SEAT BRACKET BROKE ON DRIVERS SEAT. NISSAN DEALER SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE WEB. I'M CONTACTING THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER TO SEE IF THE NTSB HOLDS NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE OR TREAT THIS LIKE GM'S SAFETY ISSUES. *JS

LEFT REAR OF DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS CAUSED ME TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, ALMOST HITTING MULTIPLE CHILDREN WHO WERE WALKING HOME AFTER GETTING OFF THE SCHOOL BUS. I ONLY WEIGHT 218 LBS AND MY WIFE IS BARELY 100 LBS. THIS SEAT SHOULD NOT COLLAPSE UNDER NORMAL USE AND NORMAL ADULT WEIGHTS. I AM SURE IF I HAD GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT WOULD HAVE BROKEN LOOSE AND SERIOUS INJURY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NISSAN WANTS $1400 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. NISSAN PLACED A REJECTED INSPECTION STICKER ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE BROKEN SEAT. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE SEAT IS REPAIRED. YOUTUBE HAS MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER MURANOS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT SLUMPED BACK AND LEFT, TOWARD THE WINDOW. IT JARRED MY POSITION IN THE CAR, CAUSING MY GRIP TO CHANGE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. AS A RESULT, I VEERED INTO AN ADJACENT TRAFFIC LANE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOT A VEHICLE IN THE ADJACENT LANE. I THEN BECAME PREOCCUPIED AS TO WHETHER THE SEAT WAS LOSE AND WHETHER IT WOULD TILT FURTHER, CAUSING A MORE HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME AND WAS THEN ABLE TO BETTER INSPECT THE SITUATION OF THE FAULTY SEAT. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THE FAULT AS A BROKEN LIFTER LINK ASSEMBLY. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH MY DRIVERS SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY CAME DOWN SO AS TO BLOCK MY VISION OF THE ROAD AHEAD. THIS STARTLED ME AND DISTRACTED ME WHILE I FLIPPED IT BACK TO ITS NORMAL UP POSITION. HOWEVER IT DID NOT STAY UP. NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND IS ABOUT $250 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. TO THIS DAY IT WILL STAY UP FOR AWHILE BUT WILL COME DOWN ESPECIALLY IF IT IS WARM IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
STARTED NOTICING THAT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD DROP DOWN FOR NO REASON. I NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH NEAR MISSES WITH OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS THING FALLING DOWN. THEY HAVE BIG ADDS ABOUT TEXTING WHILE DRIVING AND ITS DANGERS. HOW ABOUT A COMPLETE LOSS OF VISION @ 70 MPH. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN MANY TIMES AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A REPLY. I HAVE VISITED NISSAN MURANO FORUM SITES. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK THAT NHTSA WOULD WANT TO WORK TO PREVENT A DEATH RATHER THAN WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE OR A FAMILY IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THESE VISORS. BUT THEN AGAIN IF THAT DEATH WAS CAUSED BECAUSE OF THE VISOR, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KNOW. THEIR DEAD. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TR

WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND STARTED THE CAR, THE SEAT BROKE. ONE OF THE RAILS IS BAD AND THE GEAR THAT MOVES THE SEAT IS STRIPPED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SEAT HAS BROKEN AND AFTER RESEARCH, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS STOPPED BUT IF WE WERE MOVING IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO WAS PURCHASED USED MARCH 2013. SINCE THEN, I HAVE PUT OVER $4,000 WORTH OF REPAIRS INTO IT AND I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE LATEST ISSUE IS THE CAR HAVING NO POWER WHEN PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WILL SURGE WHEN YOU FINALLY GET IT TO GO. I'VE REPLACED FUEL FILTER, CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, TRANSFER CASE JUST TO NAME A FEW OF THE REPAIRS. I AM IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT LEAST 2X/MONTH! NOW I READ WHERE THERE ARE MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IGNORING THE COMPLAINTS! I NOW HAVE A CAR I AM MAKING A HUGE CAR PAYMENT ON THAT I CANNOT DRIVE! PLUS I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION! I WORK IN HOSPICE AND I DRIVE TO SEE PATIENTS EVERY DAY AND NOW I HAVE NO VEHICLE!!!! SO IT IS NOW AFFECTING NOT ONLY MY PERSONAL LIFE BUT MY WORK ENVIRONMENT!!!! *JS

