SEATS
MY DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BECAME MORE LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. WHEN I ACCELERATE I TILT BACKWARD LETTING MY FOOT COME SLIGHTLY OFF THE PEDAL. THE RESULTING HESITATION OF THE VEHICLE MAKES ME ROCK FORWARD CAUSING MY FOOT TO THEN HIT THE PEDAL AND LURCH THE VEHICLE FORWARD! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SHOULD I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE ENTIRE SEAT COME LOOSE ? *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ALL 5 OF THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO HAVE FAILED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. I REPLACED THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WHEN THE LOCK WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB OR BUTTON ON THE DOOR. SINCE THEN ALL OF THE OTHER DOOR LOCKS, INCLUDING THE LIFT GATE, HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, SUCH AS A FIRE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK ALL THE DOORS SO PASSENGERS COULD ESCAPE. IF I WERE BEING STALKED, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS QUICKLY. THE DOOR LOCK PROBLEM THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED IS BEING EXPERIENCED BY 2004 - 2010 NISSAN MURANO AND MAXIMA OWNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
PROBLEM WITH DOOR LOCKS ON 05 NISSAN MURANO OCCASIONALLY WORKING, OCCASIONALLY NOT. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM IN NISSAN VEHICLES. HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2005 NISSAN MURANO: FOUR OF SIX LOCK ACTUATORS ARE FAILING SIMULTANEOUSLY - THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR, BOTH REAR DOORS AND THE REAR CARGO HATCH. FAILURE WERE INTERMITTENT UNTIL 5/9/10 WHEN ALL FAILED COMPLETELY AT THE SAME TIME. YOU CAN PRESS THE LOCK/UNLOCK SWITCH AND THE DOORS WILL AUDIBLY APPEAR TO LOCK. HOWEVER, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE PRESENTING A SECURITY HAZARD - CAR JACKING, STOLEN PROPERTY, ETC. NISSAN HAS TOLD MANY OF US OWNERS THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY REPLACING ALL THE ACTUATORS AT A COST OF $1,600+. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY STORIES OF THIS SAME FAILURE IN MURANOS AND OTHER NISSAN MODELS THAT IT IS SIMPLY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2005 NISSAN MURANO TAKEN IN TO NISSAN OF GASTONIA ON 4/27/10 TO HAVE THE AIR INTAKE RECALL CORRECTED. MILEAGE IS ABOUT 52,000 MILES. ON 4/29/10, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY HAD TROUBLE WITH DELAYED STARTING. CODE P0345 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A BANK 2 CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND MADE APPOINTMENT FOR THEIR NEXT AVAILABLE DATE 5/4/10 AND TOOK IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. SERVICE MANAGER FELT QUITE CERTAIN THAT THEY HAD LEFT SOMETHING UNPLUGGED. HE CAME BACK TO ME 1 HOUR LATER TO ADVISE THAT I NEEDED A NEW CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. IT COST ME $247 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. TOO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS SENSOR ON LINE ON NISSAN RECALLS FOR THIS NOT TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN ON THE 05 MURANOS' TOO. *TR
