I have been having problems with my car smoking once I start driving. I have to consistently add motor oil and it smokes more. My mechanic tells me he ran two diagnostic tests and nothings coming up. Then my daughter and granddaughter were on rt 130 in pennsauken nj my SUV just stalled and wouldn't let me give it gas. Then it just jumped into gear. It did it twice while cars were speeding by trying to avoid rear ending me. My heart felt like it fell into my seat. I had to put my hazard lights on until I could find a spot to pull in.it happened again the next day. Right now is not the time for this to happen. I have transport my motherto her heart doctor appointments. However I too scared to drive.
2007 Nissan Murano engine complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 71, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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?
My murano has been stalling to pick up speed have replaced over $1500 in parts. But still cant locate the problem, at the mechanic shop they said it could be the solenoid sensor but they dont know if it could be it.when driving on highway sometimes it will not pick up speed and will only drive 30 to 40 MPH. Other times while driving on highway it will stay at 60mph and will not go over. The engine looks a bit shifted as well I don't know what could have caused it. And it makes a really ugly loud squick that we have been trying to fix but don't know if it could be because of engine shift.no accidents issue has been going on for more than 3 months.
My intake hose keeps coming off the resonator, like completely. My car will lose power immediately whether I'm driving on a hwy at 70 MPH or stopped at a light. I lose power steering and its difficult for me to press down on the breaks. I'm very luck I was in the position to be able to pull off the hwy safely. I have to tighten the bracket tight enough to make it home. A lot of times I'm unable to tighten it good enough and it will come off again. Most recent incident happened on 3/2/2020 at a traffic light. This has been happening for the better part of a year and a half. Very scary to go through.
While driving the vehicle it may randomly stall causing the motor to shut down while the car is in use making it very unsafe. Also random over heating and stalling I've changed both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor also the radiator and the thermostat nothing fixes it. There was a recall on my vehicle but I need to be put on the list I was left out.
The vehicle shuts off without warning. It happens every day and sometimes in the middle of traffic!

My family has owned a 2007 nissan murano for nearly 8 years. In the last year, my wife has experienced extreme trauma as she has had the vehicle completely die on her while in the middle of freeways, highways, and residential roads. We have had the vehicle taken in and inspected by multiple nissan dealerships and each visit has only resulted in their recommendation of routine maintenance being suggested, such as transmission fluid exchange, brake repair, or battery replacement. Our murano has recently decided to repeat these same issues after over a year of normal function. My wife was driving the vehicle normally and all of a sudden she began to lose power until the car came to a stop and the function of the vehicle stopped due to what appeared to be an electrical problem. After assessing the issue, I attempted to jump start the vehicle with jumper cables, which allowed the murano to start, but once it was independently idling, it would again lose power after an attempt to drive the vehicle. I am heavily concerned for the welfare of my wife and daughter as they drive this car daily. The nissan dealerships that I typically rely on for these critical repairs have been no help and I am at a loss for why this has happened with such a long time frame between issues. I hope that nissan will issue a recall on this problem and rectify any prior repairs that have been suggested as a resolution to the issue that may very well have not resolved the true issue at hand. I am in dire need of answers as to why a well maintained vehicle would be fine one minute and then completely inoperable the next. The vehicle has had many components replaced and maintained to prolong the life of the vehicle and with 180k miles has the potential to continue for many more. I don't want to pour money into this issue that nissan needs to address, as I am not the only one having dealt with this!
Been having major issues with the power of the vehicle. It's like shaking and not accelerating like it should be.
I'm concerned about the vehicle's safety due to the fact that the engines stops while driving on the road. No warning lights or anything indicating a problem.
Takata recall: my car keeps stalling!! The whole left side driver side electrical doesn't work signal,headlights, brake lights my car is shaking on the highway
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.
Takata recall multiple times the car while in motion wants to cut off or won't drive. I was driving and it wasn't wanting to drive. I pulled into a parking lot to my right. Then as I entered the parking lot the car turned off completely by itself and I couldn't use my breaks or steering wheel. I ended up running it into a curb to be able to come to a complete stop. I have read that there is a recall on 2005-2007 nissan. I looked up my VIN number to see if there was a recall and it says there was not a recall on my vechile but other nissan owners have been having the same problem. I have a baby and don't need my nissan shutting off and causing an accident while I have my baby in the car.
I was on the highway when the car shut down on me. I took it to 2 mechanics and they both said the motor seized. They mentioned that the car was burning oil after the fact. There was no signs on my dashboard. The only difference on the car that I noticed was the car had been running a bit sluggish . I've replaced the timing chain and fuel pump. The car only has 96,600 miles. The mechanic can't give me a straight answer just that the motor seized .
