WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO, I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND UNDER MY SEAT, AND SUDDENLY THE BACK LEFT SIDE OF MY SEAT COLLAPSED AND I WAS TOSSED TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE THE ONLY CAR DRIVING ON THE STREET AT THE TIME BECAUSE IT CAUSED ME TO TEMPORARILY LOOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I CAN'T IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING TO A DRIVER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DOOR LOCKS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK FROM FOB OR INTERIOR SWITCH ON THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE OR IT MAY PREVENT EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL TO EASILY GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO A CONCERN BECAUSE IT CAN POTENTIALLY LEAVE THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO POTENTIAL THEFT OF ITEMS IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY DON'T RELIABLY LOCK. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DRIVER'S DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN ACTUATED FROM THE DOOR POWER LOCK OR THE REMOTE POWER LOCK. THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE IT MEANS DOOR LOCKS CAN NOT BE RELIED TO POWER LOCK OR UNLOCK IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. *TR

VISIBILITY
WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS OR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. IT APPEARS THAT THE VISOR IS NOT TIGHTLY HELD BY THE BRACKET THAT IT SITS ON. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THERE IS COMPLETE LOSS OF VISION THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS (OR ANY SPEED FOR THAT MATTER), THIS LOSS OF VISION MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE VISOR IS NOT RAISED UP QUICKLY ENOUGH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS WITH MODEL YEARS 2005, 2006 AND 2007. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE ARE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR LOSS OF LIFE AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW SUN VISOR. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES. *JS

POWER TRAIN
AT A SPEED OF 40 MPH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE A TERRIBLE TICKING NOISE AND VIBRATED THROUGH THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RULED OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF C.V. JOINTS AS I RAN THE VEHICLE WHILE BEING SAFELY SUPPORTED ON A LIFT. THE NOISE IS ECHOING OUT OF THE CVT HOUSING, ALL FLUID LEVELS ARE UP. *TR

SEATS
DRIVER SEAT BROKE FROM BEHIND. IF I SEAT DOWN THE SEAT WOBBLES UP AND DOWN. STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE ANCHOR/BRACKET ON THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. SAME AS ALL THE ONES IN THE INTERNET BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL. NISSAN IS WAITING UNTIL A COUPLE OF PEOPLE DIE TO TAKE ACTION. I REPAIRED MINE BUT ITS THE SAME KIND SO I THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I WILL BE TAKING THE OLD FRAME TO GET WORKED ON BY A WELDER TO INVENT SOMETHING BETTER BECAUSE THEIR IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR A STRONGER BRACKET BUT NISSAN IS ONLY CUTTING COST WITH THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. IF YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER END OF THE BRACKET THAT ALWAYS BRAKES IT IS STRONGER. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST NISSAN I HAVE OWNED 4 NISSANS AND WILL STILL KEEP BUYING THEM BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS.....COME ON GUYS DON'T CUT CORNERS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ALL DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION WITH THE FOB OR THE INTERNAL DOOR LOCK BUTTON. MUST MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK ALL DOORS. CONDITION WORSENS IN WARM WEATHER.THIS IS A SERIOS SAFETY HAZARD - I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. NISSAN WON'T EVEN ESCALATE MY CONCERN UNTIL I PAY TO HAVE ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT IT, BUT I KNOW FROM READING OTHER POSTS THAT ONCE I DO THEY WILL STILL REFUSE TO FIX IT. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AROUND AN OFF-RAMP, THE DRIVER SEAT MADE A LOUD POP SOUND. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE BRACKET HOLDING THE SEAT TO THE CAR HAS BROKEN LOOSE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT TRAVELING FAST AND I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAS FAULTY ELECTRONIC LOCKS. VIEWED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT PREVENTS THE ABILITY TO GET IN AND/OR OUT IN A QUICK AND EFFICIENT MANNER SHOULD THERE BE AN EMERGENCY. THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK/LOCK USING THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES OR BUTTONS AND IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE DOOR YOU HAVE TO OPEN ANOTHER DOOR AND REACH OVER AND MANUALLY UNLOCK. I HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS RELATED TO MY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON AND NISSAN IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE OR REPAIR CAUSING SIGNIFICANT (UP TO $1600) FINANCIAL COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

MY DRIVERS FRONT SEAT IS WOBBLY AND LOOSE. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE BASE IS CRACKED AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. HE WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT OTHER MURANOS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED. THIS IS A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM AND VERY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR
