I STARTED NOTICING THE DRIVER'S SEAT SEEMED LOOSE WHEN I WOULD SIT DOWN ON IT. IT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. IT SEEMS THAT THE REAR BRACKET IS BROKEN. IN RESEARCHING THIS PRIOR TO TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I JUST HOPE I'M NOT IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE I CAN GET THIS REPAIRED. I'D HATE TO SEE WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO ME IF I GET REAR ENDED. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY WHEN DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR YEARS NOT SURE WHY IT IS NOT A RECALL YET. I KNOW 2 OTHER PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY WHO THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO. I'M HAPPY NOTHING HAPPEN TO WIFE OR SON. GO TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE $800 TO $1500 TO FIX I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL NOT SURE IF THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE TO MAKE IT A RECALL. INFO ON THIS MATTER IS ALL OVER THE WEB IF YOU OWN A NISSAN MURANO 2003 TO 2007 THIS WILL HAPPEN IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. THIS SEAT FRAME WAS POORLY ENGINEERED AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO THERE WAS A BIG SNAPPING SOUND AND THE SEAT SLUMPED TO THE REAR LEFT. WHEN I MAKE LEFT TURNS THE SEAT SWINGS UP. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STAY SEATED IN THE PROPER POSITION TO CORRECTLY HANDLE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO BE REPAIRED YET BUT IT IS APPARENT SOMETHING BROKE ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE CHAIR FRAME. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN FROM OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE NISSAN HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. IT CERTAINLY HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY INCIDENT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL WHEN IT SNAPPED. THIS VEHICLE IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT A NISSAN BUT THE LACK OF CUSTOMER CARE FOR SUCH A CHRONIC PROBLEM SAYS A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE COMPANY. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT IT WILL DROP DOWN, AND IT TAKES THE DRIVERS ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD IN ORDER TO GET THE VISOR OUT OF YOUR FIELD OF VIEW. SEEM VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS NO CRASH, BUT WAS VERY VERY CLOSE TO ONE. SCARY! *TR

ENGINE
I HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AFTER IT FAILED. IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK, THE CAR BEGAN TO SPEW SMOKE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA. TOOK IT BACK TO SOUTH SIDE NISSAN IN VANCOUVER, BC WHO REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS (WHERE THE AXLE MEETS THE TRANSMISSION CASE). ANOTHER WEEK PASSES AND THE SAME PROBLEM REPEATS, CAR SMOKING HEAVILY FROM TRANSMISSION AREA. TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN WHO IS NOW STATING THAT THE SEALS INSIDE THE TRANSFER CASE HAVE FAILED AND THE WORK IS NOT WARRANTIED. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS NISSAN'S WAY TO SIDE STEP HAVING TO DO THE REPAIR A 3RD TIME AND AM IN DISBELIEF THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT DUE TO THEIR WORK. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HIT A SHARP OBJECT. THAT SHARP OBJECT PUNCTURED MY GAS TANK AND THE TANK BEGAN TO LEAK. I CALLED NISSAN USA REGARDING RECALL NUMBER 35779. NISSAN SAID THAT THE TANK HAD BEEN REPLACED. HOWEVER, SEARS TOLD ME THAT THE MURANO WAS STILL USING A NISSAN TANK AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING ON A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRACKET HOLDING THE DRIVERS SEAT IN PLACE BROKE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. IT REQUIRED ME TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL TO STAY STRAIGHT UP TO DRIVE. I COULD FEEL ONLY ONE SIDE WAS BROKEN AND WAS CONCERNED THAT THE OTHER SIDE MIGHT BREAK. I CONTACTED NISSAN REPAIR AND THEY SAID YES THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY ON MURANOS AND STATED THE REPAIR WOULD RUN AROUND $2000. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, THEY TOO STATED THEY WERE AWARE THIS HAPPENS WITH THE MURANO AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT FIXED FOR $500. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND NOT TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY OR LONG DISTANCE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ON A RE-CALL. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS
