SEATS
UPON SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE FRAME SNAPPED ON LEFT SIDE AND NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. I LOVED THIS CAR UNTIL NOW. IT'S A CRYING SHAME THAT A VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE COULD HAVE BROKEN. I AM NOT A HEAVY PERSON NOR DO I ABUSE THE VEHICLE. I DRIVE ONE MILE TO WORK ON A BLACKTOP ROAD! AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THIS SAME ISSUE, I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND MAKE IT RIGHT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DURING MY DRIVE WHILE EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE JUMPED/SPED UP ON ITS OWN AS IF I ACCELERATED. FELT LIKE A TRANSMISSION SLIP. WHILE APPROACHING MY EXIT, CAR JUST DIED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF AND PUT ON MY EMERGENCY HAZARD FLASHERS. I TRIED TO START THE CAR, AND IT JUST CRANKED. I WAITED APPROX. TEN MINUTES AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE SLOWLY UNTIL THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. EXPERIENCED SOME HESITATION ALONG THE DRIVE HOME AND WITH NO WARNING, JUST A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING, THE CAR DIED AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO FAILED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND QUOTED FOR REPLACE THE TWO FAILING FUEL SENDING UNITS $100 TO INSPECT + $700/$800 PART & LABOR. OF COURSE IS NOT COVERED BY NISSAN. HOW MANY OTHER BRANDS BESIDE NISSAN HAVE YOU SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM? I AM SIMPLY APPALLED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM NISSAN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS, DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSING, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON DUE TO FUEL GAUGE FAILURE, WIPER MOTOR/TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. MY NISSAN MURANO HAS ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND MORE. I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THE FACT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND UP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS IS AN INSULT TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT. NISSAN OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE DESPITE THE CLEAR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE COMPONENTS. WE LOVE TEH CAR BUT IT SHOULD HOLE TOGETHER BETTER THAN THIS. THERES ARE NOT ITEMS CAUSED BY HIGH MILLAGE JUT PLAIN POOR DESIGNS. SEATS BREAKING - NO WAY, VISORS FALLING DOWN - NO WAY, FUEL GAUGE FAILURE - NO WAY, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT - NO WAY, WIPER MOTOR/TRANSMISSION - NO WAY - PLEASE HELP US!!!! *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT MADE A POP SOUND AND NOW SEAT WOBBLES. VERY IRRITATED WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE THANKSGIVING 2013. WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN IN MY FUTURE! WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE DRIVER SEAT BREAKING, NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP AND SEND A RECALL TO HAVE THE SEATS REPLACED! I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SEATS BREAKING! *TR

SEATS, SEAT BELTS
SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD POP. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING JUST SITTING THERE. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP SIGN, AS THE TIRES HIT THE DRAINAGE RUT IN THE ROAD, I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING THROWN FROM MY SEAT. THE LOUD POP WAS THE SHEARING OF A METAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENT ON THE SEAT TRACK UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT WAS SO MUCH THAT, HAD I BEEN REAR ENDED, MY HEAD WOULD HIT THE FRAME ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD OR THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. NISSAN CHARGED ME $1700 FOR THE REPAIR, CLAIMING I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, NISSAN CORPORATION REFUSES TO COVER ANY COST OF THE REPAIR. WHEN CONTACTED, THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMPONENT. *JS

POWER TRAIN
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) MANUFACTURER DEFECT. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE UNPREDICTABLY LOOSES POWER AND DECELERATES. ABRUPT, UNCONTROLLED LOSS OF POWER PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT CRASH POTENTIAL. DRIVER IS CHALLENGED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY MANEUVER AND NEGOTIATE TRAFFIC, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS TRANSMISSION DEFECT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED BY NISSAN MURANO OWNERS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT IS MOVING SIDE TO SIDE AFTER SEARCHING FOR "LOOSE DRIVER SEAT NISSAN MURANO" PAGES OF VIDEOS AND COMPLAINTS CAME UP OF THE SEAT MOUNT BREAKING. AFTER LOOKING MINE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF METAL FATIGUE. ALL THE ARTICLES SHOW THAT IT IS NOW COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. MOST PEOPLE QUOTED 1000$ FOR REPAIR. PART ALONE 750$ A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE RESORTED TO TAKING IT TO WELDING SHOPS BECAUSE OF THE COST. I DON'T WANT THIS PART TO BREAK WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING WHEN IT SNAPS. CAN'T IMAGINE HOW SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM CAN BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY NISSAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

LEFT REAR SEAT TRACK BROKE CAUSING THE SEAT TO LEAN AND MOVE BACK AND FORTH. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY A AVERAGE PERSON OF APPX 170 LBS. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THIS IS GETTING TO BE A PROBLEM IN OTHER VEHICLES AND A VERY EXPENSE PROBLEM TO FIX. WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY OR RECALL? *TR

NOTICED SEAT WAS TILTED TO LEFT AND WOBBLY. UPON ACCELERATING OR MAKING TURNS THE SEAT WOULD ACTUALLY ROTATE SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE SEAT. TOOK TO DEALER IN FEB AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE REPLACED "ALOT OF THEM" AND GAVE US AN ESTIMATE OF $1555.79 PLUS TAX TO REPAIR. WHEN ASKED ABOUT A RECALL DUE TO POTENTIAL DANGER, TECHNICIAN ACKNOWLEDGED DANGER BUT SIMPLY SAID HIS HANDS WERE TIED BECAUSE NO RECALL HAD BEEN MADE. GAVE US NUMBER FOR NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT TOLD US TO EXPECT A DENIAL, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE RECEIVED. REVIEW OF INTERNET COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA WEBSITE REVEALED MANY OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND SOME WHO FACED SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF IT. THANKFULLY, NO ONE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN HURT YET, BUT THE POTENTIAL IS CERTAINLY THERE. WANTED TO ADD OUR EXPERIENCE TO THE PUBLIC DIALOG WITH THE HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL RECONSIDER ITS POSITION.

