“My car stalled on me when in motion and wont go past 7mph, and eventually lose power and drain my battery. I took it for repair bought a new alternator,replaced the alternator it still drain and damage the battery. I have to go buy another battery, a brand new battery and in no time drained the battery again. This happens when the car is running regardless if anything is turned on or not.”
NHTSA complaint #11278125, filed 2019-11, 117,000 miles“I have a 2010 Murano and for the second time in 3 years my battery and alternator have to be replaced. Sounds identical to the recall on the 2005. I shouldn't have to pay for this twice in 3 years. Nissan recall this!”
NHTSA complaint #11079723, filed 2018-03, 175,000 miles“I was driving at 30 MPH to go home when my car lost all power with no warning. Thank goodness I didn't have my young children with me. The shop fixed my car after nine days and all was covered except the alternator. Total damage was 6,000.00. Two days later my car started to hesitate while driving. I quickly got rid of the car. Too bad I loved it for the first 44,000 miles. Beware.”
NHTSA complaint #10481276, filed 2012-10, 45,000 miles“The problem has occurred over a period of about 6 months. It started with the front driver side door not unlocking, only on occasion, with the fob. It was a slow progression but the unlock button on the door wouldn't unlock it either. It slowly progressed the effect the other doors as well. Before we knew it, no doors will unlock with the fob or the unlock buttons. We now have to use the key to unlock the driver side door and use our hands to unlock the other doors.”
NHTSA complaint #11033808, filed 2017-10, 60,000 miles“Volume in vehicle randomly turns to blaring loud without even touching the volume control. This has happened multiple times and continues to be an issue. I do not have the function turned on that makes the volume increase as speed increases. This has happened while the car is sitting in my driveway. It is scary and distracting during driving. Also, the dash control for the volume and HVAC don't work properly, as one click can turn either up 5 or 6 notches, also leading to blaring radio and/or high/low temperatures/fan. …”
