THE DRIVERS SEAT LIFTER LINK ASSEMBLY ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO BROKE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DESGIN FLAW THAT IS COMMON IN MANY MURANOS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER ORDERING NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES THRU A RECALL. IT APPEARS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION, NISSAN IS NOT MOTIVATED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE DESIGN AND IS FORCING BUYERS TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS AND INTRODUCES A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *KB

I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN MY DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSED ON THE LEFT SIDE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY SELLING DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE AT THAT POINT. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN MURANOS, HOWEVER NO RECALL AND COSTLY TO REPAIR. ON MONDAY 8/8/11, I CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO INQUIRE OF THIS ISSUE AND RECEIVED THE WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH COSTS 70 DOLLARS FOR NISSAN CORPORATE TO REVIEW THE REPORT BEFORE ASSISTING FURTHER. IS NISSAN WAITING FOR DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY BEFORE HELPING THEIR CUSTOMERS? *TR

INTERNAL MOUNTING BRACKET SUPPORTING THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN WHILE ROUNDING A CORNER CAUSING MY HANDS TO SLIP OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAR DID STRIKE THE CURB. THE SEAT NOW WILL FLOP FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $700+ REPAIR, THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN IN THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE MODEL CARS. NISSAN HAS SENT OUT A TSA FOR THIS REPAIR. BUT THE PROBLEM IS CONIC AND EXPENSIVE. NO AFTER MARKED PARTS AVAILABLE. NISSAN PARTS ONLY AND THE REPLACEMENTS ARE FAILING ALSO. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH 68K MILES ONLY PURCHASED FROM DEALER LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS A BROKEN DRIVER'S SEAT. WHILE DRIVING, MY LEFT SIDES OF THE SEAT COLLAPSED AND NOW ROCKS BACK AND FOURTH WHILE DRIVING, TURNING, AND STOPPING. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADVISE AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AS WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD SON AT THE TIME THE CHAIR COLLASPED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FROM NISSAN? *TT

GOING 40 MPH, SUDDENLY I HEARD A CRACK NOISE, AND DRIVERS SEAT BECAME UNSTABLE, WIGGLY. BEFORE PULLING OVER I NEEDED TO MAKE A TURN, AND THAT WAS DANGEROUS- ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT ELEVATED DURING A TURN. AS IT WAS EXPLAINED LATER BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP MY CAR EXPERIENCED DRIVERS SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY FAILURE. WHICH IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE?!?! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY DOING U TURNS!! THE SEAT CANNOT BE FIXED IN THE DESIRED POSITION, IT MOVES AROUND LIKE I AM OPERATING MY CAR ON A KITCHEN STOOL.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UP POSITION. WHEN VEHICLE WENT IN @ 30 DAYS OR SO, I REPORTED THIS WITH SOME OTHER MINOR NEEDED REPAIRS. IT WAS THE DEALERSHIP ON PEARL RD., ROUTE 42 IN BRUNSWICK THAT ALSO HANDLED SUBARU'S. IT WAS ORIGINALLY A LEASED VEHICLE UNDER ALLIED LEASING. I REPORTED PROBLEM AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 24 MONTHS. THEN - I REPORTED IT AGAIN WHEN CAR WENT IN FOR SERVICE IN JANUARY OF 2011. VISOR NO LONGER ADJUSTABLE - WON'T REMAIN IN UP POSITION - FLOPS DOWN IN FRONT OF YOUR EYE BLOCKING VISION CONSTANTLY. REPLACEMENT ESTIMATE FROM DEALER $300-$400 FOR PART EVEN IF WE INSTALL OURSELVES! IMPORTANT - REPEATING PROBLEM BACK TO 1996 SENTRAS. MANY COMPLAINTS FOUND ON THE INTERNET! NISSAN REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AS WELL AS POST WARRANTY! YOU ARE EITHER TRYING TO SEE UNDERNEATH IT...SWING IT TO THE SIDE OUT OF THE WAY - BUT THEN YOUR EYES HAVE NO PROTECTION AGAINST BLINDING SUNLIGHT! NOT ONLY DANGEROUS - BUT UNCOMFORTABLE AND INCONVENIENT. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING IF VISOR WAS REASONABLY PRICED - BUT NISSAN PRICES IT OBSCENELY!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
COOLANT WAS LEAKING ON DRIVEWAY, FOUND THAT THE TENSIONER BRACKET IS CRACKED AND IS RUBBING UP AGAINST A COOLANT HOSE, CAUSING A BREACH IN HOSE AND LEAKAGE. THE DEALERSHIP IS QUOTING ME OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE TENSIONER BRACKET AND ASSOCIATED PULLEY AND "SCREW". I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE ASKING THEM TO EITHER FIX FOR FREE OR DISCOUNT THE SERVICE. THEY SAID ITS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I SEE ALOT OF THIS EXACT COMPONENT FAILURE REPORTED ONLINE, I HOPE NISSAN PONIES UP SOMEDAY. *TT

VISIBILITY
DRIVING IS THE EVENT LEADING TO THE FAILURE. DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION AND FALLS DOWN IN FRONT OF DRIVERS EYES WITHOUT WARNING OR HESITATION. THIS WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DRIVER LOSING EYE CONTACT WITH TRAFFIC AND THE ROAD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE POWER LOCKS DO NOT WORK ALL THE TIME WHEN USING THE FOB OR THE SWITCH INSIDE THE DOOR. THE DOORS AND LIFT GATE DO NOT ALWAYS LOCK OR UNLOCK. MY WIFE HAS BEEN LOCKED OUT OF THE CAR IN THE MEIJERS PARKING LOT WITH OUR TWO SMALL CHILDREN UNABLE TO GET IN CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, FIRE, SEVERE WEATHER THAT MY FAMILY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN OR OUT (DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION) OF THE CAR IN A TIMELY MANNER CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT ALL APPEARS THAT NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE FRONTIER PICKUP FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. WE NOW HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE UNLOCKED AT ALL TIMES SO WE CAN GET IN AND OUT WITHOUT INCIDENT. PLEASE CALL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANKS.

STEERING
HIGH SIDE POWER STEERING HOSE ON NISSAN MURANO. 2003-2007 THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. A FACTORY RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE HIGH SIDE POWER STEERING FLUID LINE ON THE NISSAN MURANO. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN MURANO FROM MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET. THE DEXTRON FLUID IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD CHILD AND NISSANS CONCERN SHOULD BE ABOUT PEOPLES SAFETY AND NOT MONEY! I WAS ALSO INFORMED FROM A FEW NISSAN DEALERS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MURANOS. *TR
