2006 Nissan Murano complaints

THE BRACKET HOLDING THE DRIVER SEAT UP BROKE WHILE SITTING IN A PARKING LOT. IT MADE A SNAPPING SOUND AND LURCHED DOWN IN THE REAR AND TO THE LEFT, CAUSING ME TO LEAN INTO THE DOOR. NOW THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE I DRIVE/ACCELERATE/DECELERATE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE PART OF THE BRACKET THAT BROKE WAS A POORLY DESIGNED V SHAPED PUNCHED METAL LINK WHICH DEVELOPED STRESS FRACTURES AT THE WEAK POINTS. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH MURANOS '03-'08, AND IS ADDRESSED UNDER A TSB, HOWEVER A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND COMBINED WITH OTHER DEFECTIVE ISSUES SUCH AS A LEAKING STEERING RACK AND DRIVER VISOR WHICH REFUSES TO STAY UP, I AM NOT LIKELY TO EVER OWN A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER'S POWER SEAT FRAME BROKEN. SEAT TILTS TO THE LEFT AND NOT SECURELY FASTENED TO FLOOR. SAFETY CONCERN AS FRAME SNAPPED AND BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. SAFETY CONCERN IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT . THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PART NEEDED TO FIX SEAT. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE MODELS IN 2003---2007. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. * JS

THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT SOMEHOW BROKE UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT SIDE AND WOBBLES TO THE FRONT AND BACK. THEREFORE HAVING TO ACCELERATE, DECELERATE, TURN CORNERS AND GO OVER ROUGH ROAD CAUSES THE SEAT TO MOVE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THIS IS A NISSAN DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL NOTICE AND CORRECTED BY NISSAN FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SEAT AND FOR MANY, THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE SOME OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WHICH FLOPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN RETURNED TO IT'S NORMAL PLACE, IT WILL FALL DOWN. THIS CAUSES ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THE VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED AND AN ACCIDENT COULD VERY WELL OCCUR. PLEASE ADDRESS THESE DESIGN FLAWS FOR RECALLS. *TR

OUR NISSAN MURANO HAS A DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR THAT FAILS TO REMAIN UP WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, THIS IS NOT ONLY A SURPRISE, IT BLOCKS OUR VIEW SUDDENLY. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE IT EVEN WITH OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE KNOW IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WE HAVE REMOVED IT FROM THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED AT THE SAME TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT WALL WHILE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PARK. THE CONTACT THOUGHT THAT THE FAILURE WAS A DRIVER'S ERROR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V169000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE DEALER PROVIDED SPEAR, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS DAMAGED AND CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO GRIP AT 50 MPH. THE WHEELS WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP IF I HAD CONTINUED DRIVING AT THAT RATE OF SPEED. THIS IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION, BECAUSE THE DEALER PROVIDED SPEAR IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE (AWD/SUV). I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE IF THE WHEELS HAD LOCKED UP COMPLETELY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR IN TRAFFIC. I AM A NURSE AT AN ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL AND I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *JS

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO S THE SEAT WAS LOOSE WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR. IT APPEARS A METAL BRACKET BROKE ABOUT THE CONNECTION POINT TO THE SEAT . THIS LITTLE PIECE OF METAL L-BRACKET HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABILITY FOR THE SEAT TO RISE AND LOWER. SINCE IT HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DOESN'T COVER IT BECAUSE THEY SAY THE SEAT BRACKET IS NOT A SAFETY ITEM. I NOW HAVE A SEAT THAT ROCKS AND MOVES AROUND WHILE DRIVING/TURNING. I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SEVERAL TIMES. IT SEEMS THE SEAT CAN BE FIXED FOR A MERE $1300. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANY CARS FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC IN OVER 40 YEARS OF OWNING A CAR. I CAN'T THINK OF ANY PART FAILURES WHERE THE MANUFACTURER WON'T ADMIT THEIR PART JUST MIGHT NOT BE DESIGNED FOR THE STRESSES IT IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE DURING NORMAL USAGE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW SHOULD THIS GET ANY ATTENTION. HOWEVER FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO USE THE CAR , I FIND THAT I WILL NEED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THAT TO ME IS A PRIORITY EVEN THOUGH NISSAN HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION. *JS

