2010 Nissan Murano Problems and Recalls (188 Complaints)

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.

Completely lost function of the power steering No matter what I try to do, it seems that I have to continuously be pouring power steering fluid into it

My father is a mechanic when I bought this car the first thing we noticed is it had a problem with actually driving so we tried fixing a couple things to get it to drive no matter what we do the car lags I cannot step on the pedal hard enough in some cases I have almost been hit I have two kids this car is absolutely a danger on the road. As I was driving my children to school the wheel became very hard to steer which I ended up in a ditch after 10 minutes I was able to start the car up again and drive out of the ditch. As I make tight turns the lights inside the car turn on the seatbelts in the back do not work my kids sit back there it’s a problem they both still have to be in car seats

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.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the contact noticed an electrical burning odor and there was white smoke coming out of the hood. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart and was jumpstarted with the assistance of the contact's brother. The vehicle was taken to AutoZone, where the battery was replaced. The contact stated upon driving from a complete stop, the vehicle went into Safety Mode and failed to exceed 2 MPH. The ABS and battery warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to pull into a parking lot and turn off the vehicle. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence of the contact's mother. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced complete battery drainage within 18 hours of replacing the battery. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in an unknown alternator recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.
