When driving at a slow speed and applying full brakes, the car rather than stopping quickly took more time to stop and thus resulted in an accident - collided with the car in front. There was a recall for this car in 2019 for exactly this problem - r1814. Apparently, the fix the dealer has performed didn’t alleviate the problem. I sincerely request you to perform a thorough assessment of the recommended fix for this recall to safeguard others from this serious safety issue. Also, if possible, I request you to arrange for assessment of my vehicle to confirm if my abs concerns are true which I truly believe they’re.

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.

Brake pedal now goes to floor before brakes engage. This occurred after stopping suddenly. Mechanic changed master cylinder and bled system but no change. No warning lamps on dashboard.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while her granddaughter was driving 15 mph and slowing down for a traffic light, the brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to slow as needed. The contact stated that the vehicle stopped in the middle of the intersection. The contact stated that her granddaughter was not aware if a warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic determined that the front calipers, brake pads, brake lines, and rotors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the brake failure persisted. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 18v916000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 159,000.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that upon depression of the brake pedal, additional brake pedal travel time would be required to stop the vehicle as the brake pedal would depress to the floorboard. The contact described the brake as feeling "spongy" upon depression and that no warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact initially contacted an independent mechanic who bled the brake lines; however, the failure persisted. The contact then called the dealer who linked the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 18v916000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the contact was given an estimate for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred him back to the dealer for assistance. The dealer agreed to repair the vehicle under recall; however, the failure remained. The contact then took the vehicle to another independent mechanic who repaired the brake master cylinder and the brake booster; however, despite these repairs, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was called back and offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

The brake pedal gets really stiff, hard to depress and the brakes gradually engage until they almost stop the vehicle. All the brakes get extremely hot when this occurs.

My vehicle inspection report on 01/04/2021 recall advisory stated "your vehicle has one or more recalls". I followed all instructions and found that there is a problem with my nc valve.

Took in my vehicle this morning to get 4 recalls fixed, and dealership stated they could only fix one of the 4 issues. Spoke to a representative and she stated the issues for the model of the SUV were not included in the VIN number, therefore the dealership couldn't assist with all 4 issues. The lights on the dashboard of the SUV are on and all pertain to the 4 issues not included in the VIN. How can I get these included in the VIN number so the dealership can fix the issues? the issues are as follow: NHTSA campaign number: 18v916000 NHTSA campaign number: 09v393000 NHTSA campaign number: 08v521000 NHTSA campaign number: 08v066000.

Brake system brakes locked all 4. When I drive it sounded like rattling once I made it home backed up it jerked then call a mechanic and he said brakes are locked dnt drive.

I was driving the car and stopped at a red light. When I hit the gas to go when the light turned green the car would not go. It took about 20 seconds before it would go and when it did it acted like I had my foot on the gas pedal which I did not. It has done this numerous times. I replaced the fuel pump and took it to a mechanic twice. Nothing that has been done has fixed the problem. I have almost been rear ended several times due the fact that the car stalls.

Nissan preformed work on this vehicle for recall # recall 18v916000. A year later the same exact problem occurred and Nissan says we are now responsible for the bill because they only have to attempt to fix recalls once.

There was a stabilizer that was not connected on the right front side. Found out when I was in the mechanics. As for the brakes they have worn down quickly and had problems. Including a driver side rear line. The tire pressure warning light remains on even when tires are balanced.

Brake pedal goes to floor when trying to stop.

The vehicles power steering goes in and out as well as the braking system.

I am reporting a complain about Nissans negligence. Nissan did not informed me about outstanding recall (abs hcu) for this vehicle which was issued late 2018. I only knew because I brought my vehicle to my trusted mechanic for braking issues on 08. 20. 2019 who informed me that there is an outstanding recall for this vehicle.

Brakes feel very soft and spongy after previous recall to swap dot3 brake fluid with dot 4 brake fluid.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. While driving approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle still came to a stop. The contact stated that the failure occurred on a daily basis for six months.

Sent Nissan a certified letter dated 2-20-19 concerning NHTSA recall 18v-916 with all appropriate documentation. The letter and documentation were certified mail and I received receipt back from Nissan. They had 30 days to respond and they did not. Sent e mailt to Nissan in franklin TN. On 3-18-2019. A email was sent out to me on 3-19-19 requesting I send documentation. They are making this as hard as possible to receive . . How about some help from nhsta.

Theres a recall on the brakes.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. While driving various speeds over bumps in the road, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard, when it was depressed, and did not immediately stop the vehicle. Also, the abs indicator would illuminate occasionally. The dealer was not called. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that there was no remedy for the failure. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

This is my second complaint. In January my brakes went soft when the abs kicked in during an emergency braking situation. I reported that issue then. At that time Nissan was in denial mode about this situation. Working with Nissan and a local dealer, I was told that they "reprogrammed" my abs. I was charged $75 and sent on my way. Earlier this week, it happened again. I was driving and hit a patch of ice. The car in front of me spun off, then back on the road causing me to have to brake hard, and because of the ice, the abs kicked in. My brakes were then soft (required going all the way to the floor to stop) until I reached a place to stop and could pump them back up. This time there is a voluntary service campaign for the issue so I took it back in to a different dealership. Nissan drained the brake system and replaced the dot 3 fluid with dot 4, but the mechanic said the real fix is probably replacing the actuator. However, they won't cover that service (confirmed by calling Nissan customer service, though, apparently if you had it replaced prior to the campaign, they will consider reimbursing you. ) and it costs nearly $3000. So, in effect, the service campaign is really just a marketing campaign to drive people into dealerships in order to charge them thousands of dollars to fix a known safety issue with this year and model of vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. While the contact's spouse was driving, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle failed to stop and traveled into an intersection. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 65,000.

When approaching a red light on a local road, my vehicle slowed down but did not come to a complete stop. The brake pedal provided no resistance and therefore was applied to the floor of the vehicle. As a result, my car passed through the intersection at approximately 10mph. Upon immediate inspection by a technician, the brake fluid was flushed and replaced with dot 4 fluid. Three months later, the same issue occurred while on the highway. The brake pedal lacked resistance, was applied to the floor of the car, and the car did not come to a complete stop until it was turned off while on the highway at a speed of 10mph. Under a Nissan brake fluid service campaign, the brake fluid was once again flushed, replaced with dot 4 fluid, and abs was inspected. Dealer was unable to identify the issue since the inspection passed and states the abs was most likely activated in both incidents without cause. No further effort is being provided. Upon filing a case with Nissan consumer affairs, Nissan is unable to replace the actuator per the service campaign since tests passed and dealer is unable to replicate scenario. Nissan and the dealer are both unable to identify the issue and unwilling to provide assurance that the brakes are safe to operate. They concluded testing procedures were followed and have no additional steps to be taken. This is unacceptable in terms of not identifying why the abs was activated without cause and subsequently putting consumer lives at risk. After 2 dangerous incidents and poor customer service, I lack confidence in the Nissan brand, will not purchase again and would advise others of the same.

When vehicle is in motion and we brake, pedal goes almost to floor. Nissan dealership diagnosed abs actuator is defective. There is a recall on certain 09 Muranos, but dealer tells us ours is not in recall and will cost us 2600.

Two major problems I've had with my Murano are the brakes loosing pressure causing me not to be able to brake in time, caused an accident on a roundabout. The second is the steering wheel lock column going out, causing my not to be able to start the vehicle.

Brake pedal is very low all the time just bought car last week. Brakes are not very safe.

The abs system on my 2009 Nissan Murano does not work, it led to an accident. I have read up on this and this seems to be a recurring problem with Nissan Murano 2009-2015 models. It is unacceptable that a car company can get away with this and then take the stance that they are not responsible.
