What 2011 Nissan Murano owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Around 100,000 miles would not accelerate when traveling an incline or after stopping and restarting at a red light or stop sign, even while gas pedal was to the floor. When the car finally decided to move it would surge. Also while idling stationary and shutting the car off, it failed to restart. Head lights started blinking, a clicking noise could be heard coming from engine. The car would have to be jumped off. Battery checked and is not the issue.
Our vehicle has been in 2 accidents - one where we were struck in the rear left bumper and the other we were struck in the front left bumper. Speeds were about 20 MPH. Neither resulted in the airbags being deployed. We have experienced many issues with the electrical system including failure of the radio/climate control screen, speaker volume changing without initiation and unable to be controlled, & rear speakers not functioning. These occurred at all times of vehicle operation.
Vehicle's convertible top stops working (while stationary) in mid operation when pressing button to either opening or closing top. Vehicle is not safe to drive while top is stuck and dashboard warning light is beeping notifying top is not secured. Vehicle has been taken to both the dealership and to place of purchase (carmax). And is currently at a nissan dealership now and has been there since 4/25/19. As of today 6/5/19 they have stated their final analysis determines the wire convertible top wire harness needs replacing because after multiple analysis they have determined the wire harness can't be repaired and that the warranty company is declining this electrical replacement. The top has randomly gotten stuck numerous and unpredictable times, whether at home, at work, a public parking lot, at the grocery store, at a stop light, etc., and I can't continue to safely drive the car when it malfunctions. So I'm not able to safely and confidently use it. Help me please.
I noticed my nissan murano losing acceleration when taking off. When it finally catches up it rides fine. That is so dangerous especially living in the city with freeways and traffic! Also my air is not working. I took it to a dealer, air compressor was fine, they recharged the system with freon and it still didn't work. I need some kind of relay switch for $500. I feel like I'm paying for a lemon at 85,000 miles!
Twice in the last few weeks, when turning off the ignition, the lights when on, the headlights started blinking. And the entire electrical shutdown, not allowing me to change gears out of park, not turn on a light, nothing. Car had to be jump started. So dangerous, when kids are in the car, and I couldn't move it out of harm's way. See uploaded document for details.no way to put in neutral to move. Husband couldn't get out of car. Door locked from inside,
While exiting a parking space at a low speed (less than 10 MPH) the car unexpectedly accelerated to full throttle. Braking would not hold it and my car ran into another vehicle after traveling 5-15 yards, pushing it up on a sidewalk before stopping. Both cars total loss due to bent frame/rails. My front end demolished and radiator pushed into engine but no airbags deployed. After the incident it was discovered that my accelerator pedal had snapped off.
My door locks began to fail intermittently when I try to enter or exit the vehicle. On 2/13/16 I got into the vehicle late at night, cranked it, put it in drive, and began to pull off when the vehicle totally shut down and would not crank(leaving me stranded, at night, in freezing wrather). The vehicle would not restart. It would only click....then eventually do nothing. Later that evening we attempted again. It would not start until we hit the lock button on the remote.(battery previously replaced). This is clearly a defect with nissans as seen on many complaint forums. All 4 actuators failing are ridiculous. I was told by a mechanic (not associated with nissan but has had to work many of the same issues with their vehicles) that it is a security system issue and the vehicle actually thinks you are stealing it so it shuts down. Hopefully, it won't think that while I am traveling on the interstate. Please investigate. The next day, it wouldn't start.
All 4 of my door lock actuators have gone out at the same time.
