ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK FAILURE, 2004 NISSAN MURANO SE. WHETHER ACTIVATED FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR BUTTON OR BY REMOTE FOB AND WHETHER FOR LOCK OR UNLOCK, ELECTROMECHANICAL RESPONSE AT EACH AFFECTED DOOR IS TOO WEAK, REQUIRING MANUAL LOCK/UNLOCK. PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTENT AT EACH DOOR ALTHOUGH ALL 4 DOORS HAVE NOT WORKED SIMULTANEOUSLY IN 2-3 YRS. DRIVER'S DOOR IS THE ONLY ONE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED SO FAR. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN MURANO AND I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS. THEY WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND I'VE HEARD FROM MY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR FIRE, MY WIFE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS IN A TIMELY MANNER TO ESCAPE THE CAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NISSAN BEFORE A SERIOUS PROBLEM OCCURS THAT COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE. AGAIN...THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG MURANO OWNERS. THANK YOU *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO - LEFT HAND (DRIVER'S SIDE) SUN VISOR FAILURE TO STAY FLUSH WITH ROOF. THE PART FALLS INTO THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER CREATING A SAFETY CONCERN. THE FAILURE OCCURS CONSTANTLY. TO CORRECT THE ISSUE A $404 PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED FROM NISSAN ($404 FOR A SUN VISOR WITH A LIGHTED VANITY MIRROR, SERIOUSLY???) NISSAN SHOULD TAKE ACTION AND RECALL THIS PART BASED ON HUNDREDS OF OCCURRENCES BEING DISCUSSED ON FORUMS. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO SEAT BROKEN MOUNT. METAL MOUNT TO SEAT BASE HAS SHEARED OFF UNDER NORMAL USE CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. SEAT MOVES VOLUNTARILY. AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THROUGH INSPECTION OF PART , A $1000 REPLACEMENT IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

THE SEAT IN MY NISSAN MURANO WHILE I WAS TURNING THE SEAT JUST BROKE AND SENT ME SHIFTING AND MOVING TO THE LEFT. NOW MY SEAT ROCKS AND DOESN'T FEEL SECURE WHEN TURNING. IF THAT WAS TO BREAK DURING AN ACCIDENT IT COULD SEND THE PERSON TO FLY OUT. *TR

THE SUN VISORS ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, FAIL TO STAY IN PLACE. THEY CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN AND ARE IN THE LINE OF VISION OF THE DRIVER. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER IS MOMENTARILY BLINDED AT THE LEAST. IT ALSO CAUSES THE DRIVER TO JUMP AND MAY HAVE AN END RESULT OF A JERKED WHEEL. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT THE $400 ESTIMATE FOR EACH SHADE SEEMS FAR TOO STEEP TO PAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR NISSAN MURANOS OF ALL YEARS. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME SNAPPED IN HALF. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE ACTUAL FRAME TO HAVE BROKEN. IT IS VERY LOOSE AND WOBBLY AND THEREFORE VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT WOULD NOT HOLD UP IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BREAK WITH NO REASON AS IT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE EXCESSIVE INJURY AS A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TOTALLY UNEXPECTEDLY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT TILTED BACKWARDS ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AS I LOST CONTROL FOR A WHILE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GARAGE AFTER WEDGING THE SEAT STATIONARY WITH BLOCKS OF WOOD. THE MECHANIC SAID THE WELD ON THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE AND THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX AT A COST OF $1100. DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET NISSAN TO REPAIR WHAT WAS CLEARLY A FAULTY DESIGN THAT CAUSED METAL FATIGUE, THE SEAT STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IN A SHORT TIME ABOUT 200 INSTANCES OF THIS BRACKET BREAKING IN THIS SAME SPOT. THIS CAR HAS ONLY ABOUT 38,000 MILES AND HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN BY MYSELF. *TR
