2007 Nissan Murano: brake failure

Filed Jul 15, 2019 · Engine · 156,300 miles · UT

I was driving and randomly lost power. No powersteering, no acceleration, no brakes, all of the lights on the dash turned on like the engine shut off, and the key was turned back to electrical (while in the middle of driving, I'm 100% sure the car turned off without the ignition key switching to off). This has happened about 5 times now. The code p0345 activated shortly after the second time it happened. It has happened when decelerating/braking, accelerating, and coasting, low and high speeds. I know there are other reports of this with muranos on the internet and apparently happens to a few other nissans. This started in early june, when the temperatures are above mid 80's.

The car was parked and it did not start at all.. Happened twice in one month. Had to be towed, took it to the shop and they didnot find anything wrong because the car was working ok. And this also can happened when I was driving my car. The car stop working no lights no brakes nothing was working. Took it to the shop and the same thing. The car was working again. Also I received a letter from nissan saying that there is a problem with a part that doesnot let you fill up your gas tank and they said that they have extended the warranty for this part but they cannot replaced it until you have this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. The contact stated that while reversing out of his residential garage and engaging the brakes, the pedal was abnormally depressed into the floorboard. The contact stated that he was unable to stop the vehicle and crashed against a tree. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who filed a report on the incident. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 70,600...updated 07/13/12 *bf the consumer stated the brakes completely failed as he was backing out of the driveway into the circular end of a cul-de-sac on level ground. He applied the brakes several times while keeping the steering wheel hard to a hard right. When the brakes failed to respond, he turned off the ignition switch, while keeping his foot hard on the brake pedal. The vehicle completed an arc of about 120 degrees before it hit a tree at the end of his neighbors driveway and came to a complete stop. When he started the vehicle and moved it away from the tree, the brakes worked. Updated 07/31/12

Brakes on our 2007 nissan murano, with over 7000 miles, still squeal excessively in reverse. We are concerned with eventual damage to pads and/or rotors and subsequent brake failure. At the dealer for a scheduled service visit, service manager recently claimer "all cars have same brake noise" and "all brake pads are the same", and "there is nothing wrong and the brake noises are normal."

I have a 2007 nissan murano that we purchase a few months ago. When the vehicle is in reverse and the brake pedal is applied, there is a horrible squeaking/whistling/grinding noise that occurs. I have taken the car to the dealer 4 times and they consistently state they are working on a solution but nissan does not know what is really wrong with them and only offer a suggestive change in brake pads and using a special grease to lessen the noise for a few days. They eventually changed out the rotors on the last trip a couple weeks ago and told us the problem nissan states is there was a change in the "nissan brake pads" and there is to much metallic in the pads now which is causing the noise. Since that visit, we have taken the vehicle to another repair shop and had and "after-market brake pad" placed on the car since nissan states is was only a problem with their make of brake pad. We very quickly learned this was not true! The noise and grinding is worse. It has even become noticeable anytime you apply the brakes and the brakes do not feel like they are grabbing correctly. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and do not think we should have to pay $40k for a car and not have security with the braking system. I think the dealers should replace the vehicles before someone gets hurt or killed due to the brake failure.
