I was driving down the road at approx 35 MPH when I pressed on the brakes they went to the floor. I pulled over on the shoulder to prevent a collision. After pressing on the brakes again they began to function properly. I was headed to pick up my grand babies. ( thank god they were not in the vehicle) after turning the vehicle around to head home. The brakes malfunction again. This vehicle is unsafe to drive. I have my murano in the driveway. I refuse to drive it until it's fixed. The part runs around 2000.00. This is crazy. I'm still paying for the vehicle and I can't even drive it. Had to barrow another vehicle just to get to work.
2010 Nissan Murano brakes complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 56, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This is continuously happening, if I need to hit my brakes quickly, my break pedal become soft and I need to push the pedal all the way to the floor. This has now occurred in many instances and I drive with two toddlers in my car. I've had the dealer take a look at my breaks with a whole break rehaul, this is still occurring.
Experienced soft brake pedals after the anti-lock braking systems activated from hitting potholes, manholes or rough road surfaces. I was about three car-lengths from the car in front of me on route 22 (major highway), that was stopped at the red light; therefore, put on my brakes to stop. However, when I put on my brakes, my brake pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor for the vehicle to come to a stop. This now happens on a continual basis, whereby I have to allow more room between vehicles to allow stoppage. I have noticed that the 2009 model year has the same problem.
After an ABS activation event, during subsequent brake pedal presses, there is no braking effect for the first ~80% of brake pedal travel. All braking occurs in the final 20% of pedal travel distance. This has been observed numerous times over approximately the last 12 months. Steps: - vehicle is in motion (speed usually greater than 35mph) - brake is depressed - ABS engages successfully (due to some road condition causing vehicle to slide), brake pedal feel is normal - brake pedal is released - brake pedal is pressed again, without ABS activation. Observed problem: for the first 80% of brake pedal travel distance, there is no braking effect. - pedal feel may return to normal within a few seconds. In some cases, pedal feel has taken up to 30 minutes to return to normal. In several cases, the vehicle was pulled over and re-started in an attempt to get brake pedal feel to return to normal (this usually seemed to work). Initially this was diagnosed by a third-party mechanic, who recommended that the vehicle be taken to a nissan-certified service center for repair. It was this mechanic and the customer's opinion that this is the same defect that 2009 muranos have been recalled for (the federal safety agency campaign 18v916000), due to similarity in model year, parts and symptoms. Nissan service center reproduced the problem and indicated the ABS actuator as the suspect root cause. Have contacted nissan customer care with this information - they stated that since the vehicle is not under warranty and there are no recalls for it, nissan will offer no goodwill or assistance for this issue. I was told they will investigate, but that I should not expect any response or feedback. Abs actuator part number: 47660 1sw0a
All power to the vehicle was lost while parked in garage. Once car was jumped, all warning lights came on and stayed on. Drove to the shop to get new baterry. Speedometer was not working, map on GPS was not working. Mechanic diagnosed that the ABS actuator needs to be replaced at a cost of 3,500.00. The car is unsafe to drive as I have no way to cover the cost of the repair. This apparently has been an issue with 2009 and again 2011 they 2017 vehicles. Why was 2010 skipped in the recall. I have a car in the garage that is unsafe and while all other years have been recalled, the 2010 owners are driving unsafe vehicles which could lead to disastrous accidents. Why is the federal safety agency not looking into this? Will it take crashes to get someone's attention?
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan murano. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, but traveled to the floorboard without properly slowing the vehicle. The contact stated that there were no signs of a brake fluid leak; however, the brake fluid reservoir went from full to empty once the brake pedal was depressed. The contact also stated that the vehicle directional control became inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred once. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
Today, nov 26, 2019, a dry, sunny day near boston my brakes on 2010 murano failed and car rear ended the car in front at about 10mph. Pedal went all the way to the floor , car slowed slightly but was unable to stop with plenty of space to do so in normal conditions. Unable to steer around it due to oncoming traffic on left and hill on right. Damage to both cars. Police responded and car eventually towed to body shop.. Noticed similar complaints but why no recall?
