“While driving on a city street car lost charge would drive very slowly about 1 mile per hour. Brake and battery light came on. Have already replaced battery and alternator about a year ago but when same thing happened today. Per the VIN my car has not been recalled. I'll have to get invoice from tire choice to show what I paid for alternator and battery. Thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #11122451, filed 2018-08, 134,876 miles“The problem with my Nissan Murano like so many others is the transmission. I took it to the dealer and I wasted $125 dollars. I also contacted Nissan cooperate and they have not did anything. Nissan knows this is a manufactory problem and they will not acknowledge the problem. I am so frustrated with this problem I seen that they extended the warranty but I am 20,000 miles over it I need help”
NHTSA complaint #10915991, filed 2016-10, 144,000 miles“Purchased this vehicle in 2012, used- bag an having issues immediately, including , no heat, stalling, windows rolling down on their own in winter- returned it to the dealer and they kept for 1 week, said there was nothing wrong except the fuel pump. We replaced it and trouble continued. Contacted Nissan and they said to take to dealer for diagnostic, a certified Nissan mechanic now looking it over and claims there is nothing wrong, we have thrown so much money into trying to get it to work. …”
NHTSA complaint #10915257, filed 2016-10, 108,000 miles“My 2003 Nissan Murano stalls out on me while driving, and multiple times just today 06/07/18 while driving at a normal speed limit, vehicle just slows down causing me to put my hazards. I was not able to accelerate. This is a hazard for myself and more important my children who ride in this vehicle with me. My VIN# does not have a recall, but reading other consumer's comments there is a major issue. It's my hope that this can be recalled so that we the consumer's will have a piece of mind and be safe while driving on the roads.”
NHTSA complaint #11100421, filed 2018-06, 106,000 miles“Just bought car 2 months prior to incident. Started having trouble accelerating after a stop light. Foot was down to the ground and car wouldnt move. Called Nissan and they told me there was a recall on the CVT transmission so the warranty was extended to 10 years or 120,000 miles. Since my car is a 2003 the recall was expired. This is a dangerous safety matter, how can this expire! It needs to be fixed but Nissan was no help! Seems that I need a new transmission but can't even get the car to go more than 10mph now and it is stuck at dealer! …”
