2010 Nissan Murano electrical problems

The radio volume knob has an electrical defect. If you touch or use the volume knob the volume will automatically increase unexpectedly. This is a problem when driving. It will turn up so loud and unexpectedly that I have all most crashed my car. At this point the stereo is inoperable. Also was told the steering column has a crack. I bought this car brand new. That feels like a defective part and not something that the owner should have to replace, but should be the responsibility of the car maker.

Vehicle will not accelerate. I will drive it a few miles, and it will be just fine. I drive it more, and it will stall and not accelerate. In fact, on 6/30/25, I was getting on the highway and it wouldn't accelerate and 8 warning lights came on. It has a brand new battery, alternator, idle sensor, and throttle position sensor. My dad and grandpa both know a lot about cars, and they are at a loss.

After multiple repairs the brake light and battery light continue to come on. My vehicle turned off while driving. I believe it's a faulty voltage regulator for the alternator. This seems to be a common issue for my type vehicle.

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?

My car stalled on me when in motion and wont go past 7mph, and eventually lose power and drain my battery. I took it for repair bought a new alternator,replaced the alternator it still drain and damage the battery. I have to go buy another battery, a brand new battery and in no time drained the battery again. This happens when the car is running regardless if anything is turned on or not.

I have a 2010 murano and for the second time in 3 years my battery and alternator have to be replaced. Sounds identical to the recall on the 2005. I shouldn't have to pay for this twice in 3 years. Nissan recall this!

The problem has occurred over a period of about 6 months. It started with the front driver side door not unlocking, only on occasion, with the fob. It was a slow progression but the unlock button on the door wouldn't unlock it either. It slowly progressed the effect the other doors as well. Before we knew it, no doors will unlock with the fob or the unlock buttons. We now have to use the key to unlock the driver side door and use our hands to unlock the other doors.
