complaints of stalling Make: NISSAN Model: MURANO
Manufacturer : NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Year : 2004
Component :
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
Date Investigation Opened : November 19, 2004
Date Investigation Closed : March 25, 2005
Summary:
ODI OPENED PE04-077 BASED ON 14 REPORTS OF ALLEGED ENGINE STALLING DUE TO
ALTERNATOR FAILURE. ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS REPORTED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE
RESTARTED AFTER THE STALL OCCURRED. DURING PE04-077, ADDITIONAL FAILURE DATA WAS
IDENTIFIED AS NOTED IN THE FAILURE REPORT SUMMARY ABOVE . DURING THE
INVESTIGATION, NISSAN IDENTIFIED THAT THERE HAD BEEN ALTERNATOR WARRANTY
REPLACEMENTS DUE TO AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE ROTOR COIL CAUSED BY WIRE FATIGUE.
ODIS ANALYSIS SHOWS FAILURE RATES THAT ARE OF CONCERN TO ODI AND INDICATES THAT
THE ALLEGED DEFECT IS CONTINUING TO OCCUR IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES. ODI'S
ANALYSIS ALSO SHOWS THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE ALTERNATOR WARRANTY CLAIMS SUBMITTED
RESULTED IN ENGINE STALLS AND AT LEAST 25% OF THE ENGINE STALLS RESULTED IN A NO
RESTART CONDITION. HOWEVER, IN 71% OF THE WARRANTY DATA SUBMITTED, ODI HAS NOT
BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE CONSUMER COULD RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS
PRELIMINARY EVALUATION HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS TO FURTHER
INVESTIGATE THIS CONCERN, TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL SAFETY-RELATED CONSEQUENCES,
AND TO DETERMINE THE SCOPE OF THE AFFECTED POPULATION.

Summary:
WE BOUGHT A NEW 2004 MURANO END OF OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR - SINCE THEN NOTHING BUT
MAJOR PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT 60-65 - 5 TIMES THE CAR HAS SEEMED TO COME
OUT OF GEAR AND SLOWING US TO A SLOW PACE THEN NO PACE OR POWER - FORTUNATELY
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. WE PULL CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD -
TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND NO PROBLEMS AT LEAST FOR AWHILE. WE NEVER KNOW
WHEN IT WILL COME OUT OF GEAR OR DOWNSHIFT WITHIN SEONDS LEAVING US WITH NO
POWER - NEEDLESS TO SAY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIND
PROBLEM - EVEN CHANGING THE TCM -(TANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE - WHATEVER THAT IS)
THEY SAY UNTIL THEY CAN CAPTURE THE CODES - WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRS - THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. ASIDE FROM THIS SERIOUS FLAW - WE LOVE OUR MURANO - WE JUST
WANT IT FIXED. WE'LL DROP IT OFF AGAIN TO THE DEALER TOMOOW FOR THE 5TH TIME - I
FEEL THEY WILL BE OF LITTLE HELP - ALTHOUGH THEY ARE TRYING. I'M NOT SURE WHERE
WE WILL TURN NEXT WITH THIS PROBLEM - I GUESS I COULD PURSUE LEMON LAW BUT I
REALLY DON'T WANT TO - I JUST WANT THE CAR FIXED AND SAFE! I WANTED TO ALERT
OTHERS IN CASE THIS PROBLEM EXTENDS TO OTHER MURANO'S AS WELL. WE HAVE 2,000
MILES ON OUR MURANO AND SACRIFICED GREATLY TO PURCHASE IT - WHAT A MAJOR
DISSAPPOINTMENT. WE ARE LIFE-LONG NISSAN DRIVERS AND WE ARE GOOD FRIENDS WITH
THE EMPLOYEES AT OUR DEALERSHIP. TIM.*AK

