WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF 2003 NISSAN MURANO; IT HAS ONLY 92K MILES, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND WELL MAINTAINED. THE REAR WHEELS JUST STARTED TILTING INWARD AT THE TOP; A MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE REAR SUBFRAME AND SUSPENSION WAS ROTTING, AND ADVISED THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO WORSEN UNTIL THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE JUST COLLAPSES. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. NISSAN IS IGNORING IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT (THEY USED CRAPPY STEEL), THAT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD, AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THEM. SEARCHING ONLINE REVEALS MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE, MANY JUST RECENTLY MADE, AND AS A CONSUMER IT IS VERY UNFAIR TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON A NEW VEHICLE AND KEEP IT NICE AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL, EXPECTING IT TO LAST FOR A FEW MORE YEARS TO COME, TO SURPRISINGLY HAVE THE SUBFRAME FAIL ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN TWENTY YEARS OLD AND NOT EVEN AT 100,000 MILES.

THE CAR STALLS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF RUNNING/DRIVING. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE DAY. THAT MORNING I STARTED THE CAR, IT WARMED UP FOR 5 MINUTES, DROVE 15 MILES TO WORK, IT STALLED AS I PULLED IN TO THE PARKING LOT. IT RESTARTED BUT WAS SLOW TO DO SO. THE CAR SAT FOR 5.5 HOURS WHILE AT WORK. I STARTED THE CAR WITHOUT WARMING UP, DROVE 20 MILES, IT STALLED A BLOCK BEFORE MY HOME. IT RESTARTED SAME AS EARLIER THAT DAY. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WEEK, HAD THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR REPLACED YESTERDAY. TODAY, STARTED THE CAR, LET IT SIT IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER 30 MINUTES IT STOPPED RUNNING. IT WILL RESTART BUT TAKES A FEW SECONDS. *TR

AS I WAS COMING OUT OF A TUNNEL DRIVING NORMALLY AT 55 MPH, MY MURANO JOLTED AND SURGED IT'S RPM INTO THE RED. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. AFTER GOING ONLINE AND SEEING THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NISSAN HAS NOT CONDUCTED A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I CALLED NISSAN CANADA TODAY AND GOT NO WHERE. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 200 KM. WHICH MY CAR NOW AT 158K AND 2014 DO NOT APPLY. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AS NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS FAULTY PROBLEM AND IS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED. SHE SAID IT WASN'T NISSAN WHO MAKES THE RULES ON RECALLS BUT THE NHTSA. WHICH TO ME IS JUST A COP-OUT! WHAT COMPANY PRODUCES A FAULTY PRODUCT AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT! *JS

THE VEHICLES DRIVE TRAIN FAILED AND WAS TOWED TO LIA NISSAN IN ENFIELD CT. WAS TOLD THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND WAS COVERED UNDER THE 10 YR /120,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE TRANSFER CASE WAS DAMAGED BUT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE TRANSFER CASE IS PART OF THE CVT AND SHOULD BE COVERED. I HAD TO PURCHASE THE PART FOR 2,100 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY MAY CHARGE FOR THE PART TO OFFSET THE COST OF THE CVT WHICH COSTS AROUND 5,000. NISSAN HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEIR DRIVE TRAIN AND SHOULD BE COVERED OR RECALLED. *TR

MY NISSAN MURANO 2003 HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I WAS ON A HILL IN SAN FRANCISCO AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR; INSTEAD IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND THE CAR RESPONDED FINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. THEN 5 MONTHS LATER, I WAS IN A STOP AND OF TRAFFIC ON I80 ON MY WAY TO LAKE TAHOE. THE CAR REFUSE TO MOVE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN. I STARTED PRESSING HARDER AND IT LURCHED FORWARD. IT DID THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN THE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I FINALLY PULLED OVER AND CUT OFF THE ENGINE AND STARTED BACK UP; THE CAR RESPONDED FINE THEREAFTER. HOWEVER, IT KEPT REPEATING THE SAME PROBLEM; EACH TIME I WILL RESOLVE IT BY RESTARTING THE CAR. LUCKILY, IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO IT WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME. THE CAR PERFORMED WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM UNTIL 2006. THE PROBLEM REARED ITS UGLY HEAD. I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. SO WE HAD THAT CHANGED, BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. THE MECHANIC RESET THE CAR COMPUTER AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. AGAIN, IT DIDN'T REALLY COST ME MUCH OTHER THAN THE BATTERY. THEN IN 2009, THE CAR AGAIN STARTED DOING THE LURCHING THING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT'S ALWAYS IN THE SAME SITUATION. I KNEW I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY THEN AND IT WOULD COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG SO I JUST DEALT WITH IT BY RESTARTING THE CAR EACH TIME AND PRAY THE TRAFFIC WILL MOVE FASTER SOON. IT'S NOW 2011 AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM PAST NISSAN MURANO OWNERS, I REALLY THINK NISSAN OWES US SOME MONEY. IT SHOULD'VE BEEN A RECALL SINCE MOST OF US PAID $35K+ FOR THIS CAR. MY CAR NOW HAS 145K MILES. I AM IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CAR. I LIKE THE CVT. MAYBE WILL TRY A SUBARU INSTEAD. *TR
