2006 Nissan Murano complaints

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, I HEARD A LOUD POP, AND FELT THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVE BACK AND TO THE LEFT. I PULLED OVER NOT LONG AFTER THAT TO TAKE A LOOK, AND NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE BRACKETS UNDER THE SEAT HAD SHEARED OFF. THE SEAT NOW LEANS TO THE LEFT AND WILL ROCK BACK AND FORTH WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR RUNNING OVER BUMPS. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT, LEFT SIDE BECAME LOOSE AND SEEMS THAT FRAME/BRACKET ON THE BOTTOM IS BROKE. *TR

A FEW DAYS BEFORE AUG 31ST THE MURANO STARTED SLIPPING GEARS. IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP ON AUG 31ST WHERE THE ERROR CODE, STEPPER CODE, CAME UP WHICH IS PART OF THE CVT, THE TRANSMISSION. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY AGAIN, THE CONTROL MODULE, AND THE WIRE HARNESS, NONE OF WHICH HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. WE ARE 10 WEEKS IN THE SHOP AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. A NISSAN ENGINEER IS NOW COMING OUT TO LOOK AT IT WANTING TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY FOR THE THIRD TIME. THEY HAVE REPLACED THIS NOW GOING ON THREE TIMES WITH NEW PARTS AND IT IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS NOT A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE ANYMORE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME LAST WEEK THAT WE WOULD HAVE RESOLUTION, WHETHER THIS WAS A BUYBACK OR WHATEVER BY LAST FRIDAY. LAST FRIDAY THEY CALLED AND NOW THEY ARE NOW FLYING IN AN ENGINEER, THIS IS NOT A RESOLUTION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR GOING ON 10 WEEKS NOW AND I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN NOT TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING - DRIVING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL. DRIVER SIDE SEAT SUDDENLY FELL ON THE LEFT SIDE. INJURING MY BACK. THE SEAT BRACKET ON THE LEFT REAR SEEMS TO BE CRACKED/BROKEN. THE SEATS ROCKS FORCEFULLY WITHOUT NOTICE UP AND DOWN EVEN ON SLIGHT TURNS. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR ON A VERY HIGH ELEVATED FREEWAY TURN AS WHEN I TURNED TO THE LEFT, THE SEAT ABRUPTLY CAME UP TURNING MY BODY TO THE RIGHT - THAT MOVEMENT MADE ME THEN SUDDENLY PULL DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH THEN FORCED THE CAR TO SUDDENLY SWERVE TO THE LEFT. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE NEXT TO ME AND I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ON A HIGHER SPEED FREEWAY TURN RAMP, THERE WOULD BE A HIGH CHANCE THAT THEY WOULD LOOSE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, DEPENDING ON ROADWAY AND SPACE/DESIGN. THE CAR IS NOW VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS YOU HAVE TO TRY AND BALANCE YOURSELF USING YOUR LEFT LEG/FOOT PULLED UP TO SEAT. WHEN CORNERING YOU HAVE TO PUT SO MUCH ATTENTION ON TRYING NOT TO SWERVE AS THE SEAT RISES & DROPS YOU DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY YOU ARE TURNING. THE RISING AND DROPPING ON TURNS, NATURALLY PULLS OR PUSHES YOUR BODY WHICH IS HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL - THIS THEN CAUSES A SEVERE SUDDEN PULL ONE OR THE OTHER WAY. IT ALSO TAKES YOUR ATTENTION OFF THE ROAD AND SURROUNDINGS. IN CONCLUSION, WHEN RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE SEEN THIS UNDER DEFECTS BUT NO RECALL. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS POORLY DESIGNED LOWER SEAT FRAME AND ONE DAY THIS WILL E

