2010 Nissan Murano Brakes

THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLELEY FAILED AND A REAR AXEL CAME LOOSE AND ALMOST LOST ATIRE DRIVING BEFORE THE BRAKES STOPPED AND FAILED IJUST HAD BRAKE FLUID PUT IN THE RESIVIOR TOO AND THEY STILL FAILED ON THE VEHICLE. *DSY

'TAKATA RECALL' WHEN TRYING TO STOP ON ROADS THAT ARE HIGHWAY OR CITY AND IT IS RAINING, SNOWING, OR I HIT A POT HOLE AND THE ABS SYSTEM TURNS ON THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR.

WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE IN MOTION THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AFTER ANALYSIS, THE MECHANIC THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE THE MASTER CYLINDER. IT WAS NOT, AND HE INDICATED THAT IT WAS THE ABS ACTUATOR OR AN ABS BRAKING ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO BRAKE RECALLS AND THAT ANY SERVICE OR INVESTIGATION WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 71,600 MILES ON IT AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE COMPROMISED AT THIS POINT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THAT HAS BEEN HAUNTING NISSAN IN THE PAST, IS MY OPINION. I FEEL THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF SERIOUSNESS OF THIS SAFETY.

I WAS PULLING IN TO MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK (IN MOTION) WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE, BUT IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. I TRIED THE BRAKE AGAIN, SAME THING. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AWAY FROM POLES AND OTHER CARS, SO NOTHING WAS DAMAGED. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY FOUND THE BRAKES WERE FINE. FLUKE? NO. THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED, BUT NOTHING'S BEING DONE. THIS HAPPENED WITH A 2010 NISSAN MURANO.

BRAKES FAILED AND REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER TWICE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN . PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING.

THE ABS BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WENT ON 2 DAYS AGO. THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK FINE FOR STOPPING, BUT I DID FEEL SOME RESISTANCE WITH ACCELERATION. MY VEHICLE HAS 77,000 MILES. DROPPED IT OFF WITH THE DEALER TODAY. THEY JUST PHONED STATING THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR MOTOR FAILED TO THE TUNE OF $3400 AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER A LITTLE ONLINE INVESTIGATION, QUICKLY DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM NISSAN HAD IN THE 2009 MURANO FOR WHICH THEY DID A VOLUNTARY RECALL. THE REP AT ORANGE COAST NISSAN SAID SHE PHONED NISSAN CORPORATE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP AND SHE SAID THEY REFUSED. AT THE VERY LEAST, THEY SHOULD PROVIDE THE PART FOR FREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO DECELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. MURFREESBORO NISSAN (814 MEMORIAL BLVD, MURFREESBORO, TN 37129, (615) 893-0252) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

IN OCTOBER 2018, DRIVING IN A MODERATE RAIN SHOWER, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL NORMALLY AND FELT THE BRAKING ACTION START, AGAIN NORMALLY, BUT WHEN I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE, THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SERVICE FACILITY A FEW DAYS LATER, THE BRAKES WERE WORKING NORMALLY NOW. THE MECHANIC INDICATED I NEED NEW BRAKE PADS ON THE REAR WHEELS (THE FRONT BRAKES HAD BEEN REWORKED A YEAR PRIOR). AFTER THE REPAIRS THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN STARTED GETTING SOFT AGAIN, ESPECIALLY DURING RAIN; THIS CONTINUED FOR 2 MONTHS. IN JANUARY, 2019 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE. THEY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE PREVIOUS REAR WHEEL BRAKE REPAIR. I HAD NISSAN REPAIR THE REAR BRAKES AND BLEED THE SYSTEM. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD FOR 3 WEEKS THEN WHILE MAKING A TURN THE FRONT WHEELS SLIPPED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I LATER TESTED THE BRAKES (IN A SAFE LOCATION) BY "SLAMMING" ON THE BRAKES WHILE MOVING 30 MPH. THE BRAKES DID HOLD BUT MY FOOT FELT LIKE IT WAS ON THE FLOOR. THE SOFTNESS LASTED 2 DAYS BUT SEEMED TO GET BETTER WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AS OF THIS DATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED BUT HOW DO YOU FIX AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITHOUT THROWING MONEY AT IT? THE BRAKE PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS. THE 2010 ONLY HAS 32K MILES ON IT.

WHEN I WOULD DRIVE AND GO TO BREAK, I COULD FEEL THE BRAKES MOVE DOWN QUICKLY AND HAVE MY FOOT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE MY CAR WOULD ACTUALLY SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR AND THEY SAID THAT THE ABS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WENT TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY ABS DOES NEED TO BE REPLACED AND HE LOOKED ON-LINE AND SAID THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS BRAKES. WHEN I LOOKED ON-LINE AND READ THE RECALL INFORMATION (#18V916), I NOTICED I WAS HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY ABS BRAKES BUT MY CAR WAS A YEAR SHY OF THE RECALL YEAR MODELS. I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT THEY DID DOCUMENT MY CALL AND GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER (34912594).

BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WENT ON LAWN TO AVOID HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM THAT RANDOMLY APPEARS. 2009 HAD A VOL RECALL AND THE AFFECTED PARTS INVOLVED ARE IN THIS MODEL YEAR AS WELL. THE DATE CODES SHOW IT TO BE A 2009 PART. NISSAN WOULD NOT ASSIST US. BRAKE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. VEHICLE HAS UNDER 60K MILES ON IT. OVER $3000.00 FOR REPAIR

BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR! ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT! SAME PROBLEM THAT ALL OF THE 09'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR YET NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL. (SPONGY BRAKES)

THE VDC, BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH. I HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BY NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THERE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEM. NISSAN RELEASED THE CAR TO ME KNOWING IT IS UNSAFE. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $3000.00 TO REPAIR THE CAR. IN 2009,2011,2014-2017 THE SAME PART AND PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THESE CARS AS WELL. WHY IS 2010 NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY? AND LOOKING FOR SOME HELP WITH THE SITUATION.

BRAKES GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. ALMOST INVOLVED IN HUGE ACCIDENT! 2009 BEING RECALLED BUT NISSAN HAS DENIED OFFERING US HELP BECAUSE STATES NO OPEN RECALLS ON 2010 SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS 09'S OUR MECHANIC WILL NOT TOUCH BECAUSE STATES IT IS A DEFECT WITH MURANOS AND DOES NOT WANT TO BE HELD LIABLE IN CASE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN MY VEHICLE AS I DRIVE MY CHILDREN DAILY

THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED BACK IN AUGUST CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF MY VEHICLE I SPRAINED MY NECK NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT THIS SINGLE VETRAN HAS TO SAY I WAS PULLING INTO A GAS STATION AND THE BRAKES FAILED AND IT WAS OUT OF GAS.

SOFT BRAKES, RECURRING CONCERN, REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND REPLACED BRAKE FLUID, STILL THE SOFT BRAKING IS STILL PRESENT. PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER TO BRAKE.

PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL DRIVING THRU ICY ROADS. THE CAR SKIDDED FOR A SHORT DISTANCE AS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT ALL OF THE TIME. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS PERMANENTLY ENGAGED. THE CAR IS STOPPING BUT THE BRAKES ARE VERY MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN. I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. IF SO, THIS MUST BE A DEFECT AS THE CAR SEEMS STUCK IN ABS MODE.

THE VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM IS FAILING DURING SUDDEN OR QUICK STOPS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THEY COULD OBSERVE AT THE TIME. THIS WAS ON 8/23/18. THE BRAKES NEED TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, IF AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, 11/4/18. THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO STOP AND TOOK MULTIPLE PUMPS OF THE BRAKES.

THE BRAKES FAILED (I WAS IN MOTION) AND I WAS ALMOST IN A CAR ACCIDENT. AS OF RIGHT NOW, I HAVE NO BRAKES. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BY YOUR AGENCY AND NISSAN IS CURRENTLY CONDUCTING A "VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN." THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND THE SECOND TIME I HAVE REPORTED IT TO NISSAN AND YOUR AGENCY. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM NISSAN OR YOUR AGENCY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL NOT ONLY FOR THE 2009'S, BUT THE 2010'S AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ASAP. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED TODAY BECAUSE OF NISSAN'S DEFECTIVE PARTS (ABS ACTUATOR). THERE'S MANY ARTICLES ON-LINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME AND THE OTHERS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM? AS OF NOW, I HAVE NO BRAKES AND MY CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN.

DRIVING THE OTHER DAY, I HAD TO MAKE A FAST STOP AND MY BRAKE PETAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I BARELY MISSED HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOT A VEHICLE IN THE LEFT LANE. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR 24 HOURS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC THEY RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HI BUMPS IN THE ROAD, STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND WENT TO THE FLOOR, PUMPED BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY STOP. WENT TO SHOP, THE SHOP CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND SAID THE ABS WENT OUT BECAUSE THE ABS HAD NOT BEEN USED, THEY RESET THE COMPUTER NOW I HAVE BRAKES. THE SHOP TOOK CAR OUT AND LOCKED BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. WENT TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY CHECKED COMPUTER AND SAID THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES, NO RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COURTESY NISSAN (1777 N CENTRAL EXPY, RICHARDSON, TX 75080) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. *BF UPDATED 9/12/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED A LARGE POTHOLE A FEW YARDS FROM A STOP SIGN. UPON APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL "WENT TO THE FLOOR" AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN (VEHICLE SPEED WAS APPROX. 25 MPH). EVASIVE ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO NAVIGATE THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DRIVER LIMPED THE VEHICLE TO HIS HOME IN ORDER TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THE INDIVIDUAL WAS ABLE TO RESTORE THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO NORMAL BY HITTING THE ABS ACTUATOR AND CONTROL UNIT WITH A RUBBER MALLET.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO FAILED TO WORK WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY. THE BRAKES LOST PRESSURE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WAS SOFT. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, THE NHTSA IS ALREADY INVESTIGATING THE 2009 NISSAN MURANO FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKE IS DEFECTIVE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PART AS NISSAN NEEDS TO REPAIR IT AS IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART.

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AFTER A 90 DEGREE INTERSECTION TURN. PRESSURE LOSS IN BRAKE PEDAL AFTER THAT. NOW IT REQUIRES TO PRESS THE BRAKES A LOT MORE TO HAVE SAME BRAKING EFFECT AS BEFORE.

BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AFTER BRAKING ON LOW FRICTION (WET PAVEMENT), WILL BRAKE AFTER THE PEDAL HAS BEEN PRESSED ALL THE WAY. WILL CORRECT ITSELF AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES. OCURRS MULTIPLE TIMES, EVERY TIME THE TRACTION SPINS ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS.
