Problems with 2007 Nissan Murano ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My family has owned a 2007 nissan murano for nearly 8 years. in the last year, my wife has experienced extreme trauma as she has had the vehicle completely die on her while in the middle of freeways, highways, and residential roads. we have had the vehicle taken in and inspected by multiple nissan dealerships and each visit has only resulted in their recommendation of routine maintenance being suggested, such as transmission fluid exchange, brake repair, or battery replacement. our murano has recently decided to repeat these same issues after over a year of normal function. my wife was driving the vehicle normally and all of a sudden she began to lose power until the car came to a stop and the function of the vehicle stopped due to what appeared to be an electrical problem. after assessing the issue, i attempted to jump start the vehicle with jumper cables, which allowed the murano to start, but once it was independently idling, it would again lose power after an attempt to drive the vehicle. i am heavily concerned for the welfare of my wife and daughter as they drive this car daily. the nissan dealerships that i typically rely on for these critical repairs have been no help and i am at a loss for why this has happened with such a long time frame between issues. i hope that nissan will issue a recall on this problem and rectify any prior repairs that have been suggested as a resolution to the issue that may very well have not resolved the true issue at hand. i am in dire need of answers as to why a well maintained vehicle would be fine one minute and then completely inoperable the next. the vehicle has had many components replaced and maintained to prolong the life of the vehicle and with 180k miles has the potential to continue for many more. i don't want to pour money into this issue that nissan needs to address, as i am not the only one having dealt with this!

Traveling east on highway 287 through town my car lost all power so i coasted to the side of the road in the middle of heavy traffic. the car was still running but would not accelerate while in gear although it would in park or neutral. eventually it would quit and only start with a jump then run for a little while. the next day i went to go pick up my car on the side of the road having somebody give me a jump and then it wouldn't start at all. so then i went and got a new battery and it ran for as long as it took to run that battery down. i replaced alternator a year ago when i was having the same problem. i'm stuck i don't know what to do. does anybody have a solution?

I'm concerned about the vehicle's safety due to the fact that the engines stops while driving on the road. no warning lights or anything indicating a problem.

We have had trouble multiple times with the rear hatch not opening electrically (the only way to open it).we have had troubles with the door locks either not locking or just some locking at this moment neither key bob will lock or unlock them.

Takata recall: my car keeps stalling!! the whole left side driver side electrical doesn't work signal,headlights, brake lights my car is shaking on the highway

Been having major issues with the power of the vehicle. it's like shaking and not accelerating like it should be.

Airbag light lit constantly, other indicator lights, brake, voltage, intermmitently go on then off. power windows open by themselves when the car is parked and locked.

I had to replace my altenator 3 times. i bought the car 2 years ago at 90,000 miles. when it first went out, i bought one from autozone, then 4 months later is went out. i had a warranty thru autozone on the parts so the part was replaced but i had to cover the labor cost. 2 months later the altenator replace it again but i wanted labor cost covererd this time. they agreed to cover the part and labor. there must be an electrical problem with these cars. i ve read other owners of the same car having the same issue. if nissan doesn't fix this for free, i will never buy another of their cars because i can't believe multiple times. i had two different mechanic so it not the person, it's the car, i believe so. the other problem i've had it that the air duck intake hose keeps disconnecting, it will cause my car to miss file and run very ruff, like poor performance. it can make the car shut off while driving or at a stop sign.

I was driving my car in the middle of traffic when i pushed on the gas and the vehicle wasn't moving anymore. the battery and brake light both came on. after a couple of minutes i was able to move my car to the side of the road by pushing on the gas. but the car wasn't moving fast. after a couple of minutes evrething came back to normal. my vehicle is in the mechanic shop right now and my mechanic told me the alternator is going bad. i will be replacing the alternator.

Takata recall got a vehicle from a small business and car no good they repulled the vehicle 2 times

This car has an electrical problem. the dash board lighted components flicker back and forth from dim to bright when the headlights are turned on. the headlights when turning on go from really dim to normal when turning on. i have noticed this at night while driving. when going to buckle my son in his car seat the seat belts thin the rear lock and do not release. unless all the slack it it is returned to normal. which sometimes takes 3 to 4 times to be able to buckle him into his seat without the seat belt locking

Rear crossmember has rusted connecting control arms. causing suv to slide through curves and extreme camber in rear tires. wearing out new tires and almost causing me to wreck

In the past 2 weeks while driving my car, it randomly, completely shuts off. i have no electrical anything. my car will start right back up once i stop and turn the key. this happens several times anytime i try driving (just in the past couple of weeks) on the highway 70-80 mph or just down the street 25-40 mph and has also happened twice when i am making a turn! it is scary when i lose the ability to steer my vehicle.

The charger warning and brake warning lamp will immediately came. the engine slowed down and the car could only go 10 mph. this happened while turning onto a busy street. drove the car 2 mph back home.

