STEERING
THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY BASICALLY BLEW OUT OF THIS LOVINGLY USED NISSAN MURANO. THIS CAUSED A POWER STEERING "WHINE" WHEN TURNING AND MADE TURNING DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE. FURTHER DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE BLOW OUT VICE SLOW BREAK IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED THE AMOUNT OF POWER STEERING FLUID AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM. NATURALLY, AS THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY, NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER COST NOR CONSIDER A REDUCTION IN REPAIR/REPLACEMENT FEES. THIS IS A BIG-TIME HISTORICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND YEAR OF THIS NISSAN. LOCAL DEALERSHIPS SAY THAT THEY REPLACE ABOUT TWO OF THESE PER WEEK ON AVERAGE, AND THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SIMILAR STORIES OF REPAIRS COSTING IN EXCESS OF $600. THIS REPAIR COST ME A TOTAL OF $650 DOLLARS AND A REAL LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THE NISSAN PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND I HEARD A CRACK NOISE AND THE DRIVER SEAT JUST FELL BACK AND LEAN BACK TO THE LEFT. THE SEATING JUST FREELY FALLS BACK. I PULLED OVER AND LOOK UNDERNEATH AND SAW THAT THERE IS THIS LITTLE BAR, SLIMMER THAN MY PINKY FINGER, WHICH WAS SUPPORT THE SEAT BROKE. WHEN I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED, I WAS SHOCKED TO WHAT I SAW, A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.THIS EXPERIENCE WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. TO KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY BAR SUPPORTING THE SEAT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT, I AM REALLY SHOCKED AND REALLY HOPE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE FOR NISSAN TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR SOME PEOPLE. *TR

VISIBILITY
WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MILES PER HOURS THE SUN DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY LOWERED FROM THE "UP" POSITION, COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY THEN THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION AT ALL. I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR IN ORDER TO SEE, BUT I AM THEN BLINDED BY THE SUN AT TIMES CREATING AN EQUALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE VISOR, JUST A FORCED REPLACEMENT AT $300.00. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE BEEN READING, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT GAS IN MY MURANO I'M UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN BY THE NOZZLE. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET A FULL TANK OF GAS IS TO KEEP CLICKING CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL IT'S FULL. HOWEVER, NOW I HAVE A LOT OF BACK SPLASH OF GAS AND TO ME THIS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHERS. NISSAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT OR DEATH. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURED PROBLEM THEN IT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY AND RESPECTIVELY. I WENT BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THE PROBLEM AND THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS GIVEN TO TRY DIFFERENT PUMPS, HOLD THE TRIGGER GENTLY, AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE IT WILL DO THIS MORE OFTEN. WHAT TYPE OF RESOLUTION IS THIS?????? *TR

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BEGAN SWINGING DOWN AND BLOCKING VISION INTERMITTENTLY DURING HIGH SPEED TRAVEL AND BUMPY CONDITIONS. THE VISOR HAS CONTINUED TO DEGRADE AND SWINGS DOWN UNDER ALMOST ANY MOVEMENT. I HAD A QUOTE FROM A MECHANIC TO REPLACE THIS ITEM, BUT THE COST SEEMS EXCESSIVE. THE VISOR IS CURRENTLY HELD IN PLACE WITH DUCT TAPE/ VELCRO, BUT THE HOME FIX IS NOT EFFECTIVE OR LONG LASTING. *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY; LOOKED OVER LEFT SHOULDER TO CHANGE LANES AND HEARD LOUD POP. SEAT FELL BACK AND TO THE LEFT UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS DID CAUSE ME TO GO INTO ANOTHER LANE - THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE THERE AT THAT TIME. FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE THE SEAT BOUNCED UP AND DOWN AND MOVED FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. NISSAN DOES SELL A "BRACKET" TO HELP REINFORCE THIS BUT IT IS OVER $1000.00 OR YOU CAN BUY THE SEAT BRAND NEW FOR $2-3,000. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE HEAT/ELECTRIC TO THE SEAT. THESE PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE LABOR EITHER. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME EVERY DAY AND I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT END IN AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS THAT EVENTUALLY IT MAY END THAT WAY FOR SOMEONE THOUGH. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL? DOES SOMEONE TRULY NEED TO LOOSE THEIR LIFE IN ORDER FOR A RECALL TO HAPPEN? WHEN YOU SPEND THIS MUCH ON A LUXURY VEHICLE YOU EXPECT IT TO STAND UP AND THE MAKER BEHIND IT TO STAND BEHIND IT!!! I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AT THIS TIME WITH HOW NISSAN IS HANDLING THIS. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE DROP; MOSTLY OCCURS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, IF THE ROAD IS A LITTLE BUMPY IT FALLS DOWN A LOT! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURS SO OFTEN AND I LIVE IN A BIGGER CITY AND DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM OF TRAFFIC ON A REGULAR BASIS, IT CAUSES MY LINE OF SIGHT TO BE EXTREMELY OBSTRUCTED AS I AM A TALLER PERSON AND ALREADY HAVE MY SEAT DOWN AS LOW AS POSSIBLE AND CANNOT SEE ANYTHING WHEN THE VISOR DROPS. *TR
