We have classified the 1 complaints from 2003 Nissan Murano about EXTERIOR LIGHTING into the following categories.
I was driving my nissan murano going 45mph when suddenly the engine light flashed, the air went out, and the car shut off. i was pressing the gas but it wouldn't do anything and it suddenly shut off. i've been to several shops that can't find a problem so they told me about the recall on the 2003 nissan murano. they think it's maybe electrical or engine cooling. *tr
When using the turn signals, it is too easy to cause the headlight control ring to rotate, turning the headlights off. has happened on several occasions. *nm
Battery and brake indicator lights on dashboard came on. next evening (approximately 10 miles later), the lights dimmed and electrical accessories failed while driving down a 4 lane road. moments later the car went into "limp mode" (less than 5 mph). i was able to navigate off the road, but couldn't move very far. the engine would run fine (while the car was in park or neutral), but would immediately go into limp mode when shifted into gear. following a couple of restarts ... the battery finally went completely dead and couldn't restart engine. towed to nissan ... replaced alternator.*ak

My vehicle is equipped with a stalk on the left side of the steering column that controls the headlights, fog lights,low-high beam function and turn signals. the headlight/parking light/automatic on-off control is accomplished by rotating the end of the stalk. the foglights are controlled by rotating another ring further down the stalk. high-low beam is controlled by pushing the stalk forward or back, the turn signals are operated by moving the stalk up or down. it is nearly impossible to rotate the foglight ring without also inadvertently rotating the headlight switch, thus turning the headlights off. also when using the turn signals, particularly for a left turn or lane change, it is too easy to also cause the headlight control ring to rotate, again turning the headlights off. this occurred last night on i-80 in heavy traffic but has also happened on several earlier occassions and needless to say is very disconcerting, very scary and of course very dangerous. i feel that the nhtsa should look into the function of this control to see if a recall or retrofit is warranted. *ak
