2004 Nissan Murano

I'D LIKE TO START BY SAYING THIS IS MY 3RD OR 4TH COMPLAINT PERTAINING TO THE SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE YET TO GET A RESPONSE. CUSTOMERS HAVE THE OPTION TO LIST THEIR COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER NOT TO MENTION SAFETY ISSUE. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON THIS MATTER SHOULD BE OVER LOOKED BY NO MEANS. ONCE AGAIN AS I AM DRIVING WITH MY KIDS THIS IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH NISSAN, TRAFFIC IS FLOWING BUT HAVE STOP AND GO MOMENTS, SO AS I WAS AT A STOP MOMENT, THEN PROCEEDED TO GO, I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AS I NORMALLY DO, PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN, NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING HAPPENED MY CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL, INSTEAD IT LOSS POWER, THE RPMS INCREASED THAT'S ABOUT ALL. MIND YOU I'M ON THE EXPRESSWAY I-55 WITH MAJORITY OF THE VEHICLES ARE SEMI-TRUCKS THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING, NOT KNOWING WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR. ME AND MY KIDS LIFE ARE AT STAKE EACH AND EVERY TIME WE'RE IN THIS VEHICLE. NO ONE HAS REACHED OUT TO ME AND OTHER FAMILY'S I'M SURE, WHY? I DON'T KNOW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NO INDICATION THAT LOSS OF POWER IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, AND OR WILL HAPPEN. I SAVED UP AND SPENT MY HARD EARNED MONEY BUYING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I HEARD THAT THE NISSAN NAME/BRAND WAS GOOD, RELIABLE, ETC. NOT SURE IF I BELIEVE THAT NOW AFTER THE MANY ISSUES AND CONCERNS I HAVE WITH MY NISSAN MURANO. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A DECISION THAT OBVIOUSLY THERE NEED TO BE A RECALL ON THE POWERTRAIN DUE TO CVT FAILURE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE DECISION I MADE TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, TO THAT I DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM THE MAKER OF THIS VEHICLE. I'M HOPING THAT THIS MATTER GETS RESOLVED SOON BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. NO FATALITIES SHOULD COME OF THIS IF THE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DID NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPMS INCREASED, BUT DID NOT AFFECT THE POWER OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000....UPDATED 08/15/16 *BF *JS

WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MIND U A BIG TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME TRAFFIC IS STOP AND GO, AS I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT FROM MY VEHICLE, LIKE IT LOSS POWER, I THOUGH MAYBE THE GEAR WAS CHANGED, BUT THEN IT DAWNED ON ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOT ONCE OR TWICE, BUT IT'S BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I CONFIRMED THAT THE GEAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE, AS I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR MY VEHICLE JERKED AS IT PROCEEDED TO TAKE OFF (AS IF IT WAS IN TURBO BOOST), I COULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR (GOOD THING I DIDN'T). THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER MANY, MANY LIVES ARE AT STAKE. I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS MATTER HAVE NOT RAISED CORPORATE EYES AT NISSAN . THE REASON FOR THIS PAGE IS FOR CONSUMERS TO REPORT COMPLAINTS BUT IT SEEMS AS IF I'M NOT GETTING THE ANSWERING THAT'S NEEDED TO FIX THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND NOR ARE THE OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE LISTED THEIR COMPLAINTS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED AFTER PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES BY HAVING/CAUSING ACCIDENTS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS SCARY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I GET NERVOUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND OR THE EXPRESSWAY NOT KNOWING WHEN THIS FAULTY POWER TRAIN ISSUE WILL HAPPEN. GOOD THING THAT BIG TRUCK DIDN'T RUN INTO THE BACK OF ME THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO JEOPARDIZE THEIR LIVES AND OTHERS. NISSAN SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. HOW AND WHEN IS IT DETERMINED ON WHAT COMPLAINT GET ADDRESSED. DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMER. ALSO, THE ACTUATORS ON MY PASSENGER SIDE BOTH FRONT AND BACK DOES NOT WORK THEY HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY ALONG WITH THE HATCH IT DOESN'T SEEM TO LOCK EITHER. THE ACTUATORS SHOULD NOT GO OUT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.

WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF ACCELERATING MY VEHICLE FROM A STOP, I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE, I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS OUT OF GEAR FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT IT DID NOT RESPOND WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR; CLEARLY THAT WAS NOT THE CASE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN DRIVE. HOWEVER, I PUSHED ON IT AGAIN AN IT WAS BIG JERK BEFORE THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD.... THIS PROBLEM/ISSUE HAS BECOME VERY ANNOYING, BUT MOST OF ALL DANGEROUS AN ARE PEOPLE LIVES AT RISK AND JEOPARDY OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT'S VERY SCARY DRIVING MY VEHICLE NOT KNOWING IF THE VEHICLE WILL OR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AS IT SHOULD. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THIS MATTER BECOMES EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. IN ADDITION TO THAT WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE VERY LOUD, EACH AND EVERY TIME WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. I DO NOT LIKE PUTTING MY FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK WHEN THEY'RE RIDING ALONG WITH ME. THIS ISSUE MUST AND NEED TO BE ADDRESS ASAP. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THE FACT OF THE MATTER NISSAN AND OR THE NHTSA HAVE NOT RECALLED THE 2004 NISSAN MURANO TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS MATTER. LORD AND BEHOLD IT SHOULDN'T TAKE ANYONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE OR (LIVES) BEFORE THIS STALLING ISSUE IS CORRECTED. PEOPLE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE NISSAN IS KNOWN TO MAKE GOOD QUALITY VEHICLES AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION FOR SAFETY. I'M BEGINNING TO SECOND GUESS THE QUALITY OF NISSAN VEHICLES. MY KIDS ARE EVERYTHING TO ME, SO WITH KIND REGARDS CAN THIS MATTER BE TAKEN SERIOUS. ALL LIVES MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE JERKED BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V169000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

BOUGHT THE CAR USED AT ABOUT 110K IN DECEMBER 2015, HAD NO ISSUES AT ALL. FLASH FORWARD TO MAY 2ND 2016. AFTER SITTING IN START/STOP TRAFFIC FOR 20-30 MINUTES, THE TRAFFIC FINALLY STARTED TO FLOW, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND HAD A HORRIBLE, SHAKING, JERKING FROM THE VEHICLE. ABOUT 2 MILES LATER AFTER ARRIVING TO WORK AND TRYING TO TURN A CORNER AND APPLYING GAS AFTER THE CORNER, IT DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME THOUGH IT CAUSED ME TO CLIP A BUMPER AROUND A CONCRETE BARRIER, THEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE AT ALL. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I FOUND OUT THE CVT HAD WENT OUT. I GUESS I CAN BE GLAD IT WENT OUT IN A PARKING GARAGE, BECAUSE IF IT WENT OUT WHERE THE INITIAL HESITATION HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK. 7.3K CASH MONEY SPENT ON THE VEHICLE, BUYING OUTRIGHT FROM A DEALER, NOW WITH ME BEING ASKED TO SPEND ANOTHER 4.5K ON A PART THAT NISSAN HAD ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE AN ISSUE, BECAUSE THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 10 YEAR 120K WARRANTY. NEEDLESS TO SAY WITH ME BEING A FIRST TIME NISSAN BUYER AND BEING OUT THIS MUCH MONEY AND NO WAY TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER 4.5K, THIS WAS ALSO MY LAST NISSAN. PUT LESS THAN 2K ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. EVEN WORSE IS WHEN THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP (PART OF THE SAME COMPANY WHO SOLD ME THE CAR FROM THEIR USED LOT) IS TALKING ME OUT OF REPAIRING THE CAR, BECAUSE THE TRADE IN VALUE WOULD ONLY BE THE SAME PRICE AS THE PART.

I PURCHASED MY MURANO FROM A USED CAR DEALER 9 MONTHS AGO. UNTIL RECENTLY THE CAR WAS WORKING GREAT, HOWEVER RECENTLY, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING.. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND RESTARTING THE ACCELERATION ISSUE APPEARS TO BE SOLVED. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE ISSUE CONTINUED AFTER I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FOR A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND TURING IT BACK ON IT TAKES OF LIKE IT IS IN A DRAG RACE BUT SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY SOLVE THE ISSUE UNTIL YOU COME TO A STOP, THIS HAS BECOME A CONSTANT ROUTINE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP (AS IN TRAFFIC) IT FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. YOU CAN KEEP IT GOING BY KEEPING ONE FOOT ON THE GAS AND ONE ON THE BRAKE THEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE IN A DRAG RACE. I WAS INFORMED BY A NISSAN DEALER THAT THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING IS THE POWER TRAIN; THE COST OF WHICH TO REPLACE WILL BE UPWARDS OF $4000. AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE ISSUES I AM EXPERIENCING IS COMMON TO MURANOS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2003-2009 AND THAT NISSAN HAS STEADFASTLY REFUSED TO RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THESE FAULTY CVTS. THIS IS QUITE PERPLEXING AS MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS COSTLY REPAIR AND I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR. BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM AND A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE, NISSAN NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE CARS AND REPLACE THE PART THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM!
