2007 Nissan Murano complaints

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. ABS LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. SMELLED BURNING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FUSE BOX WAS FAULTY, THE ABS MODULE WENT OUT AS WELL AS THE ECM. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY AIR BAGS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING SINCE THE INCIDENT, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHEN SEARCHING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED, FOUND NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF NISSAN VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BROKE/SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON A SURFACE STREET. UPON INSPECTION, THE ENTIRE SEAT WAS WOBBLING AND NOT STURDY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO DEALER AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE SEATS FRAME FRACTURED CAUSING THE SEAT TO FALL BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 15 MPH AND CRASHED INTO AN UNKNOWN OBJECT. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE CONTACT'S HEAD STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO SECURE THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT WAS NOT TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT OF INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT WAS FOUND TO BE FRACTURE DUE TO CORROSION OF THE SEAT FRAME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I NOTICE THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AT A HIGHER SPEED WITH NO CHANGE IN ACCELERATION. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO BAY RIDGE NISSAN AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR $500, EVEN I THOUGH I HAVE AN EXISTING WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATE AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE A LOT OF NISSAN OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FIRST NOTICED IT KEPT POPPING OUT OF ALL WHEEL DRIVE IN A SNOW STORM WHILE DRIVING 15 MPR. NEXT ISSUE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65RPM THE SPEED KEPT DECELLERATING OR STICKING LIKE IT HAD A GOVANOR ON IT AT 65. NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE IT FOR MORE THEN TWENTY MINUTES WITHOUT IT DECELLERATING. IT WON'T SHIFT JUST STICKS AT 3RPM AND THE SPEED WILL NOT INCREASE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. SECOND TIME THEY HOOKED IT UP TO CHECK ENGINE MACHINE. IT DID NOT THROW A CODE SO THEY SAID IT WAS SAFT TO DRIVE. COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN IT STARTED BUCKING AND SPEED DECELLERATED VERY QUICKLY. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND. SEEMS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO ME BUT HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING NISSIAN TO REPLACE IT. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE. *TR

THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FALLS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS TEMPORARILY BLOCKS THE FORWARD VIEW. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. VISOR WILL NOT STAY OUT OF WAY. MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET, NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR, AND WANTS EXPENSIVE PART TO BE PURCHASED WITH NO WARRANTY THAT PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. DEFECTIVE PART. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TRANSFER CASE LEAK ON 2007 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD, 3-4 MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX IT. HEAT PRODUCED IN CVT IS CAUSING SEALANT IN THE TRANSFER CASE AND ULTIMATELY TRANSFER CASE TO BREAK. NISSAN EXTENDED THE CVT WARRANTY BUT REFUSE CVT IS CAUSING THE TRANSFER CASE TO BREAK AND WAS NOT COVERED MY CVY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

DRIVER SEAT ANCHOR FAILURE DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSED TOWARDS DRIVER DOOR WHILE DRIVING FROM PA. TO FL. ON I-95. LOUD POP UNDER SEAT WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. I WILL HAVE IT REPAIRED BEFORE I RETURN TO PA. ACCORDING TO YOUR BULLETIN: NHTSA / PE 08065. THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ARE HIGH BUT YOU CLOSED THIS ISSUE ON 7/2/09. IF YOU LOOK FURTHER YOU WILL FIND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2005 WITH ONLY SEVERAL ACCIDENTS REPORTED. NO FATALITIES YET. PLEASE CHECK THE ARFC WEB SITE FOR ANOTHER 267 COMPLAINTS. THIS FINDING NEEDS TO BE REOPENED AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HAD I NOT REACTED SWIFTLY WHILE IN MOTION I WOULD NOT BE SENDING YOU THIS COMPLAINT, MY ATTORNEY WOULD WITH A COPY TO MY CONGRESSMAN AND NISSAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED SHE HEARD A POPPING NOISE AND ONCE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE THE SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK AND SWAY BACK AND FORTH DISRUPTING HER DRIVING ABILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

