My 2009 Nissan Murano had a bad battery and starter, after replaced them the ABS/VDC/Slip control light were illuminated and ABS function lost. I searched online and found a lot of the Murano owners had the same issue by just replacing a battery then got these DTCs. At the end we found Nissan know this issue and issue a TSB for repair with customer's expense. They know this is factory issue but not recall it or even not notify their customer, it's safety issue and still need the customer to search it and repair with the customer's money (to pay their faults). TSB: NTB10-113a
When driving at a slow speed and applying full brakes, the car rather than stopping quickly took more time to stop and thus resulted in an accident - collided with the car in front. There was a recall for this car in 2019 for exactly this problem - R1814. Apparently, the fix the dealer has performed didn’t alleviate the problem. I sincerely request you to perform a thorough assessment of the recommended fix for this recall to safeguard others from this serious safety issue. Also, if possible, I request you to arrange for assessment of my vehicle to confirm if my ABS concerns are true which I truly believe they’re.

Would lose brake pressure going over a manhole cover/any uneven surface while braking, generally braking to a stop. This would happen periodically for about a year (2016-2017). On 9/3/2017 I was braking for a red light, went over a manhole cover and lost all brake pressure. Vehicle would stop but you would need to press the pedal to the floor. I brought my car to the dealership where they determined the ABS control unit was inoperable. The dealership replaced the unit 9/14/17. I contacted nissan and was given a case number (28309423) but was never contacted. I am reporting this now as my VIN is not included in the current recall and I feel it should be.

I am reporting a complain about nissans negligence. Nissan did not informed me about outstanding recall (ABS hcu) for this vehicle which was issued late 2018. I only knew because I brought my vehicle to my trusted mechanic for braking issues on 08.20.2019 who informed me that there is an outstanding recall for this vehicle.

- What is wrong
- Nissan of North America, Inc (Nissan) is recalling certain 2009 Murano vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.
- Risk
- If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid. The HCU will then be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition. If necessary, the HCU will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1‑800‑867‑7669.
