SEAT BRACKET BROKE CAUSING SEAT TO WOBBLE SIDE TO SIDE, WEAKENING OTHER POINTS OF ATTACHMENT. I HAD THE SEAT BRACKET WELDED TWICE SO FAR AND IT HAS REBROKEN TWICE. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALED THAT THESE BRACKETS BREAK VERY FREQUENTLY IN 2003-2008 NISSAN MURANOS, EVEN THOSE WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. NISSAN RECOGNIZES THAT THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN, AS THEIR REPLACEMENT PART IS MUCH STRONGER AND TOTALLY DIFFERENT, YET NO RECALL. QUITE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR SEAT COMES LOOSE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING! SEATS SHOULD NOT DISCONNECT FROM THE CAR WITH NORMAL WEAR. I WEIGH 170 POUNDS, NOT ABOVE AVERAGE FOR A FULL GROWN ADULT DRIVER. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY SUN VISORS, BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE & PASSENGER SIDE, WILL NOT STAY UP. THE DEALER HAS REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE THREE TIMES NOW & THE PASSENGER SIDE 4 TIMES AND IT WORKS FOR AWHILE BUT THEN THEY FALL DOWN AGAIN. THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR IS A REAL HAZARD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE! I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE. I LOGGED ONTO A MURANO FORUM AND FOUND OUT IT IS HAPPENING A LOT WITH OTHER OWNERS AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM SAY IT IS NOT THE VISOR ITSELF BUT THE CLIPS THEY FIT INTO. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE REALIZED HOW MANY TIMES THEY WERE REPLACING THEM AND INVESTIGATED IT FURTHER FOR A PERMANENT FIX. *TR

GOT IN MY CAR AND FELT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT TILT. THE ARM UNDER THE SEAT BROKE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE INTERNET. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO FATALITIES AS OF YET, IT IS A PROBLEM NISSAN IS AWARE OF YET WILL NOT FIX. IT COSTS $500 AT MY NISSAN DEALER TO FIX THE SEAT BECAUSE IT IS "OUT OF WARRANTY". I KNOW THAT THIS PROBABLY WILL JUST BE PUT IN A FILE BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOME FAMILY OUT THERE WILL BE MISSING A FAMILY MEMBER IN DEATH DUE TO A FIXABLE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO DEAL WITH. *TR

THE INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM AND THE KEY FOB DO NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS CONSISTENTLY. THEY DO NOT UNLOCK THE DRIVER OR FRONT PASSENGER DOORS AT ALL, AND FROM TIME TO TIME WILL UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN
CAR DEVELOPED LOAD RUMBLING IN THE FRONT END. PROGRESSIVELY GETTING LOUDER. CAR THEN BEGAN TO SURE AND OR LOOSE POWER AT RANDOM INTERVALS .. AS SO MANY OTHERS HAVE STATED CVT FAILING. LEARNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE FACT. WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD FILED COMPLAINTS WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE OR HELP FROM NISSAN. NO RECALL NO HELP GETTING CAR CREDIT, AS IT IS VALUELESS IN TRADE AT DEALER. FORTUNATE THAT MINE SEEMED TO LAST LONGER THAN MOST. COST 4 TO 6 THOUSAND TO FIX... MORE THAN CAR IS WORTH AT THIS POINT. LEFT WITH NO WAY GETTING RID OF IT OR GETTING NEW VEHICLE. CAR THAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAVE GOOD TRADE IN VALUE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH. BEEN OFFERED 1000 MAX FOR IT AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERS. SHOCKED THAT A COMPANY SIZE OF NISSAN WOULD NOT WORK WITH THERE CUSTOMERS... AT LEAST OFFERING REASONABLE COMPENSATION FOR CURRENT VALUE OF VEHICLE. IM SURE NISSAN WILL NEVER BE CONSIDERED IN MY CAR BUYING DECISIONS AGAIN. PROBLEM HAS POTENTIAL TO BE DEADLY FOR EVERYONE IN VEHICLE AS THE CAR LOOSES POWER OR SURGES WITHOUT WARNING. I AM SURE THEY WILL BE SUED SHORTLY WHEN AN ENTIRE FAMILY LOOSES THERE LIFE BECAUSE NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT THE LEFT REAR CORNER OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT DROPPED ABOUT 3-4 INCHES. I WAS NOW LEANING BACK AND TO THE LEFT IN A VERY WEIRD POSITION. I HAD A HARD TIME REACHING THE PEDALS AS THE FRONT OF THE SEAT WAS NOW MUCH HIGHER THAN THE REAR SO MY LEGS WERE PULLED BACK FROM THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. I COULD PULL MYSELF BACK UP AND "BALANCE" ON THE THREE OTHER SEAT MOUNTS THAT WERE STILL GOOD BUT I HAD TO PULL ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO DO SO AND THAT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT A SOON AS I COULD. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED I COULD AT LEAST HAVE A STABLE SEAT IF I LOWERED IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE BROKEN SEAT MOUNT NOW RESTS ON THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE WHICH WORKS FOR ME AS I'M FAIRLY TALL AND CAN STILL OPERATE THE CAR. HOWEVER, ANYONE A BIT SHORTER THAN ME CANNOT DRIVE SAFELY AS THEY CANT ADJUST THE SEAT UP ANY LONGER. I'M GLAD I WAS DRIVING FAIRLY SLOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS IT WAS QUITE AN ABRUPT AND STARTLING CHANGE IN DRIVING POSITION AND SEEMS QUITE DANGEROUS IF DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR IF SOMEONE HAS A DIFFERENT REACTION TO SUCH AN EVENT. *JS

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS BEGAN TO FAIL IN OUR 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THEY STOPPED RESPONDING SUDDENLY AND WHEN WE THOUGHT THE CAR WAS LOCKED, IT WAS IN FACT OPENED, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND USUALLY ALL ACTUATOR GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. WE HAVE REPLACED DRIVER'S DOOR ACTUATOR (THAT COST US $400) AND NOW HAVE TO DEAL WITH OTHER 3. HOPEFULLY NISSAN WILL RECOGNIZE THIS AS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND WILL ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DOOR ACTUATORS FAILED. DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO LOCK AND UN-LOCK. OCCURRED AT VARIOUS TIMES, USING ANY MEANS AVAILABLE TO LOCK AND UN-LOCK THE DOORS: THE KEY FOB, INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS BUTTON ON DOOR, AND MANUAL MANIPULATION OF THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCK(S). THE ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED WITH ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS AND REAR HATCH. HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET IN OR LOCK THE VEHICLE EXCEPT MANUAL USE OF KEY. UNFORTUNATELY THE REAR HATCH DOES NOT HAVE A MANUAL SYSTEM AND THEREFORE CAN'T BE LOCKED OR OPENED. SAFETY ISSUE! *TR
