My daughter was driving my Nissan Murano to school pulling on to a four lane highway accelerating to get up to the speed limit when all of a sudden the vehicle lost power and started to decelerate, she was almost rear ended by a trailer truck. She heard a grinding noise and was able to coast into the median to remove the vehicle from traffic. She was quite shaken by the incident as was I. I had the vehicle towed to a repair garage only to find out that the transmission was in pieces inside the pan. I understand by reviewing many web sites that this has happened to numerus Nissan owners. Does someone have to be killed before a recall or a warning is initiated? it appears Nissan has washed their hands of these defective transmissions as well as the broken driver seat brackets and rear disc break slid pins that freeze up and cause the caliper to heat up, rear wheels and ultimately the tires. If Nissan (who is very aware of the defects) or NHTSA doesn't make Nissan Murano owners aware of the danger, someone will have a fatal accident and it will be too late!

My Murano suddenly would not accelerate and the ABS and brake lights illuminated. The same exact description of the original recall for the alternator. I had to tow to dealer and luckily I still was under extended warranty so it was mostly covered. Called Nissan this morning and they informed me that the recall was already performed for my vehicle in September of 2006. Obviously they didn't learn from their original mistake. They should be doing repair again for free and paying for the battery that got fried in the process.

Two main problems with my 2004 Nissan Murano.... biggest is brake problems. Brake pads and rotors have been replaced twice and there is still a noise when braking along with bad vibration when slowing down. The vibration can be felt in the steering wheel. Also, there is a clinking noise in the engine when taking off at slow speeds. It sounds like the motor is going to drop. This has been to expensive to fix, so I continue to drive it as is. Very unhappy with the quality of this vehicle. Many repairs including small that aren't worth having the vehicle. No dealer wants to take as trade in.

I have a 2004 Nissan Murano and have experienced several problems to date. First, after about one year of ownership the idler pulley bracket cracked (2/21/06) and had to be replaced. For the last year the brakes have squeaked and when brought to the dealership they reported they could not find a problem. Currently (9/02/07) I am experiencing the same idler pulley bracket problem and will have to take the care in to be serviced and inconvenienced once again.
