2010 Murano vibration at stop

[Omega-3]

Hey guys, anyone else experiencing where if you come to a red light and you feel a vibration in the steering wheel and seat?

NoHave a 2010 with 700 miles on it now. Smooth as glass at stop light.

Does it do it if you put in park or neurural?.

Watch it and let dealer know.

Does this occur while you are coming to a stop, or after you are stopped. If the former, check you brakes, if the latter, maybe an idle problem of some kind...

Our 2009 with 27,000 miles on it has no such vibrations while stopping or at idle. But with that amount of miles (in 14 months), you can tell we don't stop too often!

It happens after i come to a complete stop. It's not a very big vibration but I can feel it through my foot and even the gear lever and I never had this feeling when I first got it.

I just hate taking it to the dealership cause then will say they found nothing wrong.

I've had the vibration in my 2009 LE...was noticeable through the steering wheel (but not seat and brake peddle. Most noticable when I came to a stop at light.

I want to say that it may be coming from the engine, and went away when Spring/Summer rolled around, which makes me think it may be from the gasoline and the winter additives. Long shot, but it was all I could think of. I always put 93 octane at name brand (Shell, BP, etc...) stations.

I have the same problem... got the car in April 2010 (2010 SL)... it started in October... still driving me crazy at every traffic light...

I feel rocking motion at every stop in 2011 Murano. It is in every 2011 Murano because I test drove sevaral at different delarships. I did some research on this.
Rocking motion is a function of how much Gas you have in the gas tank. All vehicles tilt forward once and tilt backward softly once that stops. But 2011 Muranos rock 3~4 times more in adition to typycal forward/backward motion and amplitide of rock is maximum 3/4 full gas tank. This is an ocilation of forces due to load shifting between front and rear axels. So this could be due to
1. No bafles in the Gas tank to stop gas rocking inside (may be they cost reduce and screw up some design)
2. too soft shocks or coil springs

Owners please call Nissan and complain. If lot of us complain they will fix it!

Have you brought this to the dealer and demonstrated this problem? Usually the dealers are very quick to take care of an issue like this if it can be recreated for the service tech.

[axp0102000]

Yes. service tech from the dealer drove with me and he agree that it is a problem but said nothing they can do because it is a design issue. He said there are no adjustments in the shocks to even try and see if it goes away. Also I complain Nissan and they said if all Muranos do it then only engineering can solve it they will forward the case to Eng dept.

Interesting, I would suggest bring it to another Nissan dealer to get a second opinion. Not sure what to tell you, I had a 2009 Murano, and I did not notice anything like this, and I am generally rather picky.
