2005 Nissan Murano complaints

2005 NISSAN MURANO MADE A LEFT TURN AND MY SEAT FRAME BROKE. DRIVER'S SIDE REAR BRACKET. NISSAN WANTS $1200 TO FIX. SEAT BRACKETS SHOULDN'T BREAK. THERE ARE TONS OF OCCURRENCES OF THIS PROBLEM RECORDED. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

ALL THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY '05 NISSAN MURANO DON'T WORK PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER DOORS HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. THE LIFT GATE LOCK WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

I TOO OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS MORE MILEAGE THAN THE EARLIER ENTRY, I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE IN THESE CARS. OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED MANY NISSAN MURANO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT MADE AWARE THAT THEY NEED TO REPORT THESE ISSUES SO THEY JUST SPEND HUNDREDS ON REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I AM SURE NISSAN HAS AN INVENTORY OF HOW MANY THEY HAVE REPAIRED AND CHARGED CUSTOMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER AS THIS IS PART OF THE SUSPENSION. *TR

THE FAILURE IS WITH MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE NO LONGER WORKS PROPERTY AND DROPS DOWN BLOCKING MY EYE LINE. WITHOUT HAVING IT TAPPED UP IN PLACE IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NISSAN CLAIMS IT IS NOT A DEFECT ALTHOUGH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CAN'T AFFORD $350 TO GET A NEW ONE AND NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP OUT THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. A RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO FIX ALL OF THE VISORS. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE IT STARTED FALLING, SO I'M PUTTING AN ESTIMATE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 73,000 MILES ON IT. APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES AGO, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE WHICH COST $3600 TO REPLACE. NISSAN DID NOT COVER IT WHILE THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR MANAGER DID SAY IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOT MY FAULT. IN FACT, MY CAR REPAIR PERSON HAS SAID IT IS 1/5TH THE SIZE OF A TRANSFER CASE OF A JEEP CHEROKEE, A CAR THE SAME SIZE OF MY MURANO. THEREFORE, IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. THE CVT NOW IS NEEDING REPAIR. AND, POSSIBLY THE TRANSFER CASE WILL BE NEEDING REPLACEMENT AS WELL. NOT A WELL BUILT CAR, IN MY OPINION. *TR

THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THE AIR INTAKE HOSE FELL OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION CAUSING THE ENGINE TO INSTANTLY STALL LEAVING THE CAR DISABLED WITH NO STEERING CONTROL. THE FIRST TWO TIMES WERE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS, BUT THE THIRD TIME WAS ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD AT NIGHT CAUSING A SERIOUS AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR WAS ALMOST STRUCK SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS REMOVING MY TODDLER FROM THE BACKSEAT OF THE DISABLED CAR. EACH OF THE THREE TIMES THE CAR HAS STALLED I BROUGHT THE CAR TO NISSAN THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THEY PREVIOUSLY REPLACED A DIFFERENT RECALL PART IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM, BUT THE WAY THE CAR WAS DESIGNED MADE THE OTHER END OF THE AIR INTAKE HOSE LIKELY TO FALL OFF DUE TO VIBRATION. THEY SHOWED ME HOW REMOVING THE AIR FILTER DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CAN LOOSEN THE AIR INTAKE HOSE, EVEN WHEN THE CLAMP IS TIGHTENED. I ASKED THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE HOSE WAS DESIGNED. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD TAKEN THE HIGHWAY HOME AND THE CAR HAD STALLED AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE SUGGESTED FIX FROM NISSAN WAS TO TIGHTEN THE HOSE CLAMPS EACH TIME THE CAR IS USED, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW SUPPOSEDLY AFTER THE CLAMPS WERE TIGHTENED BY NISSAN SERVICE MECHANICS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS DEFECT AND I AM GRATEFUL THAT NOBODY HIT US WHILE THE CAR WAS STALLED. AFTER THREE TIMES, I AM TOO SCARED TO EVER DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN.

2005 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SEAT FRAME HAS BROKE IN THE LEFT REAR CORNER. *TR

WHILE TEMPORARILY STOPPED, THERE WAS A LOUD POP FROM UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT DROPPED WITH THE DRIVER STILL SEATED IN IT. THE SEAT IS NOW LOOSE AND ROCKS BACK A FORTH AS THE SEAT SUPPORT FRAME ATTACHING THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR HAS BROKEN. WE ARE 1,700 MILES FROM HOME AND ARE FACED WITH A LONG DRIVE HOME WITH A DANGEROUSLY LOOSE AND PARTIALLY DETACHED SEAT. WE HAD BEEN DRIVING ON VERY SMOOTH ROADS IN A NORMAL MANNER AND NOTHING HAS OCCURRED THAT MIGHT CAUSE THE FAILURE OF A SEAT SUPPORT SYSTEM. IN SEVERAL MILLION MILES OF DRIVING, THIS IS THE FIRST SEAT SUPPORT FAILURE I'VE EVER WITNESSED, BUT A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET INDICATES THIS IS AN ALL TOO COMMON FAILURE FOR THIS PARTICULAR MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR CAR.

