Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2007 Nissan Murano

The vehicle shuts off without warning. It happens every day and sometimes in the middle of traffic!.

I was driving and randomly lost power. No powersteering, no acceleration, no brakes, all of the lights on the dash turned on like the engine shut off, and the key was turned back to electrical (while in the middle of driving, I'm 100% sure the car turned off without the ignition key switching to off). This has happened about 5 times now. The code p0345 activated shortly after the second time it happened. It has happened when decelerating/braking, accelerating, and coasting, low and high speeds. I know there are other reports of this with Muranos on the internet and apparently happens to a few other Nissans. This started in early June, when the temperatures are above mid 80's.

I had to replace my altenator 3 times. I bought the car 2 years ago at 90,000 miles. When it first went out, I bought one from autozone, then 4 months later is went out. I had a warranty thru autozone on the parts so the part was replaced but I had to cover the labor cost. 2 months later the altenator replace it again but I wanted labor cost covererd this time. They agreed to cover the part and labor. There must be an electrical problem with these cars. I ve read other owners of the same car having the same issue. If Nissan doesn't fix this for free, I will never buy another of their cars because I can't believe multiple times. I had two different mechanic so it not the person, it's the car, I believe so. The other problem I've had it that the air duck intake hose keeps disconnecting, it will cause my car to miss file and run very ruff, like poor performance. It can make the car shut off while driving or at a stop sign.

I was traveling down the interstate, going about 70 mph. My vehicle didn't want to run properly. I was unaware of the issue, I thought it would straighten up after a few minutes. Well, my car just shut down. I was lucky I made it to the shoulder of the highway before an accident happened. I had it towed to the shop in the town I reside in. He diagnosed it, and said Nissan Muranos were known for this to happen. He put it back together, as it had separated. I did some personal research on the problem, and saw there was a recall campaign for the generation 1 Muranos (2003-2007), I then did a VIN # check, and there was no known recalls for my VIN. I also saw during research, that there were thousands of vehicles recalled for this issue. I reached out to Nissan consumer affairs, they made me aware there was nothing that could be done due to the age and mileage of the vehicle. I then made them aware this was a big safety hazard for myself, and other motorists. They then transferred the case to a regional case specialist. The regional specialist, again, told me there was nothing they could do. I then, explained the importance of this problem. The regional specialist then transferred me to a supervisor. The supervisor then called me back, and told me yet again, there was nothing that could be done. This is just unbelievable to me that just because, by policy, they won't cover repairs that could lead to the extent of taking someones life. I have told them everything I included in this report. Please advise.

I've only been driving my 2007 Nissan Murano car that I recently purchased used for 3 weeks. I was driving on the road and suddenly my car started jerking, shaking, smoking from under the hood then it abruptly stopped in the middle of traffic on a busy road. The car shut down and would not start again. I called the police, they blocked the lane I was in and called a local tow truck service that I had to pay for out of pocket because it was an emergency dangerous situation to get it off the road as soon as possible and the police could not chance to wait for my insurance company to send a tow service.
