My concerns are there any recalls including safety on my 2005 murano the vehicles check engine light,week later at various times while in park and running the car will shut off the air bag warning icon, at various times the vehicle would slow while driving and not respond to gas pedal also the ABS warning light appeared at times the windows roll down on their own while vehicle is off I have not taken the vehicle for repairs.
Airbag light on dash went off.
In 2013 I had to have my driver seat bracket welded due to it breaking. My airbag lights flash continuously since about 2006 and I was told that it would be a few thousand dollars to replace the sensor, also my check engine light comes on and then goes off. When I took it in they said it could be several things from catalytic converter to an exhaust issue and that it would be trial and error to figure out which would remy the problem. Not to mention my driver side visor wont stay up and my alternator keeps draining my battery so I have to replace yearly. Someone please help.
The airbag light started to flash and would keep flashing until you shut the car off. We took the murano to our local mechanic. He put it on his computer system and it was diagnosed with "diagnostic module was faulty". It would cost $800 for just the part and 2 1/2 hours of labor for a total of $1093. I contacted nissan consumer affairs if there were any recalls for this particular problem. They informed me that there were none at the time and we would have to take the murano to an authorized nissan dealer for the diagnosis. We did take it to an authorized nissan dealer an hour and half away. After a $73 charge, they told us the exact same thing! I then contacted nissan again and they told me that they couldn't help us with the cost of the repair. I would understand if it was something that we didn't do for maintenance, but it wasn't our fault that it is defective. I asked them if there was going to be a recall for this problem and they said not at this time. They had also informed me if we would have it fixed and there would be a recall, they would reimburse us for the cost of replacement. I asked them if they could send me a documentation so I would have proof that they would do that but I haven't see anything from them. You would think that nissan would try to recall proactively before there is a negative back lash on their company. It seems that carmakers overall are becoming more proactive in their recalls, pulling vehicles back and replacing parts to address consumer's safety concerns, even though they may not be officially required to do so. I was hoping that maybe you could help us with our problem. It's just alot of money to pay for something that they can't guarantee won't fix the problem. According to the internet, people have these fixed and have to have them fixed again. Thanks so much for your time!
Approximately 2 weeks ago due to no fault of our own as we were driving our air bag light came on. We took our vehicle to the nissan dealership in our area. They told us our air bag control monitor was bad and our air bags will not deploy in an accident. Upon ordering the part we were told the part is on backorder. They also told us that we have to pay to have this repaired at our own expense. The service manager proceeded to tell my wife and I that the part is only warranted for 3 years when the car was new. Now it was our issue since we bought the car used.

It seems that I have all of the well known problems with the nissan murano. I got the air bag light that won't turn off which to me is a major safety and very dangerous issue. I heard that in case of an accident the air bags and seat belts won't work. Nissan needs to address this problem asap before someone or multiple people lose their life because of their lack of responsibility. Another problem I have is none of door actuators work including the rear hatch door except for the driver's side door that door is the only door that unlocks and locks which I also think it's another safety issue. I also have the bad power steering rack which I mentioned a lot is a safety issue. The steering has so much play that its difficult to drive I wish nissan would step up to the plate and admit that these should be repaired because of their bad engineering with these trucks.
This is the second time the driver's seat bracket has broken. The first time, we shamed the local nissan dealer to fix it, but this was only temporary as the seat has just broken again. We contacted nissan but they said we are on our own. Air bag light is supposedly linked to this issue as well. Also contacted nissan about this and escalated all the way to north american hq to no avail. It appears that nissan would rather take their chances on law suits than have their customers safely drive their products. After purchasing at least 10 nissan products over the past 30 years I will never purchase another. Forever is a long time.
Airbag light flashing, both front door locks quit working at the same time along with the hatch lock that gets stuck, now the sun visor on drivers side is falling down.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds over a bump, the sun visor would fall down without assistance. The sun visor would remain in an upward position when secured with velcro straps. In addition, the passenger side air bag sensor would not function. While dispensing fuel the automatic nozzle clicked off continuously. There was a recall under the federal safety agency campaign id number 06v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The VIN was not included in the recall. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Airbag light flashing. Airbag module determined to be bad. Over $1000 to replace. I see where this is a common problem. Dealer said airbag will not deploy in event of crash..
Drivers side air bag light stays on. I have taken this car in to approximately 16 times to 7 different dealerships in four different states. They said they replaced different parts each time but within four to six weeks the airbag light comes on again. The last dealership I took it to in columbia tn said that nissan had told them to replace the front wiring harness but they refused to do it. They said it would take them too long and did not want to do it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated while driving at speeds of 55 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated. The dealer advised the vehicle was not under any recall and that the contact would have to pay out of pocket for any repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, while sitting in the driver's seat, the seat broke. The seat was repaired accordingly. The failure mileage was 98,000 and the current mileage was 111,000.
After purchasing a 05 nissan murano, a month later the airbag light started to flash. Took it to the dealer and the airbag module was replaced and system was reset. In late 06 the airbag light start flashing again, the dealer reset the system, worked fine until oct of 08 at this point my extended warranty has ended. They reset the system and pulled the code from the unit. I was then told that the spiral cable aka clockspring cable is faulty that is the reason why the airbag light turns on at random times. I was quoted a little over $2000 for the repairs and was told there is nothing that can be done since my extended warranty has ended ask to talk to a manager and was told the same thing. Also on the way home from the dealer that day the airbag light came on again, when I called them I was given the instructions on how to reset the airbag light. I ask the if the airbag system will work if there is an accident and was told they cant guarantee it will but it should if the system is reset and the light is not on. From that day to now I have to reset the system at least once every 2 weeks. The other issue that I've had is with the transmission seals leaking with causes the oil level to get low and makes it loud and increases the RPM while driving. I had the seal replaced 3 times, once under original warranty, once with extended warranty and just recently had to pay for repairs. And again asked to talk to a service manager about this since its the same part being replaced 3 times, and was told there is nothing that can be done since there is no extended warranty.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. Whenever the contact drives the vehicle he noticed that the airbag light would appear on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact had the airbag module, crash zone sensor, and wiring replaced, however months after the service the same failure had reoccured. The contact has noticed the failure since the day he purchased the vehicle, the current and failure mileages were 42224.
Srs restraint system indicator came on in 4th quarter 2009 and was referred to fitzgerald auto in chambersburg pa. No resolution was determined and dealer reset fault indicator . Recent 1st quarter 2010: indicator came on again and have set another appointment with same nissan dealer .
2005 nissan murano with 31,000 miles. The airbag light was flashing and it was taken to the dealership, where I was told it was the airbag sensor module and it would have to be replaced. I was told without replacing it my airbags would not work and this was not covered under any warranty. I had to pay over $1000 or have no airbags to protect my wife and child. Looking on the internet I see this is a common problem, it looks like nissan should be required to fix this since it is a safety issue.
We own a 2005 nissan murano - the driver's door and passenger door on the driver's side will not unlock with the remote or the switch - they require a manual unlock - this seems to be a common problem with these vehicles from my research online - I feel it is a safety issue that nissan should repair at no charge to the consumer. Also, the airbag light stays on - we have had this checked, and it continues to be on - this is also another safety issue. Our vehicle is in perfect condition otherwise. We have less than 60,000 miles on the car.