THE HINGE MECHANISM THAT KEEPS THE SUN VISOR IN THE UP POSITION, FAILS CAUSING THE VISOR TO RANDOMLY FALL WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS CAUSES ME TO BE STARTLED & ALSO IS A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL! AFTER EVENTUALLY GETTING SO BAD IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL & THEN FINDING OUT IT WOULD COST $300+ TO REPLACE, I'M STUCK USING A VELCRO STRAP ATTACHED TO DRIVERS SIDE "O-S@&T" BAR TO KEEP IT UP! *TR

PURCHASED MY NISSAN MURANO 2006 IN SEPT 2009.TODAY, WHILE SITTING IN MALL PARKING LOT, I HEARD A LOUD SOUND AND THE DRIVER'S FRONT SEAT DROPPED TO THE LEFT. UNSURE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, I BEGAN TO DRIVE OFF AND MY SEAT BEGAN TO SHIFT LEFT AND RIGHT. COULD NOT STABILIZE AT ALL! VERY VERY UNSAFE DRIVE HOME!! THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY HAZARD. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE THE WAY IT IS NOW. CANNOT BEGIN TO AFFORD WHAT DEALER IS ASKING FOR REPAIR. WHAT AM I TO DO? THE REVIEWS INDICATE I AM NOT ALONE ON THIS CRUCIAL ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO HELP THE MURANO OWNERS OUT. THAT OBVIOUSLY IS A FAULTY PART AND THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE LEFT HOLDING THE BAG! PLEASE PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THIS.

MY WIFE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT TILTS BACKWARDS AND ROCKS. I'VE ALSO HAD THIS OCCUR TO ME WHEN I GET IN TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE SEAT SINKS AS A MOVE IT BACK BEFORE I DRIVE. WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE SEAT, YOU CAN ACTUALLY ROCK THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT I CAN SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BROKEN WELD IN THE LEFT-REAR PORTION OF THE SEAT FRAME. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT A NEW SEAT WOULD COST. HOW THIS ISN'T A SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT PART OF A RECALL IS PERPLEXING TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A POPPING SENSATION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WHILE DRIVING. THEN OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE DRIVER'S SEAT STARTED A ROCKING MOTION. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WHILE DRIVING, THE SEAT JUST DROPPED ON THE LEFT SIDE. WHEN I GOT HOME MY HUSBAND TOOK A LOOK AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OFF. IT CONTINUED TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO NISSAN WHO LOOKED AT IT, TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE "ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY, FRONT" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST $ 1350. I CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AND THERE WAS NO RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE? I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SEAT DROPPED. I WAS STARTLED. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH TO DEEM THE PROBLEM SEVERE ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECALL. I WOULD THINK NISSAN WOULD JUST FIX IT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS SO WIDE SPREAD. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, 10 MILES, IN 2006. AND IT HAS BEEN ONE THING OR ANOTHER. THIS CAR HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. SERVICED IT AS THE MANUAL SPECIFIED. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN TAKEN ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. MY DAILY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK IS APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AND GARAGED. FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS I WORKED FROM HOME SO THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN MUCH. WE KNOW WE WILL NOT BUY A NISSAN OR INFINITI AGAIN. NOR DO WE RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WE COME IN CONTACT WITH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET FRACTURED. THE SEAT SHIFTED AND MOVED OUT OF PLACE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO SWERVE INTO OTHER LANES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,980. DR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES EVERY TIME I STOP OR ACCELERATE. NISSAN SAYS IT WILL COST 1300-1500 TO REPAIR. LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THE SEAT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO ACTUALLY BREAK, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO END UP IN THE BACKSEAT. MINE HASN'T DONE THAT YET. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY NISSAN, NOT ME AS THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL REPAIR THAT ONE CAN EXPECT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK AND THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED! *TR
