BACK LEFT SIDE OF DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING. AT THE TIME, LUCKY FOR ME, I DID HAVE SOME RECENTLY PURCHASED ITEMS PLACED ON THE BACK FLOORBOARD AREA WHICH "LESSENED" THE AMOUNT THE SEAT COULD DROP. THE ITEMS WERE REMOVED AND I WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE UNTIL FURTHER DRIVING. EXCESSIVE ROCKING ON TURNS AND ON LOCAL ROADS (TO INCLUDE DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOT ENTRANCES, SPEED BUMPS ETC). DRIVERS SEAT STABILITY IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY NECESSITY. RECALL THIS FAULTY ITEM!!!!!!!! AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS OCCURRING TOO FREQUENTLY AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT DEALER WITH CONFIRMED BRAKE/WHEEL LOCKING PROBLEM OCCURRING IN ONE WHEEL AT TIME AND RANDOM AMONG 3 OF THE 4 WHEELS EACH TIME APPLIED IN MODE SIMILAR TO ABRUPT STOP AND IN SLICK CONDITIONS.THIS BRAKING PROBLEM DID RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT 11/18/2013. THE COMPUTERS INDICATE EVERYTHING WORKING PROPERLY YET TECH'S ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT IS NOT THE CASE. AFTER NUMEROUS TESTS, DEALER TECH'S WERE ADVISED BY NISSAN TO CEASE FURTHER TESTING AND OPEN CASE WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS. INITIAL BRAKE ISSUE REPORTED 8/7/2012. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT FREQUENT. CAUSED INCONSISTENT STOPPING CONTROL AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT DRIVING AND EVEN PULLING A PARKING SPOT. DEALER REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER. VEHICLE WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO DEALER 12/26/2012 FOR SOFT/SPONGY BRAKE PROBLEM BRAKES WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH UNSAFE AND REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY. DEALER HAD VEHICLE UNTIL 1/4/2013. APPEARS THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AGAIN, TO NO AVAIL. THEY CONTACTED NISSAN TECH-LINE FOR ASSIST. REPLACED ABS CONTROL MOD ASSY AND BRAKES APPEARED NORMAL AGAIN. 6 DAYS LATER ON 1/10/2013. STREET WAS SNOW COVERED. I LIGHTLY APPLIED BRAKES & VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE CONTROL, WITH REAR OF THE VEHICLE TRYING TO COME AROUND. THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE A WHEEL OR BRAKE LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO BEGIN SLIDING, THEN LIKE TRACTION CONTROL WAS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING FURTHER LOSS OF CONTROL. THEY CHECKED IT & CONCLUDED EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY.THE NEXT SNOW I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ANYTIME I APPLIED BRAKES IN THE SNOW, I WOULD BEGIN TO LOSE CONTROL AS IF ONLY ONE BRAKE WAS WORKING. ON 11/18/2013 DRIVER HAD TO HIT BRAKES ABRUPTLY AND CAR WENT INTO A SKID WITH ONE TIRE LOCKING UP CAUSING HER TO NOT BE ABLE TO STOP SAFELY CAUSING A COLLISION.LEAVING SINGLE TIRE SKID MARK,APPROX 60 FEET BEFORE STOP. ABS DID NOT ACTIVATE. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO CONKED OUT WHILE MAKING A TURN ON A BUSY CHICAGO INTERSECTION. THE CVT WAS THE CULPRIT. NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/100K WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE. AFTER 2 TOWS AND MORE THAN A WEEK AT THE DEALER, I RECEIVED A BILL FOR OVER 4K. NISSAN KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM FROM THE GET GO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO WAY OF BEING PREPARED FOR THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. CONSUMERS SHOULD BE PROTECTED. *LN *TR

MY DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE LOOSE AND IS LIKE RIDING IN A ROCKING CHAIR. THE DEALER STATES THE REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $1,000. I STARTED SEARCHING ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF NISSAN MURANOS (MOST APPEAR TO BE 2003 TO 2005) WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. CLEARLY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH IF THIS SEAT FRAME BROKE DURING AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN HAS REDESIGNED THE PART TO BE MORE ROBUST FOR MODELS AFTER 2005, SO THEY APPARENTLY KNOW THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A NATIONWIDE MANDATED RECALL AT NISSAN'S EXPENSE, FORCED BY THE NHTSA BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

