My 2003 nissan murano stalls out on me while driving, and multiple times just today 06/07/18 while driving at a normal speed limit, vehicle just slows down causing me to put my hazards. i was not able to accelerate. this is a hazard for myself and more important my children who ride in this vehicle with me. my vin# does not have a recall, but reading other consumer's comments there is a major issue. it's my hope that this can be recalled so that we the consumer's will have a piece of mind and be safe while driving on the roads.
My car was running sluggish and low power when turned on lights, when tested battery it was fine but voltage low so i guess its not charging battery. doesn't start alot of times. engine runs hot quick, put new battery did same and one day the battery and brake light stayed on and then while driving it just stopped like i was giving it gas but car wasn't moving. now it wont start at all. there may be a tiny oil leak but don't know from where and it drives rough but they say my shocks and struts and suspension and everything is ok. *tr
Vehicle shut off while backing out of a parking space the first time, i did not think much of it. two days layer the vehicle shut down while i was driving 50+ miles an hour. would not crank back up until i pressed the gas pedal really hard as i cranked it. *tr
Start having problems with my 2003 nissan murano around 80,000 miles. the car started to skip while running and soon after, the car seems to have no power. sometime after driving it for 20 mins or more mostly coming off the highway, i would experience no power when accelerate". after turning, the car off and allow it to sit for 10 mins. the problem did not repeat until again driving over 20 mins and repeat as above. my service engine soon light came on shortly afterwards. i had my local autozone to run a diags test and two codes came up p0011"camshaft position bank 1 & p0021 camshaft position bank 2. i took the car to nissan dealership and they too ran a diags test and both codes were present for failed intake timing sensors. they said the cars oil pressure was low and recommended a change. nissan replaced both camshaft censors on 1/08/09. total repairs & labor was $430.00 on 06/01/09 again the car was repeating the same problems. i took the car back to the same nissan dealership and they ran another diags test. again, codes p0011 & p0021 were present. the service tech explains the reason for the code was due to insufficient oil changes. also, explain the car needs the 90000 mile service treatments. they performed the 27-point inspection "all" changed air filter, battery service lube locks, oil & filter change rotate tires. total repairs and labor $334.99. when i pick the car up, the car still did not have the power it normally had before all the problems, however the engine check light was off and the tech told me to drive it and bring it back if problem occur. my total repairs this time $334.99. the car continue to miss & skip and would continue to have a loss of power and would delay when accelerating after driving more than 20 mins in 80 degree temp. i am still having problems; my vehicle should be part of the 03v455000 recall circuit board for the crank position sensors. *tr

Stopped behind a truck and as the driver started to go around it, the vehicle first swerved towards the right and as the driver tried to stabilize it, it swung to the left hitting another car and then swerved to the right and of the road, hitting a tree. basically the driver lost control of the vehicle. *ak
I was driving on the highway going about 65 mph on a sunny day (i.e., the raod was dry) when the car, on its own, started veering into the right hand lane. i attempted to straighten the car by very gently the steering wheel to the left, but it was as if i had no control over the steering wheel at all. the car skidded across 4 lanes of traffic and into a series of 360-degree turns. eventually, the car stopped turning, facing south in a northbound lane. it continued to skid backwards, and only came to a stop when it hit a lightpole on the shoulder of the road. although the the rear of the car was totally destroyed and the car was assessed as needing major, major repairs, my insurance company refused to "total" the car is it was only about 6 months old and had been driven less than 5000 miles. with no options available to me, i had the car replaced, but sold it the day it left the repair shop as i consider this car to be a deathtrap and refused to set foot in it following the accident.*ak
