2007 NISSAN MURANO AWD W/ 84K MILES. TOOK VEHICLE INTO NISSAN DEALER SERVICE DEPT. IN JULY FOR NOISES IN ENGINE AREA. DIAGNOSED AS BAD WHEEL BEARINGS ON 1 SIDE OF VEHICLE COST $600.00. RETURNED TO DEALER APPROX. 1 MONTH LATER, AGAIN HEARING NOISES COMING FROM ENGINE AREA. WAS AGAIN DIAGNOSED W/BAD WHEEL BEARINGS ON OTHER SIDE & WAS TOLD REPLACEMENT FROM 1 MONTH PRIOR WAS DEFECTIVE & NEEDED REPLACEMENT AGAIN. QUESTIONED DEALER SERVICE DEPT. DIAGNOSIS, INDICATING THAT I ALSO SMELLED EITHER OIL BURNING OR SOME KIND OF FLUID BURNING WHEN DRIVING. WITHOUT FURTHER EXAMINATION OF VEHICLE, SERVICE DEPT. RECOMMENDED A FLUID FLUSH, I INDICATED THAT THE FLUIDS HAD JUST BEEN FLUSHED 1 MONTH PRIOR, WAS TOLD NO OTHER PROBLEMS WERE INDICATED WHEN VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED EARLIER THAT DAY. SMELL OF OIL OR FLUID WAS DISMISSED BY SERVICE DEPT. RECEIVED A CALL LATER THAT DAY FROM SERVICE DEPT. INDICATING REPAIRS TO DEFECTIVE WHEEL BEARING & SECOND WHEEL BEARING COMPLETED, CAR READY FOR PICK UP $400 BILL. PICKED UP VEHICLE @ APPROX. 5:30 PM. AS I DROVE HOME THERE WAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC & VEHICLE SPEED DID NOT EXCEED 30 MPH FOR MAJORITY OF TRIP. UPON CLEARING OF TRAFFIC & FURTHER ACCELERATION TO APPROX. 45 MPH, THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG THAT CAME FROM WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE AREA OF MY VEHICLE, ACCOMPANIED BY A DRAGGING & GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY VEHICLE BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO A QUICK STOP. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BOTTOM OF MY VEHICLE FELL OFF. I MANAGED TO PULL VEHI

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN ON IT'S OWN WHICH IS CAUSING VISIBILITY DISTRACTIONS TO DRIVER. *TR

REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN. I TRIED TO UNLOCK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND PUSH THE RELEASE BUTTON UNDER THE REAR HATCH, BUT IT WILL NOT OPEN. IT ONLY MAKES A CLICKING SOUND AND WILL NOT OPEN THE REAR HATCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR REPAIRS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,000.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO THAT EXPERIENCED A BREAK TO THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME. THE METAL SUPPORT AT THE BACK OF THE SEAT SHEARED OFF FROM IT'S WELD TO THE REST OF THE SEAT FRAME CAUSING THE SEAT TO SUDDENLY ROCK BACKWARDS. NISSAN USA REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT AT THEIR EXPENSE AND ARE CHARGING $1,132 FOR AN ENTIRELY NEW SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND FINDING MANY, MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL WELDER HERE IN CINCINNATI OHIO AND HAD HIM WELD THE PIECE BACK TO THE FRAME. HE ALSO SHORED UP THE OTHER SIDE AND TOOK OUT THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL AND FOUND A CRACK IN THE METAL SUPPORT FRAME ON THAT SIDE. THAT WAS WELDED ALSO. I AM CONCERNED AT NISSAN'S APPARENT DISREGARD FOR THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE HERE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO WARRANT A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURE. THE LOCAL WELDER I USED IN CINCINNATI TOLD ME THIS WAS HIS 4TH MURANO. THAT'S ONE LOCAL WELDER IN CINCINNATI. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAS A LITTLE OVER 37,000. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WHEN WE CAME OUT THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF OIL. IT WAS THE STEERING FLUID THAT WAS LEAKING. WE JUST PASSE THE 36,000 WARRANTY AND THEREFORE NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IT. WE WERE TOLD THIS WOULD COST NO LESS THAN $500. VEHICLE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES OR WARNING SIGNS. STEERING LIQUID PUMP WAS ALMOST EMPTY. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT FRAME ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I WENT BY THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID SAME IS NOT COVERED AND WANT ME TO PAY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A NEW FRAME EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW SAME IS DEFECTIVE, THEY SAID UNTIL SAME IS DEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE /RECALL THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX ANYTHING FOR FREE. *TR