This symptom occurs at all speeds. When brakes are depressed, the pedal goes all the way to the floor. Brakes do not function properly causing increased stopping distance. This issue is a hazard for occupants of the vehicle and others on the road around the vehicle. The symptoms the vehicle is exhibiting are identical to 2009 murano's that have brake modules and ecu's recalled. This vehicle has been removed from use pending replacements of the same components recalled on the prior year murano's. The cost of the repairs is in excess of $2000 and should be at the expense of nissan for installing faulty components. This faulty brake system can be fatal if not addressed, all murano's with faulty brake components need to be recalled before it costs the lives of innocent parties. The expense of the repair out of pocket may discourage some owners from taking appropriate measures, increasing the risk. Trouble shooting other components to avoid the costly parts required to repair the problem is a burdensome expense for the owners and increases the safety hazards of murano's on the road.
Soft brake pedal, brakes won't stop. Very dangerous. Same issue as 2009 recall. This is a 2010 but manufactured 10/2009 and should be included.
Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor without stopping. Same issue as the 2009 recall. My vehicle was manufactured 10/2009 even though it is a 2010. It should also be included in the 2009 soft brake pedal recall
I have almost gotten into a few car accidents because the brake pedal all of a sudden goes soft and I have to pedal it to the floor. Each time I've had to pull over to the shoulder to avoid the accident because it wasn't enough to stop in time. I can see that this is an ongoing issue as many other have reported the same problem for this vehicle and year. Nissan needs to get it together and fix this issue asap as lives are at risk
Brake pedal is soft, mechanic say its ABS actuator,nissan part no.: 47660-1sw0c, its same problem, that have murano 2009 and recall them, but not recall 2010
Hit a bump while braking and ABS kicked off, then the brakes went to the floor. Tried to pump brakes but brakes are still soft and on the floor. Turned off ignition and pumped brakes to see if that would reset, but brakes are not returning back to normal.
Brakes all the way to the floor! Almost caused accident! Same problem that all of the 09's have been recalled for yet nissan will not recall. (spongy brakes)
This complaint is to report the incident that happened yesterday july 25 2019 with 2010 nissan murano. Traveling at 45 miles per hour traffic was stopped suddenly in front of me. I slammed on the brakes, which the pedal went to the floor but barely engaged. I had to pull onto the shoulder to avoid a collision. This issue is persistent, even after replacing the brake pads and master cylinder. The federal safety agency please help with this defect with the 2010 murano. The 2009 has a recall, so should the 2010.
2010 nissan murano, in may I was traveling at approximately 35 MPH in town driving as I approached a street light I applied the brakes. The pedal was soft and went to the floor. Standing hard on the breaks I was able to stop, narrowly avoiding a rear end collision. Brake fluid was at a safe level. Changed brake pads. I still have soft brake pedal. I have to drive extra careful and ensure I give myself four times normal stopping distance. I have been researching to determine possible cause. I see many issues that nissan muranos have had with brake issues. Brakes are a major safety issue jeopardizing public safety. Respectfully request that the federal safety agency demand an inspection and correction recall for this known, widespread issue.
The first time my brakes went out I almost went to the front of a building. I took it to the mechanic and they drove my car and said nothing was wrong with it. A few weeks later my brakes went out while I was driving on the highway again. I took it back to the mechanic and they decided the master cylinder needed to be replaced. A few weeks later I was driving my car again & it would not stop. The brakes went all the way to the floor. I took my car back to the mechanic and they changed out the new master cylinder with a another nissan master cylinder. All was fine. A few weeks later and my brakes stopped working again.
Extended braking distance. After ABS deployment pedal travelled all the way to the floor and braking compromised. Same issue as 2009 murano voluntary recall by nissan. Master cylinder has been replaced on this vehicle twice.
I depressed the brake pedal normally and felt the braking action start, again normally, but when I applied more pressure, the pedal went almost to the floor before the brakes stopped the vehicle. The mechanic indicated I need new brake pads and master cylinder. After the repairs the brakes still did not work. They found a problem with the 2009 muranos but will do nothing for the 2010 with the same problems. I called nissan and they said too bad. Case number 36007466
Without warning, while in motion the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. After analysis, the mechanic thought that it might be the master cylinder. It was not, and he indicated that it was the ABS actuator or an ABS braking issue. I took it to the nissan dealer and they said there were no brake recalls and that any service or investigation would be at my expense. This vehicle only has 71,600 miles on it and the braking system certainly should not be compromised at this point. It is a safety issue, that has been haunting nissan in the past, is my opinion. I feel that nissan needs to take care of seriousness of this safety.
'takata recall' when trying to stop on roads that are highway or city and it is raining, snowing, or I hit a pot hole and the ABS system turns on the brakes stop working and the pedal goes to the floor.
Brakes failed and replaced master cylinder twice brakes failed again . Pedal went to the floor while driving.
