What 2005 Nissan Murano owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle shutdown while driving in the middle of the road while using a new battery. Fuel pump not reading fuel tank. Vehicle stalls specially whenever acceleration starts after stopping.
The cadillac converters are junk and you guys oughta be ashamed of yourself for not recall and I'm on all the ones that they've all had problems with because there's been several and it's not a cheap fix just had one fix now the other 2 went out and I haven't even had the vehicle 30 days.
Several times while driving on city streets the car would shut down completely, with no warning had to get towed. While in drive-through car shut down but a delay then restarted. Bought new battery, alternator and got a tune-up. Currently the car will not go in backwards.
Air intake hose becomes lose causing car to stall in traffic and stop. Frequent jumpstarts necessary when it becomes loose.
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.
Fuel sensor says car is on empty but will never fill up past 1/2 tank. Alternator is out now & bad vibration when driving between 60-70mph so could possibly be u joint considering everything else has been done that would correct a vibration
Fuel line sputters, car lurches forward or completely stops.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that during routine maintenance with an independent mechanic, it was discovered that the fuel tank was leaking due to a failed seal. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 06v054000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 211,000.
Transmission suddenly seized and vehicle would not move, even when being pushed in neutral. Luckily it was in my parking lot but if this had happened in traffic or on the highway it could have been a dangerous and potentially deadly situation.
