2005 Nissan Murano complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FALL DOWN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING ON A BUMPY ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VISOR WOULD BE REPLACED AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,461. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000.

MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO HAD THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING IN 2008. TODAY, MAY 1, 2010 THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING. I FIND THIS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND/OR UNLOCK UNLESS YOU MANUALLY DO IT. I HAVE CHILDREN AND TO GET THE BABY OUT OF THE CAR SEAT I HAVE TO REACH BACK UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY AND THEN GO AROUND THE CAR TO TAKE HIM OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED IT WOULD BE $389 PER DOOR. I TRIED CALLING NISSAN HEADQUARTERS WHAT A JOKE....I'VE BEEN TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 15 MONTHS AGO, OUR DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE UNDERNEATH THE SEAT CAUSING THE SEAT TO LEAN TO THE LEFT AGAINST THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I TOOK THE SEAT OUT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND FOUND THE METAL FRAME SUPPORT BAR UNDERNEATH THE SEAT HAD SNAPPED. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD US TO BRING IT IN AND IT COULD COST UPWARDS OF $500 INITIALLY. I DECIDED TO FIX THE SEAT MYSELF AND RE-WELD THE METAL. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING FEELING THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BEING THAT THE SEAT IS PART OF THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WHICH I DID, THEN, TO HAVE THE DEALER CONTACT THEM. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $107 TO TAKE THE SEAT OUT LOOK AT IT, PRINT OFF SOME PAPERS AND PUT IT BACK IN THE CAR. NISSAN THEN CONTACTED ME AND DENIED ANY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE DEFECT, TOLD ME I WAS OVER WARRANTY AND FURTHERMORE THAT I VOIDED THE WARRANTY WHEN I FIXED MY OWN SEAT. I AM OUTRAGED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAR! AS I CHECK WITH PARTS PEOPLE OR EVEN DO RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IT'S CLEARLY EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. I HAVE FIXED THIS SEAT 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST 15 MONTHS AND I AM FED UP WITH IT. NISSAN WANTS $1000 TO FIX THIS. I THINK THAT SUCKS AND THEY SHOULD BE STANDING BY THEIR PRODUCT AND FIXING IT LIKE A REAL REPUTABLE COMPANY WOULD. THE WEBSITE I READ SEVERAL STORIES ON WAS CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. CAN YOU HELP? *TR

THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT BROKE ON MY WIFE'S 2005 NISSAN MURANO WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH. THE SEAT STARTED ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AS SHE WAS ONLY 3 MILES AWAY. THE CAR HAS 32,600 MILES. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, I FELT A SNAP FROM UNDER THE SEAT AND SLIGHTLY PULLED ME DOWN, WHICH CAUSED MY FOOT TO RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL BECAUSE I AM A SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED DRIVER. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS WEBSITE AND APPARENTLY THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SEAT OF A 2005 NISSAN MURANO SIMILAR TO MINE. NISSAN NEEDS TO PREVENT A MAJOR ACCIDENT UNLIKE TOYOTA THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO ON SUCH AN INSIGNIFICANT DEFECT. A LOT OF LIVES ARE AT RISK AND THEY DO NOT NEED TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS TO ACT ON THE ISSUE. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO.NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE SEAT. I HAVE APPROX 95K MILES. BEGINNING ON FRIDAY APRIL 16TH 2010. DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BEGAN TO WOBBLE (SIDE TO SIDE) AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP. I WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS I THOUGHT THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT HAD COME OFF THE TRACK. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TRIED TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING DUE TO THE PLASTIC COVERS ETC ON THE SIDES OF THE SEAT. HOWEVER, I DID NOTICE THAT I COULD COMPLETELY LIFT THE SEAT LEFT TO RIGHT. I VERY CAUTIOUSLY DROVE HOME. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, WE FOUND THAT A METAL PART UNDER THE SEAT IS COMPLETELY BROKEN IN HALF. THE SEAT IS STILL ON THE TRACK AND ALL OF THE POWER FUNCTIONS ARE STILL OPERATIONAL. HOWEVER, MY SEAT NOW WOBBLES EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN, MAKE TURNS OR COME TO A STOP. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS NOT A COVERED ITEM UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT WILL COST APPROX. $1000 PART AND LABOR TO REPAIR!! HOW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS BEFORE NISSAN VOLUNTARILY RECALLS THIS ITEM OR DO ACTUAL DEATHS HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING CHANGES? *TR

IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO THE SUN VISOR WONT STAY UP AND CONTINUOUSLY FALLS DOWN WHILE DRIVING, INSTANTLY BLOCKING MY VISION, AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVE READ OVER 300 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS, AND THERE ARE MANY MORE. *TR

TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH OVER A BUMPY ROAD SURFACE THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR RELEASED IN A DOWNWARD POSITION INTERMITTENTLY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED BUMPY ROAD CONDITIONS THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 11/16/10. *LJ

2005 MURANO SEAT RAIL SNAPPED / FAILED. SEAT DETACHED FROM SEAT MOUNT ON LEFT SIDE DRIVERS SIDE. SEAT IS NOW LOOSE AND UNSTABLE / NOT FACTORY SECURED TO MOUNTING RAIL SYSTEM. THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AS PROPER OPERATIONS OF RESTRAINT AND AIRBAG SYSTEMS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED WITH THE SEAT NOT PROPERLY ATTACHED TO FRAME. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO - DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. FALLS SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS VISION OF THE ROAD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. NISSAN SAYS IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR OF VEHICLE FALLS DOWN ON IT'S OWN. BLOCKS DRIVER'S VISION. OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. SOME TIMES MORE FREQUENTLY DEPENDING UPON THE ROAD. IF THE ROADWAY IS BUMPY, THE VISOR WILL FALL MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHOUT ANY EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IN SOME INSTANCES THE DEALER WILL REPAIR. IN OTHER INSTANCES THEY WILL NOT. COST OF THE REPAIR IS AROUND $400.00. I PLAN TO GO TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND HOPE THEY WILL REPAIR. *TR

ON MARCH 27, 2010, I WAS STOPPING AT A LIGHT AND THE DRIVER'S FRONT SEAT, IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO, BROKE. I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY; HOWEVER, MY SEAT WAS NOT COVERED. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND IT COST ME $461.23 TO HAVE MY SEAT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT MY REAR CUSHION SUPPORT BRACKET WAS BROKEN, THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MURANOS, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO EITHER GET IT FIXED THERE (AT THE DEALERSHIP) OR I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER FACILITY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS NOT NORMAL - WEAR AND TEAR 'A BROKEN SEAT FROM STOPPING AT A LIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS, BUT WOULD PUT IN A COMPLAINT ON MY BEHALF. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING A 05 NISSAN MURANO, A MONTH LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE AIRBAG MODULE WAS REPLACED AND SYSTEM WAS RESET. IN LATE 06 THE AIRBAG LIGHT START FLASHING AGAIN, THE DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM, WORKED FINE UNTIL OCT OF 08 AT THIS POINT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS ENDED. THEY RESET THE SYSTEM AND PULLED THE CODE FROM THE UNIT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE AKA CLOCKSPRING CABLE IS FAULTY THAT IS THE REASON WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS QUOTED A LITTLE OVER $2000 FOR THE REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS ENDED ASK TO TALK TO A MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ALSO ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER THAT DAY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, WHEN I CALLED THEM I WAS GIVEN THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RESET THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I ASK THE IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL WORK IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND WAS TOLD THEY CANT GUARANTEE IT WILL BUT IT SHOULD IF THE SYSTEM IS RESET AND THE LIGHT IS NOT ON. FROM THAT DAY TO NOW I HAVE TO RESET THE SYSTEM AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I'VE HAD IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEALS LEAKING WITH CAUSES THE OIL LEVEL TO GET LOW AND MAKES IT LOUD AND INCREASES THE RPM WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE SEAL REPLACED 3 TIMES, ONCE UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY, ONCE WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND JUST RECENTLY HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. AND AGAIN ASKED TO TALK TO A SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THIS SINCE ITS THE SAME PART BEING REPLACED 3 TIMES,

