MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN. IT FLIPS DOWN ON ITS OWN ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FILING A COMPLAINT FORM. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM MY FIRST COMPLAINT FORM. I WAS ON THE HIGWAY AGAIN AND IT FELL MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THIS ISN'T JUST MY MURANO WITH THIS PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE, I HEARD A POP AND MY SEAT IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE LEFT AND ROCKED BACKWARD. MY FOOT MOVED AWAY FROM THE ACCELERATED AND THERE WAS SOME LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT CONTINUED TO ROCK AS I DROVE. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP, THE CAR LUNGED AND WITH GRAVITY MY SEAT ROCKED BACKWARD DECREASING THE PRESSURE OF MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. I HAVE TO HOLD MYSELF UP ON THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING TO KEEP THE SEAT SOMEWHAT STABLE. IF I HAVE TO MANUEVER A DEEP CURVE EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT IT IS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE WHILE BRACING MYSELF TO KEEP THE SEAT STILL. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SEAT ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE IN THE COMPLAINTS THAT A NISSAN MECHANIC ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND THEY EVEN ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC SAFETY.

LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE , I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. I HAD BOUGHT A 2006 MURANO WITH ONLY 28,000 MILES, ALONG WITH BEING THE SECOND OWNER ONLY AND NOT LONG AFTER I HAD IT, THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE!! THEY SAY IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ,YOUR SEAT IS LOOSE!!!!! AND WHAT IF YOU GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE OTHER HALF OF THE SEAT BREAKS AS WELL!!! HOW CAN THEY NOT RECALL THIS PRODUCT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE!!!!??? I LOVE MY CAR BUT VERY UNHAPPY WITH NISSAN THAT THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT !!!! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS FAULTY. THE FIRST TIME I PUT IT DOWN IT WAS VERY TIGHT. THE NEXT TIME I PUT IT DOWN IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING SNAPPED AND NOW THE VISOR HANGS EXTREMELY LOOSE. AS I AM DRIVING, IT CONTINUOUSLY FALLS BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. I KNOW THIS IS NOT DUE TO REGULAR USE AS I HAVE SEEM MANY COMPLAINTS IN DIFFERENT NISSAN FORUMS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE NEXT TOYOTA AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO CRASH AND DIE DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOU ARE NOT RECALLING? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SERVICE ENGINE SOON CAME UP, SO I WENT TO MY MECHANIC & TOLD ME THAT CODE "PO463" CAME UP & FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED & THAT COST AROUND $800. I CHECK ONLINE & NOTICE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL & TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE....THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

SEAT JUMPS OFF ITS TRACK FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE DRIVING. ON A CURVE OR THROUGH A PUMP ON THE ROAD CAUSES TEMPORARY DISRUPTION OF THE DRIVER'S FOCUS ON THE ROAD THEREBY LOOSING TEMPORARY CONTROL AND INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO FAILED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION DUE TO EMISSIONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND QUOTED FOR REPLACE THE TWO FAILING FUEL SENDING UNITS $99 TO INSPECT + $700 PART & LABOR. OF COURSE IS NOT COVERED BY NISSAN. HOW MANY OTHER BRANDS BESIDE NISSAN HAVE YOU SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM? I AM SIMPLY APPALLED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM NISSAN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEAT COLLAPSING, WHEEL BEARING GOING OUT, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, STEERING HOSES BRAKING CAUSING FIRE, IN VEHICLES WITH LOW MILEAGE I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THE FACT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND UP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS IS AN INSULT TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT. NISSAN OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE DESPITE THE CLEAR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE COMPONENTS. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE LAST TWO TIMES THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS FIXED. THE WHOLE PASSENGER SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED THE SECOND TIME. NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS FLASHING AGAIN. I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT A LOT OF DRIVERS ARE HAVING WITH THEIR MURANO'S AIR BAGS. I HAVE TRIED RESETTING BY TURNING THE CAR "ON" AND "OFF" SEVERAL TIME AND AS WELL AS REMOVING THE BATTERY. NOTHING HAS WORKED, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DEALER TO FIX IT AGAIN.

AS I WAS TURNING, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT COLLAPSED AND SEAT STARTED SHAKING AND WOBBLING TOWARD THE LEFT AND BACKWARD. I MANAGED TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. THE THIN BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT HAD BROKEN. THE SEAT IS MAKING IT HARD TO STEER SINCE IT CAN WOBBLE ANY TIME I MAKE A TURN. SEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART. IT COST APPROXIMATELY $467 TO REPLACE AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL. *TR
