The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the air bag warning light had been illuminated for several years. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the passenger air bag sensor was defective. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano the end of June. The first time I drove it on a wet road I almost lost control, and I was driving well BELOW the speed limit. The next week I got different tires put on and took it for an alignment. The first independent service center I took it to showed me where the rear subframe on BOTH the driver and passenger were completely rusted through, and they told me I should drive the vehicle as little as possible until I got it fixed. I took it to a second independent service center to see if it could be fixed without having to be completely replaced, they told me they could not, nor could an aligment be done and that I should stop driving it immediately. I had only had the car for a month and a half before I had to park it. This is a MAJOR issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan!! I don't have the money to have the car fixed, nor can I sell it. …
PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR. This is blinking on my dash. I looked it up in the manual. It stated that the airbag may not deploy in an accident. I also got a recall notice for this same problem and called the dealer. They said that my vin was not included in the recall even though I had the same make, model and year and the same problem. I had a problem with this when the vehicle was new, they fixed it. They wanted two hundred dollars to look at it. Why is this safety problem in my vehicle not included?
I see the air bag light on and won't turn off for about almost a week and a half after i Purchase it a week later this year and it lightly shakes when I put on drive ,don't know if that will be another issue . Hopefully I can have your company gide me in the right direction to solve this problem .
The driver side airbag did not deploy in a major accident involving totaling the entire car. The passenger airbag deployed, but not the driver airbag. The vehicle was in motion, driving down the interstate and involved in a head-on collision, going 70 miles per hour.
I own a 2007 Nissan Murano that I bought used 1.5 years ago. There are two serious safety issues that the car has and for which Nissan has had to recall thousands of other vehicles. I just cannot understand why my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall. It's just too coincidental and Nissan should be held accountable. Recall number 09V169000 recall date 05/19/2009 component engine and engine cooling the intake air ducts, which are connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, May separate from the resonator with engine movement. This separation occurs due to the premature aging of the material used in the intake air ducts which causes excessive shrinking. …
Driver's seat - the bracket in the rear left that supports the seat broke while driving. Air bags - the air bag light is on and will not go away. When I purchased the vehicle in feb. 2016, the dealer assured me it was just a glitch in the display. Engine - started running rough about a week ago, while we were headed out of town. Cancelled that trip. Threw a "cylinder 3 misfire" code. My husband replaced that plug and coil and it continued to run rough. Today, it overheated and started dumping fluid on the ground. The suspension is also failing. When we hit a bump or pothole, it feels like the front end is going to fall off. I loved this car when we bought it and when it runs right, but right now, I am completely disgusted. I have only owned it for two months. I feel like we were robbed and we aren't in the financial standing to replace it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the horn failed to sound when pressed. The steering wheel needed to be turned in order for the horn to operate. In addition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. Furthermore, when the front driver's side window was not locked, all the other windows would operate independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the clockspring cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.
2007 Nissan muranos were part of a voluntary recall involving the passenger airbag sensor. Nissan states my VIN number is not part of that recall, however, it is the exact same issue as the recall for the same make, model and year. At this time the passenger airbag will not deploy in an accident puting passengers at risk for ingury or possible death. The VIN number should be included in the recall. Please investigate asap so passangers in this vehicle are not at risk. Thank you! The consumer requested an update.
