Latest Murano complaints
Vehicle: 2026 Nissan Murano Platinum (leased). Dealership: Parkway Nissan, Dover, Ohio.I am reporting two safety defects. Transmission - Dangerous surge on downshifts. The 9-speed automatic spikes RPM and vehicle speed during downshifts, causing the vehicle to surge forward unexpectedly while decelerating. This lurch is hard to control and creates an unsafe condition in traffic, at intersections, and when maintaining following distance. Immediate braking has been required to avoid closing the gap with vehicles...

ahead. Infotainment - Blackouts and Apple CarPlay failure. The center display intermittently blacks out completely while driving, disconnecting Apple CarPlay and eliminating navigation, camera display, and phone connectivity. This forces the driver to divert attention and removes critical information. Repair history: Both issues were reported to Parkway Nissan in Dover, Ohio. The dealership has been excellent to work with. They replaced the dashboard/infotainment unit to address the blackouts and CarPlay failures. I have not received the vehicle back since that replacement. While the car remains at the dealership, they also opened a formal case with Nissan on the transmission surge. The defects remain unresolved and the vehicle has been out of service for an extended period.I request NHTSA investigate these safety defects for possible recall or further action. I also request that Nissan repurchase the vehicle under lemon law provisions, as the defects substantially impair its use, value, and safety despite repair attempts and prolonged downtime.
The front passenger seat belt does not always buckle. You may have to try to rebuckle yourself several times before it will latch or click. The rear drivers seatbelt is doing the same thing but will not buckle at all anymore.
the Nissan Murano Rear Crossmember was rusted through and broke barely 1 and half years after buying it .and many people have that complaint. It is a serious issue and should be addressed
While driving the vehicle the engine completely shut down and an "engine failure" light came on, and the vehicle became completely stationary. Electrical seemed to be running. I had to put the vehicle in park, turn it off and turn it back on to move it off the road. A couple weeks prior, the vehicle was making strange revving noises that I am unsure if they are related. I was in the middle of the road, and thankfully, cars behind me were stopped at a red light. I often drive on the highway and this could be deadly...

if it happens while driving 70 mph. The dealer was unable to reproduce the issue and told me the car is fine. The looked for codes, and only found communications errors. They checked the battery which also showed no signs of errors. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle.
I am submitting a safety complaint regarding recurring electronic and infotainment system malfunctions in my brand-new 2026 Nissan Murano. Since acquiring the vehicle, I have experienced repeated electronic issues, including unexpected audio interruptions and navigation system malfunctions. The navigation map moves erratically across the screen, repeatedly searches for my location, and fails to accurately display my position. On October 31, 2026, while my phone was connected to the vehicle, the navigation system...

malfunctioned again. The map moved rapidly up and down and could not accurately determine my location. I recorded video evidence of this incident. I previously contacted NissanConnect customer support and was instructed to reboot the system. Despite following these instructions, the problems continue. The vehicle has not yet been inspected or diagnosed by an authorized Nissan dealership. The underlying cause remains unknown, and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. These repeated electronic malfunctions in a brand-new vehicle are extremely concerning and frustrating. I purchased a new vehicle expecting reliability, safety, and properly functioning technology. I am concerned that these recurring issues may indicate an underlying electrical or software defect that could potentially affect other vehicle systems. Although I have not experienced engine shutdown or loss of propulsion, I am concerned about the overall reliability and safety of the vehicle. The navigation malfunction also presents a potential safety risk, particularly when driving on unfamiliar roads or relying on GPS directions. I respectfully request that NHTSA document and investigate these recurring electronic malfunctions to determine whether they indicate a potential safety-related defect. I have retained video evidence of the October 31, 2026, incident and can provide it upon request.
