DRIVER SEAT ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPPED AND SHIFTED ABRUPTLY CAUSING ME TO TEMPORARILY LOOSE CONTROL AND CROSS THE CENTER LINE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY 15 IN VIRGINIA. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND GET BACK INTO MY LANE BEFORE A COLLISION. SUBSEQUENT EXAMINATION OF THE SEAT REVEALED A HINGED CONNECTING MEMBER AT THE REAR LEFT SECTION OF THE SEAT FRAME OF THE 10 WAY POWER DRIVER'S SEAT HAD FAILED CAUSING THE SEAT TO FALL AND SHIFT TO THE LEFT. FREDERICK NISSAN IDENTIFIED PART NUMBER 87450-CA66A AS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE SEAT. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO NISSAN AMERICA AND WAS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAVE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY BOTH VISORS HAVE LOST THEIR TENSION CAUSING THEM TO FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING, BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. ALSO THEY WILL NOT STAY WHERE THEY ARE PLACED, SO THEY DO NOT SERVE THE PURPOSE OF BLOCKING THE SUN MAKING THEM MORE HAZARDOUS. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH NISSAN CORPORATE (FILE NUMBER [XXX]) IN MARCH OF 2010, BUT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2006 NISSAN MURANO S AWD VIN # [XXX]. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE END OF MARCH 2010. I SCHEDULED MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT IN THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. PRIOR TO THE APPT, I NOTICED A MAJOR DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE 2 FUEL INSTRUMENT GAUGES. WHENEVER FUEL WOULD BE DOWN TO AROUND A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS, ONE OR BOTH OF THE GAUGES/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WOULD SHOW ANY WHERE FROM 1/2 A TANK OF FUEL TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE IN APRIL, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT, AND THAT MY AFTER MARKET WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM THAT DEALERSHIP, DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR NEEDED. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE 'FUEL SENDER'(FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT). I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR(S) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WITH PARTS AND LABOR, THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST WOULD BE $450. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM MYSELF, I FOUND THAT NISSAN IS HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE IN OTHER MODELS THE SAME MODEL YEAR, 2006. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND FOUND THAT NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE ARE BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME. I FEEL THAT GIVEN THE LARGE-SCALE RECALL (540,000 VEHICLES MOSTLY IN THE US) IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL OTHER MODELS, SAME YEAR, SAME PROBLEM, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MY MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I HAVE NOT AS OF YET RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE ROADWAY BUT THAT IS MAINLY DUE TO CONSTANTLY KEEPING THE TANK AT LEAST HALF FULL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AT MY EXPENSE IN HOPES THAT THE NHTSA WILL MAKE NISSAN EXTEND ITS RECALL, AS IT SHOULD. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IS LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. IT APPEARS THAT ONE OF THE BRACKETS BROKE UNDERNEATH. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND THEN NISSAN CORPORATE SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF MURANO OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A REALLY SAFETY CONCERN BUT I FEAR THAT NISSAN WILL ONLY DO SOMETHING ONCE SOMEONE DIES FROM IT. *TR
