I have a 2005 nissan murano which is two wheel drive with the ctv transmission. we were coming back from vacation from colorado when the problem started. several times during the trip when we were coming down a hill with the cruise control on the car would try to maintain the selected speed however if the hill was a little to big it would turn off the cruise control it self. we were just south of san antonio the last time that it had turned off the the cruise. the problem was when it turned off the cruise it also disabled the transmission. it was rather scary as we were driving in rush hour traffic when it did it. we were coming down a hill when the cruise turned it self off and in the process the car started to slow down and we were in the middle lane. all we could do was turn on the right turn signal and hope no one would hit us. once we had gotten to the shoulder and stopped i had realized the engine was still running but the transmission wouldn't respond. i had put it in park and back into drive but the car wouldn't respond. i figured if i shut the engine off and restarted it that maybe it would reset whatever was wrong. i restarted the engine and the whole dash lit up. one by one the lights had gone out except the "service the engine soon" light. however the transmission worked and has worked since. by the time we had gotten home and gotten an appointment to take it in to a nissan dealer the light had gone out. we had taken it to the charlie clark nissan in harlingen texas and they had it for two days and never had a problem with it. the reason they didn't have a problem is that we have no hills as we live in the valley and there are no hills here. they said that they had checked everything that could cause the problem and everything was to specification. so nothing was adjusted , or replaced so as far as i'm concerned the problem is still there and the next time we get into the hill country it will probably act up again.

After purchasing a 05 nissan murano, a month later the airbag light started to flash. took it to the dealer and the airbag module was replaced and system was reset. in late 06 the airbag light start flashing again, the dealer reset the system, worked fine until oct of 08 at this point my extended warranty has ended. they reset the system and pulled the code from the unit. i was then told that the spiral cable aka clockspring cable is faulty that is the reason why the airbag light turns on at random times. i was quoted a little over $2000 for the repairs and was told there is nothing that can be done since my extended warranty has ended ask to talk to a manager and was told the same thing. also on the way home from the dealer that day the airbag light came on again, when i called them i was given the instructions on how to reset the airbag light. i ask the if the airbag system will work if there is an accident and was told they cant guarantee it will but it should if the system is reset and the light is not on. from that day to now i have to reset the system at least once every 2 weeks. the other issue that i've had is with the transmission seals leaking with causes the oil level to get low and makes it loud and increases the rpm while driving. i had the seal replaced 3 times, once under original warranty, once with extended warranty and just recently had to pay for repairs. and again asked to talk to a service manager about this since its the same part being replaced 3 times, and was told there is nothing that can be done since there is no extended warranty. *tr

Dt: the windshield is distorted. the glass is wavy, and it is hard to see out of. the windshield the problem was with the outer sides of the windshield. the consumer noticed the problem about two weeks after purchasing it. this occurred on april 5, 2005. when the consumer went to two different dealerships, he was advised that every vehicle of that year, make, and model had the same problem. when he contacted the manufacturer, they said that they were made that way. the contact states that the vehicle was supposed to be a 4-wheel drive, but it is only an all wheel drive vehicle when the road is wet. *ak *nm
