This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
On 2/23/14, I notice there was what appeared to be oil leaking from my truck. I took it to the dealer on 2/26/14, it was the it was the pressure holes leaking which have caused other problems. Rack and pinion (R) side, replace fuel sender two parts. September of 2013, I had to have both right and left control arm repair. This should be a recall and the customer should not have the responsibility of expense.
This vehicle is only four years old with only 84000 miles, while driving I heard a loud sound coming from under the vehicle. I took the vehicle in to five towns Nissan they told me that I have a big problem, my transfer case is not good. The transfer case, seal-oil and seal- oil ring would be $2750.82. Labor and tax would be bring it to $4074.33. Now we all know owners of this very cute vehicle that it has a factory defect and we need more people like myself to come forth so the would have no choice but to recall these vehicles.
Faliure of coolant reserve tank. Noticed a leak under the car and at first it could not be traced. But on the last oil change a crack on the edge of the coolant tank was noticed. Dealership had this part readily available in stock, which leads me to believe that they are aware that there is a design flaw on this tank. The tank was not damaged or showing any signs of where and tear. The position of the crack leads me to conclude a design flaw.
Seal on Nissan Murano 2007 with 77,000 miles malfunctioned/exploded causing oil to leak damaging the transfer case. Both my mechanic and the service area of the dealership mentioned that they had not seen anything like this. Dealership came back with a quote of about $4,500; car is not under warranty. I told them not to service it at this time; that was unacceptable and should not happen on a 3 year car despite the mileage; Nissan guarantees 100,000. I took my case to the cooperate office in Tennessee where they set up file. Valerie, the regional specialist contacted me within about a week and explained that since it was no longer under warranty they would not offer any assistance with the cost. I explained that whether it was under warranty or not was not the issue; the problem is that Nissan has know about this for quite some time and decided not to do anything about it; I.e. recall the car. Valerie was extremely rude and unprofessional and quite belligerent. As I tried to get a manager she would not cooperate. I have retained a lawyer and I am also considering filing under the lemon law. Nissan knew about the problem; has no concern of the safety of their vehicle and/or the consumer. I would appreciate it if you would research. There are a number of complaints that I have already found related to the transfer case. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. While driving at 50 mph, the service engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle immediately stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the failure was diagnosed as a defective crankshaft position sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer advised that the crank shaft sensor repairs would be covered under factory warranty. The contact was awaiting repairs. The failure and current mileages were 50,000.
