NISSAN MURANO 2016 AND ON OUR PREVIOUSLY OWNED 2014 PATHFINDER, WHEN STATIONARY, THE POWERED BACK LIFTGATE CAN REVERT DIRECTION WHEN IT'S AUTOMATICALLY OPENING TO AUTOMATICALLY CLOSING WHEN THERE'S ACCUMULATED SNOW OR HEAVY SNOWFALL, WHEN THERE'S WEIGHT. THE FORCE FOR IT'S POWERED CLOSING IS ENOUGH TO PINCH SOMEONE BETWEEN CAR OR TO HIT THEIR HEAD. NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS BY DESIGN AND "NO REPAIR OPTION" BOTH AT DEALER AND WITH MY CALL WITH ANDREA FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT. HOWEVER, IT IS A DANGER. IN OUR CASE, THE FORCE OF IT COMING DOWN AND MY WIFE STANDING UP AFTER PUTTING IN GROCERY, NOT REALIZING THE GATE IS COMING DOWN ON HER, RESULTED IN HER HITTING HER HEAD ON THE LIFT GATE COMING DOWN AND CAUSED INJURY TO HER HEAD AND HER HEAD TO SWELL. THERE ARE ALSO OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR SITUATION ONLINE PER BELOW. IT IS A ACTUAL DANGER AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN. IT SHOULD NOT COME DOWN BUT INSTEAD SHOULD JUST STOP. IT CAN BE EASILY REPRODUCED AND WE HAVE VIDEO TO SHOW HOW IT CAN BE REPRODUCED WHEN THERE'S WEIGHT ON THE LIFTGATE SUCH AS ENOUGH SNOW ACCUMULATION ON IT.

I am reporting a serious intermittent safety issue with my 2016 Nissan Murano, which I recently purchased from a private seller. On multiple occasions, the vehicle suddenly stops accelerating after driving for approximately 20–30 minutes, including multiple local stops. When this occurs, the engine continues to run, but the car becomes completely unresponsive to throttle input and cannot be moved, even when placed into gear. This has happened in live traffic situations, posing a clear risk to safety. In each instance, after the car sits for a period of time or is connected to an external battery charger, it eventually restarts and operates normally—until the issue repeats. There are no warning lights or messages on the dashboard, and no diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the system. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Nissan dealership, where it remained for over a month. They reported being unable to reproduce the issue and could not identify any mechanical or electrical faults. The alternator tested fine, and they returned the vehicle to me with no repairs or resolution. Since that time, the issue has occurred again. I believe this may involve: A low-voltage electrical problem, possibly a blown fusible link or intermittent charging system failure A bad ground or wiring fault affecting the ECM, TCM, or fuel pump A voltage-sensitive sensor or relay malfunction that fails under heat or load but does not log a fault A condition causing the CVT transmission to disengage due to insufficient power This issue has rendered the vehicle dangerous and unreliable, especially since it fails with no warning and then unpredictably recovers. I am filing this complaint in hopes that NHTSA will investigate this failure pattern, which appears to be consistent with known Nissan electrical and CVT system complaints in other model years. If this is a known defect, Nissan should be held accountable for providing a resolution, even outside of warranty.

The failure persisted. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle with alternator failure, and the alternator was replaced. The contact received a notice about an extended warranty coverage for the Control Variable Timing (CVT) valve. The manufacturer was informed of the failure, and a case was opened.

I have been experiencing complete driving failure with my 2016 Nissan Murano. It shutdowns randomly without any warning well driving in traffic. I have already experienced being put in a crash risk three times. I have been trying to work with the dealer for almost 2 months now, only to receive my SUV with the same issue. I am terrified to be forced to put my children in such a high risk automobile as this is supposed to be our reliable transportation. I am highly disappointed and uncomfortable with the dealership stating repeatedly they don’t know what’s wrong with my vehicle as they are no codes to factually state the real issue. In the process I am being told I need to pay for highly priced repair guesses or problems that have been generated in their care trying to figure things out. The vehicle has even stopped on them while driving. After driving off their lot twice only to be stranded and put in a crash risk I am not comfortable with being rushed to pick up this vehicle without total safety concerns being addressed. Nissan has not addressed my concerns about their vehicles having recalls about this same issues, only stating it doesn’t show up for my vin# Well why am I having the same exact problem? The safety risks of the vehicle failing in the mist of traffic with absolutely no warning is a huge life threatening risk and shouldn’t be of the hardship of my family as I immediately had it towed to the dealership to assure safety for all. I purchased what I thought would be a safer longevity vehicle to transport my children. I am really having a difficult time with understanding of my concerns are of top priority. As I do appreciate being given a rental while they try a figure it out. My major concerns are being given the vehicle back at the same exact safety issues or worse. Please your cooperation in assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated
