2006 NISSAN Murano

My wife’s 06 Murano transmission went out and it only has a little over 50,000 miles on it

Front windows open on their own after I lock and leave the car with alarm going on in the middle of the night. Two or three times.

I just literally bought my nissan murano and the seat bracket was already broken which i dont know because im disabled and i find out the seat bracket is broken and the radiator was broken that i now have to replace because the dealership wouldn’t do anything and i got screwed!. So i looked into all this and the left seat bracket is a common problem all the time!same issue. I and several thousands of customers agree you need to recall and fix this problem.. I will take further action if need be..! Im totally upset like thousands of others and im being taken for this.. Also im only 115 lbs and because of this im all over the place bery dangerous

I own a 06 Nissan Murano. On December 28 2012 my drivers seat broke. I was driving and heard a loud pop. Next thing I know I was leaning to the left. I took the car to a mechanic who said that he could fix it. It was 6 days later that the seat broke again. I am now out of $325 and still driving around with a broken seat. My warranty was expired so the dealership would not fix unless I paid. The price they gave me was $1400. I feel this should be a recall situation because this is my second Murano that I own that I had to get the seat fix. A week after I bought the car the seat went. I was under warranty so they dealer fixed it for free. After this happened with my second I started investigating and found on line forums of Murano owners of different years and mileage with the same problem. If this isn’t a safety hazard I don’t know what is. This is an accident waiting to happen. Nissan knows this is a problem but won’t recall it. For the life of me I don’t know why. It’s all about money. They won’t do anything until someone gets seriously hurt or dies.

To Whom It May Concern:On 09/03/06, the above vehicle, which I am purchasing, stopped pulling as it was being driven away from the house. There were no indicators that the car was going to malfunction prior to the event where it was rendered undriveable. When it became disabled, the message

The design on the front of this Nissan Murano makes it easy for rocks or any other items to fly into the radiator damaging it. There is no type of protection from anything flying into the radiator. The dealers offer no remidies for these problem. Only to fix it and charge your for the repair and send you right back out for this to happen again. I would like to get out of the lease and find a car with a better design and more protection or there should be a recall on this vehicle to protect the consumer pockets. When I talked with the Service, sales, and customer relations manager at Dick Scott They offered no remidies to help protect us from this happening again.

In Dec.2006, Me and my wife decided to buy a 2006 Nissan Murano from a dealer. Found one and we paid cash.two months later, the front brakes started to make some weird noises. We contacted a Nissan dealer. I was told the brakes are OK, so we left. Later, the brakes start making even louder noises. Called another dealer to have the brakes checked. They told me that Nissan Comp. knows that these cars have brake problems, but don’t want to recall them. After three other check ups and fixes, I contacted Nissan Comp. by email. I received a response that a dealer form another state will take care of me.Wrong email. I sent another one, no response. I contacted again the Performance Nissan dealer of WA. I was told again that Nissan Comp. knows the problem and that Murano’s brakes are defective. Ask them to help me with the problem. Not very much help. After fourth appointment, they are not very cooperative. They just don’t want to see me or my wife around. The problem is that my wife is afraid to drive it. Last time we went I talked to an employee. He told me that the dealer knows that this type of cars are a problem, but don

The driver’s seat totally came loose from the floor of the car. The entire seat and power portion of the seat will need to be replaced and I have not done so as yet as I believe that the manufacturer should pay for it. I have been owned many cars during my driving tenure and have never had a seat fail!!

The front driver's side seat bracket is broken and the seat sways from side to side. this seems to be a common problem and there should be a recall for this part. the cost is enormous and should not be the burden of the consumer. there should be a recall for this. this is a safety concern.

Driver's side seat frame snapped while getting into my car. this is very dangerous as the seat wobbles and is now not secure to the vehicle. i feel i may become a human missile if i were to get into an accident.

Front driver's side seat bracket is broken and seat wobbles. the seat could break free in an accident and cause serious injury. this is a safety-related issue and nissan should do the right thing by issuing a recall.

