2007 Nissan Murano Fuel System Problems

FROM TIME TO TIME THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS. ENGINE DOES NOT DIE BUT POWER TO TRANSMISSION IS LOST. VEHICLE WILL NOT REV UNLESS IT IS PUT INTO PARK OR NEUTERAL. WHEN TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PRODUCES NO RPMS. VEHICLE COSTS TO SIDE OF ROAD AND PROBLEM IS SOMETIMES REMIDIED WITH SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING OTHER TIMES I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL - THE ABS CONTINUES TO STAY ON. TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT SOON.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL RECENT TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES AND YOU LOSE ALL POWER, VERY UNSAFE AS POWER STEERING IS LOST. I HAVE READ THIS ONLINE WHERE OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE SO THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED THE BATTERY, CABLES, REPLACED SENSORS, AND FUEL PUMP SO THIS HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE. MY CAR IS A 2007 MURANO SL WITH 150,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START UNTIL IT WAS REFILLED WITH FUEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

HAD NOTICED THAT THE GAS GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD JUST PUT GAS IN THE VECHICLE 2 DAYS BEFORE. I LOOKED FOR A LEAK AND THERE WAS NOTHING NOTICABLE. I FILLED THE TANK, RETURNED TO THE CAR TO CHECK THE GAUGE AND NOTICED THAT IT READ 3/4. I STARTED DRIVING AND AS I WAS DRIVING IT FLUCTUATED BETWEEM FULL AND 3/4. I TALKED TO MY WIFE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND SHE HAD NOTICED THAT THE GAS GAUGE HAD BEEN READING INACCURATELY THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE MISFIRING. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP. TOLD THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. GAS GAUGE WILL SHOW FUEL IS EMPTY BUT ITS NOT. GAUGE WILL GO UP AND DOWN. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE/SENSOR IS NOT READING PROPERLY. IT WILL SHOW THE TANK AS EMPTY EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY, HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE THREE OTHER MODELS OF CAR THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FROM THE SAME YEAR DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ALSO ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY IT ON MY VEHICLE. THIS CONCERNS ME AS IN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE EXCEPT THAT THE VEHICLE CAN STALL WHILE IN MOTION CREATING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY SO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME THAT NISSAN HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ITS FUEL SENSORS FOR YEARS AND YEARS ON MANY OF ITS MODELS AND HAS IGNORED IT. NOW I'M REQUIRED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS ON A FAULTY PART TO THE TUNE OF $655 BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T PASS INSPECTION OTHERWISE. NISSAN HAS PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN (NTB07-069A) FOR CODE P0463 BUT WON'T HELP AT ALL WITH THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER REPAIRS EITHER. FAULKNER NISSAN, HARRISBURG, PA SOUNDED LIKE I WAS THE 100TH PERSON CALLING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I AM SINGLE MOTHER, WORKING FULL TIME, SAVING TO SEND A DAUGHTER TO COLLEGE. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY NISSAN MURANO KNOWING IT IS VITAL TO MY ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY. I WILL NOW NEED TO BREAK THE LAW TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO WORK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $655 FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS DOWNRIGHT WRONG. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY ITS PRODUCT AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER ACCURATE LEVEL OF FUEL IN TANK. SAFETY CONCERN AS NOT ABLE TO ACCURATELY KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN TANK.

2007 NISSAN MURANO. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH FUEL METER RESULTING IN FAULTY READING OF THE FUEL LEVEL. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL METER DID NOT SHOW THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONSUMER STARTED EXPERIENCING STATIC IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM FOUR ADDITIONAL TIMES. EACH TIME THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL METER AND OTHER RELATED PARTS. *JB

I WAS ON HWY 10 TRAVELING FROM HOUSTON TO NM, HEADED WEST JUST PAST EXIST 138 IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAS JUST FINISHED FUELING UP MY VEHICLE AND WAS BACK ON THE HWY. I RAN OVER SMALL OBJECT IN THE ROAD THAT CAUSED A PUNCTURE IN THE BACK OF THE FUEL TANK. I WAS SIGNALED BY PASSING CALL TO PULLOVER IMMEDIATELY AS THERE WAS FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF THE VEHICLE , MAKING IT AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD & UNDRIVEABLE. I WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND MY BOYFRIEND DURING THIS INCIDENT WHO ALSO RAN OVER THIS SAME OBJECT AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO HIS VEHICLE (BMW). I CALLED NISSAN THE NEXT DAY ( I HAVE REFERENCE # ) & I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR 2007 REGARDING FUEL TANK PUNCTURE PROBLEMS .HE SAID THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND NOT MY MODEL YEAR. THE FUEL TANK DOES APPEAR HOWEVER TO BE EXPOSED AND APPEARS TO BE PRONE TO THIS PROBLEM . THERE ARE APPROX 17500 MILES ON THIS 2007 MURANO. THE FUEL TANK WAS PATCHED THE NEXT DAY, AND THE SUV DRIVEN TO IT'S DESTINATION WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND PARKED UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. A NEW FUEL TANK WILL BE USED TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED ONE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY INSURANCE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN . THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN ON THE HWY AS IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN LOCALLY ON CITY STREETS PRIOR. THE SAME OBJECT DID NOT CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MY BOYFRIENDS VEHICLE NOR FOR THE OTHER CARS WHO RAN OVER IT AS WELL. *TR
