My murano suddenly would not accelerate and the ABS and brake lights illuminated. The same exact description of the original recall for the alternator. I had to tow to dealer and luckily I still was under extended warranty so it was mostly covered. Called nissan this morning and they informed me that the recall was already performed for my vehicle in september of 2006. Obviously they didn't learn from their original mistake. They should be doing repair again for free and paying for the battery that got fried in the process.
1) loss of acceleration and blinking dash lights (vdc on/off, ABS, battery) and strange noise through stereo 2) smell of electrical components at high heat 3) smoke in cabin, smoke from under hood.
I own a nissan murano 2004 automobile. Since oct. 6 2004 I have had a battery & brake light come on & off. On oct. 9 within the morning time frame the battery, brake, ABS and airbag light came on right before I stopped at a stop sign. Once I came to a complete stop I pressed on the gas pedal and the car engine revved up but the murano went no where. I shut off the car and turned it back on and the car did not want to start at all. I tried boosting it and the murano did turn on but the car did not go anywhere. I did send it the nearest dealership and nissan of jersey city, n.j. Did fix my problem in a very quick manner. It seemed to be a alternator problem. They have replaced my alternator with an updated version. *nm pe04077_cat
