2006 Nissan Murano Complaint Log

2006 NISSAN MURANO HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE/HOSE - MAJOR LEAK, NISSAN DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE, DUE TO POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING POWER, BUT THE PART IS BACK ORDERED, NOT AVAILABLE FOR 3 WEEKS TO 2 MONTHS. SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER ISSUE, YET NO RECALL. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT JAMMED IN ONE POSITION AND WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WELD ON THE FRAME BROKE AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT WARRANT WELDING IT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRAME, WHICH INCLUDED ALL MOTORS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND THE COST WOULD BE $1,400. I THOUGHT THE COST WAS ASTRONOMICAL FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT NOW OBVIOUSLY MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SEAT MAY BREAK AWAY FROM THE FRAME COMPLETELY AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AFTER MY WIFE AND I WENT ONLINE AND VIEWED SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY DEFAULT!

2006 NISSAN MURANO - DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT FLOPS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THE CLIP IS FINE - IT STAYS IN THE CLIP. HOWEVER, IT DOES FALL DOWN OVER THE ROD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO SEL. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THE DRIVERS SEAT METAL TRACK FAILED AND THE SEAT BECAME UNSTABLE. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT TRACK WHICH HAD PART NUMBER 87450CA09A. REPORT 6917856 WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 41,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO MY SEAT (DRIVERS SEAT) SUDDENLY SLOPED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. PULLING OVER I DISCOVERED THAT THE BOTTOM LEFT REAR CORNER OF MAIN SEAT BRACKET BROKE OFF IN TWO PLACES. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BY HAVING A BODY SHOP WELD THE PIECES TOGETHER WITH ADDITIONAL SUPPORT METAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FRACTURED AND CONSISTENTLY FELL DOWN, OBSCURING THE DRIVERS VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE VISOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SUN VISOR WOULD FALL DOWN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE THE VISOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILS TO STAY IN THE UP(RETRACTED) POSITION EFFECTIVELY RESTRICTING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER WHEN IT FALLS INTO THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THIS WILL OCCUR SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AND IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

SUNVISOR DROOPING THAN FALLS IN LINE OF VISION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE GEARS FAILED TO SHIFT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS APPLIED. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON HE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE LEFT REAR SEAT HINGE BROKE IN TWO PIECES. NO EXTREME WEAR OR TEAR DONE TO THIS SEAT, AND THE METAL BROKE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PROBLEM ARE OBVIOUS, IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT OR SIMPLY NORMAL DRIVING, THE SAFETY OF THE SEAT IS COMPROMISED. NISSAN CHARGES AROUND $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. SEAT BRACKETS SHOULD NEVER FAIL, ESPECIALLY NOT IN THE NUMBERS BEING REPORTED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL IT NEAR THE DOOR AND LIFT IT UP. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE $580.00, AND THEY WOULD TAKE $250.00 OFF OF THE COST. WHEN SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ORIGINAL DIAGNOSIS WAS INCORRECT AND THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE OVER $900 AND THE PARTS WOULD NEED TO BE ORDERED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE OWNERS HOME. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 103,000.

WE ALSO HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, MY DAUGHTER ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT IN ORLANDO, FL WHERE IS SHE IS A STUDENT!!!. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS EXTREMELY STARTLING TO THE DRIVER WHEN IT DROPS DOWN AND IMPAIRS VISION. ALSO IT CAN DROP 2-3 TIMES WITHIN A 2 MILE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. IT WILL NOT STAY IN IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION. WE ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN HERE IN TAMPA, FL AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED "COSMETIC" AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTYAND ALSO CALLED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC THING, IT'S A TRUE DANGER! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FROM NISSAN TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING, SOMEONE GETTING KILLED!!! TO REPLACE THE STUPID SUN VISOR WOULD BE OVER $400.00, NISSAN SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE FOLKS A DISCOUNT WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL, IT WOULD BE GOODWILL AND MAKE A LOT OF HAPPY, SAFE CUSTOMERS! *TR

SUN VISORS ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO FALL DOWN WHEN I GO OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT OR DIPS. I PUSH THEM BACK IN PLACE, AND AS I AM DRIVING THEY START WORKING THEIR WAY TO THE DOWN POSITION. DEALER SAYS MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT. THIS IS DEFINITELY AS DEFECT IN PART WORKMANSHIP. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADMIT PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. *LN

REPLACE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A HIGHLY PROBLEM WILL ALL NISSAN MURANO I KNOW MORE THAN 6 PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT YEAR MURANO . NOT COVERED UNDER REGULAR WARRANTY *TT