WHILE BACKING OUT OF OUR GARAGE. MY WIFE HEARD A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING BROKEN AND THE SEAT IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO THE LEFT. NOW THE SEAT WOBBLES AND NOW LEANS TO THE LEFT, THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THE SEAT WOBBLES WHEN YOU DRIVE. AFTER MY INSPECTION THE REAR CROSS SUPPORT ARM IS BROKEN WHERE IT MOUNTS TO THE LEFT TRACK ASSEMBLY. I AM A SERVICE MANAGER IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. I AM INVOLVED IN FACTORY RECALLS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN DEFINED AS A FACTORY DEFECT AND A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE THIS RESULTS IN A CASUALTY. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING IN OUR 2003 NISSAN MURANO, JERKING THE CAR (AND US), AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE PARALYZED IN NIGHT TRAFFIC IN THE FAST LANE. SEVERAL CARS NEARLY HIT US UNTIL WE COULD SAFELY STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY SCARED TO DEATH AND HURT FROM THE ABRUPT STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN ONLY CARRY US ABOUT 1 MILE AN HOUR ALONG THE SHOULDER UNTIL WE COULD GET TO SAFETY. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 80,100 MILES ON THE ODOMETER (OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD.) IT IS VERY WELL CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED. WE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER (WOODMEN NISSAN OF COLORADO SPRINGS) FOR REPAIR, AND ARE NOW TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY WILL CHARGE US $3,600 PLUS TAX FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY, LTD IS AWARE THAT IT PUT DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS MODEL YEAR, BECAUSE IT LATER EXTENDED ITS POWER TRAIN WARRANTY (AFTER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS) FOR THIS MODEL TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. AGAIN, MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 80,000 AND JUST WENT OVER THE 10 YEAR MARK. THIS PRODUCT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEARLY COST ME AND MY WIFE OUR LIVES. NISSAN'S MISTAKE IS ALSO NOW POTENTIALLY COSTING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. I WANT NISSAN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS DEFECT BY REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED IT'S CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND AM NOW WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. IT IS SOLELY NISSAN'S FAULT., AND IT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. I HAVE INFORMED MILLIONS AS A NEWS ANCHOR ACROSS THE COUNTRY OVER THE PAST 18 YEARS ,AND I NOW WORK AS A FREE-LANCE JOURNALIST WITH TWO NATIONAL NEWS NETWORKS, I WILL SHARE NISSAN'S RESPONSE TO MY REQUEST WITH EVERY LIVING PERSON IN MY SPHERE OF INFLUENCE THROUGH EVERY AVENUE OF BROADCAST AND SOCIAL MEDIA I POSSIBLY CAN. WE WILL SEE IF A COMPANY THAT PUT IT'S CUSTOMERS IN DEFECTIVE, DANGEROUS VEHICLES WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR

THE VERY COMMON ISSUE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE AND IS NOT PROPERLY ADHERED TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR. THIS POSSESSES A VITAL THREAT TO OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD ASK THAT THIS BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL FROM NISSAN AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MURANO OWNERS. *TR

