SEATS
DRIVER'S SEAT HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE TRACK. WHEN YOU STOP THE SEAT MOVES FORWARD AND WHEN YOU START TO DRIVE IT MOVES BACK. IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE. HAS GOTTEN WORSE, I NOW HAVE 11000 MILES ON IT. AFRAID THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE FORCE WOULD FORCE IT TO BREAK. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
LOCKED OUT OF VEHICLE 5 TIMES WITH KEY IN IGNITION, 2 TIMES WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. DRIVER DOOR APPEARS TO LOCK SLIGHTLY WHEN PULLING DOOR HANDLE. I BELIEVE THE "PUSH-IN LOCK ABOVE THE DOOR RELEASE DOES NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY OR THE DRIVER'S HANDLE CAN EASILY PUSH IT PARTIALLY CLOSED ACCIDENTALLY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
3 TIMES MY MURANO HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. ALL 3 TIMES IT HAS TO BE TOWED (OVER A 2 MONTH PERIOD APPROX. 4K MILES NOW, STARTED AT JUST OVER UNDER 3K). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, THE ENGINE WOULD AT LEAST TURN, BUT NOT START. THE LAST TIME IT WOULD NOT EVEN TURN. IT SEEMS TO BE TEMPORARY BECAUSE WHEN THE DEALER LOOSK AT THE NEXT DAY, IT STARTS AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I JUST BOUGHT A 2003 NISSAN MURANO, RECENTLY I HAVE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. FIRST PROBLEM, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES AND THEN SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN TURNING ON THE ALARM. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES I WOULD DISABLE THE ALARM AND START THE CAR. THE CAR WILL NOT START IT DOESN'T EVEN TURNOVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED TO START FOR MY WIFE AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT? BY THE WAY, I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND IT IS STILL THERE.
