#140 of 147 murano owners/potential buyers beware by bigsucker Sep 19, 2008 (8:20 am)
In the last year, my pampered 03 Murano has fallen apart:   transmission valve body failed both front struts leaked and failed catalytic converter failed oxygen sensor failed exhast manifold CRACKED IN HALF! (while idling) TRANSFER CASE CRACKED IN HALF! (leaving my driveway at 4 mph)   Full quoted cost for these repairs at dealers = $8000.00+   Just Goggle the web under Murano drive train, transmission, transfer case failures and read thousands of postings both low and high milage, I read nothing but posts on similar failures for 4 HOURS after mine failed.   This is obviously a known problem, have yours checked while in warranty, and don't let dealer tell you that a whirring noise is just coming from your tires! I trusted them, big mistake! Thank God I wasn't in traffic when this occurred, it could have caused a serious accident.   PLEASE if you have experienced the drivetrain/transmission/transfer case trouble, REPORT IT TO THE NHTSA so they can force Nissan to recall and repair this defect. They need to hear from the victims of this defect to investigate it.   These are also unacceptable repair costs, shop for your parts yourself. I found the transfer case, an original new OEM part, from another Nissan dealer online for $1200.00 less (delivered) than our dealership was going to charge us. OUTRAGEOUS! Gouging for the parts, on a known problem!   This is not just sour grapes, I have two 90's era Dodge pickup trucks with over 200,000 miles on each (one is approaching 300,000), an '83 Jaguar with 170,000, a '99 BMW with 105,000, a '96 minivan with 140,000, the '87 minivan I sold 6 years ago is still on the road. I take good care of my cars. Never had a problem car like the Murano.
#141 of 147 How to report to the NHTSA by ziyway Sep 27, 2008 (9:24 am)
Your complaint must be about safety and the endangerment of lives in order for NHTSA to pay attention to your complaint and proceed with a recall. See the complaint I am going to communicate:   I drive a 2003 Nissan Murano SL AWD. The vehicle periodically does not safely accelerate while in busy traffic. I had my wife, 1 year old son, 6 year old daughter, and 7 year old daughter in the car at the time of making a left turn at a major intersection. The vehicle sluggishly stalled in the middle of the left turn at the intersection and temporarily stalled and could have caused us to be hit by oncoming traffic. The engine reved up to about 4000 rpm's then proceeding to accelerate. I see this problem as a major safety and health issue and can be the root cause of a major accident resulting in death to involved parties. Please be proactive as opposed to reactive and start the process for a recall of this defective vehicle.   I also tried to file an online complaint but the website is not functionining properly. You may have to call   Contact ODI (888) 327-4236 TTY: (800) 424-9153   http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm

#143 of 147 Planning on buying a 2005 Murano SE AWD by light9 Sep 30, 2008 (6:44 am)
I read a lot about 2003 and 2004 tranny failures. How reliable is 2005? does anyone know if Nissan fixed the valve/tranny issues for the 2005 model?   Any help is really appreciated!!! Replies to this message: computerbill (Oct 01, 2008 6:03 am)

#145 of 147 2003 Nissan Murano Prpblems by wkp0000 Sep 30, 2008 (10:27 am)
My 2003 Nissan Murano had same symptoms as the others but I took to my local mechanic and he replaced Mass Air Flow sensor. Been 1000 miles since; no problems so far other than being out $ 700 for a Nisan problem. No more Nissan vehicles of any type for me and I will tell everyone not to purchase any of them.   WKP

Replying to: light9 (Sep 30, 2008 6:44 am) Again, the service bulletin issued by Nissan covers all Murano's from 2003 - 2007. AT05-009a.
#147 of 147 my 2005 murano by m0mzilla Oct 04, 2008 (8:27 am)
Yep - it's the 2005's too. I had to replace my tranny at 68k miles. It was a $6k bid, but after complaining and mentioning this blog, the dealership said they/Nissan would cover half but I was still out $3k. Just make sure you buy the extended warantee!!