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR THAT DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE, ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE SHE WAS STARTLED WHEN IT DROPPED DOWN. THE COST TO REPLACE IS OVER $300 SO WE ARE TRYING WAYS TO KEEP IT FROM DROPPING DOWN. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO S AWD FLOPPING SUN VISOR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FALL FROM THE LATCH HOOKS, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE DEALER MADE UNKNOWN REPAIRS TO THE VISOR YET THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

SEAT BRACKET BROKE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT IN THE NISSAN MURANO. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE SEAT ONLY ONE SIDE WOULD RAISE, THE OTHER WAS BROKE....NO OTHER EVENT LED TO FAILURE. CANT EVEN BUY AN UPDATED PART, NISSAN ONLY SELLS THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

PURCHASED USED 2007 NISSAN MURANO 6/25/2010 WITH 27,000 MILES DROVE ON HIGHWAY AND HAD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND HIGH PITCHED NOISE FROM ENGINE ABOVE 60,000 MILES NISSAN BROWN'S STERLING VA SAYS IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS PARTS ON ORDER. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS PURCHASE. DEALER SERVICE SAID NOT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT IT OBVIOUSLY IS WHEN THE CARE WON'T ACCELERATE AND JERKS FORWARD. *TR

SUDDENLY, WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO TODAY, I HEARD A "SNAP" SOUND, AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN LEANING TO THE LEFT. NOT FEELING SAFE IN THE CAR, I STOPPED TO INSPECT THE SEAT, AND FOUND THAT THE STEEL FRAME WAS BROKEN UNDER THE LEFT REAR CORNER OF THE SEAT CUSHION. THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 50,000 MILES AT THIS POINT, SO IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE SEAT MOUNT FAILED ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO. IN REVIEWING THE DAMAGE, I DISCOVERED THAT THE MOUNT IS A THIN STRIP OF INFERIOR METAL. IN EXPLORING OPTIONS TO FIX THE SEAT I WENT TO THE DEALER, WHO SAID A REPAIR WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1,500. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. IN REVIEWING THE DATABASE THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INVESTIGATIONS BUT WITH NO RECOMMENDATIONS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SEAT BASE IS BROKE IN 2 PIECES. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO HAS A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE HAS TO REPLACED AT A COST OF $550.00 DOLLARS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES WHICH IS OVER THE WARRANTY. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. *TR

DRIVER POWER SEAT OF NISSAN MURANO BREAKS FOR NO REASON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I AM ONLY 179 LBS. LEFT REAR BRACKET BROKE AND SEAT BECOMES UNSTABLE. IT IS SHAKING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND FRONT TO REAR. WHEN PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, SEAT LEANS TO THE BACK. IT ALSO MAY BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE SEAT HAS A SAFETY BAG. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH FUEL METER RESULTING IN FAULTY READING OF THE FUEL LEVEL. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL METER DID NOT SHOW THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONSUMER STARTED EXPERIENCING STATIC IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM FOUR ADDITIONAL TIMES. EACH TIME THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL METER AND OTHER RELATED PARTS. *JB

THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT BRACKET BROKE WHILE DRIVING, THUS ALLOWING THE SEAT TO LEAN SHARPLY TO THE DOOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO S MODEL WITH A BROKEN SEAT LINKAGE BRACKET ON THE LOWER LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I WAS 3 MONTHS OUT OF MY WARRANTY WITH ONLY 25K MILES, THE VEHICLE IS MODERATELY USED AND IT'S A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. MY SEAT NO LONGER STAYS UPRIGHT AND WILL ROCK ON THE LEFT SIDE. *TR

