2006 Nissan Murano complaints

DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2006 MURANO CAME LOOSE FROM IT'S MOUNTING SATURDAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT IS LIKE THE SEAT CAME LOOSE FROM THE OUTER MOUNTING BRACKET. WHEN I TRANSFER MY WEIGHT TO MY LEFT, WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, I CAN FEEL THE SEAT TIP SIDEWAYS TO AN ALARMING DEGREE. WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN, I FEEL LIKE THE SEAT IS GOING TO ROLL RIGHT OUT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. VERY UNSETTLING. I TOOK THE CAR TODAY TO MY NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. TOLD ME A BRACKET HAD SNAPPED UNDER THE SEAT AND THAT THE "SEAT ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST: $1200 INCLUDING LABOR. THIS SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS ON SEVERAL LEVELS, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW IN THE MATERIALS USED TO HOLD THAT SEAT IN PLACE. I WAS ADVISED BY SERVICE WRITER NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR, AS THE SEAT COULD BREAK OFF AND ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE I AM DRIVING. FYI, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY OFF ROADING, EVER. I WEIGH 190 POUNDS, SO I'M NOT HUGE. I'M SHOCKED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM TODAY AND FOUND AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY OF DISGRUNTLED MURANO OWNERS WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. I THINK YOUR ORGANIZATION SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SEAT TRACK JUST BROKE AND THE SEAT WOBBLES WHEN I DRIVE. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR IN THE NISSAN MURANO 2006 S MODEL FALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING IN YOUR FACE. NISSAN WANTS OVER $400 TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO - LEFT HAND (DRIVER'S SIDE) SUN VISOR FAILURE TO STAY FLUSH WITH ROOF. THE PART FALLS INTO THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER CREATING A SAFETY CONCERN. THE FAILURE OCCURS CONSTANTLY. TO CORRECT THE ISSUE A $404 PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED FROM NISSAN ($404 FOR A SUN VISOR WITH A LIGHTED VANITY MIRROR, SERIOUSLY???) NISSAN SHOULD TAKE ACTION AND RECALL THIS PART BASED ON HUNDREDS OF OCCURRENCES BEING DISCUSSED ON FORUMS. *TR

THE SEAT IN MY NISSAN MURANO WHILE I WAS TURNING THE SEAT JUST BROKE AND SENT ME SHIFTING AND MOVING TO THE LEFT. NOW MY SEAT ROCKS AND DOESN'T FEEL SECURE WHEN TURNING. IF THAT WAS TO BREAK DURING AN ACCIDENT IT COULD SEND THE PERSON TO FLY OUT. *TR

THE SUN VISORS ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, FAIL TO STAY IN PLACE. THEY CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN AND ARE IN THE LINE OF VISION OF THE DRIVER. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER IS MOMENTARILY BLINDED AT THE LEAST. IT ALSO CAUSES THE DRIVER TO JUMP AND MAY HAVE AN END RESULT OF A JERKED WHEEL. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT THE $400 ESTIMATE FOR EACH SHADE SEEMS FAR TOO STEEP TO PAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR NISSAN MURANOS OF ALL YEARS. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME SNAPPED IN HALF. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE ACTUAL FRAME TO HAVE BROKEN. IT IS VERY LOOSE AND WOBBLY AND THEREFORE VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT WOULD NOT HOLD UP IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BREAK WITH NO REASON AS IT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE EXCESSIVE INJURY AS A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME SNAPPED COMPLETELY IN HALF. THIS IS THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE CAR AND SHOULD NOT BREAK WITH NO REASON. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. THE SEAT IS VERY LOOSE AND THEREFORE VERY UNSAFE. IT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE EXCESSIVE INJURY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED AS THERE IS NO SUPPORT TO KEEP THE SEAT FROM MOVING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISORS HAD FAILED AND WERE OBSTRUCTING THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR AT THEIR EXPENSE HOWEVER, ADVISED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SUN VISOR WOULD BE THE CONTACT'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THE DEALER'S STATEMENT AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,000. UPDAETD 10/27/10. *LJ

THIS COMPLAINT IS ON THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO, ON 5/29/10 MY GRANDMOTHER AND MYSELF GOT INTO THE VEH WHEN I TURNED THE VEH ON THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW NOTHING I GOT BACK IN AND CHECKED THE DASHBOARD TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND SAW NOTHING. AS WE WERE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE MY GRANDMOTHER STATED SHE FELT HEAT ON THE AREA OF THE ARMREST. I CAME INSIDE FOR NO MORE THAN 5 MINS AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE BETWEEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATS I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AS A RESULT OF THIS FIRE THE VEH WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE PICS OF THE AFTERMATH SHOWING THAT THE TRUNK HATCH MELTED AND THAT THE INTERIOR WAS NOTHING BUT THE FRAME. UP UNTIL 5/29/10 THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WHEN THERE IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE A GREEN WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN AND THE ONLY TIME THAT POPPED UP WAS WHEN THE TIRE ROTATION MAINTENANCE WAS DUE. THE ONLY MAINTENANCE THAT I HAVE HAD DONE ON THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASING ON 11/07/10 WAS AN OIL CHANGE, THE OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WAS FOR 4/17/10 FOR A TIRE ROTATION WHICH WAS NOT DONE BECAUSE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PUT DOWN FOR AN OIL CHANGE WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED, I HAD SCHEDULED THIS APPT ONLINE AND IT WAS ALSO CONFIRMED ONLINE WHAT I WAS COMING IN TO HAVE DONE. THE MECHANIC DID AN OIL CHANGE AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM I WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE HE TOLD ME THE 2 TIRES WOULD SOON NEED TO BE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE THEREFORE THERE WAS NO NEE

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL FALL DOWN TO COMPLETELY DOWN POSITION, COMPLETELY BLOCKING VIEW OF ROAD. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN VISOR IS IN THE COMPLETELY UP POSITION. A PREVIOUS OWNER HAS REPLACED THE VISOR FOR THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE. *TR

SUN VISOR REPEATEDLY FALLS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS FACE - MINIMIZING VISIBILITY AND REQUIRING YOU TO TAKE YOUR HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. DANGEROUS AT TIMES - SINCE IT HAPPENS ALMOST CONSTANTLY. *TR

OPERATING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO ON THE ROADWAY WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN POP AND SNAP NOISE FROM BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THE DRIVERS SEAT KNOW IS LOOSE AND TILTS TO THE LEFT AND IS VERY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING. I WENT TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT RAIL HAD BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AT A COST OF $1200.. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I LEARNED THAT I AM AMONG MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BROKEN SEAT RAIL SYNDROME. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE BRACKET WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A CORRECTIVE NOTICE ISSUED TO NISSAN OF MA. *TR

SIMILAR COMPLAINT RE: DRIVER'S SEAT ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR USED (1 MONTH AGO). THE SEAT, AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS FOR THE DRIVER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND HAS BEEN OPERATING WITHOUT CONCERN. TODAY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAME OFF TRACK WITHOUT WARNING, NOW LEANS WAY TO THE LEFT AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I DROVE IT HOME AND WILL TAKE IT TO DEALER TOMORROW. I DID CALL NISSAN RE: RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE DESPITE THE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I INTEND TO DO WHAT I CAN TO ENSURE IT IS ADDRESSED BY NISSAN AND THE REPAIRS MADE. *TR

THIS IS SO PATHETIC ENGINEERING DESIGN AND NISSAN DIDN'T STEP UP FOR A RECALL. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST HAD AN INCIDENCE. SHOULD WE LOOK AT IT AS SAFETY CIRCUMSTANCES AND MAKE NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE BUILT. THANKS AND WAIT FOR YOUR RESPOND. YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT[XXX] *TR

