2007 Nissan Murano complaints

WE WERE RETURNING FROM VACATION DRIVING DOWN I-95 WHEN WE HEARD A POP AND THE DRIVERS SEAT SETTLED BACK AND TO THE LEFT. IT CAUSED ME TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT LANE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.

SEAT FRAME WELD BROKE UNDER DRIVER'S SEAT. SEAT BEGAN TO SWAY DOWN & LEFT AND THEN SWAYED BACK UP RIGHT CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSS OF DRIVING FOCUS AND FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. FEAR COMPOUNDED BECAUSE MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. AFTER DRIVING NERVOUSLY HOME, I INSPECTED SEAT TO FIND A FRAME WELD BROKEN AT A CRUCIAL WEIGHT BEARING SPOT. THE LEFT REAR CORNER OF THE SEAT WAS NOT EVEN CONNECTED TO THE FRAME! I WENT TO THE INTERNET, BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF ACTION NISSAN NEVER ANSWERED, TO GET ANY INFO ON THIS. TURNS OUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME WELDS. AND THE PRICE IS OFF THE CHARTS FOR THIS RETIRED (NISSAN QUALITY ASSURANCE INSPECTOR, SMYRNA PLANT). THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL OF THIS PROBLEM! FAILURE OF A DRIVER SEAT FRAME WELD SHOULD BE GROUNDS FOR A RECALL! INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! I AM REALLY ANGRY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR WAS JUST OK FOR 95,000 MILES. AFTER THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE WENT OUT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW MOTOR QUIT. NEITHER OF THE SUNVISORS WILL STAY UP. DEALER ASKING $135 EACH. PRIOR TO 95,000 MILES, BRAKES X2, TIRES X2 SETS, HATCH SHOCKS WORN OUT, ALL UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS WORN OUT, UNDERBODY SHOCKS WORN OUT, CENTER CV BOOT/HALF SHAFT REPLACED, OE & DEALER REPLACEMENT WIPERS ARE A JOKE AND UP TO NOW, 6 HEADLAMP BULBS REPLACED (NO, I DIDN'T TOUCH THEM). AND THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE SET FORTH BY THE MANUAL; WHEW! I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON SE

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ON THE WAY HOME FROM NISSAN SEVICE CAR STOPPED HAD TO BE TOWED. NISSAN SHOP DIAGNOSIS 3 CAM SENSORS NEEDED REPLACING. $789.00 LABOR COST AND NIQSSAN PARTS TOTAL LESS THAN $350.00. ALWAYS SERVICED AT THE GARAGE AND WAS GOING TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. NOW DEFINITELY OUT OF THE QUESTION AFTER THIS TREATMENT. THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FAILED AND REMAINED DOWN, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT'S VISION TO BE OBSTRUCTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR HAD TO BE HELD UP MANUALLY WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A NOISE AND MY DRIVER SEAT WENT BACK AND TOWARD THE WINDOW. I HAD TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY CAR BECAUSE WHEN THE SEAT FRAME BROKE I SWERVED AND MY FOOT FELL OFF THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN READING ONLINE I FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. I ALSO FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE REVISIT THIS ISSUE AND DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE DRIVER/PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. IF IT WAS MY INEXPERIENCED 18 YEAR OLD DRIVING THERE WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET BROKE WHILE ENTERING THE CAR. I KNOW 3 PEOPLE WITH MURANOS THAT THIS HAPPENED TO . SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE SEAT NOW WIGGLES FREELY ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS HAD TO BE MANUALLY RECONNECTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WERE AGING PREMATURELY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE AND AS I TURNED THE CORNER I HEARD A SNAP IN THE BACK OF THE DRIVERS SEAT AND THE SEAT SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE BACK TOWARDS THE DRIVERS DOOR AND FELT VERY UNSTABLE. IT NOW MOVES QUIT FREELY AND WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP OR A DIP OR TURN RIGHT, IT MOVES TOWARD THE DOOR. I WAS ABLE TO LOOK UNDER THE SEAT WITH A LIGHT AND IT SNAPPED RIGHT OFF THE BRACKET THAT GOES ACROSS THE BACK OF THE SEAT. I WILL BE SEEKING ESTIMATES ON FIXING IT AS IT HAPPENED TODAY AND FEELS VERY UNSAFE WHEN I GO AROUND A CORNER. *TR