2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 57,000 MILES ON IT. VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I NOTICED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR WAS LOW AND REFILLED IT. LEAKAGE IDENTIFIED BY STAIN ON PARKING. DEALER DETERMINED THAT CAUSE OF THE LEAK IS A FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON CASE. DEALER CHARGED $550 TO INSTALL A NEW HOSE. NISSAN REFUSE TO REIMBURSE IT. NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THIS PART ARE DOCUMENTED ON WEB FORUMS, NHTSA SITE, AS WELL AS BEING COMMON KNOWLEDGE AMONG THE MECHANICS NETWORK. I WONDER IF IT IS NOT A MANUFACTURING/MATERIAL PROBLEM OF THE PART. CONCERN IS THAT TOTAL FAILURE CAN CAUSE A SURPRISE LOSS OF STEERING RESULTING IN A CRASH AND/ OR CAUSE A FIRE CAUSE IS VERY CLOSE TO THE ENGINE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE ASAP. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR OF 2006 NISSAN MURANOS. I HAVE FOUND FORUMS WITH MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM THAT I AM OF 2006 AND OTHER MODEL YEARS WHERE IT FAILS TO STAY UP. THE TENSION OR SPRING IN THE SUN VISOR IS GONE JUST LIKE THAT AND IT FALLS AND BLOCKS VISION WHILE DRIVING. IT FALLS JUST DRIVING REGULARLY, AND ALTHOUGH DRIVERS NEED VISION ALWAYS AND CONSTANTLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, IT ALSO FALLS AT TIMES THAT ARE MOST DANGEROUS WHEN VISION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, I.E. ANY DRIVING ON ROUGH SURFACES, ANY MANEUVERING TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, UNEVEN ROADWAYS, UNEXPECTED BRAKING OR EVEN JUST TURNING. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CONSUMERS OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT THAT NISSAN QUOTES WHEN REPORTING THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WARRANTY ABOUT SUN VISORS OR PROBLEMS IMPACTING VISIBILITY. THE SEAT BELT IS A SAFETY ITEM AND IS COVERED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, 120 MONTHS (10 YEARS)! THE SUN VISOR BLOCKING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING SHOULD BE ALONG THE SAME LINES AS THAT REGARDING WARRANTY, AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS IT IS OR ISN'T. I AM DEALING WITH NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT NOW BUT DO NOT HAVE HOPES OF GETTING THIS RESOLVED WITH THEM. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A VERY EXPENSIVE BALLAST FOR THE DRIVER SIDE HID BULB (COST ONLY MITIGATED BY BUYING USED), THE FUEL SENSOR, HAVE A RATTLING WINDOW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT THE DEALER FIXED BUT THE FIX DIDN'T LAST, AND HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THE

MY HUSBAND NOTICED AROUND 65,000 MILES THAT THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T STAY UP. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. PROBABLY EVERY FIVE MINUTES OF DRIVING. IF THE ROAD IS BUMPY, FORGET IT. IT JUST SLAMS DOWN, AFFECTING MY LINE OF SIGHT. MY FATHER IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR, BECAUSE OF IT. ALL I CAN DO IS FLIP BACK UP AND TURN IT TO A SLIGHT ANGLE. PAYING 300 DOLLARS FOR A NEW VISOR IS UNREALISTIC. EVERY NISSAN FORUM SAYS THEY JUST BREAK AGAIN. I'M THINKING OF BUYING A DIFFERENT CAR, BECAUSE OF IT. *KB

BROKEN SEAT FRAME "DRIVERS SIDE REAR OF THE SEAT". NO INCIDENT I'M AWARE OF, JUST BROKEN. STEEL STRAP BROKEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRAP NOT AT THE CONNECTION POINTS. 64K MILES. *TR

POWER STEERING PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN THE MURANO. THERE ARE LOADS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS WHICH COULD RESULT IN KILLING SOMEONE.I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT REGARDS THE SUNVISORS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CURRENT SUNVISOR FAILS TO STAY UP (PARALLEL WITH VEHICLE ROOF) OR CANTED. IT FALLS CONSTANTLY, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE ROADWAY FOR DRIVERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONFIGURATION OF THE VISOR IS SUCH THAT IT IS LIKELY TO FALL WHEN DRIVER'S NEED THEIR VISION THE MOST-- UPON HITTING UNEVEN OR ROCKY PAVEMENT, STRIKING DEBRIS IN THE ROAD, OR MAKING NECESSARY EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD WITH NISSAN MURANOS, AS SEVERAL FORUMS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE ARE VISIBLE ON THE INTERNET. ONE SUCH FORUM IS NISSANMURANO.ORG. THE SITE LISTS APPROXIMATELY ELEVEN PAGES OF CAR OWNERS AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CURRENT REMEDY SUGGESTED BY NISSAN IS A $500 REPLACEMENT VISOR, WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS FIGURE SEEMS UNREASONABLE FOR THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM, ITS WIDESPREAD OCCURRENCE, AND THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF HAVING AN INTERNAL VEHICLE ACCESSORY FALL OVER THE EYES OF THE DRIVER AT ANY MOMENT. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE, KNOWN DEFECT, SAFETY HAZARD

SUN VISOR ON 2006 NISSAN MURONO WILL NOT STAY UP. FALLS DOWN AND BLOCKS VISION. *TT

BROKEN DRIVER'S SEAT ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WAS TOLD IT NEEDED REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $1200, $900 IF USED PLUS SHIPPING & LABOR. HAD IT WELDED FOR $300 BUT SERIOUSLY AFRAID THE WELD WILL NOT HOLD. *KB

MY 2006 MURANO WAS BOUGHT USED, SHORTLY AFTER BUYING, I HAD DIFFICULTY PUTTING GAS INTO IT, PUMP KEPT SHUTTING OFF, IT ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY, SO I DID NOTHING ABOUT IT, BUT DID LOOK IT UP TO SEE THERE WAS A "SERVICE BULLETIN" NOW EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS IT WILL DO THIS, SO I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT IT TO GET THIS FIXED, AS I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY OTHERS W/ THIS SAME PROBLEM, IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE GAS WOULD SPILL BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON THE GROUND, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO, FRONT SEAT BROKE LOOSE IN LEFT REAR CORNER WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN A STORE PARKING LOT. CAUSED MY BODY TO SUDDENLY SHIFT IN THE SEAT AND DROP BACK. LUCKY THIS WASN'T ON A QUICK CURVE OR AT HIGHWAY SPEED - COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. NUMEROUS ON-LINE FORUMS ABOUND WITH COMPLAINTS OF THE DRIVER SEAT BREAKING LOOSE IN THIS WAY. *TR

ON JUNE 25TH, 2011, I GOT INTO MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO (THE MILEAGE IS ONLY AT: 47,228) TO FIND MY DRIVER'S-SIDE SEAT HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR ON THE BACK LEFT SIDE. THE CHAIR ISN'T 'A LITTLE LOOSE'-IT COMES COMPLETELY OFF THE FLOOR ON THAT SIDE. WHEN I MADE A BROAD LEFT TURN ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FELT THE SEAT TILT UNDERNEATH ME AND, EVEN THOUGH I WAS DRIVING VERY CAREFULLY, IT STILL SCARED ME. I GRIPPED THE WHEEL TIGHTLY BUT BECAUSE MY BODY WAS BEING SENT TO THE RIGHT, THE CAR WENT THAT DIRECTION AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE, BUT HAD I TAKEN THE TURN FASTER AND NOT BEEN AWARE THAT MY SEAT MIGHT SHIFT, IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME COMPLETELY BY SURPRISE AND I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN THE CIVIC NEXT TO ME. I WENT ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, TOO MANY OF WHICH DETAIL HOW THE SEAT BROKE WHILE THE DRIVER WAS TAKING A TURN OR COMING TO A STOP, AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO SWERVE INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC, JERK THE CAR ONTO A SIDEWALK NEARLY HITTING PEDESTRIANS, OR CAUSED THEM TO DROP BACK SO HARD THEY SLAM THEIR SHOULDER AND HEAD INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR (PLEASE SEE WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/NISSAN/MURANO/SEAT TO SEE JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUT IN DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF THIS BRACKET DEFECT). AND THAT IS JUST ONE WEBSITE FULL OF ANGRY CONSUMERS THAT CANNOT BELIEVE THE DANGER THEY WERE PUT IN, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE NISSAN KNOWS THIS BRACKET IS DEFECTIVE IN FIVE YEARS WORTH OF MURANO MODELS (20

ONE WEEK AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SUDDENLY BROKE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT SCARED ME AND I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE FRAME BROKE IN THE REAR LEFT SECTION OF THE FRAME. THE SEAT NOW BOUNCES REARWARD. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A TERRIBLE HAZARD. I SEE NUMEROUS OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD OR ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE. LIVES COULD BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS HAZARD. *KB

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ON MY 2006 NISAN MURANO SUDDENLY BROKE. THE FRAME BROKE IN THE REAR LEFT SECTION OF THE FRAME. THE SEAT NOW BOUNCES REARWARD. TO TEMPORARILY STABILIZE THE SEAT, I HAVE WEDGED A PIECE OF WOOD BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY THE BREAK OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY. HAD IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING A CORNER, VEHICLE CONTROL COULD HAVE BEEN LOST. *TT

DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR BEGAN TO DROP WHEN CAR HITS A BUMP, GOING OVER ROUGH ROADS AND AT RANDOM TIMES. NOW IT DROPS ALL THE TIME CAUSING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER TO BE BLOCKED AND CAUSING POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE EXTENDED WARRENTY BUT ITS NOT COVERED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WOULD COST $520.00. THIS ISSUE MUST BE SOLVED FOR SAFETY REASONS. WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS NISSAN SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL. *TT

RIGHT NOW I HAVE A PIECE OF WOOD SUPPORTING THE SEAT SO I CAN GET IT TO DEALERSHIP. WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO, AND YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT AND THE SEAT BROKE. THIS IS THE SAME COMPLAINT AS EVERY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNER HAS HAD APPARENTLY. THE BACK LEFT PART OF THE SEAT BROKE. NISSAN WANTS $1000 TO FIX A FAULTY PART. MY WIFE IS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT GOTTEN INTO A WREAK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO SL DRIVERS SEAT MOTOR FAILED IN CAR WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. AS A RESULT, I CANNOT REACH THE GAS OR BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE PILLOWS TO GET ME TO THE PEDALS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN IN JULY 2010 AND ALSO IN JUNE 2011. RESEARCH ON CAR FORUMS SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT. THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - ESTIMATE IS $1200. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE SEATS. *TR

1DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR DROPS WHEN CAR HITS A BUMP, GOING OVER ROUGH ROADS AND AT RANDOM TIMES. IT DROPS IN THE VISION OF THE DRIVER CAUSING POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. THIS ISSUE MUST BE SOLVED FOR SAFETY REASONS. WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS NISSAN SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL. *KB

AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

SUN VISOR KEEPS DROPPING DOWN WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT BLOCKS THE ABILITY TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN MURANO BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT (LIKE A RECALL). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD IT BOUNCED AND SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING FOR A MOMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE LOCAL MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE IN THE LOWER CONTROL BUSHING ARM. THE BRAKES ALSO FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY WHEN THEY WERE APPLIED. . THE MANUFACTURER FILED REPORT 7198074 AND DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

THERE WAS NO EVENT THAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM. DRIVER'S SEAT HAS A ROCKING BACK AND FORTH MOTION AT THE LEFT REAR. IT APPEARS NHTSA HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY, BUT THE PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR. *TR

THERE WAS NO EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. I SIMPLY GOT INTO MY CAR AND NOTED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY ROCKED BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WAS OFF TRACK OR HAD COME UNBOLTED FROM THE BASE. WHILE DRIVING THE SEAT WAS UNSTABLE AND WOULD SHIFT IN PLACE, ESPECIALLY AROUND CORNERS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A BROKEN SUPPORT BAR. APPARENTLY THE WELD WHERE IT MET AT THE SEAT FRAME HAD FAILED. *TR

MY DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN ROCKING BADLY ON MAY 8, 2011. THERE HAD BEEN NO UNUSUAL INCIDENTS OR ACCIDENTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE FRAMING ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BROKEN AND NOW MY SEAT ROCKS BADLY ANYTIME I GET IN OR OUT OF THE CAR, AS WELL AS ANYTIME I MAKE A TURN OR DRIVE AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD. IT ALSO PITCHES BACK AND FORTH WHENEVER I MAKE A STOP, THEREBY FEELING LIKE AND "EJECTOR" SEAT AND CHOKING ME WITH THE SEAT BELT.

THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF THE DRIVER-SIDE VISOR IN OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP - IT FALLS DOWN, BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. DRIVERS ARE EITHER FORCED TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND ON THE WHEEL WHILE TRYING TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH THE OTHER; OR DRIVING WITH A VERY RESTRICTED VIEW OF THE ROAD WITH THE VISOR HANGING DOWN. REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE NO BETTER - THEY FAIL WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF BEING INSTALLED. ACCORDING TO WEBSITES WE HAVE VISITED, THE DESIGN DEFECT OF THE VISOR IS COMMON AMONG NISSAN MURANO MODELS OF MANY OTHER YEARS ALSO. *TR