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. COST TO REPLACE/FIX IS $400+. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SEAT HA BROKEN 2X NOW. LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT. CAN WE NOT GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

DRIVERS SEAT ON MY NISSAN MURANO HAS BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE FRAME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS LOOSE TILTS BACK AND TO THE LEFT WHEN I SIT IN IT. TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BROKEN "LIFT ASSEMBLY". THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $1200. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE, THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. MY MURANO HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ONLY HAS 52,888. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID SHE HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT?!?!?! SURE.... THERE ARE OVER 135 COMPLAINTS ON HERE, AND MANY OF THEM HAD NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR NISSAN TO STEP-UP AND TAKE ACTION FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING?!? RIDICULOUS! *TR

I HAVE 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND I WENT INTO MY CAR AND WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO WORK, I SAT IN MY CAR AND WHEN I PUT ON MY SEAT BELT I FELT THAT MY DRIVER SEAT SHIFT TO THE LEFT AND WAS VERY LOOSE AND CONSTANTLY MOVING AS I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT IS BROKEN AND THAT IT COST ABOUT $500 FOR THE PARTS ALONE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 MURANO AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOW FALLING DOWN WHILE DRIVING SO VISIBILITY IS MY COMPLAINT EITHER CHEWING GUM OR VELCRO WILL HOLD IT UP. OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WANTS $400.28 FOR A NEW VISOR.......! ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DRIVERS OF SUCH VEHICLES GET KILLED JUST BECAUSE OF A SUNVISOR.........THE LAWYERS ARE STARTING TO LINE UP WITH THEIR HANDS OUT..GET READY NISSAN!!!!!! *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR ON MY 2006 MURANO IS BROKEN AND FLIPS DOWN, WILL NOT STAY UP. DEFECTIVE PART! I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON MURANOS. *TR

FLOPPY SUN VISORS 2006 NISSAN MURANO. BOTH SUN VISORS WILL NO LONGER REMAIN IN PLACE. THEY IMPAIR/BLOCK SIGHT AND ARE VERY DISTRACTING. THIS MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS YOU HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING WITH THE VISORS TO MOVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE. MANY, MANY OTHER MURANO DRIVERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS/RECALL BEFORE MAJOR ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL SINCE YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING THE FLOPPY VISOR OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE. NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT WITH A VISOR CONSTANTLY IN YOUR WAY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. IT IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN MALFUNCTION. THIS PROBLEM IS JUST AS BAD AS PEOPLE DRIVING WHILE ON THEIR CELL PHONES. DANGEROUS. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT, FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY, FUEL LEVEL CIRCUIT SENSOR HIGH INPUT CAR WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS TESTING NISSAN USA DOES NOT RESPOND TO PHONE CALLS OR CALL BACK REGARDING REQUEST FOR RECALL. THIS ITEM WAS RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN'S , BUT NOT THE MURANO. NISSAN STATES EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY ON FUEL SYSTEMS IS ONLY FOR 3 YEARS AND MY TIME IS OVER SINCE THE CAR IS NOW 5 YEARS OLD . SINCE JULY OF 2010 67,000 MILES THE TANK HAS BEEN TELLING ME I AM EMPTY WHEN I REACH HALF A TANK OF GAS THE CAR THINKS ITS EMPTY, I HAD NO INTENTION OF FIXING IT SINCE I KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR BUT NOW THAT IT WON'T PASS EMISSIONS TESTING, I TEST EVERY 2 YEARS AND SEPT 15, 2011 CAR WENT IN FOR TESTING AND FAILED DUE TO THIS FUEL PROBLEM, DUE TO COST TO FIX, I HAVE DEALT WITH POOR FUEL ECONOMY AND FUEL SENSOR/GAUGE MALFUNCTION BUT NOW I CAN'T PUT MY CAR ON THE ROAD ANYMORE DUE TO NOT PASSING EMISSIONS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO RENEW MY LICENSE PLATES. [XXX] NOW HAS EXACTLY 73,000 MILES ON IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

POWER SEAT SUPPORT BRACKET ON NISSAN 2006 MURANO BROKEN. WHEN DRIVER SETS IN SEAT THE SEAT TILTS TO THE LEFT. BRACKET LOOKS VERY LIGHT DUTY FOR A AVERAGE DRIVER. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO; INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT CONTROL ARM AND SHOCKS WERE BAD; HOWEVER, NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX; NO WARNINGS ON SAFETY OF CAR OR WARNINGS NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. TOTALED CAR 1 WEEK LATER WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE RIGHT. *TR