PULLED OUT ONTO A ROADWAY WITH A 60 MPH SPEED LIMIT. THIS VEHICLE IS FAST AND HAS QUICK THROTTLE RESPONSE, SO KNOWING THAT I COULD MAKE IT, WHILE A CAR WAS APPROACHING, I PULLED OUT AND ACCELERATED QUICKLY. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE NEAR THE POWER THAT IT NORMALLY DID AND IMMEDIATELY MADE A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND AND CLICKING AS IF METAL WAS SCRAPING ADJACENT METAL. LUCKILY, I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND HIT IT AGAIN, AND IT OPERATED FINE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND NOBODY WAS HURT. THE PROBLEM HAS SLOWLY PERSISTED AND GOTTEN WORSE. THAT'S WHAT RECALLS ARE FOR AND THAT IS WHAT RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WILL TELL YOU NEEDS TO HAPPEN. THE RECALL NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE. DO PEOPLE NEED TO DIE FIRST? SAFETY MEANS AVOIDING INJURY. RESEARCH THE PROBLEM HERE AND DO WHAT YOU CAN TO RESOLVE IT FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. I'VE SEEN MUCH LESS SEVERE RECALLS TAKE PLACE. I'M ABOUT TO HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO PAY FOR THIS MYSELF, BECAUSE OUT OF THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE THAT I CAN PROBABLY FIND, THERE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO RESOLUTION, AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT MAY HAVE CAUSED ANY INJURIES TO ANYBODY ELSE, BUT WILL BE RESEARCHING EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. I WILL PRESENT A PORTFOLIO OF INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT CANNOT BE DENIED, IF I MUST. I WILL DO YOUR JOBS IF YOU WILL NOT, ALTHOUGH I'M SURE YOU HAVE JUST NOT HAD ENOUGH COMPLAINTS, OR SOMETHING OF SIMILAR NATURE, AND IT WILL TAKE ME A LONG TIME, A LOT OF READING AND SAVING AND PRINTING INFO.

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN MURANO WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AFTER A LIGHT CHANGE MY VEHICLE LOSS ACCELERATION. LUCKILY, THE CAR BEHIND ME DIDN'T SLAM INTO ME I WAS ABLE SAFELY GET OUT OF THE WAY. THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR YET THE CAR BARLEY MOVED THEN IT LURCHED FORWARD AND WAS FINE. I TOOK TO A MECHANIC NOTHING A FEW WEEKS LATER AFTER NO ISSUE IT HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WAS DANGEROUS AND SCARY AGAIN I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE WAS A LEAK AT THE TRANSFER CASE I HAD REPAIRED. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A DEFECT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, THEY THEN TOLD ME ABOUT THE KNOWN MANUFACTURER ISSUE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND SUGGESTED I BRING IT TO NISSAN AND SEE IF THEY COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT NISSAN COULD DO BUT TO SLAP IN ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY SINCE I WAS OVER THE EXTENDED 120,0000 MILES. THEY DID GIVE ME THE OPTION TO HAVE THEM THROW IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $4000. I THEN CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. RESEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE; IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT IS A TACTIC PLAYED BY NISSAN SO THEY WILL NOT BARE FINANCIAL AND REPUTATION DETERIORATION. INSTEAD T

