Filed Oct 27, 2018 · Electrical · 160,473 miles · NH

Incident 1: turned my car on and let it warm up to operating temperature, started driving, speed limit went from 25 , 35 , 45 . Once I was coasting around 45 MPH my vehicle lost power completely while in motion, locking my steering wheel. Came to a stop in the middle of the road and car would not turn over. Engine light code p0335 was read from my fixd app. Replaced sensor and all was fine for about 10 days. Incident 2: driving down a road going 30 MPH up a hill my car again, lost power and steering wheel locked while in motion, brakes were very stiff and I was almost unable to stop my vehicle from rolling down the hill backwards. Checked my code reader and again, code p0335 was the issue again. Replaced another crankshaft position sensor. Incident 3: was stationary at a busy city intersection when my 2006 nissan murano again, lost power and would not start. My VIN number is not on the list of recalls but I feel as though it needs to be. There are other makes/models of nissan that were recalled for this extreme safety issue.

While driving my kids to school this morning, I lost all acceleration in the middle of a busy road unable to move, drive anything. I turned the car on and off to try to move the car from the middle of the road, I could only reverse. When in drive I its as if it were in neutral. The battery, brake light and check engine light all came on at once. They were not on prior to this happening. Clearly this is some sort of malfunction with in nissan. I read multiple people having the same issues as me and I plan to make this known. If I had been on the highway when this happened with my kids in the car we would all be dead this is a serious issues and it needs to be addressed clearly there is some sort of and issues where nissan has a recall or something.

The gas gage will show full when I fill the tank yet 50 miles of driving and it starts to show empty and then go up to 3/4 tank and then empty again the low fuel light and servce engine light comes on and I am never sure how much fuel or mileage I am getting from a tank of gas. I changed the fuel pump about a year ago thinking this would solve the problem I get code po463 when checked with scanner. The car has 132, 000 miles on it and this problem is ongoing. My son ran out of gas in the middle of an intersection when it quit. No way to be sure of how much fuel and on a trip to nc from fla I am afraid of this car running out on the highway with me an old disabled woman alone. I have read many peoples accounts online that this is an ongoing issue and it is surely a safety hazard.. It will say the tank is empty and when I put gas in it only takes 5 gal or it will read full and run out of gas.

During my drive while exiting off the highway. The vehicle jumped/sped up on its own as if I accelerated. Felt like a transmission slip. While approaching my exit, car just died out. I was able to steer off and put on my emergency hazard flashers. I tried to start the car, and it just cranked. I waited approx. Ten minutes and I was able to continue slowly until the car died out again. Experienced some hesitation along the drive home and with no warning, just a check engine light illuminating, the car died again.

Fuel gauge started to failed and check engine light turned on. I took the vehicle to the dealer and quoted for replace the two failing fuel sending units $100 to inspect + $700/$800 part & labor. Of course is not covered by nissan. How many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? I am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. After reading complaints about air bag warning lights, drivers seat collapsing, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, check engine light coming on due to fuel gauge failure, wiper motor/transmission going out. My nissan murano has all these problems and more. I cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. The fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. Nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. We love teh car but it should hole together better than this. Theres are not items caused by high millage jut plain poor designs. Seats breaking - no way, visors falling down - no way, fuel gauge failure - no way, air bag warning light - no way, wiper motor/transmission - no way - please help us!!!!

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) 2006 nissan murano s awd VIN # [xxx]. The check engine light came on at the end of march 2010. I scheduled my car to be looked at in the beginning of april. Prior to the appt, I noticed a major discrepancy between the 2 fuel instrument gauges. Whenever fuel would be down to around a quarter of a tank of gas, one or both of the gauges/electronic display would show any where from 1/2 a tank of fuel to completely empty. After bringing the car in for service in april, I was informed that my factory warranty had run out, and that my after market warranty purchased from that dealership, didn't cover the repair needed. I was advised that my check engine light and fuel gauge/electronic display was due to a defective 'fuel sender'(fuel level sending unit). I was told that the sensor(s) needed to be replaced and that with parts and labor, the estimated repair cost would be $450. After researching the problem myself, I found that nissan is having many problems with this same issue in other models the same model year, 2006. I contacted nissan and found that no recalls on this issue are being taken at this time. I feel that given the large-scale recall (540,000 vehicles mostly in the us) in place for several other models, same year, same problem, it stands to reason that my model should be included in this recall. I have not as of yet run out of fuel on the roadway but that is mainly due to constantly keeping the tank at least half full to ensure the safety of my family. I have not yet repaired the vehicle at my expense in hopes that the federal safety agency will make nissan extend its recall, as it should.
