2006 Nissan Murano complaints

DRIVERS SEAT WAS MAKING A SQUEAKING NOISE AND FINALLY BROKE, SENDING THE SEAT DOWN TO THE FLOOR, JOLTING THE DRIVER. IT WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

DRIVER'S POWER SEAT FRAME ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO BROKE. NO LONGER ANCHORED PROPERLY TO SAFELY SECURE DRIVER. *TR

BACK LEFT SEAT ANCHOR ON THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND IS UNSTABLE. *TR

NEEDED NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKES 26K MILES, NO WARNING SQUEAK JUST METAL TO METAL GRIND. WHICH MEANS NOT ONLY PADS BUT ROTORS AS WELL. DEALER SAID NORMAL TO REPLACE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES 25K MILES. *TR

1 NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS 2 BROKEN SEAT BRACKET (ASSEMBLY) UNDERNEATH SEAT 3 THE WHOLE SEAT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO NOW WITH 45000 MILES ON IT. SINCE LESS THAN 5K MI, THE CAR DOES 2 THINGS THAT MAY BE IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER: 1) WHEN DRIVING AT CONSTANT SPEED ON FLAT ROAD BETWEEN 40 & 70+ MPH, THE RPM'S WILL JUMP UP 500-1000RPMS FOR A BRIEF MOMENT- ALMOST FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AND THEN BACK IN. OR COULD BE THAT IT DETECTS A SLIGHT PRESSURE ON PEDAL (LINKAGE/SENDER WHATEVER) AND DOWNSHIFTS THEN JUMPS BACK DOWN? IT DOES THIS WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AS WELL. 2) ALSO, ACCELERATION IS SLUGGISH WHEN LEISURELY PROCEEDING FROM A STOP, OR VERY SLOW SPEED (SAY MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN FROM A STOP OF SLOW PACE). WHILE PUSHING ON PEDAL, RPMS AND ENGINE WILL ACTUALLY DECREASE TO ABOUT 1000-1500RPS CAUSING CAR TO LAG (BIG SAFETY ISSUE FOR I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY OTHER CARS DUE TO THIS). DOES NOT DO IF I DO A HARD ACCELERATE (BUT I DON'T DRIVE THAT WAY...JACK RABBIT STARTS). DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED #1 AND REPLACED TRANNY. STILL DID IT BOTH PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP REPLACED COMPUTER FOR TRANNY. STILL DOES BOTH, BUT #1 DOES NOT HAPPEN AS OFTEN (USED TO HAPPEN 3+ TIMES IN A 15 MINUTE PERIOD OF LESS, NOT DOES 1-3X PER HOUR MAYBE- I HAVE STOPPED TRACKING). I LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW WHEN I BRING FOR SERVICE, BUT I GIVE UP- CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. I'LL RETURN THE LEASE. TOO BAD- LOVE THE CAR, JUST FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIND. I HAVE FOUND OTHER REPORTS OF SAME LIKE PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT UNEXPECTEDLY COLLAPSED BACKWARDS. THE DRIVER MANEUVERED THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN TO HER RESIDENCE AND THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE SEAT FRAME BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS INOPERATIVE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 43,633.

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKEN AT REAR LEFT CORNER RESULTING THE SEAT ROCKING WHEN CORNERING AND EVENTUALLY COLLAPSING AT THE LEFT REAR CORNER. DEALER REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OFFERED TO REDUCE THE PART PRICE TO DEALER COST ($750.00) WITH NO REDUCTION IN LABOR COSTS. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE, THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND MUST BE RECALLED. *TR

THE VEHICLE'S CURRENT PROBLEM IS THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS MALFUNCTIONED, AND DEFECTED WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE AND BATTERY TO SHUT OFF AND DIE. THIS ALREADY OCCURRED MORE THAN 3 TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE OIL TANK PIPE LEAKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN THE DEFECTED ALTERNATOR FAILS, THEN IT CAUSES THE BATTERY AND ENGINE TO SHUT OFF AND DIE. IF A PERSON IS DRIVING A DEFECTED VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECTED AND MALFUNCTIONED ALTERNATOR THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUTOFF AND DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR STREET THEN A HUGE ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR AND IT WILL CAUSE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO DIE OR EVEN GET SEVERELY OR PERMANENTLY INJURED. THIS VEHICLE DEFINITELY HAS A RECALL, MALFUNCTIONED, AND DEFECTED ALTERNATOR. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT BUT THEY NEVER ADMIT THAT IT IS THE DEFECTED ALTERNATOR PROBLEM AND NEVER FIX IT. THEY JUST PROVIDE AND INSTALL A NEW BATTERY IN MY VEHICLE. BUT THAT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE BATTERY POWER GETS DRAINED AND IT DIES AND SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE. THIS ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME OVER 3 TIMES AND NISSAN'S SERVICE DEPT NEVER RESOLVES THIS IMPORTANT PROBLEM. THIS URGENT PROBLEM NEEDS TO TAKEN CARED OF ASAP OR ELSE IT WILL BE DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S LIFE. *TR

I DRIVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO SL. THE VEHICLE PERIODICALLY DOES NOT SAFELY ACCELERATE WHILE IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I HAD MY WIFE, 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE SLUGGISHLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION AND TEMPORARILY STALLED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED US TO BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO ABOUT 4000 RPM'S THEN PROCEEDING TO ACCELERATE. I SEE THIS PROBLEM AS A MAJOR SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE AND CAN BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF A MAJOR ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DEATH TO INVOLVED PARTIES. PLEASE BE PROACTIVE AS OPPOSED TO REACTIVE AND START THE PROCESS FOR A RECALL OF THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVER SEAT REAR BRACKET BROKEN ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO SE SIMILAR TO PE08065. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD START SQUEAKING WHENEVER I MADE ANY TURNS OR DROVE OVER BUMPS. IT SOUNDS LIKE PLASTIC GRINDING. ON 12/12/08, I SAT IN THE SEAT AND THE FRAME BROKE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT NOW ROCKS FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHENEVER YOU TURN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOUR FEET WILL COME OFF THE GAS OR BREAK WHENEVER YOU TURN. I WENT ON THE WEB, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PUBLIC FORUMS FROM MURANO OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT TAKE ANY ANY ACTION. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WILL ONLY REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT FOR $1,200.00 AND NOT TRY TO FIX THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. IF THEY WANT YOU TO BUY A WHOLE NEW SEAT, WHAT IS TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING AGAIN? UNACCEPTABLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS SEAT, BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. HIS SEAT FRAME BROKE AND BEGAN ROCKING. THE DEALERS COST TO REPAIR THE SEAT WAS $1,200.57. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH A BROKEN SEAT FRAME. THERE IS NO EXISTING RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000. UPDATED 12/16/08 *CN UPDATED 12/19/08. *JB

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, 40,000 MILES. CAUSING A ROCKING OR LEANING OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND I HEARD A SNAP WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND INDEED THE SEAT FRAME BRACKET SNAPPED IN TWO PLACES. THE BACK LEFT BRACKET OF MY DRIVERS SEAT SNAPPED IN A Y PATTERN. I HAVE NOT REPLACED IT YET BECAUSE NISSAN WANTS $900 TO REPLACE IT. I FEEL THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE, WHEN YOUR LEFT REAR ANCHOR IS NOT HOLDING YOUR SEAT IN PLACE. *TR

DRIVER SEAT BROKEN. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD TALK TO NISSAN ABOUT REPAIRING IT. CAR HAS 42K MILES ON IT. THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR IT IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER'S SEAT ROCKED OVER TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FRAME FAILED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,760.

AFTER OWNING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO FOR JUST OVER TWO YEARS THE LOWER SEAT BRACE HAS BROKEN AND THE SEAT LEANS AND LIFTS IN A LEFT HAND TURN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE COMPANY IS UNWILLING TO FIX AT NO COST. I HOPE THE NUMBERS OF COMPLAINTS WILL TRIGGER SOME RESPONSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

TRAVELING AT 35 MPH APPROACHING INTERSECTION WHERE LIGHT HAD TURNED RED. BEGAN DECELERATING AS I APPROACHED THE STOPPED TRAFFIC. GETTING CLOSER, TO THE STOPPED TRAFFIC, I BEGAN TO BRAKE. I FELT A "CATCH" ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THEN IT FAILED AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED BRAKING FOUR OR FIVE TIMES AGAIN, BUT THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WATCHED AS IF IN "SLOW MOTION" AS I KNEW I WOULD BE HITTING A LARGE AUTO TRANSPORT TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. SINCE I HAD ALREADY BEGAN DECELERATING AND THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE IN COMPARISON TO THE SIZE OF A DOUBLE DECKER AUTO TRANSPORT TRUCK WAS NOT THAT EXTENSIVE , I AM GUESSING I WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 25 TO 30 MPH AT THE TIME OF IMPACT. THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT. THE BRAKES FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT WERE FINE; HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FAILURE OCCURRING AGAIN. I HAVE READ THAT THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT SQUEAKING BRAKES WITH THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO WHICH WE HAVE EXPERIENCED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE A COMPUTER GLITCH OR PROBLEM WITH THE ABS, AND COULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF DAMAGE, AND I WILL BE GOING THERE TO DISCUSS THE BRAKING PROBLEM. *TR

ON OCT. 19TH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ARE 2006 NISSAN MURANO, I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND ARE SON WAS IN THE BACK. WE HAD JUST PULLED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND WE HEARD A LOAD POP. MY WIFE SAID I THINK THE SEAT JUST BROKE. WE CONTINUED ON TO HOME DEPOT AND THERE I EXAMINED THE SEAT AND YES THE SEAT WAS BROKEN AS THE BACK LEFT SECTION OF THE SEAT IS UNATTACHED FROM THE FRAME AND CAN BE RAISED AND LOWERED AT WILL. WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP MONDAY OCT. 20TH AND THEY REAFFIRMED THAT THE SEAT ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND THE PART WOULD BE 615.00 AND THE LABOR ANOTHER 200 PLUS DOLLARS. I MADE A CALL TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND AFTER ALMOST TWO WEEKS OF DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM THEY WERE WILLING TO ONLY ALLOW FOR A 200.00 GOOD WILL REIMBURSEMENT. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS NOT A MECHANICAL PART BUT A STRUCTURAL PART AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN ESPECIALLY ON A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 53000 MILES. I EXPLAINING THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS CONDITION AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND IT. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF INDIVIDUALS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB FOR IT AS WELL AS A SERVICE BULLETIN POST BY NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A STRUCTURAL PART NOT A MECHANICAL PART AND WITH IT BROKEN IT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE FOR ME, MY WIFE AND OUR SON. WE WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ON OCT. 31 AS ARE FAMILY IS DEPENDENT ON THE VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILS TO STAY UP. THIS CAUSES A VISION PROBLEM THAT IMPEDES DRIVING SEVERELY!! *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED AND POPS DOWN WITH EVERY HARD BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED ON A LOT OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO'S. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT BLOCKS SIGHT AT THE WRONG TIME. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO FELT AS THOUGH THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT. THEN IT BECAME OBVIOUSLY LOOSE/WOBBLY, SO MUCH SO THAT IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE SEAT WILL FALL OVER GOING AROUND A TURN. I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A MECHANISM THAT HAD BROKE UNDER THE SEAT, THAT THE WHOLE THING WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND COULD COST AS MUCH AS $1,200! IT DOESN'T SEEM SAFE, YET I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY, AND NOW SEEING THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE W/ MURANO'S-CERTAINLY NISSAN WOULD HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS. I FIND DRIVING IT MYSELF IS GETTING MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF HOW WOBBLY THE SEAT IS-BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT. WHEN THE SEAT LEANS, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS PULLED TOO. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT MORE AND MORE. I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND A SEAT BRACKET UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT IN MY CAR HAS BROKEN. ALTHOUGH THIS SEAMS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY OVER $1000. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BRACKET GAVE WAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO. NO WARNING SINGS OR HINTS OF INSTABILITY WAS DISPLAYED BEFORE THE BREAK. "BRACKET" MEANING THE DEVICE THAT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE FRAME, MOUNTED TO THE CAR FLOOR. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND IT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE NISSAN MURANO THE DEALER IS DENYING THIS FACT. YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SIDE SEAT BACK CROSS BRACE BROKE, CAR ONLY HAS 46,800 MILES

THIS PAST WEEK I HAD TWO TRANSMISSION RUBBER LINES BREAK. ONE ON A TRIP UPSTATE NEAR THE DELAWARE WATER GAP. I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A NEW RUBBER LINE. THE OLD HOSE JUST BROKE OFF IN MY HANDS. WE DROVE HOME FINE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, THE OTHER HOSE BROKE OFF. THE CAR IS NOW GOING BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. TRANSMISSION FLUID IS FLAMMABLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND THE RUBBER LINES SHOULD NOT BREAK OFF LIKE THEY DID. *TR

BROKEN DRIVERS SEAT. SEAT IS VERY LOOSE AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL DETACH AT ANY MOMENT. LEANS SEVERELY TO THE LEFT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE MADE AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE. EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT FELT AS IF THE REAR OF IT WAS BEING STRUCK.

A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE FAILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 49,500.

I PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN MURANO IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. YESTERDAY I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR TO GO HOME FROM WORK AND WAS PLACING MY LAPTOP COMPUTER BAG IN THE BACKSEAT AND RESTED MY HAND ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE SEAT WAS NOTICEABLY UNSTABLE AND UNSECURED. I INVESTIGATED UNDER THE SEAT TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT HAD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRACK, IT HAD NOT, THE POWER SEAT STILL MOVES BACK AND FORTH. I DROVE IT HOME WITH MY SEAT UNLEVEL AND MY HUSBAND TOOK A LOOK AND DISCOVERED THE THIN METAL SUPPORT ROD HAD BROKE AT THE CONNECTION POINT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME ON A CAR EVER. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A MORE EXPENSIVE CAR WOULD MISS A STEP SO CRITICAL TO COMFORT. *TR

OUR VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. ON FEBRUARY 10, 2008 WE NOTICED THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS BROKEN (IT WAS ROCKING BACK AND FORTH). WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO DECORMIER NISSAN IN MANCHESTER, CT WHO REPLACED THE SEAT. THE SEATS WELDED STEEL FRAME WAS BROKEN.

THE LEXUS, WHICH WAS JUST A NISSAN MURANO,HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LAMPS BURNING OUT ,AND THEY WERE ALL REPLACED BY THE COMPANY UNDER A RECALL. NISSAN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM, BUT MOST MECHANICS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. AS I CHECKED WITH 10 OF THEM IN MY AREA THEY ALL SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING. *AK

TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COMPLETELY STOP WORKING UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ICE WENT DOWN BELOW THE HOOD, AND IT STOPPED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM WORKING. THE ICE PREVENTED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN COME BACK UP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MUST BE ABLE TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK PROPERLY. SHE WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED, BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IN A STORM. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT SHE SHOULD LIFT THE HOOD AND CLEAN THE AREA WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE IN ANOTHER STORM, AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING AGAIN. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CONTACT WAS IN A BAD STORM.

