2006 Nissan Murano complaints

UPON SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE FRAME SNAPPED ON LEFT SIDE AND NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. I LOVED THIS CAR UNTIL NOW. IT'S A CRYING SHAME THAT A VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE COULD HAVE BROKEN. I AM NOT A HEAVY PERSON NOR DO I ABUSE THE VEHICLE. I DRIVE ONE MILE TO WORK ON A BLACKTOP ROAD! AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THIS SAME ISSUE, I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND MAKE IT RIGHT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

DURING MY DRIVE WHILE EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE JUMPED/SPED UP ON ITS OWN AS IF I ACCELERATED. FELT LIKE A TRANSMISSION SLIP. WHILE APPROACHING MY EXIT, CAR JUST DIED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF AND PUT ON MY EMERGENCY HAZARD FLASHERS. I TRIED TO START THE CAR, AND IT JUST CRANKED. I WAITED APPROX. TEN MINUTES AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE SLOWLY UNTIL THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. EXPERIENCED SOME HESITATION ALONG THE DRIVE HOME AND WITH NO WARNING, JUST A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING, THE CAR DIED AGAIN. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO FAILED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND QUOTED FOR REPLACE THE TWO FAILING FUEL SENDING UNITS $100 TO INSPECT + $700/$800 PART & LABOR. OF COURSE IS NOT COVERED BY NISSAN. HOW MANY OTHER BRANDS BESIDE NISSAN HAVE YOU SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM? I AM SIMPLY APPALLED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM NISSAN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS, DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSING, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON DUE TO FUEL GAUGE FAILURE, WIPER MOTOR/TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. MY NISSAN MURANO HAS ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND MORE. I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THE FACT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND UP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS IS AN INSULT TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT. NISSAN OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE DESPITE THE CLEAR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE COMPONENTS. WE LOVE TEH CAR BUT IT SHOULD HOLE TOGETHER BETTER THAN THIS. THERES ARE NOT ITEMS CAUSED BY HIGH MILLAGE JUT PLAIN POOR DESIGNS. SEATS BREAKING - NO WAY, VISORS FALLING DOWN - NO WAY, FUEL GAUGE FAILURE - NO WAY, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT - NO WAY, WIPER MOTOR/TRANSMISSION - NO WAY - PLEASE HELP US!!!! *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT MADE A POP SOUND AND NOW SEAT WOBBLES. VERY IRRITATED WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE THANKSGIVING 2013. WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN IN MY FUTURE! WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE DRIVER SEAT BREAKING, NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP AND SEND A RECALL TO HAVE THE SEATS REPLACED! I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SEATS BREAKING! *TR

SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD POP. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING JUST SITTING THERE. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP SIGN, AS THE TIRES HIT THE DRAINAGE RUT IN THE ROAD, I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING THROWN FROM MY SEAT. THE LOUD POP WAS THE SHEARING OF A METAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENT ON THE SEAT TRACK UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT WAS SO MUCH THAT, HAD I BEEN REAR ENDED, MY HEAD WOULD HIT THE FRAME ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD OR THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. NISSAN CHARGED ME $1700 FOR THE REPAIR, CLAIMING I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, NISSAN CORPORATION REFUSES TO COVER ANY COST OF THE REPAIR. WHEN CONTACTED, THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMPONENT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BECAME FRACTURED AND THE SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING FRACTURED FROM THE TRACK AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,800.

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP. CONSTANTLY COMING DOWN AND OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE. *JS

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) MANUFACTURER DEFECT. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE UNPREDICTABLY LOOSES POWER AND DECELERATES. ABRUPT, UNCONTROLLED LOSS OF POWER PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT CRASH POTENTIAL. DRIVER IS CHALLENGED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY MANEUVER AND NEGOTIATE TRAFFIC, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS TRANSMISSION DEFECT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED BY NISSAN MURANO OWNERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BECAME FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

DRIVER SIDE SEAT IS MOVING SIDE TO SIDE AFTER SEARCHING FOR "LOOSE DRIVER SEAT NISSAN MURANO" PAGES OF VIDEOS AND COMPLAINTS CAME UP OF THE SEAT MOUNT BREAKING. AFTER LOOKING MINE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF METAL FATIGUE. ALL THE ARTICLES SHOW THAT IT IS NOW COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. MOST PEOPLE QUOTED 1000$ FOR REPAIR. PART ALONE 750$ A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE RESORTED TO TAKING IT TO WELDING SHOPS BECAUSE OF THE COST. I DON'T WANT THIS PART TO BREAK WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING WHEN IT SNAPS. CAN'T IMAGINE HOW SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM CAN BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY NISSAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

