Not sure when it started bc I just purchased this vehicle a month ago. While driving one evening the head lights went off and I had to turn them off and back on. Now a few weeks later and after I've changed the bulbs and made sure the fuse wasn't blown it is doing it ALOT. I'm not sure if it is a wiring problem or if it is in the on and off switch.
While driving the vehicle will suddenly stop moving, loses acceleration ability & all the dashboard lights turn on. I had work done back in Feb 22 replacing cam shaft sensors. Now Dec 22 the same thing began happening again.
I am driving my car and the brake light came on battery light came on and then I lost power and it will charge the battery to battery tip acting like he was dead and I put a brand new battery in and it still did the same thing and it wasn't giving the battery any charge I haven't been able to dry my car I got it stuck on the highway it is was in M motion
Back in April my Murano would turn off whether I was accelerating or just sitting at a stop light, the brake light and battery light would come on and vehicle wouldnt start back up, ended up having it towed 3 different times to mechanic who couldnt figure out what was wrong because it wasnt showing any codes so from there had it towed to newton Nissan where it took them 10 days to diagnose it was the alternator (replaced battery first but that didnt work)ended up getting the Nissan alternator versus aftermarket for the warranty, get it back everything is fine, now in August alternator fails out again, back to newton Nissan we go, the replace "alternator" and when I get it back power steering isnt working so after the fixed that everything was fine until it started shutting off on me again like the very first time. Meanwhile ive had to pay over $1000 for the alternator work which was recalled however my VIN didnt fall under the recall. Engine compartment and hood of car are also so hot you cant touch them even after just driving 1 mile in 70 degreee weather however the temperature gauge isnt running high. Now the airbag light is flashing on and off upon starting. I tried cycling the engine nurmerous times but the light is still on. Nissan said they will have to replace whole unit for $5000 because they cant pin point airbag issue. Airbag issue isnt fixed and nobody can tell me if I have a working air bag or not. Im not sure if I need to contact an attorney because im now concerned about the safety of my 4 year old daughter while in the vehicle.
I was driving down the city road and it just felt like the car shut off and no longer got gas almost like an alternator would do I could put it in park and there would still be power you could hear the engine again I would put it back in drive or even tried a low gear no gears was making my car move but it would make sound in parkthe battery light and brake light then came on and my car died shortly after completely already workwhile studying your recalls I noticed the make and model of my car had certain recalls with the alternator of faulty wire in it when I try to report this they told me it was the wrong batch but it's funny my car is doing the same thing do to my car doing this you can no longer move your vehicle so it is dangerous it stops you right in the middle of the road you cannot gas it to go your website mentions a failsafe mode that it may have fell into

Battery and brake light came on at the same time while driving down a main street, light will turn on and off. After driving for around an hour car takes around 30 seconds to actually go when pressing on gas.
While driving on the street or highway ABS light comes on then vehicle stalls and rolls at about 2 mph and the car doesn't respond when I press the gas pedal. Usually the ABS light turns off then I can drive normally. The last time this happened the car turned off I had to push it out of the street and it wouldn't start up for a couple of hours, then the ABS light came on again and then it stalls with no response when pressing the gas pedal. This has happened over 10 times even after replacing the brakes and checking all the sensors, checking the battery and all of the connections and fluids.
Takara recall : while the car is in motion the engine will shut off at random. When the engine shuts off the car is pulled along the side of the road, and will start again. This has happened on multiple, almost causing serious crashes.
The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Murano. While driving approximately 15 mph and making a right turn, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration. Later, after parking the vehicle, it was discovered that the battery was drained. The battery was recharged and the vehicle was able to be restarted. The cause of the failures were not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 134,000.
While driving on the highway the 2005 Murano slowed down, I pressed more firmly on the gas and it did nothing. I pulled onto the shoulder of the highway and the car had shut off completely. I tried restarting the Murano several times with no luck. I had to call for a flat bed tow truck which took 5 plus hours of me sitting in the freezing cold with no power in my car in the dead of winter. Vehicle was towed home and I was told I needed a new battery. I went to pep boys and purchased a brand new battery and had pep boys install it for me. The next night as I was driving my fiance to his house the 2005 Murano again lost momentum and within seconds shut down. And again I could not turn the vehicle back on. I had to call for another flat bed tow truck and wait luckily only 3 hours this time for them to show up. I had the vehicle towed to my mechanic who replaced the alternator in the vehicle and another new battery. That was in November of 2018, it is now febuary 2019 and I have not had any electrical issues since. Why is this not covered under the recall that there was for the 2005 Nissan Murano" I do not understand why they refuse to cover the cost when they had to recall hundreds of thousands of this car for this issue and yet mine was not included????"

Takata recall..I drove my 2005 Nissan Murano and I parked the Nissan. 20 minutes later started to back the car and as soon as I put it on dr it went by 2 miles an hour so then I pressed on the gas all the way down and it still went to miles an hour it's still drove but it was going around 5 miles an hour. Then I parked the Nissan and let it cool off and see what was wrong. I could not find nothing, I called my husband he could not find nothing either, he drove it around the block and it still went 5 miles an hour so then he checked the engine nothing was wrong but it did say ABS and then around 20 minutes later the Nissan turn on and it went normal and nothing happened until 2 months later. The next time I was at a drive-thru and then all of a sudden the ABS turn on and it did not want to go fast it went again five miles an hour. Then I turn around the corner and then it went fast but then it went slow again so I park the Nissan, and begin to start it and then it wouldn't start the ABS went on again, then the battery was dead. I finally got a jump and it turned back on like normal and it went normal until I got to the store and I left the Nissan on with the air condition and had my son in the car. My son said that air conditioner keep going on and off on and off the windows were not working try to roll down the windows it wasn't working so then I got in the car and as soon as I put it in dry it didn't want to go it went 5 miles an hour then the ABS turned back on and then it went back to normal I was driving I made it all the way home and that is what's going on with a Nissan Murano.
Vehicle shut-off without warning while driving on the roads and freeway. Had to immediately put neutral restart engine several times. Took it to the dealership in bellevue ne and they only replaced the duct vent tube from the air filter.
