general problems of the 2009 Nissan Murano

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission started slipping. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 216,000.

When starting my vehicle, it would shake and hesitate to turn on. While driving, it would hesitate when accelerating. When driving at 70 miles, the vehicle would hesitate then drop 3 to 4 miles below speed on its own. The dashboard would indicate drive mode then change to reverse mode then back to drive mode, then reverse mode continuously while driving. The car was also making a loud clanking noise. When I was at a standstill at a red light with foot on the brake, the car was jerking forward on its own. I was driving the car with my 2 year old when this happened and decided to take it to a mechanic who confirmed that it is a transmission problem as well as a broken axle on the left. I left the car at his shop and started shopping around for a transmission replacement which is very costly. My concern is, if this has been a faulty issue with 2009 Nissan Murano transmissions, then it is likely that this can happen again if I purchase a used transmission which at this time, I cannot afford so it is sitting at the mechanics repair shop until I either save money for a transmission or use the money to get a better used vehicle. At this time I have to take my mom to work and use her car so I can go to work. I’ve been doing this for the past 2 weeks and unsure as to how much longer I can keep doing this as our work hours are conflicting.

My car hesitates then launches after a stop. It is the cvt transmission I assume. It is not safe when I am accelerating into traffic or trying to merge. Only 132,000 miles on the car.

This has happened on two different occasions. While driving the vehicle the alternator has gone out and there is no warning that there is any problem but you lose your throttle control and the car loses power and is unable to accelerate. The 1st time this happened I was in the middle of an intersection trying to make a left turn and lost all power to be able to move the car. Luckly no one was coming in the other direction, or I could have been involved in a serious accident!!! I had the alternator check and it was bad, so we replaced it. The second time this happened was two days ago I was doing 65 mph on a four-lane highway and without any warning I lost power and could not accelerate I was able to pull to the side of the road, but m emergency flashers were of no use due to the battery was low because the entire car was using it for power. The car has no gauge or light of any type to warn you that the alternator has failed till you lose power and are unable to accelerate.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission seal. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic, who confirmed the diagnosis and advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, who diagnosed failures with the axel seals, rear differential axle seal, and left tpms sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 139,000.

While trying to make a turn in a busy intersection, the car stall and loses power it goes into a limp mode. The car slowly limps out of traffic to the side. Note vdc off and 2 red - neg sign brake light is on. Turn the ignition off for a few minutes. Turn ignition back on and no problem. The car starts up no problem. I had the brakes check out and no issues. I took to Nissan dealership . They said it is the alternator. I had new alternator put in 6 months ago. Took back to the company who put the alternator on he said it is working. They said this car notorious for the cvt transmission issues. This problem has happen twice in traffic. This is not safe. . . . I am afraid to drive this car.

My 2009 Nissan Murano had a bad battery and starter, after replaced them the abs/vdc/slip control light were illuminated and abs function lost. I searched online and found a lot of the Murano owners had the same issue by just replacing a battery then got these dtcs. At the end we found Nissan know this issue and issue a TSB for repair with customer's expense. They know this is factory issue but not recall it or even not notify their customer, it's safety issue and still need the customer to search it and repair with the customer's money (to pay their faults). TSB: ntb10-113a.

When stopped at stop lights or even a stop sign & it's my time to go my vehicle will "creep" at a snail's pace regardless of my position on the gas petal, then all of a sudden jerk & take off fast. On 2 occasions my vehicle would not even go when the turn light went to green & I quickly shifted to "l" where it did take off & the rooms jumped to 5000 & after getting out of heavy traffic I put it back in drive. This issue occurs randomly & I've had a verbal conversation with a mechanic in my family that says, my 2009 Murano has a cvt transmission, they are very costly to replace. I only have 159,000 miles on my Murano & I drive my autistic grandson to school & home only. I'm only bringing this to your attention to fund out if I'm the only person that has had issues with the cvt transmission bc a $4-$5000 new transmission is impossible for us. This has been happening off & on for about 6 months.

