2005 Nissan Murano: won't start

Filed Sep 6, 2019 · Acceleration, Airbags · 170,000 miles · TN

Back in april my murano would turn off whether I was accelerating or just sitting at a stop light, the brake light and battery light would come on and vehicle wouldnt start back up, ended up having it towed 3 different times to mechanic who couldnt figure out what was wrong because it wasnt showing any codes so from there had it towed to newton nissan where it took them 10 days to diagnose it was the alternator (replaced battery first but that didnt work)ended up getting the nissan alternator versus aftermarket for the warranty, get it back everything is fine, now in august alternator fails out again, back to newton nissan we go, the replace "alternator" and when I get it back power steering isnt working so after the fixed that everything was fine until it started shutting off on me again like the very first time. Meanwhile ive had to pay over $1000 for the alternator work which was recalled however my VIN didnt fall under the recall. Engine compartment and hood of car are also so hot you cant touch them even after just driving 1 mile in 70 degreee weather however the temperature gauge isnt running high. Now the airbag light is flashing on and off upon starting. I tried cycling the engine nurmerous times but the light is still on. Nissan said they will have to replace whole unit for $5000 because they cant pin point airbag issue. Airbag issue isnt fixed and nobody can tell me if I have a working air bag or not. Im not sure if I need to contact an attorney because im now concerned about the safety of my 4 year old daughter while in the vehicle.

While driving on the street or highway ABS light comes on then vehicle stalls and rolls at about 2 MPH and the car doesn't respond when I press the gas pedal. Usually the ABS light turns off then I can drive normally. The last time this happened the car turned off I had to push it out of the street and it wouldn't start up for a couple of hours, then the ABS light came on again and then it stalls with no response when pressing the gas pedal. This has happened over 10 times even after replacing the brakes and checking all the sensors, checking the battery and all of the connections and fluids.

Takata recall..I drove my 2005 nissan murano and I parked the nissan. 20 minutes later started to back the car and as soon as I put it on dr it went by 2 miles an hour so then I pressed on the gas all the way down and it still went to miles an hour it's still drove but it was going around 5 miles an hour. Then I parked the nissan and let it cool off and see what was wrong. I could not find nothing, I called my husband he could not find nothing either, he drove it around the block and it still went 5 miles an hour so then he checked the engine nothing was wrong but it did say ABS and then around 20 minutes later the nissan turn on and it went normal and nothing happened until 2 months later. The next time I was at a drive-thru and then all of a sudden the ABS turn on and it did not want to go fast it went again five miles an hour. Then I turn around the corner and then it went fast but then it went slow again so I park the nissan, and begin to start it and then it wouldn't start the ABS went on again, then the battery was dead. I finally got a jump and it turned back on like normal and it went normal until I got to the store and I left the nissan on with the air condition and had my son in the car. My son said that air conditioner keep going on and off on and off the windows were not working try to roll down the windows it wasn't working so then I got in the car and as soon as I put it in dry it didn't want to go it went 5 miles an hour then the ABS turned back on and then it went back to normal I was driving I made it all the way home and that is what's going on with a nissan murano.

I was driving my 2005 nissan murano on the highway when the battery light and brake light came on. Few minutes later it wouldn't accelerate then stalled out and wouldn't start. After getting a jump it started up but wouldn't move. I can get the alternator but I'm still having the problem. Don't know what else to do. I can't keep it running long enough to take it in to be checked. Please help fix this issue.

Both sun visors on my nissan murano started flopping vertically down. They do not stay up, nor tilted downwards against the windshield. As a result my view gets disturbed while startling me. Have checked with the dealer when getting another repair. They say that it costs $300-$500 each to replace them. No used sun visors are available in the after market as all sun visors tend to go bad. This is a 100% common safety issue with all murano's and very expensive replacement where this should not have happened. I am 51 years old and never experienced this with any cars I have ever had.

Recently, the sun visor on our 2005 nissan murano started falling down suddenly while driving. This happens frequently - every few hundred feet on a paved, bumpy road. Smooth interstate lanes do not affect, but hit 1 bump and you'll have the visor in your face. This visor obstructs the view of anyone taller than 5'4" immediately. This car only has 58,500 miles on it. I took it to the nissan dealer, he said they'd seen this before but nissan did not cover replacement, the nissan price for the driver's side only for this visor was quoted at $380.00. He suggested I try a salvage yard or ebay to find one cheaper. As I went on-line to investigate, I found forum after forum of people who have experienced this same issue. Response was mostly the same - no corrective measures were offered by nissan, many had replaced the visor - only to have the replacement fail as well. I felt this to be a manufacturing defect, so I filed a complaint on the nissan website. Today they told me they weren't offering any adjustment or compensation on resolving this issue. That's when I expressed my dissatisfaction and told them I would be filing a complaint with you. I believe this to be a legitimate safety concern due to immediate and almost total view obstruction when the visor falls. Even if the driver is short, it is an obvious distraction. Must someone have a tragic accident before a manufacturer steps up to do the right thing?

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. When the contact attempted to start the vehicle, it made a clicking sound underneath the hood. The vehicle would not start.
