Nissan Murano Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | Apr 16, 2009
Reported on Apr 16, 2009
| VEHICLE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS COME ON, VEHICLE HAS VARYING PAUSES BETWEEN PRESSING GAS AND VEHICLE REACTION, VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING (WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE DRIVING AND 18 MONTH OLD SON IN VEHICLE), AND RESTART HAS LONG CRANK DURATION. ON APRIL 17TH, VEHICLE TURNED OFF AT STOP LIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND RESTARTED AFTER LONG CRANK PERIOD. I PULLED OFF TO PARKING LOT AND CAR TURNED OFF AND FAILED TO RECRANK. THIS CREATES A VERY VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION IN THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING! DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE CAM SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE READ THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES THROUGH RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR FOR THIS VEHICLE (YEAR, MAKE, MODEL) FOR THESE EXACT PROBLEMS, BUT WHEN INQUIRING TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS, MY VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL, DESPITE BEING THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR! *TR | |
