1. DESIGN FLAW 2. DEFECTIVE TRANSFER CASE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS OCCURRED IN A TWO YEAR PERIOD. 3. THE FIRST TWO TIMES, NISSAN REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO TELL ME WHAT THEY WILL DO AS NISSAN CONTENDS THIS IS PART IS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION 120000 MILE WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE PART HOOKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PART TRANSFERS POWER FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE COMPONENTS. THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 MURANO.

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP ON DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN IT DROPS IT BLOCKS MY VISION. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU RAISE IT UP IT FALLS DOWN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND YOU MUST USE ONE HAND TO HOLD IT UP. I DON'T HAVE 400 TO REPLACE IT AND THE DEALER WILL NOT EVEN GIVE A DISCOUNT. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR CONSTANTLY FAILS BY FALLING FROM THE UP POSITION WHILE DRIVING. DEALER'S REMEDY IS TO REPLACE, SINCE THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE VISOR FALLS DOWN IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MURANO. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INDICATED THAT THE TIRES BECAME FLAT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT 36 DEGREES OR BELOW. THE LOWER THE TEMPERATURE, THE MORE THE SYSTEM WOULD INDICATE THAT THE PRESSURE WAS LOW ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED HER ADD AIR TO THE TIRE UNTIL IT REACHED 38 PSI. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINEERS HAD NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AND TO OVER INFLATE THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,600. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000.

DRIVERS SEAT TILTS ON TURNS, WORSE ON LEFT TURNS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BROKEN SEAT TRACK. I ASKED THEM TO REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THE AREA MANAGER REFUSED TO FIX. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS AND IT IS BEYOND DANGEROUS. THE LEFT FRONT OF THE SEAT BARELY HANGS ON AS THE BOLTS ARE BROKEN IN THE BACK. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I AM COMPLAINING AS I FEEL IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. *TR

2004 NISSAN MURANO SL. SUN VISOR FALL DOWN AND WON'T STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION. WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL "FALL" BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW. THE VISOR EITHER NEEDS TO BE HELD IN THE UP POSITION, OR TURNED TO THE SIDE TO KEEP FROM BLOCKING VIEW FORWARD, BUT WITH VISOR TURNED TO THE SIDE IT BLOCKS THE SIDE VIEW. THIS HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AS OF YET DUE TO A NEW VISOR COSTING OVER 320.00. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SEEN ON SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND UNSAFE PROBLEM. *TR

NISSAN MURANO 2004: DRIVER VISOR NO LONGER STAYS IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND CAN FALL RANDOMLY DURING DRIVING. THERE ARE DOZENS OF SIMILAR REPORTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS. I REPORTED THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND NATIONAL NISSAN AND THEY FAIL TO CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE - THEY WANT ME TO PAY $300 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. THE VISOR IS VERY LARGE, AND WHEN THE VISOR DROPS STRAIGHT DOWN, IT CAN COMPLETELY OBSCURE VISION OUT THE WINDSHIELD. I AM AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO WITH ELECTRIC DRIVER SEAT. THE LEFT REAR BRACKET HOLDING THE SEAT TO THE RAIL HAS BROKEN, THUS RESULTING IN THE SEAT BECOMING DETACHED AND SEVERELY LEANING TO THE LEFT REAR. I ASSUMED THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT UNTIL I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND HAVE DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM COULD PROVE TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR HARD BRAKE. TO SAY THE LEAST, IT COULD PROVE TO CAUSE BACK INJURY OR PAIN. *TR

2004 NISSAN MURANO, NORMAL USAGE OF THE DRIVER SEAT, NOTICED SEAT ROCKING 9 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT "CERTIFIED USED", TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER, WAS TOLD IT WAS A BROKEN SEAT BRACKET, COST TO REPAIR $948 + TAX. THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS IS ENDLESS! THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW, A SEAT SHOULD NEVER BREAK LIKE THIS UNDER NORMAL WEAR, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NISSAN AFTER SO MANY DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS. *TR
