LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2005 MURANO DO NOT ALWAYS UNLOCK WHEN I PUSH THE UNLOCK BUTTON. IF THIS HAPPENS AFTER AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS AND ESCAPE AS THE DOORS WON'T OPEN WHEN LOCKED. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE JANUARY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATES WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE PRESSURE SENSOR INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 67,000.

THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO SUDDENLY COLLAPSED AS THE FRAME BROKE. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME SO THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOT A LARGE PERSON AND ONLY WEIGH ABOUT 195 POUNDS. FROM WHAT I GATHER THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE MURANO AND AN IMPORTANT SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO A POORLY DESIGNED FRAME. BESIDES THE FACT THAT THIS IS AN $800 TO $1100 REPAIR BILL, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. SO FAR NISSAN HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE NHTSA CALL FOR A MANDATORY RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

1. MY WIFE NOTICED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING HER NISSAN MURANO (2005) TODAY, THAT THE SEAT STARTED TO FEEL LOOSE AND LEAN BACK TO THE LEFT. SHE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND PUSHED ON THE SEAT AND NOTED A SIGNIFICANT DROP ON PUTTING PRESSURE DOWN ON THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE OF THE SEAT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE SEAT HAS BEEN UNSTABLE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE SEAT TONIGHT THE BAR CONNECTING THE SEAT TO THE UNDERLYING STRUCTURE HAD BROKEN. THIS OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ON THE BACK BAR. THE METAL HAD WORN AND THERE WERE SHARP EDGES ON BOTH SIDES. THERE HAD BEEN NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE OR ABNORMALITY WITH THE SEAT PRIOR TO TODAY (4-23-2009). *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO LEFT REAR ANCHOR OF DRIVERS SEAT FAILED CAUSING SEAT TO MOVE ABOUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS ONLY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN AND DOES NOT COVER THIS UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY. THE CHARGE TO REPAIR THIS SEAT IS CLOSE TO $1000. I AM WORRIED THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE SEAT FAILURE COULD CAUSE MAJOR INJURY TO A DRIVER OF MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FAILED AND WOULD NO LONGER REMAIN BALANCED. WHEN HE MADE RIGHT TURNS IN THE VEHICLE, THE SEAT WOULD LEAN TO THE LEFT AND VICE VERSA. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE BACK LEFT CORNER WOULD DROP TO THE LEFT AND GIVE OUT UPON SITTING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXCEEDED BY 2,000 MILES. THE CONTACT WEIGHS 180 POUNDS AND STATED THAT SOMETHING IN THE SEAT STRUCTURE WAS FLAWED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD COST OVER $1,200. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 38,000.

LEFT REAR DRIVERS SEAT OF MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO SE AWD BROKE. HEARD A LOAD "SNAP," THEN THE SEAT DROPPED TO THE LEFT REAR. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS AND CANNOT BE PROPERLY POSITIONED. THE CAR HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT, IS IN TERRIFIC CONDITION, AND I LITERALLY BOUGHT OUT MY LEASE 48 HOURS AGO! I UNDERSTAND THAT NISSAN WILL NOT MAKE THESE REPAIRS SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I AM ALSO LEARNING THAT THIS IS A REPEATED PROBLEM PLAGUING 2005 AND 2006 MURANOS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL. *TR

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS FLASHING IN THE DASH AGAIN. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONCE BEFORE WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE NORTH LITTLE ROCK DEALERSHIP. ON LEAVING THE GARAGE WITHIN JUST A MILE, I MADE A LEFT TURN AND HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT CAME BACK ON. I WENT STRAIT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BUT THE (SECOND REPLACEMENT PART) WOULDN'T BE IN TILL THE NEXT DAY SO I WAS GIVEN A LOANER FOR ONE DAY. NOW IT'S BACK ON AGAIN. ALSO NOTED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THAT THE LUMBAR SUPPORT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NO LONGER INFLATES/DEFLATES AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS FIXED AND HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT 37,000 MILES AT MY COST. ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP RESURFACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND REPLACE A REAR CALIPER UNDER WARRANTY THAT HAD LOCKED UP 1 & 1/2 YEARS AGO. I SEE THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE IN NEED OF RESURFACING AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE BREAK PADS HAVE 1/2 OF THERE WEAR LEFT TO GO. DUE TO THE HIGHLY CHROMED /CURVED DIPSTICK, GETTING AN ACCURATE OIL LEVEL READING IS NOT POSSIBLE AT ANY TIME, SO THE DIPSTICK HAS ONLY BEEN REMOVED THREE TIME SINCE PURCHASING IT AS IT IS A POINTLESS ENDEAVOR. I OWN SIX AUTOS THAT RANGE IN AGE FROM 1972 THREW THIS 2005 MURANO AND OF ALL OF THEM, THE MURANO IS THE LEAST TRUSTED ONE. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 MURANO WHICH JUST PASSED 35K IN MILEAGE, I ALSO HAVE THE GOLD-PREFERRED WARRANTY. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE SUNVISOR SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. IT NO LONGER STAYS IN THE "UP" POSITION. IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE VISOR IS DROPPING DOWN AND CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE HEARD THAT ALMOST EVERY THIRD NISSAN MURANO OF MY YEAR HAS THIS PROBLEM. I THINK IT IS CLEARLY A MECHANICAL FAILURE. THANKS IN ADVANCE. *TR

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT NO LONGER OPERATES WITH THE POWERED SEAT ADJUSTMENTS, AND IS STUCK IN ONE POSITION. AT FIRST, IT WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT, BUT NOW IS STUCK IN ONE POSITION THAT IS NOT THE BEST POSITION FOR ME, CAUSING ME CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY ON THE ROAD. WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE COST WOULD BE @ $1000. AS I RESEARCHED ON-LINE, I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERY SAME THING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. *TR