The driver's side air bag light just appeared on one day. vehicle has never been in any type of major accident. had concern and had it checked out for some unreal amount to repair of which i can't afford to have repaired. my concern is with the recall on these airbags on the nissan, i'm really concerned that one day it will just inflate and cause injury to me while driving. is there a recall on air bags on this vehicle i saw on the news today (7/12/17) there is a recall on additional nissan vehicles. am i able to take vehicle in and have this repaired at no charge? please advise asap.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving at any speed, the vehicle shook without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rear frame was rusted out and referred the contact to the dealer. the dealer was contacted at 414-586-5400 where it was recommended that a diagnostic test be performed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 178,000. updated 10/18/17*lj *tr

While driving (making a turn at a light) sub frame collapsed due to rust and all control of vehicle was lost. car collapsed on to back wheels.

On numerous occasions while driving the vehicle and excel on the gas pedal all the way to the floor, the car will only go 5 mph and will eventually take off at full speed.

Broken drivers side (left) seat lifter bracket

Driver side sun visor flips/falls down. it's especially bad when you hit a bump, causing a driving hazard. when you push the visor up, it won't stay and keeps minimal tension.

My daughter 2006 nissan murano rear subframe failed at 118,000 miles. the subframe has rotted through completely. we brought the car in for routine maintenance and were told the car was unsafe to drive on the roads. after researching this online, there are many people with subframe issues. nissan needs to recall these cars. the rest of the undercarriage looks like new. this is clearly a problem that is of great safety concern. please advise others of this issue.

The drivers metal seat bracket under the seat snapped when getting in my car. the seat is wobbly and moves with braking or accelerating. i was told it was not part of a recall and would cost $1500.00 to buy a new bracket. a whole new seat would be $5000.00. there are many complaints from owners of this model about the front seat bracket breaking. if i was in an accident my seat would definitely come loose from my car with me in the seat. i can't afford a $1500 bracket. why would that bracket cost that much?

The gas gage will show full when i fill the tank yet 50 miles of driving and it starts to show empty and then go up to 3/4 tank and then empty again the low fuel light and servce engine light comes on and i am never sure how much fuel or mileage i am getting from a tank of gas. i changed the fuel pump about a year ago thinking this would solve the problem i get code po463 when checked with scanner. the car has 132, 000 miles on it and this problem is ongoing. my son ran out of gas in the middle of an intersection when it quit. no way to be sure of how much fuel and on a trip to nc from fla i am afraid of this car running out on the highway with me an old disabled woman alone. i have read many peoples accounts online that this is an ongoing issue and it is surely a safety hazard.. it will say the tank is empty and when i put gas in it only takes 5 gal or it will read full and run out of gas.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the vehicle had an abnormal fuel odor. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank leaked and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 06v003000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the vin was not included. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

Took vehicle in for repairs for oil leaks, lights, trunk release, vehicle running like a truck, a/c, radio,transmission and camera display in car. was told trunk release , motor, and transmission problems, and lighting couldn't be duplicated. the same day i picked up my vehicle turn vehicle off close the drivers door and head and rear lights shut off, close my trunk and again head and rear lights went off. took vehicle to another dealer and showed the service advisor my concerns informed me a dianogstic test would cost $270 if couldn't find anything wrong, and i couldn't be take home because it was over 10 miles, and advisor suggested taking car closer to where i lived. showed him and told him my concerns: foot pedal switch works sometimes, seat operates sometime, the smell from exhaust has a very bad smell, a/c works sometime while driving and doesn't blow cold at all while idol, and sun visor keep falling down lower causing you to not see..

Airbag light on continuously took it to the service department stated i had to pay for the part and labor there have been recalls on these cars airbags

I just purchased my 2006 nissan murano still making payments and i noticed when i am driving it feels like the back is riding on ice. i drove it on the freeway and was so scared of the way the car felt like i had no control of the steering it felt as if it was goingvto fishtail. i did take it back to the car lot i bought it from to have someone take a look at it and they gave me the number of a mechanic. the mechanic asked if they were paying for the diagnostic and i thought thats what the warranty was for but was told the warranty only covers the tranny and engine. so they said they would get ahold of the owner and ask him if they can pay for it that was 4 or 5 days ago and still no word back. i plan on taking the car to get it checked out if i can find someone to diagnose it free i am on disability and still making payments on the car so have very little money left after all my bills.

The left, driver's side front seat of my 2006 nissan murano broke while my son was driving. the support bracket cracked completely, leaving the seat tilted downward several inches on the left side. the car is dangerous to drive in this condition because the seat is bouncing at an odd angle. i have seen many complaints online of the same problem with the nissan murano. it is hard to believe that an nhtsa recall has not been issued.

