VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE GAS THE CAR DOES NOT GO FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN WHEN IT GOES IT LUNGES FORWARD. THIS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC, YOU DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO MOVE AT FIRST OR NOT. AND WHEN YOU ARE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND GO TO MOVE UP JUST A LITTLE BIT THE CAR DOES NOT GO THEN WHEN IT DOES YOU ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS IS THE CVT VAVLE BODY. MY CAR IS GIVING ERROR CODE P1722 PER THE DEALER. THE PAPERWORK THEY GAVE ME SAYS ESTEM SPD. SIG. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH BECAUSE THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE BASE HAS BROKEN.THIS SEEMS TO BE A RATHER COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MODEL.THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE THE SEAT IS NO LONGER SOLIDLY AFFIXED TO THE FLOOR.THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW,AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN.THE REPLACEMENT PART TO REMEDY THIS IS ALMOST $500.00 AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE LABOR. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP. IT WILL FALL DOWN OBSTRUCTING VIEW WHEN UNEXPECTED, ESPECIALLY FOR TALLER DRIVERS. SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THE INTERNET WITH NISSAN VEHICLES. I'VE HAD OTHER VEHICLES RECALLED DUE TO SAFETY RELATED ISSUES THAT SEEM TO BE FAR LESS OF A LIKELY PROBLEM THAN THIS ONE. THEY LIKELY DON'T GET REPLACED BECAUSE OF THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

I PARKED THE MURANO IN THE GARAGE AND CLOSED THE GARAGE DOOR THEN WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE. ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER I HEARD A MUFFLED BOOM SOUND. I THOUGHT THE WIND WAS BLOWING FURNITURE AROUND ON MY DECK. I WENT TO CHECK THE GARAGE AND NOTICED TEMPERED GLASS ON THE FLOOR. I LOOKED AT THE LIFT GATE DOOR AND NOTICED THE ENTIRE GLASS WINDOW HAD SHATTERED INWARD. MOST OF THE GLASS WAS INSIDE THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED BUT IT WAS RAINING THAT DAY AND THE TEMPERATURE HAD FALLEN. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THE SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT APPROXIMATELY FOUR DAYS AGO. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD IS COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED AND DUE TO THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED NATURE OF THE SUN VISOR DROPPING DOWN THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENS. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME. THE METAL ULTIMATELY BREAKS DUE TO STRESS LEAVING THE SEAT ON A TILT . IT ALSO CAUSES THE BACK PORTION OF THE SEAT TO NOT BE STABLE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND NUMEROUS SITES ON THE INTERNET OUTLINING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD SENT OUT. THE DEALER THAT I TOOK MY CAR TO FOR REPAIR WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN CORRECTED IN NEW MODELS BUT NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED DUE TO EXPENSE TO NISSAN. THEY DID SUGGEST A NEW SEAT FRAME FOR $1600.

WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK ON THE INTERSTATE I HEARD A POP AND THE DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSED TOWARD THE DRIVER DOOR. AFTER ALMOST COLLIDING WITH A VEHICLE IN THE ADJACENT LANE I CAME TO A SAFE STOP ON THE SHOULDER AND INVESTIGATED THE DRIVER SEAT. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SEAT 4-5 INCHES FORM THE LEFT REAR TOWARD THE RIGHT FRONT QUADRANT. I LOWERED THE SEAT WHICH TOOK SOME OF THE PLAY OUT OF THE SEAT AND FINISHED THE DRIVE HOME. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE METAL SEAT FRAME HAD BROKEN LOOSE AT TWO BRACKETS. I'M STILL RESEARCHING SAFE ALTERNATIVES TO FIX THE SEAT FRAME. THE NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD A TSB ON THE SEAT AND THE REPLACEMENT FRAME HAD THE SAME FATIGUE ISSUES. THIS KNOWN DEFICIENCY BY NISSAN IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO KEEP ITS 'UP POSITION' OR IN A SELECTED POSITION TO SHADE THE DRIVER FROM THE SUN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT LEFT UNCORRECTED COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THE VISOR EVEN THOUGH MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT IS MOVING LEFT WHEN TURNING LEFT, AND WHEN MOVING THE SEAT FORWARD, ONLY THE LEFT SIDE IS MOVING CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT LEFT. WHEN CHECK AT THE DEALER SHOP, IT APPEAR THE LINK IS BROKEN AND THE RIGHT SIDE MOTOR IS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER ADMIT THAT THE PROBLEM OCCUR IN MANY MURANO 2003-2005,BUT SAD THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED . PLEASE INVESTIGATE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE NISSAN MURANO 2003-2004. IT DID HAPPEN IN MANY OF THEM. *TR

STEERING
MURANO BEGAN LEAKING FROM THE POWER STEERING HOSE. FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A 18-WHEELER. IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. MADE A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE. COMPLAINED TO NISSAN. THEY INITIALLY PROMISED TO REPAIR THE HOSE BUT THEN BACKED DOWN AND (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS) OFFERED TO SELL ME A NEW NISSAN AT DEALER COST. I'M THE 2ND OWNER AND THE CAR WAS INITIALLY PURCHASED IN 2006. THIS IS A DEADLY PROBLEM AND A FACTORY DEFECT. NISSAN HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE IT AND MOST PROBABLY FINDS IT LESS EXPENSIVE TO LITIGATE ANY DEATHS AS A RESULT OF THE POWER STEERING HOSE FAILURE RATHER THAN RECALL THE MURANO. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK TODAY I WAS DOING 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE DRIVERS SEAT SUDDENLY FELL TO THE LEFT. HAD THE 3RD LANE NOT BEEN CLEAR THERE WOULD'VE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO ME PULLING LEFT ON THE STEERING WHEEL AS I FELL BACK. I SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MURANOS. I GUESS IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE DEATH OF A FEW INNOCENT PEOPLE BEFORE THIS WILL BE RESOLVED. *TR

ALL FOUR POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE BAD IN THE CAR. THIS IS PREVENTING THE DOORS FROM PROPERLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE CAR. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON 2004 MURANOS. *TR
