The battery has been replaced twice in the vehicle and it has less than 35,000 miles on it. The first replacement was done when the car was only about 6 months old and I just recently had to have the battery replaced again. The second battery was supposed to be an 84,000 mile battery and was under warranty. However, when I was driving it, the car died on me and would not start again. The battery had less than 26,000 miles on it. Nissan fought us on the replacement even though it was under warranty, but we finally got another one put in. We are on our 3rd battery in less than 3 years. This same vehicle had an engine mount crack at 32,000 miles and has also had the radiator replaced at 34,000 miles. It has been in the shop 4 times now in the last 2 1/2 months. When the radiator went out, the gauges did not even say that the car was running hot. I discovered the issue when my car started smoking everywhere and coolant was all over my vehicle. Nissan insists that it is not an electrical issue of any kind and that the gauge can still read cool if the radiator goes out and the car is smoking. All in all, I now have the 3rd new battery, a new radiator, and a new engine mount. The drive belts have also cracked, but Nissan refused to do anything about that.

The battery used in Nissan Murano 2007 is defective and goes down within 12 - 36 months for most vehicles. When most of the batteries in the us provide at least 36 months of warranty, Nissan made its own policy to cover 100% only for 1st 12 months, and then start prorated charges. They conceal the defect during a sale/lease, but it's very common. I had to pay $75 in order to replace the battery that is only 24 months old. They replaced with another defective Nissan battery, and refused to replace with a reputable battery such as interstate. I stayed at the dealership for about an hour and saw four similar suvs came in, all with the same complain. I spoke to some Nissan owners and they all agreed that their batteries went down just after 12 months. Nissan used to offer 36 months warranty till 2005, and then started to reduce the warranty, and now it is only for 12 months. They should refund my payment as well as to other owners who were forced to replace the battery within 36 months as the company claims bumper to bumper coverage for this period. Then they should replace with a reputable battery such as interstate until they fix the problem of their battery.

The air bag indicator light is flashing in the dash again. I had this problem fixed once before while still under warranty at the north little rock dealership. On leaving the garage within just a mile, I made a left turn and heard a crunching noise in the steering column and it came back on. I went strait back and they said they would fix it but the (second replacement part) wouldn't be in till the next day so I was given a loaner for one day. Now it's back on again. Also noted shortly after the warranty expired that the lumbar support on the drivers side no longer inflates/deflates and hasn't worked since. I have had all recalls fixed and had to replace the battery at 37,000 miles at my cost. Also had to have the dealership resurface both front rotors and replace a rear caliper under warranty that had locked up 1 & 1/2 years ago. I see that the front rotors are in need of resurfacing again even though the break pads have 1/2 of there wear left to go. Due to the highly chromed /curved dipstick, getting an accurate oil level reading is not possible at any time, so the dipstick has only been removed three time since purchasing it as it is a pointless endeavor. I own six autos that range in age from 1972 threw this 2005 Murano and of all of them, the Murano is the least trusted one. I will never own another Nissan.

My family and I were driving our vehicle and were at a light. Our vehicle shook very hard when I applied the gas. Car would not go more than 5 miles and hour. We were on our way to the highway when it happened. Took the car home. Had it towed to dealership. They discovered that the transmission fluid had leaked out of the car. We were given three reasons for the problem. Reason 1: "o" ring on hose broke (covered under warranty) reason 2: dealer called back with a second reason. They said acid leaked from the bottom of the battery onto the transmission. (not under warranty) reason 3: when we picked up the car we were told that the battery was leaking from the top because the battery was overcharging itself. We were told that another Murano had experienced the exact same problem (battery leaking acid to transmission). Since it happened to our car and another we questioned the safety not to mention how does a battery overcharge itself. Sounds like something is causing the car to do this. Talked to dealers consumer people. Basically told us that it can't be disputed if car was fixed. Even though dealer confirmed happen to our vehicle and another (one has to wonder if it happened to another). Family and I thought it was important to report if nothing else to help track if this truly is a design issue.

To date, we have had numerous problems with our 2003 Murano. We have replaced the throttle body, motor mount, battery, tcm and transmission. On July 21, 2006 our Murano made a loud noise then quit moving. We had it towed to the dealership where they stated it needed a new tcm. That did not fix the problem so they said we needed a new transmission. We had 64,000 miles. Since then we had the car for one day and took it back for yet a new problem with the rear axle.

While driving down one of the busiest 8 lane highways in tampa my car decided that it didn't want to stay cranked and died right smack in the middle of the intersection. Luckily, my room mate was behind me and jumped out to help me push it back into the parking lot. We assumed it was out of gas, which it wasn't. Afterwards, we realized that we tried to jump the car off because now it wasn't turning over. It cranked , and I made it to the intersection. Again, it died on me once more. So we left the car overnight in barnes and noble parking lot. I came back Sunday afternoon may 1, 2005 and replaced the battery. It cranked right up. I drove 2 miles home. Then 6 miles to north tampa, only to have my car die pulling into the parking lot of a friend's apartment complex. I let it sit for a few hours, cranked it up and it cranked. Then managed to make it to the on ramp of i75 south, only to have it die again. It wa s now sitting at a friends house. I managed to drive it 1 mile an hour in idle into someone's apartment complex, where it now sits waiting for someone to tow it to the Nissan dealership.

1) loss of acceleration and blinking dash lights (vdc on/off, abs, battery) and strange noise through stereo 2) smell of electrical components at high heat 3) smoke in cabin, smoke from under hood.

I recently had my 2004 Murano at 12,000 miles towed to the dealership. The brake light and battery light went on, on the way to work in the morning and continued to be on all day. Being that there was no sign of trouble except for the warning light and no Nissan dealership in the area of where I work I proceeded through my day. I headed home and came to a stop sign and went to go accelerate and went no where as if I was in neutral. I idled to the side of the road so I could turn the truck on and off and still I could not accelerate. I idled to my house fortunately was around the corner and called the dealership. The service person asked if I could go in reverse so I tried and I could. I put it in drive and surprisingly was able to go forward so I was told to bring it in immediately. On my way to the dealership on the highway doing 65 to 70 in the evening traffic went to accelerate and went no where!!! I was in the middle of traffic doing 5 mph with no way getting to the shoulder which was so dangerous. Finally a kind person let me go idle to the side to where I could call a tow truck. As I was sitting waiting for a tow truck, I tried to turn the truck on but it would not turn over. It seems to me that this problem is not being remedied as it should be before a person losses a life. This is a serious problem that is continuing through the models. It is being over looked at the expense of the consumer. I am paying for a car that has a great reputation as I were to think. Pe04077_cat.

While driving battery/brake warning light illuminated. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
