SEATS, SUSPENSION
1. PURCHASED 2006 NISSAN MURANO IN MAY 2010 WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. AT 40,000 MILES THE FRONT LEFT TIRE STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. 2. AT 47,000 MILES WHEEL BEARING ON FRONT LEFT TIRE WENT BAD. AT 51,000 MILES WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND HEARD A SNAP AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSED AND NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH MAKING IT NOT ONLY UNSAFE BUT ALSO UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. 3. PAID $500 TO GET THE WHEEL BEARING REPAIRED ON THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR INTO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET THE SEAT LOOKED AT AND WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE A $1300 REPAIR BECAUSE NISSAN DOES NOT MAKE THE PART THAT WAS DEFECTIVE, THEREFORE WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE ENTIRE SEAT REPLACED. THESE ARE BOTH SAFETY ISSUES AND THERE ARE 1,000'S OF COMPLAINTS ON BOTH OF THESE ISSUES YET NISSAN STILL REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OR RECALL THE PARTS. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE AND IS NOW LISTING HEAVILY TO ONE SIDE. NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED BUT NOTICED THAT DURING THE RESETTING (BETWEEN BUTTONS 1 AND 2) THAT THE SEAT WOULD ONLY RAISE ON THE RIGHT, NOT LEFT. THAT WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO. TODAY, WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE I WAS WIPING THE SEATS DOWN AND NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE UNIT IS UNSTABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND I'M SHOCKED BY THE APPARENT LACK OF NISSAN'S RESPONSE. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED NISSAN YET BUT WILL DO SO IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE EARLIEST I CAN GET THE MURANO INTO THE DEALERSHIP IS TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY. A POOR WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR FLOPS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY POSITIONED CORRECTLY TO SHIELD THE SUN. I EITHER HAVE TO DRIVE W/O THE VISOR AND BE BLINDED BY THE SUN OR I HAVE MY VIEW OBSTRUCTED FROM THE FLOPPY SUNVISOR BEING RIGHT IN MY LINE OF VISION. THE FAILURE OCCURS ANYTIME I TRY AND USE THE VISOR. THIS STARTED WHEN MY MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND I DRIVE A 2006 MURANO. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. MY NISSAN DEALER QUOTED ME AT $433.18 TO REPAIR THE VISOR. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN MURANOS. *TR

SUN VISORS IN 2006 NISSAN MURANO FAIL REPEATEDLY ANED WILL FLOP DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ONGOING SINCE AT LEAST 2005 MODELS NOT LIITED TO MURANO ONLY. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH POSTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND DEALERSHIPS ARE REPLACING WITH THE SAME PART THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY AS THESE NEW VISORS FAIL AS WELL. IT STARTED WHEN ONLY HITTING A BUMP. NOW IT OCCURS DURING NORMAL DRIVING INCLDUING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS.

FLOPPY SUN VISORS 2006 NISSAN MURANO. BOTH SUN VISORS WILL NO LONGER REMAIN IN PLACE. THEY IMPAIR/BLOCK SIGHT AND ARE VERY DISTRACTING. THIS MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS YOU HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING WITH THE VISORS TO MOVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE. MANY, MANY OTHER MURANO DRIVERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS/RECALL BEFORE MAJOR ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL SINCE YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING THE FLOPPY VISOR OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE. NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT WITH A VISOR CONSTANTLY IN YOUR WAY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. IT IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN MALFUNCTION. THIS PROBLEM IS JUST AS BAD AS PEOPLE DRIVING WHILE ON THEIR CELL PHONES. DANGEROUS. *TR

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2006 AND I AM THE SECOND OWNER...I GOT THIS CAR ON MARCH 2010. ON FEB 15TH 2011, WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR AND PUT THE KEY IN IGNITION I HEARD A POPPING SOUND IN THE DRIVER SIDE CAR SEAT ...SINCE THEN THE CAR SEAT IS ROCKING TOWARDS THE LEFT BACK SIDE AND SEEMS LIKE IT CAN FALL ANYTIME...I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID ITS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MURANO AND WILL COST 1100$. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED AND YOU GUYS SHOULD TAKE A PROPER ACTION AGAINST THE CAR MANUFACTURER...I CAN SEE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF POSTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM ONLINE....SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I BELIEVE YOU WILL DO THE NEEDFUL THANKS *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. THE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN AN UP POSITION THIS PROBLEM INTERFERES WITH MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. TODAY I TOOK MY MURANO IN FOR SERVICE WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THAT IT WOULD COST ME $420 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING AND REPLACING THESE VISORS IMMEDIATELY.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND MY DRIVERS SEAT BROKE. I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND LOOKED UNDER MY SEAT AND SAW THAT THE BRACKET ON THE LEFT SIDE HAD BROKEN IN TWO PLACES. AFTER LOOKING UP THIS INFORMATION ON LINE I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 100K COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR NISSAN MURANO FROM YEARS 2004-2006. *TR

WHEN YOU TRY TO USE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR, IT WILL ONLY WORK IN THE COMPLETELY DOWN POSITION. AS I AM 5'-7" TALL, THE VISOR IN THIS POSITION ALMOST COMPLETELY BLOCKS MY VIEW. SOME OTHER TIMES IT JUST DROPS DOWN ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2006. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2006, NISSAN MURANO, DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME HAS BROKEN. IT WOBBLES AS I DRIVE.THE SEAT BRACKET ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT BROKE AND NOW THE SEAT ROCKS AROUND WHEN DRIVING IT. THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS STILL WORK, BUT THE SEAT ROCKS SEVERELY WHEN MAKING A TURN OR DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD. I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WOULD COST 1100 TO REPLACE THE SEAT. IF THEY LOOKED AT IT TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS BROKEN, THEY WOULD CHARGE ME 105. *TR