I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD MY LIFT LINK WAS BROKEN. I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT PRIOR TO BRINGING CAR IN. HE TOLD ME NISSAN MURANO HAD A HISTORY OF THIS DEFECT. I WAS NEVER TOLD OF THIS DEFECT. I QUESTION WHY THE DEALER FAILED TO TELL ME THIS UPON LEASING THE 2007 MURANO AND SECONDLY HOW IT JUST HAPPENED TO BREAK DURING A VISIT. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THE LIFT LINK KEEPS THE SEAT IN A STABLE POSITION. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO SHOW THE CONSUMER THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND COULD BE DANGEROUS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE TECHNICIAN EXAMINED THE VISOR AND STATED IT WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED IVOQ 08/12/10*JB *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN IN MY LINE OF VISION WHILE DRIVING, OFTEN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR IN 2007 NISSAN MURANO UNEXPECTEDLY DROPS FROM STOWED (UP) POSITION INTO LINE OF SIGHT. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN, SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ ON FORUMS AND THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS, AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ THEY WANT TO RIP YOU OFF ON PRICE FOR A NEW ONE. YOU LOSE YOUR TOTAL VISION OF THE ROAD WHEN IT FALLS. IT FALLS VERY OFTEN, ABOUT EVERY 5 MINUTES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT JUST BROKE - SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING, MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. LOOKED UNDERNEATH SEAT AND IT APPEARS ONE WELD IS BROKEN, THE OTHER SIDE'S WELD MAY BE CRACKED. *TR

DRIVER'S LEFT REAR SEAT ATTACHMENT POINT GAVE WAY DURING A SHIFT IN BODY WEIGHT. THIS CREATED A FLOATING TYPE CONDITION AS THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT SHIFTED UP AND DOWN IN CORRELATION WITH THE VEHICLES MOVEMENTS/CG SHIFT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO POINT OUT UNSAFE CONDITION AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

LEFT SIDE OF SEAT FRAME BROKE. DRIVERS SEAT. DEALER QUOTED $1250 TO REPAIR. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH LOOSE SEAT. *TR

MY 2007 MURANO HAS A CRACKED SUPPORT BAR THAT ALLOWS THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH AS I DRIVE. THE COST ESTIMATE WAS OVER $1000. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 1 MILLION MILES IN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A CRACKED SEAT (49,000 MILE ON THE CAR). *TR

THIS IS REGARDING A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT LOCK IN THE UP POSITION. THIS CAUSES IT TO FALL DONW INTO THE FIELD OF VIEW AND IS A DEFINATE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS AS IT CAN BLOCK YOU VISION WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR ONCE OUT OF WARRENTY AND IT COSTS UPWARDS OF $400 TO DO THE REPAIR. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS AND HAVE EVEN HEARD FROM DEALERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THESE VEHICLES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2003. THIS SHOULD DEFINATELY BE A SAFTEY RECALL AS IT COULD CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO HAS BROKEN DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME. IT BROKE WHILE BRAKING FOR STOP SIGN AT A SLOW SPEED AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD APPROX. 50,000 MILES. IT NOW ROCKS TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING AND TURNING. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATE TO REPAIR SEAT FRAME IS $1,000. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THIS MODEL AND NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND FIXING THE PROBLEM AND MAKING MY VEHICLE SAFE TO OPERATE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, SHE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD SUDDENLY FALL AND DISTRACT HER VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT HAD THE SUN VISOR REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 64000.

THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS THE SAME AS THE FOLLOWING REPORT... NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE08065. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SUNVISOR DOES NOT REMAIN IN RETRACTED (STOWED) POSITION. SUNVISOR ROTATES ABOUT PIVOT ROD DUE TO ROAD VIBRATION AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS DRIVERS VIEW. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS EXACERBATED WITH NIGHT TIME DRIVING OR IN BAD WEATHER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN DESIGN OF THE SUNVISOR RETRACT CAM MECHANISM. THE SUNVISOR UNIT CANNOT BE REPAIRED, IT MUST BE REPLACED AND IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED DIRECTLY AND REFUSES TO REPLACE THE COMPONENT. AN INTERNET SEARCH HAS REVEALED MANY SIMILAR FAILURES IN MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS AND 116 REPORTS ARE ON FILE WITH NHTSA AS OF THIS WRITING. THIS SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THESE DEFECTIVE SUNVISORS. *TR

