2011 Nissan Murano problems
The Nissan Murano (Japanese: 日産・ムラーノ, Hepburn: Nissan Murāno) is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Nissan since May 2002 for the 2003 model year, and currently in its third generation.
As Nissan's first crossover SUV for the United States and Canada, the Murano was designed at Nissan America in La Jolla, California, and was based on the Nissan FF-L platform shared with the third generation Altima. The European version of the Murano began sales in 2004.
The Murano was Nissan's only crossover SUV in the United States until September 2007, when the Rogue went on sale. In Canada, the X-Trail had been on sale as Nissan's second car based SUV since 2004 as a model for 2005; it was replaced by the 2008 Rogue at the end of 2007. The Murano is sized between the Pathfinder and the now defunct Xterra (which was replaced by the Rogue as a compact SUV). A convertible variant, the Murano CrossCabriolet, was available for the second-generation model for the model years of 2011 to 2014.
The nameplate Murano derives from the Italian islands of Murano and the namesake Murano art glass for which the islands are widely known.

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-12
- VIN: JN8AZ1FY2BW
- Components: STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Hi i see this vehicle had a recall campaign previously under notice P1261/NTB12-003/NTB14-076. This campaign includes the replacement of the links and other items under this campaign. This vehicle is a convertible and the top frame is once again damaged due to the same recall for links. I recently took the vehicle to Lorenzo Nissan as the top is not working. They advised the frame links are bound, and the frame needs to be replaced. As this was covered under previous recall, the recall is obviously not adequate.

SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-04
- VIN: JN8AZ1MW2BW
- Components: SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE
- Summary: Premature Subframe Corrosion: first noticed a knocking noise coming from under rear driver side area when going over bumps with our 2011 Murano. Then the knocking noise (metal on metal sound) got worse and then the back of our vehicle would sway uncontrollably side to side when pressing a little hard on the brakes. Brought the vehicle to the Nissan dealer and was told that the subframe had excessive corrosion and the vehicle is dangerous to drive. Our vehicle has only 106,800 miles and has been garage kept and serviced every year by the Nissan dealership. Discovered online that 100’s, probably 1000’s including unreported incidents of other Nissan owners having the same excessive subframe rusting problem. People have reported their wheels falling off and losing control of vehicle...easily can cause major accident with deaths. There was a recall in 2006 for the same subframe issue but for unknown reasons doesn’t include my vehicle. Nissan has not corrected the cause of the subframe defect and has allowed this dangerous situation to continue with their vehicles even after the recall ended. The parts & labor cost to replace the subframe is between $3,000-$4,000+ and Nissan Consumer Affairs says since there are no current recalls and the vehicle is out of warranty that they will do nothing for me. This subframe rusting started day 1 when we purchased the vehicle and prematurely got worse each year through the warranty period until it becomes a dangerous situation after the warranty period ends. The prior recall should be extended to cover more vehicles and Nissan should take responsibility for not correcting the premature subframe rusting issues. Nissan should cover the costs to repair the faulty subframe or at the least, Nissan should supply the parts to correct the issue and the owner be responsible for the labor.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-13
- VIN: JN8AZ1MW7BW
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: 35 complaints on the CVT transmission failing for the 2011 Nissan Murano, which could be a major safety issue while driving. We experienced 3 episodes and have not heard back from Nissan nor the NHTSA on recalling this car and having Nissan repair their known defect that could result in injury. We know the CVT transmission is known by Nissan to have reliability issues as they have recalled other years of CVT transmissions. Does someone have to be hurt before a fix is communicated to the owners of this vehicle. What a shame!