THE DRIVER SEAT HAS COME DE-WELDED AND NOW THE SEAT ROCKS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR CONSTANTLY FLOPS DOWN WHEN DRIVING. IT IS VERY UNSAFE, AND COULD CREATE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEN I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF, GOT OUT THE TRUCK AND LOCKED THE DOORS THE VEHICLE TURNED BACK ON WITHOUT ME BEING IN THE TRUCK OR PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I DO NOT HAVE AN AUTO STARTER. THIS HAPPENED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME WE DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT HAPPENED AND IT DRAINED THE BATTERY, THE SECOND TIME WE THOUGHT WE WERE HALLUCINATING AND THE LAST INCIDENT ON MONDAY, JULY 15, 2013, IT WAS 8:30 AM AND I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE TO GO IN TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNED BACK ON. I INSTANTLY THOUGHT I LOCKED THE KEYS IN THE TRUCK WHEN I NOTICED THEY WERE IN MY HANDS. I UNLOCKED THE DOORS TRIED TURNING IT OFF THREE TIMES AND FINALLY ON THE FOURTH TRY IT STAYED OFF AND DIDN'T TURN BACK ON. I FELT BAD BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY DAUGHTER WAS TRYING TO SCARE ME ABOUT THE CAR STARTING ON ITS OWN. THERE'S ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT ALL BY ITSELF. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLAPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WILL NOT STAY UP, CAUSING AN IMPAIRMENT IN VISIBILITY AND DISTRACTION IN DRIVING. I CONTACTED NISSAN WHO WAS OF NO ASSISTANCE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND PURCHASED IT NEW. THERE IS ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. IN SPEAKING TO OTHER NISSAN OWNERS, THEY CONFIRMED THIS PROBLEM IN NISSAN VEHICLES. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM HIGH PRESSURE HOSE ,CAUSING LOOSING OF STEERING AND SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED FALLING DOWN, IMPAIRING SIGHT OF THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT 1 MONTH OF FALLING, IT WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP AT ALL. I'VE HAD TO PULL OUT THE SIDE VISOR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR TO 'PROP" THE DRIVERS SIDE UP. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS STARTING TO FALL. I'VE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE VISOR IF I AM TO SEE THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSED INWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE SEAT BACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *TR

REALIZED POWER STEERING HOSE (PUMP) IS LEAKING FLUID, DESPITE HAVING VERY LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT COULD IGNITE AND/OR CAUSE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR FAILS TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT UNEXPECTEDLY FALLS TO THE DOWN POSITION WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE FAILURE OF THE VISOR CREATES A HAZARD BY LIMITING THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE WHERE THEY'RE GOING. *TR

TURNING A CORNER ON PARKING LOT. HEARD A LOT POP AND MY SEAT COLLAPSED, SHIFTING ME INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE SEAT FELL TO THE FLOOR AND ROCKS EVERY TIME I DRIVE OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND/OR MAKES TURNS. I ALMOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR SLOWLY STARTED DROPPING ON ITS OWN. MY VISOR WILL STAY UP SOMETIMES BUT GIVEN A LITTLE TIME IT WILL NEVER STAY UP. I READ OF THIS IN OTHER MODEL YEARS BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED IT IN MINE UNTIL THE LAST 4 MONTHS. AND NOW IT HAS GONE FROM AN ANNOYANCE TO A LIABILITY. IF I CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS I'M SUING THE HE'LL OUT OF NISSAN AS IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY WON'T FIX IT. NEVER ENCOUNTERED A SIMILAR ISSUE IN THE 7 OTHER VEHICLES I'VE OWNED. *TR

DRIVER'S SUN VISOR DROPS UNEXPECTEDLY--SEVERELY INTERFERES WITH ABILITY TO SEE OUT FRONT WINDOW. *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. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY 17 YEAR-OLD NEW DRIVER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT...THE SEAT COULD EASILY BREAK LOOSE. *TR

