2006 Nissan Murano Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD THE SQUEAKING NOISE AND A POP SOUND FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE SEAT THEN BROKE, PUSHING HER TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL AND INJURING HER AS WELL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000.

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME SNAPPED COMPLETELY IN HALF. THIS IS THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE CAR AND SHOULD NOT BREAK WITH NO REASON. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. THE SEAT IS VERY LOOSE AND THEREFORE VERY UNSAFE. IT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE EXCESSIVE INJURY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED AS THERE IS NO SUPPORT TO KEEP THE SEAT FROM MOVING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

SUN VISOR ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO BECAME LOOSE AND NOW CONSTANTLY DROPS DOWN INTO FIELD OF VIEW WHILE DRIVING AT SLIGHT BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR HITS A SMALL BUMP, AND PARTIALLY OBSCURES VISION. *TR

POWER STEERING LINE DEVELOPED A LEAK AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME CONDITION ONLINE. NISSAN WAS NO HELP. IF NOT NOTICED, POWER STEERING WOULD HAVE FAILED. *TR

SEAT BROKE HAD WELDED NO 4 CYLINDER RAN LEAN HAD TO REPLACE PISTON MELTED RAN OUT OF OIL NO WARNING LIGHT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON THE OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO IS VERY LOOSE AND OFTEN FALLS DOWN, OBSCURING THE DRIVERS VISION OF THE ROAD. *TR

DRIVER VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE KEEPING SUN OUT OF DRIVER'S EYES. IT EITHER DOES NOT HOLD IN PLACE AT ALL OR DROPS SUDDENLY TO BLOCK VISIBILITY. *TR

FRONT RIGHT BEARING FAILURE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS STARTLING TO THE DRIVER. WHEN IT DROPS DOWN IT ALSO IMPAIRS VISION. IT CAN DROP 2-3 TIMES WITHIN A 2 MILE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. IT WILL NOT STAY IN IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BANKSTON NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN LEWISVILLE, TX, AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED "COSMETIC" AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I THEN CALLED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YRS. OLD AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR WOULD BE $458.00. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND A LESS EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT VISOR I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, FROM AT LEAST AS FAR BACK AS 2004. THE VISOR HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. THIS SUN VISOR, IN IT'S PRESENT CONDITION, CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING AN AUTO ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS ON THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO, ON 5/29/10 MY GRANDMOTHER AND MYSELF GOT INTO THE VEH WHEN I TURNED THE VEH ON THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW NOTHING I GOT BACK IN AND CHECKED THE DASHBOARD TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND SAW NOTHING. AS WE WERE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE MY GRANDMOTHER STATED SHE FELT HEAT ON THE AREA OF THE ARMREST. I CAME INSIDE FOR NO MORE THAN 5 MINS AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE BETWEEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATS I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AS A RESULT OF THIS FIRE THE VEH WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE PICS OF THE AFTERMATH SHOWING THAT THE TRUNK HATCH MELTED AND THAT THE INTERIOR WAS NOTHING BUT THE FRAME. UP UNTIL 5/29/10 THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WHEN THERE IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE A GREEN WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN AND THE ONLY TIME THAT POPPED UP WAS WHEN THE TIRE ROTATION MAINTENANCE WAS DUE. THE ONLY MAINTENANCE THAT I HAVE HAD DONE ON THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASING ON 11/07/10 WAS AN OIL CHANGE, THE OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WAS FOR 4/17/10 FOR A TIRE ROTATION WHICH WAS NOT DONE BECAUSE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PUT DOWN FOR AN OIL CHANGE WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED, I HAD SCHEDULED THIS APPT ONLINE AND IT WAS ALSO CONFIRMED ONLINE WHAT I WAS COMING IN TO HAVE DONE. THE MECHANIC DID AN OIL CHANGE AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM I WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE HE TOLD ME THE 2 TIRES WOULD SOON NEED TO BE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE THEREFORE THERE WAS NO NEED TO ROTATE AN HE RESET THE MONITOR ON THE VEH. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE MGR OF NISSAN PASSPORT TO DISCUSS THE DAMAGES TO THE VEH AND HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO SPEAK WITH NISSAN ABOUT THE MANUFACTURING. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SPEAK WITH A CONSUMER AFFAIRS REP SINCE ABOUT 6/3/10, WHEN I CALL I AM PLACED ON HOLDAM PLACED OVER 20 MINUTES AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILE A COMPLAINT.

