Vehicle shut-off without warning while driving on the roads and freeway. Had to immediately put neutral restart engine several times. Took it to the dealership in bellevue ne and they only replaced the duct vent tube from the air filter. I had mentioned that it has a code on odb2 scanner cam sensor and they don't have a recall for it. Please need a safe car for me and my family.

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?

The engine struggles to start on a nissan murano 2005. The mechanic claims the crank engine sensor is at fault. The nissan dealer said the part is made of plastic and known to wear out. Nissan has fixed the problem for newer cars by changing the material that is used. If nissan is aware this problem exists, shouldn't this be a recall? The mechanic warned me the engine could fail while driving. Users on online forums have indicated having the car fail while driving whether it's at high speeds or on local roads.
The heat does not come on, even after the engine temperature has reached full operational temperature.

I've been having problems with this car every month since I bought it in 2011 from arrow motors inc, 2225 wakeling st phila pa 19137. The never disclose to me of the issues. If they ran a car fax I would have know. It wasn't until recently when I attempted to sell the car and was informed through car fax that it was in 5 accidents. If I had known this I would have never bought the car. This is completely unjust.
My vehicle caught fire as I proceeded to pull away from a curbside parking space. I turned my wheel to the far left as I proceeded away from the curb and that is when I heard a pop sound, saw white smoke spewing from the front right side of the vehicle, then I saw the flames. Five days prior to the incident, I had front brake pads and resurfaced rotors placed on the vehicle. Within the past 30 days the only other maintenance performed on the vehicle was a standard oil change.
My nissan murano 2005 SUV has been stopping in motion while driving again, and this has happened more then 7 times in the past 2 months. But this time it happened on the 405 fwy with my children. The vehicle slowed down on the freeway and I had to find the right shoulder lane in call aaa. I checked the recalls on the internet for this car and there was recalls back in 2005 when I bought the vehicle and I didn't receive a notices in the mail. I've called the nissan hotline with no replies and emailed the company too; I was emailed back that there was a recall on the second row seat belts. This car is totally unsafe; plus vehicle has five recalls such as gas tank, set belt, engine and engine cooling, transmission, and alternator. I looked at the forum for the nissan murano in it seems like the same problem with the 2003-2005 models.
All of my locks no longer work. I have seen countless complaints about this very issue and nothing is getting done about it. I thought nissan was suppose to be one of the best out there. I'll never buy another nissan again if they continue not to assist their customers. I also have the air intake issue, thankfully that was recalled and will be fixed. I had to replace the front struts, oil cooler gasket, front sway bar links and the battery has been changed 3 times now. Very disappointed with nissan and so embarrassed to even talk about the issues with this car. :(
I started hearing a rattle when under acceleration and could never find the culprit. It started jingling like change in someone pocket so I looked again and notice a piece of the idler pulley bracket going in circles around the adjustment screw. I looked up online only to yet another under designed part by nissan. This part failing can cause serious damage and even wrecks if not fixed immediately.
My car just stopped working in the middle of the traffic and would not go forward or backward. I got it towed to good year - my car had catastrophic transmission failure. Was diagnosed at goodyear and they called nissan to see about the parts and found out that it was covered by manufacture warranty - so I had it towed on a flat bed truck to nissan in denver. Goodyear had drained the fluids to take it apart during diagnosis and sent the parts and the car on the tow truck to the go nissan shop. They found a number of other problems with the car at the nissan shop which they said were not covered - such as- cam shaft sensors,drive belts,head gasket. I agreed to pay for those items and to get my transmission replaced for free under the warranty. They said it would take three to five days to get the transmission from the factory. I get a call today from go nissan on june 19th about a week after they agreed to fix it and they now say that there seems to have been some purple fluid in the transmission and now they wont replace it or cover it in any way. That makes no sense to me because it was delivered there with no fluid in the transmission at all. They said, ya, well.. We saw some purple substance in the cup with the parts that were delivered and we will not cover it because of that contamination... Im at my witts end here, they want $4000.00 for the transmission and another $2,500.00 for the rest of the work. I don't know what to do. I feel like they took advantage of me and are now trying to get out of the warranty. Thanks for your help.
I was going around the vehicle in front of me and I heard a lock snapping sound. I was informed it was the transfer case. Luckily I was only traveling 5 MPH when the transfer case broke.
Our car is starting the surging thing and acts like it is going to turn off then zooms off. I never realized the CVT cause so many people issues. The cowards at nissan not stepping forward are going to realize real quick they should have been loyal to their customers! I along with a lot of other folks will not be going back to nissan!
Coolant was leaking on driveway, found that the tensioner bracket is cracked and is rubbing up against a coolant hose, causing a breach in hose and leakage. The dealership is quoting me over $500 to replace the tensioner bracket and associated pulley and "screw". I called nissan corporate asking them to either fix for free or discount the service. They said its not their responsibility. I see alot of this exact component failure reported online, I hope nissan ponies up someday.
2005 nissan murano taken in to nissan of gastonia on 4/27/10 to have the air intake recall corrected. Mileage is about 52,000 miles. On 4/29/10, my check engine light came on and immediately had trouble with delayed starting. Code p0345 camshaft position sensor a bank 2 circuit malfunction. Called dealership and made appointment for their next available date 5/4/10 and took it in to be looked at. Service manager felt quite certain that they had left something unplugged. He came back to me 1 hour later to advise that I needed a new camshaft position sensor. It cost me $247 to replace the sensor. Too many issues with this sensor on line on nissan recalls for this not to be a safety concern on the 05 muranos' too.
Nissan murano 2005 - loose motor support.
2005 nissan murano - 66k miles. Alternator tension arm snapped off while driving, also causing a crack in the timing cover. There had been a squeaking noise in the days leading up the failure. Once the arm broke there was a very loud clunking noise. I was forced to pull over on the side of the road and wait for a tow. The tension arm, bracket, belts and timing cover need to be replaced. Because the timing covers placement, it will require pulling the engine out.
My 2005 nissan murano has an engine that "pings" even when using 91 octane fuel. This can lead to engine wear and damage. Nissan is aware of the problem, but at this time, they are choosing not to correct it in any of the murano vehicles that have this problem. The problem is a constant "ping" upon acceleration, most noticeable between 10 and 30 miles per hour, or at higher speeds when attempting to quickly increase speed.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. Since april of 2009, the vehicle has been losing power while driving 55 MPH. The speed has decreased to 5 MPH on three occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times, but they could not diagnose the failure with the computer system/engine. The contact is concerned that a crash could occur. The failure mileage was 38,000.
I have a murano where the air intake keeps coming loose and won't stay therefore making the car stall on the interstate while trying to pick up speed. It's been fixed once but it still keeps happening. I can't pull into traffic for the fear the car will cut off.
Lifter link assembly broke on my 2005 nissan murano. Took the car in for servicing and when I picked it up the seat was broken. The dealership fixed it because it was covered under my extended warranty. Still had to pay the $50.00 deductible, because there was no recall. I understand that I am not the only one who has experienced this problem.
