Nissan
Murano

While driving my new 2025 Nissan Murano (owned for 3 weeks), I parked the vehicle and exited. I realized the car was sticking out into traffic, so I got back inside to restart it. When I attempted to start the vehicle, the dashboard displayed the message: “Warning: Key system error – see owner’s manual” and the car would not start. The vehicle remained disabled for at least 10 minutes while partially obstructing traffic, creating a safety hazard. I contacted the dealership immediately, and they advised me not to drive the car until it could be inspected. The vehicle was towed to the dealership, where it was held for 24 hours. After consulting with Nissan, the dealer reported that the issue may have been caused by not pressing the “park” button prior to shutting off the engine, and that the system may intentionally shut down for 10 minutes to perform a “safety check.” This explanation was concerning, as the car became unexpectedly disabled without prior warning or symptoms, and the dealership had not previously encountered this issue.

The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45-55 MPH in a construction zone, the vehicle unintendedly veered towards the wall. The contact was able to steer the vehicle to the intended direction. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the Lane Departure camera was replaced. The contact also stated that the infotainment system displayed a gray image and could not be turned off. The dealer pushed the ON/OFF button of the infotainment system for an extended period, and the infotainment system was reset. The contact stated while driving 5-10 MPH, the vehicle came to a complete stop and shifted to park(P) independently. The contact stated that the engine had turned off, but the infotainment system was still on. The contact attempted to turn off and restart the vehicle and attempted to shift out of park(P), but the vehicle failed to respond as intended. The contact walked to the dealer and returned to the vehicle with a dealer's representative, who assisted the contact in restarting the vehicle. The vehicle was able to restart after several attempts and was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the failure was related to the Engine Auto START/STOP system. The engineers at the manufacturer and a consumer affairs representative advised the contact not to turn off the vehicle after the Engine Auto Start-Stop system engaged at a complete stop; however, the contact informed the engineers that the vehicle was in motion when it stopped and shifted to park(P) independently. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 6,500.