NISSAN 2007 MURANO - LEFT REAR ANCHOR BRACKET ON DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM (PE08065), WHY IS NISSAN NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR EITHER FIXING THE PROBLEM OR HAVING A COST EFFECTIVE FIX (THIS COULD RUN OVER $1,000). *TR

THE CAR ENGINE SHUT DOWN ALL OF SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND DIDN'T RESPOND TO ACTION ON ACCELERATOR. THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND 2 POLICE CARS CAME AND PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER. ACCORDING TO A DIAGNOSIS, WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE IS THE FAILURE OF THE FUSE BOX. POWER COMES IN THE FUSE BOX BUT DOES NOT COME OUT. AND ALSO WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS FAILURE IS UNCOMMON. THE PART WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, WE ARE NOW VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF OUR CAR BECAUSE THE ABOVE CRITICAL ENGINE FAILURE OCCURRED TO OUR FAIRLY NEW CAR WHILE DRIVING. WE PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND THE CAR IS A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD AND ITS MILEAGE IS ONLY ABOUT 19K. *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE SEAT FRAME WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE CRACK IS STILL VISIBLE. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 62000.

FRONT SEAT HAS BECOME LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THEY CALLED TO LET ME KNOW IT WOULD COST 1000.00 FOR THE PART AND 200.00 FOR LABOR. IN A STRUGGLING ECONOMY I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. THIS SEAT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN AS I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE MANY OTHER OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. *TR

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, I BEGIN TO NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ROCKING EVERY TIME I TURNED. THIS IS NOT A SLIGHT ROCKING. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SEAT MOVES 2-3 INCHES. I WAS ACTUALLY BUMPING INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE. IT SEEMS TO BE LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A "BROKEN BRACKET IN THE LINK ARM." THERE IS AN EXTENDED BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY ON THE CAR, BUT NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE PART. I DO NOT VIEW THIS AS A COSMETIC ISSUE OR A MINOR PROBLEM. I HAVE TRUE CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT WITH A LOOSE SEAT, ESPECIALLY IN A ROLLOVER. *TR

MY 2007 MURANO HAS BEGUN STALLING AND LURCHING FORWARD IN TRAFFIC. IT JUST STARTED DOING THIS WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY AS I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL HOW THE CAR WAS REACTING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AFTER COMING TO A STOP, I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR STOPPED QUICKLY, AS THOUGH I HAD STEPPED ON THE BRAKE - THEN IT ACCELERATED QUICKLY, AS THOUGH I HAD STEPPED HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. HOWEVER, IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING 3 OTHER TIMES WITHIN 24 HOURS. ALL OF THEM OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED OR MOVING VERY SLOWLY. I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND HE WAS ADVISED THAT IT WOULD COST $1000.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAT. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND HE WAS ADVISED THAT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, NO ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,793.

DRIVERS SEAT BROKEN TRACK MAKING SEAT ROCK LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. *TR

I HAD AT LEAST 3 ACCIDENTS IN MY MURANO WHEREBY I HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ALMOST STOPPED OR STOPPED, BUT THE ACCELERATOR KEPT ON PUSHING THEREFORE, HITTING THE NEXT CAR. BECAUSE IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS AND I AM NOT CARELESS, I FEEL IT COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MINOR IDLE FLUCTUATION OR POOR ACCELERATION DESCRIBED IN NISSAN MURANO MODEL 2007-RECALL NOTIFICATION. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT RECOURSE I MAY HAVE OTHER THAN JUST FIXING MY CAR; WHICH I INTEND TO DO. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SEAT BROKE TONIGHT IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR AND THEN IT JUST STARTED SAGGING DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE. I HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME WITH IT FLOPPING UP AND DOWN, THIS WAS VERY UNSTABLE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY. WE LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT TO SEE IF PERHAPS A BOLT CAME UNSCREWED ONLY TO SEE ITS A METAL BRACKET AND WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED. MY CAR HAS 50,0000 MILES FROM WHAT I AM SEEING THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE, BUT SINCE NO BODILY INJURIES OR DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED THEY ARE NOT BEING REQUIRED TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I THINK ALLOWING THEM TO CHARGE CONSUMERS 1000.00 TO 1500.00 IS RIDICULOUS. LETS NOT WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO DIE IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WILL CALL THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE SET UP THE APPT FOR THE ANOTHER RECALL I JUST RECEIVED AND WILL INQUIRE ABOUT FIXING THE SEAT WHICH I AM SURE I WILL BE TOLD ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HOPE THIS RECALL IS NOT BEING OVERLOOKED BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT BAIL OUTS FOR THESE AUTO DEALERS. *TR