Transfer case cracked in half , leaking

Vehicle shuts off while driving,no acceleration,vehicle shuts off while in traffic,both cam shaft sensors replaced and problem still exists. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator continuously illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was unable to be diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Not sure when it happened but seat frame broke, now i wobble back and for while driving.. no recall for this. ridiculous!!! scary as [xxx] ... not only that, i have like 100's of stories copied here of the exact same thing. i want to know why nissan has not recalled the frame for this vehicle? i will never buy a nissan again!!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I was driving my murano about 40 mph on a four-lane divided road in centennial co around 12:30 pm on march 13, 2020 when i heard a very loud bang right above my head. the sky was perfect clear blue, so no chance it was hail. i knew instantly that my sun roof glass had shattered. i heard pieces of it rolling off the car. i pulled off on to the first side street and got out to examine what had happened. i saw a hole in the sun roof about 6 inches x 6 inches in the center of the sun roof. i initially thought something had fallen out of the sky and hit my car, but i could tell from how the glass was pointed upward around the edges of the hole that a force underneath the glass had shattered it.

The rear sub frame on the driver's side of my 06 nissan murano awd is broken and it's cracked on the passenger side. when driving down the road you can feel the rear swaying back and forth. it's also caused my tires to flare out and wear on the inside edge of the tires.

The vehicle has a subframe that has rotted from the inside out. after doing research online, this is a common issue with most murano's produced between the years 2004 and 2007 with around 120,000 miles. the result of this is loss of stability on the road while moving, and the potential for the rear suspension to come off of the vehicle. this also causes the car to not pass pennsylvania state inspection regulations. again, because this issue is caused from the metal of the subframe corroding from the inside out, it is a manufacturer's fault, no the driver/owners's. and because the majority of this make of car in these select years, shows coincidence is not to blame.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving various speeds, the vehicle rapidly jerked while switching gears. also, while driving various speeds, the vehicle shut off without warning. the contact stated that the temperature gauge ran hot prior to experiencing the failure. the manufacturer and dealer were not notified. the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 09v169000 (engine and engine cooling). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving, the driver's seat support bracket cracked and the seat rocked and was unstable. the seat was repaired by an independent mechanic, but the repair lasted three months before it cracked and snapped again. the manufacturer responded to a letter from the contact and responded that there was no recall; therefore, they could not assist with the repair costs. the dealer was not notified. the contact refused to pay $2,000 for the repairs and there was only a 90 day warranty on the part, but not the labor. the failure mileage was 35,000.

Car is sluggish at take off and makes a horrible rattling noise once i’ve accelerated at 20 miles and more. very loud

Airbag light came on and want reset, airbag has never deployed in my possession, i received info that there is a recall on said model. request more info.

Codes p1778 (sep motor function) and p00845 (transmission fluid pressure) for the cvt transmission. in researching these, i found many complaint trails concerning these transmissions and various related codes. nissan's answer is always to replace the transmission at high costs to owner. mine continues to run but in a kind of crippled mode called "safe mode" that is an attempt to reduce major transmission damages. codes occurred during driving on side streets under 45 mph. vehicle can no longer be used at highway speeds as the "safe mode" limits rpm and speed.

The frame rusted through. i was very lucky that i didn’t get in an accident! very disappointing on nissan. i drive at highway speeds i would have lost control, rear end totally collapse, wheels are tilted in and lost traction.

Jatco cvt, a known issue by nissan. it burns and leaks oil putting the entire transmission at risk of failure.

Takara recall fuel guage doesn't work. it is stuck on half tank

Seat support broken in drivers seat. under the driver's seat, left rear support bracket is broken. i was driving making a 30 degree right hand turn moving at about 15 - 20 miles an hour.

Sunvisor not staying in place, falls to impair visibility. both sunvisors have failed and will not stay up, or in a position. nissan is not interested in the safety of its owners/drivers.

Seat support is broken on the drivers side causing the driver my son, to shift to the left while driving the car. a dealer sold this used car as is and covered a wooden block that supported the seat with cloth to disguise the problem. after looking at this site i found over 700 complaints. the seat is compromised and it’s a manufacturers safety defect. if an accident were to occur the driver could be thrown into the dash or worst because of a already broken driver seat support. why should consumers not be made aware of this safety concern and the manufacture required to do a proper fix? is the seat belt designed to hold the passenger and the seat in place during an accident?

