Tire Pressure Monitoring System Problems of Nissan Murano

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the air bag warning light had remained illuminated. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the air bag control module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. Also, while operating the vehicle the tire pressure monitoring system warning light would randomly activated although the tire air pressures were normal. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 90,000.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the tire pressure warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tpms sensor needed to be reset. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 09v393000 (tires). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. While driving approximately 60 mph, the battery charging warning sensor indicator suddenly illuminated and the vehicle later shut off. In addition, while operating the vehicle, the pressure monitoring system sensor indicator illuminated although the air pressure in the tires was as recommended. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Supplemental air bag warning light will not turn off, also passenger air bag status light remains lit even with adult riding in passenger seat. Air bag safety should not fail on a car ever. Tpms light will not turn off with tires inflated at proper pressure.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Murano. While driving approximately 60 mph, the tire pressure sensor remained illuminated for two hours. The failure occurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

I have a 2007 Nissan Murano sl with about 52,000 miles and when I replaced all 4 tires, a slow air leak developed where the tire pressure monitor (tpm) seals against the inside of the wheel. The tpm was never moved or replaced when the new tires were mounted. The tire pressure read from both the dashboard and a hand held device reads about 19 psi when it should be about 35 psi. It takes about 2 weeks to be reduced. The inside seal on the tps is replaceable however the tps nut on the outside of the wheel that must be removed is seized and being aluminum, its threads are easily stripped. In conclusion, to fix the air leak, I have to purchase a new tps at about $100 each. With only 52,000 miles, the tps seal and threads should not be having these problems.

2009 Nissan Murano tpms failure. Failure light continuously on. Dealer suggests that to fix the problem one needs to over inflate the tires to a minimum of 36 psi. Recommended pressure on placard is 32psi. Says that it is due to living at high altitude and cold weather. The dealer makes you sign a disclaimer that states "I understand that over inflating tires may keep the tpms light from coming back on, and that tires will wear unevenly and prematurely. I wish to have my tire pressure set at a higher than recommended in hopes of the tpms light not coming on due to cold weather or high altitude". They tell me that this is the only way to resolve the issue. Also they state that "caution!! over inflating will cause the tires to wear unevenly and prematurely and is not recommended by the factory due to safety concerns. This is not the recommended solution to the issue, but is one course of action". The other solution is that you must live with it when the tires are inflated to recommended pressure of 32psi.

I am experiencing a serious safety issue with my 2009 Nissan Murano. I am notifying the NHTSA of this issue because it needs further investigation. I am stunned that Nissan has been so careless with my safety, especially in the wake of the Toyota debacle. There is an open recall on my vehicle's make and model for its faulty tire pressure monitoring system (tpms). The Nissan recall number is 09v393000, which states that the tpms is flawed and prone to corrosion and failure due to a faulty nut used in the manufacturing process. The recall affects vehicles in northern states where the salty roads excessively corrodes the nut used to manufacture the 2009 tpms, at which point "the tire will quickly lose air pressure at a consistent rate resulting in a flat tire increasing the risk of a crash," according to the Nissan recall. I was not aware of the recall until my car failed inspection recently. Nissan's consumer affairs department has denied service to my vehicle. They claim that my VIN number doesn't apply to the recall. After inspecting my car, ira Nissan in tewksbury, MA stated in its report that my vehicle is clearly affected by the tpms defect. Nissan headquarters states my vehicle was not manufactured with the nut in question - the nut that the company has publicly acknowledged is seriously flawed. My response? then the evidence suggests this issue is much larger in scope than this one nut from this one vendor. Nissan is unwilling to acknowledge they have a larger issue on their hands. Perhaps there were multiple vendors that provided other flawed nuts in the tpms. Or perhaps the nut is not the source of the problem at all. Whatever the case, this safety issue needs further investigation. This flaw affects the tires - a critical piece to the safety of any vehicle. The safety of thousands of consumers is at stake. The parallels to the Toyota debacle is striking. A very small piece of equipment is putting drivers and passengers at risk. . . Unbeknownst to them.

Tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) is defective. The pressure indicator in my vehicle constantly lights up telling me my tires are underinflated. I have checked the tires with three different types of pressure gauges and the reading is the recommended 32 psi but the car says 27 psi. When I took the vehicle to Nissan they told me to over inflate my tires to 37 psi when the placard in the door says to inflate to 32 psi. Basically the tpms is off by 16% which I believe is a safety concern. Either I over inflate my tires, resulting in less stability and uneven wear, or I ignore the warning light and take the risk that I may drive over a nail or other road hazard and not know about it. I find the problem especially interesting when you see that on all of my Nissan maintenance work they report they inflated the tires to 33 psi, when in truth they inflate it to 36-37 psi so that the light will not come on. I have notified Nissan on 11/28/2008 but no avail. It seems that this is a common problem from my search on the internet and I hope you will look into it.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Murano. Since the vehicle was purchased, the tire pressure monitoring system indicated that the tires became flat when the temperature was at 36 degrees or below. The lower the temperature, the more the system would indicate that the pressure was low although it was not. She took the vehicle to the dealership and they advised her add air to the tire until it reached 38 psi. She called the manufacturer and was told that the engineers had not addressed the issue and to over inflate the tires. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current mileage was approximately 46,600. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