SUSPENSION,WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-05
- VIN: JN8AZ1MW6BW
- Components: SUSPENSION,WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: 2011 Nissan Murano, While pulling into a parking area the left rear (drivers side) wheel collapsed. Fortunately this happened at a very low speed, (under 10 MPH). Upon inspection it was discovered that the lower control strut had rotted out and separated from the frame causing the wheel to collapse. If this had occurred on a main road at speed it could have caused a very serious accident due to loss of control. In this case it did not happen, as stated it was at low speed and in a parking lot. The deterioration of this strut was never called out by dealer inspite of numerous Multi-point safety inspections during normal periodic vehicle servicing. There was no warning of impending failure, it just occurred! Neither Nissan or the dealer claim any responsibility for the failure of this part(s) Both sides were replaced as both sides had rotted out.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-06-04
- VIN: JN8AZ1MW7BW
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: While driving car several times on the highway, when accelerating all power went out from the CVT transmission (like running out of gas), rendering the car without power on the highway. This was and continues to be a big concern as we were left on a high speed road with no power to move the car. This has occurred several times and we have been fortunate to be in the right hand lane to get off the main road and not cause an accident. This condition is known by Nissan and other repair facilities as the Infiniti dealer in Orlando, Fla conducted a diagnostic test and noted the car needed a transmission replacement at approximately 88,000 miles. This replacement was for $12,220 dollars, which was far more than the car was worth and with a car that should have many more miles left to operate and maintained very well. As this is a major safety issue, one of several with this car, we are submitting another incident report indicating our concern with this car, which there are many (rear subframe rusting, rear passenger door locks). The car got towed approximately 200 miles to our local mechanic who knew of these issues, but after a few days of test driving could not duplicate the issue on local roads. We still operate the car on local roads below highway speeds, but are concerned that at any point power will be lost. Even selling the car is an ethical dilemma for us as we know of several safety issues submitted to the NHTSA and Nissan has not issued any recalls or corrections to this year vehicle. Someone from the NHTSA should take action with Nissan to recall this vehicle for safety issues! As with other incidents, we have all the documentation from these events.

- VIN: JN8AZ1FY2BW
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: My dashboard is melting. When sitting in the sun it becomes sticky. An offensive odor is emitted also. The dashboard becomes shiny, making it at times hard to see from the reflection from the shine hitting the windshield when driving. Nissan is aware of this problem as they fixed melting dashboards in Florida only.

SUSPENSION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-25
- VIN: JN8AZ1MW7BW
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: This is a follow up to my first submission to include the pictures of the defective subframe we had to replace and the cost for the replacement for a new OEM subframe on this 2011 Nissan Murano SUV. As indicated in my first submission on 1/25/2023 for this car, two repair facilities (Nissan or Fort Lauderdale, Fla and Autobahn of Fort Lauderdale, Fla) inspected and wrote quotes to replace the defective rear subframe. Several mechanics we personally talked to told us this will be a safety problem if the rear subframe was not replaced soon - "just don't drive on the highway until replaced". After the Nissan and our local repair shop indicated this, we got the repair on 3/13/2023 at our local garage. My safety concern is that this is a low mileage car for its age (< 87K) that was garaged and bought new by us. It was maintained very well and all repair mechanics noted this as well. We also heard that rear subframe issues are increasingly become more common with Nissan vehicles with cars produced in years similar to ours. Subframes, which are major suspension and safety components, should not be this deteriorated at this point in their car's life. I have included pictures of the old subframe replaced on 3/13/2023 as well as the cost for the repair of our vehicle. Please look in detail at these digital pics and one can see the erosion of the metal is significant and we are very fortunate to not have had an accident. I don't believe the old subframe is still around for inspection as we did not know the NHTSA needed them until now, but I am sure one could interview this repair shop and get plenty of information on these car's subframes from this era of car manufacture. Plus the pictures are very telling of the problems associated with these cars. The only warning we had when driving was a thumping noise in the left rear section of the car. I did write to Nissan North America (Case # 48133943), but like with the NHTSA no response to date from either group.

SUSPENSION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-20
- VIN: JN8AZ1MW7BW
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: We experienced a noise in the rear suspension area of the vehicle while driving, which prompted us to take the car to a Nissan repair facility for an inspection. We were informed the rear subframe components were rusted and needed replacing. We bought this car new in 2011 and it has under 85,000 miles. The car was garaged for most of its life and now needs several thousand dollars of rear subframe suspension parts and labor to make it safe to drive. Just a year year earlier we had to replace the front lower control arms also at the cost of several thousand dollars. These suspension component parts should not fail this early in the life of this Nissan Murano SUV, especially a car that has less than 85,000 miles, that was properly maintained and in excellent condition. As this is a safety issue we are wondering why Nissan or the Federal government has not recalled or at least agreed to repair this issue for owners of this vehicle. There have been many Technical Service Bulletins issued on this defect for many years (since 2007 onward), but no response. I guess for the government and Nissan to acknowledge a safety issue with this car in todays marketplace, it appears a crash, fire, injury or death must occur for someone to take action.

- VIN: JN8AZ1MW1BW
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: The subframe has completely rusted and broke apart. This is a known issue on the Nissan's. We heard a rattling and upon inspection found a piece of the frame had rusted off. The entire rear subframe is rusted through. The vehicle cannot be driven. Nissan should pay for this repair.

POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-10-13
- VIN: JN8AZ1MU8BW
- Components: POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 2011 Nissan Murano, transmission issues. This is the second time I have had to report this problem, please also refer to my first complaint #11474221 on this vehicle for the same problem. When at a stop, and pushing the gas pedal to move forward, there is a hesitation or two before the vehicle moves forward. This is a big problem when trying to enter a highway, after a stop sign. With giving enough distance to merge, having the hesitation issue has almost caused an accident. This hesitation occurs in town driving and hi-way. The dealership Crown Nissan (Greensboro, NC) diagnosis indicated that the transmission was failing and needed to be replaced. Our local Nissan shop ordered a new transmission directly from Nissan, and installed into our car, by mechanics that were trained by Nissan. Received Murano back with replaced new transmission, and within two days it was hesitating again. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and it was confirmed that the ‘new’ transmission that was installed, was defective and when driving, also had the hesitation issue. A 2nd new transmission was ordered from Nissan, installed by Nissan trained mechanics, and delivered two weeks later. We received our Murano back on Oct.12, 2022 and when driving it there was a slight hesitation, but then started to buck very hard… I’m surprised that I don’t have whiplash. The 2nd new transmission installed is a ‘lemon’ as it is worse than the original AND the 1st new replacement, by bucking as well as the hesitation. Our Nissan Murano appears to be unfixable, as the company keeps sending transmissions that have serious flaws and will eventually hurt or kill someone. Where do we go from here, especially since we have paid off the loan a year ago.

- Summary: The car was taken for inspection in Pennsylvania and the rear subframe has mostly rotted away where it connects to the frame. Had the subframe broken through it could have caused serious injury. It was confirmed by an independent inspection station. There are recalls on other murano model years so it is possible this year is also a problem that has not been exposed yet. The problem is evident on both sides of the vehicle.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-08-14
- VIN: JN8AZ1MU3BW
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Airbag light comes on indicating a problem. After a quick investigation of this problem it becomes evident that it’s very common and Nissan hasn’t admitted any problem . The cost to fix this is half the value of the car!!

- Summary: The contact's husband owns a 2011 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving up an incline at approximately 35 degrees and making a sharp left turn, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact then stated that he attempted to apply more pressure but the vehicle failed to accelerate and moved at a slow pace. The contact then stated that after he was in the driveway, he placed the shifter in park and then back in drive position but the vehicle hesitated then failed to accelerate. No warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer nor the manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-11-01
- VIN: JN8AZ1MU8BW
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Our 2011 Nissan Murano is garaged & serviced (not at dealer as their rates for labor & parts is crazy high) & has been a great SUV, until it had problems monthswith the acceleration in certain situations. This would happen when stopping at a red light or stop sign in town. We’d push on the acceleration~gas & the Murano wouldn’t respond…would do a slow count of 4 to 5, & the Murano would then accelerate slowly until reaching the posted speed limit. This act is dangerous as if merging or passing with a loss of acceleration in a crowded road would be a perfect storm of multiple accidents & injuries. On the highway, we would be driving & pressing the gas pedal like normal when all of a sudden the car wouldn’t respond & seemed like it was coasting or put in neutral, it would come back after a slow count of 4 to 5 seconds, & would slowly get to the speed limit. This has happened several times on the highway with speed limit listed @70mph. Imaging that you are driving along with traffic at 70mph when all of sudden the SUV stopped accelerating, & there is a big truck right behind you, & it’s continuing at the speed limit. Because of the acceleration issue, we were almost rear ended by a semi & could have killed us both. On the highway this has only happened a few times, compared to starting from a stop sign or red light which happens frequently each week. There is no warning or lights that this is going to happen, which makes it worse. The mechanic and shop that I have been using for over 35 years, has had several Murano’s with the same problem, & suggested the transmission might be failing, they also said to research this issue & ask Nissan. With living in a small town, the % of Murano’s having the same problem should trigger a paid recall, no matter the mileage or age if serviced regularly. This has been happening for months, & also with other years of the Murano design. Please read all of the owner’s comments about this issue, of not accelerating when needed.

POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-02-25
- VIN: JN8AZ1MU8BW
- Components: POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: For over a year, I have experienced hesitations of movement when needed to have acceleration from a complete or rolling stop. When driving, I’ve pushed on the gas pedal to accelerate & there was a long two second hesitation (lack of propulsion) before the Murano resumed forward movement. There was also a loss of acceleration (speed/movement) while merging into very heavy traffic on a busy main road, & that could have caused an accident. Every time there was a hesitation of movement when pushing on the gas pedal, it could have been a disaster. I have been having this ‘hesitations of movement’ for over a year. I have insisted that mechanics need to drive it, so they too can experience this problem. They have driven the Murano many times, but haven’t been able to experienced it. After bringing the Murano into my service station for months about this problem, today after an oil change at Oakview Auto Service, the head mechanic took my Nissan Murano for a test drive & the ‘hesitation’ happened to him. So if needed Chris at Oakview Auto can confirm that this problem has been happening, that we have asked about diagnosing this problem, & he experienced as well. This Service Station has been in business for over 40 years, and they have had many other customers bring their Nissan Murano to them, with the complaint of ‘hesitation of movement. While there has been problems documented (& recalled) with Nissan’s transmissions in the past, they have yet to include the 2011 Murano. Nissan needs to address this hesitation issue now.

I was hit on the driver's side by a drunk driver, but thankfully, due to God, my seat belt, and the car's design, I only received minor injuries. Unfortunately, my Murano was declared a total loss. Keep up the good work!
-
I have owned my Murano for five years now. Currently, it has 150k miles and has never given me any problems. It's good on gas and very comfortable. I highly recommend the Murano.
-
I purchased my Murano two months ago and overall, it drives well. However, I have noticed that there is a significant amount of wind noise when driving on the highway, which can be quite bothersome. When I brought this to the attention of my dealership, I was informed that this is a common issue with Muranos that have a sunroof and that Nissan does not consider it a defect. While I was disappointed with this response, I appreciate the effort made by the Nissan USA representative to address my concerns. Although I am still dissatisfied with my experience, I hope that Nissan will take steps to improve the quality of their vehicles. As a result of my experience, I have decided not to purchase another Nissan and will share my experience with my friends and family.

Hi there! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed driving your car every day. It sounds like you had a great experience with it!
-
I really like this car! The styling is great, and the ride is so quiet. The CVT operates smoothly, and it's easy to move quickly in traffic. The seats are also very comfortable, which is a huge plus. For my needs, the cargo space is just right, and I love the automatic lowering and raising of the rear seats. The Bluetooth is wonderful, and the Bose radio system is fantastic. Although I'm not sold on the XM radio option, it's still a great feature. I personally prefer the 18

Hello! Thank you for considering this car. Before making a purchase, we recommend taking it for a test drive to ensure it's the right fit for you. While this car has many great features, we understand that comfort is a top priority. One previous owner found the power seats uncomfortable, despite trying different positions. They ultimately traded it in for a different model. We encourage you to try it out for yourself and see if it meets your needs. Thank you for your interest!

I hope you're doing well! I noticed that you recently purchased a Murano 2010 S model. It's great to hear that you're enjoying your car and feeling good while driving it. I've always been a fan of Nissan myself.

Although the seats are uncomfortable and lack adjustments, the vehicle has some great features such as the rear seats that recline, providing a very nice experience for rear passengers. The ride is also very smooth and car-like. Overall, it's a nice vehicle, but the seats could be improved. It's worth noting that I had some confusion with the AWD feature, as it stayed engaged even at 40/45 mph, contrary to what the manual says. However, I may not have fully understood the feature. Additionally, the rear cargo area could be improved as it is covered by a cheap piece of carpeted plywood over the spare tire.

I recently traded in my Nissan for a Toyota Highlander. Although I had some issues with my Nissan, I am happy to have moved on. Unfortunately, I experienced some major problems with my Nissan, including transmission failure and a wiring issue behind the front bumper. Despite always servicing my car at the dealership, I still encountered these issues. Additionally, I had to replace my tires multiple times and had problems with my battery dying for no apparent reason. I spoke to other Murano owners and found out that they had similar issues. I value dependability above everything else, and unfortunately, my Nissan did not meet my needs. I hope that Nissan can resolve these issues for their customers. 2) At 85,000 miles, unfortunately, the A/C compressor failed and required a $1100 repair. 3) Additionally, I've had to replace my tires three times, even though I purchased good quality ones. On top of that, the AC compressor failed just over 100,000 miles, resulting in another costly repair.

P1778 - Step Motor Function is a known Transmission issue from Nissan. Despite this, Nissan did not issue any recalls up to 2011. As a result, I regret purchasing a Nissan and will not be doing so again. I reached out to Mcgrath Lexus in Westmont, but unfortunately, they did not follow up with me as promised. This experience has taught me that buying from a well-known dealer does not necessarily guarantee a hassle-free experience. However, I remain confident in my ability to make informed decisions when it comes to purchasing a vehicle.