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK - HARD TO TURN STEERING ,LOUD NOISE FROM STEERING PUMP BECAUSE NO FLUID PRESENT - LOOKS LIKE POWER STEERING HOSE LEAK - DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT IS VERY COMMON IN MURANO 2003-2007 - OBVIOUSLY NISSAN WONT RECALL IT EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE WHOLE FORUMS ONLINE AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT SAME THING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WAS EXTREMELY COMPROMISED WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR INADVERTENTLY CAME DOWN AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH IT THIS WAY FOR THE REST OF MY TRIP (OVER 2 HOURS) WITH HEAVY RAIN. IT WAS DANGEROUS AS MY VISIBILITY WAS SUBSTANTIALLY OBSTRUCTED WITH THE VISOR. A QUICK SEARCH IN THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THIS IS A SOMEWHAT COMMON OCCURRENCE DUE TO POOR VISOR DESIGN AND NISSAN SEEMS TO BE OVERLOOKING THE ISSUE. REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND SEEM TO FAIL ALIKE IN THE SAME SPOT (THE ARM HEADLINER ATTACHMENT). IF NISSAN WON'T RE-ENGINEER THE PART TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BOUND TO REOCCUR. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET FAILED PREMATURELY. THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE TOWARDS THE BACK LEFT CORNER CLOSEST TO THE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE SEAT CURRENTLY ROCKS CORNER TO CORNER. THE WELDING OF THE FRAMES CROSS MEMBER SNAPPED APART WHILE IN PARK, RIGHT BEFORE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND IS A HUGE CONCERN AND APPARENTLY (ACCORDING TO OTHERS ONLINE) IS A COMMON DEFECT/FLAW OF THE 2003-2007 MURANOS. *TR

LEFT VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN CAUSING RESTRICTED VIEW. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THIS COMPLAINT, BUT READING THE BULLETIN BOARDS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. I KNOW TWO OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE OF THE REMOVED THE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THE INTERIOR IS NOT LISTED ON YOUR CHOICES SO I PICKED BODY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I HEARD A LOUD POP INSIDE THE CAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SEAT LEANED TO THE BACK LEFT AND I HAD TO BRACE MYSELF AND THE CAR FROM SWERVING. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE SEAT KEPT ROCKING SIDE TO SIDE ON THE LEFT . WHEN I GOT TO WORK AND PARKED I NOTICED THE SEAT WAS TILTED AND LOSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO ANYONE DRIVING AS I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN BRACING MYSELF AS A RESULT OF THE SEAT BREAKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY NISSAN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR DROPPED DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW. JUST AS THIS HAPPENED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HIT THE BRAKES TO STOP AND I COULDN'T SEE THE BRAKE LIGHTS! I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF THEIR CAR! I CAN'T AFFORD WHAT THE DEALER CHARGES FOR A REPLACEMENT VISOR AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO KEEP ONE HAND ON THE VISOR AS I DRIVE! I'M WORRIED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR OTHER NISSAN OWNERS TOO. *TR

LEFT REAR SUPPORT FOR DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SEAT TO LEAN BACK--THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

CPSC: I1340149A. 2007 NISSAN MURANO. CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED TWICE. *LN

SEAT FRAME PART FAILURE. AT FIRST THE SEAT LEANED THEN WITHIN A FEW DAYS BROKE. THIS MUST BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING OR ACCIDENT OCCURS BEFORE SEAT IS FIXED. I SPOKE TO A FEW NISSAN DEALERSHIPS WHO WERE ALL FULLY AWARE AND HAVE SEEN THIS SAME BROKEN PART OFTEN. NISSAN DOES NOT COVER THIS PART. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY MURANO TODAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN MY SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK. THE LEFT FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD BROKEN AND I DID NOT THINK THIS WAS POSSIBLE. I SEE FROM THIS WEBSITE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER MURANO DRIVERS OUT THERE THAT THIS IS HAPPENED TO AND THAT THEY HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY DIDNT CARE! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND IT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED! THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED! THEY ARE PUTTING OUR LIVES AND OTHERS ARE RISK! HEAVEN FORBID THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRAME GO. I AM CALLING NISSAN TOMORROW! THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN! THEY SHOULD NOT MAKE THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SHOTTY WORK AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE! *TR

AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2007 MURANO FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER, MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE THEM TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE NEEDED REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME ALMOST $3000.00 TO FIX THE AIRBAG SENSOR. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BUT I AM WONDERING WHY THE 07 AND 08 MODEL YEAR MURANOS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS HOW THE INITIAL RECALL LOOKS INCLUDING THE 07, 08, AND 09 MURANOS- VEHICLE MAKE / MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): INFINITI / EX35 2008 INFINITI / G35 2007-2008 INFINITI / G37 2008 NISSAN / 350Z 2007-2008 NISSAN / ALTIMA 2007-2008 NISSAN / ALTIMA HYBRID 2007-2008 NISSAN / MURANO 2007-2009 NISSAN / ROGUE 2008 FOLLOWED BY THE SUMMARY OF THE RECALL THAT EXPLAINS THE EXACT PROBLEM BUT EXCLUDES THE 2007-2008 MURANO MODELS. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET NISSAN TO EXTEND THE RECALL FOR THE REST OF US THAT GOT LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL PROCESS. THE SAME SYSTEM WAS USED IN THE 2007-2008 MURANOS BUT NOT SURE HOW THEY WERE LEFT OUT.??? *TR

I FIRST NOTICED A "BURNING RUBBER SMELL" THAT MECHANICS COULD NOT DUPLICATE. AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. I BEGAN HEARING A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE THAT TO ME (A TOTAL CAR NOVICE) SOUNDED LIKE BELTS. BECAUSE OF THE POWER SURGES PROBLEMS AND NOT CHANGING GEARS (RPMS WERE LOW WHEN I ACCELERATE) I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (INSTEAD OF MY LOCAL MECHANIC) I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE IT THERE BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. APPARENTLY IT IS A "TRANSFER CASE" DEFECT THAT THEY ARE GOING TO REPAIR AT A HUGE EXPENSE TO ME. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER MURANO OWNERS, I WAS SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF MURANO TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS THERE ARE OUT THERE. I HAVE DEFINITELY LOST MY CONFIDENCE IN NISSANS BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

THE TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING ON THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE. THERE IS COMMON FAILURE OF THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS IN ALL NISSAN MURANOS FROM 2004-2008...THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM AND QUICK SEARCH ON THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET PRODUCES A VAST NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. THE TRANSFER CASE SEAL STARTS LEAKING ON ALL THESE MODELS AND THE TRANS-AXLE FLUID DRIPS ON THE VERY,VERY HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD PIPE JUST BELOW THE SEEM OF THE TRANSFER CASE WHERE IT MATES WITH THE CVT. THE CVT IS COVERED UNDER A 120,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THE TRANSFER CASE PORTION IS NOT. REGARDLESS THE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD POTENTIALLY START A FIRE AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF THE VEHICLE, THE PROPERTY AROUND IT OR A LOSS OF LIFE FROM A FIRE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE TO THE FULLEST. THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THE LOSS OF FLUID HAS CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL....THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE....IN ADDITION THE COST OF REPAIRS EXCEEDS 3000.00 DOLLARS. *TR

CAR STALLED 3 TIMES, ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND TWICE ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST GETTING INTO SEVERAL CAR ACCIDENTS DO TO INTAKE COMING APART. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERS TO GET FIXED FOUND OUT THE CAR WAS A RECALL, WASN'T HAPPY ABOUT THAT. THE CAR SALESMEN DID NOT TELL ME IT WAS RECALLED. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE RECONSIDERED GETTING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY SO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME THAT NISSAN HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ITS FUEL SENSORS FOR YEARS AND YEARS ON MANY OF ITS MODELS AND HAS IGNORED IT. NOW I'M REQUIRED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS ON A FAULTY PART TO THE TUNE OF $655 BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T PASS INSPECTION OTHERWISE. NISSAN HAS PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN (NTB07-069A) FOR CODE P0463 BUT WON'T HELP AT ALL WITH THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER REPAIRS EITHER. FAULKNER NISSAN, HARRISBURG, PA SOUNDED LIKE I WAS THE 100TH PERSON CALLING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I AM SINGLE MOTHER, WORKING FULL TIME, SAVING TO SEND A DAUGHTER TO COLLEGE. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY NISSAN MURANO KNOWING IT IS VITAL TO MY ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY. I WILL NOW NEED TO BREAK THE LAW TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO WORK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $655 FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS DOWNRIGHT WRONG. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY ITS PRODUCT AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR EITHER ACCELERATED OR DECELERATED EVEN THOUGH I MAINTAINED STEADY PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. I DID TAKE IT FOR REPAIR AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. LUCKILY, I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS STILL WITHIN THE WARRANTY TIME FRAME. MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP FOR OVER 8 WEEKS. I WAS TOLD THAT 2 NEW TRANSMISSIONS WERE PLACED IN MY CAR AND THEN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS. ALTHOUGH IT WAS "FIXED" IT HAS NOT DRIVEN QUITE THE SAME. NOW I AM HEARING A STRANGE SOUND FROM MY ENGINE AND THINK I'M IN FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF REPAIRS. I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND WANT TO KNOW IF NISSAN CORP. HAS ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

