Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2006 record →
EVERY TIME I TOUCH THE BRAKE I HEAR A SQUEAKING SOUND. SOUNDS ALMOST LIKE A BIRD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY OILED IT. THE SOUND WENT AWAY BUT IS NOW BACK AGAIN AFTER ONLY A FEW WEEKS. *JB
SQUEAKY BRAKE PEDAL. IRRITATING. NOT SURE RELAVANCE. *NM
WHILE ON A THREE HOUR ROAD TRIP, MY 11 YEAR OLD SON WAS RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT (BEHIND) DRIVER OF MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 NISSAN MURANO. HE WAS PLAYING WITH THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT WHICH RETRACTS FROM THE CEILING AND SOMEHOW WRAPPED THE SEAT BELT AND KNOTTED AROUND HIS NECK. MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK ALSO AND TRIED TO UNSUCCESSFULLY LOOSEN THE SEAT BELT. WE PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY, MY SON STARTED TO PANIC AND EACH TIME HE MOVED THE SEAT BELT GOT TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. ME AND MY FIANCE TRIED TO GET THE SEAT BELT OFF OR AT LEAST LOOSEN. AT THIS POINT MY SON COULD NOT BREATHE AND HIS FACE WAS RED AND LIPS STARTING TO TURN PURPLE. LUCKILY MY FIANCE HAD A POCKET KNIFE AND WE WERE ABLE TO CUT THE SEAT BELT. IF WE DID NOT HAVE A KNIFE, I AM SURE MY SON WOULD HAVE DIED. IF THERE WERE A SAFETY MECHANISM THAT COULD RELEASE THE SEAT BELT WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS TERRIBLE ORDEAL. *NM
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
