Example complaints
Forward collision avoidance: “On multiple times, in clear weather with no cars in front of me, driving at 40 MPH the aeb warning light comes on. Have taken it to the dealer multiple times for diagnosis and repair with no resolution. The first time, the dealer recalibrated the system, and on the second time in for repair, the dealer said no codes were input into the on board computer, so nothing could be done despite my cell phone video showing the incidents occurring.”
NHTSA complaint #11390641, filed 2021-01, 5,000 milesOther or unknown: “I was driving to work when I heard a popping noise then glass hitting the sunroof shade above my head. I immediately realized that there was a hole in my sunroof, but I didn't hear anything hit it like a rock; just a popping noise. I pulled off the freeway and parked my car and took pictures of the hole the size of a basketball in my sunroof. If I hadn't of had the shade closed there would be glass all over inside my car and on my person. I called the dealership and told them what happened. …”
NHTSA complaint #11281157, filed 2019-11, 7,500 milesBrakes: “I lost brake pressure at a red light today. I ended up pressing the brake all the way to the floor and kept rolling. The light turned green and I pressed the gas and the brake started working after that and has worked since. I started googling and I saw this was an issue in older Muranos as well. I do not want to take it in and spend a bunch of money on master cylinders, etc when it may not be the issue. Please investigate.”
NHTSA complaint #11575972, filed 2024-03Vehicle speed control: “In September of 2019, I leased a new 2019 Nissan Murano Platinum from Missoula Nissan in Missoula, Montana. Not long after purchasing the new auto, I noticed that when driving down a hill, the cruise control released and the vehicle sped up as though free-wheeling. The engine brake (compression) did not activate nor did the transmission shift down. The hills I am referring to are gentle down-hills on straight-aways. They are not steep or windy. …”
