Failure with 2009 nissan murano transfer case after 60,000 miles seems to be a big problem and nissan is not taking responsibility , causing the customer thousands of dollars for repairs, seems that their is a defect , where you hear a humming noise coming from your front passenger side tire and no check engine light to alert you some thing is wrong until you shows up at a dealer ship to check out the noise and get bang for $3000, this a con game nissan is using to ripoff hard american working people, this con game need to be investigated, since their are so many complaints from murano owners about this existing problem . *tr

Both fobs (car keys) went bad on my 2009 nissan murano, unable to lock and open doors using the fob. i had to remove the key from the fob to unlock the doors. at night this was a safety issue as i had to struggle to take the key out of the case in the dark. replaced batteries in the fob and did not resolve the issue. on january 22, 2014 i mailed a letter to nissan of america asking for reimbursement of the new fob i had to purchase. nissan was unable to offer financial assistance with the replacement of the fob as the vehicle being outside of the new vehicle limited warranty. as i expressed my concern to nissan that a car key should never have to be replaced. these fobs are manufacturing defects i understand replacing a battery but not the entire fob. the cost of one fob was $239.61. *tr

The keyless remote appears to lock the doors and set the security system. the door handle was pulled allowing entry into the car while it was thought to be locked. the alarm sounds but the car can be accessed when it appears and sounds as if it is properly locked. only the drivers door locks. the door can be opened while in motion from the inside. *tr

I purchased my murano 5 years ago and i've had a few issues but been very happy with purchase other than 2 things! 1 the wheel valves have been a common issue in on my third set of tires but i'm constantly having to air them due to the valve in side the tire! mine isn't listed under recall it there is a recall on other nissan with same issue. the second my stereo locked up cds and the warranty didn't cover this was a week after purchase that was. wet disappointing after paying over 30,000 for it! *tr

On tuesday, august 2, 2011, i was driving on a major expressway. while trying to exit from the expressway, the steering wheel on my 2009 nissan murano locked, making it impossible for me to turn it. i was almost hit by an 18-wheel semi-trailer truck. the incident resulted in black skid/tire marks on the side of the road by my car and the truck that was trying to avoid from hitting me. nissan's contracted towing service had to tow my vehicle into nissan's shop since the vehicle could not be driven safely after the incident. on august 3, the service advisor called to say that the problem with the steering wheel had been fixed. he indicated that the steering wheel would not turn because of a faulty serpentine belt. he said the serpentine belt was replaced, that they had test drove the vehicle before its release to me, and that the vehicle was now safe to drive. it should be noted that my nissan had previously been in nissan's shop barely a week before the august 2nd incident, on july 21st, for other defect issues which were covered by warranty. when the car was in the shop for the july repairs, the service representatives had indicated that they had done a full inspection of the vehicle. what is interesting to me is that during the full inspection, nissan did not discover anything wrong with the serpentine belt then. if the belt were wearing away, nissan should have been able to discover and disclose the wear and tear during the full inspection in late july. even after the serpentine belt was replaced on august 3, 2011, the steering wheel is still difficult to steer. i'm not sure whether this is a manufacturing/design defect, but i think this should be looked into carefully since this is obviously a serious safety issue. if a driver is slowing down to get ready to turn but suddenly cannot turn because of a problem with the steering wheel, another vehicle traveling behind could easily hit the driver in front. this could result in a tragic accident. *tt

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 nissan murano. while driving approximately 70 mph the contact noticed that the air conditioner failed. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the technicians stated the front bumper on the vehicle had three small holes which allowed debris into the engine and damaged the condenser. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 34,600.

I was driving last night and my air bag sensor started blinking in the dash for no apparent reason. less then 6 months ago i had the same issue. i contacted the dealership and nissan consumer affairs to inform them of the problem. they had my car for almost a month and i thought it had been fixed. this is the second time for this issue to occur. i do not in anyway feel safe in this car. it goes back to the dealership to be repaired again and i want it permanently fixed. i don't know the equipment details so you'll have to check with nissan. i had to put something in order to proceed with complaint. *tr

I recently had the opportunity to drive a 2009 nissan murano equipped with their "smart key". similarly, i also drove a 2007 lexus gs with a "smart key". i have found that both vehicles can be shut off and exited with while it is inadvertently left in the "park" transmission position. although a barely audible chime rings, a driver can exit the vehicle and if the vehicle is on an incline, it can roll freely!! i am astounded that there are no "neutral safety" controls on these new vehicles. standard key ignitions prevent the driver from releasing the key in any position except "park" ... not so with these new "smart key" cars! i foresee many accidents occurring unless some correction is made in this "option". i don't understand how a government vehicle safety check would overlook this flaw. *tr

Damp patches appeared on the original alu rim 20'. it happened app. 3 months after using my new car. i have reported this fact to service during maintenance, but i was brushed off (it was my filling). additionally the middle holes have sharp marks after rotating and balance in dealer service. i want to highlight that all works with wheels and tires have been discovered in service. i have reported this fact too, but without effect. because original surface or alu rims was so easy changed color (permanently) i assume that quality of materials used to produce this part of rims are very poor and in effect it can be reason some incidents connected with broken rims. of course my car is still in warranty and i hope that nissan will agree to change broken rims in my car asap to avoid any disasters. *tr