Engine stalled driving down the road while on a highway roads were snowy

Extreme rusting on frame, being advised that this 12 year old murano would not even pass next inspection due to the rust.

Immediately after i had the cat fluid flushed/replaced at my local nissan dealer, there would be a smell of burning liquid from underneath the car. usually the smell is stronger when coming to a stop from moving

The intake air thing as mentioned online there is a recall for bc it comes loose and pops off.

Cvt needs replacement! time to stand by nissan products and customers. codes are all transmission related, p0774, p0840, p0845, p1778. vin [xxx]. they are hiding behind 10 yr or 120,000 mile wall. 06 murano has 94,000 miles. being punished for driving less than 8,000 miles per year. this model needs to be recalled, it is a "do not drive" situation. public boards are full of cvt failures and nissan dodging its customers. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

The fuel lever guage is inconsistent and way off. i put a half tank in and it reads empty.

We first started having issues with the ignition coils and spark plug going bad, causing our car to stop and shake. had them replaced and a month later the car started making an ungodly rattle noise. almost like a loud fan type noise. it gets louder the more you drive it. the several different shops that looked at it. all said the same thing, the lifters needed to be replaced and fast. and said unfortunately it was just a matter of time. before my axle and navigation system went out mid drive. and i should contact you because this was nissan issue to fix. and that we need to get rid of this death trap. before it killed me and our family.

While driving my kids to school this morning, i lost all acceleration in the middle of a busy road unable to move, drive anything. i turned the car on and off to try to move the car from the middle of the road, i could only reverse. when in drive i its as if it were in neutral. the battery, brake light and check engine light all came on at once. they were not on prior to this happening. clearly this is some sort of malfunction with in nissan. i read multiple people having the same issues as me and i plan to make this known. if i had been on the highway when this happened with my kids in the car we would all be dead this is a serious issues and it needs to be addressed clearly there is some sort of and issues where nissan has a recall or something.

On 3/19/19 i was driving doing about 37 miles as i stop at a red light and then made a left turn . upon making that turn i heard a loud pop into my left ear and a burning sensation on my left arm and the back of my shoulder . i became dizzy and blurred vision i held my composure and pulled into the nearest gas station i struggled to get the door open i noticed all airbags exploded except the two front passenger and driver bags . i received burns and bruising on my my left arm neck and the side of my face . there was never an accident or damaging impact done to the vehicle for this to happen.

My cvt transmission slips when i first start to drive (cannot go over 20 miles an hour.) after warming up it starts to respond. when driving on expressway you can feel the transmission slip and the car lags/lunges. nissan repair cannot get an "error code" from their machine when testing but acknowledges the problem. they refuse to service the car until it codes. nissan consumer affairs acknowledges the problem and will not provide assistance.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving 25 mph and making turns, the steering wheel felt loose and made an abnormal clicking noise. additionally, the check engine and abs indicators illuminated, the horn failed to work, the driver's side window failed to move up or down, and the rear hatch failed to open. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer (taj auto mall, 154 nazareth pike, bethlehem, pa 18020-9456) where it was diagnosed that the suspension needed to be replaced. the vehicle 's suspension was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 136,000.

Hello, i am writing this because my 2006 nissan murano sl awd has significant rust damage being only 12 (almost 13) years old. i put hours of research and have found my vehicle is not alone in this. [http://www.carproblemzoo.com/nissan/murano/frame-rust-problems.php] this link shows just a few of the people who have complained of a similar issue. my argument is that nissan should have strengthened these subframes because a 12-13 year old car should not have a back end drop out of it because of salt. i live in ohio and we get about 1-3 months of snow and our cities salt a moderate amount. other vehicle we own/had (2001 ford, 2002 ford, 2005 ford) have rust from the snow but the structure of the vehicles are intact and safe to drive. however, the nissan subframes in these murano’s are failing and endanger drivers around the victim’s car. personally, i can handle a car that loses control even when cars are next to me, but this still puts myself and vehicles around me in danger. just recently my car was driving fine and with no ice on the road (9:00pm on a 47 degree rainy day) my vehicle wobbles from the back end and veers right while i am on he highway. i advise that nissan take action and recall the 2006 nissan murano because their subframes are not built to last normal wear and tear of snow and salt that people in the north are subjected to. i understand salt is corrosive and deteriorate the cars faster but this car is a luxury car and should be built to last longer than my 2002 ford focus has. thank you for your time. also may i add that an independent mechanic diagnosed this while attempting to align the car and stated that the “rusted out” subframe will break if he attempts to free the parts needed to align the rear of the car. again, thank you for your time.