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO ON SUNDAY, APRIL 11,201 , I HEARD SOMETHING CRACK AND MY DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSED ON THE LEFT REAR. IT APPEARS THAT THESEAT FRAME BROKE. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN, AS I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO PULL OVER AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED. FROM AN INTERNET INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOME DIES AS A RESULT OF AN APPARENT DESIGN FLAW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT BRACKET BROKE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED; AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER SEAT WAS CAPABLE OF MOVING BACK AND FORTH INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WOULD OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WHEN THE CONTACT CALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

2005 NISSAN MURANO. DRIVER SEAT ANCHOR/BRACKET ON BACK LEFT BROKE. THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO ROCK SIGNIFICANTLY WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY DURING TURNS. MAIN SAFETY CONCERN IS THE THAT THE ISSUE CAUSES THE SEAT BELT TO FIT INCORRECTLY. IT IS EITHER BECOMING TOO LOOSE OR TOO TIGHT DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION OF THE SEAT ROCKING, THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND WAS TOLD IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE COST TO FIX IS $1,000.00. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET BUT WILL IN THE NEXT MONTH. *TR

DOOR LOCKS PROBLEM. WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS WITH MY CONTROL OR FROM THE INSIDE, THEY DON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK. SAME WITH THE TRUNK, I CANNOT OPEN MY TRUNK BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK. I CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO REPLACE LOCKS (ALL 5) FOR MORE THAN $1500.00 I ALSO SEE THIS ISSUE IS COMMON IN ALL NISSAN IN DIFFERENT YEARS. A RECALLED SHOULD BE CALLED SINCE THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THANKS *TR

MY DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE IN MY 2005 MURANO (68,000 MILES) IN THE SAME MANNER AS A NUMBER OF OTHERS DRIVERS HAVE INDICATED ALREADY. THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL FOR A TIME....VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! THE DRIVER SEAT WELD CAME LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE AND NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING AND GOING AROUND CORNERS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED IT WAS A $1000 PLUS FIX! HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY. DEALER AND EVEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WILL NOT COVER THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE. WILL BE CALLING NISSAN NEXT...BUT FROM THE LOOKS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT WILL BE A WASTE OF TIME SINCE I HAVEN'T HEARD OF NISSAN HELPING FIX ANYONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I'M AFRAID THAT UNTIL I GET THIS FIXED THAT THE ROCKING MOTION WILL BREAK THE LAST SUPPORT AND CAUSE THE ENTIRE SEAT TO BREAK LOOSE WHILE DRIVING. KNOW IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE....PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS!!!! *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK RELIABLY. IT WILL WORK USING THE KEY MANUALLY. THE OTHER LOCKS APPEAR TO BE WORKING PROPERLY AT THIS TIME. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED BY CAR AND BELONGINGS TO BE UNSECURED AND POSES A SAFETY CONCERN.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS "INCIDENTS" REGARDING A CONTINULING PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR. THE MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE VISOR UPRIGHT AND IN AN ANGLE POSITION TO BLOCK THE SUN IS NOT WORKING AND REPEATEDLY DROPS AND DROOPS RATHER UNEXPECTEDLY TO THE POINT OF HINDERING MY ABILITY OF DRIVING SAFELY. NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VISOR DROPS AND BLOCKS MY VIEW SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TALKED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THERE IS NO RECALL INFOMATION AND I MUST REPLACE ON MY OWN EXPENSE REGARDLESS IF I HAVE A WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY SOLUTIONS OTHER THAN TO PAY OVER $500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FIND THIS OUTRAGEOUS AND DANDEROUS. AN ONLINE SEARCH YEILDS A LARGE NUMBER OF OTHER MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