DRIVER SEAT IS BROKEN, SEAT IS ROCKING. NO WARNING THAT THE SEAT WOULD GIVE OUT. GOT IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WOULD MOVE. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL. *TR

BRACKET HOLDING DRIVERS SEAT BROKE. SEAT LIFTS UP ON LEFT SIDE. NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY DROP DOWN FROM THE HORIZONTAL POSITION WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER MINOR BUMP IMPAIRING THE DRIVERS VISION. SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF VISIBILITY CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF THEM UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO PUSH THE VISOR BACK UP TO THE HORIZONTAL POSITION. *TR

SEAT RAIL BROKE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE!! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I SEE IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

FAULTY SUN VISOR DROPS EASILY WHEN GOING OVER MINOR BUMP. IT CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR CRASH WHEN DISTRACTED TO RAISE THE SUN VISOR TO THE NORMAL POSITION. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN NISSAN MURANO'S EVERYWHERE. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET. *TR

MY WIFE GOT INTO THE CAR TO GO OUT AND HEARD A CRACK AND THE LEFT REAR SIDE SITTING DROPPED DOWN, TWISTING THE SEAT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I BRAKE BECAUSE THERE WAS TRAFFIC AHEAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT A POP AND THE SEAT DIPPED DOWN AND BACK. I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THE DISTRACTION OF THE SEAT BRAKING AND BRACING MYSELF SO THAT I DIDN'T FALL. THE SEAT THEN BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. I HAD TO SUSTAIN THE SEATS WITH BRICKS UNDERNEATH THE SEAT SO THAT I CAN BE ABLE TO DRIVE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DEALER AND THE RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER WAS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THAT THE OTHER REPLACEMENT SEATS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HE BASICALLY TOLD ME "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A NEW SEAT BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN". THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND IS BEYOND ME THAT NISSAN WILL NOT DO A RECALL ON THIS! IT IS AMAZING THAT SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. *TR

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 30 DEGREES, IT APPEARS THAT THE PIPES/HOSES BY WHICH THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID CIRCULATES TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FREEZE. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID IS FINE, BUT THE DRIVER CAN'T WASH THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THE WINDOW WASHER FLUID DOESN'T COME OUT. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN IT SNOWS AND THE STREETS HAVE BEEN TREATED. THE SLUSH/DIRTY SNOW FLOATING FROM OTHER CARS STICKS TO THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE WINDSHIELD GLASS GETS VERY DIRTY TO THE POINT THAT THE DRIVER CAN'T SEE WHERE HE/SHE IS DRIVING. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY RECOMMENDED TAKING THE CAR TO A GARAGE AND KEEPING IT RUNNING FOR TWO HOURS UNTIL THE PIPES THAW OUT. I DON'T HAVE A GARAGE, I AM AT WORK, AND I NEED TO DRIVE BACK HOME IN A SLUSHY SNOWY DAY, BUT I CAN'T WASH THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE WINDOW WIPERS BECAUSE THE FLUID IS NOT COMING OUT TO BE ABLE TO WASH IT. FRANKLY, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE BACK HOME. THE PIPES NEED TWO HOURS TO THAW OUT. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE! MY RIDE TO WORK IS 30 MINUTES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BRACKET FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE AND THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BRACKET WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

PEDALS ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO ARE MOVING ON THEIR ON ACCORD. APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE WIRING. DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $315 TO FIX. THEY HAD AGREED TWO YEARS AGO TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY NEVER DID. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