My car stalls while driving when the air intake comes loose. This is happening constantly. I have narrowly escaped 2 accidents. The car was in motion both times. I now have to make sure this connection is secure by stopping every few miles of driving and each time before I start out for the day.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal. On several occasions, the engine continued to rev very highly before the vehicle abruptly accelerated at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer and local dealer (nelson nissan, 800 w. Queens st, broken arrow, ok) were notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 129,000.
Takata recall the engine in my 2007 nissan murano stalls at one point it shut iff on me while driving my son to school. The air bag light is blinkg so there a peoblem with the air bag there is a problem with the speed control the vehicle slows down and it will not pass 60
The engine stalled and restarted while idling parked in a parking spot.
The transmission is shot at 115, 000 miles! Just died on the interstate. My daughter was driving on the interstate and suddenly car died, she barely could get car on shoulder of the road. Took car to our nissan mechanic and he said this year was known for bad transmissions.
Takata recall: we bought our nissan murano (2007) 16 months ago. It has barely 100k miles on it and the engine is burning oil constantly. My husband is adding oil to it every other day. Plus the transmission is rattling constantly when pressing the gas and the car has stalled at least 5 times since we've had it, one time almost causing an accident. We have young kids and this is our family car and I do not feel safe driving it.
I had to replace my altenator 3 times. I bought the car 2 years ago at 90,000 miles. When it first went out, I bought one from autozone, then 4 months later is went out. I had a warranty thru autozone on the parts so the part was replaced but I had to cover the labor cost. 2 months later the altenator replace it again but I wanted labor cost covererd this time. They agreed to cover the part and labor. There must be an electrical problem with these cars. I ve read other owners of the same car having the same issue. If nissan doesn't fix this for free, I will never buy another of their cars because I can't believe multiple times. I had two different mechanic so it not the person, it's the car, I believe so. The other problem I've had it that the air duck intake hose keeps disconnecting, it will cause my car to miss file and run very ruff, like poor performance. It can make the car shut off while driving or at a stop sign.
The drivers seat is very wobbly is not stable. Engine is making a noise unsure on how to describe and I believe there's undercarriage rusting and the car is getting wet inside when it rains.
I was traveling down the interstate, going about 70 MPH. My vehicle didn't want to run properly. I was unaware of the issue, I thought it would straighten up after a few minutes. Well, my car just shut down. I was lucky I made it to the shoulder of the highway before an accident happened. I had it towed to the shop in the town I reside in. He diagnosed it, and said nissan muranos were known for this to happen. He put it back together, as it had separated. I did some personal research on the problem, and saw there was a recall campaign for the generation 1 muranos (2003-2007), I then did a VIN # check, and there was no known recalls for my VIN. I also saw during research, that there were thousands of vehicles recalled for this issue. I reached out to nissan consumer affairs, they made me aware there was nothing that could be done due to the age and mileage of the vehicle. I then made them aware this was a big safety hazard for myself, and other motorists. They then transferred the case to a regional case specialist. The regional specialist, again, told me there was nothing they could do. I then, explained the importance of this problem. The regional specialist then transferred me to a supervisor. The supervisor then called me back, and told me yet again, there was nothing that could be done. This is just unbelievable to me that just because, by policy, they won't cover repairs that could lead to the extent of taking someones life. I have told them everything I included in this report. Please advise.
My 2007 nissan murano continues to stall after replacing the camshaft sensor 3 times. My issues seem to fit the description defective intake air ducts. This causes, which my car does, to cut off while driving. Acceleration is bad and even worse when I use my air conditioning. I no longer take the car on the highway after cutting off driving to stop signs and green lights in traffic.
In the past 2 weeks while driving my car, it randomly, completely shuts off. I have no electrical anything. My car will start right back up once I stop and turn the key. This happens several times anytime I try driving (just in the past couple of weeks) on the highway 70-80 MPH or just down the street 25-40 MPH and has also happened twice when I am making a turn! It is scary when I lose the ability to steer my vehicle.
The charger warning and brake warning lamp will immediately came. The engine slowed down and the car could only go 10 MPH. This happened while turning onto a busy street. Drove the car 2 MPH back home.
Air intake ducting separates from resonator causing engine to stall. I found a recall campaign bulletin, ntb09-038, july 16, 2009. This recall was denied by clay cooley nissan in austin, tx on nov., 27, 2017.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact placed the vehicle in neutral and coasted to the right side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure occurred on several occasions while making right and/or left turns. Brown's dulles nissan in sterling, virginia was made aware of the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.
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.
Overheating shutting off very dangerous recall is needed it has the same problem as the recall
