DRIVERS SIDE VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP AND DROPS DOWN TO BLOCK DRIVING VISION. REQUIRES 1 HAND TO HOLD VISOR OUT OF THE LINE OF SIGHT TO LEAVE ONE HAND ONLY FOR DRIVING. CREATES A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION AND CREATES UN DUE ANXIETY. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO FOR OVER 4 YEARS EVER SINCE I OWNED IT I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR. THE VISOR CANNOT STAY UP AND IT ALWAYS FALLS TO THE POINT TO WHERE IT IS IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAVE USED VELCRO IN THE PAST BUT I HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE NOW THE VELCRO IS FAILING. I WAS PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL THE OTHER DAY AND THE VISOR FELL IN FRONT OF ME IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS CRYING AND VERY FRIGHTENED AS WAS I. I AM HOPING THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE AS THIS VISOR ISSUE IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WHERE LIVES ARE IN DANGER. *TR

ON 12/28/10 I WAS RETURNING FROM A SKIING TRIP AND STOPPED WITH MY KIDS FOR SOME FAST FOOD. UPON RETURNING TO MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, I OPENED THE DOOR AND AS SOON AS I SAT ON THE DRIVERS SEAT, I HEARD A "BANG" AND THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT SANK. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE LEFT REAR MOUNTING BRACKET ON THE SEAT HAD SNAPPED. MY VEHICLE IS 5 YRS. OLD AND I JUST HIT 165,000 MILES. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE OWNED 8 OTHER CARS PRIOR TO THIS MURANO AND HAVE PUT MILEAGE ON THEM RANGING FROM 157,000 (CHEVY MALIBU) TO 98,000 (DODGE SPIRIT) AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A PROBLEM. A SEAT BRACKET IS A NON-MOVING PART AND IS CRITICAL TO DRIVER/PASSENGER SAFETY IN THAT IT KEEPS THE OCCUPANT STABLE SO THAT THE SEAT BELTS CAN PROPERLY RESTRAIN IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. NOW WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT I TIP TO THE LEFT (TOWARDS THE DOOR) AND THE SEAT MOVES UP/DOWN WHEN I MAKE TURNS. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CONDITION. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN INTERNET FORUMS AND IT JUST SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO ME THAT A METAL, NON-MOVING PART SITUATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE (AND NOT SUBJECT TO RUST OR WHETHER) THAT IS SO CRITICAL TO SAFETY SHOULD JUST SPONTANEOUSLY FAIL. IF I WERE A LARGER PERSON, I COULD POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND, HOWEVER, AT 200LBS. I AM NOT MUCH OUT OF THE RANGE OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN MALE AND SUCH A PART SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO HANDLE SUCH STRESSES. GOD KNOWS HOW THIS BRACKET WOULD HAVE HANDLED A CRASH! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED VIA A RECALL AS IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN DEALERS ARE CHARGING FROM $500 TO $1,200 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SAFETY RELATED COMPONENT!! *TR

DURING THE COURSE OF NORMAL, ROUTINE AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME LOOSE AND BEGAN TO ROCK/MOVE. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT SEAT MOUNT FOR DRIVER'S SEAT WAS BROKEN AT A WELD SPOT, COMPROMISING THE INTEGRITY OF THE MOUNTING. NO COLLISSION OR OTHER ABNORMAL EVENT PRECIPITATED THE INCIDENT. THIS WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT IN THE SEAT MOUNT WITH SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG, I TOOK A SLIGHT TURN AND HEARD A CRACK SOUND. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF MY DRIVER SEAT FELL, UPON STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I FOUND I CAN NOW EASILY "ROCK" MY DRIVER SEAT UP/DOWN. DUE TO THIS, I HAVE SEVERE BACK STRAIN WHILE DRIVING ALONG WITH GREAT CONCERNS OF SAFETY, IF I GO OVER A BUMP WILL MY FOOT SLIP OFF THE ACCELERATOR OR BRAKE? IF, IN AN ACCIDENT WILL I END UP IN THE BACK SEAT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE? IS MY YOUNG FAMILY IN JEOPARDY? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MURNAO HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WTH ALL OIL CHANGES/SCHD MX DONE BY THE BOOK. COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I WAS SITTING IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU AND THE CAR ABRUPTLY DIED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT BACK OFF AFTER A RESTART. THEN YESTERDAY IT DIED WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP SIGN AT APROX 15 MPH. THIS TIME THE SERVICE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER THE RESTART. AGAIN THIS MORNING IT DIED, THIS TIME IN TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING AT APROX 50 MPH. PARKED THE MURANO AND BORROWED A FRIENDS CAR FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. DID MY HOMEWORK ONLINE AND NOTICED THE RECALL FOR THIS ENGINE STALL. GOT THE ENGINE CODES FROM A LOCAL SHOP AND SUPRISE; CAMSHAFT POSITION/CRANK POSITION SENSORS. OF COURSE WHEN I CALLED NISSAN MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL 03V455000. CONTACTED LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, EST REPAIR COSTS $600+. NISSAN IS NOT HOLDING UP ITS END OF THIER DEAL ON THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE TAKE NOTE, DO NOT BUY NISSAN.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SUN VISORS FALL TO THE DOWN POSITION WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. THIS CAN CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THE COST TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VISOR SEEMS ABSURDLY HIGH ESPECIALLY WHEN I LOOK AT SEVERAL FORUMS OF MURANO OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I NOW DRIVE WITH MY HAND HOLDING THE VISOR IN THE "UP" POSITION WHICH IS ALSO A HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND IN ORDER TO SEE WITHOUT THE VISOR FALLING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE WEB AND SAW SEVERAL MURANO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. AT WHAT POINT OR HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED TO RECEIVE IN ORDER TO RECALL THE ITEM? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR NOTIFY THE MEDIA TO SEEK ACTION? *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE SUN VISOR ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSAGER SIDE SWING DOWN AND BLOCK THE VISION OF THE DRIVER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE VISORS IS $800.00, AT THIS COST IT MAKES YOU THING NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CHOOSES TO MAKE A PROFIT ON THESE INSTEAD ON CONSIDERING THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AFTER READING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS. *LN

I HAVE A VERY HARD TIME PUMPING GAS INTO MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO S. AFTER A GALLON OR TWO THE FUEL PUMP HANDLE WILL KICK OFF AND STOP PUMPING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE VENTING SYSTEM. I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE IN 2006. I ENDED UP PICKING IT UP AND THEN TAKING IT RIGHT BACK BECAUSE I COULDN'T PUT GAS INTO IT AT THE STATION DOWN THE ROAD. IT WAS AGAIN SERVICED FOR THE SAME THING IN 2008 AND THEN AGAIN IN 2009. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BACK IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT. I HAVE TO PUMP GAS INTO A PORTABLE GAS CAN AND THEN POUR IT INTO THE MURANO. *LN