SIMILAR COMPLAINT RE: DRIVER'S SEAT ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR USED (1 MONTH AGO). THE SEAT, AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS FOR THE DRIVER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND HAS BEEN OPERATING WITHOUT CONCERN. TODAY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAME OFF TRACK WITHOUT WARNING, NOW LEANS WAY TO THE LEFT AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I DROVE IT HOME AND WILL TAKE IT TO DEALER TOMORROW. I DID CALL NISSAN RE: RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE DESPITE THE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I INTEND TO DO WHAT I CAN TO ENSURE IT IS ADDRESSED BY NISSAN AND THE REPAIRS MADE. *TR

OPERATING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO ON THE ROADWAY WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN POP AND SNAP NOISE FROM BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THE DRIVERS SEAT KNOW IS LOOSE AND TILTS TO THE LEFT AND IS VERY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING. I WENT TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT RAIL HAD BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AT A COST OF $1200.. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I LEARNED THAT I AM AMONG MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BROKEN SEAT RAIL SYNDROME. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE BRACKET WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A CORRECTIVE NOTICE ISSUED TO NISSAN OF MA. *TR

DRIVER SEAT ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO DROPPED AND SHIFTED ABRUPTLY CAUSING ME TO TEMPORARILY LOOSE CONTROL AND CROSS THE CENTER LINE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY 15 IN VIRGINIA. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND GET BACK INTO MY LANE BEFORE A COLLISION. SUBSEQUENT EXAMINATION OF THE SEAT REVEALED A HINGED CONNECTING MEMBER AT THE REAR LEFT SECTION OF THE SEAT FRAME OF THE 10 WAY POWER DRIVER'S SEAT HAD FAILED CAUSING THE SEAT TO FALL AND SHIFT TO THE LEFT.

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IS LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. IT APPEARS THAT ONE OF THE BRACKETS BROKE UNDERNEATH. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND THEN NISSAN CORPORATE SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF MURANO OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A REALLY SAFETY CONCERN BUT I FEAR THAT NISSAN WILL ONLY DO SOMETHING ONCE SOMEONE DIES FROM IT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO WON'T STAY UP ANYMORE. LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT JUST DROPS DOWN. ON OCCASION, IT WILL STAY FOR A SHORT WHILE, ONLY TO DROP INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT WHILE DRIVING!! DEFINITELY SAFETY HAZARD THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

THE DRIVERS' SEAT IN OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO CAME UN-WELDED. THIS FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO ANY OUT OF THE ORDINARY USE AS THIS VEHICLE IS A DAILY DRIVER. WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 80K MILES ON THE CAR WHEN SUDDENLY OUR SEAT STARTED TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH IN A CADDY CORNER MOTION. DEALER SAID HE HAD SEEN ABOUT 60 OF THESE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND OFFERED NO COMPLIMENTARY PART FOR REPLACEMENT. WE PURCHASED THE 100K MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO WE ONLY HAD TO PAY $50.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, A SEAT COMING UN-WELDED? MAKES MY STOMACH SICK TO KNOW THAT THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE AS WELL AS THE THOUGHT OF WHAT IF... PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND MAKE NISSAN CORRECT THIS ISSUE WITH AN OTHERWISE TROUBLE-FREE CAR. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO SL DRIVERS SEAT MOTOR FAILED IN CAR WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT. AS A RESULT, I CANNOT REACH THE GAS OR BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE PILLOWS TO GET ME TO THE PEDALS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN IN JULY 2010 AND ALSO IN JUNE 2011. RESEARCH ON CAR FORUMS SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT. THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - ESTIMATE IS $1200. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE SEATS. *TR

THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & THEY SAY THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY & THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR $400 FOR A NEW ONE. I DID GET AN USED ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE & IT TOO DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2006 NISSAN MURANO S AWD VIN # [XXX]. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE END OF MARCH 2010. I SCHEDULED MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT IN THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. PRIOR TO THE APPT, I NOTICED A MAJOR DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE 2 FUEL INSTRUMENT GAUGES. WHENEVER FUEL WOULD BE DOWN TO AROUND A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS, ONE OR BOTH OF THE GAUGES/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WOULD SHOW ANY WHERE FROM 1/2 A TANK OF FUEL TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE IN APRIL, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT, AND THAT MY AFTER MARKET WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM THAT DEALERSHIP, DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR NEEDED. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE 'FUEL SENDER'(FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT). I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR(S) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WITH PARTS AND LABOR, THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST WOULD BE $450. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM MYSELF, I FOUND THAT NISSAN IS HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE IN OTHER MODELS THE SAME MODEL YEAR, 2006. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND FOUND THAT NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE ARE BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME. I FEEL THAT GIVEN THE LARGE-SCALE RECALL (540,000 VEHICLES MOSTLY IN THE US) IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL OTHER MODELS, SAME YEAR, SAME PROBLEM, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MY MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I HAVE NOT AS OF YET RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE ROADWAY BUT THAT IS MAINLY DUE TO CONSTANTLY KEEPING THE TANK AT LEAST HALF FULL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AT MY EXPENSE IN HOPES THAT THE NHTSA WILL MAKE NISSAN EXTEND ITS RECALL, AS IT SHOULD. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO. DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION. VISOR IS VERY STIFF TRYING TO PUSH UP, AND CONTINUALLY STAYS IN THE "DOWN" POSITION. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN PLACE, CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. ONCE BACK IN PLACE, THE VISOR WILL DROP DOWN ON ITS OWN. I HAVE HAD TO USE A BUNGEE CORD THAT GOES FROM THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR ACROSS THE VISOR TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE CEILING HANDLE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT WOBBLES AND IS UNSTABLE WHEN RAISED TO COMFORTABLE DRIVING HEIGHT, DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ATTACHED IN BACK LEFT CORNER. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON OUR 2005 NISSAN MURANO NO LONGER STAYS IN POSITION. THE VISOR WILL JUST 'FLOP' DOWN WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR ANY OTHER ABRUPT MANEUVER. WHEN THE VISOR FLOPS DOWN THE VISION OF THE DRIVER BECOMES IMPAIRED. THE DRIVER CAN PUSH THE VISOR BACK UP INTO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION BUT THE VISOR WILL THEN JUST FLOP DOWN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE VISOR UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO PAY BETWEEN $400-$460 FOR A NEW VISOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH 29K MILES. WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS I FELT A POP IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEARD A METALLIC SOUND FROM UNDER THE SEAT. FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS FELT UNSTABLE AND WOULD MOVE FREELY DURING TURNS AND NORMAL ACCELERATION/BRAKING. THIS INCIDENT SEEMS COMMON BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH AND IS REFERRED TO AS A BACK-LEFT LEANING PROBLEM. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT NO RECALL. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V169000 (ENGINE: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING).

