Summary:
ON THE EVENING OF AUG 4, 2004, I WAS DRIVING HOME, NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED ON MY NEW (6500 MILES) NISSAN MURANO. I PLANNED TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER THE NEXT DAY, AS SOON AS I COMPLETED TWO UNCHANGEABLE APPOINTMENTS. AS I STARTED TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT ON THE SECOND APPOINTMENT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MY HUSBAND, WHO CAME TO GET ME. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. DIAGNOSIS: FAILED ALTERNATOR. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS NOT HAPPY. THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART, AND THE REPAIR WAS FINISHED ON THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY, AUG 10. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD 4 OR SO FAILED ALTERNATORS, AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN HAD NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES. THE REPAIR HAS BEEN FINE, THE DEALERSHIP LOANED ME A VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT IT OUT OF TOWN. THEN I STARTED TO CHECK THE INTERNET, AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF ALTERNATOR FAILURES. I AM THANKFUL THAT MINE HAPPED IN A LOCAL PARKING LOT INSTEAD OF ON THE ROAD. *AK

2. Other Nissan Murano Reports

One forum person wrote,

""I have an 06 Murano and I love it, but one of the strangest things I have ever encountered owning a car is that my brake pedal squeaks.  It happens all the time when I press on the brake and it's annoying. 
Does anyone know what can be causing this?njjoe

Wow, that's the first time I heard that happening to a MO.... That's not an uncommon problem. Several members have reported the same squeaky brake pedal. Unfortunately there is no easy fix. WD-40, silicon spray, etc. have no effect on the squeak.  The only true fix is to have the brake pedal assembly replaced, hopefully under warranty. You can take a look in the PROBLEMS section of this forum to read the numerous threads pertaining to this issue. Some are very recent. " www.Nissanmurano.org.
