While driving the vehicle it may randomly stall causing the motor to shut down while the car is in use making it very unsafe. Also random over heating and stalling I've changed both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor also the radiator and the thermostat nothing fixes it. There was a recall on my vehicle but I need to be put on the list I was left out.

I brought my car to reed Nissan to be diagnosed because the check engine light was on. They diagnosed the car and said that a few things needed fixing and when fix the light will be gone. I paid to fix the car and when I was driving home the check egine light came back. I called back and spoke to my servuce advisor who told me to bring back the car to be re diagnosed. The finding was another problem that apparently didnt show up because of how long the car took to be fix. I agree to replaced what they quote me the price for but instead I got the opposite. They replaced what they wanted to and disnt replace everything they agreed to replace but I still had tonpay all the money that was agreed on eventhough I didnt get all the work done that was suppose to be done. Today my car radiator blew and they say they are not responsible for it a week aftwr I fix my car with them. There was also a crack in my engine cover and a screw missing to keep it tight. My radiator cover screws were also missing. I apod my money and didnt get the job that they told me I was supposed to get. Whrn I spoke to the manager they give me all these stories and were not taking any blames for anything. The tech who worked on my car said he didnt broke my engine cover and that the screw was missing so he left it the same way. As a technician you work on someone car engine and did not replace the screw and broke my cover and lied about it and of course Nissan backs him eventhough he was wring and was lying. The manager walked away without even saying a word to us about what was going to be the outcome and when I approach him about this matter he pretend as if he wasnt being rude by saying he saw we were already being taken care of my the tech and service manager so he excused himself. This is how they operate at reed Nissan. They are reed Nissan on west colonial drive in orlando florida. Nasty.
While exiting a parking space at a low speed (less than 10 mph) the car unexpectedly accelerated to full throttle. Braking would not hold it and my car ran into another vehicle after traveling 5-15 yards, pushing it up on a sidewalk before stopping. Both cars total loss due to bent frame/rails. My front end demolished and radiator pushed into engine but no airbags deployed. After the incident it was discovered that my accelerator pedal had snapped off.

During a routine service of my 2003 Nissan Murano, which has 33,293 miles on the odometer, the service technician noticed radiator fluid leaking from a hose that is located behind a fan-belt tension pulley. Upon closer inspection it was discovered that the bracket on which the pulley is mounted had failed causing the pulley to be pushed out of alignment and subsequently damaging the hose and belt, resulting in a repair cost of $450. 27. The repair consisted of replacing all the effected components at my expense. As far as I know, the "defective bracket" was replaced with an identical item sharing the same defective qualities. Nissan will not divulge the reason for the brackets failure. My concern if this "pulley devise" had broken off the vehicle due to the failure of the bracket while I was driving at speed, it would have done incalculable damage ,possibly causing me to loose control of the vehicle, probably causing an accident resulting in injury or loss of life. When I asked the service manager what caused the bracket to fail, he said he didn't know, but that I should consider myself fortunate that he discovered the problem when he did. Apparently, other owners were not so fortunate, their cars had to be towed and the damage was much more extensive. After the repairs were completed I asked to be given the defective and damaged parts and now have them in my possession.

My wife and I noticed that the heater blower was only blowing cold air when turned to high. Also, the temperature gauge was showing anywhere from extremely hot to very hot. Upon inspection of the coolant level reservoir it was showing full. However, the radiator was empty and took 3/4 bottle of coolant to refill. Then I noticed that there was a puddle of coolant that had formed on top of a bolt. We also could hear a noise from engine compartment. Upon investigation noticed idle pulley was vibrating and make the sound. . Read more...

Experienced clicking sound and subsequent loss of power while driving in mountainous area. 2003 Murano was completely disabled with what turned out to be complete failure of cvt transmission in Nissan dealer maintained vehicle with 77,000 miles on odometer. At this point, Nissan has offered no goodwill help in replacing $5000 cvt transmission,citing outside of 60,000 mile drive train warranty. Reliability of cvt technology in 2003 model is questionable , if complete failure on cvt is normal wear and tear at 77,000 miles. With exception of replacing two radiators and this cvt failure, I have had been very happy with vehicle.
Driving our 2003 Nissan Murano and car started to overheat. Took it to the dealer who said the radiator was cracked. Car has 72,000 miles with all scheduled maintenance done. Called Nissan na to see if others were experiencing the same problem and they have none reported. Denied to help due to excessive miles.
2003 Murano radiator and transmission malfunctioned. ** answer required***. The alternator was replaced after the alternator light illuminated on the dash. When accelerating suddenly the vehicle would hesitate.
I have a 2003 Nissan Murano sl. I was getting an oil change and noticed a discharge in my radiator overflow. I asked the guy to drain the radiator and reservoir and refill it with fresh antifreeze. The discharge returned and the car became disabled in a busy intersection, with no warning light prior. I had it towed to the dealer and they seemed to know exactly the issue. The transmission fluid had mixed with the radiator coolant?! they charged me $1265. 76 and said it wasn't covered because I was beyond 36,000 miles. The radiator looks new and I just have to take their word for this, even though they can't show me the problem. Since they were so quick to identify this problem, I have to think they are seeing it a lot and maybe this should be a recall. I took the old radiator with me and still have it. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
I bought a 2003 Nissan Murano 6 days ago. As I dropped my child off at day care, and went back to the vehicle, my car was smoking and radiator fluid was leaking everywhere. They said something had pierced my radiator. I had only driven about 1/2 a mile and saw or felt nothing, don't know if it's a defect or road hazard.
Vehicle in front her rollback and hit the grill, no damage was done to the vehicle upon inspection. 1/4 miles on the road notice the vehicle was on fire. Dealer was notified and diagnosis the radiator was broke. Please provide further information. Ph.