LEFT REAR SEAT TRACK BROKE CAUSING THE SEAT TO LEAN AND MOVE BACK AND FORTH. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY A AVERAGE PERSON OF APPX 170 LBS. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THIS IS GETTING TO BE A PROBLEM IN OTHER VEHICLES AND A VERY EXPENSE PROBLEM TO FIX. WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY OR RECALL? *TR

DRIVER SEAT BRACKET IS BROKEN.... SEEMS TO BE A BAD PART. CAUSES SEAT TO ROCK WHILE DRIVING. *TR

NOTICED SEAT WAS TILTED TO LEFT AND WOBBLY. UPON ACCELERATING OR MAKING TURNS THE SEAT WOULD ACTUALLY ROTATE SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE SEAT. TOOK TO DEALER IN FEB AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE REPLACED "ALOT OF THEM" AND GAVE US AN ESTIMATE OF $1555.79 PLUS TAX TO REPAIR. WHEN ASKED ABOUT A RECALL DUE TO POTENTIAL DANGER, TECHNICIAN ACKNOWLEDGED DANGER BUT SIMPLY SAID HIS HANDS WERE TIED BECAUSE NO RECALL HAD BEEN MADE. GAVE US NUMBER FOR NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT TOLD US TO EXPECT A DENIAL, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE RECEIVED. REVIEW OF INTERNET COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA WEBSITE REVEALED MANY OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND SOME WHO FACED SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF IT. THANKFULLY, NO ONE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN HURT YET, BUT THE POTENTIAL IS CERTAINLY THERE. WANTED TO ADD OUR EXPERIENCE TO THE PUBLIC DIALOG WITH THE HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL RECONSIDER ITS POSITION.

WHILE DRIVING MY 8YR OLD DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND IN THE MURANO, I WENT AROUND A LONG LEFT HAND BEND GOING 45 IN A 50MPH AREA - THE BACK LEFT BRACKET UNDER MY SEAT JUST SNAPPED, WHICH IN TURN MADE ME LEAN BACK AND TO THE LEFT, OF COURSE THIS THEN EFFECTED MY STEERING AND FOR A BRIEF INSTANT PULLED ME INTO THE OPPOSING LANE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I MANAGED TO CORRECT MY POSITION ON THE ROAD. THIS BRACKET HAS SINCE BEEN REDESIGNED ON THE MORE RECENT MURANO'S TO BE MUCH STRONGER AND BASICALLY LOOKS AND WORKS LIKE THE OTHER 3 BRACKETS (THAT DON'T SNAP). THE BRACKET THAT SNAPPED ON MY CAR IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHERS IT'S A JOKE - AND SO DANGEROUS. I DID TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN DURHAM NC - BUT THEY TOLD ME A STRAIGHT UP "NO" WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX OR DO ANY KIND OF RECALL. (I GUESS THERE HAVE TO BE MORE COMPLAINTS/INJURIES/DEATHS BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE). MANY INSTANCES OF THIS CAN ALSO BE FOUND ONLINE, BUT ALL SEEM TO RECEIVE THE SAME ANSWER FROM NISSAN - "NO" . *TR

DURING DRIVING ON FREEWAY, MY DRIVERS SEAT MADE A LOUD SNAP NOISE, THE SEAT BROKE ,AND DIPPED BACK AND DOWN TO THE LEFT. MY BODY WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME, I WAS SITTING STILL. IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE AS THE SEAT BROKE IT CAUSED ME TO TURN MY DRIVERS WHEEL AND SWERVE ON THE FREEWAY, INTO THE NEXT LANE !!!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS !!! *TR

WAS SITTING IN CAR WAITING ON SOMEONE WHEN MY DRIVER SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE ON THE LEFT BACK CORNER OF THE FRAME. IMAGINE IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT SUDDENLY JUST BROKE. COULD HAVE EASILY HAVE SWERVED OR WORSE. NISSAN SAID THE NEW SEAT FRAME COST OVER $1,200.00 PLUS APPROX. $300.00 FOR LABOR TO REPLACE WITH A NEW FRAME. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IF SOMEONE IS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT BREAKS. THANKFULLY I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT. *TR

