Alternator went out this is the third one. I looked up the recalls on my car and there happened to be one on the alternator and I-€™ve reached out to Nissan dealership of Bakersfield and havnt received a response
My vehicle has been named in 4 recalls but my VIN number isn't included in any of them when I take it into the Nissan dealership even though every recall that has been reported is what has been either a recurring issue with my vehicle or something that has been starting to show some symptoms.
Whether I'm driving 70 mph on the interstate or 20 down the street the car will randomly shut off and come to a complete stop and make whining noise until it comes to a complete stop. I have to shut the car off and turn it back

My check engine light came on a few weeks ago saying cylinder five is miss firing. I replaced everything that I could and cylinders are still misfiring. It's causing my car to jerk and when I'm at a complete stop and start to go it takes my car a minute or so to start going. And also when I put my car into sports mode it does not shift
The car will stutter at random even if filled with a full tank. Smell of burning and check engine light comes on. Car starts to violently shake. This is horrible as I drive with my toddler. I have been now reading this is common and I'm lucky I have not had an accent by my car stalling
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Murano. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 09V169000 (engine and engine cooling) by Nissan of dearborn (24501 Michigan ave, dearborn, mi 48124, (313) 749-3200); however, the failure recurred one day later.

While driving my car completely shut off I was going straight. The car will not start, all dashboard lights come on when key is turn, constant flashing red with a car symbol with key in the middle.. car will not make a sound.
Stalls: This vehicle was recalled for stalls and the problem never went away, (not sure if the repairs was really done). The stalls are becoming worse!!!! problem: When the vehicle is driven for more than 15 minutes and it comes to a complete stop, (at traffic light, in city or anywhere) the vehicle sporadicly stall when the accelerator is pressed. If the road has a slight incline the stall is more eminent, so that the vehicle won't move even when the accelerator is pressed to the floor. The only two things that remedy the situation is: A) place the vehicle in reverse [very dangerous->city driving], B) turn the engine off then restart the vehicle [also very dangerous]. this problem has been ongoing since 2007 but it is getting worse.
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Murano. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. On multiple occasions, the engine would not start. The vehicle was taken to davis moore Nissan (7576 East kellogg, wichita, ks), to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 99,000. Consumer stated Nissan is not able to diagnose problems with fuel pumps. On 05-24-19, a mega fuse was blown which led to a faulty fuel pump. That part was replaced and to date, we have not had this problem of vehicle stalling!

Same problem of a recall campaign of a throttle valve issue has happened three times in the last two months; engine does not respond with an accelerator in stop & go conditions. It was/is resolved by turning off ig and re-start.
My 2004 Nissan Murano stalls when driving and sitting still. When driving my car responds as if it is not recognizing me pushing the gas and then after a few seconds it jumps to get going. Likes its catching up to the speed amount I pressed when pushing the gas. When I am sitting still my car does not move in it stalls in any direction (moving forward or backward) for a few seconds then jerks when its ready. This mostly occurs when driving on city streets, highways, turning or stationary. Whenever the car is started. The NHTSA campaign id number is 09V169000 this report explains my issues with my car exactly.
When taking off from a complete stop or trying to acclerate the revs to 3000 RPM and not gain any speed, you have push and let off the accelerator several times just to maintain any kind of forward momentum the car can muster. I dont know why the car will not gain any speed. This could be a real safety issue on a busy roadway.I have read many other post about similiar issue like mine and it sounds like the cvt are very unreliable and Nissan should do the right thing for us car owners, the car only has 91000 miles on it and this issue should not be ocurring in so many vehicles. Their should be something done about this issue to help the owners out. Nissan knows that there cvt transmission are very faulty and will not hold up....
I was driving Nissan Murano on a city street. The "check engine soon" light came on. I stopped and parked. Then it had hard time to start. I kept holding igniting and started the car. Then I drove to Goodyear car service. They told me to replace crank sensor.
