3 Electrical System problem of the 2025 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 01/29/2026

New leased 2025 Nissan Murano vehicle 7,386 miles with recent software upgrade by Nissan dealer, keyport, new jersey. As I accelerated from a complete stop, the vehicle experienced an unintended increased excessive speed acceleration and when I applied the brakes to slow the vehicle, the acceleration wouldn't stop knocking me back into my headrest hurting my neck and right ankle. I had to shut off the vehicle to stop it. I then proceeded to attempt restarting to exit the roadway safely and it failed to start keeping in the lane of traffic. A message displayed to update the vehicle software which I did immediately and was unable to restart during vehicle requested update. I put on my hazard lights remaining in the vehicle as snow banks covered each side of the road and it wasn't safe to exit my vehicle with traffic and ice conditions. I was put into a situation where I could not exit the roadway and vehicles were approaching my rear as I was in a single lane roadway with traffic had going around me when safe to pass. After the upgrade I attempted to restart the vehicle and it would not until I opened the door and reapplied the brake pedal realizing that moment I injured my ankle pressing on the brakes so hard to stop my speeding vehicle. It did finally start after the 5th attempt afyer the software upgrade. After this event upon starting the vehicle I drove it off the roadway and the seats began to heat up hotter than tolerable and I could smell what seemed like burning plastic with the steering wheel heating up too hot to touch. I called Nissan and spoke with angel in her servixe department to find out if there was any recalls or other vehicles with this issue and she didn't know. They confirmed they'll be be accepting my vehicle for service tomorrow morning Jan 30, 26' at 830 where I'll have Nissan roadside service take the vehicle into the dealership.

4 Electrical System problem of the 2012 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 11/26/2025

While driving, vehicle just quits and all dashboard lights flash quickly and then the car stalls out and won't restart. This has happened 4 times now. Had battery replaced, alternator replaced for a 2nd time, sensor replaced. Now, I had the car towed to dealer who wanted to keep it for over the weekend to see if they could repeat the issue. My local mechanic had the same issue and he had to have it towed back to his shop also. This is a very dangerous situation, I've had to call 911 several times to provide safety while on the side of the road. My car has only 72k and is in excellent condition. I have always maintenance the vehicle since purchasing it in 2014. . . . . I need some help with figuring out this issue. I am a disabled senior citizen on social security and that's it! please look into this as I have run out of solutions.

5 Electrical System problem of the 2009 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 11/11/2025

I was going 35 mph, normal operation speed and there was no extreme weather or road conditions. I slowed down to get into the center turn lane ended up coming to a complete stop due to on coming traffic. I was stopped for about 30 seconds to maybe a minute when I finally had enough clearance to make my turn. When I pressed the accelerator it began to accelerate but stalled out almost immediately. So I pressed and depressed the accelerator rapidly several times then it finally accelerated. When it did finally accelerate it accelerated much to quickly like it just took off. I’d like to say that this excessive acceleration was terrible but it saved my passenger from getting slammed by the now on coming traffic due to the lack of power. This is not the first time it has happened it does it allot when the weather gets warmer as well as when exiting the highway coming to a complete stop and then when trying to accelerate it stalls I’d say 25% of the time. I’ve taken it to multiple repair shops and they all say they can’t find the problem. I know their is a problem and I’ve read of this happening to many other owners so why is there no recall on it yet I’m surprised no one has been seriously injured or worse. In my opinion I feel like the manufacturer has complete disregard to the consumers safety. It’s unsettling.

6 Electrical System problem of the 2018 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 11/09/2025

My car several times while driving randomly had the traction control loss light pop up randomly (dry conditions) several times through a 45 minute drive. Around the 35 minute mark it popped up again, and my car completely stalled out. My VIN is allegedly not apart of one of their recalls but it appears as if it’s the exact same issue many others had and that it should have been included with said recall.

7 Electrical System problem of the 2025 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 09/18/2025

While driving my new 2025 Nissan Murano (owned for 3 weeks), I parked the vehicle and exited. I realized the car was sticking out into traffic, so I got back inside to restart it. When I attempted to start the vehicle, the dashboard displayed the message: “warning: key system error – see owner’s manual” and the car would not start. The vehicle remained disabled for at least 10 minutes while partially obstructing traffic, creating a safety hazard. I contacted the dealership immediately, and they advised me not to drive the car until it could be inspected. The vehicle was towed to the dealership, where it was held for 24 hours. After consulting with Nissan, the dealer reported that the issue may have been caused by not pressing the “park” button prior to shutting off the engine, and that the system may intentionally shut down for 10 minutes to perform a “safety check. ” this explanation was concerning, as the car became unexpectedly disabled without prior warning or symptoms, and the dealership had not previously encountered this issue.