DRIVER SEAT ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPPED AND SHIFTED ABRUPTLY CAUSING ME TO TEMPORARILY LOOSE CONTROL AND CROSS THE CENTER LINE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY 15 IN VIRGINIA. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND GET BACK INTO MY LANE BEFORE A COLLISION. SUBSEQUENT EXAMINATION OF THE SEAT REVEALED A HINGED CONNECTING MEMBER AT THE REAR LEFT SECTION OF THE SEAT FRAME OF THE 10 WAY POWER DRIVER'S SEAT HAD FAILED CAUSING THE SEAT TO FALL AND SHIFT TO THE LEFT. FREDERICK NISSAN IDENTIFIED PART NUMBER 87450-CA66A AS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE SEAT. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO NISSAN AMERICA AND WAS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAVE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY BOTH VISORS HAVE LOST THEIR TENSION CAUSING THEM TO FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING, BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. ALSO THEY WILL NOT STAY WHERE THEY ARE PLACED, SO THEY DO NOT SERVE THE PURPOSE OF BLOCKING THE SUN MAKING THEM MORE HAZARDOUS. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH NISSAN CORPORATE (FILE NUMBER [XXX]) IN MARCH OF 2010, BUT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*TR

I AM WRITING ABOUT THE SUN VISOR ON MY NISSAN MURANO 2006. IT DROP AND COVERS MY EYES AND ITS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF POSTS ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THESE. ITS REALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V169000 (ENGINE: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). FOLLOWING REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD CONFIRM THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ACCORDINGLY UPON FURTHER INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,950.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2006 NISSAN MURANO S AWD VIN # [XXX]. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE END OF MARCH 2010. I SCHEDULED MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT IN THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. PRIOR TO THE APPT, I NOTICED A MAJOR DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE 2 FUEL INSTRUMENT GAUGES. WHENEVER FUEL WOULD BE DOWN TO AROUND A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS, ONE OR BOTH OF THE GAUGES/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WOULD SHOW ANY WHERE FROM 1/2 A TANK OF FUEL TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE IN APRIL, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT, AND THAT MY AFTER MARKET WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM THAT DEALERSHIP, DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR NEEDED. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE 'FUEL SENDER'(FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT). I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR(S) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WITH PARTS AND LABOR, THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST WOULD BE $450. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM MYSELF, I FOUND THAT NISSAN IS HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE IN OTHER MODELS THE SAME MODEL YEAR, 2006. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND FOUND THAT NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE ARE BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME. I FEEL THAT GIVEN THE LARGE-SCALE RECALL (540,000 VEHICLES MOSTLY IN THE US) IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL OTHER MODELS, SAME YEAR, SAME PROBLEM, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MY MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I HAVE NOT AS OF YET RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE ROADWAY BUT THAT IS MAINLY DUE TO CONSTANT

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO WON'T STAY UP ANYMORE. LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT JUST DROPS DOWN. ON OCCASION, IT WILL STAY FOR A SHORT WHILE, ONLY TO DROP INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT WHILE DRIVING!! DEFINITELY SAFETY HAZARD THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IS LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. IT APPEARS THAT ONE OF THE BRACKETS BROKE UNDERNEATH. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND THEN NISSAN CORPORATE SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF MURANO OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A REALLY SAFETY CONCERN BUT I FEAR THAT NISSAN WILL ONLY DO SOMETHING ONCE SOMEONE DIES FROM IT. *TR

THE SUN VISOR CONTINUES TO FALL INTO THE DRIVERS LINE OF VISION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VISOR FALLS ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM THE DRIVER AND WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT AND SUN VISOR. MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAS HAD TWO PARTS FAIL THAT I BELIEVE ARE A SAFETY CONCERN AND WARRANT A RECALL. THE 1ST PART IS THE DRIVERS SEAT. I'M NOT A LARGE PERSON BUT THE LEFT SIDE SEAT BRACKET BROKE AND NOW MY SEAT ROCKS LEFT AND RIGHT. I CAN'T RAISE THE SEAT UP AND DOWN BECAUSE ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE WORKS. THE SEAT ALSO BOUNCES UP AND DOWN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MURANO AND NISSAN'S EXCUSE IS "WEAR AND TEAR." SERIOUSLY??? NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SEAT FOR $1000 +. THE SECOND PART THAT HAS FAILED IS THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR. WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP, THE SUN VISOR SWIVELS DOWN AND TOTALLY BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VIEW OUT THE WINDOW. THIS IS NOT SAFE. NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SUN-VISOR FOR $350. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH 29K MILES. WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS I FELT A POP IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEARD A METALLIC SOUND FROM UNDER THE SEAT. FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS FELT UNSTABLE AND WOULD MOVE FREELY DURING TURNS AND NORMAL ACCELERATION/BRAKING. THIS INCIDENT SEEMS COMMON BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH AND IS REFERRED TO AS A BACK-LEFT LEANING PROBLEM. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT NO RECALL. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON OUR 2005 NISSAN MURANO NO LONGER STAYS IN POSITION. THE VISOR WILL JUST 'FLOP' DOWN WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR ANY OTHER ABRUPT MANEUVER. WHEN THE VISOR FLOPS DOWN THE VISION OF THE DRIVER BECOMES IMPAIRED. THE DRIVER CAN PUSH THE VISOR BACK UP INTO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION BUT THE VISOR WILL THEN JUST FLOP DOWN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE VISOR UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO PAY BETWEEN $400-$460 FOR A NEW VISOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT WOBBLES AND IS UNSTABLE WHEN RAISED TO COMFORTABLE DRIVING HEIGHT, DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ATTACHED IN BACK LEFT CORNER. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL ONLY STAY IN THE FULL UP POSITION OR FULLY DOWN. TO DRIVE IN THE SUN, I HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND. DEALER HAS REPLACED A CLIP, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. THEY SAY THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE ($400 +) THE SUNVISOR. *TR

THE PROBLEM IS TRYING TO PUT GAS INTO MY VEHICLE THE NOZZLE ON THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OF AND SPIT GAS BACK TODAY I HAD A PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY HUSBAND REPEATEDLY HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALER AND WITH THE NISSAN COMPANY DIRECTLY. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR, MODEL AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM TOO. YOU HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE NOZZLE ON AND MOVING IT AROUND IN THE GAS TANK TRYING TO FIND A POSITION WHERE THE NOZZLE WON'T SHUT OFF OR SPIT THE GAS BACK AT YOU. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME WHERE I HAD TO COME HOME AND CHANGE MY CLOTHES, GAS ON MY SHOES, AND PANTS, HANDS, ARMS I CONSIDER THIS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE A CIGARETTE LIT AT THE PUMPS AS ILLEGAL AS IT MAY BE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS SO IS NOT THE PUMP AT ONE CERTAIN STATION. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO, AFTER DRIVING 85 MILES CONTINUOUSLY ON THE INTERSTATE, WHEN I SLOWED TO MERGE TO ANOTHER INTERSTATE LOST ALL POWER WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I WAS STOPPED WITH NO EMERGENCY LANE IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA AND WAS LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED THE OTHERS MERGING AND TRAVELING BY AT 70 M.P.H.! IT EVENTUALLY GAVE ME SOME POWER WHICH I USED TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE AND CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN DES MOINES. I WAS ABLE TO "LIMP" THE CAR THE 20 MINUTE DRIVE ON BACK ROADS IN DES MOINES WHERE WITHIN AN HOUR, THE DEALER TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER NISSAN EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE A FAILED ONE, IT STRIKES ME THAT A REPAIR/RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ON THESE BEFORE AN INCIDENT LIKE MINE OCCURS. I HAD THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR, WITH OTHER CARS RACING BY ME AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR..BUT OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY! *TR

SUN VISOR DROPS FROM DESIRED POSITION ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO LINE OF SIGHT ON IT'S OWN.

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND IN THE FALL OF 2009, STARTED EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH MY SUNVISOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT JUST MINE, BUT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING, THE SUNVISOR RANDOMLY FALLS DOWN, SOMETIMES HITTING ME (OR MY FAMILY) IN THE HEAD. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALWAYS OCCURS ON ROUGH ROAD SURFACES BUT ALSO HAPPENS ON SMOOTH HIGHWAYS, AND AT RANDOM TIMES, OFTEN STARTLING ME OR WHOEVER IS DRIVING MY CAR. WE HAVE PURCHASED & REPLACED THE CLIPS THAT HOLDS THE VISOR BUT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE VISOR JUST DOES NOT LOCK IN THE "UP" POSITION. WE HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IS A $350-400 REPLACEMENT PART. OTHER OWNERS HAVE INDICATED THEY WILL NOT COVER IS UNDER THEIR "GOODWILL PROGRAM" EITHER.
