VISIBILITY
DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY DROP DOWN FROM THE HORIZONTAL POSITION WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER MINOR BUMP IMPAIRING THE DRIVERS VISION. SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF VISIBILITY CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF THEM UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO PUSH THE VISOR BACK UP TO THE HORIZONTAL POSITION. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
FAULTY SUN VISOR DROPS EASILY WHEN GOING OVER MINOR BUMP. IT CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR CRASH WHEN DISTRACTED TO RAISE THE SUN VISOR TO THE NORMAL POSITION. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN NISSAN MURANO'S EVERYWHERE. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET. *TR

SEATS
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I BRAKE BECAUSE THERE WAS TRAFFIC AHEAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT A POP AND THE SEAT DIPPED DOWN AND BACK. I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THE DISTRACTION OF THE SEAT BRAKING AND BRACING MYSELF SO THAT I DIDN'T FALL. THE SEAT THEN BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. I HAD TO SUSTAIN THE SEATS WITH BRICKS UNDERNEATH THE SEAT SO THAT I CAN BE ABLE TO DRIVE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DEALER AND THE RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER WAS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THAT THE OTHER REPLACEMENT SEATS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HE BASICALLY TOLD ME "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A NEW SEAT BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN". THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND IS BEYOND ME THAT NISSAN WILL NOT DO A RECALL ON THIS! IT IS AMAZING THAT SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 30 DEGREES, IT APPEARS THAT THE PIPES/HOSES BY WHICH THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID CIRCULATES TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FREEZE. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID IS FINE, BUT THE DRIVER CAN'T WASH THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THE WINDOW WASHER FLUID DOESN'T COME OUT. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN IT SNOWS AND THE STREETS HAVE BEEN TREATED. THE SLUSH/DIRTY SNOW FLOATING FROM OTHER CARS STICKS TO THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE WINDSHIELD GLASS GETS VERY DIRTY TO THE POINT THAT THE DRIVER CAN'T SEE WHERE HE/SHE IS DRIVING. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY RECOMMENDED TAKING THE CAR TO A GARAGE AND KEEPING IT RUNNING FOR TWO HOURS UNTIL THE PIPES THAW OUT. I DON'T HAVE A GARAGE, I AM AT WORK, AND I NEED TO DRIVE BACK HOME IN A SLUSHY SNOWY DAY, BUT I CAN'T WASH THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE WINDOW WIPERS BECAUSE THE FLUID IS NOT COMING OUT TO BE ABLE TO WASH IT. FRANKLY, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE BACK HOME. THE PIPES NEED TWO HOURS TO THAW OUT. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE! MY RIDE TO WORK IS 30 MINUTES. *TR

SEATS
I GOT IN MY CAR AFTER WORK, STARTED DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, AND I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND (LIKE A BAR IN THE SEAT BROKE/POPPED) FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT OF MY VEHICLE. RIGHT AFTERWARDS MY SEAT STARTED ROCKING AND LEANING TO THE LEFT. I PUSHED THE ELECTRICAL SEAT BUTTONS TO MAKE SURE THE POWER WAS STILL WORKING, BUT NOW THE SEAT IS ROCKING. *TR

SEATS
WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET FAILED CAUSING THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT TO DIP DOWN AND ROCK BACK AND FORTH. THE SEAT IS NOW UNSTABLE AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT NHTSA AND NISSAN ARE AWARE THAT THESE SEATS ARE A PROBLEM AND THAT PREVIOUS CONCERNS AND REQUESTS FOR A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE HAVE FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND FIX THESE SEATS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. *TR

SEATS
WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK ON THE INTERSTATE I HEARD A POP AND THE DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSED TOWARD THE DRIVER DOOR. AFTER ALMOST COLLIDING WITH A VEHICLE IN THE ADJACENT LANE I CAME TO A SAFE STOP ON THE SHOULDER AND INVESTIGATED THE DRIVER SEAT. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SEAT 4-5 INCHES FORM THE LEFT REAR TOWARD THE RIGHT FRONT QUADRANT. I LOWERED THE SEAT WHICH TOOK SOME OF THE PLAY OUT OF THE SEAT AND FINISHED THE DRIVE HOME. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE METAL SEAT FRAME HAD BROKEN LOOSE AT TWO BRACKETS. I'M STILL RESEARCHING SAFE ALTERNATIVES TO FIX THE SEAT FRAME. THE NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD A TSB ON THE SEAT AND THE REPLACEMENT FRAME HAD THE SAME FATIGUE ISSUES. THIS KNOWN DEFICIENCY BY NISSAN IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

STEERING
MURANO BEGAN LEAKING FROM THE POWER STEERING HOSE. FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A 18-WHEELER. IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. MADE A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE. COMPLAINED TO NISSAN. THEY INITIALLY PROMISED TO REPAIR THE HOSE BUT THEN BACKED DOWN AND (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS) OFFERED TO SELL ME A NEW NISSAN AT DEALER COST. I'M THE 2ND OWNER AND THE CAR WAS INITIALLY PURCHASED IN 2006. THIS IS A DEADLY PROBLEM AND A FACTORY DEFECT. NISSAN HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE IT AND MOST PROBABLY FINDS IT LESS EXPENSIVE TO LITIGATE ANY DEATHS AS A RESULT OF THE POWER STEERING HOSE FAILURE RATHER THAN RECALL THE MURANO. *TR

STEERING
STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT AND CAR WAS MAKING LOUD NOISE. I HAD NO STEERING FLUID LEFT AT ALL. MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE AND IT COULD BE THE STEERING GEAR/RACK THAT COULD COST UP TO $1,700 TO REPAIR .AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR
