Failure Date: 09/03/2021

Hello, I would like to report a problem. Didnt really see anything about transmission on the choices listed above. Well I got this car used from someone. Didnt really noticed the transmission problem until I was driving it for a while on the freeway. The transmission is just so bad . It is stuck on 3rd gear all the way. At high speeds. So imagine, the engine is whining so bad. The car basically wants to give up now. Still starts, revers, goes foward with no problem. Shifting is the problem. Also, ive checked the transmission fluid. Its still at a perfect level. Yes, it has roughly 129,000 miles on it. But really? this car should be lasting longer. Please. I really dont want to pay out of pocket for a whole new transmission. Theres got to be a way or something you guys could do to help me and my family.

Cvt transmission stops accelerating at some point after driving. Rpms don’t increase and vehicle struggles to maintain speed. Speed only increases or decreases due to incline or decline of the road. It’s dangerous as it mostly occurs on freeways/highways. Problem has been happening for 2+ years. Dealer cannot confirm as no check engine light code is created and problem ceases to exist only after engine is turned off. Vehicle is available to be inspected.

45 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 2007 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 04/14/2021

On March 14th, I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano from a private owner. I was told the throttle bottle needed to be replaced. After replacing the throttle bottle the Murano felt like it lost all power when I accelerated but the vehicle was still on. Contacted the seller and he said they've never had any transmission issues or anything. I followed up with getting the spark plugs changed, transmission fuel and filter changed, a brand new battery and an oil change. This worked for about a month up until early April of 2021. The vehicle now seems as though it's in limo mode. No mechanic wants to work on it and I feel completely cheated and at a total loss. Vadden Nissan constantly has an excuse not to work on my vehicle and at this point, it's just very frustrating. I've spend thousand of dollars on this vehicle only for me to still be at square one. I'm also afraid for my safety being in traffic and having to turn on my safety hazard lights. The vehicle will drive normal if I restart it but goes right back into limp mode.

49 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 2012 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 11/14/2020

Power loss on take off. Issue has been occurring for over a year and is intermittent. When starting off from a stopped position, ie stop sign, red light, or highway onramp, the vehicle will engage, but immediately loose acceleration. The gas peddle can be fully pressed, with no reaction. After a few seconds the power gets restored and vehicle takes off as if engaging a jet booster. A visit and diagnostic check at a Nissan dealer, did not reveal and faults or codes, and issue could not be recreated. This issues is random, and based on a Nissan owner forum, I learned it has plagued the Murano and is lexis counter part for different model years. No forum entries as to known cause or corrective findings by the dealerships or mechanics.

52 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 2003 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 07/23/2020

While driving down the highway with my infant child the vehicle lost power I could not accelerate went from 75mph to a struggling 5mph. No matter how far I pressed the gas pedal there was no acceleration no revving of engine just complete nothing just pure panic. I was able to pull off to the side of the freeway in a not so safe place however I had no choice. I out hazard lights on and turned off the car. After waiting approx 5 min. I attempted to start car to no avail. The battery light as well as abs light stayed on. I again waited for another 5 -10 min and tried again nothing but same warning lights. I eventually had to wait for approx 45-_60 min when it finally started however I was only allowed to go no fastethan 5 mph. I was able to exit freeway where I parked car for several hours and walked home. Upon retrieving vehicle it still had same results. I drove home @ 5mph. I took car in for repairs and was told I needed a new battery wiring harness. I had that ordered a d repaired. Car drove home just fine however the following day the same incident occurred. Took car back in and was told I needed a new alternator which I replaced. However the following day the same thing occurred. Upon driving car back to a major dealership to notify them of the same problem, however once in their parking lot the mechanic attempted to drive car into the service bay and car wouldn't start. Immediately the mechanic said " OH you hear that clicking sound?" " that's the starter you need a new one". I once again had them service my car and put in a new starter. Yet once again the following day the same problem. In all these occurrences the car had just out of no where with no warning lost power leaving my children and I in a potentially dangerous situation multiple times. The vehicle has been parked in my garage. I can't afford replacing parts just to have the same incident. As far as dates go there were multiple dates that the vehicle stalled on me and had no acceleration.

58 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 2007 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 03/02/2020

My intake hose keeps coming off the resonator, like completely. My car will lose power immediately whether I'm driving on a hwy at 70 mph or stopped at a light. I lose power steering and its difficult for me to press down on the breaks. I'm very luck I was in the position to be able to pull off the hwy safely. I have to tighten the bracket tight enough to make it home. A lot of times I'm unable to tighten it good enough and it will come off again. Most recent incident happened on 3/2/2020 at a traffic light. This has been happening for the better part of a year and a half. Very scary to go through.

61 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 2007 Nissan Murano

Failure Date: 10/25/2019

My family has owned a 2007 Nissan Murano for nearly 8 years. In the last year, my wife has experienced extreme trauma as she has had the vehicle completely die on her while in the middle of freeways, highways, and residential roads. We have had the vehicle taken in and inspected by multiple Nissan dealerships and each visit has only resulted in their recommendation of routine maintenance being suggested, such as transmission fluid exchange, brake repair, or battery replacement. Our Murano has recently decided to repeat these same issues after over a year of normal function. My wife was driving the vehicle normally and all of a sudden she began to lose power until the car came to a stop and the function of the vehicle stopped due to what appeared to be an electrical problem. After assessing the issue, I attempted to jump start the vehicle with jumper cables, which allowed the Murano to start, but once it was independently idling, it would again lose power after an attempt to drive the vehicle. I am heavily concerned for the welfare of my wife and daughter as they drive this car daily. The Nissan dealerships that I typically rely on for these critical repairs have been no help and I am at a loss for why this has happened with such a long time frame between issues. I hope that Nissan will issue a recall on this problem and rectify any prior repairs that have been suggested as a resolution to the issue that may very well have not resolved the true issue at hand. I am in dire need of answers as to why a well maintained vehicle would be fine one minute and then completely inoperable the next. The vehicle has had many components replaced and maintained to prolong the life of the vehicle and with 180k miles has the potential to continue for many more. I don't want to pour money into this issue that Nissan needs to address, as I am not the only one having dealt with this!.

My Murano starts sometimes, and sometimes it won't start at all. Nissan diagnostic was eletrical issues, they changed the ipdm, changed the eletrical dashboard, it worked for 11/2 weeks, and won't start again. This car is less than 50,000 miles. Apparently Nissan can't fix this problem. I'm desperate for help, cause I'm still paying for this car. It's currently in my garage, it has stopped me three times on the road, and twice, in my garage couldn't start.

Failure Date: 06/25/2019

On June 25th I was going down a very steep hill in guttenberg NJ,07093 when about three quarters down the hill my 212 Nissan Murano convertible's engine stopped with no warning. Thank god the light ahead was green and I was able to turn the wheel just enough to avert crashing into a fence and go over an embankment. The car rolled to a stop and I wound up in middle of traffic whose light was then green coming at me from north and south. . I wrote to the us global headquarters in California and spoke several times to Nissan's regional office in tennessee. The car has been at local dealership since June 25 and they say if they can't duplicate the problem I will have to take car . But that is unacceptable because it is not safe and I cannot in good faith sell it to anyone else. Ca you please help me. I am a professor at teachers college in nyc and use the car to travel to the college in the spring and fall semesters. I have special parking privilege because I cannot take public transportation due to a disability. I sincerely hope to hear frfom you. Thank you, sincerely, (xxxxx) p. S. I found 20 other people on the internet who reported their engines stopped while in motion - I send copies to all parties at Nissan but they said OH they are different models (no they were not - all Murano's and different years (but 2012 was included among them redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

Sluggish acceleration and shuddering at speeds below 35 mph. I am not sure what is causing it but it almost acts like it could die.