2005 NISSAN MURANO. FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH KEYLESS ENTRY, OUTSIDE ELECTRONIC DOOR BUTTON, OR MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE MANUAL LOCK INSIDE THE CAR. ONLY WAY TO LOCK DOOR IS WITH KEY. SO TO LOCK DOOR ONCE IN CAR, MUST OPEN WINDOW, AWKWARDLY INSERT KEY INTO OUTSIDE DOOR KEYHOLE WHILE INSIDE CAR, AND THEN TWIST KEY. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY, CANNOT UNLOCK THE FRONT DOOR DRIVER SIDE WITHOUT USING KEY FROM THE INSIDE, WHICH MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS OF EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO MANY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET, DEALERS WANT FROM $500 TO $600 TO REPAIR EVEN TO FIX THE MANUAL LOCKING PROCESS FOR THE DOOR. THIS AMOUNT IS PROHIBITIVE FORM MANY PEOPLE FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE FIX OF LESS THAN A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR AT LEAST THE MANUAL LOCKING PROCESS. THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEM IS A LUXURY ITEM, BUT THE MANUAL LOCKING SYSTEM IS BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY THE DEALERS AND IN MY OPINION, PRESENTS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

MY VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE ON 11/9/2010 APPROXIMATELY AROUND 6:00 PM. AS I WAS DRIVING MY MURANO NISSAN ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO GO HOME AFTER WORK, I HEARD A HARD SNAP AND FELT A LITTLE JERK TOWARDS MY LEFT SIDE. UNSURE OF WHAT IT WAS, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD. AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, I FELT A ROUGH THUMPING UNDERNEATH MY SEAT. I THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE THAT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS GOING FLAT OR HAD SOME KIND OF PROBLEM. AS I DROVE FURTHER, I FELT MY FRONT SEAT SWAY BACK AND FORTH, AS I ACCELERATED AND AS I WAS BRAKING. I ACCELERATED AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SWAYING MOTION WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. AGAIN, THE SWAYING MOTION (BACK AND FORTH) OF THE FRONT SEAT OCCURRED. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CHECKED THE SEAT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS BROKEN COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM THE TRACK AND MOVES FREELY. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN TULSA TO HAVE IT CHECKED TODAY, AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED A NEW FRAME FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT, AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1275.00 INSTALLED. I HAVE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH ONLINE TO DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A DEFECT FOR THE NISSAN MURANO FOR THE YEARS THAT INCLUDE THE 2005. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE RODE WITH THE SEAT ABLE TO MOVE SO FREELY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE AT WELL, AND THEN I'LL END UP LAYING ON MY BACK IN THE BACK SEAT WHILE I'M TRYING TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT RANDOMLY FALLS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. I DRIVE OVER 120 MILES A DAY, AND AM SCARED THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS PART IS ALSO $300 + TO REPLACE!! *TR

DRIVER'S SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. WILL DROP DOWN AND OBSCURE VISION AT ANY MOMENT. PASSENGER SUN VISOR IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING. WILL NOT STAY UP, DROPS DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT HAD SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LEAN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 51000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO WHEN WE HIT A BUMP AND MY DRIVERS SEAT DROPPED, AFTER I GOT HOME I CHECKED AND THE METAL SEAT FRAME HAD CRACKED ON THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I WORRY BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPENED DURING AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT WOULD OFFER NO SUPPORT TO THE DRIVER AND COULD EVEN HURT THE PASSENGER BEHIND THE DRIVER. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN USA AND TOLD ME TO GET A REPORT FROM DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS NO RECALL

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. RECENTLY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE, CAUSING IT TO ROCK DURING REGULAR DRIVING AND TIP OVER WHEN GOING AROUND TURNS. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THE DEALER REFUSE TO REPAIR THE SEAT UNDER WARRANTY, STATING THAT IT IS A RESULT OF "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I ATTEMPTED TO LOCATE THE PART MYSELF AND LEARNED THAT NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE PART NUMBER SEVEN TIMES, IN ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PART AS IT IS IN HIGH DEMAND. THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN NOT ONLY DUE TO THE BOUNCING AND ROCKING BUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT WILL DISCONNECT COMPLETELY. I CAN'T EVEN FATHOM HOW THIS SEAT WOULD HOLD UP DURING AN ACCIDENT. LAST WEEK, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, A TRACTOR-TRAILER ENTERED MY LANE OF TRAVEL. I SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING IT BUT, DUE TO THE BROKEN SEAT, MY BODY FLEW TOWARD THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, NEARLY CAUSING ME TO TOTALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR IN THE PROCESS. MY CAR RAN OFF THE ROAD BUT, LUCKILY, I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. *TR