Takata recall i am not sure why my vin is not recall as yet. the car accelerates on occasion. i replave all coils now every 2 months because thats how long they are lasting nissan weston florida has not been able to figure out why the car keeps burning coils out. this feels so dangerous to me on the hoghway i do not know if it is the transmission or computer its very scary

Apparently nissan is known for problems with their fuel level sensors, but not specifically for muranos' well maybe it should be, even after i bought the new parts and had them installed with a mechanic, they still do not work or function properly.when i fill up the tank the level sensor doesn't go past a quarter of a tank now, it drops rapidly and i have even now ran out of gas when it says it has gas in there or miles till empty. this is a known problem, maybe it should be fixed.

While driving the vehicle the driver noticed that the vehicle became shaky and was difficult to control nearly causing the driver to go off the road. driver took the vehicle took vehicle to have it checked out, upon further inspection, discovered that the rear subframe had nearly rusted completely through.

Incident 1: turned my car on and let it warm up to operating temperature, started driving, speed limit went from 25 , 35 , 45 . once i was coasting around 45 mph my vehicle lost power completely while in motion, locking my steering wheel. came to a stop in the middle of the road and car would not turn over. engine light code p0335 was read from my fixd app. replaced sensor and all was fine for about 10 days. incident 2: driving down a road going 30 mph up a hill my car again, lost power and steering wheel locked while in motion, brakes were very stiff and i was almost unable to stop my vehicle from rolling down the hill backwards. checked my code reader and again, code p0335 was the issue again. replaced another crankshaft position sensor. incident 3: was stationary at a busy city intersection when my 2006 nissan murano again, lost power and would not start. my vin number is not on the list of recalls but i feel as though it needs to be. there are other makes/models of nissan that were recalled for this extreme safety issue.

My 2006 nissan murano stopped in the middle of the road with no warning. i was almost rear ended by several cars and i had both of my kids in the backseat of the car. this is the third time that my car just dies while i was driving. this is so dangerous i hope nissan corrects this problem before someone gets killed

Broken seat frame - drivers seat (left rear) while driving down the highway, i heard a pop, the next think i knew the seat & i was leaning to the left wobbling back and fourth. car should be recalled..

I went to drive my car in the morning and it didn't turn on it had been running fine the whole time ive had it. i purchased this vehicle in 2015 it had 103945 miles on it. it now has 118k on it and once the battery was charged we proceeded to replace it. the next day it started up got me to work , as soon as i was getting ready to leave work it was completely dead. it took over an hour to jump it and finally get it going. as soon as i got home and parked it, once again completely dead. i have been told it is the alternator by several people and have not had time to get it in to a shop as i work difficult shifts to correlate with what is available for most shops to provide. i do not want to have this issue fixed and then have it happen again the next day as i have read several complaints here stating they fix the alternator just to have it happen again. has this year and model had any recall in regards to this issue as i have purchased a brand new battery to have it stone dead the next day.

I've been having a problem with the power driver's seat in my '06 nissan murano. it is loose and shifts side to side when i turn corners. i contacted my dealer and they said that the lifter link slide assembly was broken and would need to be replaced at the tune of $600. there is a tsb (technical service bulletin) out on this exact problem. since my vehicle is out of warranty, nissan north america has refused to fix it and therefore, own up to this safety issue. i would hate to see what would happen during a crash. i filed a complaint if you have had this same thing happen with your nissan

Drivers side visor drops ever time you hit a bump in the road. if you are not ready for it, it can be a safety issue.

Drivers side power seat broken. this is the second murano i have owned with the same problem. i have noticed online that this is a very common occurrence. definite safety issue.

