What owners say about the electrical system
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that on several occasions, while driving or while idling, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. On one occasion, while making a left turn, the sound from the engine compartment became louder, and the vehicle lost automotive power. The contact stated that the speedometer failed to operate as intended and remained at 0 MPH. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was driven back to the residence but stalled before reaching the driveway. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 167,120.”
“PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR. This is blinking on my dash. I looked it up in the manual. It stated that the airbag may not deploy in an accident. I also got a recall notice for this same problem and called the dealer. They said that my vin was not included in the recall even though I had the same make, model and year and the same problem. I had a problem with this when the vehicle was new, they fixed it. They wanted two hundred dollars to look at it. Why is this safety problem in my vehicle not included?”
“Please recall electrical system, started out the doors not locking and trunk wont open then inside lights would not come on. I put my steering wheel down lower and when I did the car would not start. The inside lights come on when the car wont start then when I move steering wheel back up the lights go back off and the car will start again. The all wheel drive lock button will not work and the all wheel drive kicks in and out on it's own while driving the vehicle. While my children and I were on our way to town the vehicle started to lose power and the steering wheel was hard to handle then the all wheel drive locked in and out and then power was back. It was scary and it almost caused me to crash and people to crash into me from sudden speed reduction. The mechanics I take my vehicles to told me I'll have to take it to a Nissan dealership to get the electrical system taken care of or replaced.”
“NISSAN MURANO 2007: FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER AVCURATE LEVEL OF FUEL IN TANK, SAFETY CONCERN IS NOT BEING ABLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR WHICH CAN LEAD TO BREAKING DOWN ANYWHERE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. ENGINE LIGHT ON (SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT), INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL READING. POWER STEERING FLUID CONSTANTLY NEEDING TO BE FILLED WHICH CONSTANTLY MAKES UNDER THE HOOD SMOKE WHENEVER DRIVEN. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE IS A RECALL. THANK YOU.”
