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.
The car continuously cuts off the brake light and battery light are on we have replaced alternator twice, once remanufactured second time brand new. Also replaced with battery thats when the lights came on before that it would occasionally have a hard time starting.
My intake hose keeps coming off the resonator, like completely. My car will lose power immediately whether I'm driving on a hwy at 70 mph or stopped at a light. I lose power steering and its difficult for me to press down on the breaks. I'm very luck I was in the position to be able to pull off the hwy safely. I have to tighten the bracket tight enough to make it home. A lot of times I'm unable to tighten it good enough and it will come off again. Most recent incident happened on 3/2/2020 at a traffic light. This has been happening for the better part of a year and a half. Very scary to go through.
While driving the vehicle it may randomly stall causing the motor to shut down while the car is in use making it very unsafe. Also random over heating and stalling I've changed both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor also the radiator and the thermostat nothing fixes it. There was a recall on my vehicle but I need to be put on the list I was left out.
Recently my wife had been informing me of a problem on our 2007 Nissan Murano was unstable when being driven, and makes loud clunking noises when turning and reversing at low speed. I drove the SUV myself on December 2nd, and while turning a corner at a major intersection it went over a small bump or manhole cover. At that time the rear end of the car fishtailed, and I nearly lost control of the vehicle. The rest of the drive home the vehicle felt unstable while driving at approximately 35 mph on a dry, smooth, and straight road. Upon arriving home, about 1 mile from where the incident happened I noticed the driver side rear wheel was cambered inwards about 10-15 degrees. I contacted my mechanic by phone, and he told me to not drive the car and have it towed to his independent repair shop for an inspection. When he lifted the vehicle off the ground he discovered the problem. He sent me the attached picture, and said the vehicle's subframe has 'extreme' rust which is unusual for only being 12 years old, and that it is 'not safe to drive'. additionally I have read many articles of other Nissan vehicles having problems with corrosion underneath the vehicle for states that use road salt in the winter. Currently there is a repair campaign going on with Nissan Altima corrosion issues, and I am concerned many other Murano have the same problem as mine. I have also contacted Nissan, and opened a safety concern with them. The reference number is 38078953 Nissan says there are no recalls or campaigns with this 2007 Nissan Murano for corrosion.
I was driving and randomly lost power. No powersteering, no acceleration, no brakes, all of the lights on the dash turned on like the engine shut off, and the key was turned back to electrical (while in the middle of driving, I'm 100% sure the car turned off without the ignition key switching to off). This has happened about 5 times now. The code P0345 activated shortly after the second time it happened. It has happened when decelerating/braking, accelerating, and coasting, low and high speeds. I know there are other reports of this with Muranos on the internet and apparently happens to a few other Nissan. This started in early June, when the temperatures are above mid 80's.
I was riding on the highway and almost got hit a couple of times. My car just stalled an shut down. It is a hazard cause myself and my kids could have gotten killed. I have a new serpentine belt, battery is good an alternator is good. My car was driving then all of a sudden it just stalled.
The sun visor flop down at random when driving, taking away visibility. This is extremely unsafe. I removed them one day after this almost caused an accident. Now, I have to deal with blinding light from the sun, not sure which is worse.
I have seen numerous Muranos with the frames rusted completely through. Needs to be investigate and Nissan should correct this. They're asking so much for vehicals.
I was told that the rear of the car couldn't be aligned.. after looking for myself discovered that the subframe was totally rotted. The car cannot be driven and I am screwed. This should be fixed by Nissan. This is not a small defect. This can kill people. The car is structurally unsafe and god only knows how long it has been like that.
Takata recall: We bought our Nissan Murano (2007) 16 months ago. It has barely 100K miles on it and the engine is burning oil constantly. My husband is adding oil to it every other day. Plus the transmission is rattling constantly when pressing the gas and the car has stalled at least 5 times since we've had it, one time almost causing an accident. We have young kids and this is our family car and I do not feel safe driving it.
I was driving my car in the middle of traffic when I pushed on the gas and the vehicle wasn't moving anymore. The battery and brake light both came on. After a couple of minutes I was able to move my car to the side of the road by pushing on the gas. But the car wasn't moving fast. After a couple of minutes evrething came back to normal. My vehicle is in the mechanic shop right now and my mechanic told me the alternator is going bad. I will be replacing the alternator.
First it was the passenger side floors and then the driver side floors - front and rear - there is a substantial amount of water getting into the car. I had it looked at by the dealer and they assumed it was the sunroof - cleared the line. Issue still went on. I did not know at first because the water got trapped under the rugs. I took it to another shop and they cleared the sunroof lines. I had it detailed and then put my rugs back down. This time I believe there was resulting mold in my car and is causing severe allergy issues for myself and my son.
Sun visa keep falling down. It is very dangerous. Every mile it drops down at least 10 times. I have to tape it. Also it can not keep in the up location when I use it to block sun. It should be a recall since it is very dangerous and so many people report this problem.
Visors will not stay up in storage. Expensive replacement but not safe. Visor will suddenly drop obstructing drivers view of the road. This happens both on driver and passenger visors but driver is worse. Completely obscures view of road and it is unpredictable when it will happen. No way to tighten or fix. No promise that replacement won't have same problem.
