MY VEHICLE IS AT 22,000 MILES. I AM ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY COMES ON. NO SOONER THAN THE LIGHT CAME ON, MY CAR SUDDENLY LOOSES POWER, AND COASTS TO A STOP. I CALLED GILES NISSAN OF LAFAYETTE, LA, AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED IN. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT SET UP FROM 2 WEEKS BEFORE THIS FOR THE ALTERNATOR RECALL AND BECAUSE MY CD PLAYER KEPT SAYING CHECK DISC, AND WOULD NOT PLAY A CD. THIS HAPPENED THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE MY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. SO MY CAR IS AT NISSAN OVERNIGHT BEFORE I GET A CALL SAYING THEY ARE JUST GETTING TO MY CAR, AND THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A LOANER FOR ME. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE "THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR" THAT WAS BAD, AND THAT THEY HAD OVERNIGHTED THE PART, BUT THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND CD PLAYER WOULD TAKE LONGER. WHICH...

THE RECALL WAS FOR THE DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR. *AK *MR (12/05/05) *SC

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES THE CAR "DIED" WHEN I WAS GOING 65 MPH

ON JULY 2, 2005 WARNING LIGHTS COME ON (BRAKE AND ALTERNATOR). SINCE IT WAS BEFORE A LONG WEEKEND (JULY 4) WE COULDN'T DO TOO MUCH UNTIL JULY 5. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DELIVER VEHICLE TO ANY DEALER, SO WE WERE FORCED TO PUT IT IN A LOCAL GARAGE. ALTERNATOR FAILED AND BATTERY WAS DEAD AFTER 24,000 MILES AND 17 MONTHS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC, REIMBURSMENT FOR OUR EXPENSES ARE UNDER DISPUTE WITH NISSAN.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN MY STREET, MY 2004 MURANO (ONLY 7,000 MILES) LOST ACCELERATION AND I COULD NOT GET DOWN THE STREET. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED. I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY WHERE IT STALLED FOR GOOD. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR. IT WAS ALL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF COURSE, BUT I THINK THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO OTHER DRIVERS OF MURANO'S.

(1) I DROVE FROM CHAPEL HILL, NC TO WASHINGTON, DC THE MORNING/AFTERNOON OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE. I WAS SITTING IDLE (WITH CAR AND A/C ON) IN FRONT OF THE VIENNA, VA METRO STATION WAITING FOR A FRIEND. I WAS DRIVING MYSELF AND 3 OTHER PEOPLE TO A CONCERT BEING HELD THAT NIGHT (SUNDAY JUNE 26 2005) AT NISSAN PAVILION IN BRISTOWN, VA. (2) AS I PLACED MY CAR IN PARK TO DRIVE AWAY WITH MY 3 FRIENDS INSIDE I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 1 OR 2 MPH. I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE ENGINER WOULD NOT REV. I PLACED THE CAR IN REVERSE...SAME THING. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR REVVED. THE BATTERY AND PARKING LIGHT WERE ON. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR MOVING I DECIDED TO SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN....

DURING NOMINAL OPERATIONS, THE BREAK AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHICH WAS A SIGNAL THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAS FAILED. THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS ALTERNATOR FAILURES.

2004 NISSAN MURANO ALTERNATOR FAILURE AT 18,000 MILES ON ODOMETER.

THE BRAKE AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 15 MORE MILES BEFORE THE CAR APPEARED TO STALL. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I DETERMINED THAT I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, ALBEIT AT A MAXIMUM OF 5 MPH. LUCKILY, I WAS ONLY FIVE BLOCKS FROM HOME AT THE TIME AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR AND PARK IT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TECHNICIANS DETERMINED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AS THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WITH ONLY 6500 MILES.

BATTERY & BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, FEW HOURS LATER CAR STARTED STALLING, CAR THEN CUT OFF AND WAS JUST IDLE, COULD NOT ACCELERATE, DASH BOARD TURNED OFF, CAR SPUTTERRED THEN TURNED OFF. TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW

2004 NISSAN MURANO FAILED TO RUN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. WIFE ON WAY HOME FROM WORK AND THE CAR JUST QUIT ON A BUSY FAST EXIT RAMP OFF I-95. AFTER BEING TOWED TO DEALER THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. TO COMPLETELY STOP ON THE HIGHWAY TO ME IS A VERY RISKY TYPE OF FAILURE.

MY ALTERNATOR FOR MY NISSAN MURANO 04' SERIES FAILED AT 13K MILES. KNOWN TO BE A DEFECT ON ALL MURANO'S.

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. COULD NOT RESTART. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER (STILL UNDER WARRANTY), WHO STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED CAUSING THE BATTERY TO FAIL. DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY.

ALTERNATOR FAILURE

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

THE ALTERNATOR STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *AK

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.

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
