2012 Nissan Murano: check engine light

Filed Aug 23, 2026 · Fuel system, Suspension · SC

My tire light is on a my 2012 nissian murano. It flashes at startup, with the light on, telling me I have low tire pressure. I put air evenly in all four tires. The light still remains on; how can all four TPMS go bad? I wouldn't know if i have a leak or low pressure due failed TPMS. My check engine light is on due to air/fuel ration on bank 1 sensor 1. This issue is causing poor fuel economy and filing emissions.

While starting from a stop, the car will not accelerate for 5-10 seconds. This is dangerous in intersections and when pulling into traffic. First experienced problem at 98k and took to dealer. Dealer could not diagnose or recreate problem. No check engine lights indicated. This problem has continued intermittenly and is now happening on a regular basis. At 121k, took to dealer even though no service lights on and was told the CVT transmission needs to be replaced. As well, the motor mounts and front bushing control arms need to be replaced. All 3 of these items are reported by other owners. Cvt was offered to owners with 2003-2010 models; however, the same issue is happening in later models, including my 2012. Nissan needs to recall these years as well.

I have experienced the following: loss of power at high speed, a whistling sound when accelerating, and a grinding sound when turning left. The check engine light has come one. The loss of power at a high speed resulted in an incredibly dangerous situation.

The vehicle loses power when accelerating from a stop. I may take several seconds before the car will accelerate normally. No check engine light is present and no codes can be obtained by an obd2 scan.

At sporadic times, my 2012 nissan murano will hesitate to accelerate from a stopped position. On multiple occasions this has left me stranded for 5-10 seconds in the middle of busy intersections. On two separate occasions (while under warranty) I notified nissan about the problem. The first time I contacted children nissan where I purchased the vehicle and was advised to bring the vehicle in when the problem could be replicated or when the check engine light was on. On 3-15-14, I brought the vehicle to autonation nissan in marietta, ga to have the vehicle inspected and serviced. I discussed the acceleration issue with autonation, but was told to come back when the problem was present or if the check engine light came on. Three separate transmission specialists have diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty CVT transmission. There are numerous documented cases of the nissan CVT transmissions failing. This problem has become so prevalent that nissan designed a special 120k-mile warranty for the CVT in the 2003-2010 nissan murano vehicles. The problems with my 2012 murano are identical to those who had issues with the 2003-2010 murano. Due to the unpredictable nature of the problem, I am unwilling to place my family in danger by driving my murano. Due to the vehicle now being out of warranty, nissan has refused to assist with the problem.