THE LEFT REAR OF THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME FAILED. THE SEAT WOBBLES. *TR

THE BATTERY USED IN NISSAN MURANO 2007 IS DEFECTIVE AND GOES DOWN WITHIN 12 - 36 MONTHS FOR MOST VEHICLES. WHEN MOST OF THE BATTERIES IN THE US PROVIDE AT LEAST 36 MONTHS OF WARRANTY, NISSAN MADE ITS OWN POLICY TO COVER 100% ONLY FOR 1ST 12 MONTHS, AND THEN START PRORATED CHARGES. THEY CONCEAL THE DEFECT DURING A SALE/LEASE, BUT IT'S VERY COMMON. I HAD TO PAY $75 IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE BATTERY THAT IS ONLY 24 MONTHS OLD. THEY REPLACED WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE NISSAN BATTERY, AND REFUSED TO REPLACE WITH A REPUTABLE BATTERY SUCH AS INTERSTATE. I STAYED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND SAW FOUR SIMILAR SUVS CAME IN, ALL WITH THE SAME COMPLAIN. I SPOKE TO SOME NISSAN OWNERS AND THEY ALL AGREED THAT THEIR BATTERIES WENT DOWN JUST AFTER 12 MONTHS. NISSAN USED TO OFFER 36 MONTHS WARRANTY TILL 2005, AND THEN STARTED TO REDUCE THE WARRANTY, AND NOW IT IS ONLY FOR 12 MONTHS. THEY SHOULD REFUND MY PAYMENT AS WELL AS TO OTHER OWNERS WHO WERE FORCED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WITHIN 36 MONTHS AS THE COMPANY CLAIMS BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE FOR THIS PERIOD. THEN THEY SHOULD REPLACE WITH A REPUTABLE BATTERY SUCH AS INTERSTATE UNTIL THEY FIX THE PROBLEM OF THEIR BATTERY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED AND EXTENDED TO THE REAR SEAT. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEAT COULD BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER WELDED THE SEAT TO THE TRACK AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. ON JULY 6, 2009, THE SEAT FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALER RECENTLY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER WELD THE SEAT BECAUSE THE TRACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PAID $400 FOR THE WELDING AND $1,400 FOR THE TRACK REPLACEMENT. SHE STATED THAT SHE WOULD NOT REPAIR THE SEAT SINCE THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD MAKE AN AGREEMENT WITH HER TO SPLIT THE REPAIR COST. THEY LATER STATED THAT THEY WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH HER AND THAT NO RECALLS WERE AVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER AND SERVICE MANAGER CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED. IF A CRASH HAD OCCURRED, THE INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND STATED THAT IF THE SEAT LEANED TOWARD THE AIR BAG SWITCH, THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY. THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS MAILING HER A PACKET TO REPORT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT SHE WILL GO THE MEDIA ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THIS WOULD BE IRRELEVANT SINCE NO CRASH OCCURRED. THE CONTACT FOUND SEVERAL NHTSA COMPLAINTS AND AN OPEN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

TIRES WORE OUT AT 20,000 MILES. THE TIRES HAVE UNEVEN WEAR EVEN WITH REGULAR ROTATION. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 NISSAN MURANO AND IT HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME MY DRIVERS SEAT MADE A VERY BIG POP AND THE FRAME OF THE SEAT BROKE INTO. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH AND I FELT SO UNSAFE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT I HAD BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. PLEASE READ ALL THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS. I AM SURE THIS IS A DEFECT AND A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS ON MY CAR. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE THEY SAY IT HAS TO MANY MILES(55,000). THE COST TO REPAIR IS 1,500.00. I HAVE NEVER HAD A SEAT TO FALL IN THE FLOOR. I SURE HOPE THIS SAFETY HAZARD WILL BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
