I purchased this vehicle from the local nissan dealer in october 2019. Since then, the forward emergency braking system continually turns off within just a few miles of driving the car. This also shuts down the cruise control to the vehicle. I have taken the vehicle back to the nissan dealership several times where I had to pay for them to replace the radar sensor that controls the system. It did not help and the problem occurs still every single time I drive the vehicle. The only way to re-engage the system is to stop the vehicle and turn off the engine and then start the vehicle back up. This is the same system that has caused numerous problems with the nissan rogue. The question below is not for when did this happen, it is more of a case of when hasn't this happened? This vehicle is an absolute lemon and should not be available to the public.
2015 Nissan Murano brakes complaints

Initially the problem start with the active cruise control being intermittent. I would be on and then the system randomly error out and disable at highway speeds. Now currently the aeb system is completely not functional at any speed and I suspect the front radar sensor the system uses is faulty. Lots of research online and many many people have the same 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.
My nissan murano has an automatic emergency braking (aeb) safety feature. About a week ago, I was pulling out of the garage at work. A car in the lane to my right and a little ahead of me, but not in front of me. I slowed as I approached a speed bump. Speed at this time was less than 10mph - about 5 MPH. Once slowed, to get over the speed bump, I needed to press on the gas. The aeb system beeped quickly and loudly. The aeb symbol flashed on my dashboard. Then, suddenly and abruptly, the car stop. The aeb system stopped the car. As it did, I looked up. The other car in the lane next to me had managed to go over the speed bumps well before me and was never coming into my lane. The only other thing near me was the speed bump sign that straddled the median to the left. But again, it was not in my lane. I was not in any danger of hitting anything. Thankfully, the car behind me was about 20 feet away or it would have rear-ended me. I was scared and confused, but had to keep going to not block the exit lanes. After that incident, I noticed that the aeb light on my dash would flash, sometimes briefly, again, when I was not in any danger. In one instances, I pulled into a lane as I exited a gas station behind a car waiting at a red light. There was a car in front of me so I approached slowly to get in line at the light. The light turned green. And as I pressed the gas to begin to accelerate, the aeb light flashed. This time, the cars behind me were closer and starting to pick up speed. The car did not stop, thankfully. But these situations continued and occurred at least once a day. I called the dealer to ask about recalls. The service tech did not acknowledge any recalls and offered to test it for $145. This is a safety issue caused by nissan. We paid extra for this feature and now I can't trust it and worry it is faulty.
My barely 3 year old vehicle recently began displaying a warning that the anti collusion system was not functional and I noticed this also disabled and disengaged the cruise control resulting in sudden deceleration .this problem seems to reset when car is started and reoccurs after 15 or 20 minutes driving . I took the car to a nissan dealership service dept both reps at the desk told me the problem was a recall on the less expensive more common rogue model but not on the murano which used the very same components and also told me it was very expensive to fix .I searched on line and on numerous sites found it was a very common serious defect with a bosch supplied sensor on the radar . Why are they fixing one model but not the same defect on the murano .this is a driving safety feature I considered essential to my purchase and when suddenly fails disengaging cruise control presents a very dangerous situation . The manufacturer is well aware of the issue and insists I pay to diagnosis and at this point pay a very large repair bill to repair ,,,,unacceptable !
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan murano. While driving at any speed, the vehicle shook violently, an abnormal vibration was felt, and the braking was unstable. The failures occurred with no warning. The dealer (granite nissan, 2626 e mall dr, rapid city, sd 57701, (605) 342-3400) test drove the vehicle and was unable to replicate and diagnose the failures. The failures recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and suggested taking the vehicle back to the dealer for further diagnostic testing. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.
Purchased the murano 5/15/2018. Almost immediately noticed a problem with braking/acceleration. The problem occurs when I start to apply my brakes to slow down the engine seems to rev up causing the vehicle to accelerate forward. This requires a need for me to slam on the brakes in order to get the vehicle to stop and get it back under control. The strange thing is that this occurs only about 1/3 of the time. However I feel this creates a major safety hazard to me and others around me on the highway. I have taken the vehicle to my local nissan dealer on on 2 occasions to have them check this out. Unfortunately they say nothing is wrong but the mechanic says he knows what I am talking about because he has experienced it before with other vehicles. He also says there are no recalls for that issue.
My car that had less than 60,000 miles on it has had to have the antilock brake system replaced, the transmission replaced, the leather seats have tears on both sides of the rear seat, the windshield has over a dozen chips in it and most recently, when driving, my gas gauge went to empty although I had just filled it up less than 16 hours earlier and had not done any driving. I pulled over on the side of the highway, turned my car off and back on and the gauge reset itself. My car is now out of warranty and I'm waiting for the next major thing to happen.
When backing up in a parking lot, brakes were applied to stop the vehicle but brake pedal went to the floor and did not stop vehicle. Vehicle was shifted into park and vehicle then came to a stop.
I was driving my wife and daughter yesterday, when all of a sudden the car shuts off. The car behind me almost ran into the back of my car. Another time on the highway, the car shuts off and I almost had a accident. I am scared that this can happen again and I will be putting my life and my family's life in danger.
I took my murano to have the recall repaired. Nissan would not give me the car back due to safety concerns. They gave me a stripped down car not equal to mine. They said it takes five days to get the part from new york. That is a joke. They should be forced to expidite they part so I can have my car back! They are too cheap to pay for overnight shipping. I wanted them to give me a car like mine, they said it is up to the dealer. I reminded them that they recalled the car that is defective not the dealer. They get away with sticking it to the customer, they do not care.

The forward emergency braking system warning light comes on (this means the sensor is not working and the emergency warning is not working; further you cannot use cruise control when the light is on). This has been a problem from the beginning of owning the car. The dealer tried many times to repair the problem, all unsuccessful. Next the dealer replaced the sensor, and the problem still exists. The warning light comes on when the vehicle has been driven for a few minutes- 5 to 30 minutes after starting.
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.