ADD ME TO THE LIST OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WHO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME/BRACKET/ANCHOR/RAIL THAT BREAKS OR FAILS. OUR VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE AND INITIALLY WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER THE LOCAL NISSAN SHOP GURU INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED OF COURSE DOES NOT COVER THIS EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE SEAT ON THE BROCHURE. LIKE OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD $1000+ TO REPAIR. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WOULD RE-OPEN THEIR INVESTIGATION AS IT WAS CLOSED ON 7/2/09 AND IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE TAKES A COUPLE OF YEARS TO MANIFEST. OUT OF THE 108 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED 23 WERE PRIOR TO THE DATE THE INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED 11/18/08, SO 85 WERE AFTER THAT OR MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. MY HOPE IS THAT THEY RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION DUE TO ONGOING COMPLAINTS RELATING TO AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. ISN'T THE OBJECTIVE TO IDENTIFY AN ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND HAVE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY NISSAN IS NOT MOTIVATED DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY SOLD OVER 500,000 1ST GENERATION MURANOS(IT IS NOT JUST THE 2006 MODEL THAT HAS THESE ISSUES). SO IF IT IS $1,000 PER REPAIR ON A RECALL AT 500,000 UNITS THE TOTAL PRICE TAG IS 500 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS FIX. WELL NO WONDER WHY THIS HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. THAT IS REALLY THE BOTTOM LINE I BELIEVE. *TR

MY SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT INTERFERE MY DRIVING ABILITY. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY DROPS, BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. FOR ME IT COMPLETELY OBSCURES MY VIEW. THIS WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIR (REPAIR COSTS IN EXCESS OF $435 QUOTED TO ME). I HAVE READ PAGES AND PAGES OR ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2003 MODEL YEAR THROUGH 2006. NISSAN DOES NOT OFFER A REPAIR OR RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER SEAT BEGAN TO INDEPENDENTLY TILT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT TRACK HAD FRACTURED. THE DEALER STATED THE FAILURE WAS COMMON IN HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 38,000.

DRIVER'S SEAT LEFT SIDE LINK AND MOTOR ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED RESULTING IN SEAT TIPPING SIDEWAYS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE SHOULDER AND LAP BELT LOCKS TO THE NOW MOVING SEAT RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVERS SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN IN YOUR FACE, CAN'T SEE THE ROAD. *TR

MY 2006 MURANO WAS BOUGHT USED, SHORTLY AFTER BUYING, I HAD DIFFICULTY PUTTING GAS INTO IT, PUMP KEPT SHUTTING OFF, IT ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY, SO I DID NOTHING ABOUT IT, BUT DID LOOK IT UP TO SEE THERE WAS A "SERVICE BULLETIN" NOW EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS IT WILL DO THIS, SO I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT IT TO GET THIS FIXED, AS I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY OTHERS W/ THIS SAME PROBLEM, IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE GAS WOULD SPILL BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON THE GROUND, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR ON MURANO SUDDENLY DOES NOT STAY FULLY UP OR FULLY DOWN. MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. COULD CAUSE HEAD INJURIES IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN INTO LINE OF VISION WHEN CAR HITS A BUMP AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR TALL DRIVERS TO SEE THE ROAD. VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS RESULTS IN HAVING TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE OTHER HAND IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. DEALER WANTS $500 TO REPLACE VISOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2003-2007 MURANOS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE "SUN VISOR" HAS FAILED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WHILE DRIVING THE VISOR DROPS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER! I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE ON ALL NISSAN MURANO'S AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND "SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM" DUE TO THE SERIOUS SAFETY RISK! THEY WERE SYMPATHETIC TO THE ISSUE BUT UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE VISOR WITHOUT CHARGE FOR THE PART AND LABOR! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS VISOR ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM! SINCE SEEING THE DEALER MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE VISOR DROPPING INTO HER LINE OF SIGHT CAUSING HER TO HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT METAL BRACKET WAS BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED HIM THAT IT WOULD COST HIM $1300 FOR THE REPAIRS. THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. . UPDATED 03/03/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE SEAT ROCKS DRASTICALLY SIDE TO SIDE AND UP AND DOWN AS HE TURNS THE VEHICLE OR HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD.

