WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DOING 25MPH TO THE INTERSECTION AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ON THE ALREADY GREEN LIGHT. WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN THE BACK LEFT PORTION OF MY SEAT LIFTED UP SEVERAL INCHES CAUSING ME TO LEAN SUDDENLY TO THE RIGHT. MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL THROUGH THE TURN. NOW WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS I HAVE TO HOLD ON TO MY DOOR HANDLE WITH MY LEFT HAND TO AVOID CAUSING THE SEAT TO LIFT AND LEAN EXTREMELY TO THE RIGHT EVEN UNDER MILD SPEED. ONCE I GOT HOME I TOOK THE LEFT SIDE PLASTIC PANEL OFF THE DRIVERS SEAT AND UPON LIFTING UP THE REAR LEFT CORNER OF THE SEAT COULD SEE WHERE THE CROSS SUPPORT BRACKET HAD BROKEN THE TWO SMALL CONTACT POINTS WITH THE SIDE BRACKET. WILL TRY TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO HOPEFULLY HAVE REPAIRED/REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE AND FALLS DOWN IN MY LINE OF SITE. IT WILL NOT STAY OPEN OR CLOSED. IT JUST HANGS DOWN, BLOCKING MY VIEW. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED IT FROM THE VEHICLE, AS THE DEALER WANTS $400 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN DURING DRIVING. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN DRIVERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME AND DIFFERENT YEAR MODEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NISSAN TO RECALL AND FIX. I HAVE NEARLY CRASHED DOZENS OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE VISOR FALLS DOWN AND BLOCKS MY VIEW. *TR

THE BRACKET HOLDING THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE REAR LEFT SECTION OF THE SEAT HAS BROKEN. THE CAR HAS 41,000 MILES AND IS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE RESULT IS A SEAT THAT NOW LEANS AND IS ONLY CONNECTED TO THE MOUNTING POINTS AT 3 LOCATIONS INSTEAD OF 4. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO (PURCHASED NEW JANUARY 2006) WITH ABOUT 45K MILES ON IT WHEN---WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVERS SEAT ROCKED TO THE LEFT/LEFT REAR, CLEARLY BROKEN. SIDE-TO-SIDE LURCHING MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA. THEY TOLD ME THE DRIVERS SEAT TRACK WAS BROKEN AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $1,035.09 TO REPAIR. THIS INCLUDED $675.30 DRIVERS SEAT TRACK PART. THE PART NUMBER LISTED ON THE ESTIMATE WAS 87450-CA06A THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE (47K AT TIME OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS). THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, PARTICULARLY IF ANY ACCIDENT OCCURRED, AT WHICH TIME A SECURED SEAT WOULD BE IMPERATIVE. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THIS BASIC EQUIPMENT HAS A LIFESPAN OF LESS THAN THREE YEARS, YET WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS INCIDENT ONLINE, I FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME "BROKEN SEAT" IN 2006 AND 2005 MURANO MODEL YEARS. *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. I THOUGHT MY SEAT WAS NOT ADJUSTED PROPERLY, BUT I NOW REALIZE THE SEAT IS BROKEN. THE SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT SO MUCH, THAT IT MAKES IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS ON A CAR WITH 40,000 MILES AND JUST THREE YEARS OLD. *TR

