Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Our car is starting the surging thing and acts like it is going to turn off then zooms off. I never realized the CVT cause so many people issues. The cowards at Nissan not stepping forward are going to realize real quick they should have been loyal to their customers! I along with a lot of other folks will not be going back to Nissan!”
NHTSA complaint #10437992, filed 2011-12, 85,000 miles“Lifter link assembly broke on my 2005 Nissan Murano. Took the car in for servicing and when I picked it up the seat was broken. The dealership fixed it because it was covered under my extended warranty. Still had to pay the $50.00 deductible, because there was no recall. I understand that I am not the only one who has experienced this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10273321, filed 2009-06, 26,000 miles“I have a Murano where the air intake keeps coming loose and won't stay therefore making the car stall on the interstate while trying to pick up speed. It's been fixed once but it still keeps happening. I can't pull into traffic for the fear the car will cut off.”
NHTSA complaint #10276282, filed 2009-07, 50,000 miles“Coolant was leaking on driveway, found that the tensioner bracket is cracked and is rubbing up against a coolant hose, causing a breach in hose and leakage. The dealership is quoting me over $500 to replace the tensioner bracket and associated pulley and screw . I called Nissan corporate asking them to either fix for free or discount the service. They said its not their responsibility. I see alot of this exact component failure reported online, I hope Nissan ponies up someday.”
NHTSA complaint #10413144, filed 2011-07, 95,000 miles“2005 Nissan Murano with 56,735 miles began making a noise at acceleration. Brought car to the Nissan dealer and was told that a new pulley asm and bracket-id was needed. I was told that the bracket failed causing the pulley asm to go bad. While replacing the pulley and bracket, I requested the fan belt be changed. I was very surprised that the bracket and pulley failed so soon on this vehicle. This was not covered under warranty or recall.”