I HAVE A 06 NISSAN MURANO,,THE DRIVERSIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT NOTICE,,WHICH CAN AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT,,DEALER WANTS 400. PLUS TO FIX,,THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNCOMMON IT SEEMS,,I WOULD HATE TO SEE NISSAN GET HIT LIKE TOYOTA,,THIS IS SOMETHING NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT,,MAYBE THIS MAY HAVE TO BE HANDLED BY THE MEDIA,,THEY SEEM TO GET THINGS DONE. *TR

THE PROBLEM IS TRYING TO PUT GAS INTO MY VEHICLE THE NOZZLE ON THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OF AND SPIT GAS BACK TODAY I HAD A PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY HUSBAND REPEATEDLY HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALER AND WITH THE NISSAN COMPANY DIRECTLY. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR, MODEL AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM TOO. YOU HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE NOZZLE ON AND MOVING IT AROUND IN THE GAS TANK TRYING TO FIND A POSITION WHERE THE NOZZLE WON'T SHUT OFF OR SPIT THE GAS BACK AT YOU. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME WHERE I HAD TO COME HOME AND CHANGE MY CLOTHES, GAS ON MY SHOES, AND PANTS, HANDS, ARMS I CONSIDER THIS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE A CIGARETTE LIT AT THE PUMPS AS ILLEGAL AS IT MAY BE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS SO IS NOT THE PUMP AT ONE CERTAIN STATION. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO, AFTER DRIVING 85 MILES CONTINUOUSLY ON THE INTERSTATE, WHEN I SLOWED TO MERGE TO ANOTHER INTERSTATE LOST ALL POWER WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I WAS STOPPED WITH NO EMERGENCY LANE IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA AND WAS LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED THE OTHERS MERGING AND TRAVELING BY AT 70 M.P.H.! IT EVENTUALLY GAVE ME SOME POWER WHICH I USED TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE AND CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN DES MOINES. I WAS ABLE TO "LIMP" THE CAR THE 20 MINUTE DRIVE ON BACK ROADS IN DES MOINES WHERE WITHIN AN HOUR, THE DEALER TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER NISSAN EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE A FAILED ONE, IT STRIKES ME THAT A REPAIR/RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ON THESE BEFORE AN INCIDENT LIKE MINE OCCURS. I HAD THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR, WITH OTHER CARS RACING BY ME AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR..BUT OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY! *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR DEFECT CAUSES IT TO FALL FROM THE UP POSITION TO THE DOWN POSITION WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING LOSS OF FULL VISION WHEN DRIVING. IT OCCURS CONSTANTLY. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. COST TO OWNER IS $400 TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

TLA* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 10 MPH AND UP, THE DRIVER?S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD FALL WITHOUT WARNING, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF FACTORY WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. ON MARCH 26, 2010, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE WHEN MOVING TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN MOVING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT VOLUNTARILY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLANT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,040. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPS DOWN CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WHENEVER I HIT ANY TYPE OF BUMP OR SWERVE IN THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER ONE ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FAILURE OCCURS EVERY DAY, SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VISORS. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $400+ TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY NISSAN A LONG TIME AGO.

MY 2006 MURANO DRIVER SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. IT LEANS VERY FAR TO THE LEFT WHEN TURNING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT A SEAT WOULD STAY ATTACHED TO A VEHICLE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO FIX THE SEAT. *CN
