The driver side sunvisor suddenly fell down striking my wife in the fore head and causing her to run off the roadway. She was safely able to re-enter the roadway without over correcting and having an accident. This has happened several times, finally to the point that I have removed the sunvisor. I have twin seven year olds with autism that ride in this vehicle several times a week. I have read of several other owners of Murano's with the same issue. As a police officer and paramedic this is a safety issue that the manufacturer needs to address, before someone is seriously injured.
The car was driven on the high way at 50 mph, when it started to decelerate and would only go over a max speed of 30 mph. Even with acceleration, the car would not go over 30 mph. It was driven to the auto repair shop and they declared the transmission had failed and the engine was faulty as well. This car has given us so many problems. This is the third time it had stalled on the highway almost causing accidents and presenting a dangerous situation for my family! this problem needs to be corrected!!!!!!!!! something must be done!.
During stop and go traffic, I step on the gas pedal and the car does not move for a few seconds then suddenly the car jerks forward. This happend continiously over the past month. I would like this issue to be investigated and recalled, as this is a big safety concern.
Automatic left side door lock does not function automatically. Front right side and left rear door locks only work intermittently. I have been told door actuators need to be replaced. Problem cannot be fixed without complete replacement. This appears to be a problem either with faulty design or production. Inability to automatically lock doors from the inside could present safety problem.
Nissan Murano 2004 -- sun visor on drivers side is not staying up. As I am driving ( sometimes with my kids) the sun visor drops down blocking my view. This is a big safety issue and I'm surprised no one has been injured or sued Nissan for this. I have noticed many other people have the same complaint. The dealer wants $400. 00 to put in a new one -- when this should never happen.
My 2004 Nissan Murano has a defective driver-side sun visor problem. It keeps falling down and will also not stay up. This is a safety issue because when I am driving the vehicle, the visor will flop down without warning and cause me to become distracted, which could cause me to have an accident. Also, if I put it down, it will not stay in the position I place it in. I believe this is a defective part in the Nissan Murano. I have noticed on the internet that many people have been complaining about this issue and that Nissan refuses to cover this under warranty or under a recall. There was even a Nissan auto technician who anonymously admitted that this was a mechanical failure because he has to replace the visor part on many vehicles he has worked on. Can you do anything about this?.
The differential/cvt transfer case is defective. Which requires you to have to replace the awd system at a cost of $4-6000. It also cause the car to have steering problems as well. This issue also causes the vehicle to burn a significant amount of fuel which require premium gas. I have read numerous complaints on the web about the same problems other people are having. This causes unnessecary financial hardship as most people are still paying a car loan on this vehicle.
Engine goes to idle. Will not respond to accelerator imput until ignation is turned on and then back on. Seems to be a random event.
Driver-side sun visor will not stay in place. It is loose and will drop down while driving, blocking visibility.
I ran off the left side of a mountain road hitting a large tree with the driver's door, then continued down the hill another ~20 feet slamming into a boulder. When I hit the tree, the driver's door window broke as well as the driver's side rear door. The door was jammed shut. The Nissan was equipped with front side impact airbags and both front and rear head protection airbags. None were deployed. When I hit the boulder, the front passenger airbag deployed, but the driver's front airbag failed to deploy. The pre-tensioner on the driver's seatbelt did not latch resulting in me hitting my upper chest and lower jaw on the steering wheel since the airbag did not deploy. The fuel cut-off device also failed to activate and shut off the engine. After almost a minute, I turned off the engine with the key. I had been knocked unconscious for several seconds. The 2004 Nissan Murano sustained over $25,000 in damage which resulted in it being totaled by my insurance company. The airbag light would illuminate briefly when starting the car prior to the accident. So there was no indication of an airbag malfunction. There was substantial damage to the driver's side of the vehicle as well as the front and undercarriage. My injuries were limited to bruises to my chest and lower jaw. The accident also greatly aggravated a prior injury to my upper back. When I went to go remove my personal belongings from the vehicle, I found that the jack, mounted in the rear floor had come completely out.
Idler pulley and bracket design default. I just took my car in after an all of the sudden clanging noise - at 35,000 miles. I was told by authorized dealership that I required a new idler pulley and bracket. Apparently it was broken. I believe this is a design default and should be looked into. I have heard many people complaining of this same thing. I ended up paying $99 for labor, $69. 50 for the pulley, and $25 for the bracket. This part failing at 35,000 miles is unacceptable.
Alternator adjusting bracket - I had to have my 2004 Nissan Murano serviced due to a coolant leak that I noticed. When looking at the vehicle, entire underbody was filled with coolant and no coolant remained in the reservoir. The dealer serviced the vehicle and documented the issue as the alternator adjusting bracket having broken and rupturing the hose, fan pulley and the power steering belt being negatively impacted. After speaking with the service tech. , there have been multiple times that he has seen this issue. With an obvious repeating issue in the vehicles, the severity of damage to the vehicle (bracket breaks, alternator loosens in hood and damages surrounding mechanisms, or occupants (operation of vehicle not ideal with bracket broken, impacting surrounding mechanisms (power steering belt, fan, alternator, coolant system) that could result, and the customer dissatisfaction of having this issue and incurring the costs to repair.
Dear sir, we own a 2004 Nissan Murano that we bought new in may of 2004. The vehicle has performed great over the years; however, we do have one very important safety issue with the Nissan Murano which is the driver's side sun visor. As you are driving, the sunvisor will drop down blocking the view of the roadway. I have also spoken with another Nissan Murano owner who stated that she has experienced the same problem. Also, I ran an internet search for "problems with a Nissan Murano sunvisor" and discovered numerous blogs submitted by individuals who have experienced the exact same problem with their Nissan Muranos. I strongly feel that this issue needs to be investigated before someone is very seriously injured or perhaps killed because they were unable to see the roadway.
I hit a pot hole around Dec 2005. My vehicle received extensive damage. I will like for you to investigate the damages, was this cause by the pot hole, or vehicle was not check appropriately. There has been certain recalls on my vehicle which has made me wonder.
