3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2019

Last week was almost in an accident when my car completely turned off while waiting at a light at night. I was almost hit several times. Last year I had the alternator replaced. This time I had the cam shift sensors replaced. Guess what? it happened all over again in one week. People are going to die. My vehicle lost its ability to even have its hazard buttons on. My vehicle is under no recall. How can this company get away with this? can they at least tell us what is wrong, so that we can fix it?.

Vehicle shut-off without warning while driving on the roads and freeway. Had to immediately put neutral restart engine several times. Took it to the dealership in bellevue ne and they only replaced the duct vent tube from the air filter. I had mentioned that it has a code on odb2 scanner cam sensor and they don't have a recall for it. Please need a safe car for me and my family.

5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2014

The engine struggles to start on a Nissan Murano 2005. The mechanic claims the crank engine sensor is at fault. The Nissan dealer said the part is made of plastic and known to wear out. Nissan has fixed the problem for newer cars by changing the material that is used. If Nissan is aware this problem exists, shouldn't this be a recall? the mechanic warned me the engine could fail while driving. Users on online forums have indicated having the car fail while driving whether it's at high speeds or on local roads.

6 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2013

My vehicle caught fire as I proceeded to pull away from a curbside parking space. I turned my wheel to the far left as I proceeded away from the curb and that is when I heard a pop sound, saw white smoke spewing from the front right side of the vehicle, then I saw the flames. Five days prior to the incident, I had front brake pads and resurfaced rotors placed on the vehicle. Within the past 30 days the only other maintenance performed on the vehicle was a standard oil change.

I've been having problems with this car every month since I bought it in 2011 from arrow motors inc, 2225 wakeling st phila PA 19137. The never disclose to me of the issues. If they ran a car fax I would have know. It wasn't until recently when I attempted to sell the car and was informed through car fax that it was in 5 accidents. If I had known this I would have never bought the car. This is completely unjust.

Our car is starting the surging thing and acts like it is going to turn off then zooms off. I never realized the cvt cause so many people issues. The cowards at Nissan not stepping forward are going to realize real quick they should have been loyal to their customers! I along with a lot of other folks will not be going back to Nissan!.

Lifter link assembly broke on my 2005 Nissan Murano. Took the car in for servicing and when I picked it up the seat was broken. The dealership fixed it because it was covered under my extended warranty. Still had to pay the $50. 00 deductible, because there was no recall. I understand that I am not the only one who has experienced this problem.

13 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2007

Since lease of vehicle in July 2005, many problems. Most recent is lack of acceleration at random times. Vehicle was fixed and in less that a week of it returned to me, problem happened again. I do not have any warning that the car will cease to accelerate. It is not a safe vehicle to drive, especially with my children or others children in the car. I am afraid for my children's lives as well as my own when I am driving this vehicle. The vehicle required a new engine when it was slightly more than a year old, it has had many other things wrong with it, however this is the most serious and possibly deadly.
