and when I applied the brakes, nothing happened. It was like I was pressing against a solid wall. I had to swerve around cars, honking my horn as I couldn't stop. I managed to pull into another parking lot while repeatedly trying to apply the brakes. The brakes finally released after about 1 minute of pumping. This has happened approximately 10 more times since then. The dealer states that there is no issue with brakes and this is something they've never dealt with. It cannot be replicated once car has been running for more than 10 minutes.

  • 50,000 miles
I purchased my 2007 Murano in August 2011. From the date of purchase, I've had multiple issues. The brakes have been a constant issue, I've had to replace the front struts (before 60,000 miles) and was told that I need to replace the rear shocks as soon as possible, the driver side visor is broken, 2 months ago it began leaking oil for some unknown reason, and now the front seat is broken, causing the left hand side of the seat to 'float'. I weigh 140 lbs so it's not like I've caused any undue stress on the seat. The vehicle currently has 70,000 miles. I cannot afford to make all the repairs - but cannot sell it until I do make them (who in their right mind wants to purchase a car that needs $2500 poured into it for repairs, with new issues occurring on a regular basis). It's a shame that Nissan can produce something of such poor quality and not be forced to stand behind their product. This is the worst car I've ever owned. If I can ever get rid of this it I'll never own another Nissan.

Driving on the interstate. ABS lights, brake lights, and odometer stopped working. Smelled burning from under the hood. Took it to a Nissan dealership who determined that the fuse box was faulty, the ABS module went out as well as the ECM. Dealership said that my air bags were not functioning since the incident, and that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. When searching to find out what happened, found numerous incidents of Nissan vehicles having the same exact issue.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while reversing out of his residential garage and engaging the brakes, the pedal was abnormally depressed into the floorboard. The contact stated that he was unable to stop the vehicle and crashed against a tree. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who filed a report on the incident. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 70,600...updated 07/13/12 the consumer stated the brakes completely failed as he was backing out of the driveway into the circular end of a cul-de-sac on level ground. He applied the brakes several times while keeping the steering wheel hard to a hard right. When the brakes failed to respond, he turned off the ignition switch, while keeping his foot hard on the brake pedal. The vehicle completed an arc of about 120 degrees before it hit a tree at the end of his neighbors driveway and came to a complete stop. When he started the vehicle and moved it away from the tree, the brakes worked. Updated 07/31/12
