2006 Nissan Murano complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. ON MARCH 26, 2010, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE WHEN MOVING TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN MOVING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT VOLUNTARILY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLANT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,040. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

MY 2006 MURANO DRIVER SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. IT LEANS VERY FAR TO THE LEFT WHEN TURNING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT A SEAT WOULD STAY ATTACHED TO A VEHICLE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO FIX THE SEAT. *CN

I AM A 5'9" WOMAN WHO WEIGHS 150 POUNDS. MY NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT TIPS WHENEVER I MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT AND POSSIBLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME $1000 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED DUE TO A THIN WELD THAT BROKE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN WOULD BE WILLING TO CORRECT WITH LOW OR NO COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT TO THE CONSUMER.

PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPS DOWN CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WHENEVER I HIT ANY TYPE OF BUMP OR SWERVE IN THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER ONE ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FAILURE OCCURS EVERY DAY, SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VISORS. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $400+ TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY NISSAN A LONG TIME AGO.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE ISSUE ORIGINATED WITH THE AIR INTAKE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN RECALLED LAST YEAR. PRIOR TO THE RECALL I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN BECAUSE OF THE POOR PERFORMANCE AND NEAR ACCIDENTS THAT THE AIR INTAKE ISSUE CAUSED. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO TOWN NORTH NISSAN TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS MY MOTOR MOUNTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THAT WOULD FIX THE AIR INTAKE ISSUE. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THE AIR INTAKE AND FIXING THE MOTOR MOUNTS DID NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THE AIR INTAKE RECALL CAME OUT I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED. WHILE PICKING UP MY CAR I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT MY FRUSTRATION ON HAVING TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH NEVER RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON THE MURANO WERE WEAK (NOT JUST MINE BUT ACROSS THE BOARD) AND THEY FELT THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CARS IN MY LIFE AND HAVE PUT OVER 100,000 MILES ON SEVERAL OF THE CARS THAT I OWNED AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS. IF NISSAN KNOWS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE WEAK ON THIS CAR THEN WHY HAS THAT PART NOT BEEN RECALLED?

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR - NISSAN MURANO 2006 VISOR FALLS DOWN CONSTANTLY BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW MANY, MANY PEOPLE ON THE WEB ARE COMPLAINNG OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WOULD READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. PRIOR TO THE RECENT FAILURE, THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V003000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STORAGE, TANK ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CURRENT FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 36,000.

I BOUGHT A 206 NISSAN MURANO FROM A DEALER. THE CAR WAS CERTIFIED CLEAN BY MANHEIM THE AUCTION HOUSE.THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION BY STEVENS CREEK NISSAN WWW.STEVENSCREEKNISSAN.COM. IT WAS CERTIFIED CLEAN WITH ABSOLUTELY _NO_LEAKS_. THEN 30 DAYS LATER I HEAR A WHINE WITHIN THE CAR AND I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO INSPECT. IT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A LEAK IN POWER STEERING FLUID HOSE. HOW COME 30 DAYS THERE WASN'T ANY REPORTED LEAK , BUT NOW THERE IS A LEAK THAT HAD DRAINED A LOT OF POWER STEERING FLUID AND THAT CAUSED THE HIGH PITCH WHINE. THE MECHANIC ADDED SOME POWER STEERING FLUID AND THE SOUND STOPPED. WHEN I CHECKED WITH A KRAGEN STORE WHERE I WENT TO BUY POWER STEERING FLUID , THEY SAID THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN. I CHECKED THE NEWS GROUPS ONLINE AND I FIND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT NISSAN POWER STEERING HOSE.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 9/2/09. I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY POWER STEERING FLUID WAS DRAINED WHEN I CHECKED UNDER MY HOOD ON VACATION. IF I DIDN'T HAPPEN TO SEE IT, I COULD HAVE HAD A MAJO

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT ANCHOR NO LONGER WORKS. THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY WIFE'S 2006 MURANO IS TILTED TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND ROCKS AND APPEARS "LOOSE" WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. IN MY OPINION THERE IS THE POTENTIAL DANGER THAT THE SUIT CAN MORE EASILY BECOME FULLY UNANCHORED IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED A COLLISION. A. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT IN THAT AN OBVIOUS LAYER OF DRIVER PROTECTION HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISED. I DO NOT FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME INJURED BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED TO FIX THE DEFECT AND URGE THE NHTSA TO MANDATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

NISSAN MURANO 2006, I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL RECALLS IN THE PAST. I TOOK MY SUV TO THE DEALER IN JAN 2010 FOR A POWER STEERING LEAK. THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME THE HOSE HAD TO BE REPAIRED, SO I GOT IT REPAIRED. A MONTH LATER I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEB 2010. NOW NISSAN SERVICE IS BLAMING ON THE POWER STEERING RACK, AND IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED FOR $2000.00. I WENT ON LINE TO SEE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND FOUND OTHERS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE. I THINK IT'S VERY UNJUST FOR NISSAN TO CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO THE EXTREME FOR THEIR DEFECTS. PLEASE HELP! I AM UNEMPLOYED FOR 12 MONTHS, AND I NEED MY VEHICLE. *TR

NISSAN DRIVER SEAT FAILED. COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM BASE. NISSAN SERVICE DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED LIFT LINK ASSEMBLY AND WOULD COST AROUND $600 FOR REPAIR. I PAID FOR THE EXTENDED IN MY NISSAN MURANO AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) VIN [XXX] 2006 MURANO SUN VISOR DRIVER SIDE HAS BEEN HANGING, WON'T STAY UP OR DOWN. ALSO, THE DRIVER SEAT IS ROCKING WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT'S TILTED ON THE LEFT SIDE. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY DROPS IN FRONT OF DRIVER'S FIELD OF VIEW. THE VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE UP OR "STOWED" POSITION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. VISIBILITY IS 0% AND ONLY REMEDY IS TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND AND STEER VEHICLE WITH THE OTHER. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION AND CAUSES DIFFICULTY SEEING. I EITHER HAVE TO "HUNCH DOWN" TO SEE WELL OR HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO SEAT FALLS DOWN AND BRACKETS BREAK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAD MY NISSAN MURANO POWER SET FAIL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE BOTTOM SECTION THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE SEAT RAIL FAILED AND CAUSED ME TO GO OUT OF CONTROL WHEN THE SEAT LEANED BACKWARDS I JERKED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY VERY BIG PROBLEM AND I ALMOST ENDED UP IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE DRIVER SEAT MADE A SNAP SOUND, AND SUDDENLY LEANED TO ONE SIDE. IT TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS TO REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AND GET CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE CHECKED WITH NISSAN, AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS GOING TO COST $1,000.00 TO FIX THE SEAT, AND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE WITH THIS ISSUE AS WELL, AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I HAVE ALSO DONE ONLINE RESEARCH, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE YEARS OF THESE MURANOS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2006 MURANO IS DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN'S GOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NISSAN CORP IS CLAIMING THIS SHOULDN'T BE COVERED. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED; CONSIDERING IT BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VIEW WHILE DRIVING WHEN IT ABRUPTLY COMES DOWN NISSAN SHOULD TAKE GREAT CARE IN TAKING CARE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT SINCE 2008 WHEN IT STARTED WITH A SMALL RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE MECHANISM BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM WAS THE VISOR AND TRIED TO POINT TO THE PLASTIC CLIP HOLDING THE VISOR IN PLACE. IT WOULD TRAGIC FOR SOMEONE TO EXPERIENCE AND ACCIDENT FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT WOULD BE GREAT IF SOMEONE WOULD PUT THIS ISSUE UNDER REVIEW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

ON A VERY FOGGY MORNING, WAS DOING ABOUT 45 M.P.H.,REALIZED I WAS COMING UP ON A STOP SIGN IN MY 2006 MURANO. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, LIKE USUAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AFTER NORMAL PRESSURE DIDN'T WORK. MY CAR FAILED TO STOP AFTER I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AND FAST AS I COULD. I SLID I THINK THE BRAKES LOCKED. I SKIDDED THROUGH A STOP SIGN, RESULTING IN BEING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. THE OTHER DRIVER'S CAR WAS MOST LIKELY DESTROYED, ALSO. MAYBE, I IMAGINED IT, BUT IT FELT LIKE MY CAR SPED UP, IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKES FAILING. I HAVE WHIPLASH INJURIES AND GOT BADLY BRUISED. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I HAVE (OR HAD) AN EXCELLENT DRIVING RECORD. TWO DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY MIGHT BE FADING. THERE WAS NO SCRUBBING NOISE, OR THE HIGH PITCHED WHINE WORN- OUT BRAKES HAVE. THE CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 54000 MILES ON IT , AND WAS "MY BABY", SO I TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT. ANOTHER REASON IT WAS WELL-MAINTAINED. I HAVE 12 INCH RODS IN MY SPINE, AND DEPEND ON MY VEHICLE TO PROTECT ME. YES, THE AIRBAGS, ETC. WORKED, BUT I BELIEVE THE BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING THE WRECK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN A STATIC POSITION. VISOR CAN EITHER BE LOCKED UPRIGHT, OR IF UNLOCKED AND IN USE, FALLS STRAIGHT DOWN BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE VISOR FALLS EVERY TIME I USE IT, AND I CAN NOT GET IT TO STAY PUT. I WAS TOLD THE VISOR WAS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $400 TO REPLACE. I SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO IS DEFECTIVE AND IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. IT HAS NOT BEEN OVERUSED, HOWEVER, THE VISOR FALLS ABRUPTLY AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISION MOMENTARILY. IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, HOWEVER, DRIVING WITH IT AS IT IS CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DURING THAT MOMENT OF OBSTRUCTED VISION WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT TIME. THE DEALER OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY VEHICLE DOES NOT COVER THIS COST AND THE REPLACEMENT COST IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. *TR

HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC LINE ASSOCIATED WITH POWER STEERING PUMP IS LEAKING. SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALER A NOISE UNDER THE HOOD BEGAN. I COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING AT A FITTING. HE QUOTED THE REPAIR PRICE TO BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. I FILLED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE ONLINE THROUGH NISSAN FORUMS AND THROUGH AUTO FAULT AWARENESS WEBSITES. PART NUMBER 49720-CB60A. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP , IT WILL DROP DOWN AT WILL AND BLOCK DRIVERS VIEW. A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS ON SEVERAL YEAR MODELS OF NISSANS, ESPECIALLY THE MURANO. DEALER WANTS 450.00 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

DRIVER SEAT BROKEN: THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE AT THE BASE ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE SEAT NOW LEANS TO THE LEFT AND IS LOOSE. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO BROKEN SEAT BRACKET. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN FOR A SEAT CLICKING SEVERAL TIMES DURING 3/36 WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, SEVERAL DAYS AGO THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS WAS A BIG SURPRISE, I SWERVED SEVERAL TIMES AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY, IT WOULD COST 800 TO FIX I CONTACTED THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY ALSO DON?T CARE TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE AN ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A RECALL BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD AND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON WEB FORUMS. I AM NOW DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A BROKEN SEAT WHICH IS DANGEROUS BUT I DON'T HAVE 800.00 TO GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD NOT SLIDE FORWARD ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THEREBY CREATING A GRINDING NOISE AND A SLIGHT AND UNNATURAL SWIVEL OF THE SEAT TO THE LEFT. *TR

I WAS MY DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT DROPPED ABOUT 3 INCHES AND ALMOST MADE ME DRIVE OFF THE ROAD. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID, SORRY BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT $1,000 TO FIX. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, I HEARD A SNAP AND MY SEAT COLLAPSED, SHIFTING TO THE LEFT. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INJURING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I AM BEING CHARGED $1000.00 TO REPAIR, WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN POSITION. THIS CAUSES IMPAIRMENT OF DRIVER LINE OF SIGHT. NISSAN CHARGES $500 FOR PART ALONE AND IS NOT DEALING WITH IT AS A SAFETY/WARRANTY ISSUE. *TR

BROKEN FRAME ASSEMBLY IN DRIVER'S SEAT FOR 2006 NISSAN MURANO. NORMAL WEAR & TEAR, NO SPECIFIC EVENT CAUSED THIS DAMAGE. THE SEAT ROCKS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SEAT BRACKET AND LIFT MOTOR ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THE REPAIR COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO BE $680. THIS IS NOT A WEARABLE PART THAT IS EVER SUPPOSED TO BREAK, AND WAS POORLY DESIGNED. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO: DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. FLOPS DOWN HALF WAY IMPEDING LINE OF SIGHT THROUGH WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART FREE OF CHARGE EVEN THOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND IS CHARGING $400 FOR THIS PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. A SPRING BROKE IN THE SUN VISOR, WHICH CAUSED THE VISOR TO REPEATEDLY FALL INTO HIS FACE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO DATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,423.

SUNVISOR FALLS DOWN CREATING BLIND HAZARD. *TR

BOTH SCREWS HOLDING TAILGATE LATCH TO VEHICLE FRAME FAILED IN >20K MILES LEAVING TAILGATE SECURED BY > 1/4" OF PLASTIC INTERIOR TRIM WHICH IS SECURED BY 3 PLASTIC SNAP CONNECTORS. FAILED SCREWS WERE CONNECTED TO THREADED METAL BASE IN ENCLOSED BOX FRAME MEMBER. ONLY FIX WAS TO CUT BOX, RECOVER BASE AND RE-ATTACH SCREWS AND WELD COVER OVER CUT. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT RECENTLY STARTED TO ROCKING TOWARD THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WHICH ALERTED ME TO HAVING A PROBLEM. THE SUB RAIL THAT HOLD THE SEAT IN BROKEN. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET INTO THE CAR THE SEAT IS LEANING TO THE LEFT DOOR. I CONTACTED THE DEALER IN WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR, THEY SAID IT IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS UP. I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE NISSAN WHICH I HAVE ALSO DONE . *TR

DRIVING ALONG AND BACK LEFT OF DRIVERS SEAT SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN ABOUT 3-INCHES CAUSING ME TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I SUSPECT A BOLT HAS COME LOOSE OR MORE LIKELY FROM THE NUMEROUS POSTS I HAVE FOUND ONLINE A WELD HAS BROKEN. THIS IS REGARDING A 06 NISSAN MURANO. *TR

APPROX 8/2009 I HAD MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR REPLACED AFTER SUDDEN FAILURE TO REMAIN UPRIGHT. IT WOULD FLOP DOWN WHILE DRIVING TO BLOCK EXPECTED VIEW AND/OR STAY AT AN ANGLE THAT WOULD HAVE HIT ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FOREHEAD, BEING TALL, AS IS MY HUSBAND, SHOULD AN ACCIDENT CAUSE ANY FORWARD BODY MOVEMENT. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW JUST 1 DAY AGO THE PASSENGER SIDE ALSO DID THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. MY HUSBAND WAS THE PASSENGER AND HE KEPT SAYING "BOY I DON'T LIKE THIS WOULD CATCH ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FOREHEAD IF WE GOT HIT" IT WON'T STAY UP SO IT HAS TO ALWAYS STAY DOWN NOW WHICH RESTRICTS NIGHT TIME DRIVING. I "GOOGLED" MURANO VISOR COMPLAINTS AND THERE ARE MANY OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS!!! I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST YOU REVIEW THIS AS A BIG DANGER FOR VISUAL RESTRICTION DURING NIGHT OR SUDDEN UNEXPECTED LIMITS DURING DAY DRIVING UPON DROPPING DOWN AND POSSIBLE FACIAL INJURY UPON ANY IMPACT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO SUNVISORS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) CONTINUALLY DROP DOWN DURING DRIVING. THEY ROTATE FROM A "UP" POSITION TO A "DOWN" POSITION ON THEIR OWN. AVERAGE ROAD VIBRATION / DRIVING CONDITIONS CONSTANTLY CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN. ONCE THE VISORS ARE "DOWN", THEY BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THESE ARE NOT COVERED UNDER NORMAL FACTORY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. PART COST FOR EACH VISOR IS $400.00 FROM NISSAN....DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTALLATION COSTS. NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THESE UNDER RECALL / WARRANTY / TSB. LOOKING TO GET RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, AS IT SEEMS TO BE RATHER WIDESPREAD / OCCURRING AMONGST FELLOW MURANO OWNERS. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED NISSAN MURANO 2006 AT 42000 MILES. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT AT THE BEGINNING, TWO MONTHS LATER MY SEAT STARTED MAKING VERY SQUEAKY NOISE. UNTIL YESTERDAY I KEPT DRIVING HAVING NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. ON MY WAY TO WORK MY DRIVER SEAT SNAPPED ON THE LEFT SIDE. I ALMOST CRUSHED BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY. I AM GLAD THAT IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT AND THERE WAS NO CARS AROUND ME. APPARENTLY THERE IS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN DEFECTIVE SEAT AND DEALERS ARE CHARGING CLOSE TO 900$ TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT EVEN OCCURRED EVER. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR CAUSING IT TO FALL IN THE DRIVER'S FACE. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO USE VELCRO OR HOLD UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE VELCRO IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AS IT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD UP THE HEAVY VISOR AND CONTINUALLY FALLS IN THE FACE OF THE DRIVER. THE VISOR MALFUNCTION STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 50K MILES AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER NISSAN'S WARRANTY. THE VISOR CAN BE REPLACED, BUT AT A COST OF NEAR $500. I FEEL THAT THIS DEFECT IN THE VISOR SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AS I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON NISSAN AUTO FORUMS. *TR

GAS GAUGE AND ELECTRONIC GAS DISPLAY ARE NOT IN SYNC. FLUCTUATING BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON SINCE THIS OCCURRED. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO REFUSES TO STAY UP AND CONTINUALLY DROPS IN FRONT OF MY FACE WHILE DRIVING UNLESS I HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND. NISSAN KNOWS THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO HELP FOR LESS THAN $400-$500. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES. I WEIGH 160 POUNDS AND DO 95% OF MY DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE FRAME SUPPORTING THE DRIVER SEAT CRACKED CAUSING THE SEAT TO BECOME UNSTABLE AND CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. AS A RESULT, I HAVE TO KEEP THE SEAT IN THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POSITION, OTHERWISE IT BECOMES HIGHLY UNSTABLE. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE REPAIRS AT $1,035. THE RESULT OF MY RESEARCH OF THIS DEFECT DISCLOSED THAT IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR 2006 NISSAN MURANOS. HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, THEY RESPONDED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT AND THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR ANY PORTION OF THE REPAIR. *TR

MY 06 NISSAN MURANO IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE SEAT MOVING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AROUND CORNERS AND SUCH.... I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS ON THIS AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN ISSUE... YET WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY TOUGH LUCK AND IT IS $900 TO FIX.... THAT IS WRONG... THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT COST ME TO HAVE FIXED... I AM AT RISK EVERY TIME MY WIFE OR MYSELF DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT CHARGE... IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST IF WE GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND WE SUE NISSAN FOR NOT FIXING A KNOWN ISSUE.... I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN HAVING MY SEAT FIXED FOR SAFETY REASONS..... *TR

DRIVERS SEAT LEFT REAR BRACKET SNAPPED IN HALF, SEAT NOW ROCKS UP AND DOWN 3 INCHES AND LEANS RIGHT. EMAILED NISSAN CORPORATE THEY HAD ME BRING IT TO A DEALER WHO QUOTED ME $1089.00 TO FIX, REVIEWED COST WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY HAVE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH THE MURANO BUT CAN'T COVER THE REPAIR EXPENSE, SHE SAID "KEEP THE RECEIPT IN CASE WE RECALL IT YOU WILL GET SOME MONEY BACK". *TR

1. NORMAL DRIVING OF NISSAN MURANO APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. 2. HIGH PRESSURE HOSE ON POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED. LEAKDOWN RATE PROVIDED SOME WARNING DUE TO NOISE BUT FAILURE CAN CAUSE A SUDDEN DANGEROUS LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY. 3. BECAUSE NISSAN HAS SO MANY OF THESE PARTICULAR FAILURES, NO OEM HOSES ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS DATE. MANY DEALERSHIPS ARE AWAITING REPLACEMENT HOSES FOR CUSTOMERS. *TR

