2017 NISSAN MURANO

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Nissan Murano, 2016-2018 Nissan Maxima, and 2017-2019 Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and unrepaired, or inspected and determined to not need a repair, under recall number 18V-601. In addition, this recall expands the previous population. The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) actuator pumps may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal circuit board.

Risk: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.

POWER TRAIN

Transmission randomly at the blue stopped. The car has a CVT engine and I see that there’s a recall on it. I also received a letter in the mail stating that there was a recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

MY TRUCK AIR CONDITION STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WIRE HARNESS HAD GONE BAD. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING, STALL AND POSSIBLY THE HEAD LIGHTS DIM WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THR DIM LIGHTS AND STALLING. I FEEL THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES. IT HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE MANUFACTER, POLICE OR INSURANCE. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO CHECK ENGIN LIGHTS ON SO THERE WAS NO WARNING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Rear lift-gate failed to latch. Paid for assessment and repair in August 2024. I was told it could occur again that there is hatch issue with this vehicle. Eight months later, the rear lift-gate failed to latch again. I took it back to the dealership. While driving, it is unsafe as the warning lights are flashing on the dash and an alarm is screeching for the entirety of the trip. You cannot safely drive a vehicle when the door will not latch. After inspection of the vehicle, they advised to repair the lock assembly($770) though $180 was paid at first assessment . I was told this may not be the final solution to the problem. This time there was no discussion of the hatch issue with this vehicle. Hmmm, there is an online forum for other Nissan owners with the same problem. I never received any warning lamps prior to the issue. The rear lift hatch was working until it wasn't. Thank goodness I was not on a road trip (I have two adult children who live out of state). It is unnerving and unsafe to drive while all of the warning lights and sounds are ON all while your rear door is unable to latch. In my opinion, this is a SAFETY issue. There have been two class action suits on the 2017 Murano. One for foggy headlamps and one for the CVT transmission. I did not join the suits. At the time I was contacted, my headlamps were not foggy, now they are. Knock on wood, I have no issues with my transmission. I can drive safely with foggy headlamps. I can NOT drive safely when my rear door will not latch. There are 3 buttons for this feature (the dash, the rear door, and the glove box). The button in the glove box allows you to turn off the auto lift feature. Even when you turn it off, the door will not latch. In my opinion, there is a faulty design. This should be a RECALL, not a repair. I am long past the days of soccer and basketball tournaments where a rear door gets a workout. It's just me. Having a door close and latch seems fundamental to the safety of a vehicle.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

daytime running lights with no taillights. LED daytime running lights are so bright on newer cars that they light the road enough to drive at night without turning the headlights on. the vehicle is completely invisible and black from behind. the dash lights are on all the time so there is no way for the driver to know they are driving at night with the headlights off. this is true with many auto manufacturers, a simple software update could repair most older vehicles on the road today, make the taillights come on with the daytime running lights, that would take care of the safety issue of drivers who forget to manually turn their headlights on at night. the following news cast explains the issue.
