Problem overview

Some Nissan Murano owners report experiencing severe jerking at 20 mph, which may be linked to problems with the electronic throttle control system, potentially causing similar issues at highway speeds. Additionally, some owners have noted inconsistent cruise control behavior, such as difficulties in setting or maintaining speed, which could stem from poor electrical connections at the input or output speed sensors. There are also reports of unintended acceleration while using cruise control, raising safety concerns that necessitate diagnostic and repair work. In certain models, the adaptive cruise control may shut off unexpectedly, leading to the deactivation of cruise control and triggering warning lights related to the forward emergency braking system. Furthermore, issues with collision avoidance systems, including cruise control and automatic braking, have been observed in the 2020 Nissan Murano. It is recommended that owners experiencing these issues have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and performance on the road.