I had a problem with this when the vehicle was new, they fixed it. They wanted two hundred dollars to look at it. Why is this safety problem in my vehicle not included?.

13 Electrical System problem of the 2016 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 05/31/2025

I have been experiencing complete driving failure with my 2016 Nissan Murano. It shutdowns randomly without any warning well driving in traffic. I have already experienced being put in a crash risk three times. I have been trying to work with the dealer for almost 2 months now, only to receive my SUV with the same issue. I am terrified to be forced to put my children in such a high risk automobile as this is supposed to be our reliable transportation. I am highly disappointed and uncomfortable with the dealership stating repeatedly they don’t know what’s wrong with my vehicle as they are no codes to factually state the real issue. In the process I am being told I need to pay for highly priced repair guesses or problems that have been generated in their care trying to figure things out. The vehicle has even stopped on them while driving. After driving off their lot twice only to be stranded and put in a crash risk I am not comfortable with being rushed to pick up this vehicle without total safety concerns being addressed. Nissan has not addressed my concerns about their vehicles having recalls about this same issues, only stating it doesn’t show up for my VIN# well why am I having the same exact problem? the safety risks of the vehicle failing in the mist of traffic with absolutely no warning is a huge life threatening risk and shouldn’t be of the hardship of my family as I immediately had it towed to the dealership to assure safety for all. I purchased what I thought would be a safer longevity vehicle to transport my children. I am really having a difficult time with understanding of my concerns are of top priority. As I do appreciate being given a rental while they try a figure it out. My major concerns are being given the vehicle back at the same exact safety issues or worse. Please your cooperation in assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

17 Electrical System problem of the 2009 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 04/16/2025

My battery went dead, and I was trapped inside my car, there is not way to get out of the vehicle with out someone having the hidden key inside the fob, or lock smith, or break the window, this is a huge safety issue especially in extreme weather or hazardous situations.

18 Electrical System problem of the 2017 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 04/02/2025

Rear lift-gate failed to latch. Paid for assessment and repair in August 2024. I was told it could occur again that there is hatch issue with this vehicle. Eight months later, the rear lift-gate failed to latch again. I took it back to the dealership. While driving, it is unsafe as the warning lights are flashing on the dash and an alarm is screeching for the entirety of the trip. You cannot safely drive a vehicle when the door will not latch. After inspection of the vehicle, they advised to repair the lock assembly($770) though $180 was paid at first assessment . I was told this may not be the final solution to the problem. This time there was no discussion of the hatch issue with this vehicle. Hmmm, there is an online forum for other Nissan owners with the same problem. I never received any warning lamps prior to the issue. The rear lift hatch was working until it wasn't. Thank goodness I was not on a road trip (I have two adult children who live out of state). It is unnerving and unsafe to drive while all of the warning lights and sounds are on all while your rear door is unable to latch. In my opinion, this is a safety issue. There have been two class action suits on the 2017 Murano. One for foggy headlamps and one for the cvt transmission. I did not join the suits. At the time I was contacted, my headlamps were not foggy, now they are. Knock on wood, I have no issues with my transmission. I can drive safely with foggy headlamps. I can not drive safely when my rear door will not latch. There are 3 buttons for this feature (the dash, the rear door, and the glove box). The button in the glove box allows you to turn off the auto lift feature. Even when you turn it off, the door will not latch. In my opinion, there is a faulty design. This should be a recall, not a repair. I am long past the days of soccer and basketball tournaments where a rear door gets a workout. It's just me. Having a door close and latch seems fundamental to the safety of a vehicle.

Additionally, the lack of disclosure or documentation means there is no clear service record explaining what was accessed or modified. ? supporting evidence: I have photographic documentation of the vehicle before and after the dealership’s custody, as well as text messages showing the extended service timeline. These documents confirm that the condition of the vehicle changed significantly while in their possession. ? requested action: I am requesting that NHTSA review this complaint for patterns of dealership negligence, particularly involving extended service holds followed by undocumented vehicle return with altered components.

26 Electrical System problem of the 2015 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 05/17/2024

Please note that although this system does not show that the recall repairs were complete, we have documentation from Nissan that we completed the recall work twice. On Tuesday, may 14 at approximately 5:42 a. M. Our Nissan Murano spontaneously caught fire in our driveway. My family, including my five year old twins and a seven year old, woke up to the airbags exploding. We got our family out of the house as we spoke to the 911 dispatcher and the Murano went up in flames. Our doorbell camera caught the incident in its entirety (from the smoke under the hood to the inferno of flames) and the montgomery county fire and explosive expert agrees that the start of the fire is likely from the abs actuator issue stemming from Nissan’s recall in 2019. We are also hearing that it’s the worst spontaneous vehicle fire anyone has ever seen. After the incident, in good faith, we contacted Nissan north America who referred us to Nissan’s regional office for our area. . . They told us we have to hold the wreckage in our driveway for 8 weeks or possibly longer and that they will not help us mitigate it or provide a rental. Had our Nissan been parked in our garage, it would have been next to our mudroom which contains the gas line to our dryer. Our house would have exploded and my entire family would have died. My children cannot sleep and my pediatrician has recommended a psychologist for the entire family. My son and I have coughs from breathing in the fumes and cannot attend doctors’ appointments because we have no safe transportation. I have missed work, the burned vehicle in our driveway is melted and is a safety and health hazard for us and our neighbors. Our garage door, gutters, and soffits are melted, and there is potential damage to our roof. There is exploded glass everywhere, and my other car is un-drivable, structurally unsound, and melted on the right side, having been parked next to the Murano and torched under 1,500 degree heat for almost 40 minutes. Will provide videos.

There is no physical evidence of frame damage and I am the second owner of the vehicle. There was no warnings and this just started occurring this year.

28 Electrical System problem of the 2009 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 12/04/2023

This has happened on two different occasions. While driving the vehicle the alternator has gone out and there is no warning that there is any problem but you lose your throttle control and the car loses power and is unable to accelerate. The 1st time this happened I was in the middle of an intersection trying to make a left turn and lost all power to be able to move the car. Luckly no one was coming in the other direction, or I could have been involved in a serious accident!!! I had the alternator check and it was bad, so we replaced it. The second time this happened was two days ago I was doing 65 mph on a four-lane highway and without any warning I lost power and could not accelerate I was able to pull to the side of the road, but m emergency flashers were of no use due to the battery was low because the entire car was using it for power. The car has no gauge or light of any type to warn you that the alternator has failed till you lose power and are unable to accelerate.

29 Electrical System problem of the 2017 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 11/29/2023

The seat heating function on my vehicle failed due to electrical components becoming so hot that they melted the control module connector. The issue has been reviewed and confirmed by a Nissan dealership's service department. The service manager stated that he and his team would not plug the control module connector back in without my express direction because they considered it a fire hazard and a safety risk. There was no warning of this failure; the component simply stopped working but remained a fire risk. The only way I learned of the control module melting was after having the dealer's service department diagnose why the feature was no longer working. From the dealer's diagnosis (in writing): "driver's climate control seat control module connector melted. Recommend replacing driver's climate control seat control module and driver's front seat harness. Left driver's front climate control seat control module connector unplugged to prevent further issues with system. " it is unknown when the component melted. The problem was diagnosed by a Nissan dealership's service department on 29 November 2023.

Not sure when it started bc I just purchased this vehicle a month ago. While driving one evening the head lights went off and I had to turn them off and back on. Now a few weeks later and after I've changed the bulbs and made sure the fuse wasn't blown it is doing it alot. I'm not sure if it is a wiring problem or if it is in the on and off switch.

35 Electrical System problem of the 2007 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 12/07/2022

Please recall electrical system, started out the doors not locking and trunk wont open then inside lights would not come on. I put my steering wheel down lower and when I did the car would not start. The inside lights come on when the car wont start then when I move steering wheel back up the lights go back off and the car will start again. The all wheel drive lock button will not work and the all wheel drive kicks in and out on it's own while driving the vehicle. While my children and I were on our way to town the vehicle started to lose power and the steering wheel was hard to handle then the all wheel drive locked in and out and then power was back. It was scary and it almost caused me to crash and people to crash into me from sudden speed reduction. The mechanics I take my vehicles to told me I'll have to take it to a Nissan dealership to get the electrical system taken care of or replaced.
