2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT AND SUN VISOR. MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAS HAD TWO PARTS FAIL THAT I BELIEVE ARE A SAFETY CONCERN AND WARRANT A RECALL. THE 1ST PART IS THE DRIVERS SEAT. I'M NOT A LARGE PERSON BUT THE LEFT SIDE SEAT BRACKET BROKE AND NOW MY SEAT ROCKS LEFT AND RIGHT. I CAN'T RAISE THE SEAT UP AND DOWN BECAUSE ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE WORKS. THE SEAT ALSO BOUNCES UP AND DOWN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MURANO AND NISSAN'S EXCUSE IS "WEAR AND TEAR." SERIOUSLY??? NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SEAT FOR $1000 +. THE SECOND PART THAT HAS FAILED IS THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR. WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP, THE SUN VISOR SWIVELS DOWN AND TOTALLY BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VIEW OUT THE WINDOW. THIS IS NOT SAFE. NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SUN-VISOR FOR $350. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH 29K MILES. WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS I FELT A POP IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEARD A METALLIC SOUND FROM UNDER THE SEAT. FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS FELT UNSTABLE AND WOULD MOVE FREELY DURING TURNS AND NORMAL ACCELERATION/BRAKING. THIS INCIDENT SEEMS COMMON BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH AND IS REFERRED TO AS A BACK-LEFT LEANING PROBLEM. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT NO RECALL. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON OUR 2005 NISSAN MURANO NO LONGER STAYS IN POSITION. THE VISOR WILL JUST 'FLOP' DOWN WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR ANY OTHER ABRUPT MANEUVER. WHEN THE VISOR FLOPS DOWN THE VISION OF THE DRIVER BECOMES IMPAIRED. THE DRIVER CAN PUSH THE VISOR BACK UP INTO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION BUT THE VISOR WILL THEN JUST FLOP DOWN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE VISOR UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO PAY BETWEEN $400-$460 FOR A NEW VISOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL ONLY STAY IN THE FULL UP POSITION OR FULLY DOWN. TO DRIVE IN THE SUN, I HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND. DEALER HAS REPLACED A CLIP, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. THEY SAY THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE ($400 +) THE SUNVISOR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE PROBLEM IS TRYING TO PUT GAS INTO MY VEHICLE THE NOZZLE ON THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OF AND SPIT GAS BACK TODAY I HAD A PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY HUSBAND REPEATEDLY HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALER AND WITH THE NISSAN COMPANY DIRECTLY. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR, MODEL AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM TOO. YOU HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE NOZZLE ON AND MOVING IT AROUND IN THE GAS TANK TRYING TO FIND A POSITION WHERE THE NOZZLE WON'T SHUT OFF OR SPIT THE GAS BACK AT YOU. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME WHERE I HAD TO COME HOME AND CHANGE MY CLOTHES, GAS ON MY SHOES, AND PANTS, HANDS, ARMS I CONSIDER THIS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE A CIGARETTE LIT AT THE PUMPS AS ILLEGAL AS IT MAY BE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS SO IS NOT THE PUMP AT ONE CERTAIN STATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2006 NISSAN MURANO, AFTER DRIVING 85 MILES CONTINUOUSLY ON THE INTERSTATE, WHEN I SLOWED TO MERGE TO ANOTHER INTERSTATE LOST ALL POWER WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I WAS STOPPED WITH NO EMERGENCY LANE IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA AND WAS LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED THE OTHERS MERGING AND TRAVELING BY AT 70 M.P.H.! IT EVENTUALLY GAVE ME SOME POWER WHICH I USED TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE AND CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN DES MOINES. I WAS ABLE TO "LIMP" THE CAR THE 20 MINUTE DRIVE ON BACK ROADS IN DES MOINES WHERE WITHIN AN HOUR, THE DEALER TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER NISSAN EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE A FAILED ONE, IT STRIKES ME THAT A REPAIR/RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ON THESE BEFORE AN INCIDENT LIKE MINE OCCURS. I HAD THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR, WITH OTHER CARS RACING BY ME AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR..BUT OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY! *TR

EQUIPMENT
I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND IN THE FALL OF 2009, STARTED EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH MY SUNVISOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT JUST MINE, BUT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING, THE SUNVISOR RANDOMLY FALLS DOWN, SOMETIMES HITTING ME (OR MY FAMILY) IN THE HEAD. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALWAYS OCCURS ON ROUGH ROAD SURFACES BUT ALSO HAPPENS ON SMOOTH HIGHWAYS, AND AT RANDOM TIMES, OFTEN STARTLING ME OR WHOEVER IS DRIVING MY CAR. WE HAVE PURCHASED & REPLACED THE CLIPS THAT HOLDS THE VISOR BUT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE VISOR JUST DOES NOT LOCK IN THE "UP" POSITION. WE HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IS A $350-400 REPLACEMENT PART. OTHER OWNERS HAVE INDICATED THEY WILL NOT COVER IS UNDER THEIR "GOODWILL PROGRAM" EITHER.