RECENTLY MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISES WHEN GOING UP HILLS AND TURNING CORNERS. AFTER TAKING IT TO A FEW SHOPS WHO SAID IT MIGHT BE THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD ISSUES, I WENT AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS A ELECTRONIC COUPLER ASSEMBLY FAILURE WHICH HAS TO DO WITH MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE CAR IS NOT BALANCING THE LOAD PROPERLY AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THERE IS A 2 MONTH WAITING LIST FOR THIS PART BECAUSE IT HAS GONE BAD IN SO MANY NISSAN VEHICLES. YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AND NO EXTENDED WARRANTY PUT ON IT. THE VEHICLE IS SAID TO BE RELATIVELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT THEY ARE MONTHS OUT ON GETTING PARTS IN FOR IT TO BE FIXED. *JS

DRIVER POWER SEAT UNABLE TO MOVE. GETS STUCK AT ONE LOCATION SO CAN NOT MOVE TO ADJUST FOR PROPER DRIVING LOCATION. ALSO POSSIBLE AIRBAG ISSUE SINCE CAN GET SEAT STUCK UP AGAINST STEERING WHEEL. NO WAY TO ADJUST SEAT ONCE MOTOR STOPS WORKING. EVEN PAID TO GET REPAIRED THE OTHER MONTH AND NOW IT HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. ONLY THING GOOD THIS TIME IS THAT THE SEAT IS STUCK FURTHER BACK AND NOT UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. THAT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. CHECK OUT NISSAN FORUMS TO SEE HOW MANY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVER SEAT MOTORS STOPPING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD REPEATEDLY FALL FROM ITS HOUSING, OBSCURING THE CONTACT'S VISION OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE VISOR UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/05/12 *BF UPDATED 06/07/12 *JS

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BROKE IN 2 SPOTS. METAL FATIGUE LIKELY CAUSE ON THIS CRITICAL COMPONENT. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN. IT FLIPS DOWN ON ITS OWN ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FILING A COMPLAINT FORM. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM MY FIRST COMPLAINT FORM. I WAS ON THE HIGWAY AGAIN AND IT FELL MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THIS ISN'T JUST MY MURANO WITH THIS PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE, I HEARD A POP AND MY SEAT IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE LEFT AND ROCKED BACKWARD. MY FOOT MOVED AWAY FROM THE ACCELERATED AND THERE WAS SOME LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT CONTINUED TO ROCK AS I DROVE. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP, THE CAR LUNGED AND WITH GRAVITY MY SEAT ROCKED BACKWARD DECREASING THE PRESSURE OF MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. I HAVE TO HOLD MYSELF UP ON THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING TO KEEP THE SEAT SOMEWHAT STABLE. IF I HAVE TO MANUEVER A DEEP CURVE EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT IT IS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE WHILE BRACING MYSELF TO KEEP THE SEAT STILL. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SEAT ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE IN THE COMPLAINTS THAT A NISSAN MECHANIC ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND THEY EVEN ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC SAFETY.

DRIVERS (LEFT FRONT) SEAT BRACKET/FRAME BROKE. THE SEAT MOVES DURING TURNS, DECELERATION, ACCELERATION, AND BRAKING. DEALER WANTS $1300 TO REPLACE THE PART. *TR

LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE , I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. I HAD BOUGHT A 2006 MURANO WITH ONLY 28,000 MILES, ALONG WITH BEING THE SECOND OWNER ONLY AND NOT LONG AFTER I HAD IT, THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE!! THEY SAY IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ,YOUR SEAT IS LOOSE!!!!! AND WHAT IF YOU GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE OTHER HALF OF THE SEAT BREAKS AS WELL!!! HOW CAN THEY NOT RECALL THIS PRODUCT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE!!!!??? I LOVE MY CAR BUT VERY UNHAPPY WITH NISSAN THAT THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT !!!! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS FAULTY. THE FIRST TIME I PUT IT DOWN IT WAS VERY TIGHT. THE NEXT TIME I PUT IT DOWN IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING SNAPPED AND NOW THE VISOR HANGS EXTREMELY LOOSE. AS I AM DRIVING, IT CONTINUOUSLY FALLS BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. I KNOW THIS IS NOT DUE TO REGULAR USE AS I HAVE SEEM MANY COMPLAINTS IN DIFFERENT NISSAN FORUMS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE NEXT TOYOTA AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO CRASH AND DIE DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOU ARE NOT RECALLING? *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON CAME UP, SO I WENT TO MY MECHANIC & TOLD ME THAT CODE "PO463" CAME UP & FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED & THAT COST AROUND $800. I CHECK ONLINE & NOTICE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL & TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE....THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