Started the engine about 1 month ago before pulling out of my driveway and the airbag light started blinking and remained on ever since. took the vehicle to a nissan dealer to have it checked. initially they told me nothing was wrong with the airbag so they reset the light and charged a $75.00 diagnostic fee. but as soon as the technician returned with the vehicle the light came back on again. he took it back to the repair area and after 2 hours he came back and said the airbag computer is malfunctioning and is not able to recognize the vehicle. he stated that it would cost $1500.00 to replace the air bag computer which my warranty does not cover and i don't believe that this problem should be a customers responsibility as air bags are important safety features which should not just randomly malfunction especially since the vehicle has never been involved in any accidents whatsoever. i asked if there was a recall on the airbag and he said no, i also asked if this is recurrent problem for other consumers with the same vehicle and he responded that he does see this problem quite often with the same vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving various speeds, the driver seat began to shift forward. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the seat frame failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 154,000. ....updated 08/08/16 *bf the dealer informed the consumer, the entire seat and base needed to be replaced at a cost of $900.00. updated 08/10/16.*jb

Front driver side seat adjuster frame broke while driving. seat was wobbling like a roller coaster ride from right to left. contacted nissian customer service and nothing they can to about it. contacted nissan of burlingame, ca and the seat adjuster frame part runs $1450.00-$1600.00 plus installation. such a dangerous accident prone defect should be on a recall list. nissan also said they could not help out financially on any repair work/installation fee's to replace defective seat frame. they were curt and abrupt. i mentioned i had read on car repair complaint sites that many people have had this problem and was told they don't read car repair sites.........

Drivers broke away from rail when applying brakes to avoid front-end collision. nissan will not force the oem johnson to make repairs. not good pr. nissan will not repair, either.

A bracket under the driver seat left rear side snapped. it occured in the process of pulling off to drive.

P0463 code needs a recall

Front driver side seat is broken. it leans to the left . this is so dangerous . such a safety hazard. and nissan corporate was no help. told me i had to pay for a diagnose test. and have them send it in and they would look at it. and would get back to me.. not a happy person.

My 2006 nissan murano seat frame is broken. i called nissan and they told me their is nothing they can do. this is a common problem with 2006 nissan murano. 1000's of complaints and no recall yet. this is very sad when a company can't stand behind a defective product. god forbid someone gets into an accident. first thing that will happen is me or someone with same problem flying out the window bc of a defective seat frame. i've purchased about 5 nissans in my life time. never again will i purchase from nissan. a defect seat should be a recall.

My nissan murano seat belt air bag light flashes constantly when i snap my seat belt this is while the vehical is in motion. while at nissan dealership for oil change i was told by technician that there is no horn sound on the vehical.when i tapped the horn it does not work at all when the car is not is in motion or stationary.

Sunvisor is loose and drops down impairing my vision with no practical means of tightening it.

When vehical is in motion the sensor light for seat beats continue to flash all the time and there is the sensor light for tires flashes and stays on never going off. both little light on dash board. my car is peeling its clear coating on the top of trunk opening bythe 3rd light.

Transmition will not shift gears. according to nissan dealer vehicle needs transimition replaced. nissan corp. will not admit problem. they claim it is my responsibility to replace transmition at my expense.

Drivers seat frame has broke during operation multiple times after repair. most recently on a busy city interstate. total cost of repairs has been $360. not only has this been a safety issue while operating the vehicle, but a financial burden as well as comfort issue when driving. nissan and nhtsa are aware of the defect yet fail to correct the problem or issue a recall.

Left rear seat bracket broke

Driver seat rear left bracket broke after 134,000 miles

Seat suddenly dropped to the drivers side in the vehicle against the door. this sudden change in position caused me to swerve the vehicle nearly missing the car next to me in the other lane. if this seat was to fail completely i could have been thrown backwards in the vehicle losing the ability to press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and this would have resulted in a crash of the vehicle. this vehicle is used by a 160 pound woman and even though has some age has only 43,000 original miles on the odometer. it is used strictly for pleasure driving on the weekends. this failure occurred while travelling on a highway at highway speed and rounding a corner. upon reviewing the many many things that have been written up on the internet about how pervasive this problem is there is no reason that a poor design on the seat lifting frame has resulted in a catastrophic failure of this part and nissan has now redesigned the part to reinforce the seat frame part ot make it more sturdy. this redesign means to me that they recognize there is a problem with the original design and they should be held accountable fo rthe repair not tell consumers they need to pay to have it repaired at a cost of between $1,000 and $2,500. that is ridiculous.

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).

