2010 Nissan Murano problems

“brakes/ ABS brake system: Still in use currently. Not reproducible, very erratic; once every few days of operation. No outside inspections to date. No warning lights of messsages/ error codes before or after the brake failure. Event: Brake will fail on rare occasions randomly. No particular event precedes the failure: (corner; speed; trip duration; road vibration; etc). When brake is pressed, pedal drops to near the floor before giving some back pressure. No noticeable speed reduction here. If brakes are pumped they will begin to delevope pressure with some reduction in velocity. After several more pumps the brake activation returns and car can be stopped. No accident from this problem yet. Brake reservoir is full and has been full during these problems. This seems very similar to the 2009 murano recall for ABS system failure. NHTSA Campaign Number 18V916. Murano did a prior recall repair around 2020ish, and changed to DOT4 I think. That is the indicated fluid for this system. Very dangerous, and completely unexpected failure; luckily the emergency brake still works.”

“Vehicle will not accelerate. I will drive it a few miles, and it will be just fine. I drive it more, and it will stall and not accelerate. In fact, on 6/30/25, I was getting on the highway and it wouldn't accelerate and 8 warning lights came on. It has a brand new battery, alternator, idle sensor, and throttle position sensor. My dad and grandpa both know a lot about cars, and they are at a loss.”

“The radio volume knob has an electrical defect. If you touch or use the volume knob the volume will automatically increase unexpectedly. This is a problem when driving. It will turn up so loud and unexpectedly that I have all most crashed my car. At this point the stereo is inoperable. Also was told the steering column has a crack. I bought this car brand new. That feels like a defective part and not something that the owner should have to replace, but should be the responsibility of the car maker.”

“This is the second set of sunvisors on my Murano definite safety hazard when hitting a slight bump in the road, they fall down blocking your vision all of a sudden. While driving, I have to push it back up and most of the time it falls right back down. This is something that Nissan should be held accountable for as $200 a set is very expensive when they keep breaking. If I get hurt because of them in a car accident, I will be suing Nissan.”

“I began hearing a rattling sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. I believed it was possibly the suspension, as the vehicle would also bounce more often than expected when going over any irregularities in the road (potholes, speed bumps, normal wear on roads, etc). I brought it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle, and they found no issues. I had previously replaced all 4 tires and brakes before hearing this sound, and nothing was brought to my attention then, either. The noise continued, and I brought the vehicle to another mechanic, where the damage was found immediately. The frame had corroded to the point where the mechanic advised me to not even drive home, rather have the vehicle towed to the dealership to be assessed and checked for a recall. Multiple incidents similar to mine have been found - all starting after 100k miles - but none have resulted in an official recall notice.”

“The Dash above the glove compartment has developed a crack from some unknown reason. As this crack appeared the air bag warning signal began flashing. I called Nissan to let them know what had happened with the dash cracking and the airbag warning, and that this was a safety issue that has occurred through no fault of mine. They told me that there was no recall on the car and I was responsible. The dash should not just crack ! And If the airbag system is compromised due to this cracking I feel Nissan should be responsible to make the necessary repairs! The car has less than 60,000 miles on it and is under a roof when not being driven.”
