2021 Nissan MuranoRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“The crash sensor light keeps engaging while driving, even when the vehicle is parked or idle. There is nothing in site to indicate a crash. Vehicle was taken to dealer on 5 or more occasions and finally it was replaced in December 2024 after Nissan Corp. got involved. The vehicle engaged the brakes while driving on the highway when NOTHING was present to indicate danger. This was mentioned to Nissan and the dealer (AutoNation) on my last visit in January 25 and the dealer stated they could not reproduce the issue, although the problem still exist, I was told by the dealer that it's normal. Nissan Corp mentioned a senior mechanic will investigate, but was never sent to dealer. Instead, I emailed video of it happening to customer affairs at Nissan. The senior mechanic (Nissan Corp) and the mechanic at the dealer provided reasons like a piece of lint could be on the lenses (not while driving 55mph), could be sunlight blocking the sensor (what about at night), or the lenses could be dirty (maybe but not really). This seem to be a danger when driving and all of a sudden your brakes are engaged automatically while driving and the only reason given was possibly lint.…”

“The fuel gauge no longer works and the speedometer is inconsistent. The 2021 Murano has a digital spped read out that can be used.

“While accelerating to merge into traffic and make a left turn, the vehicle briefly hesitated, which has occurred previously. After completing the turn and straightening the vehicle, I fully released the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle continued accelerating and maintaining speed without accelerator input from me. The vehicle appeared to maintain approximately 54 mph in a 45-mph zone while I was not pressing the accelerator pedal. I applied the brakes, but the vehicle did not immediately decelerate. To regain control, I shifted the transmission into Neutral. Once the transmission was in Neutral, the engine RPM increased briefly and then quickly returned to normal, and I was able to slow down and stop safely. This occurred at approximately 6:00 PM on Saturday, June 20, 2026. There was no floor mat or anything else blocking or touching the accelerator pedal. After I stopped, the vehicle seemed to drive normally again. The vehicle has also had a recurring condition after startup in which the engine sometimes revs higher than normal for a short time before returning to a normal idle. I am including this as an additional observation. The continued acceleration…”