Driver side seat frame or bracket broken resulting in loose seat that occurred while driving and almost resulted in an accident. the driver side seat frame or bracket on the left side rear part of the frame broke resulting in the seat dropping about 3 inches down on the back left side.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the alternator failed while driving 50 mph, causing the vehicle to experience a complete loss of power. the brake and battery lights illuminated within two miles of the failure occurring. in addition, the driver seat mount detached. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the alternator failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred two times. the vehicle was also taken to an independent mechanic where the seat was welded. the manufacturer was aware of the issue. the failure mileage was 65,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving out of the driveway at about 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle accelerated when the air conditioner was turned off and totally lost power when the air conditioner was turned back on. the contact turned the air conditioner off and drove home. the vehicle did not restart and was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the alternator needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was repaired. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 120,000.

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.

Drivers window stopped working ,will not go up and down. i had a repair shop look at it they stated the switch was fried as well as the motor. it was smoking and could have caused a fire. have you ever had a complaint like mine? #2 the display screen is stuck on tire rotation,and my navigation system is not working.fuel gauge is erratic. can't have it repaired due to costs.

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.

Seat has broken loose on left side and rocks side to side. i have contacted both the dealer and nissan corporate and been told the vehicle was out of warrant an therefore they would do nothing.

Air bag light started flashing constantly and have noticed that one of the back seat belt locks do not work now.

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.

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!!!

Driver seat frame (rear) has broken.

Driver side sun visor suddenly fell downward at highway speed while driving obstructing view. nissan states not a problem, and not a recall, and no way to fix . this is a safety hazard.

Driver's seat rocks back and forth as if it's off the track. very dangerous!

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated the vehicle stalled intermittently without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the dealer replaced an unknown component. the failure recurred shortly after the repair. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated the fuel pump needed to be replaced. the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 65,000.

Driver seat broke during driving on highway coming around a curve. the movement was quick, had to hold onto steering wheel to maintain control. took next exit off to gather what just happen. that's when i rock the seat and knew it was broken. i was driving back from out of town and had over 140 miles to make it home. i had to drive with caution, because i wasn't for sure if the back would fall back into the rear seat. my passenger google for information on youtube and found this had happened before with other murano. the manufacturer has not issued any recall on a defects with their seats. nissan has not informed me on any recall with this vehicle. some type of assistance with this major equipment need to be address quickly. driving with a seat falling from you can cause serious injuries to the individual and others. safety of customers should be a major priority. nissan manufacturer need to step up an own responsibility for their defect. i own other nissan vehicle and have family members that own nissan vehicle, we or disappointed with how nissan is handling their customer. *tr

I have replaced the wheel bearing twice in one yr, the pinion has been repaired as well. *tr

Horn stopped working, air bag lights stay on all the time. nissan claims there is no recall on these parts. *tr

I was driving and i stop in a red light . a car hit me in the back and i feel the seat went down from one side. pl ease they need to check this. and also. *tr

I bought the car used in 2010 and by 2011 the seat had locked in position and brought it in to a nissan dealership to get it repaired since i bought the extended warranty. i was told that the problem was not covered in the warranty but they would fix it for $1300 and i chose at that time not to get it fixed, not knowing that there was a defect in the seat frame design by nissan. upon research later, i found out that year model and make had a defective seat frame and it would eventually break on one side. sometime in 2013 it sure enough broke and when i went to renew my inspection sticker last week i was told that i was rejected because of the seat movement. i called nissan consumer affairs and asked if they could help me out in any way to help fix the seat frame (which is now estimated at over $1500 to fix) because it is their faulty design, and was denied any assistance what so ever. so now i have a broken seat and an out of date inspection sticker and nissan will not offer me any assistance for the cost of repair and denies any knowledge of any problems with the seat frame for that year model. the man at the inspection sticker place told me it is an unsafe driving condition driving like it is which is why he would not give me the inspection sticker because when he applies the breaks, the left side of the seat slides forward. how can a automobile dealership as big as nissan deny this and not offer any help to fix the problem is beyond me. i want to tell this to all nissan owners and i would not own another nissan if i got one for free. i do not have the money to get the seat frame repaired and i use the vehicle every day to go to and from work, i am not sure what other options i have other thatn to drive unsafe and with an out of date sticker. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving approximately 35 mph, the contact heard a loud abnormal sound and the driver side seat bracket fractured. the failure recurred on multiple occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer. the technician diagnosed that the seat bracket failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 97,000. the vin was not available.