SEAT JUMPS OFF ITS TRACK FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE DRIVING. ON A CURVE OR THROUGH A PUMP ON THE ROAD CAUSES TEMPORARY DISRUPTION OF THE DRIVER'S FOCUS ON THE ROAD THEREBY LOOSING TEMPORARY CONTROL AND INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO FAILED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION DUE TO EMISSIONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND QUOTED FOR REPLACE THE TWO FAILING FUEL SENDING UNITS $99 TO INSPECT + $700 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 SEAT COLLAPSING, WHEEL BEARING GOING OUT, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, STEERING HOSES BRAKING CAUSING FIRE, IN VEHICLES WITH LOW MILEAGE 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. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN VEHICLE. WRITING LETTER TO THE CEO, VICE PRESIDENT TOTAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, VICE PRESIDENT MANUFACTURING QUALITY AND PARTS & SERVICE NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. *TR

DRIVER SEAT START TO MOVE SIDEWAYS, AFTER LOOKING BELOW I HAVE FOUND THE SUPPORT CROSSBAR OF THE FRAME IS BROKEN AT THE END SO THE SEAT NOW LEANS UP AND DOWN, BACK AND FORTH. THE DEALER QUOTES $898 PART +$250 LABOR JUST TO REPLACE THE FRAME. 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 SEAT COLLAPSING, WHEEL BEARING GOING OUT, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, STEERING HOSES BRAKING CAUSING FIRE, IN VEHICLES WITH LOW MILEAGE I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN VEHICLE. *TR

SUN VISOR DRIVER SIDE FAILED TO STAY UP AND SUDDENLY FALLS. THE DEALER QUOTES $300 PART + 150 LABOR JUST TO REPLACE AND DID NOT GUARANTEE IT WON'T FAILED AGAIN. 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WOULD WOBBLE ABNORMALLY AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE SEAT WOULD SPRING FORWARD TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO AN ICE BANK. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

VISOR FALLS INTO VISION WHENEVER YOU HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS, BLOCKING VIEW. I PUSH IT BACK UP AND THE NEXT CRACK IN THE ROAD MAKES IT FALL AGAIN. NISSAN DEALER WANTS OVER $200 TO REPLACE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE SPEED IS. A CRACK OR BUMP IN THE ROAD MAKES IT FALL. *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE LAST TWO TIMES THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS FIXED. THE WHOLE PASSENGER SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED THE SECOND TIME. NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS FLASHING AGAIN. I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT A LOT OF DRIVERS ARE HAVING WITH THEIR MURANO'S AIR BAGS. I HAVE TRIED RESETTING BY TURNING THE CAR "ON" AND "OFF" SEVERAL TIME AND AS WELL AS REMOVING THE BATTERY. NOTHING HAS WORKED, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DEALER TO FIX IT AGAIN.

SEAT BROKE HAD WELDED NO 4 CYLINDER RAN LEAN HAD TO REPLACE PISTON MELTED RAN OUT OF OIL NO WARNING LIGHT. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO, DRIVERS SEAT BROKE AT LEFT REAR RAIL ATTACH POINT. THE SEAT NOW LEANS TO THE LEFT AND CAN BE PULLED UP BY HAND. THE SUPPORT BOLT THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT IS BROKEN, THE DEALERSHIP QUOTES $1200 TO REPAIR/REPLACE AND IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH A NEW ONE. NOT COVERED BY NISSAN, THERE ARE OVER 500 COMPLAINTS 2003-06 MURANO'S ON YOUR SITE. HOW CAN A LOOSE SEAT NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE? *KB

I HAD JUST GOT INTO THE CAR AND WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND I HEARD A CRACK NOISE AND THE DRIVER SEAT JUST FELL BACK AND LEAN BACK TO THE LEFT. THE SEATING NOW JUST FREELY FALLS BACK AND THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. *TR

