“My Murano starts sometimes, and sometimes it won't start at all.Nissan diagnostic was eletrical issues, they changed the ipdm, changed the eletrical dashboard, it worked for 11/2 weeks, and won't start again. This car is less than 50,000 miles. Apparently Nissan can't fix this problem. I'm desperate for help, cause I'm still paying for this car. It's currently in my garage, it has stopped me three times on the road, and twice, in my garage couldn't start”

“On january 22, 2020 around 5:30 am I discovered that my backup camera was not functioning. I turned my car off and on at least three times to try and get it to work but that did not resolve the issue. The backup camera is showing the red, green and yellow guide lines but the screen is black. It is not returning any images from behind the vehicle. The vehicle was at home in a parking spot when this occurred. One week later to today, january 28,2020, the backup camera is still not functioning properly. …”

“My vehicle had a warning light come on stating front collision avoidance unavailable . It would shut off the cruise control. Took it into the dealer. They said the vehicle operated as designed. Took it back in several weeks later demanding they fix the problem. Took a test drive with the technician. Problem did not reoccur. I got out. The technician started the car to pull it in the shop and the warning came on. They traced the problem to a sensor. The sensor is not available and is on backorder. …”

“I purchased a new 2017 Nissan Murano a couple of years ago. After 6 months of ownership, while in motion on any road or highway my car will beep and show front radar unavailable due to obstruction . It then turns off my ability to have cruise control and removes aeb and feb features. After researching this issue, it looks like several Nissan owners have had the same issue because of a faulty radar. Nissan replaced the radar once but that radar is now bad too. The aeb, feb, and cruise control will not work in my car. …”

“My car has a front emergency braking system. This system is located at the front of the car, in lower grille. The sensor detects when a vehicle in front of you has stopped. As you get closer to the vehicle, if you do not stop, the car will sound a 3-beep alert notifying you to stop. If you still do not stop, the car will apply the brakes and force the car to stop to prevent an accident., I was driving home, when the 3-beep alert sounded, and the dashboard display started flashing red and white lights. A message on the display stated that a crash was imminent. …”
