NISSAN MURANO 2005 : DRIVERS POWER SEAT. THE DRIVE GEAR (MADE OF PLASTIC) IS STRIPPED BY THE WORM GEAR (METAL). I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY DEALER AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE $1000.00 REPAIR. IF NISSAN WOULD SUPPLY JUST THE DRIVE GEAR THIS REPAIR COULD BE MADE EASILY. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. YOU MUST BUY THE ENTIRE SEAT TRACK. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE OFF IT,S BASE. WHILE TURNING RIGHT, I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL MY BODY LIFT. NISSAN DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REPAIR BECAUSE THE CAR WAS 3YEARS OLD. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE BASE WAS ORDERED FROM CONTINENTAL NISSAN AND REPLACED AT A COST OF $972. I FILED A CLAIM WITH NISSAN CORPORATION. IT WAS DENIED ON AUG 28TH PRIMARILY BECAUSE I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I COULD HAVE DRIVEN AN UNSAFE CAR FOR 4MONTHS UNTIL THAT DECISION WAS MADE. *TR

1. 2005 NISSAN MURANO - EVERYDAY USE LED UP TO THE FAILURE. 2. THE SEAT BRACKET ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS BROKEN OR SHEARED OFF AT A POINT AND THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND TO THE LEFT DRAMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING. 3.

I HEARD A SNAPPING SOUND WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, AND THE DRIVERS SEAT TILTED BACK AND TO THE LEFT. UPON GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECKING THE SEAT MANUALLY, THE LEFT BACKSIDE MOVED UP AND DOWN 1-2". I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $1189.87 TO REPLACE THE SEAT ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY. THE PART HAS TO BE ORDERED SO THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET, BUT WILL BE WHEN THE PART COMES IN, AND I WILL KEEP THE OLD PART WHEN REPLACED. *TR UPDATED 09/14/09

2005 NISSAN MURANO. DRIVER'S SEAT REAR LEFT BRACKET IS BROKEN. IT IS A SMALL, THIN, L-SHAPED BRACKET THAT IS BROKEN IN TWO PLACES. THE SEAT IS NO LONGER "ATTACHED" TO THE FRAME (ON THIS CORNER) AND THE SEAT ROCKS WHEN YOU SIT IN IT AND AS YOU ARE DRIVING IT. THERE WAS NO CRASH AND BOTH DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE WEIGH LESS THAN 200 LBS, SO OVER-STRESSING IS NOT A PROBLEM. THIS OCCURRED IN AUGUST OF 2009 AND IT HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $910 FOR THE REPAIR OR $700 FOR THE PART ALONE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS A CRASH, THE SEAT WILL NOT REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
REGARDING THE RECENT RECALL ON NISSAN MURANO'S.... I HAVE/HAD THE PROBLEMS INDICATED IN THE RECALL SINCE I PURCHASE THE 2003 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN I WOULD GO INTO THE DEALER OR IF I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS MY BATTERY. MY BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACE 3 TIMES. I HAVE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, STALLING WHEN STARTING, THE ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, I HAD MY HEADLIGHTS/TURN SIGNALS FLASHING WITHOUT ANYONE IN THE CAR AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE IT WOULD NOT TURN. EACH TIME I WOULD COMPLAIN TO THE DEALER ( ED MARTIN NISSAN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA) THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF THIS RECENT RECALL I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BATTERY. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2003, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE CAR STALLS WHEN I PRESS ON GAS IT TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS OR SO TO ACCELERATE WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, ONE TIME EARLIER THE CAR STALLED STOPPED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED PERHAPS A DEADLY ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN TO NISSAN DEALER SEVERAL TIMES MORE THEN 4 WITH THE SAME ISSUE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ISSUES. THE LATEST TIME I WENT TO NISSAN THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION PERHAPS, THIS IS A FAULTY CAR AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

I OWN A 2003 NISSAN MURANO SL WITH ABOUT 101,000 MILES. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES DRIVING I GET THE LAGGING ISSUE WHERE I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AND NOTHING HAPPENS, THEN ALL OF SUDDEN AFTER 5 SECONDS THE CAR ACCELERATES DANGEROUSLY! MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR AND SHE'S ALSO PREGNANT. I'M AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN, AND SHE WOULD ACCELERATE AFTER THE LAGGING ISSUE ONLY TO HIT SOMEONE IN FRONT OF HER AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I'M ALSO AFRAID WHEN SHE TRIES TO MAKE A LEFT TURN DURING THE LAG SOMEONE MIGHT HIT HER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS MANUFACTURE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY NEED TO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

SITTING IN MURANO HEARD A CRACK NOISE FROM BELOW THE SEAT AND SEAT FALLS SIDEWAYS WITH DRIVER LEANING AGAINST THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. AFTER CLOSE INSPECTION - THE METAL ANCHOR THAT SECURES THE SEAT FRAME TO THE CAR HAS BROKEN - METAL WELDING IS BROKEN. I CAN NO LONGER SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR AS IT IS NOT SECURED TO THE FLOOR. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THERE IS NOT A RECALL, DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL COST ME OVER $400. *TR

1. NO REAL "EVENTS" LEADING UP TO IT, IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 2. THE VEHICLE (2003 NISSAN MURANO) WILL STALL AFTER BEING DRIVEN AT RANDOM TIMES. YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS FOR 5-10 SECONDS AND THE IT REVS UP ALMOST GIVING YOU WHIPLASH. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. 3. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS DONE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, NISSAN DOESN'T EVEN ADMIT TO THERE BEING "A PROBLEM." *TR
