general problems of the 2013 Nissan Murano

2013 Nissan Murano (81,000 miles): engine warning light came on, code check revealed "mass airflow senser" while waiting for dealer appointment car was running fine with no issues other than warning light. I was driving the car at 40 mph and the car came to a complete stop "as if engine was turned off". There was no warning. No breaks, no steering. Car was almost in ditch but I managed to force steering back onto road (I was the only one at risk). Car restarted as though no problem had occurred. Research revealed same issue with other model years.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Murano. While driving 65 mph, the check engine indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact searched online and found that there were three open recalls associated with the VIN. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (all pro Nissan of dearborn, 24501 michigan Ave, dearborn, mi 48124). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 423,000.

I too had the smell of anit-freeze from my engine compartment. I took it to Nissan dealer and they (master & regular mechanic) said the same thing. The anti-freeze used in they're new cars is a totally different blend from those used in years past. It's a sweeter smelling blend. They have received several complaints about it as well as visits to the dealerships about it and there's nothing to do. It's considered the new normal and there is nothing to worry about. This is to reply to complaint filed by a owner from turlock, CA. Nhtsa I. D. # 10649051 incident date: 06/21/2014 complaint date: 10/21/2014. I haven't had any problem with the vehicle since.

When stopped on an uphill in drive, car rolls backward when I step off the brake before I can step on the gas. On a steep hill, requires coordinating keeping one foot on brake while stepping on gas to move forward. Tested on an empty hill, car rolled back all the way down until I braked. Test drove with dealer's technician, he said this was normal operation "feature" of this transmission. If so, is this what I tell the car behind me on the hill when I roll into it. . Or the child who scoots behind me to catch the school bus? definitely a safety issue!!.