Car cuts off while driving. sometimes it wouldn't move. it would start again then cut off again. no radio, lights or anything. just dead. it has happened more than once. the latest incident was today 03/11/2018 7:30 pm.

Takata recall, car cuts off while driving and i've had my alternator replaced three times within six months. it doesn't matter where you are, the car just shuts down while in motion

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. from out of nowhere, the contact noticed burn marks on the front and rear seats and tailgate. in addition, the ceiling inside the vehicle and glove compartment had burn marks. the vehicle was taken to west covina nissan (205 n citrus st, west covina, ca 91791, (626) 732-1000), but the mechanic only wanted to repair the upholstery of the vehicle rather than the other affected areas. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 160,000.

2007 nissan murano 1) vehicle began to drive in a sideways motion,on main city street: turned out that majority of frame rusted out. 2) driver and passenger windows go down while vehicle engine is turned off.

Overheating shutting off very dangerous recall is needed it has the same problem as the recall

The car was parked and it did not start at all.. happened twice in one month. had to be towed, took it to the shop and they didnot find anything wrong because the car was working ok. and this also can happened when i was driving my car. the car stop working no lights no brakes nothing was working. took it to the shop and the same thing. the car was working again. also i received a letter from nissan saying that there is a problem with a part that doesnot let you fill up your gas tank and they said that they have extended the warranty for this part but they cannot replaced it until you have this problem.

While i was driving i stopped at a restaurant and when i tried to roll my windows down, the power locks, windows, alarm, seat adjuster, brake pedal/accelerator, rear hatch stopped working. no power to the main window switch panel. just stopped working one day.

While driving the power locks, windows, seat adjuster, alarm and lift gate stopped working. no power to the main window/lock switch on the drivers side.

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

The power door locks on the front passenger door and trunk will not open when the weather is warm. the nissan dealer says the actuators are probably to blame and it is a common problem. the repair is about $600 per lock. there is no key hole to use to gain access from the outside. the only key access is the driver's door. this creates a safety problem, especially for trunk access by elderly folk, who have to climb into the trunk area to open the trunk.

The horn of my vehicle was not working i take it to the dealer for and idea they told to call nissan of north america at( 888 nissan 1)

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. the contact stated that the horn did not work. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the failure occurred several times. the vehicle was taken to autonation nissan pembroke pines (8890 pines blvd, pembroke pines, fl 33024, 954-949-0421) and the contact was referred to the manufacturer. the failure was neither diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty was expired. the failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

I was driving down hwy 100 in milwaukee at approximately 40 mph when the car suddenly died in the middle of the road, fortunately no accident was caused because of the sudden stop. the car would not start after this stop. i pushed the car into a nearby parking lot and took the battery into a local hardware store. the battery was dead and needed to be charged. i re installed the battery and got the car started (the engine sounded loud) and drove to the auto store and had the alternator tested - it was dead. i started to drive the car home and it would not go above 30 mph and the cel was on. the next morning i had the alternator replaced (sunday), the battery kept it's charge. i took the vehicle to the nissan dealer on monday morning - they determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. i got my car back after 2 weeks and drove it home. i did notice that the there was a slight whine - i thought it was with the replaced transmission. i got louder each dayand i took it back to the nissan dealer, but the noise would quit after it warmed up. the nissan dealer determined that it was the high pressure power steering hose. these events appeared to be caused by a previous event - (1) alternator (2) transmission (3) high pressure power steering hose, all started november 27 2014, and lastly ended on february 10, 2015, hopefully. *tr

Car loses its electric power...shuts down in the middle of driving. the seat belts in the back do not work. the driver and passenger seats shift. *tr

My vehicle hatch back will not open unless i use the emergency lock which is located inside the vehicle. this concerns me because if there was an emergency where i would need to open the rear hatch from the outside i wouldn't be able to. *tr

Warning air bag light does not shut off. keeps blinking power windows go down by itself half way down, intermittently. opportunity for theft and rain damage.. *tr

Driving on the interstate. abs lights, brake lights, and odometer stopped working. smelled burning from under the hood. took it to a nissan dealership who determined that the fuse box was faulty, the abs module went out as well as the ecm. dealership said that my air bags were not functioning since the incident, and that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. when searching to find out what happened, found numerous incidents of nissan vehicles having the same exact issue. *tr

When i turned my engine off, got out the truck and locked the doors the vehicle turned back on without me being in the truck or putting the key in the ignition. i do not have an auto starter. this happened on three different occasions. the first time we didn't even recognize it happened and it drained the battery, the second time we thought we were hallucinating and the last incident on monday, july 15, 2013, it was 8:30 am and i was exiting the vehicle to go in to my place of employment when the vehicle turned back on. i instantly thought i locked the keys in the truck when i noticed they were in my hands. i unlocked the doors tried turning it off three times and finally on the fourth try it stayed off and didn't turn back on. i felt bad because i thought my daughter was trying to scare me about the car starting on its own. there's also an issue with the car pulling to the right all by itself. *tr

