AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WITHOUT APPARENT REASON, AND IT HAS BEEN FLASHING EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THEN. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALERSHIP STATES DIAGNOSTIC WILL COST $85, PLUS COST OF REPAIR. I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY CORRECTLY IN A CRASH, OR IF IT WILL DEPLOY WHEN IT IS NOT NEEDED, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. EITHER WAY, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE. SEE CONSUMER COMPLAINT NUMBERS 1020853, 10199625, 10196794, 10193158, AND 10188126. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, THEN NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR COST. *TR

EQUIPMENT, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I OWN A 2003 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD. THE FUEL TANK SHROUD WAS INSTALLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH RECALL CAMPAIGN 06V003000. THE SHROUD IS OF SUCH A BAD DESIGN THAT IT HAS BROKEN IN NORMAL WINTER DRIVING. THE MATERIALS USED ARE TOO WEAK AND THE DESIGN DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PROTECTION FOR THE TANK. OVERALL, THIS DESIGN IS TERRIBLE, AND DOES NOT SOLVE THE REQUIREMENT OF PROTECTING THE FUEL TANK. NISSAN NEED TO COME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN THAT BETTER CONFORMS TO THE PROFILE OF THE FUEL TANK--THE CURRENT DESIGN PROTRUDES DOWN TOO FAR AND IS TOO EASILY DAMAGED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, WHILE REACHING FOR THE RADIO, I HEARD A CRACKING NOISE UNDER MY SEAT. SOMETHING BROKE LOOSE AND ME AND THE SEAT WERE THRUST VIOLENTLY TOWARDS THE RIGHT! LUCKILY, I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY EASY TO AS THE SEAT BREAKING WAS AN UNEXPECTED SHOCK. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE AND HAS BECOME UNSTABLE. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. DEALER REPAIRED IT THE FIRST TIME AND THE SERVICE TECH WAS AWARE THIS PROBLEM EXISTED ON THIS MODEL! IN A COLLISION, THE SEAT WILL MOST DEFINITELY BREAK FREE AND LAUNCH THE DRIVER (AND SEAT) EITHER INTO THE DASHBOARD OR TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND WILL INEVITABLY CAUSE FATALITIES. *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

VISIBILITY
THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR IN OUR 04 NISSAN MURANO BEGAN TO BE HARD TO MOVE UP OR DOWN ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. EVENTUALLY, SOMETHING INSIDE THE VISOR JUST GAVE UP, AND THE VISOR STARTED FALLING DOWN UNDER IT'S OWN WEIGHT. IT WILL NOT STAY UP. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS BEGINNING TO BE HARD TO MOVE NOW, AND IF IT FOLLOWS THE PATTERN OF THE OTHER VISOR, IT WILL FAIL SOON. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT IT HAS FAILED AND ADVISED CUSTOMER SERVICE OF SAME. HE ALSO TOLD THEM THAT DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD PROBABLY FAIL SOON. STANDARD 36 MONTH WARRANTY WILL NO LONGER COVER VISORS AS IT HAS LONG SINCE RUN OUT. I HAVE THE 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT WILL NOT COVER THE VISORS. I ADVISED CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THE VISOR FALL WHILE DRIVING, AND OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VISION, REQUIRING DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY LEAN OVER AND PUSH THE VISOR BACK UP. I ALSO ADVISED THAT I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT HAD VISORS THAT FAILED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE VISORS HAS EXPIRED, AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME REPLACE THEM. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WHO HAVE HAD OR ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
