3% of complaints about the 2012 Nissan Murano came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2012 vehicle — around the middle of the 201 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 6.9 yr in service. The most-reported system is power train (30 complaints), typically at 6.8 yr or about 75,000 miles.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 MURANO AND ROGUE VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 23, 2011 THROUGH JANUARY 11, 2012. DURING ASSEMBLY, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WAS NOT ACTIVATED. THUS, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 138,TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM.
A NON-ACTIVE TPMS CANNOT WARN A DRIVER THAT A TIRE IS UNDERINFLATED. UNDERINFLATED TIRES CAN RESULT IN TIRE OVERLOADING AND OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A BLOWOUT AND POSSIBLE CRASH.
I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND IT TOOK OVER 3 HOURS TO COMPLETE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE BUT THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME MORE EXCEPT THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE AIR BAGS AND THE COMPUTER. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS VIA PHONE AND LETTER. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS SAFETY RELATED AND THAT THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING DANGEROUS.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. INDICATOR LIGHT UNDER HEATING/AIR CONDITION PANEL INDICATED BAG OFF ON PASSENGER SIDE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN REQUESTED FROM DEALER REVEALED THAT "OCCUPANT SENSOR UNIT FAILED." "RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF PASSSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM AND SENSORS AT A COST OF $3,563.13." NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TWICE REJECTED MY REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR REPAIR, "BECAUSE IT WAS NOT LISTED IN THE CAMPAIGN" (RECALL LIST). MILEAGE WAS 69,772. UPDATED 03/16/17*LJ *CN
TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED 2 LETTERS FROM NHTSA RELATING TO MY VEHICLE HAVING AIR BAGS HAVING BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HAVING DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS.. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX MY VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED.
