2011 Nissan Murano Electrical System Problems

Convertible top not working properly. Sometimes gets stuck and have to drive it to a safe location. Nissan has a Voluntary service campaign For 2011 and 2012 Nissan Murano Cabriolet

OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 2 ACCIDENTS - ONE WHERE WE WERE STRUCK IN THE REAR LEFT BUMPER AND THE OTHER WE WERE STRUCK IN THE FRONT LEFT BUMPER. SPEEDS WERE ABOUT 20 MPH. NEITHER RESULTED IN THE AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INCLUDING FAILURE OF THE RADIO/CLIMATE CONTROL SCREEN, SPEAKER VOLUME CHANGING WITHOUT INITIATION AND UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED, & REAR SPEAKERS NOT FUNCTIONING. THESE OCCURRED AT ALL TIMES OF VEHICLE OPERATION.

VEHICLE'S CONVERTIBLE TOP STOPS WORKING (WHILE STATIONARY) IN MID OPERATION WHEN PRESSING BUTTON TO EITHER OPENING OR CLOSING TOP. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE TOP IS STUCK AND DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT IS BEEPING NOTIFYING TOP IS NOT SECURED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND TO PLACE OF PURCHASE (CARMAX). AND IS CURRENTLY AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP NOW AND HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 4/25/19. AS OF TODAY 6/5/19 THEY HAVE STATED THEIR FINAL ANALYSIS DETERMINES THE WIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP WIRE HARNESS NEEDS REPLACING BECAUSE AFTER MULTIPLE ANALYSIS THEY HAVE DETERMINED THE WIRE HARNESS CAN'T BE REPAIRED AND THAT THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS DECLINING THIS ELECTRICAL REPLACEMENT. THE TOP HAS RANDOMLY GOTTEN STUCK NUMEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE TIMES, WHETHER AT HOME, AT WORK, A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, AT THE GROCERY STORE, AT A STOP LIGHT, ETC., AND I CAN'T CONTINUE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS. SO I'M NOT ABLE TO SAFELY AND CONFIDENTLY USE IT. HELP ME PLEASE.

WHILE EXITING A PARKING SPACE AT A LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 10 MPH) THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED TO FULL THROTTLE. BRAKING WOULD NOT HOLD IT AND MY CAR RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AFTER TRAVELING 5-15 YARDS, PUSHING IT UP ON A SIDEWALK BEFORE STOPPING. BOTH CARS TOTAL LOSS DUE TO BENT FRAME/RAILS. MY FRONT END DEMOLISHED AND RADIATOR PUSHED INTO ENGINE BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AFTER THE INCIDENT IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD SNAPPED OFF.

MY DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO FAIL INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I TRY TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. ON 2/13/16 I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE LATE AT NIGHT, CRANKED IT, PUT IT IN DRIVE, AND BEGAN TO PULL OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT CRANK(LEAVING ME STRANDED, AT NIGHT, IN FREEZING WRATHER). THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. IT WOULD ONLY CLICK....THEN EVENTUALLY DO NOTHING. LATER THAT EVENING WE ATTEMPTED AGAIN. IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL WE HIT THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE.(BATTERY PREVIOUSLY REPLACED). THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT WITH NISSANS AS SEEN ON MANY COMPLAINT FORUMS. ALL 4 ACTUATORS FAILING ARE RIDICULOUS. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC (NOT ASSOCIATED WITH NISSAN BUT HAS HAD TO WORK MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES) THAT IT IS A SECURITY SYSTEM ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY THINKS YOU ARE STEALING IT SO IT SHUTS DOWN. HOPEFULLY, IT WON'T THINK THAT WHILE I AM TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THE NEXT DAY, IT WOULDN'T START. *TR

ALL 4 OF MY DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE GONE OUT AT THE SAME TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW LEAKED. THE LEAK IN THE WINDOW RAN DOWN INTO THE TRUNK AND RUINED SEVERAL COMPONENTS. THE TRUNK OPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF OPENED AND CLOSED ON ITS OWN. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. UPDATED 8/6/15*CN

I HAVE NOTICED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THIS SUMMER, A CRACKLING SOUND IN LOWER PORTION OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I ACTUALLY REMEMBER HEARING IT LAST SUMMER BUT IT IS NOW MORE AUDIBLE. THE WARM WEATHER MUST BE A FACTOR. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY KEYLESS FOB, IT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK AND MY IGNITION AN REAR LIFT GATE SOMETIMES WILL OPERATE EVEN WHEN THE FOB IS WITHIN 3 FEET. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN AUG. 2011. NO ACCIDENTS. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS
