WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO AWD SL I SUDDENLY LOOSE ACCELERATION, THE ENGINE WILL NOT REV AND THE RPM INDICATOR IS 0, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT INDICATORS. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE ACCELERATOR WILL RE-ENGAGE AND THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NO CODES ISSUED. I HAVE REPLACED IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THE TRANSMISSION IN THE LAST 7 MONTHS THE FUEL PUMP, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE O2 SENSORS HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS NOT A PROBLEM THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE...SOUND LIKE THEY ARE NOT BEING EXACTLY FORTHCOMING ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO WITH 54000 MILES PURCHASED NEW IN 07 - AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A POP. LATER REALIZED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT IS LOOSE AT THE BACK LEFT SIDE AND MOVES AND DROPS 2 - 3 INCHES WHEN SAT IN. WOBBLES WHEN TURNING CURVES. ELECTRIC SEAT STILL MOVES BACK AND FORWARD BUT DOES NOT TILT. DEALER SAID OVER THE PHONE WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT THAT IT IS A BROKEN TRACK AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE SEAT FOUNDATION AND WOULD COST $1300 TO REPAIR. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME DEFECT AND SOME MUCH WORSE, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR A SAFETY HAZARD? *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN ABRUPTLY AND OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVERS VIEW. THIS STARTED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO ON MY VEHICLE. OUT OF THE BLUE, THE VISOR WILL FLOP DOWN EVEN THOUGH IT IS SECURELY IN THE CLIP. THE PROBLEM LIES WITHIN THE VISOR ITSELF AS I HAVE REMOVED THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY FOR INSPECTION. THE LOCAL DEALER WANTS OVER $400 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS SAFETY ORIENTED. NISSAN CORPORATE IS OF NO HELP. THEIR "FIX" IS TO APPLY VELCRO TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE. *TR

STEERING
2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 76,000 MILES ON IT. POWER STEERING LEAKAGE IDENTIFIED BY STAIN ON DRIVEWAY, AS WELL AS NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. DEALER DETERMINED THAT CAUSE OF THE LEAK IS A FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. DEALER CHARGED $750 TO INSTALL A NEW HOSE. THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE HOSE ON ANY CAR. CONCERN IS THAT TOTAL FAILURE CAN CAUSE A SURPRISE LOSS OF STEERING RESULTING IN A CRASH. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DRIVING ALONG ROAD AT 40 MPH AND CAR JUST CUT OUT, LOSS POWER . THIS HAPPEN A FEW TIMES AND ALSO HAD PROBLEMS STARTING VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR 630,000 NISSAN MURANO'S BUT MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT ONE OF THEM . I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN CAN ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING A PORTION OF THE CARS OUT THERE WHEN I HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND THIS HAPPENS TO ME AND THEY WILL FIX OTHERS BUT MY WIFE MAY DIE IN A CAR CRASH BECAUSE NO ONE RECALLS THE CAM SENSORS ON ALL OF THE 2003 NISSAN MURANO'S INSTEAD OF JUST SOME. THANK YOU JAMES M. DICKERSON

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO WHEN WE HIT A BUMP AND MY DRIVERS SEAT DROPPED, AFTER I GOT HOME I CHECKED AND THE METAL SEAT FRAME HAD CRACKED ON THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I WORRY BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPENED DURING AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT WOULD OFFER NO SUPPORT TO THE DRIVER AND COULD EVEN HURT THE PASSENGER BEHIND THE DRIVER. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN USA AND TOLD ME TO GET A REPORT FROM DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS NO RECALL

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. THE SPRING THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND MADE IT SAFETY ISSUE AS I CANNOT SEE THE STREET LIGHTS IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT. IF I PUT IT TO THE SIDE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY IT IS IN THE WAY OF MY SIDE VISION. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. RECENTLY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE, CAUSING IT TO ROCK DURING REGULAR DRIVING AND TIP OVER WHEN GOING AROUND TURNS. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THE DEALER REFUSE TO REPAIR THE SEAT UNDER WARRANTY, STATING THAT IT IS A RESULT OF "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I ATTEMPTED TO LOCATE THE PART MYSELF AND LEARNED THAT NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE PART NUMBER SEVEN TIMES, IN ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PART AS IT IS IN HIGH DEMAND. THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN NOT ONLY DUE TO THE BOUNCING AND ROCKING BUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT WILL DISCONNECT COMPLETELY. I CAN'T EVEN FATHOM HOW THIS SEAT WOULD HOLD UP DURING AN ACCIDENT. LAST WEEK, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, A TRACTOR-TRAILER ENTERED MY LANE OF TRAVEL. I SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING IT BUT, DUE TO THE BROKEN SEAT, MY BODY FLEW TOWARD THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, NEARLY CAUSING ME TO TOTALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR IN THE PROCESS. MY CAR RAN OFF THE ROAD BUT, LUCKILY, I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GIVEN GAS. YOU CAN HOLD THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN KICKS IN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN OR CROSSING A STREET. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND NISSAN KEEPS TELLING ME DIFFERENT THINGS. IT SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM FROM POSTS I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS. *TR

STEERING
2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 66,000 MILES ON IT. POWER STEERING LEAKAGE IDENTIFIED BY STAIN ON DRIVEWAY, AS WELL AS NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITH LOW FLUID, STEERING IS SLUGGISH AT ALL SPEEDS. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT CAUSE OF THE LEAK IS A FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. CURRENT REMEDY IS TO ADD ROUGHLY A HALF PINT OF POWER STEERING FLUID EVERY FEW DAYS, AND AVOIDING DRIVING THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THIS PART ARE DOCUMENTED ON WEB FORUMS, NHTSA SITE, AS WELL AS BEING COMMON KNOWLEDGE AMONG THE MECHANICS NETWORK. CONCERN IS THAT TOTAL FAILURE CAN CAUSE A SURPRISE LOSS OF STEERING RESULTING IN A CRASH. *TR

STEERING
TURNED ON MY CAR AND FOUND A LOUD RACKETING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. KEPT DRIVING CAR UNTIL MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME COMPLETELY LOCKED, LUCKILY I WAS NEAR A SEARS AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. DIAGNOSED IT AS A LEAK IN MY POWER STEERING HOSE. THEY ADDED POWER STEERING FLUID AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. AFTER 24 HOURS, THE STEERING FLUID THEY HAD ADDED HAD COMPLETELY LEAKED TO A PUDDLE UNDER MY CAR AND MY WHEEL WAS LOCKED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE EXACT SAME CAR AND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2006 MURANO HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES, THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NEAR A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY WHEEL BECAME COMPLETELY LOCKED! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF! *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO; DRIVER'S SEAT FELL DOWN AT THE REAR OF THE SEAT. DEALER STATES THAT IT IS A COMMONLY KNOWN FAILURE OF THE SEAT'S "LIFT ASSEMBLY". THANKFULLY, I WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEARBY WHEN IT HAPPENED. I SWERVED AT THE TIME AND STRAINED TO PULL OVER SAFELY B/C I COULDN'T REACH THE PEDALS VERY WELL WITH THE SEAT IN THE AWKWARD POSITION IT WAS IN. FOR SURE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER, AND IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN ON MANY VEHICLES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT POOR MANUFACTURING IS TO BLAME. REALLY, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. WHAT A DANGER! *TR