WHILE DRIVING MY 8YR OLD DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND IN THE MURANO, I WENT AROUND A LONG LEFT HAND BEND GOING 45 IN A 50MPH AREA - THE BACK LEFT BRACKET UNDER MY SEAT JUST SNAPPED, WHICH IN TURN MADE ME LEAN BACK AND TO THE LEFT, OF COURSE THIS THEN EFFECTED MY STEERING AND FOR A BRIEF INSTANT PULLED ME INTO THE OPPOSING LANE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I MANAGED TO CORRECT MY POSITION ON THE ROAD. THIS BRACKET HAS SINCE BEEN REDESIGNED ON THE MORE RECENT MURANO'S TO BE MUCH STRONGER AND BASICALLY LOOKS AND WORKS LIKE THE OTHER 3 BRACKETS (THAT DON'T SNAP). THE BRACKET THAT SNAPPED ON MY CAR IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHERS IT'S A JOKE - AND SO DANGEROUS. I DID TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN DURHAM NC - BUT THEY TOLD ME A STRAIGHT UP "NO" WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX OR DO ANY KIND OF RECALL. (I GUESS THERE HAVE TO BE MORE COMPLAINTS/INJURIES/DEATHS BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE). MANY INSTANCES OF THIS CAN ALSO BE FOUND ONLINE, BUT ALL SEEM TO RECEIVE THE SAME ANSWER FROM NISSAN - "NO" . *TR

WAS SITTING IN CAR WAITING ON SOMEONE WHEN MY DRIVER SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE ON THE LEFT BACK CORNER OF THE FRAME. IMAGINE IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT SUDDENLY JUST BROKE. COULD HAVE EASILY HAVE SWERVED OR WORSE. NISSAN SAID THE NEW SEAT FRAME COST OVER $1,200.00 PLUS APPROX. $300.00 FOR LABOR TO REPLACE WITH A NEW FRAME. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IF SOMEONE IS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT BREAKS. THANKFULLY I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT. *TR

WHILE TUNING SLIGHTLY AND LOOKING BACKWARDS TO BACK OUT MY DRIVEWAY, HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND FELT MY SEAT FALL BACKWARD. I BRAKE AND STOPPED MY CAR. I THEN FELT MY SEAT FALL FORWARD.I EXITED MY CAR AND NOTICED THE LEFT FRONT OF MY DRIVES SEAT SITTING ON THE FLOOD. AND THAT MY AIRBAG INDICATOR HAD COME ON. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE SEAT I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE BARS UNDER THE SEAT HAD SNAPPED. I MANAGED TO TIE SOME WIRE AROUND TO KEEP IT IN PLACE. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING,MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE AUTO HAS TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE ANY STATE INSPECTION CERTIFICATE COULD BE THE ISSUED. I ASKED HOW MUCH THIS WOULD COST, AND AFTER SO RESEARCH I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO QUITE A FEW OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME AUTO AND THAT THIS IS A NISSAN ONLY PART WHICH COST $1,0000 FOR THE PART. AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB I HAVE LEARNED THAT IS COMMON AMONG THE NISSAN 2002-2007 AND YET NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY THE SEAT MADE A POPPING NOISE AND COLLAPSED TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHICH IN TURN ALSO FORCED MY BODY TO LEAN INTO THE DOOR AND CAUSED ME TO MOMENTARILY JERK THE STEERING WHEEL BARELY AVOIDING A COLLISION. THE SEAT IS NOW BROKEN AND FORCES YOU TO SIT LEANING INTO THE DOOR AS THERE IS NO LONGER ANY SUPPORT. EVERY TIME I TURN OR IF I COME TO A QUICK STOP THE SEAT BOUNCES LIKE A RUBBER BAND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT THIS IS A SAFE WAY TO DRIVE A VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO THINK IT IS NOT THE WAY THAT THE MANUFACTURER TESTED OR INTENDED THE VEHICLE TO BE OPERATED. I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THE FAULTY BRACKET IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN ALL THE 2003-2008 NISSAN MURANOS. I ALSO FOUND THAT NISSAN MAKES A BRACKET THAT IS MUCH MORE STURDY AND THEY CHARGE YOU ALMOST $1000 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE KNOWINGLY ALLOWING THEIR FAULTY AND HAZARDOUS PARTS TO BE INSTALLED AT THE ASSEMBLY LINE INSTEAD OF USING THE UPGRADED BRACKET THAT IS ONE SOLID PIECE OF METAL. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID ANY FURTHER POTENTIAL HAZARDS. *TR