As with the current Nissan recall the car just shutoff. On two separate occasions, one at highway speed on a high speed heavy traffic road and once of a neighborhood road. Both times spontaneously and without any warning or trouble lights or indications of a problem. Vehicles was towed and serviced at a Nissan dealership. . Both incidents were extremely dangerous one to get to shoulder in high speed traffic and to exit vehicle next to traffic and the other at night in a dark neighborhood. Dealer was without explanation on cause so we dont know if the problem is fixed or not. Prior request #602941.

The cvt transmission malfunctions and vehicle enters failsafe 'limp' mode when transmission is at peak operating temperature (approximately 20 minutes of stop and go acceleration from a cold vehicle). Vehicle begins to shutter (shake) when accelerating from a stop. The shuttering during acceleration progressively gets worse to a point the vehicle enters a failsafe 'limp' mode. Once in failsafe 'limp' mode you absolutely have no acceleration and vehicle travels approximately 2-3 mph. This puts the occupants of the vehicle in grave danger, especially in scenarios while in a left turn lane with 50 mph oncoming traffic that I had to experience with my family. The brought the vehicle to the dealership and they indicated that the vehicle requires a new transmission; $5,000. The vehicle has a current market value of $5,000. Nissan will not cover the costs of the repair. Cvt transmission defects are a known problem and Nissan extended the warranty for the cvt transmission to 10 years / 120,000 miles. My vehicle is 11. 5 years old and at 127,000 miles and they will not cover the cost of repair.

Total loss of electrical power while driving. Engine dies lights go out vehicle rolls to a stop. Put vehicle in park and electrical power return with no further action. Please look in to this as my wife is now scared to drive her car at all. 2 occurrences in the past 2 weeks. No recalls shown but other years of this vehicle show same complaint. Of this.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. When the vehicle accelerated, there was a loss of power and a delay at times before finally gaining speed. In other instances, the vehicle had a drastic reduction in speed. The alternator assembly was replaced more than twice, but the failure continued. The vehicle was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 05v319000 (electrical system); however, the vehicle exhibited the same failure as the recall campaign. Moses Nissan (300 maccorkle Ave, st albans, wv 25177, (304) 727-2921) was notified of the failure. In addition, the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 18v916000 (service brakes, hydraulic), but a repair appointment had not been scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

In June 2018, my car started stopping suddenly while driving. I took it to the mechanic who change my alternator. The problem persists. I change my brakes, still the problem persists. I took my car to the dealer , they informed me that my car has abs module recalled and that was the problem. They changed it. The car could not drive out of the parking lot thus, I returned it to the service center. They diaganed transmission issues, they said they fix it. The car stop within three blocks and on the highway. I returned it back to Nissan service center, now, they said it's the alternator. I informed them that I have the alternator changed lest than 30 days. The car is a lemon because of the abs module that Nissan canot fix or unable to fix. Every time that car is in motion, the abs light turn on and the car stops abrutly. I have two teenagers who drives my car to go to school. It becomes a hazard and unsafe due to the recall of the abs module .

Cvt transmission is skipping. Cannot drive the vehilce. It is broken down more than I drive it. Only 109,000 mileage.

I have less than 57,000 miles on my 2009 Murano. At 46,000 miles, I had to have my failed transmission replaced and I'm having issues again with it slipping into low gear. The dealership couldn't reproduce the issue, so nothing has been done to address it. I had to take my Murano in for service again because I almost got into an accident when my brakes didn't work at 30 mph and I had to quickly change lanes to avoid an accident. There wasn't any brake pressure and I had to push the brake peddle to the floor before it stopped.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated when started. The contact also stated that the vehicle went backwards when the contact attempted to move forward. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the alternator drained the battery. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (Nissan of rosekind, louisiana) where the software was updated, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,000.

