SEATS
ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, I BEGIN TO NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ROCKING EVERY TIME I TURNED. THIS IS NOT A SLIGHT ROCKING. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SEAT MOVES 2-3 INCHES. I WAS ACTUALLY BUMPING INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE. IT SEEMS TO BE LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A "BROKEN BRACKET IN THE LINK ARM." THERE IS AN EXTENDED BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY ON THE CAR, BUT NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE PART. I DO NOT VIEW THIS AS A COSMETIC ISSUE OR A MINOR PROBLEM. I HAVE TRUE CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT WITH A LOOSE SEAT, ESPECIALLY IN A ROLLOVER. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS COME OFF THE TRACK ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, THE SEAT NOW LIFTS ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE WHICH IS UNSAFE AND UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE READ FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY NISSAN MURANO OWNERS CAUSING ME TO REPORT THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I WAS OUT COMPLETING LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WHEN MY CAR STARTING MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE THEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD NOR IN REVERSE. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHICH HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN WHICH INFORMED ME I WOULD NEED A NEW CVT, WHICH IRRITATES ME MORE BECAUSE I HAD JUST GOTTEN MY CAR SERVICED ON 18 DECEMBER 09 AND EVERYTHING WAS SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD TO GO. I FEEL COMPLETELY HELPLESS BECAUSE THE CAR AT MOST IS WORTH ONLY 8 TO 9,000. BY THE LOOKS OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS A NEW TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO RUN ME 3-5,000. I ENSURED I SERVICED MY MURANO ONLY BY NISSAN AT TIMES PRESCRIBED AND I'M FORCED TO SHELL OUT MORE MONEY ON A $32,000 VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO FALLS WHEN EVER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT YET BUT WHEN IT FALLS IT CAUSES ME TO LOOSE SIGHT OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AND ALSO CAUSES ME TO TAKE MY ATTENTION OFF OF DRIVING WHILE TRYING TO FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

OWN A 2004 NISSAN MURANO AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SUN VISORS TO FAIL AND HANG STRAIGHT DOWN WHILE DRIVING OBSTRUCTING YOUR VIEW OF THE ROAD. NISSAN PROBABLY DOES NOT SHOW ALOT OF REPLACEMENT VISOR BEING SOLD SINCE THEY CHARGE OVER $300.00 FOR EACH VISOR. JUST CAME FROM DEALER AND HE SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND TO JUST USE VELCRO????? *TR

THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT FALLS DOWN, CONSTANTLY AND BLOCKS MY HUSBAND'S VIEW (HE IS TALLER). IT DOESN'T BLOCK MY VIEW, BUT IS STARTLING WHEN IT DROPS DOWN AND IT DOES RESTRICT MY FIELD OF VISION. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. IT IS A $300 + REPLACEMENT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL DIFFERENT FORUMS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPLACED THE SAME PART MORE THAN ONCE. *TR
