STEERING
IN MAY 2009, I PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN MURANO FROM CARMAX, I CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR ANY LEAK SIGNS AND NONE WERE NOTICE,THE VEHICLE HAD 27000 MILES AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING FROM ORLANDO FLORIDA, WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, I NOTICE A NOISE AND A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL, I PULLED OVER, OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICE THAT THE STEERING FLUID WAS ALMOST GONE, I ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID AND MADE IT HOME,AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB I NOTICE THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEMS,AFTER THAT I VISITED A NISSAN DEALER, AND MY SURPRISE WAS THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW THE PART NUMBER FOR THIS ISSUE,AND ASKED THE DESK PERSONEL ABOUT IT, AND THEY SAID THAT SO MANY PEOPLE LOOKED FOR THE SAME PART SO MANY TIME THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW IT BY HEART. IT COST ME ALMOST 500 DOLLAR TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIR AT THE DEALER.THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM,IT IS DEFECTIVE FROM DAY ONE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE ON 11/9/2010 APPROXIMATELY AROUND 6:00 PM. AS I WAS DRIVING MY MURANO NISSAN ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO GO HOME AFTER WORK, I HEARD A HARD SNAP AND FELT A LITTLE JERK TOWARDS MY LEFT SIDE. UNSURE OF WHAT IT WAS, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD. AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, I FELT A ROUGH THUMPING UNDERNEATH MY SEAT. I THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE THAT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS GOING FLAT OR HAD SOME KIND OF PROBLEM. AS I DROVE FURTHER, I FELT MY FRONT SEAT SWAY BACK AND FORTH, AS I ACCELERATED AND AS I WAS BRAKING. I ACCELERATED AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SWAYING MOTION WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. AGAIN, THE SWAYING MOTION (BACK AND FORTH) OF THE FRONT SEAT OCCURRED. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CHECKED THE SEAT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS BROKEN COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM THE TRACK AND MOVES FREELY. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN TULSA TO HAVE IT CHECKED TODAY, AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED A NEW FRAME FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT, AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1275.00 INSTALLED. I HAVE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH ONLINE TO DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A DEFECT FOR THE NISSAN MURANO FOR THE YEARS THAT INCLUDE THE 2005. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE RODE WITH THE SEAT ABLE TO MOVE SO FREELY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE AT WELL, AND THEN I'LL END UP LAYING ON MY BACK IN THE BACK SEAT WHILE I'M TRYING TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD.

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT WHEN ACTIVATED ONLY MOVES ON ONE SIDE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID SINCE I AM PAST THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT PAY THE $1,300.00 PLUS REPAIR FEE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 42,000 MILE ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE AND I WENT OUT TO GO TO AN APPOINTMENT WHEN THE REMOTE ACCESS KEY DIDN'T WORK. WE TRIED TO USE OUR KEY AND THAT FAILED TO WORK AS WELL. BASICALLY, WE WERE LOCKED OUT OF OUR CAR WITH NO WAY TO GAIN ACCESS TO OUR VEHICLE. TWO HOURS LATER I CAME OUT AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN. REMEMBER, TWO HOURS AGO WE WERE LOCKED OUT AND NOW ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS UNLOCKED WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING TO IT. SO I TEST THE DOOR WITH THE MANUAL KEY TO SEE IF IT ALL WORKS AND BY SOME MIRACLE IT DOES. BUT ONCE AGAIN, THE REMOTE KEY DOESN'T WORK. THE WIFE TOOK IT APART AND RE-ASSEMBLED IT AND THEN IT WORKED. THIS FEELS LIKE IT WILL BECOME A HUGE PROBLEM AND I'VE READ REPORTS OF THE SAME CATEGORY OF NISSAN MURANO FAILURES AND AM AFRAID OF AN EMERGENCY WHERE THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE OPENED AND IT CAN'T BE IN A RELIABLE TIME FRAME. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT JAMMED IN ONE POSITION AND WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WELD ON THE FRAME BROKE AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT WARRANT WELDING IT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRAME, WHICH INCLUDED ALL MOTORS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND THE COST WOULD BE $1,400. I THOUGHT THE COST WAS ASTRONOMICAL FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT NOW OBVIOUSLY MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SEAT MAY BREAK AWAY FROM THE FRAME COMPLETELY AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AFTER MY WIFE AND I WENT ONLINE AND VIEWED SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY DEFAULT!

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED, BUT AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET FOUND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE MY FIANCE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS "WIGGLING" AND DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. WE BROUGHT IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT THE RAIL THAT HOLDS THE SEAT IN PLACE HAD BROKE. THEY WELDED IT BUT STATED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. AT APPROXIMATELY 81,000 MILES I NOTICED A BURNING OIL SMELL AFTER DRIVING. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THE TRANSFER CASE WAS OUT OF OIL. THE SERVICE DEPT. RESEALED THE TRANSFER CASE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. AT ABOUT 96,000 MILES I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT BEFORE END OF WARRANTY AND AGAIN THE TRANSFER CASE LEAKED OUT THE OIL AND I HAD SERVICE ON TRANSFER CASE. THE SEALS HAD TO BE REDONE, ALSO UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE THE CAR IN NOW FOR ROUTINE SERVICE WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND FILL AND BECAUSE I AM GETTING A STRANGE TICKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. NOTIFIED THAT CVT FLUID LEAKING ONTO OUTSIDE OF TRANSFER CASE. NEEDS TRANSMISSION SEAL REDONE. OVER $2000. I AM GETTING THE SEAL REDONE UNDER TRANSMISSION 120,000 WARRANTY FROM NISSAN. DEALERSHIP SAYS I SHOULD GET THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS REDONE BUT THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE CLOSE TO $2000 EXTRA THIS WOULD COST. SEEMS THAT THE SEALS SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 8,000 MILES AS THEY SEEMED TOO AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE NEW AND NOT REPLACING THEM UNTIL AFTER 50,000 MILES. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT A PRESSURE VALVE AND OTHER TRANSMISSION ISSUES I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE REPLACED AS I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT JUST REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FORWARD SEAL(?) WILL NOT CORRECT THE LEAKING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL "GO OUT" AFTER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSFER CASE/TRANSMISSION IN THIS YEAR/MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THAT NISSAN KNOWS THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC I HEARD A SLIGHT "POP" SOUND AT WHICH POINT THE POWER DRIVER'S SEAT DROPPED TOWARDS THE DOOR. I TRIED READJUSTING THE SEAT BUT AS I TRIED TO RAISE THE SEAT THE LEFT SIDE WOULD NOT COME BACK TO LEVEL. AFTER PARKING THE CAR, I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT TO FIND THE SEAT BRACKET WAS BROKEN. I WAS SURPRISED HOW LONG IT HAD LASTED WITHOUT BRAKING AFTER OBSERVING HOW SMALL GAUGE OF METAL USED. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

2010 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE GLASS OF THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED INTO BITS. IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANY OBJECT, AS TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS NO OVERPASS IN THE AREA. NISSAN SAID THEY FOUND NO MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND MY INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER IT AS GLASS. I PAID FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON 2007 NISSAN MURANO IS BROKEN, CAUSING SUN VISOR TO FLOP DOWN WHILE DRIVING CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT NOT ONLY STARTLES ME WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT IT ALSO BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA CHARGES $404 FOR THE PART ALONE AND AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE IF THEY ALSO INSTALL IT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION. *TR
