LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, EQUIPMENT
2005 NISSAN MURANO DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO LOCK AND UNLOCK. I HAVE A 2005 MURANO AND THE DOOR LOCKS RECENTLY HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE LOCK WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE OR WITH THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON ON DRIVER OR PASSENGER DOOR. THIS IS EVEN A BIGGER PROBLEM HAVING A 2 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR IS MANUALLY. SINCE THERE IS NO KEY HOLE ON THE REAR DOORS YOU HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE VEHICLE TO LOCK THE DOOR. I CAN'T EVEN LOCK THE DOOR IF SHE MANUALLY MOVES THE LOCK WITH HER HAND I CAN'T LOCK IT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE DRIVER LOCK, THEN PROGRESSED TO THE REAR RIGHT DOOR, NOW THREE OF THE 4 DOORS ARE AFFECTED AND ALSO THE REAR HATCH. IT IS NOT AN OPTION TO OPEN IF YOU CAN'T USE THE UNLOCK BUTTON. THERE IS NO MANUAL RELEASE BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE HATCH. THIS CAN A PUBLIC PROBLEM FOR EVER ATTEMPTING TO GET A CHILD OUT OF A CAR IN THE CASE OF ANY EMERGENCY. *TR

GOT IN VEHICLE AND DRIVER RIGHT SEAT CAME UNATTACHED FROM THE FLOOR AND IS STILL LIKE THAT. WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH AND NOT ATTACHED ANY MORE CREATING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AGO AND DEALERSHIP NOT RETURNING CALLS AND ARE ACTING LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AS IF I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO REPORT THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS MY SEAT IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE CAR. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
2009 NISSAN MURANO TPMS FAILURE. FAILURE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ON. DEALER SUGGESTS THAT TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONE NEEDS TO OVER INFLATE THE TIRES TO A MINIMUM OF 36 PSI. RECOMMENDED PRESSURE ON PLACARD IS 32PSI. SAYS THAT IT IS DUE TO LIVING AT HIGH ALTITUDE AND COLD WEATHER. THE DEALER MAKES YOU SIGN A DISCLAIMER THAT STATES "I UNDERSTAND THAT OVER INFLATING TIRES MAY KEEP THE TPMS LIGHT FROM COMING BACK ON, AND THAT TIRES WILL WEAR UNEVENLY AND PREMATURELY. I WISH TO HAVE MY TIRE PRESSURE SET AT A HIGHER THAN RECOMMENDED IN HOPES OF THE TPMS LIGHT NOT COMING ON DUE TO COLD WEATHER OR HIGH ALTITUDE". THEY TELL ME THAT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ALSO THEY STATE THAT "CAUTION!! OVER INFLATING WILL CAUSE THE TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY AND PREMATURELY AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE FACTORY DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS IS NOT THE RECOMMENDED SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE, BUT IS ONE COURSE OF ACTION". THE OTHER SOLUTION IS THAT YOU MUST LIVE WITH IT WHEN THE TIRES ARE INFLATED TO RECOMMENDED PRESSURE OF 32PSI. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE POWER SEAT ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO IS BROKEN. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT MOVES FINE BUT THE RIGHT SIDE IS LOCKED IN ONE POSITION. I HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT A PLASTIC GEAR ON THE SIDE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT USED TO MOVE THE SEAT FROM BACK TO FRONT IS DAMAGED AND NEEDS REPLACED. THIS PLASTIC GEAR IS PROBABLY LESS THAN $5 TO MANUFACTURE BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE WHOLE TRACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $750 (NOT INCLUDING LABOR). THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAS BEEN EXHIBITING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL THE RPMS INCREASE BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE, THEN AFTER TWO TO FIVE SECONDS THE CAR PICKS UP SPEED RAPIDLY. THIS PROBLEM IS MOST NOTICEABLE IN HOT WEATHER AND WHEN I AM IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK, THE CAR DECELERATED QUICKLY AND RESISTED ACCELERATING...I HAD TO DRIVE HOME AT 15 MPH AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE THIS MORNING. *TR
