The contact's husband owns a 2011 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving up an incline at approximately 35 degrees and making a sharp left turn, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact then stated that he attempted to apply more pressure but the vehicle failed to accelerate and moved at slow pace. The contact then stated that after he was in the driveway, he placed the shifter in park then back in drive position but the vehicle hesitated then failed to accelerate. No warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer nor the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 131,000.
My door locks began to fail intermittently when I try to enter or exit the vehicle. On 2/13/16 I got into the vehicle late at night, cranked it, put it in drive, and began to pull off when the vehicle totally shut down and would not crank(leaving me stranded, at night, in freezing wrather). The vehicle would not restart. It would only click. . . . Then eventually do nothing. Later that evening we attempted again. It would not start until we hit the lock bitton on the remote. (battery previously replaced). This is clearly a defect with Nissans as seen on many complaint forums. All 4 actuators failing are rediculous. I was told by a mechanic (not associated with Nissan but has had to work many of the same issues with their vehicles) that it is a security system issue and the vehicle actually thinks you are stealing it so it shits down. Hopefully, it won't think that while I am traveling on the interstate. Please investigate. The next day, it wouldn't start.
Less than 100,000 miles on the car, 4 engine mounts are cracked, never off road, used for commuting and travel on highways. On chat board for Murano owners, found several other instances of cracked motor mounts, happening as early as approximately 30,000 miles. Not sure of date occurring but told at oil change service Nissan of bakersfield about engine mount problem, I think on 12/22/15.
Started going 70-60 mph on freeway and car suddenly stopped accelerating causing me to move quickly to the other side of the freeway. I think it may be the alternator, not sure yet.