I HAD A FAILURE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO. AFTER CHECKING WITH THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (OLATHE NISSAN) I FOUND THE PART BROKEN WAS PART NUMBER 87450+A. REPLACEMENT OF THAT PORTION OF MY SEAT WILL RESULT IN A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $650.00 PARTS, PLUS LABOR FOR INSTALLATION. I'M STILL WITHIN THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD, BUT OVER THE 35K MILE AND WAS TOLD THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND SEEMS AS I HAVE BECOME A MEMBER OF A LARGE GROUP THAT CAN EXPECT THE POTENTIAL FOR HAVING THIS REPAIR EVERY 2 TO 3 YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, BUT NOT AT MY EXPENSE LIFE OR MONEY. THIS SHOULD BE VIEWED AS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT BROKE WHEN I WAS DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2006 NISSAN MURANO NOW WITH 45000 MILES ON IT. SINCE LESS THAN 5K MI, THE CAR DOES 2 THINGS THAT MAY BE IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER: 1) WHEN DRIVING AT CONSTANT SPEED ON FLAT ROAD BETWEEN 40 & 70+ MPH, THE RPM'S WILL JUMP UP 500-1000RPMS FOR A BRIEF MOMENT- ALMOST FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AND THEN BACK IN. OR COULD BE THAT IT DETECTS A SLIGHT PRESSURE ON PEDAL (LINKAGE/SENDER WHATEVER) AND DOWNSHIFTS THEN JUMPS BACK DOWN? IT DOES THIS WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AS WELL. 2) ALSO, ACCELERATION IS SLUGGISH WHEN LEISURELY PROCEEDING FROM A STOP, OR VERY SLOW SPEED (SAY MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN FROM A STOP OF SLOW PACE). WHILE PUSHING ON PEDAL, RPMS AND ENGINE WILL ACTUALLY DECREASE TO ABOUT 1000-1500RPS CAUSING CAR TO LAG (BIG SAFETY ISSUE FOR I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY OTHER CARS DUE TO THIS). DOES NOT DO IF I DO A HARD ACCELERATE (BUT I DON'T DRIVE THAT WAY...JACK RABBIT STARTS). DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED #1 AND REPLACED TRANNY. STILL DID IT BOTH PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP REPLACED COMPUTER FOR TRANNY. STILL DOES BOTH, BUT #1 DOES NOT HAPPEN AS OFTEN (USED TO HAPPEN 3+ TIMES IN A 15 MINUTE PERIOD OF LESS, NOT DOES 1-3X PER HOUR MAYBE- I HAVE STOPPED TRACKING). I LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW WHEN I BRING FOR SERVICE, BUT I GIVE UP- CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. I'LL RETURN THE LEASE. TOO BAD- LOVE THE CAR, JUST FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIND. I HAVE FOUND OTHER REPORTS OF SAME LIKE PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT UNEXPECTEDLY COLLAPSED BACKWARDS. THE DRIVER MANEUVERED THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN TO HER RESIDENCE AND THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE SEAT FRAME BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS INOPERATIVE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 43,633.

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKEN AT REAR LEFT CORNER RESULTING THE SEAT ROCKING WHEN CORNERING AND EVENTUALLY COLLAPSING AT THE LEFT REAR CORNER. DEALER REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OFFERED TO REDUCE THE PART PRICE TO DEALER COST ($750.00) WITH NO REDUCTION IN LABOR COSTS. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE, THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND MUST BE RECALLED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE'S CURRENT PROBLEM IS THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS MALFUNCTIONED, AND DEFECTED WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE AND BATTERY TO SHUT OFF AND DIE. THIS ALREADY OCCURRED MORE THAN 3 TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE OIL TANK PIPE LEAKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN THE DEFECTED ALTERNATOR FAILS, THEN IT CAUSES THE BATTERY AND ENGINE TO SHUT OFF AND DIE. IF A PERSON IS DRIVING A DEFECTED VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECTED AND MALFUNCTIONED ALTERNATOR THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUTOFF AND DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR STREET THEN A HUGE ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR AND IT WILL CAUSE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO DIE OR EVEN GET SEVERELY OR PERMANENTLY INJURED. THIS VEHICLE DEFINITELY HAS A RECALL, MALFUNCTIONED, AND DEFECTED ALTERNATOR. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT BUT THEY NEVER ADMIT THAT IT IS THE DEFECTED ALTERNATOR PROBLEM AND NEVER FIX IT. THEY JUST PROVIDE AND INSTALL A NEW BATTERY IN MY VEHICLE. BUT THAT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE BATTERY POWER GETS DRAINED AND IT DIES AND SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE. THIS ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME OVER 3 TIMES AND NISSAN'S SERVICE DEPT NEVER RESOLVES THIS IMPORTANT PROBLEM. THIS URGENT PROBLEM NEEDS TO TAKEN CARED OF ASAP OR ELSE IT WILL BE DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S LIFE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I DRIVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO SL. THE VEHICLE PERIODICALLY DOES NOT SAFELY ACCELERATE WHILE IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I HAD MY WIFE, 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE SLUGGISHLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION AND TEMPORARILY STALLED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED US TO BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO ABOUT 4000 RPM'S THEN PROCEEDING TO ACCELERATE. I SEE THIS PROBLEM AS A MAJOR SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE AND CAN BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF A MAJOR ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DEATH TO INVOLVED PARTIES. PLEASE BE PROACTIVE AS OPPOSED TO REACTIVE AND START THE PROCESS FOR A RECALL OF THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *TR