DRIVER SEAT FRAME LIFT MECHANISM BREAKAGE. SEAT LOOSE ON BASE AS RESULT. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING. AIRBAG MODULE DETERMINED TO BE BAD. OVER $1000 TO REPLACE. I SEE WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. DEALER SAID AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN EVENT OF CRASH.. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO- DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME SNAPPED AT THE WELD AND ENTIRE SEAT NOW TETERS BACK AND FORTH DIAGONALLY. CAR WAS ONLY 4 YRS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED. GIRLFRIEND'S CAR IS SAME MODEL/YR AND SAME HAPPENED TO HER THIS YEAR (NISSAN LOOKED AT IT AND DID NOTHING). THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD AND AN OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT/DESIGN FLAW. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS BUT IS DOING NOTHING FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. IS IT GONNA TAKE PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO A CAR ACCIDENT OR EVEN THE LOSS OF AN INNOCENT PERSON'S LIFE FOR NISSAN TO CONSIDER THIS A HAZARD? *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR HAS FAILED ON 2005 MURANO. YOU NEVER KNOW WHETHER THE DOOR HAS ACTUALLY LOCKED OR NOT WHEN LOCKING THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE OR EXTERIOR ELECTRICAL DOOR BUTTON UPON LEAVING IT. IF INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND DOORS ARE LOCKED USING THE ELECTRICAL BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, DRIVERS SIDE DOOR MAY OR MAY NOT LOCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IF THERE IS A THREAT FROM A PERSON OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO LEAVES THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO THEFT WHILE AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. DEALER WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY, WANTS EXCESSIVE CHARGE TO REPAIR. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT IS OFF HINGE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN FOR REVIEW. THEY SAID IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. KNOWN ISSUE FOR SEAT TO BREAK ON WELDED LEFT CORNER BUT WILL COST OVER $1000 OUT OF POCKET TO FIX. HAD NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE INVESTIGATE, THEY REFUSED TO COVER AS WELL. FAULTY SEAT KNOWN ISSUE AND CANNOT GET THEM TO PAY TO FIX IT. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN. IT WILL NOT STAY UP OR DOWN. I HAVE READ ON LINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN NISSAN MURANOS. I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. *TR

MY MURANO POWER DOOR ACTUATORS IN PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND TRUNK MALFUNCTIONED DURING WARRANTY PERIOD AND NEEDED TO REPLACE. AFTER WARRANTY THREE REMAINING DOOR ACTUATORS ARE HAVING CONSTANT PROBLEMS NOT LOCKING / UNLOCKING. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. THIS FAILURE IS AN INTERMITTENT OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE DOORS LOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN ADDITION, SOMETIMES THE DOORS UNLOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. AND THE MURANO'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT IT'S NOT EASY TO COMPREHEND IF IT'S NOT YOUR CAR, FOR INSTANCE A RENTAL CAR. I CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE CONFUSED HOW UNLOCK A DOOR USING THE MANUAL LEVEL IN AN EMERGENCY WHEN THEY VIRTUALLY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH IT. IN EMERGENCIES EVERY SECOND COUNTS. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY A HIGH RISK IN EMERGENCY SCENA

THE PIVOT, WHICH ATTACHES THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT TO THE CAR, BROKE. NOW THE SEAT WOBBLES SEVERELY AND IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, WOULD NOT BE FIRMLY BRACED TO THE VEHICLE. *TR

POWERLOCK FAILURE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH A GOLD PREFERRED EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT AND THE VISOR WON'T STAY UP. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM BUT IT'S CONSIDERED A "TRIM" (?) ITEM AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE COVERED OR SUBJECT TO A RECALL. *TR

