2005 Nissan Murano complaints

DRIVERS SEAT BROKEN. POSSIBLY A BROKEN BRACKET. *TR

I AM NOT SURE OF THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE; OTHER THAN NORMAL USAGE. THE FAILURE IS THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT OCCURS ALL OF THE TIME. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND IS ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT EASIER THAN I BECAUSE SHE IS SHORTER. HOWEVER WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO MOVE THE VISOR TO THE SIDE. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THE VISOR BLOCKS MY VISUAL VIEW AND MY HEAD COMES CLOSE TO HITTING IT WHEN I DRIVE. IF I REMOVE THE VISOR THEN BRIGHT SUN PROHIBITS MY VIEW. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN OF MINE. I WISH TO REPLACE IT BUT I AM UNABLE TO FIND ONE ONLINE. IN SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THE FOLLOWING THREAD. HTTP://WWW.NISSANFORUMS.COM/TRUCK-SUV/113557-MURANO-SUN-VISOR-FAILURE.HTML WHAT WORRIES ME HERE IS THAT IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM. IN FACT ONE POSTER THAN POSTS AS A NISSAN TECHNICIAN EVEN CLAIMS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FIND THAT DISTURBING. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS I AM UNABLE TO FIND THE PART. I COULD GO TO THE DEALER BUT THEN I FIND $200 FOR A DEFECT REPLACEMENT TO BE A BIT MUCH. *TR

MY 05 MURANO, JUST 33K MILES...THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BECOME DETACHED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT MAY HAVE BEEN A WELDING DEFECT. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE COST FOR REPAIR AND WHAT WAS INVOLVED, PARTS AND LABOR ARE APPROX. $1,000. THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT BOTTOM. SAID THE ASSEMBLY JUST COMES APART AND IS NOT REPAIRABLE. HE TOLD ME EVEN WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THIS STILL WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I HAVE ESCALATED A CLAIM WITH THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AT NISSAN AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CONTACT ME SOMETIME TODAY. SO FAR, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS AS WELL. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALLED ITEM FOR NISSAN. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 53,000 MILES. THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REFUSES TO MAINTAIN POSITION, JUST QUIT WORKING. WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP IN JACKSON, TN (CARLOCK) SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED. SEARCHED INTERNET AND FOUND OTHERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A MECHANICAL DEFECT AND ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE NISSAN ANSWER TO THESE DEFECTS IN THEIR SUN VISORS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN OVER ANY BUMPS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE FALLS INTO THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE VISOR CAN ONLY BE PUT IN THE UP POSITION OR THE DOWN POSITION, AND THE LEVEL CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

2005 NISSAN MURANO THE DRIVER SEAT BAR UNDER THE SEAT SNAPPED AS I WAS DRIVING IT. *TR

BROKEN SEAT FRAME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWELVE TIMES DUE TO THE FAILURE AND THEY ONLY PERFORMED A TEMPORARY REMEDY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

THE TRACK ASSEMBLY IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT FAILED. WHEN ENGAGED THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD BUT INSTEAD WOULD CAUSE THE ENTIRE SEAT TO SWIVEL TO THE RIGHT. PRIOR THE FAILURE THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE. ANY ATTEMPT TO SHIFT THE POSITION OF THE SEAT WHILE DRIVING COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER DRIVERS SIDE SEAT IN NISSAN MURANO 2005 JAMMED ON THE RIGHT SIDE AFTER 50,000 MILES. *TR

A BRACKET ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT HAS BROKEN, AND THE SEAT TILTS TO ONE SIDE AND ALSO FORWARD. IT IS LOOSE AND WILL MOVE FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES WHEN I DECELERATE/ACCELERATE OR GET IN/OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL USE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN ORDINARY DRIVING ON STREETS. THE BROKEN BRACKET APPEARS TO BE VERY SMALL FOR A WEIGHT-BEARING PIECE. THIS PIECE WOULD CERTAINLY NOT SURVIVE A CRASH. IF STILL INTACT, THE PIECE WOULD CERTAINLY BREAK DURING A CRASH. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO MOVE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO POSSIBLY IMPACT THE STEERING WHEEL OR WINDSHIELD. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS YET, AS I NEED TO DECIDE WHAT ROUTE TO TAKE. APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES ABOUT $1,000 TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE OFFENDING PART, BUT THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME FRAGILE PART. IT APPEARS THAT CONTACTING A PROFESSIONAL WELDER MAY BE A BETTER CHOICE, AS THEY CAN WELD THE PIECES TOGETHER AND STRENGTHEN THE PIECES TOO. *TR

SEAT SUPPORT ON DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE. READ ON INTERNET ABOUT SEVERAL SIMILAR FAILURES. 2005 NISSAN MURANO, 70,000 MILES. *TR

CVT TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. *TR

AS I WAS LEAVING MY GARAGE, I HEARD A CLICK AND A SNAP AND REALIZED (AFTER MY SEAT STARTED LEANING TO THE LEFT) THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO BROKE. LUCKILY I WASN'T IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT NISSAN HAS YET TO VOLUNTARILY RECALL THIS DEFECT. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER AND I AM WAITING FOR NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS THE 3RD INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS TRUCK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT TILTED TO THE LEFT WHEN SHE MADE A TURN. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HIT HER HEAD ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND RECOMMENDED SHE REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN HOWEVER; THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE DAMAGES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,519. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKCET SHEARED OFF DUE TO WHAT HE BELIEVED WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.

I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO IN NOV 2005. ON FEB 24, 2006, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THEY "ERASED ALL DTC'S AND RETESTED THE SYSTEM." IN MARCH 2006, I RETURNED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THAT TIME, THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE, SPIRAL CABLE, AND DIAGNOSTIC SENSOR. IT WAS OK FOR A YEAR, BUT THEN STARTED FLASHING AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK ON OCT. 12, 2007. THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG MODULE (AGAIN). THREE DAYS LATER, IT STARTED FLASHING AGAIN. I WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN UNTIL MARCH 21, 2008. AT THAT TIME, THEY REPLACED THE APIRAL CABLE (AGAIN) AND INFORMED ME THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE FIXED BUT, ACCORDING TO NISSAN PROTOCOL, THAT'S ALL THEY COULD DO. IF IT STARTS FLASHING AGAIN, THEY CAN REPLACE THE NEXT PART. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE NO MORE OF AN IDEA TODAY THAT MY VEHICLE IS SAFE THAN I HAVE EVER HAD. EVEN IF I TAKE IT IN A 5TH OR 6TH TIME, HOW CAN I BE SURE IT WILL WORK IF AND WHEN I NEED IT? IN THE VERY BEGINNING, THEY DID REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT, AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. I NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN NISSAN'S SAFETY PROTOCOLS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BRACKET BROKE. JUST CRACKED. IT APPEARS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. CONCERN ABOUT THE INTEGRITY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO FAILING MOUNTING BRACKETS. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WHILE CRASH TESTING THE NISSAN MURANO IF THEY ENCOUNTERED FAILURE A FAILURE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE MOUNTING BRACKETS. *KB WHILE NAVIGATING A LEFT TURN, THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT SUDDENLY TITLED TO THE LEFT CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO LEAN AGAINST THE DOOR AND BUMP HER HEAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. THE SUDDEN SHIFT ALSO CAUSED AN INJURY TO THE CONSUMERS LOWER BACK. THE BRACKET SHEARED DUE TO WHAT THE CONSUMER BELIEVED WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *JB

NISSAN '05 MURANO POWER DRIVER'S SEAT BROKEN SEVERAL TIME I TOOK IT THE FIRST TIME TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT FIX FOR $1200 THAN BROKE AGAIN LAST MONTH I REPORTED THE ISSUE WITH NISSAN BUT THEY WONT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I THINK IT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OFF. GOD FOR BET I GET TO AN ACCIDENT I COULD EASILY FLY OUT OF THE CAR. THIS IS A BAD SAFETY ISSUE AND NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I COULD HEAR WHAT COULD BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A COMBINATION CLICK AND SNAP. AT THE SAME TIME I FELT THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION (PICTURES AVAILABLE), I FOUND THAT A SUPPORTING BRACKET HAS SHEARED IN TWO PLACES. THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO BE VERY LOOSE. ONE OF THE POWER SEAT FUNCTIONS WILL CAUSE THE SEAT TO RAISE UP ONLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE ON EXTERIOR SIDE. ANGLE BRACKET WITH HINGE PIN SNAPPED IN (2) TWO PLACES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