WHILE TUNING SLIGHTLY AND LOOKING BACKWARDS TO BACK OUT MY DRIVEWAY, HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND FELT MY SEAT FALL BACKWARD. I BRAKE AND STOPPED MY CAR. I THEN FELT MY SEAT FALL FORWARD.I EXITED MY CAR AND NOTICED THE LEFT FRONT OF MY DRIVES SEAT SITTING ON THE FLOOD. AND THAT MY AIRBAG INDICATOR HAD COME ON. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE SEAT I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE BARS UNDER THE SEAT HAD SNAPPED. I MANAGED TO TIE SOME WIRE AROUND TO KEEP IT IN PLACE. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING,MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE AUTO HAS TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE ANY STATE INSPECTION CERTIFICATE COULD BE THE ISSUED. I ASKED HOW MUCH THIS WOULD COST, AND AFTER SO RESEARCH I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO QUITE A FEW OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME AUTO AND THAT THIS IS A NISSAN ONLY PART WHICH COST $1,0000 FOR THE PART. AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB I HAVE LEARNED THAT IS COMMON AMONG THE NISSAN 2002-2007 AND YET NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL! *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT COMPLETELY COLLAPSED TO THE LEFT AND BACK. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, DISCOVERED THE SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET, ON THE BACK LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT, BROKE. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND HEARD A LOUD POP. SEAT BACK DOWN AND THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVED UP AND DOWN. AS I READ ON LINE IT HAS HAPPEN A LOT IN THE SAME AREA IT HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY THE SEAT MADE A POPPING NOISE AND COLLAPSED TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHICH IN TURN ALSO FORCED MY BODY TO LEAN INTO THE DOOR AND CAUSED ME TO MOMENTARILY JERK THE STEERING WHEEL BARELY AVOIDING A COLLISION. THE SEAT IS NOW BROKEN AND FORCES YOU TO SIT LEANING INTO THE DOOR AS THERE IS NO LONGER ANY SUPPORT. EVERY TIME I TURN OR IF I COME TO A QUICK STOP THE SEAT BOUNCES LIKE A RUBBER BAND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT THIS IS A SAFE WAY TO DRIVE A VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO THINK IT IS NOT THE WAY THAT THE MANUFACTURER TESTED OR INTENDED THE VEHICLE TO BE OPERATED. I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THE FAULTY BRACKET IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN ALL THE 2003-2008 NISSAN MURANOS. I ALSO FOUND THAT NISSAN MAKES A BRACKET THAT IS MUCH MORE STURDY AND THEY CHARGE YOU ALMOST $1000 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE KNOWINGLY ALLOWING THEIR FAULTY AND HAZARDOUS PARTS TO BE INSTALLED AT THE ASSEMBLY LINE INSTEAD OF USING THE UPGRADED BRACKET THAT IS ONE SOLID PIECE OF METAL. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID ANY FURTHER POTENTIAL HAZARDS. *TR

I WAS TURNING THE CORNER INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND MY SEAT ROCKED SIDEWAYS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY MORNING THEY TOLD ME PART # 87450+A IS BROKEN AND CANNOT BE FIXED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WEIGH ONLY 125 POUNDS, THIS PART MUST BE WEAK TO BEGIN WITH. IF THERE IS A RECALL BECAUSE OF SEATBELTS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WHEN A SEAT BECOMES DETACHED FROM YOUR VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A PART MALFUNCTION AS WELL. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT GOT OFF TRACK AND NO LONGER WORKS. CAN NOT MOVE THE SEAT AND SEAT IS NOW WOBBLING. *TR

