DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BROKE WHILE DRIVING. THE SEAT ROCKED BACKWARDS AND WAS UNSTABLE DURING TURNS. IT BROKE DURING CITY DRIVING. I BELIEVE IF IT HAPPENED DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING, SOMEONE MIGHT LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. *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

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT JUST STARTED TO TILT TO ONE SIDE, AND ALSO FORWARD. IT IS LOOSE AND WILL TILT FORWARD/BACKWARD WHEN I DECELERATE/ACCELERATES. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, IT'S SORT OF STRUCTURAL FAILURE WITH THE ANCHOR OF THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE POWER DRIVER SEAT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT COLLAPSED. THIS CAUSED A TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. MY BROTHER IN LAW'S DRIVERS SEAT ALSO COLLAPSED. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR STORIES ON THE INTERNET. WHEN ASKING NISSANS CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER THEY TOOK 21 DAYS TO INVESTIGATE. THEY FINALLY TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THE $900 THAT WAS ESTIMATED TO FIX. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE FACT WE DID NOT HAVE OUR WARRANTY. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT TOOK 21 DAYS TO FIGURE THAT OUT! *TR

DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO QUIT WORKING THROUGH KEY FOB, DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IS TO PUT KEY INTO DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THEN MANUALLY UNLOCK ALL OTHERS, TO INCLUDE REAR HATCH. STARTED WITH FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THEN MADE ITS WAY AROUND THE CAR ONE DOOR AT A TIME. TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO I DIDN'T PURSUE. WANTING NISSAN TO FIX BECAUSE APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

APPROXIMATELY MAY/JUNE OF 2009, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DRIVER'S DOOR OF MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH KEY FOB. WHEN I ASKED IF THIS COULD BE REPAIRED BY LANDERS NISSAN, SOUTHAVEN, MS, I WAS TOLD COST OF $70 JUST TO LOOK AT PROBLEM. IN MAY OF 2010, I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM NOW INCLUDES FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND REAR HATCH LOCK.

(NO DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT TO VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN APRIL 2005). *TR
