2006 Nissan Murano complaints

2006 NISSAN MURANO SL. 37,965 MILES , POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE FAILED, LEAKS OUT POWER STEERING FLUID. VERY COMMON PROBLEM, YET NOT RECALLED BY NISSAN. THIS REPAIR IS OVER $500.00. DEALERSHIPS HAVE STOCK PILED THE HOSES AFTER SO MANY PROBLEMS. THIS CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE STEERING OR CAUSE A FIRE. THIS NEEDS TO BE SERIOUSLY LOOKED INTO. *TR

THE DRIVERS' SEAT IN OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO CAME UN-WELDED. THIS FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO ANY OUT OF THE ORDINARY USE AS THIS VEHICLE IS A DAILY DRIVER. WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 80K MILES ON THE CAR WHEN SUDDENLY OUR SEAT STARTED TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH IN A CADDY CORNER MOTION. DEALER SAID HE HAD SEEN ABOUT 60 OF THESE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND OFFERED NO COMPLIMENTARY PART FOR REPLACEMENT. WE PURCHASED THE 100K MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO WE ONLY HAD TO PAY $50.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, A SEAT COMING UN-WELDED? MAKES MY STOMACH SICK TO KNOW THAT THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE AS WELL AS THE THOUGHT OF WHAT IF... PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND MAKE NISSAN CORRECT THIS ISSUE WITH AN OTHERWISE TROUBLE-FREE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND TODAY AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY FREEWAY (WITH 2 OF MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR) , MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT CAME LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR THAT HAS ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT. I REVIEWED YOUR WEBSITE AND SAW HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I NOTICED THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. IS THIS BECAUSE THERE WERE NO DEATHS OR INJURIES? I WOULD HOPE A RECALL IS ISSUED BEFORE SOMEBODY HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. ARE YOU ANYWHERE NEAR A RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

SUN VISOR FALLS INTO VIEW. INTERNAL MECHANISM WORE OUT BEFORE 90,000 MILES. SAFETY HAZARD AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

DRIVER VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE KEEPING SUN OUT OF DRIVER'S EYES. IT EITHER DOES NOT HOLD IN PLACE AT ALL OR DROPS SUDDENLY TO BLOCK VISIBILITY. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILS TO STAY IN THE UP(RETRACTED) POSITION EFFECTIVELY RESTRICTING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER WHEN IT FALLS INTO THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THIS WILL OCCUR SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AND IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

SUNVISOR DROOPING THAN FALLS IN LINE OF VISION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 MURANO S MODEL WHEN SUDDENLY THE DRIVER SEAT LURCHED DOWN TO THE LEFT. IT HAD A BROKEN WELD IN THE SEAT FRAME. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000. I WOULD HOPE THAT A NEW INVESTIGATION CAN BE INITIATE. THAT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE "SUN VISOR" HAS FAILED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WHILE DRIVING THE VISOR DROPS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER! I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE ON ALL NISSAN MURANO'S AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WOULD INDEPENDENTLY SHIFT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE RE-WELDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE LEFT REAR SEAT HINGE BROKE IN TWO PIECES. NO EXTREME WEAR OR TEAR DONE TO THIS SEAT, AND THE METAL BROKE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PROBLEM ARE OBVIOUS, IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT OR SIMPLY NORMAL DRIVING, THE SAFETY OF THE SEAT IS COMPROMISED. NISSAN CHARGES AROUND $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. SEAT BRACKETS SHOULD NEVER FAIL, ESPECIALLY NOT IN THE NUMBERS BEING REPORTED. *TR

AS I DROVE MY NISSAN MURANO OFF THE LOT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULDN'T STAY IN PLACE. KEPT FALLING BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & THEY SAY THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY & THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR $400 FOR A NEW ONE. I DID GET AN USED ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE & IT TOO DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP, EITHER UP AGAINST THE HEADLINER OR AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD. BOTH SIDES HAVE NOW FAILED TO STAY UP. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS STARTLING TO THE DRIVER. WHEN IT DROPS DOWN IT ALSO IMPAIRS VISION. IT CAN DROP 2-3 TIMES WITHIN A 2 MILE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. IT WILL NOT STAY IN IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BANKSTON NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN LEWISVILLE, TX, AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED "COSMETIC" AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I THEN CALLED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YRS. OLD AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR WOULD BE $458.00. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND A LESS EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT VISOR I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, FROM AT LEAST AS FAR BACK AS 2004. THE VISOR HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. THIS SUN VISOR, IN IT'S PRESENT CONDITION, CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING AN AUTO ACCIDENT. *TR

WE ALSO HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, MY DAUGHTER ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT IN ORLANDO, FL WHERE IS SHE IS A STUDENT!!!. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS EXTREMELY STARTLING TO THE DRIVER WHEN IT DROPS DOWN AND IMPAIRS VISION. ALSO IT CAN DROP 2-3 TIMES WITHIN A 2 MILE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. IT WILL NOT STAY IN IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION. WE ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN HERE IN TAMPA, FL AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED "COSMETIC" AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTYAND ALSO CALLED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC THING, IT'S A TRUE DANGER! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FROM NISSAN TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING, SOMEONE GETTING KILLED!!! TO REPLACE THE STUPID SUN VISOR WOULD BE OVER $400.00, NISSAN SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE FOLKS A DISCOUNT WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL, IT WOULD BE GOODWILL AND MAKE A LOT OF HAPPY, SAFE CUSTOMERS! *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS WHILE DRIVING. CAN CAUSE OBSTRUCTION OF VISION. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR COMPULSIVELY LOWERS TO THE LOWEST SETTING CAUSING GROSS AND UNEXPECTED VISION OBSTRUCTION. IT WILL NOT STAY IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN COMPLETELY UP OR COMPLETELY DOWN. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN WHILE DRIVING, WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE CORRECT POSITION. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE ELECTRIC SEATS ADJUSTMENT/TRACK BROKEN...ONLY 38,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND I WENT INTO MY CAR AND WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO WORK, I SAT IN MY CAR AND WHEN I PUT ON MY SEAT BELT I FELT THAT MY DRIVER SEAT SHIFT TO THE LEFT AND WAS VERY LOOSE AND CONSTANTLY MOVING AS I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT IS BROKEN AND THAT IT COST ABOUT $500 FOR THE PARTS ALONE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SEAT HA BROKEN 2X NOW. LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT. CAN WE NOT GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

POWER SEAT SUPPORT BRACKET ON NISSAN 2006 MURANO BROKEN. WHEN DRIVER SETS IN SEAT THE SEAT TILTS TO THE LEFT. BRACKET LOOKS VERY LIGHT DUTY FOR A AVERAGE DRIVER. *TR

ADD ME TO THE LIST OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WHO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME/BRACKET/ANCHOR/RAIL THAT BREAKS OR FAILS. OUR VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE AND INITIALLY WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER THE LOCAL NISSAN SHOP GURU INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED OF COURSE DOES NOT COVER THIS EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE SEAT ON THE BROCHURE. LIKE OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD $1000+ TO REPAIR. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WOULD RE-OPEN THEIR INVESTIGATION AS IT WAS CLOSED ON 7/2/09 AND IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE TAKES A COUPLE OF YEARS TO MANIFEST. OUT OF THE 108 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED 23 WERE PRIOR TO THE DATE THE INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED 11/18/08, SO 85 WERE AFTER THAT OR MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. MY HOPE IS THAT THEY RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION DUE TO ONGOING COMPLAINTS RELATING TO AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. ISN'T THE OBJECTIVE TO IDENTIFY AN ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND HAVE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY NISSAN IS NOT MOTIVATED DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY SOLD OVER 500,000 1ST GENERATION MURANOS(IT IS NOT JUST THE 2006 MODEL THAT HAS THESE ISSUES). SO IF IT IS $1,000 PER REPAIR ON A RECALL AT 500,000 UNITS THE TOTAL PRICE TAG IS 500 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS FIX. WELL NO WONDER WHY THIS HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. THAT IS REALLY TH

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE "SUN VISOR" HAS FAILED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WHILE DRIVING THE VISOR DROPS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER! I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE ON ALL NISSAN MURANO'S AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND "SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM" DUE TO THE SERIOUS SAFETY RISK! THEY WERE SYMPATHETIC TO THE ISSUE BUT UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE VISOR WITHOUT CHARGE FOR THE PART AND LABOR! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS VISOR ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM! SINCE SEEING THE DEALER MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE VISOR DROPPING INTO HER LINE OF SIGHT CAUSING HER TO HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT ALWAYS DROPS ALL THE WAY DOWN. SUN VISOR CANNOT BE ADJUSTED THE WAY YOU WANTED IT. DEALER CHARGE $350.00 TO REPLACE THE PART IN ORDER TO FIX IT AND IN THINK IT IS A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT. A LOT OF MURANOS OWNER ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ON THEIR VEHICLES AND I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND CORRECTED BY NISSAN. *TR

DRIVERS SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN IN YOUR FACE, CAN'T SEE THE ROAD. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE FLIP-DOWN SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT WILL COME DOWN BY ITSELF AND BLOCK THE VISION OF THE DRIVER. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CONDITION IN ONLINE BLOGS. NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR ON MURANO SUDDENLY DOES NOT STAY FULLY UP OR FULLY DOWN. MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. COULD CAUSE HEAD INJURIES IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY DROPS, BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. FOR ME IT COMPLETELY OBSCURES MY VIEW. THIS WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIR (REPAIR COSTS IN EXCESS OF $435 QUOTED TO ME). I HAVE READ PAGES AND PAGES OR ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2003 MODEL YEAR THROUGH 2006. NISSAN DOES NOT OFFER A REPAIR OR RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

1. NISSAN MURANO'S SUN VISORS SLOWLY BREAK AND FALL DOWN AND WONT STAY UP. 2. IT WILL NOT STAY UP NOW CAUSING MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. 3. PART IS WAY TO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO. PROBLEM BEGAN ~40K MILEAGE. DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN UP POSITION FOR MORE THAN FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING, LESS IF ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE VISOR CANNOT BE SET TO HOLD ANY POSITION OTHER THAN VERTICAL AT 90 DEGREES, CAUSING SEVERE DIMINISHED VISIBILITY. VISOR WILL DROP WITHOUT WARNING CREATING HAZARD. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $400. HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE USED PART FOR REPLACEMENT. VISOR TEMPORARILY HELD IN PLACE WITH PACKAGE SEALING TAPE, BUT THIS TOO IS A HAZARD IF NEEDING TO USE VISOR TO SHIELD DIRECT SUNLIGHT. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOUND ON INTERNET SEARCH. APPEARS TO BE FAULTY PART FROM NISSAN. SEVERE ACCIDENTS ARE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

FRONT RIGHT BEARING FAILURE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. RECENTLY, MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT HOLD A DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT. IT STAYS (FOR NOW) IN THE UPWARD POSITION BUT WHEN I PUT IT DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN IT DANGLES, IS THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT. I HAVE TO USE ONE HAND TO HOLD IT IN THE POSITION NEEDED TO BLOCK THE SUN. IT IS EITHER ALL THE WAY UP OR ALL THE WAY DOWN, NO POSITION IN BETWEEN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR TWO REASONS. TAKING ONE HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND NOT USING THE VISOR WHEN I HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL IS BLINDING. IF A CAR, PERSON OR ANIMAL SHOULD MOVE INTO MY PATH I WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THEM WITHOUT THE VISOR DOWN. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DRIVING UP THE HILL HOME IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. IT IS GETTING WEAKER WHEN HOLDING THE UPWARD POSITION, IT WILL GET TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. WHEN I ASKED THE NISSAN DEALER ABOUT REPAIRING IT I WAS GIVEN A PRICE OF $450.00 JUST FOR THE PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR AND FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARDS. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO SL.THE DRIVE SEAT FRAME I S BROKEN. WHENEVER I TAKE A TURN THE SEAT LIFTS AS THE FRAME IS BROKEN. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN DEALER FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE PARTS WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. BUT ITS BEEN 2+ WEEKS ,THEY STILL WAITING ON PARTS. I DON'T THINK THEY GOING TO REPLACE IT. AS THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON AMONG ALL MURANOS ,I AM FILING THIS COMPLAIN. *TR

DRIVING MY 2006 MURANO WHEN SUDDENLY THE SEAT LURCHED DOWN TO THE LEFT AFTER A LOUD SNAP. DEALER SAID MY SEAT FRAME HAD A BROKEN WELD, AND A NEEDED REPLACEMENT WOULD COST $1,150.00., EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN. I PAID FOR THE SEAT, AND IMMEDIATELY DECIDED TO SELL THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD 63,000 MILES AND IT WAS ALWAYS WELL MAINTAINED. I AM NOT AN USUALLY LARGE MAN, 225 LBS. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS FAILURE, AND REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR POOR SAFETY DESIGN. *TR

SUN VISOR ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO BECAME LOOSE AND NOW CONSTANTLY DROPS DOWN INTO FIELD OF VIEW WHILE DRIVING AT SLIGHT BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR HITS A SMALL BUMP, AND PARTIALLY OBSCURES VISION. *TR

SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN INTO LINE OF VISION WHEN CAR HITS A BUMP AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR TALL DRIVERS TO SEE THE ROAD. VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS RESULTS IN HAVING TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE OTHER HAND IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. DEALER WANTS $500 TO REPLACE VISOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2003-2007 MURANOS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO WHEN SHE SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. THE DRIVER SEAT, WHICH WOBBLES, LEANED FREELY TO THE RIGHT AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND GO INTO THE DITCH. LUCKILY, SHE WAS NOT INJURED AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN OUT OF THE DITCH. THIS ISSUE WITH THE SEAT HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED AS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. THE SEAT NOW CONSTANTLY WOBBLES AND LEANS FORWARD AND TO THE RIGHT WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAID A NEW BRACKET WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED, WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1000. *TR

POWER DRIVERS SEAT ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAS FAILED. SEAT STUCK IN TWISTED POSITION WHEN ENGINE STARTED CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE IF DRIVEN. CAR CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN WITH SEAT IN THIS POSITION. SEAT BRACKET WITH MOTORS WAS REPLACED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. *TR

2006 MURANO SUN VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE SUDDENLY FALLS AND BLOCKS VISION. NOT A RETAINING CLIP ISSUE BUT AN INTERNAL FRICTION FAILURE TO THE UP / DOWN PIVOT SYSTEM. *TR
