4 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2019

I noticed my Nissan Murano losing acceleration when taking off. When it finally catches up it rides fine. That is so dangerous especially living in the city with freeways and traffic! also my air is not working. I took it to a dealer, air compressor was fine, they recharged the system with freon and it still didn't work. I need some kind of relay switch for $500. I feel like I'm paying for a lemon at 85,000 miles!.

5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2019

Vehicle's convertible top stops working (while stationary) in mid operation when pressing button to either opening or closing top. Vehicle is not safe to drive while top is stuck and dashboard warning light is beeping notifying top is not secured. Vehicle has been taken to both the dealership and to place of purchase (carmax). And is currently at a Nissan dealership now and has been there since 4/25/19. As of today 6/5/19 they have stated their final analysis determines the wire convertible top wire harness needs replacing because after multiple analysis they have determined the wire harness can't be repaired and that the warranty company is declining this electrical replacement. The top has randomly gotten stuck numerous and unpredictable times, whether at home, at work, a public parking lot, at the grocery store, at a stop light, etc. , and I can't continue to safely drive the car when it malfunctions. So I'm not able to safely and confidently use it. Help me please.

So dangerous, when kids are in the car, and I couldn't move it out of harm's way. See uploaded document for details. No way to put in neutral to move. Husband couldn't get out of car.

I have noticed on numerous occasions this summer, a crackling sound in lower portion of the front windshield. I actually remember hearing it last summer but it is now more audible. The warm weather must be a factor. I have also experienced problems with my keyless fob, it does not always work and my ignition an rear lift gate sometimes will operate even when the fob is within 3 feet. This has occurred several times over the past 2 months. I took it to Nissan and they could not find the problem. I purchased the car brand new in Aug. 2011. No accidents.
