UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE GAS GAGE WILL SHOW FULL WHEN I FILL THE TANK YET 50 MILES OF DRIVING AND IT STARTS TO SHOW EMPTY AND THEN GO UP TO 3/4 TANK AND THEN EMPTY AGAIN THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND SERVCE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I AM NEVER SURE HOW MUCH FUEL OR MILEAGE I AM GETTING FROM A TANK OF GAS. I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP ABOUT A YEAR AGO THINKING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM I GET CODE PO463 WHEN CHECKED WITH SCANNER. THE CAR HAS 132, 000 MILES ON IT AND THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING. MY SON RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN IT QUIT. NO WAY TO BE SURE OF HOW MUCH FUEL AND ON A TRIP TO NC FROM FLA I AM AFRAID OF THIS CAR RUNNING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ME AN OLD DISABLED WOMAN ALONE. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLES ACCOUNTS ONLINE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND IT IS SURELY A SAFETY HAZARD.. IT WILL SAY THE TANK IS EMPTY AND WHEN I PUT GAS IN IT ONLY TAKES 5 GAL OR IT WILL READ FULL AND RUN OUT OF GAS.

THE DRIVERS METAL SEAT BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT SNAPPED WHEN GETTING IN MY CAR. THE SEAT IS WOBBLY AND MOVES WITH BRAKING OR ACCELERATING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL AND WOULD COST $1500.00 TO BUY A NEW BRACKET. A WHOLE NEW SEAT WOULD BE $5000.00. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ABOUT THE FRONT SEAT BRACKET BREAKING. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT MY SEAT WOULD DEFINITELY COME LOOSE FROM MY CAR WITH ME IN THE SEAT. I CAN'T AFFORD A $1500 BRACKET. WHY WOULD THAT BRACKET COST THAT MUCH?

AIR BAGS
STARTED THE ENGINE ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO BEFORE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND REMAINED ON EVER SINCE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SO THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND CHARGED A $75.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. BUT AS SOON AS THE TECHNICIAN RETURNED WITH THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. HE TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR AREA AND AFTER 2 HOURS HE CAME BACK AND SAID THE AIRBAG COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING AND IS NOT ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $1500.00 TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG COMPUTER WHICH MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY AS AIR BAGS ARE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES WHICH SHOULD NOT JUST RANDOMLY MALFUNCTION ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS WHATSOEVER. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND HE SAID NO, I ALSO ASKED IF THIS IS RECURRENT PROBLEM FOR OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND HE RESPONDED THAT HE DOES SEE THIS PROBLEM QUITE OFTEN WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT ADJUSTER FRAME BROKE WHILE DRIVING. SEAT WAS WOBBLING LIKE A ROLLER COASTER RIDE FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. CONTACTED NISSIAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NOTHING THEY CAN TO ABOUT IT. CONTACTED NISSAN OF BURLINGAME, CA AND THE SEAT ADJUSTER FRAME PART RUNS $1450.00-$1600.00 PLUS INSTALLATION. SUCH A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT PRONE DEFECT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST. NISSAN ALSO SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP OUT FINANCIALLY ON ANY REPAIR WORK/INSTALLATION FEE'S TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME. THEY WERE CURT AND ABRUPT. I MENTIONED I HAD READ ON CAR REPAIR COMPLAINT SITES THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T READ CAR REPAIR SITES.........

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 NISSAN MURANO. 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS AND NO RECALL YET. THIS IS VERY SAD WHEN A COMPANY CAN'T STAND BEHIND A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. GOD FORBID SOMEONE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT. FIRST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN IS ME OR SOMEONE WITH SAME PROBLEM FLYING OUT THE WINDOW BC OF A DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME. I'VE PURCHASED ABOUT 5 NISSANS IN MY LIFE TIME. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE FROM NISSAN. A DEFECT SEAT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

SEAT SUDDENLY DROPPED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE IN THE VEHICLE AGAINST THE DOOR. THIS SUDDEN CHANGE IN POSITION CAUSED ME TO SWERVE THE VEHICLE NEARLY MISSING THE CAR NEXT TO ME IN THE OTHER LANE. IF THIS SEAT WAS TO FAIL COMPLETELY I COULD HAVE BEEN THROWN BACKWARDS IN THE VEHICLE LOSING THE ABILITY TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS USED BY A 160 POUND WOMAN AND EVEN THOUGH HAS SOME AGE HAS ONLY 43,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT IS USED STRICTLY FOR PLEASURE DRIVING ON THE WEEKENDS. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ROUNDING A CORNER. UPON REVIEWING THE MANY MANY THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN UP ON THE INTERNET ABOUT HOW PERVASIVE THIS PROBLEM IS THERE IS NO REASON THAT A POOR DESIGN ON THE SEAT LIFTING FRAME HAS RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THIS PART AND NISSAN HAS NOW REDESIGNED THE PART TO REINFORCE THE SEAT FRAME PART OT MAKE IT MORE STURDY. THIS REDESIGN MEANS TO ME THAT THEY RECOGNIZE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL DESIGN AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FO RTHE REPAIR NOT TELL CONSUMERS THEY NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF BETWEEN $1,000 AND $2,500. THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
