ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Please note that although this system does not show that the recall repairs were complete, we have documentation from Nissan that we completed the recall work twice. On Tuesday, [XXX] at approximately [XXX]. our Nissan Murano spontaneously caught fire in our driveway. My family, including my [XXX] and a [XXX], woke up to the airbags exploding. We got our family out of the house as we spoke to the 911 dispatcher and the Murano went up in flames. Our doorbell camera caught the incident in its entirety (from the smoke under the hood to the inferno of flames) and the Montgomery County fire and explosive expert agrees that the start of the fire is likely from the ABS actuator issue stemming from Nissan’s recall in 2019. We are also hearing that it’s the worst spontaneous vehicle fire anyone has ever seen. After the incident, in good faith, we contacted Nissan North America who referred us to Nissan’s regional office for our area...they told us we have to hold the wreckage in our driveway for 8 weeks or possibly longer and that they will not help us mitigate it or provide a rental. Had our Nissan been parked in our garage, it would have been next to our mudroom which contains the gas line to our dryer. Our house would have exploded and my entire family would have died. My children cannot sleep and my pediatrician has recommended a psychologist for the entire family. My son and I have coughs from breathing in the fumes and cannot attend doctors’ appointments because we have no safe transportation. I have missed work, the burned vehicle in our driveway is melted and is a safety and health hazard for us and our neighbors. Our garage door, gutters, and soffits are melted, and there is potential damage to our roof. There is exploded glass everywhere, and my other car is un-drivable, structurally unsound, and melted on the right side, having been parked next to the Murano and torched under 1,500 degree heat for almost 40 minutes. Will provide videos. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5
JUNE 8, 2023 11:26 PM EASTERN - 2015 Nissan Murano caught fire while sitting in driveway. The vehicle burned to the ground. Background - Vehicle was taken to dealer to repair open recall in 2020 and Nissan dealer did not repair recall. The vehicle had no warning lights on or any other warnings. Vehicle was operating normal until fire. Vehicle had not been driven for 4 hours before the fire. Vehicle was parking in my driveway when the fire started. Fire fighters and police were called to scene to distinguish fire. Vehicle is a total loss. Purchased vehicle new and the ABS brakes, actuator and other parts were replaced twice during its lifetime in 2017, & 2018. All services performed at a Nissan Dealer. I have filed a formal investigation with Nissan USA and that investigation is underway.
The recall service was performed as promised. I do have to add though that shortly after having picked the car up, the automatic emergency braking warning light started to go off occasionally after normally applying the brakes. Then the light would go on at random times without having applied the brakes. I returned the car to the dealership and they mentioned that it was probably a coincident that this happened. I thought that this was suspect though as I never had any issues with the light and the system prior to bringing the car in for the ABS module recall. I still feel that something was tweaked or the system's failure was exacerbated by having had work performed on it, despite the ABS module being located on the firewall and the aeb sensor located in the front grill. I also have seen on the internet that 2015,2016,2017 and 2018 model year rogues,rogue sport, muranos, altimas, maximas, leafs, sentras, armada's and pathfinders have all been impacted by aeb issues. The most dangerous, when the vehicle goes into aeb mode for no reason and applies the brakes. There is a class action lawsuit in process now and some tsb's that you have issued for fixes. I have owned or own 4 nissans since 2010...a 2010 nissan sentra which was recently replaced by a 2019 nissan sentra and my 2015 murano which replaced my 2011 infinit g7xs. I have never had any major service issues with any of them with the exception of this most recent $1006.62 repair which the dealer said would not be covered as it was incidental to the recall repair. I feel the onus is on nissan to reimburse me for this repair as there is endless proof on the internet that this feature has and will continue to cause problems for the above vehicles it was installed on. Please advise me as to how you intend to handle my issue. Thank you, [xxx] email [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

We had our 2015 nissan murano at a certified nissan dealership for service because of a safety factory recall ordered by nissan. The recall was for replacement of an ABS accelerator. The nissan certified tech indicated to me, when loosening the strut bolts to get to the ABS accelerator they snapped and now the struts would have to be replaced at a cost to me of $700. I now have an unsafe vehicle with defective strut bolts and an ABS accelerator that needs replaced unless I come up with $700. The strut bolts possibly would of never been an issue if nissan hadn't a recall for their unsafe ABS accelerator. I contacted nissan customer service and the could not offer any assistance with my issue.
The ABS light comes on while driving and car stalls or immediately shuts down. I took the vehicle to nissan and a diagnostic test was done. They said I needed to have my crank shaft positioning sensor changed; I paid and had it replaced and still I am experiencing the same problem. I took the vehicle back to kings nissan at coney island brooklyn 2 weeks ago and it's still there and they can't figure out what's going on. Now I am being told they'll have to take the car apart to figure what's the problem and that'll cost me about a thousand dollars for labor, not inclusive of any parts that may need to be replaced. My problem here is that nissan cannot determine the issue and is having me pay for parts while they change parts by assuming what they issue might be, since they are unable to determine the real issue. My biggest regret is purchasing a nissan vehicle. The vehicle is barely 30,000 miles and it's costing me time and money.
Nissan campaign : pc482 on 9/92016 took vehicle in to have ABS actuator checked. It was within range for recall. Part was ordered. Week of 9/192016, received call from dealer central appointments (sheehy nissan waldorf) telling me part was in and was given appt on 9/23/2016 to have ABS actuator replaced. On 9/23, at dealership, I was told nissan is not replacing ABS actuator as called for in campaign unless it has leaked and ABS light is on. This is a part non-conformance issue. When seal allows leak, it drips on circuit board which will cause a fire. Remedy is to park vehicle, call for tow and get rental. This is unsafe and remains so. Nissan recall states "your nissan dealer will inspect the serial number of the ABS actuator, and if it is within the affected range, the dealer will replace the ABS actuator with a new ABS actuator at no cost." my actuator is within affected range and nissan is not complying with their own recall remedy.
