I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD MY LIFT LINK WAS BROKEN. I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT PRIOR TO BRINGING CAR IN. HE TOLD ME NISSAN MURANO HAD A HISTORY OF THIS DEFECT. I WAS NEVER TOLD OF THIS DEFECT. I QUESTION WHY THE DEALER FAILED TO TELL ME THIS UPON LEASING THE 2007 MURANO AND SECONDLY HOW IT JUST HAPPENED TO BREAK DURING A VISIT. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THE LIFT LINK KEEPS THE SEAT IN A STABLE POSITION. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO SHOW THE CONSUMER THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND COULD BE DANGEROUS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE TECHNICIAN EXAMINED THE VISOR AND STATED IT WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED IVOQ 08/12/10*JB *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN, SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ ON FORUMS AND THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS, AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ THEY WANT TO RIP YOU OFF ON PRICE FOR A NEW ONE. YOU LOSE YOUR TOTAL VISION OF THE ROAD WHEN IT FALLS. IT FALLS VERY OFTEN, ABOUT EVERY 5 MINUTES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

MY 2007 MURANO HAS A CRACKED SUPPORT BAR THAT ALLOWS THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH AS I DRIVE. THE COST ESTIMATE WAS OVER $1000. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 1 MILLION MILES IN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A CRACKED SEAT (49,000 MILE ON THE CAR). *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS REGARDING A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT LOCK IN THE UP POSITION. THIS CAUSES IT TO FALL DONW INTO THE FIELD OF VIEW AND IS A DEFINATE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS AS IT CAN BLOCK YOU VISION WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR ONCE OUT OF WARRENTY AND IT COSTS UPWARDS OF $400 TO DO THE REPAIR. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS AND HAVE EVEN HEARD FROM DEALERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THESE VEHICLES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2003. THIS SHOULD DEFINATELY BE A SAFTEY RECALL AS IT COULD CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO HAS BROKEN DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME. IT BROKE WHILE BRAKING FOR STOP SIGN AT A SLOW SPEED AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD APPROX. 50,000 MILES. IT NOW ROCKS TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING AND TURNING. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATE TO REPAIR SEAT FRAME IS $1,000. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THIS MODEL AND NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND FIXING THE PROBLEM AND MAKING MY VEHICLE SAFE TO OPERATE. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SUNVISOR DOES NOT REMAIN IN RETRACTED (STOWED) POSITION. SUNVISOR ROTATES ABOUT PIVOT ROD DUE TO ROAD VIBRATION AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS DRIVERS VIEW. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS EXACERBATED WITH NIGHT TIME DRIVING OR IN BAD WEATHER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN DESIGN OF THE SUNVISOR RETRACT CAM MECHANISM. THE SUNVISOR UNIT CANNOT BE REPAIRED, IT MUST BE REPLACED AND IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED DIRECTLY AND REFUSES TO REPLACE THE COMPONENT. AN INTERNET SEARCH HAS REVEALED MANY SIMILAR FAILURES IN MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS AND 116 REPORTS ARE ON FILE WITH NHTSA AS OF THIS WRITING. THIS SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THESE DEFECTIVE SUNVISORS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR ENGINE SHUT DOWN ALL OF SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND DIDN'T RESPOND TO ACTION ON ACCELERATOR. THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND 2 POLICE CARS CAME AND PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER. ACCORDING TO A DIAGNOSIS, WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE IS THE FAILURE OF THE FUSE BOX. POWER COMES IN THE FUSE BOX BUT DOES NOT COME OUT. AND ALSO WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS FAILURE IS UNCOMMON. THE PART WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, WE ARE NOW VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF OUR CAR BECAUSE THE ABOVE CRITICAL ENGINE FAILURE OCCURRED TO OUR FAIRLY NEW CAR WHILE DRIVING. WE PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND THE CAR IS A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD AND ITS MILEAGE IS ONLY ABOUT 19K. *CN

FRONT SEAT HAS BECOME LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THEY CALLED TO LET ME KNOW IT WOULD COST 1000.00 FOR THE PART AND 200.00 FOR LABOR. IN A STRUGGLING ECONOMY I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. THIS SEAT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN AS I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE MANY OTHER OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. *TR

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, I BEGIN TO NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ROCKING EVERY TIME I TURNED. THIS IS NOT A SLIGHT ROCKING. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SEAT MOVES 2-3 INCHES. I WAS ACTUALLY BUMPING INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE. IT SEEMS TO BE LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A "BROKEN BRACKET IN THE LINK ARM." THERE IS AN EXTENDED BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY ON THE CAR, BUT NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE PART. I DO NOT VIEW THIS AS A COSMETIC ISSUE OR A MINOR PROBLEM. I HAVE TRUE CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT WITH A LOOSE SEAT, ESPECIALLY IN A ROLLOVER. *TR
