FRONT SEAT HAS BECOME LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THEY CALLED TO LET ME KNOW IT WOULD COST 1000.00 FOR THE PART AND 200.00 FOR LABOR. IN A STRUGGLING ECONOMY I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. THIS SEAT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN AS I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE MANY OTHER OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, I HEARD A SNAP AND MY SEAT COLLAPSED, SHIFTING TO THE LEFT. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INJURING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I AM BEING CHARGED $1000.00 TO REPAIR, WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

SUN VISOR IN 2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH 55K MILES DOESN'T STAY UP ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS STARTED HAPPENING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT'S LOOSE WHEN IN THE UP POSITION, AND IF THE CAR HITS A BUMP, IT FALLS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH IT DOWN ALL THE TIME, AND QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN IT'S UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN FALLS WHEN DRIVING. IT COSTS $375 FOR A REPLACEMENT VISOR. BOTH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THE CORPORATION REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE COST OF THE PART, AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT, ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH (AND THE LOCAL DEALER'S OWN ADMISSION), NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THIS ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, YET IS COST-PROHIBITIVE TO HAVE FIXED. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR ON 2005 MURANO HAS LOST ITS ABILITY TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION RELIABLY, CAUSING IT TO DROP INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT FREQUENTLY AND WITH NO NOTICE, CAUSING A TOTAL OBSCURITIES OF THE ROAD. HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE RAMPANT IN THIS MODEL CAR. ONLY SOLUTION FROM DEALER IS TO CHARGE AN OUTRAGEOUS $400 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER OF MY 12 CARS OWNED. *TR

BROKEN FRAME ASSEMBLY IN DRIVER'S SEAT FOR 2006 NISSAN MURANO. NORMAL WEAR & TEAR, NO SPECIFIC EVENT CAUSED THIS DAMAGE. THE SEAT ROCKS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SEAT BRACKET AND LIFT MOTOR ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THE REPAIR COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO BE $680. THIS IS NOT A WEARABLE PART THAT IS EVER SUPPOSED TO BREAK, AND WAS POORLY DESIGNED. *TR

2004 NISSAN MURANO, NORMAL USAGE OF THE DRIVER SEAT, NOTICED SEAT ROCKING 9 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT "CERTIFIED USED", TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER, WAS TOLD IT WAS A BROKEN SEAT BRACKET, COST TO REPAIR $948 + TAX. THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS IS ENDLESS! THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW, A SEAT SHOULD NEVER BREAK LIKE THIS UNDER NORMAL WEAR, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NISSAN AFTER SO MANY DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS. *TR