1/14/2014 FRONT DRIVERS SEAT REAR BRACKET BROKEN - THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING BUT WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I SEE THAT YOUR AGENCY INQUIRED IN 2008 BUT THEN DROP IT BY 2009. HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THIS SIMILAR THING HAPPENING TO MUCH MORE THAN 14 PEOPLE ACCORDING TO YOUR REPORT. CAN YOU REOPEN THIS CASE AS IT IS A KNOWN AND CONTINUOUS PROBLEM? I CALLED MY DEALER AND THE PARTS DEPARTMENT KNEW THE PART NUMBER FOR THIS ISSUE RIGHT AWAY AND PROVIDED IT TO ME. SEAT FRAME #87450CA09A AND COST $1000 PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL. THE SERVICE MANAGERS KNEW OF THE PROBLEM, BUT SAID THEY HAVE ONLY HAD A FEW TO HIS KNOWLEDGE. HOW MANY DEALERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY MAY HAVE THE SAME RESPONSE AND THE NUMBERS GROW EXPONENTIALLY. I ALSO CALLED THE NISSAN CORP PER THE DEALER AT 800-NISSAN1 ( 800-647-7261). I SPOKE WITH[XXX]AT EXT [XXX]. HE SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE PROBLEM NOR WERE THEY AWARE OF IT! (I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE AS THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN ON THE INTERNET VIA FORUMS, YOUTUBE AND OTHER LOCATIONS.) HE INSTRUCTED ME TO GO TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEN THE DEALER COULD CALL THEM BACK TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEM TO DETERMINE WHAT ACTION IF ANY THEY WOULD DO. AFTER I INFORMED MARK I WAS DRAFTING AN EMAIL TO THE NTSB HE SAID HE WOULD ESCALATE MY CASE TO A SUPERVISOR. I TRIED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR HOWEVER THEY WERE TOO BUSY AT THE TIME. MY NISSAN CASE IS #[XXX]. MY VIN IS #[XXX]. CAN YOU ASSIST WITH GETTING SERIOUS ANSWERS TO THIS PROBLEM AND DIGGING INTO

I'VE HAD A PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED MANY TIMES BY FELLOW MURANO OWNERS. AFTER DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THEN SLOWING WAY DOWN FOR TRAFFIC OR WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY THE THROTTLE BECOMES VERY UNRESPONSIVE. IT LAGS AND THEN SURGES. THIS PROBLEM WAS APPARENT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS LAST YEAR. THIS ALSO OCCURS OCCASIONALLY IN CITY TRAFFIC, WHEN I AM SLOWING TO A STOP NEAR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. (FAIL SAFE MODE?) RECYCLING THE IGNITION FIXES THE PROBLEM, AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER, BUT THE NISSAN DEALER THAT SERVICES MY CAR HAS NOT INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE DETECTED ANY PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS ARE BEGINNING TO GIVE OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DRIVER'S SIDE THE SEAT WOULD ROCK BACK AND FORTH. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BRACKET WAS BROKEN. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED IN REFERENCE TO THE DEFECT BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE AND BATTERY SENSOR WARNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BECAME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE FRAME, CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT AND NOT REMAIN IN A SECURE POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE SEAT BRACKET WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48000.

BACK LEFT SIDE OF DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING. AT THE TIME, LUCKY FOR ME, I DID HAVE SOME RECENTLY PURCHASED ITEMS PLACED ON THE BACK FLOORBOARD AREA WHICH "LESSENED" THE AMOUNT THE SEAT COULD DROP. THE ITEMS WERE REMOVED AND I WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE UNTIL FURTHER DRIVING. EXCESSIVE ROCKING ON TURNS AND ON LOCAL ROADS (TO INCLUDE DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOT ENTRANCES, SPEED BUMPS ETC). DRIVERS SEAT STABILITY IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY NECESSITY. RECALL THIS FAULTY ITEM!!!!!!!! AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS OCCURRING TOO FREQUENTLY AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT? *TR

I HEARD A SNAP AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS NOW LEANING TO THE LEFT AGAINST THE DRIVER'S DOOR. IT ROCKS WHEN CAR MAKES A RIGHT TURN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 MURANO. I WAS DRIVING ROAD AND MY DRIVERS SEAT DROP TO THE LEFT SIDE. THIS ALMOST THREW ME IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAD TO SWIRL TO KEEP FROM HITTING A CAR. I HAD MY KID IN THE CAR WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAS THIS HAPPEN TO ME. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR NISSAN TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVE. *TR

I SAT DOWN IN MY DRIVER SEAT AND THE SEAT BROKE. *TR

THE SEAT BASED WELD FAILED ON THE LEFT REAR CORNER CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE MANY, MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS REPORTED ON THE WEB. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CONDITION AS IT RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I OPENED THE DOOR OF MY CAR AND SAT DOWN IN MY SEAT TO LEAVE AND HEARD A LOUD BANGING SOUND AND MY SEAT FELL BACK. I GOT OUT TO LOOK, BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AT FIRST. AS I DROVE DOWN THE RODE MY SEAT WOULD ROCK BACK AND FORTH WHEN I HIT BUMPS. IT WAS THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT. WHEN I GOT HOME, I GOT A FLASHLIGHT AND LOOKED UNDER MY SEAT, WHERE I NOTICED THE METAL FRAME WAS BROKEN IN HALF. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE WHERE I FOUND THAT IT IS VERY COMMON IN NISSAN MURANO'S 2003-2007. MY CAR HAS 91,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

