Nissan murano 2007: faulty fuel level sensor, fuel gauge does not register avcurate level of fuel in tank, safety concern is not being able to know how much gas is in the car which can lead to breaking down anywhere without any warning. Engine light on (service engine soon warning light), incorrect fuel level reading. Power steering fluid constantly needing to be filled which constantly makes under the hood smoke whenever driven. Please advise if there is a recall. Thank you.

While driving on freeway (in middle of nowhere)car started jerking/shaking/vibrating & clunking/banging sound, felt like driving over millions of nails. Car could barely drive at 40 MPH in slow lane w/hazards until I could get to safety an hour away. Car cannot go above 5 MPH to get it home. Rpm going wacky no power when step on gas but engine revs. Engine light on steady then flashes when car gets going at only 5 MPH (cannot go faster) but I finally got the car home & I was safe. Now car can't be driven & must be towed to a garage. Car has oil leak & I replaced the oil pan along with faulty alternator which killed battery just 2 months ago. Bought car used 2/1/20. Has 110,000 miles now. Engine hot/smells hot but temp gauge doesn't reflect that. I was nearly killed on freeway by passing tractor trailers & traffic having to speed by me recklessly when it happened to avoid collision-no warning. Very dangerous & scary. I see there are nearly 600 other cases exactly like this!!! Single mom with 2 kids in car - very dangerous. This should be recalled. It sounds by reading complaints that it's the transfer case?

While operating my vehicle on 6/27/2020 after 1hr of driving the car steering wheel would not turn almost causing an accident. I had to stop the car put in it park, turn the car off and then back on. When I tried to turn the car on and it hesitated then turn over. I then proceeded to turn the corner and the check engine light came on. This is the 2nd time this has happened and when I took car to car shop. The code was p0340, cam shaft position. I replace the cam shaft after this happened the first time. Now this has happened again, almost causing me to have an accident.

I brought my car to reed nissan to be diagnosed because the check engine light was on. They diagnosed the car and said that a few things needed fixing and when fix the light will be gone. I paid to fix the car and when I was driving home the check egine light came back. I called back and spoke to my servuce advisor who told me to bring back the car to be re diagnosed. The finding was another problem that apparently didnt show up because of how long the car took to be fix. I agree to replaced what they quote me the price for but instead I got the opposite. They replaced what they wanted to and disnt replace everything they agreed to replace but I still had tonpay all the money that was agreed on eventhough I didnt get all the work done that was suppose to be done. Today my car radiator blew and they say they are not responsible for it a week aftwr I fix my car with them. There was also a crack in my engine cover and a screw missing to keep it tight. My radiator cover screws were also missing. I apod my money and didnt get the job that they told me I was supposed to get. Whrn I spoke to the manager they give me all these stories and were not taking any blames for anything. The tech who worked on my car said he didnt broke my engine cover and that the screw was missing so he left it the same way. As a technician you work on someone car engine and did not replace the screw and broke my cover and lied about it and of course nissan backs him eventhough he was wring and was lying. The manager walked away without even saying a word to us about what was going to be the outcome and when I approach him about this matter he pretend as if he wasnt being rude by saying he saw we were already being taken care of my the tech and service manager so he excused himself. This is how they operate at reed nissan. They are reed nissan on west colonial drive in orlando florida. Nasty.

I was driving down hwy 100 in milwaukee at approximately 40 MPH when the car suddenly died in the middle of the road, fortunately no accident was caused because of the sudden stop. The car would not start after this stop. I pushed the car into a nearby parking lot and took the battery into a local hardware store. The battery was dead and needed to be charged. I re installed the battery and got the car started (the engine sounded loud) and drove to the auto store and had the alternator tested - it was dead. I started to drive the car home and it would not go above 30 MPH and the cel was on. The next morning I had the alternator replaced (sunday), the battery kept it's charge. I took the vehicle to the nissan dealer on monday morning - they determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. I got my car back after 2 weeks and drove it home. I did notice that the there was a slight whine - I thought it was with the replaced transmission. I got louder each dayand I took it back to the nissan dealer, but the noise would quit after it warmed up. The nissan dealer determined that it was the high pressure power steering hose. These events appeared to be caused by a previous event - (1) alternator (2) transmission (3) high pressure power steering hose, all started november 27 2014, and lastly ended on february 10, 2015, hopefully.