MY 06 MURANO SL BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL AND STALL. AT FIRST IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HAD BUMPED INTO ME, BUT AFTER NOTICING THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD NOT. I TRIED TO MOVE ON WITH THE TRAFFIC. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE BY USING THE GAS PEDAL. THEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE ON ITS OWN LUCKY FOR ME THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME BEGAN TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE I TRIED TO MOVE OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. I PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN IN DRIVE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT MOVE ONCE AGAIN EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE WHILE IN THE LOWER GEAR AND SECOND GEAR JUST TO GET OUT THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND IT STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. THEN OUT OF KNOW WHERE IT BEGAN TO DRIVE ON ITS OWN AGAIN WITHOUT ME PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THAT ALLOWED ME TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. AGAIN LUCKY FOR ME I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY THROUGH THE STAND STILL TRAFFIC. ONCE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I PUT IT IN PARK THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP. THEN I THOUGHT OK IT WILL MOVE NOW, BUT THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE ITSELF IN REVERSE WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION. I CALLED MY MOTOR CLUB AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT TWO OF MY TRANSMISSION HOSES BLEW AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ITS FLUID AND IT WOULD COST ME $711 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 MURANO, I WENT OVER A SET OF TRAIN TRACKS WHICH IS QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY AN INTERSECTION. JUST BEFORE I HIT THE TRACKS, A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME FROM THE UPCOMING INTERSECTION. AS I WENT OVER THE TRACKS APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR DROPPED OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF TRAFFIC. I NEARLY MISSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SUNVISOR FALLING INTO THE DRIVERS VIEW AT RANDOM IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE SUNVISORS TO FAIL. A REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALER IS ABOUT $500. NISSAN DOES NOT SEE THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THIS AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE DANGEROUS SUNVISORS ONCE OUT OF THE 3 YEAR 36000 MILE WARRANTY. MINE FAILED AT 3 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS, WITH 32000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I TELL YOU ABOUT THE ONE TIME I ALMOST WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE SUNVISOR, BUT IT FALLS DOWN IN MY FACE ON A REGULAR BASIS. ABOUT EVERY 20 OR SO MINUTES OF DRIVING. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR DANGEROUS SUNVISORS, THEY CAN DROP DOWN IN THE DRIVERS VIEW AT ANY TIME. I NEARLY HIT A LADY IN THE DRIVERS DOOR. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO STARTED FLOPPING AROUND. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE SAYS THAT WE NEED TO SPEND $1000 TO FIX THE SEAT. WE HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. IT IS DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS DEFINE DEFECT. *TR

DRIVER'S-SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY BECAME UNABLE TO STAY AT A SECURE ANGLE, WHICH CAUSES A RECURRING VISIBILITY PROBLEM. IT NO LONGER STAYS AT A SECURE POSITION IF IT IS NOT FLIPPED UP FLAT AGAINST THE HEADLINER. THIS PRECLUDES USING IT AS INTENDED TO BLOCK SUN FROM SHINING DIRECTLY INTO DRIVER'S EYES. IF NOT FLAT AGAINST THE HEADLINER, IT ONLY HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS LINE-OF-SIGHT WHILE DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VISOR'S END IS SECURED OR NOT IN ITS CLIP. TO AVOID SUN SHINING DIRECTLY AND UNSAFELY INTO EYES, IT'S NECESSARY TO HOLD THE VISOR AT NECESSARY ANGLE WITH ONE HAND, LEAVING ONLY ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT MAY SOUND LIKE A MINOR PROBLEM - - UNTIL YOU REGULARLY EXPERIENCE HAVING TO MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN BEING LITERALLY BLINDED BY THE SUN WHILE DRIVING OR HAVING TO USE ONE HAND TO HOLD THE VISOR UP. IT IS NO LONGER COVERED BY MY NOW-EXPIRED 36 MO/3 YR WARRANTY. DEALERS ESTIMATE TO REPAIR: $400.00. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT UNDER BOTTOM CROSS BAR BECOMES UNWELDED AND BROKE. *TR