MY 2006 MURANO DRIVER SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. IT LEANS VERY FAR TO THE LEFT WHEN TURNING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT A SEAT WOULD STAY ATTACHED TO A VEHICLE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO FIX THE SEAT. *CN

I AM A 5'9" WOMAN WHO WEIGHS 150 POUNDS. MY NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT TIPS WHENEVER I MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT AND POSSIBLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME $1000 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED DUE TO A THIN WELD THAT BROKE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN WOULD BE WILLING TO CORRECT WITH LOW OR NO COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT TO THE CONSUMER.

PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPS DOWN CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WHENEVER I HIT ANY TYPE OF BUMP OR SWERVE IN THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER ONE ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FAILURE OCCURS EVERY DAY, SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VISORS. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $400+ TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY NISSAN A LONG TIME AGO.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE ISSUE ORIGINATED WITH THE AIR INTAKE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN RECALLED LAST YEAR. PRIOR TO THE RECALL I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN BECAUSE OF THE POOR PERFORMANCE AND NEAR ACCIDENTS THAT THE AIR INTAKE ISSUE CAUSED. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO TOWN NORTH NISSAN TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS MY MOTOR MOUNTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THAT WOULD FIX THE AIR INTAKE ISSUE. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THE AIR INTAKE AND FIXING THE MOTOR MOUNTS DID NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THE AIR INTAKE RECALL CAME OUT I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED. WHILE PICKING UP MY CAR I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT MY FRUSTRATION ON HAVING TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH NEVER RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON THE MURANO WERE WEAK (NOT JUST MINE BUT ACROSS THE BOARD) AND THEY FELT THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CARS IN MY LIFE AND HAVE PUT OVER 100,000 MILES ON SEVERAL OF THE CARS THAT I OWNED AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS. IF NISSAN KNOWS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE WEAK ON THIS CAR THEN WHY HAS THAT PART NOT BEEN RECALLED?

STEERING
I BOUGHT A 206 NISSAN MURANO FROM A DEALER. THE CAR WAS CERTIFIED CLEAN BY MANHEIM THE AUCTION HOUSE.THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION BY STEVENS CREEK NISSAN WWW.STEVENSCREEKNISSAN.COM. IT WAS CERTIFIED CLEAN WITH ABSOLUTELY _NO_LEAKS_. THEN 30 DAYS LATER I HEAR A WHINE WITHIN THE CAR AND I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO INSPECT. IT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A LEAK IN POWER STEERING FLUID HOSE. HOW COME 30 DAYS THERE WASN'T ANY REPORTED LEAK , BUT NOW THERE IS A LEAK THAT HAD DRAINED A LOT OF POWER STEERING FLUID AND THAT CAUSED THE HIGH PITCH WHINE. THE MECHANIC ADDED SOME POWER STEERING FLUID AND THE SOUND STOPPED. WHEN I CHECKED WITH A KRAGEN STORE WHERE I WENT TO BUY POWER STEERING FLUID , THEY SAID THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN. I CHECKED THE NEWS GROUPS ONLINE AND I FIND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT NISSAN POWER STEERING HOSE.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 9/2/09. I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY POWER STEERING FLUID WAS DRAINED WHEN I CHECKED UNDER MY HOOD ON VACATION. IF I DIDN'T HAPPEN TO SEE IT, I COULD HAVE HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE POWER STEERING WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, AND IF NISSAN DOESN'T WANT MAJOR LAWSUITS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH, THEY HAD BETTER GET ON THE STICK AND DO A RECALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT ANCHOR NO LONGER WORKS. THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY WIFE'S 2006 MURANO IS TILTED TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND ROCKS AND APPEARS "LOOSE" WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. IN MY OPINION THERE IS THE POTENTIAL DANGER THAT THE SUIT CAN MORE EASILY BECOME FULLY UNANCHORED IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED A COLLISION. A. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT IN THAT AN OBVIOUS LAYER OF DRIVER PROTECTION HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISED. I DO NOT FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME INJURED BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED TO FIX THE DEFECT AND URGE THE NHTSA TO MANDATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

NISSAN MURANO 2006, I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL RECALLS IN THE PAST. I TOOK MY SUV TO THE DEALER IN JAN 2010 FOR A POWER STEERING LEAK. THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME THE HOSE HAD TO BE REPAIRED, SO I GOT IT REPAIRED. A MONTH LATER I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEB 2010. NOW NISSAN SERVICE IS BLAMING ON THE POWER STEERING RACK, AND IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED FOR $2000.00. I WENT ON LINE TO SEE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND FOUND OTHERS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE. I THINK IT'S VERY UNJUST FOR NISSAN TO CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO THE EXTREME FOR THEIR DEFECTS. PLEASE HELP! I AM UNEMPLOYED FOR 12 MONTHS, AND I NEED MY VEHICLE. *TR
