Drivers seat is not sitting right almost seems like it came unhinged. Driving on a short distance trip I noticed that every time I needed to turn and it the road was windy I could smell fuel and it seems like I was loosing gas as I was driving like it was punchard or spilling some how. . I'm no mechanic but as a pregnant woman I was absolutely nauseous from going only an hour away. Also it seemed like I would periodically loose power and at one point actually had to pull over and let the vehicle air out and cool down. Seems like the was a situation with the coolant as well had to replace the cap and it looks as though that had been a issue with the previous owner as well.

My 2006 Nissan Murano stopped in the middle of the road with no warning. I was almost rear ended by several cars and I had both of my kids in the backseat of the car. This is the third time that my car just dies while I was driving. This is so dangerous I hope Nissan corrects this problem before someone gets killed.
Sitting in traffic and when I go to take off no power. Engine is still running but no power to go. Turn engine off start it back up put it in drive and it go's just fine.
I had my transmission replaced under the extended warranty after it failed. In the following week, the car began to spew smoke from the transmission area. Took it back to south side Nissan in vancouver, bc who replaced the transfer case seals (where the axle meets the transmission case). Another week passes and the same problem repeats, car smoking heavily from transmission area. Took it back to Nissan who is now stating that the seals inside the transfer case have failed and the work is not warrantied. I strongly feel that this is Nissan's way to side step having to do the repair a 3rd time and am in disbelief that the issue is not due to their work.
The vehicle began to sputter and then had loss of power. Transfer case assembly and cvt are damaged.
My 2006 Nissan Murano was purchased used March 2013. Since then, I have put over $4,000 worth of repairs into it and I am still having problems. The latest issue is the car having no power when pushing on the accelerator and it will surge when you finally get it to go. I've replaced fuel filter, catalytic converters, transfer case just to name a few of the repairs. I am in the repair shop at least 2x/month! now I read where there are many others having the same problem and Nissan ignoring the complaints! I now have a car I am making a huge car payment on that I cannot drive! plus I do not have the money to replace the transmission! I work in hospice and I drive to see patients every day and now I have no vehicle!!!! so it is now affecting not only my personal life but my work environment!!!!.
Vehicle has problems with accelation between 40mph and over. Was told it that the cvt tranmission was bad and had transmission replace and now just after picking up vehicle and driving home, vehicle is still having the same problem.

This complaint is on the 2006 Nissan Murano, on 5/29/10 my grandmother and myself got into the veh when I turned the veh on there was a burning smell I checked under the hood and saw nothing I got back in and checked the dashboard to see if there was any maintenance issue and saw nothing. As we were getting out of the vehicle my grandmother stated she felt heat on the area of the armrest. I came inside for no more than 5 mins and when I came back out the interior of the vehicle was on fire between the front passenger seats I immediately called 911 as a result of this fire the veh was a total loss. I have pics of the aftermath showing that the trunk hatch melted and that the interior was nothing but the frame. Up until 5/29/10 there was no indication that anything was wrong when there is a maintenance issue a green wrench pops up on the dashboard screen and the only time that popped up was when the tire rotation maintenance was due. The only maintenance that I have had done on the vehicle since purchasing on 11/07/10 was an oil change, the other scheduled maintenance was for 4/17/10 for a tire rotation which was not done because the service technician put down for an oil change which was not needed, I had scheduled this appt online and it was also confirmed online what I was coming in to have done. The mechanic did an oil change and I explained to him I was not due for an oil change he told me the 2 tires would soon need to be replaced on the vehicle therefore there was no need to rotate an he reset the monitor on the veh. I have spoken with the mgr of Nissan passport to discuss the damages to the veh and he said I would have to speak with Nissan about the manufacturing. I have been trying to speak with a consumer affairs rep since about 6/3/10, when I call I am placed on holdam placed over 20 minutes and still have not been able to file a complaint.