2005 MURANO SL WITH 48900 MILES. FAILED DRIVER'S SEAT AS NOTED IN 207 OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. UPON GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE, THE LEFT BACK PORTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY POPPED AND TILTED TO THE LEFT. THERE IS A SEVERE ROCKING MOTION OF THE SEAT NOW AND TURNING RIGHT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH FORCE IN ORDER TO REMAIN UPRIGHT AND DRIVE APPROPRIATELY. CURRENTLY AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAVING THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. HAVEN'T YET GOTTEN WORD ON THE "COST" OF THIS REPAIR BUT FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSAN AS THIS IS A STRUCTURAL FAILURE THAT SHOULD NOT OCCUR. HAVING NO INJURIES REPORTED DOES NOT MEAN THIS COULDN'T HAPPEN SOON. IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE YOU MOST DEFINITELY COULD LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO, THE DRIVERS SEAT SUPPORT BAR BROKE UNDERNEATH THE SEAT.THIS IS THE TUBE THAT SUPPORTS THE SEAT IN THE FRONT. IT IS A NOT A HEAVY ENOUGH MATERIAL. THIS IS CAUSING THE SEAT TO BE LOP SIDED AND LOOSE. IT ALSO ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE WHICH I FEEL IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT WOULD COMPLETELY BREAK OFF THE MOUNTS AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY TO THE DRIVER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A LARGE MAJORITY OF NISSAN MURANOS. PLEASE GO TO NISSAN MURANO.ORG AND YOU WILL SEE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS A RECALL BEFORE SOME INNOCENT PERSON GETS KILLED BY NISSAN FOR USING A MATERIAL THAT IS NOT DURABLE ENOUGH. I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER BY TRADE AND REVIEWED THE STRESS CALCULATIONS FOR THE TYPE OF MATERIAL USED AND IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT TURNS INTO A BAD SITUATION FOR SOMEONE. *CN INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2005 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SUN VISOR WILLL NOT STAY UP, ESPECIALLY IN COLD OR WET WEATHER POSING A DRIVER VIEW OBSTRUCTION SAFETY ISSUE.

AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR STOPPED HOLDING ITS POSITION. AT FIRST WE COULD GET IT TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION; IT JUST WOULDN'T STAY SET IN MID POSITION...IT WAS EITHER ALL THE WAY UP OR ALL THE WAY DOWN. A FEW MONTHS AGO (NOW 80,000 MILES) THE VISOR SLIPS OUT OF THE UP POSITION AND GOES TO THE FULL DOWN POSITION WHEN GOING OVER A BIG BUMP OR AT OTHER RANDOM TIMES. THE MURANO DOESN'T HAVE MUCH HEAD CLEARANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE, SO THE DROPPED VISOR COMPLETELY OBSCURES VISION. FROM OTHER DISCUSSION PAGES ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

HI, MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO HAS A SUN VISOR THAT WILL NOT STAY UP. IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TWICE. A DEFECT VISOR COULD BLOCK DRIVER'S VIEW, OR IF THE VISOR IS REMOVED COMPLETELY AND SUN SHINES RIGHT INTO THE EYES OF THE DRIVER THAT COULD BLIND DRIVER FROM SEEING THE ROAD. REGARDS, *TR

S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING RE TOYOTA RECALL PROBLEMS. *TGW 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING, THE SEAT BROKE AWAY FROM THE FLOOR. 18 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDED, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. *JB

SUN VISOR FAILURE 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE VISOR NO LONGER STAYS IN THE CLOSED / UPRIGHT POSITION. IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT FALLS IN THE 90DEG. (0DEG. FULLY CLOSED) POSITION HINDERING DRIVER'S FRONTWARD VISION. IT BEGAN TO ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS ABOUT 1 YR AGO. VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 5YRS OLD BUT, OVER THE BASIC WARRANTY MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY CLAIM. INITIALLY, VISOR WOULD DROP ABOUT 10-15 DEG. ENOUGH FOR IT TO DISTRACT THE DRIVER'S VISION. NOW, THE VISOR REQUIRES REMOVAL AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. VISOR FALLS UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE MOMENTARILY BLINDED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO OFFER REPLACEMENT SPRING CLIPS TO KEEP THE VISOR OUT OF THE DRIVERS VISION. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A SNAPPING SOUND AND THEN THE LEFT SIDE OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO LEAN TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE SEAT WAS VERY LOOSE AND EACH TIME I WENT AROUND A CURVE OR CAME TO A STOP THE SEAT WOULD SHIFT DRAMATICALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MURANO. THEY HAVE EVEN PUBLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO THEIR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR DEPARTMENTS ON THIS MATTER. HOWEVER, THE PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY OF THE VEHICLE WARRANTIES AND THEY WANTED APPROX. $1200.00 IN PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE BROKEN PART, WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE A WELD IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME. I OPTED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY WELDED MY EXISTING SEAT FRAME BACK TOGETHER FOR A COST OF $100.00. I FEEL THAT IF NISSAN IS AWARE THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS OFTEN ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ALERT THEIR SERVICE DEPT. OF THE MATTER THAT THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN WITH OUT WARNING. JUST HANGS THERE, I HAVE TO KEEP MY HAND ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM DROPPING DOWN AND BLOCKING BY VISION. *TR

