2003 NISSAN MURANO HAS A LOUD "WREEEE" SOUND UPON CRANKING IT UP; HOWEVER WITHIN ABOUT 10 MIN. OF DRIVING IT QUIETS DOWN. WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND YOU BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE CAR HAS A 3-5 SEC STALL AND THEN LEAPS FORWARD. WHEN I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION MY CAR DID THIS AND THREW ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER CAR SWERVED IN TIME TO MISS ME, BUT IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL. *TR

NORMAL EVERYDAY USAGE OF MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT. ONE DAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BROKE. THE SEAT IS NOW UNSAFE AND ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BROKEN SEAT FRAME AND COST $1056 TO REPAIR. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE THE SEAT IS UNSAFE. *TR

TURNED A CORNER AT NORMAL SPEED AND WAS ALMOST TOSSED OUT OF THE SEAT. THE SEAT LIFTED IN THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. NOT A PLEASANT OR SAFE FEELING TO HAVE YOUR SEAT FEEL LIKE IT IS FLYING OFF OF THE FLOOR. A CAR SEAT SHOULD REMAIN FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. EVEN IF THE SEAT ITSELF DOESN'T CAUSE ACCIDENTS FOR PEOPLE - THE FEELING YOU GET OF LOSING CONTROL COULD EASILY CAUSE A DRIVER TO STEER INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS SHOCKED TO READ ONLINE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE GENERAL LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT IT FROM NISSAN. THIS IS A DRIVER SAFETY ISSUE AND VERY ALARMING TO HAVE HAPPEN TO YOU WHILE TURNING ONTO A BUSY ROAD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO S AWD (BOUGHT NEW IN JANUARY 2006) WHEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT SNAPPED TO THE REAR LEFT NEARING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE BECOME A MEMBER OF A LARGE GROUP THAT CAN EXPECT THE SEAT FRAME TO BREAK EVERY 2 TO 3 YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, BUT NOT AT MY EXPENSE OR LIFE. THIS SHOULD BE VIEWED AS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER FIX IS OVER $1000 SINCE THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MURANO SE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IS A DRIVING HAZARD AS IT KEEPS FALLING IN MY FACE IF I HIT A BUMP OR BRAKE. NISSAN QUOTED ME $400 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I CAN'T AFFORD IT. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE YEARS 2004 AND UP. I TRIED VELCRO AND GLUE WITH NO SUCCESS. NOW WITH A TEENAGE DRIVER, I'M VERY CONCERNED FOR HER WHEN SHE DRIVES MY CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SEATS
LIFTER LINK ASSEMBLY BROKE ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICING AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE SEAT WAS BROKEN. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT BECAUSE IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. STILL HAD TO PAY THE $50.00 DEDUCTIBLE, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 MURANO AND WHILE DRIVING MY SEAT DROPPED AND SLAMMED OVER TO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THIS COMPLETELY CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AND CAUSED ME TO PULL INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE. THERE WERE NO CARS ON THE ROAD WITH ME AT THE TIME SO NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED. NOW MY SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT AND CONSTANTLY MOVES AS I TURN OR COME TO A STOP IT WOBBLES. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE LET ME KNOW THIS IS NOT A RECALL. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND NOT ONLY ON THIS WEBSITE BUT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT REPORT THIS EXACT PROBLEM. IF I GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE AWAITING FOR THE RECALL TO ACTUALLY GO IN TO AFFECT IT IS VERY POSSIBLE BEING MY SEAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO MY VEHICLE THAT I WILL BECOME PROJECTILE OR THE FORCE OF MY SEAT TO MY SEATBELT IS GOING TO CAUSE BROKEN COLLAR BONES AND FACIAL BONES. THIS IS A FLAW IN THE VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS ONE. *TR
