IN DECEMBER 2017, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE BRAKES WENT SOFT AND ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE BLED. FOUR MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKES WENT SOFT AGAIN AND ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AFTER PUMPING THEM ABOUT 10 TIMES, THEY RETURN TO NORMAL. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME. SO FAR, THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKING BUT AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANY LONGER.

RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (ABS) ACTUATOR PUMP ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO. THE VEHICLE STARTED UP FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ISSUE AT ALL. IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT SO THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT ALL AND WE WERE TRAVELING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES ON CRUISE CONTROL (NO NEED TO BRAKE) UNTIL WE NEEDED TO EXIT. WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THERE WAS NOW A VERY LOW PEDAL, I HAD TO PUT THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR NOTIFICATION OF A FAILURE. WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY RECENTLY HAVE BEEN REPLACING SEVERAL OF THESE ACTUATOR PUMPS ON THE MURANOS.

WHEN I WAS COMING OFF OF AN EXPRESSWAY AND CAME TO A STOP, I HAD TO PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. UPON RESTARTING MY CAR, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A FAULT IN THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS WAS IMPEDING NORMAL DRIVING OPERATIONS...THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $2600 TO REPAIR IT, ALTHOUGH THIS IS A FAULTY CONDITION IN THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURING (SOMETHING I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR). I'VE HAD TO DISABLE THE ABS CONTROLLER IN THE MEANTIME.

1-10-2016 BETWEEN 7:00 AND 7:30 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME, CAR IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET. IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE AND SNOWING, THUS SLICK ROADS. BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. BARELY MOVED AND VERY QUICKLY ALL ELECTRRICAL COMPONENTS WENT DEAD. STUCK IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT AN INTERSECTION, I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS IN FEAR OF BEING REAR ENDED. MY HAZARDS FAIRLY QUICKLY GOT DIMMER AND DIMMER. CALLED 911 AND ASKED TO HAVE A PATROL CAR PARK BEHIND ME WITH LIGHTS ON UNTIL MY HUSBAND COULD GET THERE TO TRY TO JUMP ME. CAR WOULD NOT SRART. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON DOING THERE OWN THING. COULD NOT SHUT THEM OFF. EVENTUALLY THEY TOO DIED. COULD NOT PULL OVER DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CAR MOVED TO SLOW WHEN ISSUE BEGAN. PATROL CAR DID COME AND PARKED BEHIND ME WITH LIGHTS ON IN ORDER TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. HUSBAND CAME AND WAS ABLE TO JUMP START VEHICLE. ISSUE ALSO HAPPENED WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT, CAR IN MOTION. HUSBAND JUMP STARTED CAR. ALSO HAPPENED WHILE TAKING CHILD TO SCHOOL, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ACCELERATED AND CAR THEN GOT POWER BACK WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET. NISSAN TECH SAID NISSAN CONSIDERS THIS AN INCONVENIENCE. I WAS SCARED OB BEING KILLED. ALSO, MY PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON STATING IT IS OFF. HAS BEEN ON SINCE ISSUE BEGAN. TAKING TO SHOP TO BE REPAIRED TODAY, BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS THE ALTERNATOR BUT NOT 100% SURE. WILL KEEP ALL RECEIPTS AND OTHER RECORDS OBTAINED.

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO STUMBLE AS IF IT WAS FUEL STARVED AND WAS LOSING POWER AND WANTED TO STALL. PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND GOOSING THE GAS AT IDLE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS KEPT THE VEHICLE GOING UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CAM AND CRANK POSITION SENSORS. ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME TWO PARTS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED. THEY LASTED LESS THAN ONE DAY AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAJOR REPAIRS BECAUSE OF EITHER THE PARTS OR A COMBINATION OF THE PARTS AND INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS.

MY SUNROOF OVER DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS LITERALLY EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE- SUNNY 38 DEGREE DAY, NOT UNDER A BRIDGE OR NEAR OTHER CARS . THE NOISE WAS DEAFENING, AND GLASS CAME CRASHING ON MY (THE DRIVER) HEAD AND ON THE CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THE ROOF EXPLODED UPWARD LIKE A VOLCANO. NOTHING HIT THE ROOF, AS WE WERE SHAKEN BUT ABLE TO PULL OVER AND CHECK THE CAR FOR ANY EVIDENCE OF SOMETHING CRASHING INTO SUNROOF. BUT THE ROOF EXPLODED UPWARD AND OUTWARD AS IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT A LARGE CHUNK OF GLASS FROM ROOF WAS MISSING. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED, BUT THE SUN SHADE WAS OPEN. REPORTED PROBLEM TO NISSAN, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO GET BACK TO ME. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO STEM FROM A PRESSURE PROBLEM WITHIN THE MURANO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! SUNROOF IS BEING REPLACED, BUT I'M NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR, SEEING AS HOW THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN, AND WE MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND MAKE IT TO SIDE OF ROAD! NISSAN MUST DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM! THIS CAN POTENTIALLY BE A FATAL FLAW ON THE MURANO. *TR
