This is the second set of sunvisors on my Murano definite safety hazard when hitting a slight bump in the road, they fall down blocking your vision all of a sudden. While driving, I have to push it back up and most of the time it falls right back down. This is something that Nissan should be held accountable for as $200 a set is very expensive when they keep breaking. If I get hurt because of them in a car accident, I will be suing Nissan.

brakes/ ABS brake system: Still in use currently. Not reproducible, very erratic; once every few days of operation. No outside inspections to date. No warning lights of messsages/ error codes before or after the brake failure. Event: Brake will fail on rare occasions randomly. No particular event precedes the failure: (corner; speed; trip duration; road vibration; etc). When brake is pressed, pedal drops to near the floor before giving some back pressure. No noticeable speed reduction here. If brakes are pumped they will begin to delevope pressure with some reduction in velocity. After several more pumps the brake activation returns and car can be stopped. No accident from this problem yet. Brake reservoir is full and has been full during these problems. This seems very similar to the 2009 murano recall for ABS system failure. NHTSA Campaign Number 18V916. Murano did a prior recall repair around 2020ish, and changed to DOT4 I think. That is the indicated fluid for this system. Very dangerous, and completely unexpected failure; luckily the emergency brake still works.

I am reporting an ABS/braking safety issue with my 2010 Nissan Murano. My vehicle was included in Nissan campaign P0A08/NTB21-047 involving brake fluid and the ABS actuator. Before the campaign, I had experienced an intermittent braking problem during a loss-of-traction/ABS event. When Nissan performed P0A08 on 8/8/2023 at 191,017 miles, I specifically reported the problem. The Nissan repair order states: “CUSTOMER STATES IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR.” The ABS actuator passed Nissan’s campaign inspection, but because of my complaint, the service manager contacted Nissan/WCC regarding actuator replacement. The repair order states: “SERVICE MANAGER CALLED WCC TO VERIFY COVERAGE OF ABS ACTUATOR AFTER IT PASSED INSPECTION FOR RECALL.” Nissan case J0003385169 was opened. The intermittent condition could not be duplicated during a test drive, so the actuator was not replaced. On 8/20/2026, ABS, BRAKE, SLIP and VDC OFF warning lights began illuminating while driving. Nissan diagnosed ABS code C1140 – ACTUATOR RLY. After further testing, the Nissan repair order states: “CIRCUIT GOOD… INTERNAL CONCERN WITH ABS ACTUATOR.” Nissan now recommends replacing the ABS actuator. My safety concern is that this is the same actuator that passed the P0A08 inspection and remained in service despite my documented brake-pedal-to-floor complaint. I ask NHTSA to review whether the P0A08 inspection/remedy adequately identifies intermittent ABS actuator failures and whether similar vehicles may remain at risk.

The radio volume knob has an electrical defect. If you touch or use the volume knob the volume will automatically increase unexpectedly. This is a problem when driving. It will turn up so loud and unexpectedly that I have all most crashed my car. At this point the stereo is inoperable. Also was told the steering column has a crack. I bought this car brand new. That feels like a defective part and not something that the owner should have to replace, but should be the responsibility of the car maker.

Vehicle will not accelerate. I will drive it a few miles, and it will be just fine. I drive it more, and it will stall and not accelerate. In fact, on 6/30/25, I was getting on the highway and it wouldn't accelerate and 8 warning lights came on. It has a brand new battery, alternator, idle sensor, and throttle position sensor. My dad and grandpa both know a lot about cars, and they are at a loss.
