My murano loses power while stopped or upon acceleration from a stopped position. All my vehicle lights inside and out flicker and flash. Theses lights include dome, dash, radio, outside lights headlights, park lights, brake lights. I've taken it to the dealer for diagnostic and they always say it's the battery. I've had 5 nissan batteries in 5 years. I've had the alternator replaced with no relief for the electrical problems

I have a repeated electrical issue with my car. At first, I thought my issue was diagnosed improperly but I was recently on the federal safety agency page and found over 20 complaints that expressed the same exact issue I have been having. That issue being the fact that my car, when in motion will completely shut off on me and go into neutral. This will happen without any warning and for me has happened both times on the highway while going 75 MPH. Once the car stalls out, the power steering will also go out in about 30 seconds and the engine will completely shut off at that time. Therefore, you have about 30 seconds to roll your car to a safe spot in order to avoid a crash. There is no turning the car off and then back on, as when you try to do so all of the dash lights will come on and the engine will not start back up as the battery is dead or close to it. If you are lucky you can get jumped but the battery becomes so drained that it cannot even hold a charge for a miles worth of power. Both times I have had to have my murano towed into a shop. The first time this issue occurred I was told I need my battery replaced as it was dead and that was the cause of my engine failure. This sounded strange to me at the time, as the battery that I had was a little less than a year old but I was just wanting to pickup a working car and put this behind me. My car worked properly for 48 days before I again, had the same exact issue occur to me, while again traveling on the highway going 75 MPH. This time, there was not adequate space on the highway to pull over and I had to call 911 in order to avoid a crash. Again, I had my car towed and was now told it was an issue with the alternator, which I then had replaced. I am now worried this issue will reoccur as people are stating they have had their alternator replaced 2 and 3 times and are still being put in these scary, engine failure situations

The vehicle will shut off when driving without any warning. It will go into limp mode or completely die when on a major highway. Lights will start flashing and power steering will go out.

Traveling 20 MPH on clean, dry concrete, approaching a yield sign at an intersection. Applied brakes and felt ABS pulse in the brakes. Abs pulses stopped and then the brake pedal continued to travel to the floor. I ended up finally coming to a stop in the middle the intersection. The driver who had the right of way managed to avoid hitting my vehicle.

Brakes suddenly became soft during a normal drive. Braking effectiveness severely reduced stopping distance became noticeably extended even at speeds less than 5mph. I had to depress pedal all the way for car to begin to slow. There were no warning lights . Car was taken to nissan service center 75k service + brakes fluid flush performed . Problem returned 1 week later. Researched online and found similar cases. Some mentioned ABS. I performed the following actions to verify. With car powered off brakes were ok pedal did not touch the floor when fully depressed. Immediately after powering car brakes became extremely soft again pedal was able to touch the floor. Turned off car disconnected battery and removed ABS fuse for 10 min. Brakes still ok. Connected battery brakes still ok. Powered on car brakes still ok . Abs and tire warning lights were on. 1 mile test drive and brakes were still ok. Powered off car reinserted ABS fuse . Brakes were ok after powering on car.

After starting from a cold start (parked overnight) I noticed the brake pedal was soft and went almost to the floor. There was no prior sign of brake failure and the car still could stop, just not as quickly or firmly as normal. Car was taken to a repair shop who diagnosed a leaking master cylinder but there was no brake failure warning light. After the shop replaced the master cylinder and bleed the system they found another leak in the ABS controller/ecu module. An internal leak, and no repair is possible. The shop says they have spoken to nissan and looked online but find no information about other similar braking system failures, no tsb's, no recalls. I find it very disturbing that two critical brake parts could both be leaking and failing, and the car showed no brake warning lights, no ABS warning lights, no indication of any problem while the brakes had obviously already failed. This is a fairly low mileage single-owner vehicle which has not been in any accidents and has been maintained properly. The failed parts (brake master and ABS controller/ecu are being held available for inspection.

Abs module failure. Needs replacement. In case of emergency, ABS,vdc and stability control are not going to control the vehicle. Also the tires lights warning and the brakes are on.
