2005 Nissan Murano: check engine light

Filed Jul 11, 2019 · Engine · GA

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.

Just bought the vehicle in january of 2016 thinking it would be a good used car. I was wrong it has 155,000 miles on it. Today I was driving home from work was stop at stoplight went to take off and it stalled and the check engine light came on, I was able to finally move it form the road and it wouldn't go above 5 MPH, so I turned it off then back on it started to drive fine I didn't take any chances had it towed to a friends repair shop were checked the codes and it was all for the transmission. This could have caused a huge wreck as the road I was on is extremely busy. This very unsafe for nissan not to do anything about.

I had a check engine light and an airbag light appear on my dash. While driving on the beltway the ABS light came on and my car slowed down and wouldn't tee pond to the gas pedal. After about 2 minutes it kicked back in so I took it to get a diagnostic from a nissan dealer the next morning. They told me everything was fine according to the computer there were a lot of codes that popped up but they told me they weren't happening anymore. I asked of they checked all of the wires they told me yes. So I took my vehicle and later that night while driving back from lunch break the ABS light came on again and the murano slowed down as before only this time it cut completely off. It only held a jump for about 5 blocks before it cut off again. I had it towed back to the dealer the next morning and they told me they can't check anything unless I purchase a new battery so I bought a new battery and they put it in and told me everything was fine again it just needed a new battery. They told me everything was reading fine but in my opinion that was because it was feeding off the juice of a new battery. About 2 hours after leaving the dealer the same thing happen again with a new battery while I was driving. The ABS light came on the car slowed down this time the meters went crazy then it cut off. Only by the grace of god that no one was injured with my car cutting off while I'm driving. I called the dealer and they were not willing to do anything different and they told me my VIN number is not under a recall. I called nissan consumer affairs after a week of waiting and unreturned calls I finally talked to a regional manager from tennessee by the name of [xxx] only because I got transferred to him and all he told me was nissan will not help you out financially. He didn't discuss the issue or offer solutions and showed no concern for safety only money even though I never asked for it.

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.

When driving my nissan murano especially on hot days/in stop & go traffic, the vehicle fails to respond to the depression of the accelerator. When it happens (~1x/week), the vehicle will be at a complete stop & not begin to accelerate after depressing the accelerator until around 3k rpms. The problem is resolved by cycling the vehicle off then on, given that the driving conditions don't remain in the form which appeared to initiate the incident. In one instance (and only once), the vehicle was left running, with the A/C on while I made a quick run into a convienence store. After backing out of the parking space without a problem, the vehicle exhibited it's slight hesitation while in drive, but then lurched forward at ~3k rpms, and acquired the desired speed and manuevers. After waiting at the light just outside of the parking lot, the vehicle would not respond to the depression of the accelerator in the form of movement. That is, the engine would rev to as much as 5k rpms, but not move more the .5-1mph. The usual cycling of the engine off & then on, would not resolve the problem. The next destination was nearby (1mi.) & downhill, so I was able to coast, in neutral, to that location whilst being honked at & nearly rear-ended by oncoming traffic. After the vehicle had sat at that location for ~3hrs, there were no other problems of the like. It is worth mentioning the hesitation problem was not experienced for the remainder of the day. However, it wasn't too long before the original problem returned. No check engine light, no other mechanical issues I have noticed. No correlations other than that of temperature and/or stop and go traffic. Another important note is that those correlations are not dependent upon each other; the problem can/does occur in the absence of either. However, it is typically not seen without at least one of those factors present.