The ABS brake warning light went on 2 days ago. The brakes seemed to work fine for stopping, but I did feel some resistance with acceleration. My vehicle has 77,000 miles. Dropped it off with the dealer today. They just phoned stating that the brake actuator motor failed to the tune of $3400 and it is a huge safety issue. After a little online investigation, quickly discovered that this is the same problem nissan had in the 2009 murano for which they did a voluntary recall. The rep at orange coast nissan said she phoned nissan corporate to see if they would help and she said they refused. At the very least, they should provide the part for free.
I was pulling in to my parking space at work (in motion) when I pressed the brake, but it went to the floor and the vehicle did not stop. I tried the brake again, same thing. I was able to maneuver away from poles and other cars, so nothing was damaged. I had it towed to an auto repair shop where they found the brakes were fine. Fluke? No. Thousands of similar issues have been reported, but nothing's being done. This happened with a 2010 nissan murano.
When I would drive and go to break, I could feel the brakes move down quickly and have my foot all the way to the floor before my car would actually slow down or stop. I went to a nissan dealership, where they diagnosed my car and they said that the ABS needs to be replaced. I went to get a second opinion from a mechanic and he told me that my ABS does need to be replaced and he looked on-line and said that nissan was having problems with the ABS brakes. When I looked on-line and read the recall information (#18v916), I noticed I was having the exact problem with my ABS brakes but my car was a year shy of the recall year models. I called nissan customer service and they said there is nothing they can do but they did document my call and gave me a case number (34912594).
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan murano. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. Also, the vehicle was slow to decelerate. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Murfreesboro nissan (814 memorial blvd, murfreesboro, tn 37129, (615) 893-0252) diagnosed that the ABS actuator needed to be repaired. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000. The VIN was unknown.
In october 2018, driving in a moderate rain shower, I depressed the brake pedal normally and felt the braking action start, again normally, but when I applied more pressure, the pedal went almost to the floor before the brakes stopped the vehicle. This problem continued until I arrived home. I took the vehicle to a service facility a few days later, the brakes were working normally now. The mechanic indicated I need new brake pads on the rear wheels (the front brakes had been reworked a year prior). After the repairs the brakes worked normally for a few weeks then started getting soft again, especially during rain; this continued for 2 months. In january, 2019 I took the vehicle to a nissan dealer to have them troubleshoot the issue. They found a problem with the previous rear wheel brake repair. I had nissan repair the rear brakes and bleed the system. Everything was good for 3 weeks then while making a turn the front wheels slipped and the brake pedal had to be pushed to the floor to stop the vehicle. I later tested the brakes (in a safe location) by "slamming" on the brakes while moving 30 MPH. The brakes did hold but my foot felt like it was on the floor. The softness lasted 2 days but seemed to get better when I pushed the brake pedal numerous times while the engine was off. This problem has not been resolved as of this date. I am very concerned but how do you fix an intermittent problem without throwing money at it? The brake problem has only occurred on city streets. The 2010 only has 32k miles on it.
Brakes went to the floor lost control of vehicle. Went on lawn to avoid hitting a pedestrian. Vehicle has been in the nissan dealership in the past for this exact problem that randomly appears. 2009 had a vol recall and the affected parts involved are in this model year as well. The date codes show it to be a 2009 part. Nissan would not assist us. Brake returned to normal operation. Vehicle has under 60k miles on it. Over $3000.00 for repair
For the past several weeks the car has had very soft brakes, depressing to the floor before weakly braking. It seemed to come on abruptly with no clear precipitant. Pumping the brakes temporarily improves the issue, but only for a number of seconds. The issue has not prevented us from driving the car, but extra care has been needed in maintaining distance from the vehicle in front and we know it needs to be addressed. Today, I took the vehicle to my mechanic who says the issue seems to be with the ABS unit, but requested we get a second opinion due to the high cost of replacement ($2500). I did some investigating and see that your administration conducted an investigation on 2009 murano's for the exact same issue. On this complaint database there are over 20 reports of this same problem with 2010 models, not to mention the multitude of issues reported elsewhere; however, there has been no recall or investigation. The ABS unit itself, when shopping for a replacement, is apparently the same as that in the 2009. Why has there not been a recall on the 2010? Are we waiting for someone to die in an accident?
The brake system compleley failed and a rear axel came loose and almost lost atire driving before the brakes stopped and failed ijust had brake fluid put in the resivior too and they still failed on the vehicle.
