ON MY 2004 MURANO DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, QUITE OFTEN. IN TRAFFIC, IT'S DANGEROUS. DEALER SAYS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM, CAN FIX FOR $400. I SAY IT IS A SAFETY ITEM, MANUFACTURER MUST FIX. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS. TEMPORARY (BUT UNSATISFACTORY) FIX IS WITH VELCRO. *TR

THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS. IT JUST SNAPPED .DRIVERS FRONT SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN ON LEFT SIDE. WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT REPLACE THE PART WHICH COSTS OVER $700.00 FOR PARTS PLUS LABOR. AFTER CHECKING THE NISSAN USA BLOG, IT SEEMS THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND DEFECT THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR AND A LOT OF NISSAN MURANO OWNERS HAVE HAD IT AS WELL. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SEAT ROCKING AND SLIDING. IT SEEMS THAT THESE SEATS WERE NOT MADE RIGHT OR HAVE HAD POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BEING THE FACT THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THE DRIVER COULD FLY OUT THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE TO PROPERLY FIX THIS PROBLEM.....THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH................ *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1. THERE WERE NO CLEAR INDICATIONS OF THE EVENT OR NO WARNINGS OR INDICATOR LIGHTS. 2. THE 2003 NISSAN MURANO WITH 84K MILES LOSES ALL POWER AND ACCELERATION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. I FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY IN MAKING A LEFT TURN AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND THEN TURNED IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC THAT WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO MAKE THE TURN. HOWEVER SINCE THE CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE AT NO RECORDABLE VELOCITY I WAS A SITTING DUCK FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. 3. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND COULDN'T FIX IT. THEY THEN TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 1800$ PLUS LABOR. THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND THEY CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THIS PART WITHOUT ME SIGNING A WAIVER WASHING THERE HANDS IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR AGAIN. BASICALLY NOT WARRANTING THEIR WORK OR THE PART. THEY ALSO COULD NOT GUARANTEE THE NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD HAPPEN TO GO OUT AGAIN AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES. SO AT THE DEALER THE CAR SITS. 4. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AND PUT MYSELF, MY FAMILY OR OTHER MOTORISTS AT RISK. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE ARE ALOT OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. *TR

WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION, THE REAR SEAT BRACKET SNAPPED, LEAVING THE SEAT SAGGING AND FLOPPING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. SERVICE ADVISOR SEEMED TO MINIMIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE DAMAGE. CLAIM HE WAS NOT AWARE OF SIMILAR INCIDENCES. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED A PATTERN OF THIS ISSUE WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS AGREED TO PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR, BUT CLAIMS THE DAMAGE IS OUTSIDE WARRANTY. CAR SEATS SHOULD NOT BREAK UNDER NORMAL USE, AND NISSAN NEEDS TO FORMALIZE A RECALL. THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION # PE05050. *TR

REGULAR DRIVING, 2004 NISSAN MURANO SE, NOTICED ONE DAY THE DRIVERS SEAT STARTED MAKING A CREAKING NOISE. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TILL ONE DAY WHILE CLEANING THE INTERIOR, I PUSHED AGAINST THE SEAT AND IT MOVED BACK AND DOWN TOWARDS THE DRIVERS REAR LEFT. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON MURANO.ORG, AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A BROKEN SEAT FRAME. I ALSO HAD MOSSY NISSAN CHECK IT OUT AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME IT WAS A BROKEN SEAT FRAME. DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR, AND THE LIKELY HOOD OF IT RECURRING, I DID NOT FIX THE SEAT THROUGH NISSAN. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2005 NISSAN MURANO. I FEEL IN THE LOVE WITH THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT. THE FRAME HAS BROKEN AND IS NOW LEANING TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I CAN ACTUALLY ROCK THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. UNFORTUNATELY, FOR OTHERS, I HAVE READ ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2005 MURANOS FROM OTHER OWNERS. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN OR BY RECALL SINCE IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE CAR. PLEASE REVIEW THIS COMPLAINT ALONG WITH THE MANY OTHERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO: I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT. IT ADJUSTS ITSELF RANDOMLY & MAKES CLICKING NOISES, WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT MAINLY SLIDES BACK TO THE FARTHEST POSITION, SO IT IS VERY HARD TO TOUCH THE BRAKE & ACCELERATOR PEDALS. THIS HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY OCCURRING FOR APPROX 7 DAYS. AS OF TODAY, THE BACK OF THE SEAT IS NOW RANDOMLY MOVING FORWARD WHILE I AM DRIVING, SO THAT IT IS IN EFFECT FOLDING ME IN HALF! THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS WAY TO DRIVE.. PREVIOUS TO THE SEAT RANDOMLY MOVING ON A REGULAR BASIS (SINCE THE PAST WEEK), THE SEAT FELT LIKE IT WAS TILTED SLIGHTLY TO ONE SIDE. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SEAT SOMETIMES WOULD SLIP OUT OF POSITION INTO ANOTHER POSITION. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 2 OR SO WEEKS BEFORE THE CLICKING NOISES & RANDOM REPOSITIONING STARTED HAPPENING. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO CHECK INTO THIS SEAT FAILURE AS I FEEL THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE SEAT MOVES BACK RANDOMLY WHEN I'M DRIVING & FOR A SHORTER PERSON THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS THEY MAY NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO TOUCH THE PEDALS IN ORDER TO PULL OVER. DOES THIS WARRANT A SAFETY RECALL?? *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN IN THE BACK LEFT SIDE. THE DEALER INSPECTED IT AND SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE IT ISN'T RECALLED AND I AM OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON LINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS QUOTED $1000 TO REPAIR. THAT SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS TO PAY WHEN IT IS A DEFECT IN THE PART THE USED. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN MURANO WITH 70K MILES. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BEGUN TO ROCK SIDE TO SIDE AND EVEN ROLLS FORWARD AND BACK (ON IT'S OWN) SLIGHTLY WHEN I STOP AND START. THIS IS QUOTED AS ABOUT $1200 TO FIX. SEEING THE LIST OF ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND GETTING NO HELP FROM NISSAN, I FEEL A RECALL NEEDS TO ORDERED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN MURANO DOWN A BUSY STREET WITH NO SHOULDER AND I HAD A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HIT BY ANY CARS. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. TOTAL COST: OVER $6000.00 I DO NOT HAVE $6000.00 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE BAND IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AND CAN NOT BE REPLACED. I HAVE ONLY 85,000 MILES ON THE MURANO. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT ON '03 AND '04 MURANOS AND NISSAN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AND WILL NOT WORK WITH ME TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