OUR DRIVER AND LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR ACTUATOR RANDOMLY DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE INTELLIGENT KEY, NOR THE KEY FOB, NOR IF WE PUSH THE UNLOCK BUTTON - WE HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK IT AT TIMES. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND ARE REQUESTING A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVER WAS OPERATING VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO TRAUMA TO THE VEHICLE, IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. ONE MOMENT IT WAS FINE, THE NEXT I HEARD A POP AND THEN A CRACKING SOUND. THE BACK OF THE SEAT LISTED HEAVILY ON THE LEFT SIDE, THE BOTTOM WAS NO LONGER SECURED. IT MADE STEERING THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT AND VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR OF MY NISSAN MURANO KEEPS FALLING DOWN WHILE WE'RE DRIVING. IT BLOCKS THE VIEW SUDDENLY AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY DANGER. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO SUPPORT THIS. *TR

SRS RESTRAINT SYSTEM INDICATOR CAME ON IN 4TH QUARTER 2009 AND WAS REFERRED TO FITZGERALD AUTO IN CHAMBERSBURG PA. NO RESOLUTION WAS DETERMINED AND DEALER RESET FAULT INDICATOR . RECENT 1ST QUARTER 2010: INDICATOR CAME ON AGAIN AND HAVE SET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH SAME NISSAN DEALER . *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO - MECHANISMS CONTROLLING THE DOORS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I CANNOT EVEN OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY, IT DOES NOT WORK. THE TRUNK IS ALSO BROKEN, I CANNOT OPEN THIS EITHER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE, I CANNOT GET TO THE SPARE TIRE BECAUSE I CANNOT OPEN THE TRUNK. MY BROTHER HAS THE SAME CAR AND MODEL/YEAR, HIS CAR LOCKS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. MY COWORKER HAS A 2004 AND HER LOCKS DOES NOT WORK EITHER. I WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. OFTEN TIMES, THE DOOR FAILURES HAPPEN AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES; THEREFORE THE OWNERS HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE EXPENSES. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT OF MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO IS NOT WELL FIXED....ITS LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. IF I HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT THE SEAT CAN COME OFF. I THINK THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE 2005 NISSAN MURANO WE OWN WAS PURCHASED USED. SINCE WE HAVE HAD IT (ALMOST A YEAR) THERE HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVE MAINLY AFFECTED THE DOOR LOCKS. IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE AFFECTED MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, WE CANNOT USE THE UNLOCK THE DOORS USING THE REMOTE AND FURTHER, THE DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK USING THE UNLOCK SWITCH INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE MAIN SAFETY CONCERNS IS THAT OF LATE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THE LOCK HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND HAVE HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM OTHER DOORS. I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA AND THE EXTRA EXERTION TO TRY TO LEAVE THE CAR IS BOTH UNWANTED AND PAINFUL. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR SOME OTHER EVENT WHERE THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD BE THE ONLY CHOICE OF ESCAPE IT IS EXTREMELY POSSIBLE THAT I WOULD BE LOCKED IN THE CAR AND UNABLE TO GET OUT BECAUSE OF THE LOCKS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONTINUALLY REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT OCCURS IN MANY OF THE MURANO MODEL CARS AND WANT TO CHARGE WELL OVER $1000 TO FIX THE DOOR LOCKS. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND A MORE AFFORDABLE AND REASONABLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL THUS FAR. I AM OFTEN UNWILLING TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND WILL SOMETIMES DRIVE MY HUSBAND'S CAR INSTEAD, INCONVENIENCING HIM.
