A 2003 NISSAN MURANO HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED A FLOPPY SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND IS ABOUT TO ACQUIRE A FLOPPY VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ALSO, THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE MAINLY DUE TO THE DISTRACTION. THE DEALERS WANT AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT FOR THIS PART (300-400DOLLAR RANGE) WHEN THE ONLY THING A CUSTOMER HAS DONE IS BUY THE CAR (25,000-30,000). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2003 NISSAN MURANO, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME I BROUGHT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WAS WRONG. ON SATURDAY SEPT 26, 2009 AT 4:00 PM I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO AND WITHOUT WARNING OR ANYTHING THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY, EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING INCLUDING THE BREAKS. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS APPEARS SOME 2003 NISSAN MURANO'S WERE RECALLED BY NHTSA, BUT WHEN I WENT TO NISSAN THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL? I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I'VE EXPERIENCED EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL ( 03V455000) IS INDICATING. I DON'T BELIEVE NISSAN RECALLED ALL THE CARS THEY SHOULD HAVE WITH THIS PROBLEM, OBVIOUSLY SINCE I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN NEED TO RECALL MY 2003 NISSAN AND ALL OTHERS ITS FAILED TO INCLUDE EITHER BY ERROR OR ON PURPOSE? I TRIED TO WORK WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA NO HELP AT ALL. I NEED SOMEONE TO REVIEW THIS CASE AND HOPEFULLY SAVE LIVES BY HAVING NISSAN DO A COMPLETE RECALL ON THE CARS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

ABOUT A WEEK AGO I SAT DOWN IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND HEARD A CRACK AND THE SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK. I LOOKED UNDER THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND NOTICED THE SEAT RISER HAD BROKEN. THIS SURPRISED ME AS I AM NOT A HEAVY GUY, I WEIGH 200 POUNDS. THE SEAT HASN'T SEEN ANY DAMAGE OUT OF THE ORDINARY WEAR AND TEAR, AND THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I FIGURED IT WAS JUST A SINGLE DEFECT AND TOOK IT TO MY DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST JUST OVER $1000 TO REPLACE THE BRACKET. THEY ALSO TOLD ME EVERY SINGLE MURANO THEY HAVE SOLD HAS THIS PROBLEM. I GOT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND SOMEONE TO FIX IT CHEAPER AND FOUND OUT NOT ONLY HAVE MANY PEOPLE HAD THERE SEAT BREAK, BUT IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE. AT THIS POINT I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO RIGHT IT. I CAN'T IMAGINE THE OUTCOME FOR SOMEONE IF ONE OF THESE SEATS BREAK DURING AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE A BRACKET WITH THICKER METAL AND REPLACE ALL THESE FAULTY ONES BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

MY DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE IN THE SAME MANNER AS A NUMBER OF OTHER DRIVER'S. THERE IS PLENTY OF INSTANCES AVAILABLE THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO FIND A QUICK RESOLUTION TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. HTTP://X.NISSANHELP.COM/FORUMS/MURANO/3302-DRIVERS-SEAT.HTML THE DRIVER SEAT IS ANCHORED ON THE RIGHT SIDE BUT IS LOOSE FROM THE LEFT REAR, ALLOWING SIGNIFICANT ROCKING BACK AND FORTH AND RIGHT TO LEFT WHEN TAKING TURNS, HITTING THE BRAKES OR ANYTIME THE CAR IS MOVING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2005 AND AM HAPPY TO SAY I AM HEALTHY ENOUGH TO NOT BE ON RECORD GUINNESS AS THE HEAVIEST PERSON THAT COULD BRAKE A CAR SEAT. BOTH THE DEALER (WESTON NISSAN, AT WESTON, FLORIDA) AND NISSAN DENIED MY CLAIM ON 9/24/2009. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO THAT I PURCHASED NEW. A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR THE DRIVERS SEAT SEEMED TO COME LOOSE. IT WOBBLES BADLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT BRACKET HAD BROKEN AND I WOULD NEED A NEW SEAT. THE COST OF THE NEW SEAT PLUS INSTALLATION WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1,000. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS TOLD ME THAT NISSAN HAS NO OBLIGATION TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS 44,000 MILES. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER AND TAKE EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF THE VEHICLE. I FIND OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SITUATION. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN DESIGN. HOW CAN NISSAN DISMISS RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE? IF THE SEAT BRACKET FAILS FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN AN ACCIDENT? *TR

I PURCHASED A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. SINCE PURCHASING IT, I'VE HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN AT MULTIPLE SHOPS EVERY TWO MONTHS TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. PROBLEM - DELAYED START AND HESITATION. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM WHEN HE RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC. HE COULDN'T TELL EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I DRIVE, IT STALLS. WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC, THERE'S HESITATION. IT NORMALLY TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO KICK IN, AND THEN I TAKE THE RISK OF HITTING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. IN REVIEWING WEBSITES REGARDING NISSAN MURANOS, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE CVT, PRESSURE SENSORS, ETC. NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO THE DEFECT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS, BUT STILL NO RECALLS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN FIX THE PROBLEM IS BY RESTARTING MY CAR AND THEN SUDDENLY I'M FINE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. WHY IS IT NOT? THE PROBLEM DOESN'T OCCUR ON A DAILY BASIS SO WHEN I GET IT TO THE SHOP THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE IT. IT WON'T SHOW THEM THE SAME SYMPTOMS I DEAL WITH. MY CAR IS AT NISSAN NOW FOR THE AIR INTAKE RECALL. THEY JUST CALLED ME AND TOLD ME IT IS STILL ATTACHED WHICH TELLS THEM IT'S NOT THAT THAT'S CAUSING MY PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE DRIVERS SEAT SUDDENLY COLLAPSED TO THE LEFT. LUCKILY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET GOING SLOW AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THE ANCHOR BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT HAS BROKEN OFF THE HINGE. THE COST OF REPAIR WILL BE APPROX. $1000.00! IT IS NOT A WARRANTY PART. AFTER INVESTIGATING THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IN ADDITION YOUR WEBSITE STATES IT WAS INVESTIGATED AND CLOSED. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE, IF I WAS ON THE PARKWAY DRIVING 55 MPH AND MY SEAT COLLAPSED I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE IS KILLED BEFORE THIS IS INVESTIGATED BETTER AND TAKEN CARE OF! I DO NOT SEE ANY OTHER RECORDS OF DRIVERS SEATS BREAKING LIKE THIS IN CARS THAT ARE 4-5 YEARS OLD. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2003 MURANO FALLS DOWN FROM THE UP POSITION, TO RIGHT IN MY LINE OF SIGHT EVERYTIME I GO OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE DEALER WANTS $500 PER VISOR & I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE MURANO.ORG BULLETIN BOARD. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER THE SUV REACHES 4-5 YEARS AFTER BEING BUILT. *TR

