Got service engine soon error code on monitor with temporary loss of power on the road on 2005 nissan murano (54000 miles). Looking at internet I found that this is consistent problem for this car just like other nissan cars of this period (xterra, pathfinder). This is related to fuel sensor error with p0463 code which is unusual for any cars. Estimated cost of repair is about $600 to $ 800. I think nissan should recall or at least partially compensate owners. I was also asked to replace power steering high pressure hose a few years ago that costs about $ 1000/=. All these are safety issues as it can stop car on road at any time. I request and encourage others to inform the federal safety agency and nissan if such problem arises.

This complaint relates to a closed recall for the 2005 nissan murano the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v3190. Two months with the vehicle and I had transmission problems, where the vehicle lost power and drive-ability, bringing my passengers and myself to a harms way. I contracted aamco to replace the transmission, one month later, nissan USA had to provide another transmission to replace the one changed one month before. Last monday, july 06, 2015, while driving on the new jersey garden state parkway, the vehicle presented serious trouble, when the emergency brake, awd and ABS warning lights came on, as the vehicle lost speed, transmission disengaged, putting my wife, myself and other vehicles around us in serious risk of accident. I managed to pull the vehicle to the shoulder and later to a near by friend`s house in the galloway area. After contacting nissan USA regarding the transmission, they told me to contact aamco, since they installed the new transmission. Aamco checked the vehicle and found out that, the problem was caused by the alternator that heated up, dropped voltage to 12v dc and caused the safe mode to engage, by making the vehicle unsafe on the middle of the highway. Nissan USA claims that this the federal safety agency campaign has been closed, when it is to my believe that, it should be re-opened and not only me, but also many other nissan murano owners, that still confront such factory defective issues to have this issue resolved. I was lucky to be able to act fast enough and bring my vehicle to safes way, would all others be so lucky?

On the date listed, while entering traffic flow from a parking lot, my 2005 nissan murano suddenly lost power and enter the "fail safe" (limp home) mode where the vehicle had no acceleration. This was a sudden failure and there had been nor were there any indications of any developing problems with the vehicle. The only warning light was the mil and the physical loss of power. There was no accident, but the failure could have resulted in a t-bone collision since the oncoming traffic was approaching at 50 MPH and there was virtually no right hand emergency pull-off area on the roadway to safely place the vehicle outside travel lanes. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for under warranty repair. This repair took less than an hour and the cause of the problem was describe to me as a dirty or loose electrical ground to the ECM.