DRIVER SEAT IS BROKEN AND MOVES ON IT'S OWN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH HE DROVE OVER A BUMP AND BOTH FRONT SUN VISORS FLIPPED DOWNWARDS. HE FLIPPED THE VISORS BACK UP INTO HOLDING POSITION, BUT AFTER DRIVING OVER ANOTHER BUMP THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR UNTIL THE VISORS WOULD NOT LONGER REMAIN UP IN THE HOLDING POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN AND SOMETHING POPPED AND NOW THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH ON THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT. NOT VERY SAFE HAVING A SEAT THAT ROCKS WHILE DRIVING AND BROKE WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD WHEN IT BROKE. IT IS VERY SCARY TO HAVE IT BREAK AS YOU DRIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE FRONT DRIVERS BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND UPON EXAMINATION HE NOTICED THE SEAT WAS DETACHED FROM THE MOUNTING TRACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT DETACHED FROM THE MOUNTING TRACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

2005 MURANO SUN VISORS BROKE AND FELL HALF WAY DOWN BLOCKING SOME OF MY DRIVING VIEW. THEY WANT OVER $325.00 FOR A NEW ONE TIMES 2 = $650.00 WITHOUT ANY ASSURANCE THAT REPLACEMENTS WILL NOT DO THE SAME. THE ONLY ANSWER I GET IS OUT OF WARRANTY. PERHAPS YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME HELP TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE SHORT OF SEWING A SNAP TO THE ROOF. THANK YOU FOR ANY COOPERATION. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO - DRIVER SEAT BROKE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

DOOR LOCKS DOES NOT WORK AS INTENDED HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE.

BROKEN WELDS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BASE FRAME. FIRST BROKE ABOUND 4/9/2008. AFTERMARKET SEAT HEATERS HAD BEEN INSTALLED BY A VENDOR PREVIOUSLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO VENDOR, FOUND BROKEN WELDS IN THE DRIVER SEAT BASE, CAUSING THE BASE TO DROP DOWN AND TO THE LEFT. VENDOR REMOVED THE DRIVER SEAT, ALIGNED, REINFORCED , MIG WELDED THE AFFECTED AREAS. VENDOR REASSEMBLED AND TESTED SEAT, APPEARED TO BE SOLID. 9/15/2010. DRIVING VEHICLE AT MODERATE SPEED (35-40 MPH) , LOUD "POP" , THEN LEFT REAR SIDE OF DRIVERS SEAT DROPPED DOWN. NO LOSS OF CONTROL , BUT NOW AN OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE SITUATION. 9/22/10. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO VENDOR (SEE ABOVE), VENDOR PULLED OFF ACCESS PANELS AND VERIFIED THAT WELDS PERFORMED IN 2008 WERE SOLID AND THAT THE FRAME HAD BROKEN IN ANOTHER SPOT. DECLINED TO EVEN ATTEMPT A REPAIR AT THIS POINT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS AND ADVISED CONTACTING DEALER FOR NEW PART. 9/22//10 VISITED NISSAN DEALER, SEAT INSPECTED BY TECHNICIAN, STATED THAT THE REAR LOWER DRIVERS SEAT FRAME WAS BROKEN AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE DEPT QUOTED A PRICE OF $750.00 PARTS, $275.00 LABOR, FOR A TOTAL OF $125.00 PLUS TAX. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IN MY MIND. THE CAR HAS 44,000 MILES, WAS PURCHASED IN, AND SPENDS MUCH OF IT'S TIME IN FLORIDA. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST OR CORROSION ANYWHERE I KNOW OF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN. *TR

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS WITH A BROKEN SEAT . I FILE A COMPLAIN THREE YEARS AGO. EVERYBODY THAT I KNOW WHO OWNS A NISSAN MURANO HAS THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF COMPLAINS ABOUT THESE PROBLEM AND THE ODI HAS NOT ISSUE A RECALL. HOW MUCH IS NISSAN CORPORATION GIVING TO NOT DO A RECALL?; IM SURE THAT IF THE NISSAN MURANO OWNERS GET TOGETHER WE CAN COLLECT MORE MONEY TO MAKE ODI TO DO A RECALL THESE IS RIDICULOUS. I CAN LET YOU DRIVE MY MURANO SO YOU CAN FEEL WHO HARD IS TO DRIVE MY MURANO WITH A BROKEN SEAT. ODI NEEDS TO WORK ON THESE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT IN MY NISSAN MURANO FRAME CRACKED. WHILE I WAS STOPPING AT A STOP SIGNED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GO HEAD FIRST IN THE WINDSHIELD. I F MY KIDS WAS IN THE CAR THEN NO TELLING IF I LOST CONTROL OR HIT MY HEAD NO TELLING WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS BEFORE AND NOW IT SEEMS THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME FAILURE AS WHAT I HAVE HAD HERE. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE SEAT YET AND WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. *TR

