The liftgate won't open either with the key fob or mannualy every time I have to unhook the battery to reset vehicle was not in motion, opening the hood every time this happens to reset the liftgate is not ideal

Tends to happen when it is warmer weather outside - all four door locks will not operate correctly (unlock or lock) with keyfob. Life gate will also not unlock or lock correctly unless passenger side doors are unlocked. Safety concern. Has been happening for a couple years now but just found out about this website.

I have put 4 alternators on in last 4 months and now it is stuck in security immobilize mode and won't do nothing this safety moad is 3 time it's done it and we can't get it out it won't even get fuel to start because of being stuck in security mode and the key fob works when it wants to and when it went into this mode it was parked but running and I had to tow it home and it's getting pretty expensive

The door locks on the muranos do not function properly. From reading message boards online it looks like a common issue that should be recalled as it is not just my vehicle. Sometimes it won't lock and other times it won't unlock. It doesn't work with either the keyfob or from the inside of the door. It is a safety concern not being able to lock and unlock the car door. Someone could open your car door or not being able to unlock it to exit the vehicle in an emergency. Nissan wants several thousand dollars to fix the issue when it is something that is a common defect on their end. They should have to fix it.

Key fobs and auto start doesn't always work. Murano will be parked and off and I walk up within 15 ft of the drivers side door and try to autostart and it consistently only works about 1 in 4 tries. Dealership has replaced both fobs and batteries and still not working every single time. Also, several times in the past year, I get in and place foot on brake and push button to start and it will not start, takes several attempts before the vehicle will start!!!

The push button start didn't shut off the engine when it was put in the garage resulting in the carbon monoxide poisoning of my mother. *tt

Rear doors and rear hatch will not open when using remote key fob. Nissan say you have to replace right front, left and right rear door actuators for about $1500.

Within a period of less than a month, all 4 of the electronic door locks on all 4 doors of my nissan murano s have failed. Initially, the problem was isolated to just 1 or 2 doors, and sometimes it would vary as to whether the door would lock or unlock when either pressing the remote entry key fob or using the interior door unlock button. Now, no door will lock/unlock at all. They can only be manually unlocked by pressing the rocker switch at the door. While driving the car, I am unable to securely lock all 4 doors. When I exit the vehicle, and manually lock the doors, upon returning, I am unable to unlock the doors without first using the key in the drivers door (the only 1 with a key lock), and then entering the vehicle, and manually unlocking the other 3 doors. This is a safety hazard with small children, as I can not leave them in the parking lot by themselves for me to enter the vehicle to get their door unlocked.

On my 2005 nissan murano all doors, including gas door, except drivers door will periodically fail to lock or unlock using the door lock button on drivers door or key fob. The problem appears to be linked to the ambient temperature, most likely to occur on hot days. The sounds you hear are the same just sometimes the lock button just wiggles slightly, rather than moving enough to lock or unlock the doors. This problem occurs at any time, regardless of vehicle movement. I find it odd for all lock actuators too fail at the same time, then start working again at the same time. The dealer wants 1600-2000 dollars to replace all lock actuators.

All occurrences took place when vehicle was stationary. I bought the vehicle less than two weeks ago, used, from the previous owner who had it for nine years. She supposedly kept up with all the maintenance and appears to have taken real good care of it. Everything was fine until about three days ago when on a couple of occasions I parked and locked the vehicle and came back hours later to discover the front windows were down about 3 inches...weird. So when I got to work this morning I engaged the window lock button. Then this afternoon I came out after work to discover the windows were both all the way down. I drove home and parked in the garage and rolled up the windows and left the key in the console. An hour later, got ready to leave and the windows were back down, and doors were locked. I reached in and unlocked the door, and when I opened it the alarm went off! Oh, forgot to mention that the key fob doesn't work, in spite of replacing the battery this week, so the panic button doesn't work. Got in and started the engine and the alarm is still going off!! Put it into gear and back into park and it's still going off. Got out and headed into the house (keys in hand this time) and the alarm randomly stopped...hmm. Okay, so I went back around and opened the door (thinking I could leave now) and the alarm started sounding again...what the heck!
