My 2009 Nissan Murano had a bad battery and starter, after replaced them the ABS/VDC/Slip control light were illuminated and ABS function lost. I searched online and found a lot of the Murano owners had the same issue by just replacing a battery then got these DTCs. At the end we found Nissan know this issue and issue a TSB for repair with customer's expense. They know this is factory issue but not recall it or even not notify their customer, it's safety issue and still need the customer to search it and repair with the customer's money (to pay their faults). TSB: NTB10-113a
When driving at a slow speed and applying full brakes, the car rather than stopping quickly took more time to stop and thus resulted in an accident - collided with the car in front. There was a recall for this car in 2019 for exactly this problem - R1814. Apparently, the fix the dealer has performed didn-??t alleviate the problem. I sincerely request you to perform a thorough assessment of the recommended fix for this recall to safeguard others from this serious safety issue. Also, if possible, I request you to arrange for assessment of my vehicle to confirm if my ABS concerns are true which I truly believe they-??re.

While trying to make a turn in a busy intersection, the car stall and loses power it goes into a limp mode. The car slowly limps out of traffic to the side. Note VDC off and 2 red - neg sign brake light is on. Turn the ignition off for a few minutes. Turn ignition back on and no problem. The car starts up no problem. I had the brakes check out and no issues. I took to Nissan dealership. They said it is the alternator. I had new alternator put in 6 months ago. Took back to the company who put the alternator on He said it is working. They said this car notorious for the CVT transmission issues. This problem has happen twice in traffic. This is not safe.... I am afraid to drive this car.
Brake pedal now goes to floor before brakes engage. This occurred after stopping suddenly. Mechanic changed master cylinder and bled system but no change. No warning lamps on dashboard.
The brake pedal gets really stiff, hard to depress and the brakes gradually engage until they almost stop the vehicle. All the brakes get extremely hot when this occurs.
My vehicle inspection report on 01/04/2021 recall advisory stated "your vehicle has one or more recalls". I followed all instructions and found that there is a problem with my nc valve.
Took in my vehicle this morning to get 4 recalls fixed, and dealership stated they could only fix one of the 4 issues. Spoke to a representative and she stated the issues for the model of the SUV were not included in the VIN number, therefore the dealership couldn't assist with all 4 issues. The lights on the dashboard of the SUV are on and all pertain to the 4 issues not included in the VIN. How can I get these included in the VIN number so the dealership can fix the issues? the issues are as follow: NHTSA campaign number: 18V916000 NHTSA campaign number: 09V393000 NHTSA campaign number: 08V521000 NHTSA campaign number: 08V066000
Brake system brakes locked all 4. when I drive it sounded like rattling once I made it home backed up it jerked then call a mechanic and he said brakes are locked dnt drive.
I was driving the car and stopped at a red light. When I hit the gas to go when the light turned green the car would not go. It took about 20 seconds before it would go and when it did it acted like I had my foot on the gas pedal which I did not. It has done this numerous times. I replaced the fuel pump and took it to a mechanic twice. Nothing that has been done has fixed the problem. I have almost been rear ended several times due the fact that the car stalls.
Nissan preformed work on this vehicle for recall # recall 18V916000. A year later the same exact problem occurred and Nissan says we are now responsible for the bill because they only have to attempt to fix recalls once

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the brake master cylinder was replaced however, the vehicle failed a second inspection. The contact was informed by the inspector that the vehicle was subjected to NHTSA campaign number: 18V916000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to hall Nissan Virginia beach (3757 bonney rd, Virginia beach, va 23452) and repaired however, the failure persisted. The contact was informed that the brake booster and brake master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
There was a stabilizer that was not connected on the right front side. Found out when I was in the mechanics. As for the brakes they have worn down quickly and had problems. Including a driver side rear line. The tire pressure warning light remains on even when tires are balanced.
Would lose brake pressure going over a manhole cover/any uneven surface while braking, generally braking to a stop. This would happen periodically for about a year (2016-2017). On 9/3/2017 I was braking for a red light, went over a manhole cover and lost all brake pressure. Vehicle would stop but you would need to press the pedal to the floor. I brought my car to the dealership where they determined the ABS control unit was inoperable. The dealership replaced the unit 9/14/17. I contacted Nissan and was given a case number (28309423) but was never contacted. I am reporting this now as my VIN is not included in the current recall and I feel it should be.
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the brake pedal had to be depressed for an extended amount of time and almost to the floorboard before the vehicle would come to a stop. The vehicle failed to stop immediately and took an extended amount of time. Hawkinson Nissan (located at 5513 miller circle drive, matteson, il 60443, 708-252-3769) diagnosed that the ABS had no failure with the hcu. The dealer flushed the brake fluid, but did not replace the hcu. The repairs were performed per NHTSA campaign number: 18V916000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the failure continued. The contact took the vehicle to a certified independent mechanic who informed the contact that there was a valve issue regarding the ABS, which was a mechanical defect. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.
My wife was driving the vehicle on a frigid night and she felt that she needed to pump the brake until it hits the floor to stop, next day as she was driving from our garage it just slid off the sloped driveway. I needed to drive her to work in another vehicle. I had the brake pads replaced because the mechanic suggested that the sponginess of the brake might go away if I have a new brake pad. After the replacement it was if nothing was done to the brakes it was stillspongy.