POWER DRIVERS SEAT ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAS FAILED. SEAT STUCK IN TWISTED POSITION WHEN ENGINE STARTED CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE IF DRIVEN. CAR CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN WITH SEAT IN THIS POSITION. SEAT BRACKET WITH MOTORS WAS REPLACED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO WHEN SHE SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. THE DRIVER SEAT, WHICH WOBBLES, LEANED FREELY TO THE RIGHT AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND GO INTO THE DITCH. LUCKILY, SHE WAS NOT INJURED AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN OUT OF THE DITCH. THIS ISSUE WITH THE SEAT HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED AS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. THE SEAT NOW CONSTANTLY WOBBLES AND LEANS FORWARD AND TO THE RIGHT WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAID A NEW BRACKET WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED, WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1000. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT BROKE AND HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TRACK, THEREFORE ALLOWING THE SEAT TO TILT SIDE TO SIDE WITH ANY TURN. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BUT APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SEAT BREAKING IN THE MURANO. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO SPLIT THE COST WITH ME AND THEY REFUSE TO DO SO. WITH ALL THE INFO OUT ON THE INTERNET ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM I THINK THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL AND ADMIT THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD IT BOUNCED AND SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING FOR A MOMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE LOCAL MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE IN THE LOWER CONTROL BUSHING ARM. THE BRAKES ALSO FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY WHEN THEY WERE APPLIED. . THE MANUFACTURER FILED REPORT 7198074 AND DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE FAILURE AND SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 53,000.

DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2006 MURANO CAME LOOSE FROM IT'S MOUNTING SATURDAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT IS LIKE THE SEAT CAME LOOSE FROM THE OUTER MOUNTING BRACKET. WHEN I TRANSFER MY WEIGHT TO MY LEFT, WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, I CAN FEEL THE SEAT TIP SIDEWAYS TO AN ALARMING DEGREE. WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN, I FEEL LIKE THE SEAT IS GOING TO ROLL RIGHT OUT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. VERY UNSETTLING. I TOOK THE CAR TODAY TO MY NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. TOLD ME A BRACKET HAD SNAPPED UNDER THE SEAT AND THAT THE "SEAT ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST: $1200 INCLUDING LABOR. THIS SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS ON SEVERAL LEVELS, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW IN THE MATERIALS USED TO HOLD THAT SEAT IN PLACE. I WAS ADVISED BY SERVICE WRITER NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR, AS THE SEAT COULD BREAK OFF AND ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE I AM DRIVING. FYI, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY OFF ROADING, EVER. I WEIGH 190 POUNDS, SO I'M NOT HUGE. I'M SHOCKED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM TODAY AND FOUND AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY OF DISGRUNTLED MURANO OWNERS WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. I THINK YOUR ORGANIZATION SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO SL.THE DRIVE SEAT FRAME I S BROKEN. WHENEVER I TAKE A TURN THE SEAT LIFTS AS THE FRAME IS BROKEN. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN DEALER FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE PARTS WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. BUT ITS BEEN 2+ WEEKS ,THEY STILL WAITING ON PARTS. I DON'T THINK THEY GOING TO REPLACE IT. AS THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON AMONG ALL MURANOS ,I AM FILING THIS COMPLAIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 MURANO S MODEL WHEN SUDDENLY THE DRIVER SEAT LURCHED DOWN TO THE LEFT. IT HAD A BROKEN WELD IN THE SEAT FRAME. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000. I WOULD HOPE THAT A NEW INVESTIGATION CAN BE INITIATE. THAT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR IN THE NISSAN MURANO 2006 S MODEL FALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING IN YOUR FACE. NISSAN WANTS OVER $400 TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF. *TR

AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

THE SEAT IN MY NISSAN MURANO WHILE I WAS TURNING THE SEAT JUST BROKE AND SENT ME SHIFTING AND MOVING TO THE LEFT. NOW MY SEAT ROCKS AND DOESN'T FEEL SECURE WHEN TURNING. IF THAT WAS TO BREAK DURING AN ACCIDENT IT COULD SEND THE PERSON TO FLY OUT. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO - LEFT HAND (DRIVER'S SIDE) SUN VISOR FAILURE TO STAY FLUSH WITH ROOF. THE PART FALLS INTO THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER CREATING A SAFETY CONCERN. THE FAILURE OCCURS CONSTANTLY. TO CORRECT THE ISSUE A $404 PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED FROM NISSAN ($404 FOR A SUN VISOR WITH A LIGHTED VANITY MIRROR, SERIOUSLY???) NISSAN SHOULD TAKE ACTION AND RECALL THIS PART BASED ON HUNDREDS OF OCCURRENCES BEING DISCUSSED ON FORUMS. *TR
