THE DRIVERS SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET FAILED AND THE SEAT FELL. APPARENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS ON THIS MODEL YEAR? I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS A DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL IF THE BRACKET SNAPS LIKE MINE DID. LUCKILY MINE WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT SNAPPED.

DURING NORMAL USE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE LOOSE FROM THE SEAT RAIL. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WENT TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MY GARAGE AND NOT WHILE I WAS DRIVING OR DURING A CRASH. UPON INSPECTION THE TRIP STEEL HOLLOWED OUT PLATE CONNECTING THE SEAT TO THE RAIL BROKE. I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND THE DESIGN OF THIS PART WAS CLEARLY NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SURVIVE A CRASH. INSTEAD OF BEING A SOLID PIECE OF THICK STEEL IT WAS HOLLOWED OUT AND THE THIN STRIPS LEFT TO ATTACH THE SEAT TO THE RAIL WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND NORMAL USE MUCH LESS THE FORCE CAUSED BY A CRASH. THE REDESIGNED REPLACEMENT PART WAS A MUCH STRONGER SOLID PIECE OF METAL.

POWER TRAIN
JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2016 THINKING IT WOULD BE A GOOD USED CAR. I WAS WRONG IT HAS 155,000 MILES ON IT. TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WAS STOP AT STOPLIGHT WENT TO TAKE OFF AND IT STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY MOVE IT FORM THE ROAD AND IT WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 5 MPH, SO I TURNED IT OFF THEN BACK ON IT STARTED TO DRIVE FINE I DIDN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES HAD IT TOWED TO A FRIENDS REPAIR SHOP WERE CHECKED THE CODES AND IT WAS ALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A HUGE WRECK AS THE ROAD I WAS ON IS EXTREMELY BUSY. THIS VERY UNSAFE FOR NISSAN NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON JANUARY 2,2016 I HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM MY SEAT AND THEN A SUDDEN DROP IN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE SEAT. UPON PULLING OVER I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WAS UNATTACHED ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE. I TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP, THEY REMOVED THE SEAT TO FIND THAT THE BRACKET WAS COMPLETELY SHEARED OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. HE CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS TSB'S ON THE DRIVERS SEAT BUT NO RECALL STATING THAT THERE WERE NO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT BUT THAT WAS ALL AND WAS TOLD THAT WE COULD BUY THE PARTS FROM THEM BUT THAT IT WAS ALL ON ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED

DRIVER SEAT BACK LEFT BRACKET CONNECTED TO THE FRAME IS BROKEN. MY DRIVER SEAT NOW SWAYS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE ON MY BACK. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. THIS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD FIX BY ENSURING A RECALL FOR THEIR COSTUMERS.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND HESITATED. I SAW THE BATTERY LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON, SO I DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY DOWN THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT, AND PARKED IT THERE. I LATER READ THAT THIS WAS COMMON ON NISSAN MURANOS, MODEL YEARS 2003 THROUGH 2007, AND A RECALL CAMPAIGN, 05V319000 WAS STARTED.

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO DOES NOT STAY UP AND IS CAUSING A DRIVING HAZARD. I HAVE IT HELD WITH VELCRO RIGHT NOW, BUT IT DOES NOT WORD WELL AND WHILE DRIVING WILL FALL AND BLOCK THE ENTIRE FRONT VIEW. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.
