2007 NISSAN MURANO Engine Problems

I'VE ONLY BEEN DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO CAR THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED USED FOR 3 WEEKS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED JERKING, SHAKING, SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD THEN IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD. THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I CALLED THE POLICE, THEY BLOCKED THE LANE I WAS IN AND CALLED A LOCAL TOW TRUCK SERVICE THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT WAS AN EMERGENCY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND THE POLICE COULD NOT CHANCE TO WAIT FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEND A TOW SERVICE.

AS I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC (APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH), I APPLIED THE BRAKES AT THE STOPLIGHT AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS, THERE WAS NO POWER, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV UP. WITH CARS FLYING BY ME, THIS WAS TERRIFYING FOR ME AND MY GRANDDAUGHTERS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MISDIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, TWICE. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, MY MURANO BEGAN TO RANDOMLY SKIP/HESITATE WITH STANDARD RPM AND EXTREMELY HIGH RPM. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH, SAYING THEY HAD REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE "PROBLEM " IS THERE, STILL THERE. ALSO THERE IS NO GUARANTEE/WARRANTY ON WARRANTED WORK. I NOW HAVE NOTHING.AND SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT IT WILL FAIL IN TRAFFIC.

ON THE WAY HOME FROM NISSAN SEVICE CAR STOPPED HAD TO BE TOWED. NISSAN SHOP DIAGNOSIS 3 CAM SENSORS NEEDED REPLACING. $789.00 LABOR COST AND NIQSSAN PARTS TOTAL LESS THAN $350.00. ALWAYS SERVICED AT THE GARAGE AND WAS GOING TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. NOW DEFINITELY OUT OF THE QUESTION AFTER THIS TREATMENT. THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS HAD TO BE MANUALLY RECONNECTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WERE AGING PREMATURELY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

NISSAN MURANO 2007: FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HARNESS IS OPEN OR SHORTED, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT POOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. ENGINE LIGHT ON (SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT), INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL READING. ALSO, WEAK ENGINE MOUNTS, RIGHT SIDE ENGINE MOUNT AND LOWER FRONT BETWEEN ENGINE AND RADIATOR. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE IS A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

STARTED MAKING A NOISE AS A FLAT TIRE, I PARKED IT. NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IS THE TRANSFER CASE AND WANT $ 3,500 TO FIX IT, I RESEARCHED ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND LOTS, TOO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE, NISSAN HAS TO BE AWARE OF THE BAD QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT AND ASSUME THE THEIR PART ON IT, OR PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS. THANK YOU *TR

THE CAR STALLED AND STOPPED SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. HAD IT TOWED AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE. *JS

THERE HAS BEEN OIL LEAKING FROM MY OIL TANK FOR OVER A YEAR. I WENT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE O-RING OR SEAL ON THE OIL TANK AND THAT THEY TEND TO GO ON THIS MODEL CAR. IT IS A $400 FIX. IF THIS IS COMMON IN THE MURANOS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST FUMES WERE PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON FOUR LANE BLVD THE ENGINE SUDDEN CUT OFF AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT BY TRUCK BEHIND ME, I HAD NO PRIOR WARNING NO ENGINE LIGHT, ROUGH IDLE ETC. THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO SUDDEN ENGINE CUT OFF NEED TO BE INVESTIGATE BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 15MINUTES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF AND ALL POWER WAS LOST, NO IGNITION POWER NO POWER STEERING. GOOD THING I WAS NOT IN THE CENTER LANE OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN A SIMILAR RECALL# 36089 ON THE 2004 NISSAN MURANO. THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO SHOULD ALSO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THIS COULD EASILY BECOME A FATALITY ISSUE! *TT

THE OIL PAN IS SO CORRODED THAT THE OIL BLEEDS THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE OIL PAN. THERE IS AN ENAMEL OR POWDER TYPE COATING ON THE OIL PAN THAT IS GONE. IT'S ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH THE VEHICLE BEING AS NEW AS IT IS. OIL PAN SHOULD BE A STURDY PART OF YOUR CAR AS IT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE AND HOLDS CRITICAL FLUIDS. THIS TYPE OF LEAK COULD BE A FIRE SAFETY ISSUE. *JS
