SEATS
MY POWER SEAT ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO CAME LOOSE AND LIFTS UP WHEN TURNING A CORNER. THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE NEW CAR SAID THE ENTIRE POWER SEAT BRACKET IS BROKEN AND IS UNSAFE. THE COST TO REPAIR IT IS $1,000.00. MY CAR IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I FEEL THEY SHOULD COVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY REFUSED. I FEEL THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT ON MY NISSAN MURANO 2005 IS TILTING OFF THE TRACK TO THE RIGHT. IT IS DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER CAN LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL OF THE DRIVER SEAT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

SEATS, EQUIPMENT
DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS TO THE LEFT. WAS INFORMED BY JIM MILLS NISSAN THAT THE SEAT TRACK WAS BAD, $716 TO REPLACE. NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS WAS ON AUG.22, 2007. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN. NOW WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR FALLING DOWN WHILE YOUR DRIVING AND PASSENGER DOOR LOCK NOT SECURING ALL THE WAY. THE LOCK MECHANISM WILL GO PART OF THE WAY AND STOP. ALL OF THE ITEMS ABOVE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. YES, I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET FAILED AND THE SEAT IS UNSTABLE, LEANING TO THE LEFT. THE SEAT ACTUALLY MOVES WHILE YOU ARE SITTING IN IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, AND THE REPAIR COST IS IN EXCESS OF $1000. WHAT GUARANTEE IS THERE THAT THE REPLACEMENT SEAT WILL NOT FAIL AS WELL. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. *TR

VISIBILITY
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP - IT FALLS AT THE LEAST BUMP AND BLOCKS MY VISION. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AT LEAST THE END OF APRIL. I WAS TOLD MY BLACKBURN MOTORS THAT IT WOULD COST ME $296.01 PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE THE VISOR. I HAVE HAD OLD BEATER CARS THAT HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER, NISSAN, SHOULD REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE VISORS AT THEIR COST, NOT MINE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, THAT IS A BAD MARK AGAINST NISSAN. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME SNAPPED IN TWO PLACES WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT EVEN IN MOTION. LAKELAND NISSAN DEALER FIRST SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER A TSB, BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO THEM THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 36,000 MI. EVEN THOUGH NO ONE MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY. LAKELAND NISSAN DEALER THEN QUOTED $997.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAT FRAME. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PUBLIC SAFETY RISK AND MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AT THE VERY LEAST A POOR DESIGN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE WEB AND FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO REVIEW THE INITIAL CRASH TEST RESULTS FROM NISSAN TO SEE HOW THIS ESCAPED DETECTION. (MAYBE IT DIDN'T) WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS WHY THERE IS NOT AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR INJURED OF IT BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT ACTS? A RECALL IS WARRANTED IN MY OPINION FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS ENDS MY CUSTOMER LOYALTY TO NISSAN. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE OR USE THEY'RE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH 68K MILES SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY ALMOST WRECKING INTO MY HOUSE. NO PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS OR DASH LIGHTS. TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG OR WHY, BUT REPAIR COST IS $5,500. NO OTHER OPTIONS GIVEN AS THEY DO NOT REPAIR - ONLY REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS. NO OTHER SHOP IS AUTHORIZED TO WORK ON THIS MODEL OF TRANSMISSIONS. SO I HAVE NO OPTIONS. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO'S DRIVER'S SEAT SNAPPED AND BROKE WHEN SIMPLY GOING AROUND A CURVE AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE CAR HAD 38,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADMITTED TO ME THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE SEAT BRACKET, BUT THAT THE COMPANY WAS NOT GOING TO COVER IT- NOT THE DEALERSHIP, AND NOT THE CAR MANUFACTURER. THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY HAD FIXED MANY, MANY MURANOS WITH THIS SAME DEFECT IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND THE CAR IS LEASED, I WAS STUCK WITH A $1,200 REPAIR BILL ($800 FOR THE PART, A WHOLE NEW SEAT TRACK AND $400 FOR LABOR). I APPEALED TO NISSAN CORPORATION BECAUSE THE INTERNET IS BUZZING WITH REPORTS OF THIS BEING A DOCUMENTED DEFECT AND ENGINEERING FLAW, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT PLANNING ON DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT- I WAS STUCK PAYING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT! I FELT RIPPED OFF TO THE MAX! SINCE I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND THE SEAT FLOPPED AROUND AT WILL WHEN I WAS DRIVING, I FELT LIKE I HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO FIX IT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF A CRASH. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES, AND SO SHOULD BROWN'S NISSAN OF STERLING, VIRGINIA! BEFORE THIS I WAS QUITE HAPPY WITH THE CAR, BUT NO MORE- I FEEL CHEATED AND ROBBED BY NISSAN AND BROWN'S. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
APPROX. 3 WEEKS AGO. WHILE TRAVELING HOME MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO WOULD JUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WITHOUT WARNING. I WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND IT WOULD START UP AGAIN. THEN LAST WEEK 6/19 WHILE TRAVELING ON A HWY 9A SOUTH IT DID IT AGAIN WHILE GOING A SPEED OF 65, THEN ON 6/20. IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING 5 TIMES. I TOOK IT INTO THE COGGIN NISSAN THE SAME EXACT DAY. THEY HAVE PUT ON IT ON THERE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINED THE CAUSE, SO, THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT UNTIL THEY DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING. *TR