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 100 IN MILWAUKEE AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN STOP. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER THIS STOP. I PUSHED THE CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND TOOK THE BATTERY INTO A LOCAL HARDWARE STORE. THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND NEEDED TO BE CHARGED. I RE INSTALLED THE BATTERY AND GOT THE CAR STARTED (THE ENGINE SOUNDED LOUD) AND DROVE TO THE AUTO STORE AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR TESTED - IT WAS DEAD. I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AND IT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH AND THE CEL WAS ON. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED (SUNDAY), THE BATTERY KEPT IT'S CHARGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER ON MONDAY MORNING - THEY DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER 2 WEEKS AND DROVE IT HOME. I DID NOTICE THAT THE THERE WAS A SLIGHT WHINE - I THOUGHT IT WAS WITH THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION. I GOT LOUDER EACH DAYAND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER, BUT THE NOISE WOULD QUIT AFTER IT WARMED UP. THE NISSAN DEALER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE. THESE EVENTS APPEARED TO BE CAUSED BY A PREVIOUS EVENT - (1) ALTERNATOR (2) TRANSMISSION (3) HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE, ALL STARTED NOVEMBER 27 2014, AND LASTLY ENDED ON FEBRUARY 10, 2015, HOPEFULLY. *TR

WENT TO ADJUST DRIVERS SEAT AND HEARD A NOISE AND REALIZED I COULDN'T MOVE SEAT AFTER THAT. WHEN EVER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE SEAT WOULD HIT HARD AS IF THE SPRING WAS NOT LONGER THERE. TRACK BROKE AND WHOLE SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I REPLACED WITH A USED SEAT AND NOW ONE YEAR LATER (1/12/15) THE TRACK ON THIS SEAT HAS BROKEN AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED THE $584 FROM LAST YEARS FIX AND GET A NEW SEAT THIS YEAR AS THIS HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. *TR

CAR STARTED TO MAKE A NOISE WHEN STEERING OR HITTING A BUMP. *TR

STARTED MAKING A NOISE AS A FLAT TIRE, I PARKED IT. NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IS THE TRANSFER CASE AND WANT $ 3,500 TO FIX IT, I RESEARCHED ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND LOTS, TOO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE, NISSAN HAS TO BE AWARE OF THE BAD QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT AND ASSUME THE THEIR PART ON IT, OR PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I HEARD A POP AND THE SEAT TILTED TO THE LEFT. MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO SWERVE AND I NARROWLY MISSED HITTING THE CENTER DIVIDER. ONCE I CALMED DOWN AND RECOVERED, I DROVE HOME. I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT. WHEN I CAME HOME, I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE SEAT AND OBSERVED THE SEAT BRACKET ASSEMBLY CRACKED AT THE WELD. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON. I AM NOT SURE WHAT VERY MEANS. COST OF REPAIR IS $1700-2500. HE RECOMMENDED GOING TO A BODY SHOP TO HAVE THE PART WELDED BACK TOGETHER. *TR

2007 MURANO. FRONT SEAT, FRONT BRACKET BROKE AT 59000 MILES. FRONT SEAT DROPPED TO THE LEFT. HEARD THIS WAS AN ISSUE FOR MANY MURANO OWNERS AND IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX FOR SOMETHING THAT SEEMS DEFECTIVE. SUPPOSEDLY ITS USUALLY THE REAR BRACKET OF THE FRONT SEAT SO NOW IM JUST WAITING ON THAT. *TR

WARNING AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT SHUT OFF. KEEPS BLINKING POWER WINDOWS GO DOWN BY ITSELF HALF WAY DOWN, INTERMITTENTLY. OPPORTUNITY FOR THEFT AND RAIN DAMAGE.. *TR

HAD NOTICED THAT THE GAS GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD JUST PUT GAS IN THE VECHICLE 2 DAYS BEFORE. I LOOKED FOR A LEAK AND THERE WAS NOTHING NOTICABLE. I FILLED THE TANK, RETURNED TO THE CAR TO CHECK THE GAUGE AND NOTICED THAT IT READ 3/4. I STARTED DRIVING AND AS I WAS DRIVING IT FLUCTUATED BETWEEM FULL AND 3/4. I TALKED TO MY WIFE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND SHE HAD NOTICED THAT THE GAS GAUGE HAD BEEN READING INACCURATELY THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. *TR