NISSAN'S RECALL ON THE 2005 MURANO STATES THAT THE VEHICLE FALLS INTO A "FAILSAFE" CONDITION WHICH LIMITS VEHICLE SPEED. VERY SHORTLY AFTER THIS, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING...COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. MY VEHICLE HAD DONE THAT 4 TIMES. TWO TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. YOU HAVE ABOUT A MINUTE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPS. IN THAT MINUTE, THE VEHICLE IS RAPIDLY DECELERATES TO A CRAWL. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A TOYOTA SEQUOIA. DOMINION NISSAN "FIXED" MY VEHICLE AND ASSURED ME IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. A FEW MONTH LATER, AS I NEARED MY HOME, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED PURSUANT TO THE RECALL NOTICE. ON JANUARY 11, 2008 I LEFT WORK AND HEADED FOR THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 50MPH TO A CRAWL WITHIN ABOUT A MINUTE. DANGEROUSLY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL MOMENT LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, IN RUSH HOUR, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. I COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN KILLED IN SUCH A CIRCUMSTANCE. NISSAN "FIXED" THE CAR AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON JANUARY 19, 2008. THEY WANT TO "FIX" IT AGAIN. I SAID THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE VEHICLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT ON JAN 21 BY PHONE, JAN 27 BY EMAIL AND JAN 28 BY LETTER. NISSAN AND THE DEALER HAVE NOT RESPONDED. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH 56,735 MILES BEGAN MAKING A NOISE AT ACCELERATION. BROUGHT CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A NEW PULLEY ASM AND BRACKET-ID WAS NEEDED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRACKET FAILED CAUSING THE PULLEY ASM TO GO BAD. WHILE REPLACING THE PULLEY AND BRACKET, I REQUESTED THE FAN BELT BE CHANGED. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE BRACKET AND PULLEY FAILED SO SOON ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. *TR

THE IRON BRACKET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SEAT IF BROKEN. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE (NISSAN MURANO 2005) SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE THAT JUST 2 YEARS OF USE. I HAVE FURTHER PROOF WHERE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO HAD PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED I DIDN'T HAVE IT, AND IT IS NOT COVERED. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I HAVE CONTACT AN ATTORNEY FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 90,000 MILES - REQUIRES TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR $6,400 DUE TO FAILED SENSOR IN TRANSMISSION. MANY OTHERS ARE REPORTING SAME FAILURE WITH THEIR 2003 AND NEWER MURANOS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. *TR

MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PUT ON THE GAS. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC TODAY AND ALMOST GOT CLOBBERED BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE MY CAR WAS STALLING AND HESITATING 5 TO 10 SECONDS AT AT TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. I AM PARKING THE CAR UNTIL I CAN TRADE IT IN. I AM 1000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT FOR LESS THAN 6,000 DOLLARS! RIDICULOUS! *TR

I HEARD ABOUT THE BREAKING OF THE DRIVER SEAT, IT JUST HAPPENED TO ME ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. FIRST THE SEAT WOULD BE LOSE LIKE EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT FOR SOME TIME, THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK. *TR I AM ABOUT 250 PONDS AND THAT DOSE NOT SEAM TO BE EXCESSIVE ENOUGH TO BREAK THE BACK BOTTOM CROSS BAR UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. (I'M SURE THIS IS A EXPENSIVE REPAIR) THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS UNSUSPECTING OF THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR READING.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE, WHICH STARTLED ME AND CAUSED ME AND THE SEAT TO LEAN BACK AND TO THE LEFT. THE SEAT SEEMS TO BE ANCHORED ON THE RIGHT, BUT IS LOOSE ON THE BACK LEFT, SO IT NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH - ESPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING. I READ ONLINE OF MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS BUT THERE DOES NOT YET SEEM TO BE A RECALL. THERE IS, HOWEVER, A NISSAN TSB OUT ON THIS SUBJECT, #05-043C. *CN

