2005 Nissan Murano power train problems

“Vehicle shutdown while driving in the middle of the road while using a new battery. Fuel pump not reading fuel tank. Vehicle stalls specially whenever acceleration starts after stopping.”

“TAKARA RECALL : WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE CAR IS PULLED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE, ALMOST CAUSING SERIOUS CRASHES.”

“I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE ENGINE ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AND WOULDN'T RESPOND BY GIVING IT GAS. THEN IT JUST LURCHED FORWARD ABRUBTLY AND BEGAN TO RUN NORMALLY. THEN AFTER ABOUT 2 MORE BLOCKS WHILE WE'RE GOING 45 MPH IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 3 LANE ROAD. THIS CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO ALMOST REAREND US BUT THE CARS BEHIND THEM ACTUALLY DID GET INTO A CRASH TRYING TO STOP FROM HITTING THEM. THANKFULLY A POLICE CAR WAS A FEW CARS BACK AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THEIR LIGHTS ON AND PUSH MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE WE COULDN'T EVEN GET OUT OF THE CAR WITH CARS WHIZZING PAST US ON BOTH SIDES. THANK GOD OR WE COULD'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE CAR CRASH AND ONE OF US COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT. THIS HAPPENED ON 07/13/18. I PAID ABOUT $600 TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND FIX SOMETHING IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. NOW IT IS ONLY A MONTH LATER, 08/15/18, AND IT'S DONE IT AGAIN. IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE DRIVING 35MPH WHILE TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP. THE CARS WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION CONES/SIGNS TO OUR RIGHT ILLEGALLY OR THEY WERE DRIVING DOWN THE SHARED TURN LANE ON OUR LEFT TO GET…”

“SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, WITH NO WARNING HAD TO GET TOWED. WHILE IN DRIVE-THROUGH CAR SHUT DOWN BUT A DELAY THEN RESTARTED. BOUGHT NEW BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND GOT A TUNE-UP. CURRENTLY THE CAR WILL NOT GO IN BACKWARDS.”

“I BOUGHT MY 05 MURANO FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR $6000 AND I ONLY DROVE IT FOR 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE ALTERNATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT. I PAID $600 FOR THE ALTERNATOR TO BE REPAIRED AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ME $4200 TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY SORT OF DISCOUNT. I GOT 3 MONTHS OUT OF A $6000+ DOLLAR CAR. I AM SO UPSET THIS HAS CAUSED SO MANY PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE IN SO MANY WAYS. I CAN'T BELIEVE NISSAN IS MORALLY OK WITH RIPPING ME OFF LIKE THIS.”

“VEHICLE TAKES MINUTES TO PICK UP SPEED ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN IT IS ON A STOP POSITION EITHER IN AN INTERSECTION OR TRAFFIC LIGHT INTERSECTION. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN WHERE IT SLOWLY MOVES, PICK UP A SPEED AND DO THE SAME THING FOR EACH STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC STOP LIGHT. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES A SCREECHING SOUND. IF ABLE TO DRIVE, STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES HAVE THAT SLIGHT SHAKING. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW. TIRES WERE CHANGED AND BRAKES CHANGED BUT ISSUES STILL A BIG CONCERN.”
