MY MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE OFF THE LOWER LEFT METAL PART, THE SEAT NOW IS NOT WELDED TOGETHER PROPERLY AND ITS NOW UNATTACHED AND MOVES AROUND AS I DRIVE. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER VEHICLES ONLY NISSAN. THEY REALLY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO BE FIXED! I JUST HAPPEN TO GET IN THE VEHICLE AND OUT OF NO WHERE WHEN I SAT DOWN I JUST FELT THE SEAT CRACK AND LOWER TO ONE SIDE. I AM 140LBS. NOT VERY BIG AND PETITE, SO THIS IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD BREAK LIKE THIS.

THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SEAT FRAME HAS DETACHED FROM THE CAR FLOOR MOUNT AS OF APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS AGO; SINCE THEN, THE SEVERITY OF THE DETACHMENT HAS INCREASED AND THE SEAT MOVES UP AND DOWN. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC AND NISSAN THAT WELDING THE SEAT FRAME TO THE FLOOR FRAME WILL ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE. NISSAN STATES A NEW FRAME IS REQUIRED ($1,200 + LABOR). NOT HAVING MY SEAT CORRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE CAR PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN AUTO ACCIDENT. THE FRAME HAS DETACHED BASED ON NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR; THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL USE, IN FACT THE CAR ONLY HAS 110,409 MILES. NISSAN STATES THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ($1,200 + LABOR) TO REMEDY GIVEN THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD (IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING, I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 45 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I HAD TO TRY AND ROLL TO A SAFE PLACE AS I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A FEW MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. AGAIN, I ROLLED SOMEWHERE SAFE TO PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AGAIN, HOWEVER I WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND ALL LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ALTERNATOR WIRES HAD FAILED AND THE BATTERY WAS UNABLE TO BE CHARGED.

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SEAT DROPPED DOWN. UPON CHECKING WITH A MECHANIC HE STATED THAT THE SUPPORT SYSTEM BROKE. THIS CAUSED THE SEAT TO DROP ON ONE SIDE. FROM HIS INSPECTION IT APPEARS THAT THE METAL USED WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT NORMAL USE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT UNTIL IT SUDDENLY BROKE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS APPARENTLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 MURANO SL AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE WARNED OWNERS OF THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE THE BASE OF THE SEAT, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE SEATS. I CAN PURCHASE A SEAT FOR 1800.00 PLUS THE COST OF INSTALLATION. NISSAN HAS REDESIGNED THE SEATS TO MAKE THEM STRONGER.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORKING ONE EVENING IN MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO AT 60 MPH. DURING THAT DRIVE I HEARD A NOISE AND THAT'S WHEN HALF OF THE SEAT FELL DOWN TOWARDS THE LEFT SIDE. I DROVE HOME ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHICH MADE MY DRIVE HOME A LITTLE PAINFUL WHEN I HIT A BUMP.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING, I LOSE ACCELERATION POWER WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. TTHE CAR STALLS AND WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR DOWN TO THE FLOOR, YET THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL MAINTAIN ITS POWER. WHEN THE CAR STALLS, I PRESS THE PEDDLE SERVAL TIMES AND THE RPMS DOESN'T ACCELERATE UP EXPECT WHEN I PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. WHEN I PLACE THE CAR IN PARK THE ACCELERATION POWER RESUMES, BUT ONCE IN DRIVE THERE'S NO POWER AGAIN. I EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM THE MOST WHEN MY AIR CONDITION OR HEATER IS RUNNING. WHEN I TURN OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER THE ACCELERATION POWER RESUMES, BUT SPOTTERS. STRANGE!!!

ENGINE
UPON STARTING COLD ENGINE A LOUD TAPPING OR RATTLING SOUND HEARD COMING FROM FRONT OF CAR. SOUND INCREASES WHEN ACCELERATING UNTIL REACHING 40 TO 45 MPH - THEN IT ALMOST DISAPPEARS. ONCE ENGINE IS WARM SOUND IS BARELY NOTICEABLE. IT ALSO TAKES A LOT OF STRENGTH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT, EX: WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE STREET, OR WHEN TURNING LEFT INTO A DRIVEWAY OR A PARKING SPACE. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. SLIGHT LEFT TURNS ARE NORMAL AS ARE ALL RIGHT TURNS. VEHICLE IS GOING INTO DEALER TUESDAY WHICH IS THEIR FIRST OPENING. I WILL UPDATE THIS ONCE IT IS DETERMINED WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM /PROBLEMS.

SEAT BROKE, WHY IS THIS THERE NO RECALL ON A SEAT BREAKING? IT'S THE DRIVER SEAT! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR SEAT IN YOU CAR JUST TO DROP TO ONE SIDE FOR NO REASON? NISSAN SHOULD NOT SKIMP ON SOMETHING THAT YOU SIT IN WHILE DRIVING!

I NOTICED WHILE TURNING A CORNER THAT MY SEAT COMPLETELY LIFTED UP ON ONE SIDE, I BROUGHT IT TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY WELDED AND THE WELD BROKE, THEY REWELDED IT AND NOW IT IS BROKEN AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE IT WAS WELDED. I FEAR THAT IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS CRASH I COULD POSSIBLY BE EJECTED FROM THE CAR, I AM NOT HAPPY THAT THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE BY NISSAN ABOUT THIS, THIS IS MY 3RD NISSAN AND THE FIRST WITH A SERIOUS PROBLEM I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO BUY A NEW CAR AND HAVE IT NOT BE A NISSAN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