TRANSMISSION SEIZED UP WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 81 AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I HAD NO POWER. ENGINE WAS WORKING FINE, BUT, AS I FOUND OUT LATER, MY CVT TRANSMISSION HAVE SELF DESTRUCT, DUE TO A CODE SENT FROM THE TCM MODULE. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ANY WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND NOT BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAYI45 NORTH I WANTED TO MOVE MY SEAT BACK THAT WAS WHEN MY SEAT BROKE; I HIT MY HEAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TOOK IT THE DEALER AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SERVICE A LOT OF MURANOS FOR THAT SAME REASON. COST 995.00 PLUS TAX. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE FIRST TIME IT THE ENGINE FAILED WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I STARTED THE CAR AND IT SHUTTERED A LITTLE, THEN STOPPED. I RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER WAITING A FEW SECONDS AND IT KEPT RUNNING JUST FINE. ON MY WAY HOME, I STOPPED OFF AT A LOCAL STORE TO RUN AN ERRAND. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AGAIN, IT SHUTTERED AND SHOOK, THEN SHUT OFF. I ATTEMPTED A SECOND TIME TO START THE CAR, BUT IT WOULDN'T "TURN OVER". THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BROWNS NISSAN OF ARLINGTON IN VIRGINIA, WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR STARTED EITHER, PROCEEDED TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE, AND THEN MIRACULOUSLY, IT STARTED UP AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG! THIS MORNING, MY HUSBAND WENT TO START THE CAR FOR ME BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN. WE PLAN TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP, AS THEY HAVE PROMISED TO INCUR ANY TOWING COSTS IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO THE SHOP. REGARDLESS, WE ARE TAKING IT BACK, EVEN IF WE CAN GET IT TO START. *TR

11/27/07 PROBLEM: AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. (TWO OCCURRENCES) DIAGNOSTIC CONDUCTED 11/25/07 AND 11/27/07. AT THE FIRST SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND I WAS ASKED TO BRING VEHICLE IN 11/27/07 A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC WAS CONDUCTED. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC CODES THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH COSTS EXCEEDING $1000. THE SEATS, THUS FAR APPEAR TO BE IN TACK. WHAT DOES SEAT CUSHION HAVE TO DO WITH AIRBAG OR ITS SENSOR? THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN YEARS 2 YEARS NEW WITH APPROX. 51,000 MILES. CONCERNS: VEHICLE SAFETY AND PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. I WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS COMMON IN MURANOS AND PATHFINDERS. IF SO, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL W/O COSTS TO CONSUMER. AFTER REVIEWING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED BY OTHER CONSUMERS, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT SAFETY CONCERNS EXISTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISKS OF INJURY TO A PASSENGER. IN ADDITION, THE ACTUAL CAUSE AND FINAL REPAIR RESOLUTION REMAINS UNKNOWN AND UNRESOLVED. (SEE OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINT NO. 10208537) IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG INDICATOR FAILED AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE AS THE OTHER. WHO IS TO SAY THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT MALFUNCTION IN CASE OF ACCIDENT? (PLEASE ALSO SEE CONSUMER COMPLAINT NO 10199625 & C.C. NO. 10196794) *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

DRIVER SEAT CAME DETACHED FROM CAR. *TR

SINCE LEASE OF VEHICLE IN JULY 2005, MANY PROBLEMS. MOST RECENT IS LACK OF ACCELERATION AT RANDOM TIMES. VEHICLE WAS FIXED AND IN LESS THAT A WEEK OF IT RETURNED TO ME, PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL CEASE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN OR OTHERS CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I AM AFRAID FOR MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AS WELL AS MY OWN WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED A NEW ENGINE WHEN IT WAS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A YEAR OLD, IT HAS HAD MANY OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH IT, HOWEVER THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY. *TR

IN ORDER TO FIX THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME OF THE VEHICLE, THE COST TO WOULD BE $900 PLUS DOLLARS. WHAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT - THIS SEAT MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR TO SERIOUS INJURY. WHY IS A SEAT FRAME BREAKING ON A VEHICLE WITH 48,500 MILES - NOT YET THREE YEARS OLD. I KEEP MY CARS FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS AND NO VEHICLE I EVER OWNED DID A SEAT JUST BREAK. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED ON NISSAN MURANOS. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR
