What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I attempted to make a right to turn into the parking space at the restaurant and the truck jerked forward. I pressed the brake pad and quickly noticed that the truck did not stop. I said out loud, its not stopping! The passenger in my truck then leaned over and noticed that my foot was in fact on the break pad. I made the statement again, its not stopping! The truck rolled over the concrete parking block and proceeded into the building. I was pumping the break peddle to the floor at this point.
The push button start didn't shut off the engine when it was put in the garage resulting in the carbon monoxide poisoning of my mother.
On oct 31,2017 I attempted to stop my murano on mercury blvd and it would not stop. I hit the brakes again and it would not slow down or stop, then tried attempted again and it would not slow down or stop. It resulted into me hitting another car and my truck is a total lost at this point. My insurance company will total it out. I see there are two other complaints on this very same thing. This really need to be looked into.
My nissan murano's CVT transmission suddenly failed while driving in the passing lane on interstate highway 84. This placed me and my physically disabled wife in an extremely dangerous situation.