PROBLEM (CONTINUING TO) FILL-UP WITH FUEL WHEN USING GAS PUMPS WITH VAPOR RECOVERY: FOR THE MOST PART, THE PUMP TRIGGER SHOULD NOT BE OPENED TO MAXIMUM OTHERWISE WILL TRIGGER A SHUT-OFF; HOWEVER, IF A SLIGHT JERK BACK OF THE PUMP OCCURS, WILL TRIGGER A STOP AND CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE FILL-UP EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING TOPPED OFF. RESEARCHING THE WEB HAD REVEALED THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY LATER-MODEL VEHICLES. *NM

2006 NISSAN MURANO WON'T TAKE GAS STOPS NOZZLE EVEN WHEN ITS NOT FULL***CC THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM

MURANO IS STILL CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT AND DEALER CAN NOT FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE OR RE-PURCHASE MY VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME IT HAS BEEN SEEN BY THE DEALER 5 TIMES DOCUMENTED, 2 TIMES UNDOCUMENTED. I FEEL LIKE THIS FALLS INTO THE LEMON LAW, SO I WILL BE FILLING A LEMON LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN AT THIS TIME. I LIKE MY MURANO BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. *JB

TAKEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR CONTINUOUS SMELL OF COOLANT COMING FROM VEHICLE WHEN MOTOR GETS HOT. DEALER CONTINUES TO CLAIM THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. RECENTLY TOOK A TRIP TO TENNESSEE AND THE COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR WAS ALMOST GONE BY THE TIME I GOT BACK HOME. IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM NISSAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. AT THIS TIME NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED OR REPLACED AND WE STILL HAVE THE SMELL OF THE COOLANT COMING FROM OUR VEHICLE. *NM

EVIDENTLY A ROCK WAS ABLE TO PENETRATE MY CONDENSER DUE TO THE WIDE OPEN GAPS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. MY A/C IS NO LONGER PROVIDING COLD AIR IN MY 2 MONTH OLD 2006 NISSAN MURANO. COST OF THE REPAIR $717.98 AND NO KNOWN PREVENTION OF THIS RECURRING MULTIPLE TIMES. PER THE LAKE NISSAN SALES MANAGER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO SL. THE RECURRING PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP STOPS GENERALLY AFTER PUMPING ONLY 0.5 GALLONS TO 3 GALLONS. OFTEN, I CAN NOT FILL IT UP ANYMORE AT THAT PUMP. SOMETIMES, I CAN START TO FILL IT UP AT A SLOWER RATE AND CONTINUE TO GET THE REST OF THE GAS IN THE TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 7 OR 8 DIFFERENT STATIONS IN TOWN, AT NUMEROUS PUMPS - SO IT IS NOT A CASE WHERE 1 PUMP AT A STATION IS PUMPING TOO FAST (AS WAS USED AS THE INITIAL EXCUSE). I HAVE READ IN FORUMS OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, IN ADDITION SOMEONE AT MY DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. YET MY MURANO IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE MAY 2006. THEY HAVE CLEANED THE ROLLOVER FLOAT AND ARE NOW REPLACING THE TANK ASSEMBLY. ONE MORE TIME QUALIFIES FOR THE LEMON LAW IN ILLINOIS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER THE REARVIEW MIRROR WAS CHECKED AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A DUMP TRUCK AND WAS DRAGGED BY THE TRUCK. THE CONTACT HAD NO RECOLLECTION OF EVENTS AFTER CHECKING THE MIRROR. THE CONTACT HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, ALTHOUGH THE SEATBELT WAS WORN. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CONTACT'S STERNUM FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS NOT STRUCK AND THE AIRBAGS SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED.

PUNCTURE OF FUEL TANK WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY PRESUMABLY DUE TO AN OBJECT ON ROAD. *JB

ON 4 OCCASIONS MY NISSAN MURANO 06 AFTER STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL. THIS HAPPENED ON A FLAT ROAD, THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS ~1300 MILES. I BELIEVE IT IS THE ABS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO TROUBLE CODE, THERE WAS NOTHING TO FIX. *JB