After I purchased the car 2-17-17, I began have delayed acceleration when pulling out into traffic from a full stop or after coming to a near stop. This happened occasionally at first, but has become more and more regular. While driving at a slow speed the other day behind a few cars, I was unable to get the car to accelerate for close to a minute. Also, occasionally after reaching a higher gear, the transmission seems to stick in a lower gear.

Transmission problem. Car will not accelerate after stop. When press the gas petal car will jerk and not speed. Sometime restarting will work. It happened in freeway during idle traffic.

Getting rumbling noise when vehicle is running on low gears. Happening from last 3 years. Online found other complaining the same problem.

It does not accelerate from a stop very well. Sometimes I try to pull into traffic and cannot accelerate fast enough and feel terribly frightened that I will be hit from behind as a result. It seems to be worse when going uphill. After 5 seconds maybe it kicks in and begins accelerating. This is an extremely dangerous problem. I feel like it will cause an accident.

Failure with 2009 Nissan Murano tranfer case after 60,000 miles seems to be a big problem and Nissan is not taking responsibility , causing the customer thousands of dollars for repairs, seems that their is a defect , where you hear a humming noise coming from your front passenger side tire and no check engine light to alert you some thing is wrong until you shows up at a dealer ship to check out the noise and get bang for $3000, this a con game Nissan is using to ripoff hard american working people, this con game need to be investgated, since their are so many complaints from Murano owners about this existing problem .

In stop and go traffic, the air conditioner had the sweet smell of maple syrup and a few minutes later the check engine light came on. Within seconds, the car stuttered each time I attempted to accelerate. Once out of traffic, I looked and saw a large amount of coolant dripping from the car. The car was towed to the dealer who confirmed coolant built up pressure in radiator, hoses and transmission. Cvt transmission is flooded with coolant and water, radiator and all hoses will need replacement.

Purchase a 2009 Nissan Murano was told it had a branded title from carfax. Called 1800nissan 1 before I purchase the vehicle and asked them to run the VIN number and the lady was able to tell me the whole history but said they had no record that it was a factory buyback said probably a mistake with the state who titled the car. Transmission went out which is still covered by Nissan and they said they will not cover it because the car was branded and admitted to me on a recorded line the person I talked to gave me false information. All she could say was sorry there is nothing Nissan will do for me. I learned the car was bought back because of the airbags and with two small children I would have never purchase this vehile knowing that. Nissan does not want to assist me in any way. Ive worked in the car industry for 16 years and I made sure to call to find out what issues that vehicle had and bought it becuase the rep I talked to at Nissan said there was no record it was ever purchased back or never told me it had airbag problem. The lady admitted her rep told me wrong info and all I can get is sorry and now im going to be out $3800 for a new transmission. Its wrong and Nissan need to do something better then sorry for me. If I had this information from Nissan when I called would have never purchased this car. Please help me any way you can thanks.

My 2009 Nissan Murano will hesitate for 10-20 seconds while I driving down the road or heading up hill. I took it to the escondido Nissan dealership and they stated that my transmission needed to be replaced. They replaced it at a great cost to me, but I am experiencing the same hesitation. It is dangerous because my car will stop for no good reason, causing those behind me to have to slam on their brakes. Nissan states that because I received an upgraded transmission and upgraded parts, I can expect this sort of hesitation from here on out. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle and Nissan is not repairing my vehicle in order to make it safe.

When vehicle is accelerated from a stop, loud thump is felt and heard from floorboard. Nissan dealer refused to cover replacement of cracked front end motor mounts. Other Murano owners report the same problem. This is an obvious safety issue.

The vehicle cvt becomes unstable. Vehicle unexpectedly loses power at times. Got off highway ramp and came to a normal stop. Stepped on accelerator to move into traffic. Vehicle hesitated and crawled slowely into traffic for 5 to 10 seconds before surging forward with accelerator to the floor. Nearly t-boned on several occasions. Have gone through 4 transmissions so far and the dealership is contemplating another replacement. I have no confidence another transmission will fix the problem since the same dangerous failure mode keeps showing up totally without warning.
