2007 Nissan Murano

MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME THE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS I MOVE THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT. THEN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL SHUT OFF AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED FOR THE RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MANY MURANO'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. GERALD NISSAN IN NORTH AURORA, ILLINOIS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOSH NISSAN (LOCATED AT 525 BOSTON PROVIDENCE HWY, NORWOOD MA, 02062 (844) 464-3554), BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESET, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

2007 NISSAN MURANOS WERE PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL INVOLVING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. NISSAN STATES MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL, HOWEVER, IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. AT THIS TIME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT PUTING PASSENGERS AT RISK FOR INGURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH. THE VIN NUMBER SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE ASAP SO PASSANGERS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT AT RISK. THANK YOU! THE CONSUMER REQUESTED AN UPDATE. *JS

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MURANO THAT I BOUGHT USED 1.5 YEARS AGO. THERE ARE TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT THE CAR HAS AND FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS HAD TO RECALL THOUSANDS OF OTHER VEHICLES. I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IT'S JUST TOO COINCIDENTAL AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. RECALL NUMBER 09V169000 RECALL DATE 05/19/2009 COMPONENT ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE RESONATOR IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE, MAY SEPARATE FROM THE RESONATOR WITH ENGINE MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION OCCURS DUE TO THE PREMATURE AGING OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE SHRINKING. RECALL NUMBER 08V521000 RECALL DATE 10/07/2008 COMPONENT AIR BAGS SUMMARY NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU). CONSEQUENCE THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
