2004 NISSAN MURANO Electrical System Problems

VEHICLE HAD RECALL ISSUED ON JULY 14TH, 2005. THE RECALL WAS CHANGING THE ALTERNATOR. OUR VEHICLE HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THE RECALL WAS TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT FAIL WHILE DRIVING (SHUT DOWN). OUR VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON 9/28/06, AFTER IT HAD RECALL PERFORMED. IT HAD THE EXACT CONSEQUENCE AS IF THE RECALL HAD NOT BEEN PERFORMED. *NM

WHILE DRIVING, BRAKE WARNING LAMP SUDDENLY CAME ON. ACCELERATOR STOPPED RESPONDING. THEN EVENTUALLY, THE ENGINE DIED. *NM

DT: THE ENGINE STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 35 MPH. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAD COME ON, PRIOR TO THE ENGINE STALLING. THE HEATER MOTOR BLOWER STOPPED WORKING AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE STEERING WAS LOST. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE HAD COME TO A STOP, THE CONSUMER SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED. *AK THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. *SC *JB

2004 NISSAN MURANO SE AWD WITH ONLY 1901 MILES HAD THE ALTERNATOR FAIL TODAY. THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER LEAVING MY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR USE POWER STEERING OR BRAKING FUNCTIONS. OCCURRED ON LOCAL CITY STREETS---HAD THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. DEALER TECH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR. DEALER HAS ORDERED A REPLACEMENT PART (ALBEIT A REMANUFACTURED ONE AND NOT A NEW ONE) AND WILL BE REPLACING IT TOMORROW. THE

ALTERNATOR FAILURE ON 2004 NISSAN MURANO WITH 4026 MILES ON IT. 1. FAULTY START, BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. 2. CAR COMPLETELY LOST ACCELERATION THEN POWER. 3. TOWED TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP- NEW ALTERNATOR INSTALLED- REPAIRED AT NO COST TO CUSTOMER. *NM

1) LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND BLINKING DASH LIGHTS (VDC ON/OFF, ABS, BATTERY) AND STRANGE NOISE THROUGH STEREO 2) SMELL OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AT HIGH HEAT 3) SMOKE IN CABIN, SMOKE FROM UNDER HOOD. *JB

ALTERNATOR FAILED. *AK PE04077_CAT

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED THEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK PE04077_CAT

ALTERNATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC SO THE SPEED WAS ONLY ABOUT 10 MPH BUT I THINK THAT HAD I BEEN GOING 65 THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT ETC. WOULD BE VERY LIKELY. YOU LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, IMAGINE PULLING OFF ONTO A STREET WITH A FAILURE LIKE THIS AND A CAR COMING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION? STEERING IS SLIGHLY COMPROMISED AS WELL. AGAIN, I WAS LUCKY AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY.*AK PE04077_CAT

ALTERNATOR FAILED AND CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY DURING NIGHT TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING A CAR. THANKFULLY I PULLED MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND CALLED 911, BECAUSE I HAD NO LIGHTS AT ALL BECAUSE MY CAR TOTALLY DIED AND I HAD A BABY AND A WIFE IN THE BACK SEAT. *AK PE04077_CAT

I RECENTLY HAD MY 2004 MURANO AT 12,000 MILES TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON, ON THE WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING AND CONTINUED TO BE ON ALL DAY. BEING THAT THERE WAS NO SIGN OF TROUBLE EXCEPT FOR THE WARNING LIGHT AND NO NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA OF WHERE I WORK I PROCEEDED THROUGH MY DAY. I HEADED HOME AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO GO ACCELERATE AND WENT NO WHERE AS IF I WAS IN NEUTRAL. I IDLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I COULD TURN THE TRUCK ON AND OFF AND STILL I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I IDLED TO MY HOUSE FORTUNATELY WAS AROUND THE CORNER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE PERSON ASKED IF I COULD GO IN REVERSE SO I TRIED AND I COULD. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND SURPRISINGLY WAS...

I OWN A NISSAN MURANO 2004 AUTOMOBILE. SINCE OCT. 6 2004 I HAVE HAD A BATTERY & BRAKE LIGHT COME ON & OFF. ON OCT. 9 WITHIN THE MORNING TIME FRAME THE BATTERY, BRAKE, ABS AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT BEFORE I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. ONCE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THE MURANO WENT NO WHERE. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO START AT ALL. I TRIED BOOSTING IT AND THE MURANO DID TURN ON BUT THE CAR DID NOT GO ANYWHERE. I DID SEND IT THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN OF JERSEY CITY, N.J. DID FIX MY PROBLEM IN A VERY QUICK MANNER. IT SEEMED TO BE A ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY ALTERNATOR WITH AN UPDATED VERSION. *NM PE04077_CAT
