Please recall electrical system, started out the doors not locking and trunk wont open then inside lights would not come on. I put my steering wheel down lower and when I did the car would not start. The inside lights come on when the car wont start then when I move steering wheel back up the lights go back off and the car will start again. The all wheel drive lock button will not work and the all wheel drive kicks in and out on it's own while driving the vehicle. While my children and I were on our way to town the vehicle started to lose power and the steering wheel was hard to handle then the all wheel drive locked in and out and then power was back. It was scary and it almost caused me to crash and people to crash into me from sudden speed reduction. The mechanics I take my vehicles to told me I'll have to take it to a Nissan dealership to get the electrical system taken care of or replaced.
On March 14th, I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano from a private owner. I was told the throttle bottle needed to be replaced. After replacing the throttle bottle the Murano felt like it lost all power when I accelerated but the vehicle was still on. Contacted the seller and he said they've never had any transmission issues or anything. I followed up with getting the spark plugs changed, transmission fuel and filter changed, a brand new battery and an oil change. This worked for about a month up until early April of 2021. The vehicle now seems as though it's in limo mode. No mechanic wants to work on it and I feel completely cheated and at a total loss. Vadden Nissan constantly has an excuse not to work on my vehicle and at this point, it's just very frustrating. I've spend thousand of dollars on this vehicle only for me to still be at square one. I'm also afraid for my safety being in traffic and having to turn on my safety hazard lights. The vehicle will drive normal if I restart it but goes right back into limp mode.
My Murano has been stalling to pick up speed have replaced over $1500 in parts. But still cant locate the problem, at the mechanic shop they said it could be the solenoid sensor but they dont know if it could be it.when driving on highway sometimes it will not pick up speed and will only drive 30 to 40 mph. Other times while driving on highway it will stay at 60mph and will not go over. The engine looks a bit shifted as well I don't know what could have caused it. And it makes a really ugly loud squick that we have been trying to fix but don't know if it could be because of engine shift.no accidents issue has been going on for more than 3 months.
While driving the vehicle it may randomly stall causing the motor to shut down while the car is in use making it very unsafe. Also random over heating and stalling I've changed both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor also the radiator and the thermostat nothing fixes it. There was a recall on my vehicle but I need to be put on the list I was left out.

My car is totally just crap! I've replaced coil packs, alternator, mass air flow sensor, battery, hub assemblies, catalic converter, and a lot more and it still has major problems! I believe it has electrical problems because my radio gets a loud static. It seems like it has a hard time accelerating. Then starts shaking real bad at about 20-40mph, then does fine above 60mph"?"
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal. On several occasions, the engine continued to rev very highly before the vehicle abruptly accelerated at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer and local dealer (nelson Nissan, 800 w. queens St, broken arrow, ok) were notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 129,000.
Takata recall the engine in my 2007 Nissan Murano stalls at one point it shut iff on me while driving my son to school. The air bag light is blinkg so there a peoblem with the air bag there is a problem with the speed control the vehicle slows down and it will not pass
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.
Everytime I am in a slow speed my truck putters and jerks like its shifting into another speed. I dont have a manual. My seat feels like someone is pulling on it when nobody is near me. My engine light came on and my tire presure battery keeps dying on me.
First noticed it kept popping out of all wheel drive in a snow storm while driving 15 mpr. Next issue was driving on the interstate at 65rpm the speed kept decellerating or sticking like it had a govanor on it at 65. Now I can not drive it for more then twenty minutes without it decellerating. It won't shift just sticks at 3rpm and the speed will not increase. Took it to the dealer three times. First time they said it was a bad battery. Second time they hooked it up to check engine machine. It did not throw a code so they said it was saft to drive. Coming down a mountain it started bucking and speed decellerated very quickly. Thankfully I was not hit from behind. Seems like a transmission problem to me but having a hard time getting nissian to replace it. Very scary and unsafe.
I first noticed a "burning rubber smell" that mechanics could not duplicate. At about 80,000 miles the car began to lose power when I would accelerate. I began hearing a loud squealing noise that to me (a total car novice) sounded like belts. Because of the power surges problems and not changing gears (rpms were low when I accelerate) I have been afraid to drive this vehicle. When I took it to the dealership (instead of my local mechanic) I was told to leave it there because it was unsafe to drive. Apparently it is a "transfer case" defect that they are going to repair at a huge expense to me. After searching the internet for this problem with other Murano owners, I was shocked at the number of Murano transfer case problems there are out there. I have definitely lost my confidence in Nissan because of this.
I had at least 3 accidents in my Murano whereby I hit the person in front of me. I was almost stopped or stopped, but the accelerator kept on pushing therefore, hitting the next car. Because it happened 3 times in 2 years and I am not careless, I feel it could have something to do with the minor idle fluctuation or poor acceleration described in Nissan Murano model 2007-recall notification. Please advise what recourse I may have other than just fixing my car; which I intend to do.