Rear hatch stopped working. since it can only be opened from the inside (with the panel removed) this is a safety issue. there is no handle on this year model that will work without electrical assistance. when the open button is pushed (either from inside the car or on the key fob) there is no sound indicating that the rear hatch is being contacted at all. we have tried replacing the fuse and a control module but neither of those have corrected the issue. there absolutely should be a manual latch on the rear hatch so that it can be opened without the assistance of the electrical system. *tr

Pedals on my 2007 nissan murano are moving on their on accord. appears to be defective wiring. dealer wants me to pay $315 to fix. they had agreed two years ago to fix the problem when i purchased the vehicle and they never did. this is a serious safety issue. *tr

1. this is safety hazard and my biggest concern driver seat, left bracket broke. i was told by nissan dealer this is common problem but not covered by my platinum extended warranty which i purchased at team nissan in oxnard, ca i was also told the entire seat needs to be replaced to fix this problem. i have seen online that many people have had the same part break. i would hate to think about how this seat might break completely loose in a crash causing the driver to be propelled out the front windshield & possibly killed. nissan needs to recall & fix this part! 2. passenger front window goes up & down randomly. .i have to keep the windows locked so it doesn't go down making my car vulnerable for theft because more than a few times i came out in the morning to find it down. also, when trying to put it up, once it closes it then rolls right back down. 3. electric door locks sometimes don't all lock with key fob. usually driver door & sometimes other doors don't lock when using key fob. i have to check all four doors every time i lock the car. *tr

car stalled 3 times, once in the middle of a busy intersection and twice on the freeway almost getting into several car accidents do to intake coming apart. took the car to dealers to get fixed found out the car was a recall, wasn't happy about that. the car salesmen did not tell me it was recalled. otherwise i would have reconsidered getting this vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. the contact stated that while parked, she noticed that the passenger side air bag warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. the technicians stated that the front passenger side seat belt would have to be replaced. the air bag warning light continued to illuminate after the repair. there was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 08v521000 (electrical system: software), that may be related to the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in the recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

2007 nissan murano. after i lock the doors the windows go down all by themselves. this is a safety issue. it happens all the time a lot of people have this problem with their murano's. the consumer stated the rear door was closed and appeared to be latched securely when he drove off. however, the door flew open in the middle of the street. updated ivoq 04/27/11 *tr

Doors can be unlocked and the car ignition can be started without a key, and there is no way to lock the ignition, and no way to stop anyone from opening the doors. this creates an extremely dangerous condition for car jacking and harm to the occupants. *tr

The battery has been replaced twice in the vehicle and it has less than 35,000 miles on it. the first replacement was done when the car was only about 6 months old and i just recently had to have the battery replaced again. the second battery was supposed to be an 84,000 mile battery and was under warranty. however, when i was driving it, the car died on me and would not start again. the battery had less than 26,000 miles on it. nissan fought us on the replacement even though it was under warranty, but we finally got another one put in. we are on our 3rd battery in less than 3 years. this same vehicle had an engine mount crack at 32,000 miles and has also had the radiator replaced at 34,000 miles. it has been in the shop 4 times now in the last 2 1/2 months. when the radiator went out, the gauges did not even say that the car was running hot. i discovered the issue when my car started smoking everywhere and coolant was all over my vehicle. nissan insists that it is not an electrical issue of any kind and that the gauge can still read cool if the radiator goes out and the car is smoking. all in all, i now have the 3rd new battery, a new radiator, and a new engine mount. the drive belts have also cracked, but nissan refused to do anything about that. *tr

The car engine shut down all of sudden while driving at about 60mph on an interstate highway and didn't respond to action on accelerator. the car stopped in the middle of the highway and 2 police cars came and pushed the car out of the highway. the car was then towed to a service center. according to a diagnosis, we were informed that the cause is the failure of the fuse box. power comes in the fuse box but does not come out. and also we were informed that this failure is uncommon. the part was replaced. however, we are now very concerned about the safety and reliability of our car because the above critical engine failure occurred to our fairly new car while driving. we purchased a new car and the car is a little over 2 years old and its mileage is only about 19k. *cn

The battery used in nissan murano 2007 is defective and goes down within 12 - 36 months for most vehicles. when most of the batteries in the us provide at least 36 months of warranty, nissan made its own policy to cover 100% only for 1st 12 months, and then start prorated charges. they conceal the defect during a sale/lease, but it's very common. i had to pay $75 in order to replace the battery that is only 24 months old. they replaced with another defective nissan battery, and refused to replace with a reputable battery such as interstate. i stayed at the dealership for about an hour and saw four similar suvs came in, all with the same complain. i spoke to some nissan owners and they all agreed that their batteries went down just after 12 months. nissan used to offer 36 months warranty till 2005, and then started to reduce the warranty, and now it is only for 12 months. they should refund my payment as well as to other owners who were forced to replace the battery within 36 months as the company claims bumper to bumper coverage for this period. then they should replace with a reputable battery such as interstate until they fix the problem of their battery. *tr