DRIVER SEAT LEFT SIDE OF SEAT, BRACKET BROKE WHILE DRIVING. THE SEAT IS UNSTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ON 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THREE LOCKS SOMETIMES WORK,BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY DON'T. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BECAUSE THE LOCK WILL NOT WORK. I UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2005 I NOTICED 9-13-2010 MY BACK PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE INSIDE SWITCH OR WITH THE REMOTE I WENT TO THE NISSAN STORE THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $115.00 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT I REFUSED I WENT TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE AND AUTO ZONE THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY JUST THOSE TWO DOORS ARE ACTING THIS WAY I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO JUST GIVE SOMEONE TO CHECK THE PROBLEM I NEED TO KNOW THE PROBLEM. I WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL I CAN NOT LEAVE THOSE TWO BUILDINGS TO CHECK AND SEE IF SOMEONE HAS BROKEN INTO MY CAR EVERY MINUTE BECAUSE THE DOORS DON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN AND I HAVE A DISABLED CHILD AS WELL I PAID TOO MUCH MONEY TO PURCHASE THIS NICE VEHICLE I WANT EVERY LITTLE THING TO WORK PROPERLY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY CONSIDERING I HAVEN'T HAD IT A YEAR YET. *TR

REF COMPLAINT #[XXX]OF 9/8/10. DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSE/NISSAN MURANO; TUES 9/7/10. THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP BECAUSE I AM UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED BEFORE AND SIMPLY "DROPPED" BY YOUR DEPARTMENT. THIS IS A "SAFETY ISSUE" WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS HAD THE SEAT COLLAPSED WHEN OUR DAUGHTER (SHORT AND TINY) WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE A FEW DAYS EARLIER ON A TRIP FROM SPRINGFIELD TO RICHMOND VA. THANK GOD SHE DID NOT ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM THEN. THE SUPPORT FOR THE SEAT BROKE! WE HAVE THE PART. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. PEOPLE ARE "WELDING" THE PART BACK: WHAT HAPPENS IF THAT SHOULD BREAK AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURS? ONE SHOULD NOT BE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE THIS ROUTE!! WE WOULD HOPE THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT WOULD TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND HAVE NISSAN RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR A TOTAL REFIT OF THE SEAT BEFORE CATASTROPHE HAPPENS. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUN VISOR ON DRIVER SIDE HAS FAILED CAUSING IT TO SUDDENLY DROP AND OBSTRUCT THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. *TR

LOCK ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED AND DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK PROPERLY. MAKES THIS UNSAFE AT NIGHT AS I WORK A NIGHT JOB AND IF THE CAR DID NOT LOCK PROPERLY COULD BE SAFETY ISSUE, ALSO GETTING INTO THE CAR AS THE MURANO IS DESIGNED TO BE KEYLESS, IN A HURRY TO TAKE THE KEY OFF THE KEY FOB IS TIME CONSUMING AND IN A PANIC USAGE. LOCKS JUST STOPPED WORKING AFTER HAD BEEN WORKING FINE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE, AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SAME ISSUE, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SO MANY OF SAME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CAR MAKERS. *TR

PASSENGER-SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP, STORED POSITION. IT WILL FALL AT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER-SIDE VISOR WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AS HE SET IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT THE BACK LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT COLLAPSED. HE HAD NOTICE BEFORE THE SEAT COLLAPSED THAT THE SEAT WAS WOBBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE FRAME OF THE SEAT WAS BROKEN. THE CONTACT STATED THE DEALER HAS ORDERED THE PART AND HE WAS WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM ALSO.

2005 NISSAN MURANO DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO LOCK AND UNLOCK. I HAVE A 2005 MURANO AND THE DOOR LOCKS RECENTLY HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE LOCK WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE OR WITH THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON ON DRIVER OR PASSENGER DOOR. THIS IS EVEN A BIGGER PROBLEM HAVING A 2 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR IS MANUALLY. SINCE THERE IS NO KEY HOLE ON THE REAR DOORS YOU HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE VEHICLE TO LOCK THE DOOR. I CAN'T EVEN LOCK THE DOOR IF SHE MANUALLY MOVES THE LOCK WITH HER HAND I CAN'T LOCK IT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE DRIVER LOCK, THEN PROGRESSED TO THE REAR RIGHT DOOR, NOW THREE OF THE 4 DOORS ARE AFFECTED AND ALSO THE REAR HATCH. IT IS NOT AN OPTION TO OPEN IF YOU CAN'T USE THE UNLOCK BUTTON. THERE IS NO MANUAL RELEASE BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE HATCH. THIS CAN A PUBLIC PROBLEM FOR EVER ATTEMPTING TO GET A CHILD OUT OF A CAR IN THE CASE OF ANY EMERGENCY. *TR