CAR LOSES ITS ELECTRIC POWER...SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK DO NOT WORK. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS SHIFT. *TR

KEPT NOTICING SMELL OF BURNING OIL. WAS TOLD THE AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING. AFTER THE 2ND AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED, THEY SAID IT WAS A TRANSFER CASE SEAL THAT WAS LEAKING AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THAT REPLACED AT APPROXIMATE COST OF $1500. AT THAT TIME I TOLD THE DEALER THAT DURING COLD WEATHER I HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION (WHICH HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 120,000), AND I'M SURE THE TRANSMISSION HAS CAUSED THE TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS, BUT, OF COURSE, UPON THE DEALER TESTING THE TRANSMISSION THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING FINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE LEAK WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAD TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT AS LONG AS THE FLUID LEVELS WERE CHECKED FREQUENTLY I COULD WAIT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. YESTERDAY (4 MONTHS LATER) I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AXLE SEAL AND THE TRANSFER CASE SEAL WERE BOTH LEAKING AND THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED DETAILING THAT THE TRANSFER CASE SHOULD BE REBUILT. THE COST NOW WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $1800, TO FIX THE SEALS AND REBUILD THE TRANSFER CASE. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE I'VE REALIZED THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MURANO'S AND THAT NISSAN IS IGNORING THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE MURANO'S AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT, CLEAR ROAD, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE UNDER HOOD, THE CAR LOST POWER AND THERE WEAS SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A GAS STATION. CAR WAS TOWED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRANSFER CASE WAS CRACKED. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND THE SEAT FRAME BROKE (DRIVER'S SEAT - LEFT REAR). THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH EVERY 2003-2007 SOMETIME. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A $1,200 REPAIR FROM THE DEALER. I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED YET. HELP!! *TR

DRIVING THE CAR WHEN HEARING BIG BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE HOOD FROM THE CAR SOUNDLY THE CAR BROKE DOWN TOWING IT IN TO THE DEALER SAYING THAT IT'S THE TRANSFER CASE THAT WENT WITH OUT ANY WARNING READING UP ON LINE SEEING THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WILL AL NISSAN THEY SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WHILE ADJUSTING THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER SEAT, SOMETHING IN THE POWER SEAT MECHANISM APPEARS TO HAVE BROKE AND THE SEAT IN NOW UNEVEN, AND FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING OFF THE RAILS ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING INTO A CURVE, WHERE YOU MUST HANG ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL FOR BALANCE WHICH CAUSES UNDUE ANXIETY FOR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL. THE SEAT FEELS LIKE IT IS OFF THE RAILS, AND WHEN I USE THE POWER SEAT ADJUSTER, IT ONLY LIFTS ONE SIDE OF THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENED OVER 2 YEARS AGO AT ABOUT 45,0000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 70,000 MILES. I HAVE LEARNED IF YOU KEEP THE SEAT ADJUSTED SO THAT ITS CLOSEST TO THE FLOOR, THEN THERE IS LESS OF A FEELING THAT THE SEAT IS COMING OFF, THAN IF THE SEAT IS ADJUSTED TO A HIGHER POSITION. I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO GET THIS REPAIRED SOLELY DUE TO THE $1,100 EXPENSE WHICH IT APPEARS TO COST TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IT'S AN ANNOYING ISSUE, IT REMINDS ME OF THE FORD I HAD AS A TEENAGER THAT I HAD TO USE ROPE TO KEEP THE DRIVER DOOR SHUT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE HEARD POP AND DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE DIPPING TO THE LEFT AT REAR OF SEAT. I'VE INVESTIGATED THIS MATTER AND SEAT WILL COST OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THIS IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL. FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS IT LOOKS TO ME AS THOUGH THE METAL USED TO MAKE THE SEAT BRACKET IS NOT STURDY, OR DEFECTIVE METAL IS BEING USED. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BROKE CAUSING MAJOR VISIBILITY ISSUE. WOULD HANG DOWN AND BLOCK DRIVER'S VIEW. BROKE JUST AFTER WARRANTY ENDED. THERE WAS NO WAY TO KEEP IT UP WITHOUT $250 REPLACEMENT VISOR. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID HE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE CONSUMERS. STATED HE FELT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

SAT IN CAR TO TAKE DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE. THE REAR BRACKET CAME LOOSE AND NOW MY SEAT WOBBLES/BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE. OVER BUMPS IT'S WORSE. TURNING A CORNER SENDS ME UP AGAINST THE DOOR. I FIND MYSELF GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR BALANCE AND THAT CAUSES MY CAR TO SWERVE. HUBBY THOUGHT I WAS EXAGGERATING UNTIL HE SAT IN SEAT. LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. CALLED NISSAN AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND I SHOULD CALL NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER PARTS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!!! IF NISSAN IS AWARE THERE'S THIS BIG OF A PROBLEM WHY NO RECALL? BECAUSE NO ONE HAS DIED?? SEEMS THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT. RIGHT NOW I'M USING THE "FIX" THE GUY BEFORE ME USED....PIECE OF WOOD UNDER THE SEAT TO KEEP IT STABLE ENOUGH TO DRIVE. QUOTED $1700 PARTS AND LABOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE.

WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION I HEARD A POP, THE DRIVERS SEAT AND MYSELF, LURCHED BACK AND TO THE LEFT INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I WAS VERY STARTLED BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE SEAT BROKE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST SLIDE OFF THE SEAT. I CALLED NISSAN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1500.00. I DECIDED TO GO HOME AND CHECK IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALL ON THIS PART AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE LETTER AFTER LETTER FROM NISSAN MURANO OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS I FEEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL FROM THE DEALER.SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET REALLY HURT IF THEY ARE RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND THE SEAT BREAKS. I HOPE BY WRITING TO YOU THIS CAN BE AVOIDED. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN OIL LEAKING FROM MY OIL TANK FOR OVER A YEAR. I WENT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE O-RING OR SEAL ON THE OIL TANK AND THAT THEY TEND TO GO ON THIS MODEL CAR. IT IS A $400 FIX. IF THIS IS COMMON IN THE MURANOS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST. *TR

ENTERED DRIVER'S SIDE OF VEHICLE, SAT IN SEAT, AND HEARD A SNAPPING/BREAKING TYPE NOISE. IN SITTING ON THE SEAT IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE AND WAS ON A SLANT. HAD TO PLACE A PIECE OF WOOD TO LEVEL IT OFF SO I COULD USE MY VEHICLE. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO S SUN VISOR BOTH DRIVER AS WELL AS PASSENGER MAL-FUNCTION. I CHOOSE VISIBILITY/WIPER BECAUSE THE SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTS VISION (*VISIBILITY*) WHEN IT DROPS DOWN IN VIEW WHILE DRIVING AT NO GIVEN WARNING. ITS DANGEROUS AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE COMING FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTION AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. THE COST OF THESE SUN VISORS ARE EXPENSIVE AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE OR AT LEAST FIX THEM AT NO COST. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN PLACE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT WILL FLOP DOWN AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. *TR

REAR HATCH STOPPED WORKING. SINCE IT CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (WITH THE PANEL REMOVED) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO HANDLE ON THIS YEAR MODEL THAT WILL WORK WITHOUT ELECTRICAL ASSISTANCE. WHEN THE OPEN BUTTON IS PUSHED (EITHER FROM INSIDE THE CAR OR ON THE KEY FOB) THERE IS NO SOUND INDICATING THAT THE REAR HATCH IS BEING CONTACTED AT ALL. WE HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE FUSE AND A CONTROL MODULE BUT NEITHER OF THOSE HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE A MANUAL LATCH ON THE REAR HATCH SO THAT IT CAN BE OPENED WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR