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

VIN : Not Available
Component: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
Summary:
IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING 2 SEPARATE 2004 MURANOS AROUND THE MIDDLE OF JULY
2004, WE HAD THE DRIVER-SIDE DOORS ON BOTH VEHICLES INTERMITTENTLY LOCK ABOUT
20% OF THE TIME. THE ENGINE CAN BE RUNNING OR NOT, THE KEY CAN BE IN THE
IGNITION WITH THE ENGINE OFF, OR THE KEY CAN BE OUT OF THE IGNITION ENTIRELY.
THREE SEPARATE FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES EACH ON BOTH
CARS. FORTUNATELY, THERE HAVE BEEN NO DIRE CONSEQUENCES YET. I HAVE WALKED HOME
FROM THE MAIL BOX TO GET THE SECOND KEY. MY WIFE AND HER FATHER HAVE BEEN AT A
GAS STATION AND COULD ENTER THE CAR THROUGH ONE OF THE BACK DOORS. POTENTIAL
SAFETY ISSUES: BEING COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON A ROAD IN THE
DESERT WITH NO WATER AND UNABLE TO GET INTO THE CAR; MY WIFE BEING OUT ALONE AT
NIGHT AND UNABLE TO GET INTO THE CAR FOR HER CELL PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP; A
CHILD OR ANIMAL BEING LOCKED IN THE CAR IN THE HIGH HEAT IN THE ARIZONA DESERT
(AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A REAL TRAGEDY). WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL
TIMES AND TAKEN THE CARS INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. OUR SERVICE MANAGER SAID
HE BELIEVED IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW. APPARENTLY THERE HAD BEEN A SIMILAR PROBLEM
WITH THE 2003 MURANOS, BUT NISSAN SAYS THIS HAS BEEN FIXED ON THE 2004 MODELS.
IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED ON OURS. NISSAN'S CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMS THERE HAVE BEEN
NO OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THAT WE (THE CONSUMER) WERE THE PROBLEM. IT IS HARD TO
BELIEVE THAT THREE SEPARATE PERSONS ON TWO DIFFERENT CARS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS
HAVE THE SAME ISSUE IF THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. AND THIS IS WITH
ALL OF US BEING MINDFUL OF THE PROBLEM AND BEING CAREFUL HOW WE CLOSE THE DOOR.
AS A LAST RESORT, I HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER TO MR. CARLOS GHOSN, CEO OF NISSAN,
N.A. APPRISING HIM OF OUR DIFFICULTY AND OF OUR INABILITY TO GET ANY HELP
WHATSOEVER FROM NISSAN. IN SHORT, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. NO REPAIR HAS BEEN
MADE. NISSAN HAS ESSENTIALLY INFORMED US THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM, WE DO.
CAN YOU HELP? *AK

VIN : Not Available
Component: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:LOCK
Summary:
THE REAR HATCH OF MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO SE HAS A HYDRAULIC LIFT THAT CAUSES THE
REAR HATCH TO MOVE TO A FULLY OPENED POSITION WITHOUT ANY HUMAN ASSISTANCE
(BEYOND PULLING ON THE EXTERNAL REAR HATCH LEVER TO INITIATE THE PROCESS).*AK ON
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2004, THE REAR HATCH HYDRAULICS FAILED ON 5 SEPARATE
OCCASIONS TO LIFT THE HATCH OPEN BY MORE THAN A FEW INCHES. WHEN I MANUALLY
LIFTED THE HATCH TO AN OPEN POSITION, THE TOP CENTER EDGE OF THE HATCH CAUGHT ON
THE REAR CENTER EDGE OF THE ROOF, CAUSING BODY DAMAGE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, NOW THE
HATCH WILL DOES NOT OPEN FULLY WITH ANY CONSISTENCY, EITHER AUTOMATICALLY OR
MANUALLY DUE TO THE BODY DAMAGE. WHEN THE DAMAGED REAR HATCH TOP EDGE CATCHES ON
THE REAR CENTER EDGE OF THE ROOF, ANYBODY TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE
REAR WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY SQUEEZING THROUGH THE OPENING. I'M TRYING TO GET A
NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE (SURPRISE, SURPRISE, THEY ARE TRYING TO
EXCLUDE COVERAGE FOR REPAIRING THE DAMAGE FROM THE VEHICLE WARRANTY), BUT
THOUGHT NHTSA SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE REAR HATCH FAILURE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
TRAPPING PEOPLE IN THE REAR.

MY DAY. I HEADED HOME AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO GO ACCELERATE AND WENT
NO WHERE AS IF I WAS IN NEUTRAL. I IDLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I COULD TURN
THE TRUCK ON AND OFF AND STILL I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I IDLED TO MY HOUSE
FORTUNATELY WAS AROUND THE CORNER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE PERSON
ASKED IF I COULD GO IN REVERSE SO I TRIED AND I COULD. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND
SURPRISINGLY WAS ABLE TO GO FORWARD SO I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. ON
MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 65 TO 70 IN THE EVENING TRAFFIC
WENT TO ACCELERATE AND WENT NO WHERE!!! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DOING 5
MPH WITH NO WAY GETTING TO THE SHOULDER WHICH WAS SO DANGEROUS. FINALLY A KIND
PERSON LET ME GO IDLE TO THE SIDE TO WHERE I COULD CALL A TOW TRUCK. AS I WAS
SITTING WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, I TRIED TO TURN THE TRUCK ON BUT IT WOULD NOT
TURN OVER. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING REMEDIED AS IT SHOULD
BE BEFORE A PERSON LOSSES A LIFE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS CONTINUING
THROUGH THE MODELS. IT IS BEING OVER LOOKED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONSUMER. I AM
PAYING FOR A CAR THAT HAS A GREAT REPUTATION AS I WERE TO THINK. *NM PE04077_CAT