DRIVER'S SUNVISOR IN 2005 NISSAN MURANO RANDOMLY FALLS DOWN WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. SERIOUS MANUFACTURING OR INSTALLATION DEFECT. SINCE WARRANTY IS UP DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE FOR FREE. QUOTED $370.00 FOR LABOR + COST OF PART. WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PERSUADE DEALER TO REPLACE PART 3 YEARS LATER. (TODAY AS A MATTER OF FACT). HAD TO THREATEN TO GET LOCAL NEWS INVOLVED. OTHERS ON MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MAJOR DEFECT AS MANY LIVES COULD BE IN JEOPARDY. I ALMOST WAS IN 2 SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE VISOR JUST RANDOMLY FALLING WHILE DRIVING. THANK GOODNESS FOR BRAKES BECAUSE I AND MY KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER TRAFFIC FATALITY STATISTIC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT A LOW SPEEDS RANGING FROM 10 MPH AND ENGAGING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE IN SPEED. THE RPM'S WERE HIGH AND ALL OF THE GAUGES MOVED UP; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. WITHIN MINUTES, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A RAPID SPEED. THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED THE DRIVER TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS DEFECT ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR IN AN IDLE POSITION. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE A SECOND TIME AND WAS UNABLE TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE, THE DEALER ASKED THE CONTACT TO DRIVE INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THEY WERE STILL UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE IS RELATED TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 140,000.

DRIVER'S-SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY BECAME UNABLE TO STAY AT A SECURE ANGLE, WHICH CAUSES A RECURRING VISIBILITY PROBLEM. IT NO LONGER STAYS AT A SECURE POSITION IF IT IS NOT FLIPPED UP FLAT AGAINST THE HEADLINER. THIS PRECLUDES USING IT AS INTENDED TO BLOCK SUN FROM SHINING DIRECTLY INTO DRIVER'S EYES. IF NOT FLAT AGAINST THE HEADLINER, IT ONLY HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS LINE-OF-SIGHT WHILE DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VISOR'S END IS SECURED OR NOT IN ITS CLIP. TO AVOID SUN SHINING DIRECTLY AND UNSAFELY INTO EYES, IT'S NECESSARY TO HOLD THE VISOR AT NECESSARY ANGLE WITH ONE HAND, LEAVING ONLY ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT MAY SOUND LIKE A MINOR PROBLEM - - UNTIL YOU REGULARLY EXPERIENCE HAVING TO MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN BEING LITERALLY BLINDED BY THE SUN WHILE DRIVING OR HAVING TO USE ONE HAND TO HOLD THE VISOR UP. IT IS NO LONGER COVERED BY MY NOW-EXPIRED 36 MO/3 YR WARRANTY. DEALERS ESTIMATE TO REPAIR: $400.00. *TR

2003 NISSAN MURANO PASSENGER SUN VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE UP POSITION--DROOPS WHICH RESULTS IN BLOCKED VISION. VERY UNSAFE. COMMENTS ON INTERNET INDICATE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH 2003 AND LATER MURANOS. SUGGEST YOU INVESTIGATE--DEALERS ARE APPARENTLY CHARGING $400 PLUS FOR REPAIR OF SHODDY CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR MICHAEL J. BUTTS ATTORNEY AT LAW

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:ANTI-THEFT DEVICES
ON SEPTEMBER 17, MY DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY OR WITH THE ACTUAL KEY. I CALLED NISSAN OF QUEENS TO STATE AGAIN THAT SOMETHING FRAUDULENT WAS DONE TO MY CAR SINCE MY INITIAL VISIT ON SEPTEMBER 4. THEY ADVISED ME TO COME IN TO "CHECK" THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, PAST EXPERIENCE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT WILL BE TO "FIX" THE DOOR, CHARGE ME SOME RIDICULOUS AMOUNT, AND THEN CREATE ANOTHER MALFUNCTION. THIS NEW MALFUNCTION WILL HAVE ME COMING BACK THE NEXT WEEK FOR A REPEAT OF THIS FRAUDULENT SERVICE. MY CAR IS BREAKING DOWN BEFORE MY EYES AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WOULD LET THIS HAPPEN TO A LOYAL CUSTOMER. AS YOU KNOW TAMPERING WITH MY CAR DOOR CAN BE HARMFUL TO MY PERSON IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS: 1.HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2.THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. 3.IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY A HIGH RISK IN EMERGENCY SCENARIOS. SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE $1600 TO HAVE ALL THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED (AS QUOTED BY DEALERS). *TR
