Back in April my Murano would turn off whether I was accelerating or just sitting at a stop light, the brake light and battery light would come on and vehicle wouldnt start back up, ended up having it towed 3 different times to mechanic who couldnt figure out what was wrong because it wasnt showing any codes so from there had it towed to newton Nissan where it took them 10 days to diagnose it was the alternator (replaced battery first but that didnt work)ended up getting the Nissan alternator versus aftermarket for the warranty, get it back everything is fine, now in August alternator fails out again, back to newton Nissan we go, the replace "alternator" and when I get it back power steering isnt working so after the fixed that everything was fine until it started shutting off on me again like the very first time. Meanwhile ive had to pay over $1000 for the alternator work which was recalled however my VIN didnt fall under the recall. Engine compartment and hood of car are also so hot you cant touch them even after just driving 1 mile in 70 degreee weather however the temperature gauge isnt running high. Now the airbag light is flashing on and off upon starting. I tried cycling the engine nurmerous times but the light is still on. Nissan said they will have to replace whole unit for $5000 because they cant pin point airbag issue. Airbag issue isnt fixed and nobody can tell me if I have a working air bag or not. Im not sure if I need to contact an attorney because im now concerned about the safety of my 4 year old daughter while in the vehicle.

While driving on the highway the 2005 Murano slowed down, I pressed more firmly on the gas and it did nothing. I pulled onto the shoulder of the highway and the car had shut off completely. I tried restarting the Murano several times with no luck. I had to call for a flat bed tow truck which took 5 plus hours of me sitting in the freezing cold with no power in my car in the dead of winter. Vehicle was towed home and I was told I needed a new battery. I went to pep boys and purchased a brand new battery and had pep boys install it for me. The next night as I was driving my fiance to his house the 2005 Murano again lost momentum and within seconds shut down. And again I could not turn the vehicle back on. I had to call for another flat bed tow truck and wait luckily only 3 hours this time for them to show up. I had the vehicle towed to my mechanic who replaced the alternator in the vehicle and another new battery. That was in November of 2018, it is now febuary 2019 and I have not had any electrical issues since. Why is this not covered under the recall that there was for the 2005 Nissan Murano? I do not understand why they refuse to cover the cost when they had to recall hundreds of thousands of this car for this issue and yet mine was not included?????.

Fuel sensor says car is on empty but will never fill up past 1/2 tank. Alternator is out now & bad vibration when driving between 60-70mph so could possibly be u joint considering everything else has been done that would correct a vibration.

I was driving my 2005 Nissan Murano on the highway when the battery light and brake light came on. Few minutes later it wouldn't accelerate then stalled out and wouldn't start. After getting a jump it started up but wouldn't move. I can get the alternator but I'm still having the problem. Don't know what else to do. I can't keep it running long enough to take it in to be checked. Please help fix this issue.

This complaint relates to a closed recall for the 2005 Nissan Murano NHTSA campaign id number: 05v3190. Two months with the vehicle and I had transmission problems, where the vehicle lost power and drive-ability, bringing my passengers and myself to a harms way. I contracted aamco to replace the transmission, one month later, Nissan USA had to provide another transmission to replace the one changed one month before. Last Monday, July 06, 2015, while driving on the new jersey garden state parkway, the vehicle presented serious trouble, when the emergency brake, awd and abs warning lights came on, as the vehicle lost speed, transmission disengaged, putting my wife, myself and other vehicles around us in serious risk of accident. I managed to pull the vehicle to the shoulder and later to a near by friend`s house in the galloway area. After contacting Nissan USA regarding the transmission, they told me to contact aamco, since they installed the new transmission. Aamco checked the vehicle and found out that, the problem was caused by the alternator that heated up, dropped voltage to 12v DC and caused the safe mode to engage, by making the vehicle unsafe on the middle of the highway. Nissan USA claims that this NHTSA campaign has been closed, when it is to my believe that, it should be re-opened and not only me, but also many other Nissan Murano owners, that still confront such factory defective issues to have this issue resolved. I was lucky to be able to act fast enough and bring my vehicle to safes way, would all others be so lucky?.

My Nissan Murano 2005 SUV has been stopping in motion while driving agian, and this has happened more then 7 times in the past 2 months. But this time it happened on the 405 fwy with my children. The vehicle slowed down on the freeway and I had to find the right shoulder lane in call aaa. I checked the recalls on the internet for this car and there was recalls back in 2005 when I bought the vehicle and I didn't recieve a notices in the mail. I've called the Nissan hotline with no replies and emailed the company too; I was emailed back that there was a recall on the second row seat belts. This car is totally unsafe; plus vehicle has five recalls such as gas tank, set belt, engine and engine cooling, transmission, and alternator. I looked at the forum for the Nissan Murano in it seems like the same problem with the 2003-2005 models.

I was driving when all at about 30 mph when all of the sudden my lights (service engine, battery. ) on dashboard turn on and the speed of my car was reduced drastically. I was able to drive my car to a speed of no more than 5mph. I park and after that my car had to be tow away. I was told by Nissan dealership where I bought the car that it was the alternator and it had to be replaced. To my knowledge there is a recall for Nissan Murano 2005 alternators.

Nissan's recall on the 2005 Murano states that the vehicle falls into a "failsafe" condition which limits vehicle speed. Very shortly after this, the engine will stop running. . . Could result in a crash. My vehicle had done that 4 times. Two times in heavy traffic. You have about a minute to get to the shoulder before the vehicle stops. In that minute, the vehicle is rapidly decelerates to a crawl. I was nearly rear ended by a Toyota sequoia. Dominion Nissan "fixed" my vehicle and assured me it would not happen again. A few month later, as I neared my home, it happened again. The alternator was replaced pursuant to the recall notice. On January 11, 2008 I left work and headed for the interstate. The vehicle decelerated from 50mph to a crawl within about a minute. Dangerously made it to the shoulder. Had this happen several moment later I would have been trying to merge onto the interstate, in rush hour, in a construction zone. I could easily have been killed in such a circumstance. Nissan "fixed" the car again. It happened again on January 19, 2008. They want to "fix" it again. I said that they should replace the vehicle. I filed a complaint on Jan 21 by phone, Jan 27 by email and Jan 28 by letter. Nissan and the dealer have not responded.

Vehicle has entered "fail-safe" mode at least 8 times in the past year. Dealership has had the vehicle no less than 7 times following "fail-safe" events. Ground wire to ecm svc bulletin was completed. Recalled alternator was replaced (after 4th event). Airbag sensor and airbag spiral cable were replaced following separate events. Currently, carmd tool is giving a p2135 error code, and states that latest event was caused by throttle position sensor/switch and/or an "a" /"b" electrical voltage correlation error. All "fail-safe" mode events occurred during high-speed (55-65 mph) traffic on multi-lane highways, with the exception of the latest event. Three times, entry into "fail-safe" mode created extremely hazardous situations and near-accidents. Each time, after the ignition was switched off, the vehicle has restarted in normal operating mode, but the mil came on and stayed on until vehicle was serviced by dealership.

My 6-month pregnant wife was driving our new Murano when all the sudden the car's service engine light went on and the car wouldn't go beyond a few miles an hour on the interstate. Although she made it home safe, when we had it towed to the dealer they told us that there was nothing wrong with the car. Since their computer didnt recognize a problem, the technician wouldnt look at it. A few weeks later, the same thing happened again to us and when we took it in again the dealer seemed ignorant of the recall. We received the recall notice in between incidents and couldnt get an appt right away. When I showed him the form, he said that the alternator probably didnt need to be replaced but that they'd look at it. It's frustrating that we have to fight so much to get this issue resolved.

The caller stated while driving at 55 mph the headlights came on and the engine stalled. The caller took vehicle to the dealer, and was told there was a recall on the alternator, and the dealer replaced it. 10 days later the vehicle stalled again. The caller had a close call. Dealer said he was too busy to look at vehicle . Dealer had vehicle since Saturday and he has not looked at it yet. Manufacturer said they will get back to the caller in a few days.

The current description has to do with mechanical defects: I leased a brand new 2005 Nissan Murano in April 2005, and in August of that year the car had major mechanical malfunctions that included: abs light came on , internal failure of abs actuator, and right front abs sensor, engine probelms with loss of power, and acceleration . Nono current through pin connectors. Had to replace ecm. Engine light came on , internal failure to throttle body, all wheel drive light came on. They replaced the alternator, I also had internal failure of a/c amplifier. My car was in the shop from 8/5/05 - 9/13/05 a total of 39 days! I called Nissan about complying with the lemon law and to now they have declined to cooperate. I am currently seeking legal representation in this matter.