MY HUSBAND TOOK MY VEHICLE FOR A NORMAL OIL CHANGE. HE WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAD A LEAK AND IT WOULD COST OVER $3,000.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BETWEEN NISSAN AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I AM BEING JUGGLED AROUND AS TO WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED DUE TO THE MANY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON THE MURANO FOR QUITE SOME TIME. APPARENTLY IF THE TRANSFER CASE RUNS DRY OF THE SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL IT HAS, IT CAN LOCK UP THE ENTIRE DRIVETRAIN AND RENDER THE VEHICLE UN-DRIVABLE. THE TRANSFER CASE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE CVT AND MANY OF THE FAILED CVT'S VEHICLES HAVE HAD CRACKED OR LEAVING TRANSFER CASES. SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF INCIDENTS AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, IT SEEMS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE TRANSFER CASE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN. IT SEEMS FIT THAT SINCE NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS FOR REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDES LABOR, PARTS AND ANY OTHER RELATED EXPENSES. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 MURANO. I WAS DRIVING ROAD AND MY DRIVERS SEAT DROP TO THE LEFT SIDE. THIS ALMOST THREW ME IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAD TO SWIRL TO KEEP FROM HITTING A CAR. I HAD MY KID IN THE CAR WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAS THIS HAPPEN TO ME. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR NISSAN TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, NOTHING HAPPENED. I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR 3 OR 4 TIMES AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND THEN STARTED MOVING. THE NEXT TIME I CAME TO A STOP, I HAD TO REPEAT THE PUMPING OF THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE AGAIN. I DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD. WHEN I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER, I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I CAN GO SEVERAL MONTHS WITH EVERYTHING BEING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO A DEALER BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND SINCE EVERYTHING IS FINE AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND THEN STARTED AGAIN, HOW DO I RECREATE THE ISSUE FOR A MECHANIC? THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND THE LURCHING FORWARD HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON VARIOUS BLOGS AND ON THIS WEBSITE. IN THE QUALIFIER ABOVE IT ASKS IF THERE HAS BEEN A CRASH, FIRE OR FATALITY. PLEASE TELL ME WHY ONE OF THESE HORRIFIC THINGS HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL ON A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE? A CAR NOT ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC AND THEN SUDDENLY LURCHING FORWARD SHOULD NOT BE THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY OR COST TO REPAIR. IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND COST OF THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE SELLING A SAFE VEHICLE. *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY 2010, HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH CAR IN FEBRUARY 2011 LATE AT NIGHT, STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, HAD TO CALL WRECKER TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. THERE WERE 38,424 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT NOT COST SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER FOR ANOTHER 120,000 MILES. ON 11/1/13 THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN BY NOT SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED BUT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SINCE I NOW HAD 127,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I ASKED ABOUT THE STATEMENT REGARDING THE FIRST REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOLD THAT IS NOT THE CASE AND IF I HAD PAID FOR THE TRANSMISSION MYSELF IT WOULD ONLY BE COVERED FOR 12,000 MILES OR 12 MONTHS. I AM NOW FACED WITH PAYING $3000 FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THIS MAKES 3 TRANSMISSIONS IN A CAR NOT EVEN 4 YEARS OLD. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND FALLS WHEN DRIVING. IT IS NOT USABLE BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY STAY IN A STRAIGHT DOWN POSITION WHICH BLOCKS YOUR VIEW AS YOU DRIVE. CURRENTLY THIS IS VISOR IS BEING HELD UP WITH VELCRO TO PREVENT IT FROM FALLING DOWN AND BLOCKING VISION WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU USE THE VISOR, YOU NEED TO HOLD IT BACK TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD WITH YOUR LEFT HAND, LEAVING ONLY ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

NISSAN MURANO TRANSFER CASE DESIGN FLAW: I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 MURANO SL IN JUNE 2010. VEHICLE WAS GREAT UNTIL WARRANTY EXPIRED. JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING AND COULD CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND AN ACCIDENT IF NOT FIXED. ACCORDING TO 2 DIFFERENT NISSAN MECHANICS (BOTH FROM DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS), THIS TRANSFER CASE HAS A 'TAB' THAT PUSHES AGAINST THE ENGINE BLOCK CREATING THIS ISSUE AND LEAKS. NISSAN DESIGNED NEW REPLACEMENT TRANSFER CASES ($1600 - $2000 TO THE CONSUMER) THAT DON'T HAVE THIS TAB! ACCORDING TO ONE NISSAN MECHANIC, NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SENT 'SERVICE BULLETINS' TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENTS EXPLAINING HOW TO FIX OR REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE. THE INTERNET IS LITTERED WITH CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE TRANSFER CASES. I CALLED NISSAN USA. WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS NOT RECALLED OR COVERED UNDER THEIR EXTENDED TRANSMISSION WARRANTY. NISSAN EXTENDED THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 120K MILES IN CASE OF AN ALL OUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE BUT WON'T WARRANT OR RECALL THE CAUSE - THE TRANSFER CASE. FORTUNATELY, MY FAMILY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS. I'M FORCED TO SPEND A LOT OF MY MONEY TO FIX THIS NISSAN FLAW. IT'S TIME FOR THE NHTSA TO STEP IN BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED IN A MAJOR HIGHWAY ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO'S TRANSFER CASE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH JOINT. IN TOTAL THE REPAIRS COST $5,600. I CALLED NISSAN TO REQUEST THAT THEY COVER THIS ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH I AM 6,000 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD. PREVIOUSLY DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD NISSAN HAD TO REPLACE THE CVT, AND BASED ON MY RESEARCH, NISSAN HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF CVT AND TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS. NISSAN HAS JUST INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR, AND WENT AS FAR TO SAY IT WAS DUE TO ME NOT BRINGING MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE LIKE MOTOR OIL CHANGES. I CHANGE MY OWN OIL, AND SPARE NOTHING BY ONLY USING MOBILE 1 OR OTHER HIGH-END OILS. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I STILL HAVE TWO YEARS LEFT TO PAY ON THIS CAR AND SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE CVT AND TRANSFER CASE THIS SOON. *TR