AS I WAS TURNING, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT COLLAPSED AND SEAT STARTED SHAKING AND WOBBLING TOWARD THE LEFT AND BACKWARD. I MANAGED TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. THE THIN BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT HAD BROKEN. THE SEAT IS MAKING IT HARD TO STEER SINCE IT CAN WOBBLE ANY TIME I MAKE A TURN. SEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART. IT COST APPROXIMATELY $467 TO REPLACE AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL. *TR

FAILURE (METAL SNAPPED) OF SEAT BRACKET ON LEFT REAR OF DRIVER'S SEAT. WENT TO DEALER. DEALER WON'T REPAIR FOR FREE DUE TO OUT OF WARRANTY AND ADVISED THAT NISSAN WON'T REPAIR UNDER GOODWILL. *TR

THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY BASICALLY BLEW OUT OF THIS LOVINGLY USED NISSAN MURANO. THIS CAUSED A POWER STEERING "WHINE" WHEN TURNING AND MADE TURNING DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE. FURTHER DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE BLOW OUT VICE SLOW BREAK IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED THE AMOUNT OF POWER STEERING FLUID AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM. NATURALLY, AS THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY, NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER COST NOR CONSIDER A REDUCTION IN REPAIR/REPLACEMENT FEES. THIS IS A BIG-TIME HISTORICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND YEAR OF THIS NISSAN. LOCAL DEALERSHIPS SAY THAT THEY REPLACE ABOUT TWO OF THESE PER WEEK ON AVERAGE, AND THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SIMILAR STORIES OF REPAIRS COSTING IN EXCESS OF $600. THIS REPAIR COST ME A TOTAL OF $650 DOLLARS AND A REAL LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THE NISSAN PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND I HEARD A CRACK NOISE AND THE DRIVER SEAT JUST FELL BACK AND LEAN BACK TO THE LEFT. THE SEATING JUST FREELY FALLS BACK. I PULLED OVER AND LOOK UNDERNEATH AND SAW THAT THERE IS THIS LITTLE BAR, SLIMMER THAN MY PINKY FINGER, WHICH WAS SUPPORT THE SEAT BROKE. WHEN I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED, I WAS SHOCKED TO WHAT I SAW, A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.THIS EXPERIENCE WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. TO KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY BAR SUPPORTING THE SEAT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT, I AM REALLY SHOCKED AND REALLY HOPE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE FOR NISSAN TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR SOME PEOPLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, STEERING LEVEL SENSOR AND THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V401000 (STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE) OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) DID AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,430 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000. UPDATED 03/16/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED A MONTH AFTER THE FUEL TANK AND SENSOR WAS FIXED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT SENSOR WAS READING AN ERROR. UPDATED 0604/12

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MILES PER HOURS THE SUN DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY LOWERED FROM THE "UP" POSITION, COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY THEN THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION AT ALL. I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR IN ORDER TO SEE, BUT I AM THEN BLINDED BY THE SUN AT TIMES CREATING AN EQUALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE VISOR, JUST A FORCED REPLACEMENT AT $300.00. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS SEAT LEFT SIDE CAME LOOSE FROM BRACKET., AFTER SEARCHING ON INTERNET AND FINDING OUT NISSAN WILL DO NOTHING TO REPAIR FOR FREE OR RECALL THIS DEFECT I AM FORCED TO FIND ANOTHER REPAIR ,OPTION SINCE REPAIR COST AROUND A 1,000.00. *TR

LEFT REAR ANCHOR/ BRACKET BROKEN AT WELDS CAUSING TILTING OF DRIVER SEAT TO LEFT REAR WHEN WEIGHT APPLIED. *TR

LIFTGATE LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM WILL NOT ENGAGE WITH REMOTE OR FROM OUTSIDE BUTTON. ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IS TO JUMP INTO CAR AND MANUALLY UNLOCK IT FROM INSIDE (AFTER REMOVING PANEL FOR LOCK MECHANISM). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF AND STOP PUMPING FUEL WHENEVER SHE REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE BEEN READING, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT GAS IN MY MURANO I'M UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN BY THE NOZZLE. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET A FULL TANK OF GAS IS TO KEEP CLICKING CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL IT'S FULL. HOWEVER, NOW I HAVE A LOT OF BACK SPLASH OF GAS AND TO ME THIS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHERS. NISSAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT OR DEATH. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURED PROBLEM THEN IT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY AND RESPECTIVELY. I WENT BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THE PROBLEM AND THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS GIVEN TO TRY DIFFERENT PUMPS, HOLD THE TRIGGER GENTLY, AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE IT WILL DO THIS MORE OFTEN. WHAT TYPE OF RESOLUTION IS THIS?????? *TR

DRIVER SEAT FRAME OR ATTACHMENT TO TRACK IS BROKEN. HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR A LONG AMOUNT OF TIME. FIRST NOTICED AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING VEHICLE IN 2008. DEALER WANTS @ 1000.00 TO REPAIR. WAS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. CAR FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO SEAT THIS YEAR. CANNOT AFFORD REPAIR AT THIS TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN UPRIGHT AND WAS OBSTRUCTING HER VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 58,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONSUMER STATED HER VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 16, 2011. UPDATED 01/18/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACKWARDLY WITHOUT INTENT. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUPPORT BRACKET FRACTURED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,300.

WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A POP AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT DROPPED DOWN AND BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SEAT FRAME BRACKET WAS BROKEN AND WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR (NOT IN WARRANTY) AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $800 FOR THE PART, AS THE BRACKET WOULD ONLY BE SOLD AS PART OF THE ENTIRE MOTOR ASSEMBLY. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BEGAN SWINGING DOWN AND BLOCKING VISION INTERMITTENTLY DURING HIGH SPEED TRAVEL AND BUMPY CONDITIONS. THE VISOR HAS CONTINUED TO DEGRADE AND SWINGS DOWN UNDER ALMOST ANY MOVEMENT. I HAD A QUOTE FROM A MECHANIC TO REPLACE THIS ITEM, BUT THE COST SEEMS EXCESSIVE. THE VISOR IS CURRENTLY HELD IN PLACE WITH DUCT TAPE/ VELCRO, BUT THE HOME FIX IS NOT EFFECTIVE OR LONG LASTING. *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY; LOOKED OVER LEFT SHOULDER TO CHANGE LANES AND HEARD LOUD POP. SEAT FELL BACK AND TO THE LEFT UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS DID CAUSE ME TO GO INTO ANOTHER LANE - THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE THERE AT THAT TIME. FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE THE SEAT BOUNCED UP AND DOWN AND MOVED FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. NISSAN DOES SELL A "BRACKET" TO HELP REINFORCE THIS BUT IT IS OVER $1000.00 OR YOU CAN BUY THE SEAT BRAND NEW FOR $2-3,000. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE HEAT/ELECTRIC TO THE SEAT. THESE PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE LABOR EITHER. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME EVERY DAY AND I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT END IN AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS THAT EVENTUALLY IT MAY END THAT WAY FOR SOMEONE THOUGH. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL? DOES SOMEONE TRULY NEED TO LOOSE THEIR LIFE IN ORDER FOR A RECALL TO HAPPEN? WHEN YOU SPEND THIS MUCH ON A LUXURY VEHICLE YOU EXPECT IT TO STAND UP AND THE MAKER BEHIND IT TO STAND BEHIND IT!!! I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AT THIS TIME WITH HOW NISSAN IS HANDLING THIS. *TR

BROKEN SEAT TRACK FROM NO KNOWN CAUSE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND IT, REASON, OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

POWER STEERING HOSE IS LEAKING, POWER STEERING FLUID IS FLAMMABLE. UPON DOING RESEARCH NUMEROUS NISSAN MURANO OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME DEFECT. REPAIR COST IS BETWEEN $400-500. IF THE MANIFOLD WERE TO GET HOT ENOUGH AND POWER STEERING FLUID CAME INTO CONTACT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE DROP; MOSTLY OCCURS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, IF THE ROAD IS A LITTLE BUMPY IT FALLS DOWN A LOT! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURS SO OFTEN AND I LIVE IN A BIGGER CITY AND DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM OF TRAFFIC ON A REGULAR BASIS, IT CAUSES MY LINE OF SIGHT TO BE EXTREMELY OBSTRUCTED AS I AM A TALLER PERSON AND ALREADY HAVE MY SEAT DOWN AS LOW AS POSSIBLE AND CANNOT SEE ANYTHING WHEN THE VISOR DROPS. *TR

REPLACE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A HIGHLY PROBLEM WILL ALL NISSAN MURANO I KNOW MORE THAN 6 PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT YEAR MURANO . NOT COVERED UNDER REGULAR WARRANTY *TT