BOUGHT THE CAR, USED IN 2009. FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS CHARGERS IN CAR DID NOT WORK. WITHIN LAST SIX MONTHS FUEL GAUGE BECAME INACCURATE. THERE WAS ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE THE CAR JUST STOPPED, WILL LOOK FOR DETAILS. BUT 9/24/13 DRIVING UP A HILL, CAR CAME OUT OF GEAR AND STOPPED WORKING. THE PART THAT WAS ULTIMATELY REPLACED WAS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL-PART NUMBER 24820-CC20A. APPARENTLY, PANEL WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH TRANSMISSION PROPERLY. DEALER CHARGED US $1150 TO REPLACE. NEITHER SERVICE MANAGER OR SERVICE COORDINATOR HAS SEEN ONE WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY. YES, INTERNET FULL OF COMMENTS ABOUT ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND INSTRUMENT PANEL. THESE FAILURES APPEAR TO BE THE RESULT OF FAULTY SOLDERING OR WELDING OF CONNECTIONS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME FAILURE. CHAIR BECAME VERY WOBBLY AND MY WIFE ALMOST CRASHED THE VEHICLE. SHE HAD TO STOP THE CAR, LOWER THE SEAT TO THE VERY LOWEST TO FLATTEN OUT THE WOBBLE, THEN SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. DRIVING THIS WAS COMPROMISES HER ABILITY TO SIT UP HIGHER AND SEE MORE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. REPLACEMENT FOR THE SEAT 1200-1800, JUST THE FRAME ALONE IS 800. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON MY MURANO CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND I CAN'T BELIEVE NISSAN WON'T STEP UP TO FIX THE ISSUE. WHAT'S WORSE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU $400 PER VISOR TO FIX THE ISSUE. WHY WON'T THE NHTSA STEP IN TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED? *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT COMES OFF THE TRACK THAT IT IS INSTALLED ON- THIS CREATES QUITE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR A DRIVER AS WHEN THEY GO AROUND A CORNER THEIR SEAT ACTUALLY MOVES. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY NISSAN HAS NOT DONE A RECALL AND HAD THE SITUATION REPLACED OR REPAIRED. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TRACK THE SEAT IS ON CRACKS OR WHAT OCCURS, BUT THE SEAT COMES OFF THE TRACK AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET BACK ON- I HAVE HAD REPAIR ESTIMATES OVER $700 TO FIX THIS. IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVERS AND CAN IMPACT THEIR DRIVING ABILITY AND POSSIBLY CREATE AN ACCIDENT. *JS

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND A LOUD NOISE HAPPENED. DRIVER SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT AND AS YOU MAKE TURNS IT MOVES BACK AND FOURTH. VERY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WEARING MY SEAT BELT NOW. IF I WAS TO GET INTO A ACCIDENT THE WHOLE SEAT WOULD GO FLYING WITH ME.

COMPLAINED TO NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. COMPLAINED AT A LATER DATE AND WAS TOLD COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE BUT NO RECALL AND IF I WANTED TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE GAS SYSTEM I COULD WHICH WOULD COST APPROX. $1000.00. WHEN I GET GAS I HAVE TO GET IT WHEN I AM GOING HOME SO I CAN SHOWER DUE TO GAS SPRAYING ON ME WHILE PUMPING GAS. ALMOST EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS IT STOPS LIKE IT IS FULL AND GAS SPEWS BACK. CONSTANTLY HAVE TO MOVE GAS HOSE AROUND AND THE GAS NOZZLE TO TRY TO GET GAS. I HAVE TO HAVE AN EXTRA SET OF CLOTHES IN MY CAR BECAUSE THE GAS SMELL MAKES ME SICK. ONE TIME I WAS SICK ALL DAY VOMITING BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, I HEARD A CRACK UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AFTERWARDS THE SEAT NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND LIFTS UP WHEN MAKING TURNS. I HAVE SEARCHED ALL OVER THE WEB AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH NISSAN DRIVERS SIDE SEATS ON SOME OF THEIR VEHICLES TO THE POINT THAT THEY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FACT THAT NISSAN IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I DRIVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND IT ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES ON IT. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WITH THE SEAT BRACKET LIFTER LINK ASSEMBLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT WAS NOT SECURED TO THE FRAME AND REMAINED IN A TILTED POSITION DUE TO THE FRACTURED SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM MY SONS SCHOOL IN AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CRACKING SOUND AND THE CAR WAS JERKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 10 MILES AN HOUR IN A 45 ZONE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE INTO SAFE HAVEN. IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR NISSAN AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF SOMEONE WHO IS LESS EXPERIENCED OR IN AN EVEN MORE UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO THEM! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THE SEAT BELT ALSO BECAME ABNORMALLY TIGHT AROUND HER CHILD. AS A RESULT, THE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE CHILD AND AVOID SUFFOCATION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHILD HAD BRUISES ON HIS STOMACH BUT WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

CURRENTLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING HOSE. MASSIVE LEAK AND USING A BOTTLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID EVERY COUPLE DAYS. I HAVE READ AND REVIEWED A MINIMUM OF 100 COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL MY POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WELL ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH DURING A RAIN STORM. I WAS VERY CLOSE TO GOING IN THE DITCH. THIS IS NOT A $50 FIX BUT A $450 FIX AND A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCURING. I WOULD BE FINE IF IT WAS A CLAMP THAT CAME LOSE OR A BEARING WAS LEAKING BUT FOR 100'S OF HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINES TO BE FAULTY IS A FACTORY MALFUNCTION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THANK YOU *TT

BOUGHT CAR USED IN MAY 2013. AUGUST 14 GOT INTO CAR IN MORNING FOR WORK AND SEAT FELT WOBBLY. WHEN I LEFT WORK AND GOT INTO CAR SEAT LEANED BACK AND TOWARDS DRIVERS DOOR. IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO MECHANICS SHOP AND WAS THEN TOLD THE SEAT SUPPORT HAD BROKEN AGAIN. HAD BEEN WELDED ONCE BEFORE AND WELD BROKE. WHEN LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT SEAT READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT NISSAN HAD MADE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT WAS A SOLID PIECE OF METAL THAT CORRECTED THE "Y" SHAPED BRACKET THAT HAS BROKEN REPEATEDLY ON MANY CARS USUALLY @ 75,000 MILES. NISSAN DID NOT GIVE THIS PIECE TO THE MURANOS OWNERS, INSTEAD SOLD IT TO THEM. FURIOUS AND DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN FOR NOT HAVING A RECALL. PEOPLE COULD DIE IF THEY WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I WAS ROUNDING A CURVE IN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND MY SEAT TRACK BROKE! I KNOW THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE VIA INTERNET RESEARCH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, MY SEAT WOULD FAIL COMPLETELY AND I'D BE BADLY INJURED OR AT WORST HURLED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD!! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!! FURTHERMORE, I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS!! ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT FOR A GRAPHIC DEATH BEFORE YOU FIX THIS ISSUE. IF YOU GOOGLE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, I'M SURE YOU'LL SEE IT CONSTITUTES A RECALL! *TR

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE, FUEL FLOAT OR FUEL MONITORING SYSTEM. I FILLED UP THE CAR AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY. IT WILL ERRATICALLY SHOW DIFFERENT FUEL LEVELS RANGING ANYWHERE FROM EMPTY TO HALF-FULL TO FULL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT. AFTER DOING A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THEIR ARE MULTIPLE ENTRIES FOR THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS. *TR

I TRIED TO PARK MY CAR IN A PARKING. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK; IT WOULD GO NO FURTHER THAN NEUTRAL GEAR. AS A RESULT, BECAUSE I COULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE I HAD TO DRIVE OVER A MEDIAN TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT. I SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE ENDEMIC WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHY HAVE YOU NOT ORDERED NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL? *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE LEFT WELD BRACKET BROKE ON MY SEAT. NO ROT OR RUST. A SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECT. THE SEAT MOVES ALL AROUND AND IS NOT SECURED TO THE VEHICLES FRAME ANY LONGER. IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD NOT KEEP DRIVER SAFE. HOW ON EARTH IS THIS NOT A RECALLED ISSUE ??!!!! I SUPPOSE YOUR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. *TR
