While driving down my street, my 2004 Murano (only 7,000 miles) lost acceleration and I could not get down the street. Thankfully I was not on the highway or I would have been stranded. I actually made it to my driveway where it stalled for good. I called the dealer and they had it towed to the dealership, and they replaced a defective alternator. It was all covered under warranty of course, but I think this type of failure could be potentially dangerous to other drivers of Murano's.

(1) I drove from chapel hill, nc to washington, DC the morning/afternoon of the alternator failure. I was sitting idle (with car and a/c on) in front of the vienna, va metro station waiting for a friend. I was driving myself and 3 other people to a concert being held that night (Sunday June 26 2005) at Nissan pavilion in bristown, va. (2) as I placed my car in park to drive away with my 3 friends inside I noticed that the car would not go over 1 or 2 mph. I stepped on the gas pedal, but the enginer would not rev. I placed the car in reverse. . . Same thing. I placed the car in neutral and the car revved. The battery and parking light were on. After a few more attempts to get the car moving I decided to shut it off for a few minutes and try again. This time around the engine would not start. (3) I had the car towed by aaa to the nearest Nissan dealer. They fixed (replaced?) the alternator and I was able to pick it up again that evening.

Luckily, I was only five blocks from home at the time and was able to safely drive the car and park it in front of my house. I called a tow truck and had the car towed to the dealership.

Alternator failure.

Alternator failed while driving on the highway. Luckily I was in bumper to bumper traffic so the speed was only about 10 mph but I think that had I been going 65 that the potential for an accident etc. Would be very likely. You lose all ability to accelerate, imagine pulling off onto a street with a failure like this and a car coming in the other direction? steering is slighly compromised as well. Again, I was lucky and coasted to the side of the road, someone else may not be as lucky. Pe04077_cat.

I own a Nissan Murano 2004 automobile. Since oct. 6 2004 I have had a battery & brake light come on & off. On oct. 9 within the morning time frame the battery, brake, abs and airbag light came on right before I stopped at a stop sign. Once I came to a complete stop I pressed on the gas pedal and the car engine revved up but the Murano went no where. I shut off the car and turned it back on and the car did not want to start at all. I tried boosting it and the Murano did turn on but the car did not go anywhere. I did send it the nearest dealership and Nissan of jersey city, n. J. Did fix my problem in a very quick manner. It seemed to be a alternator problem. They have replaced my alternator with an updated version. Pe04077_cat.

I recently had my 2004 Murano at 12,000 miles towed to the dealership. The brake light and battery light went on, on the way to work in the morning and continued to be on all day. Being that there was no sign of trouble except for the warning light and no Nissan dealership in the area of where I work I proceeded through my day. I headed home and came to a stop sign and went to go accelerate and went no where as if I was in neutral. I idled to the side of the road so I could turn the truck on and off and still I could not accelerate. I idled to my house fortunately was around the corner and called the dealership. The service person asked if I could go in reverse so I tried and I could. I put it in drive and surprisingly was able to go forward so I was told to bring it in immediately. On my way to the dealership on the highway doing 65 to 70 in the evening traffic went to accelerate and went no where!!! I was in the middle of traffic doing 5 mph with no way getting to the shoulder which was so dangerous. Finally a kind person let me go idle to the side to where I could call a tow truck. As I was sitting waiting for a tow truck, I tried to turn the truck on but it would not turn over. It seems to me that this problem is not being remedied as it should be before a person losses a life. This is a serious problem that is continuing through the models. It is being over looked at the expense of the consumer. I am paying for a car that has a great reputation as I were to think. Pe04077_cat.

On the evening of Aug 4, 2004, I was driving home, noticed that the battery and brake light were illuminated on my new (6500 miles) Nissan Murano. I planned to take it to the local dealer the next day, as soon as I completed two unchangeable appointments. As I started to leave the parking lot on the second appointment, the vehicle would not accelerate. I called the dealer and my husband, who came to get me. The vehicle had to be towed. Diagnosis: failed alternator. Needless to say, I was not happy. They had to order the part, and the repair was finished on the following Tuesday, Aug 10. The service manager said he had previously had 4 or so failed alternators, and didn't understand why Nissan had not recalled the vehicles. The repair has been fine, the dealership loaned me a vehicle, even though I bought it out of town. Then I started to check the internet, and found that there are a lot of alternator failures. I am thankful that mine happed in a local parking lot instead of on the road.
