- What is wrong
- Nissan is recalling 362,891 my 2003-2007 murano vehicles. 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.

While driving on the highway my car was doing 2 RPM even when I pressed my gas pedtal down to the floor it wouldn't rev up which olny cause the car the car to do 10mph onced it reached 15mph it just shut off as I was drving on the highway thank god it was kind of late so I was able to steer my car on the shoulder I waited a good 10 to 15 minutes then it started back up still having rough idle problems the next day took it to the shop and trouble shooting codes popped up regarding both o2 sensors being replaced, I fixed the problem then a month later my car started jerking as I drive took it back to my mechanic the crankshaft sensor went bad so I ended up replacing that senor as well which now my car only reaches a maxium of 55mph I don't drive my car on the highway due to my car still having idle issues and now I notice my car burns oil really fast and my oli light indicator don't pop up on the dash board like it suppose to the only way I know my car needs oil now is when I hear like a fan noise coming from under the hood, nissan you guys really need to take this car off the market as I have read im not the only driver having this issue with this svu its rasing safety concerns their are 960 complaints!!! I use my car to get back and fourth to work, take my daughter to school and I have no money to buy a new car please fix this problem!!!! Its not right to keep this car on the market.
I recently bought this vehicle and I'll be driving and my engine will stall like it's going to die and then the light comes on that says slip and vdc off I believe it is saying that this recall was incomplete on this vehicle can you please replythe vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it is happening every time I drive the vehicle
I was driving down the city road and it just felt like the car shut off and no longer got gas almost like an alternator would do I could put it in park and there would still be power you could hear the engine again I would put it back in drive or even tried a low gear no gears was making my car move but it would make sound in parkthe battery light and brake light then came on and my car died shortly after completely already workwhile studying your recalls I noticed the make and model of my car had certain recalls with the alternator of faulty wire in it when I try to report this they told me it was the wrong batch but it's funny my car is doing the same thing do to my car doing this you can no longer move your vehicle so it is dangerous it stops you right in the middle of the road you cannot gas it to go your website mentions a failsafe mode that it may have fell into
Takata recall, I changed all thee coil packs, alternator, starter, batteries, oil change on time but the check engine light would never go off. The car has stalled on me several times almost causing accidents (several times). My car would smoke sooo bad when I stop and that was because the motor kept dumping oil in 5he throttle. I am afraid to drive this car because it may catch on fire due to the extreme oil leak.
Takayuki engine malfunctions while in motion engines light blinking
Takara recall : while the car is in motion the engine will shut off at random. When the engine shuts off the car is pulled along the side of the road, and will start again. This has happened on multiple, almost causing serious crashes.
Last week was almost in an accident when my car completely turned off while waiting at a light at night. I was almost hit several times. Last year I had the alternator replaced. This time I had the cam shift sensors replaced. Guess what? It happened all over again in one week. People are going to die. My vehicle lost its ability to even have its hazard buttons on. My vehicle is under no recall. How can this company get away with this? Can they at least tell us what is wrong, so that we can fix it?
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving 50 MPH, the vehicle decelerated and stalled with the brake warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The dealer (freehold nissan, 4041 u.s. 9 n, freehold, nj 07728, (732)-984-9080) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The contact was advised to call the federal safety agency and file a complaint. The failure mileage was 149,000.
I was driving my car and the engine acted like it was going to stall and wouldn't respond by giving it gas. Then it just lurched forward abrubtly and began to run normally. Then after about 2 more blocks while we're going 45 MPH it completely stalled out in the middle lane of a 3 lane road. This caused the car behind me to almost rearend us but the cars behind them actually did get into a crash trying to stop from hitting them. Thankfully a police car was a few cars back and was able to put their lights on and push my car out of traffic because we couldn't even get out of the car with cars whizzing past us on both sides. Thank god or we could've been involved in a multiple car crash and one of us could have gotten hurt. This happened on 07/13/18. I paid about $600 to replace the alternator and fix something in the cooling system. Now it is only a month later, 08/15/18, and it's done it again. It stalled in the middle of a construction zone driving 35mph while taking my child to school causing traffic to back up. The cars were driving through the construction cones/signs to our right illegally or they were driving down the shared turn lane on our left to get around me. About 200 cars drove past us without bothering to offer help and even after calling 911 for help, it took them almost an hour to show up and once again had to push us off the road to safety. This is creating a huge safety concern. I saw recall 09v169000 for similar or same issue for my model/year but when I look up my VIN it says I have no recalls. I had spent almost $1300 about 3-4 yrs ago to fix this very same "stalling while driving" issue and thought I was past all this. Now I'm back to square 1 and issue still exists! Why is this nissan murano flaw not covered for all murano's with this problem? Pease research my VIN# and see if it can be included in the recall before one of us gets seriously hurt?