While driving on the freeway at 65 mph we heard a loud pop and the driver seat started sinking to the back left my husband and i got so scared because he could not reach the pedal or the break when this happened. we were in the car with 2 small children. he pushed himself as much as he could practically seating in the air over the seat to reach the pedals to get off the freeway. i can say that we have never experienced something so scary and dangerous we could of crash. i contacted nissan usa and explained the entire incident and they asked me to take it to the nearest dealership to access the damage. i went in the next day only for them to tell me that it was $1,400 to repair the seat frame. the worst was the mechanic admitting that this happens often in the nissan murano. i called them back and they referred me out to a different department just to let me know that it was not in their budget to fix my seat. like if they were doing me a favor and i was asking for something absurd. this is insanely dangerous and is a manufacture defect on nissan part. there is so many complains of the same issue and no one is doing anything about it. nissan is more than aware of the problems if their own people are saying it. we need to start holding them accountable for this issue. because this is very dangerous and is happening way to many times. if the freeway was busier that day we would of crash, unacceptable!!

Driving on i95 and hear a pop and the driver's seat shifted about 5 degrees to the left and the back left corner dropped. when i turned to the right, it felt like the left side of the seat would raise up then drop back down as i completed the turn. i took the car to the bel air (md) nissan dealership the following monday. they found the driver side seat bottom weld had broken causing the seat fame to bend and slit. they installed gusset and welded. cost $757.08. i contacted nissan customer service telling nissan i thought this was a safety issue and the seat frame on an 8 year old car with less than 81,000 miles should not break unless it was under designed or was defectively made. nissan assigned a case number of 16837975 and said they would get back to me. they got back to me on 12/17/2014 stating nissan would not reimburse the cost and nissan was not responsible because of the infrequent of occurrence but would not tell me the number of occurrences. *tr

The air duct (pipe) coming from the air filter unattached itself causing the computer to shut down the engine. this happened while car was moving causing loss of steering and brake loss. *tr

While driving, i heard a pop come from under the driver's seat and the seat collapsed to the left rear. i'm assuming that this is the seat frame issue that hundreds of thousands of murano owners are complaining about. *tr

I had my vehicle towed to a local nissan dealership to get a key made for it, since i had lost the key. the vehicle was in operation up to date. after getting a key made by the dealership, the key will not turn in the ignition for it is locked. the dealership told me that i now need to purchase a steering lock to get it fixed. the murano i purchased was from a used dealership and i was unaware of any recalls and did not receive any letter to date for the recall on the steering lock since i have had it. there was a recall done on the nissan murano's in the 2006 date range for this same reason. i would like it to be fixed free of charge since i did not break it to begin with. *tr

My seat has dislodged from the base in the back left of the drivers side seat just as many others have as well. i noticed it while driving around town when the seat rocked out of place. i took it to the dealer the next day to have it inspected. they said it was a failure and needed to be welded ($500) or the seat needed replacement ($1500). i asked if this was a common problem, and they responded no. since it seemed so far beyond a normal issue with a vehicle, i decided to contact nissan north america to see if there was a recall or if something could be done to help. after a week long investigation, nissan offered no help. they were vague as to my inquiries if this had happened to other vehicles of the same make. after some further research i came across safecar.org, and found it to be a common problem. moreover, to find that an investigation took place already on the issue and was closed with no action is ridiculous and negligent. does there have to be a major accident for this issue to be taken seriously? i hope the case gets reopened and the issue is prevented going forward. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the air bag warning illuminated. the failure had recurred several times. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. the technician diagnosed that the air bags needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Wile driving casually, the seat felt like dislocating off it's track and leaned forward and to the right. i pulled over when possible and observed that the seat is loose on its rear left side and rocks freely towards the front. electrically it functioned as usual. my garage mechanic (not a nissan dealership!) checked it and found out the metal frame of the seat is broken. he warned me of keeping driving it and said he could not fix it but will look for a body shop or some one who will. i went online to research it and learned that this is a common well-known safety violation by the manufacture, which unfortunately, or in a unexplained other reason, was never recognized as an official safety recall. i want to add my voice so it will be taken care off. before more people will be hurt. *tr

While driving to office one day on interstate 495, i heard a popping sound and later realised that the seat does not move forward and broke on one side. the bracket which holds the seat and this seems to be a common issue with nissan murano. the warrenty ahs expired and dealer does not want to fix this. *tr

The sun visor on both sides of nissan murano keeps falling and especially while driving. this is a very common issue and nissan needs to address. *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

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

Driving about 20 mph when i heard a big bang. thought my tire blew out. then the car started to make a continuous flapping sound. at one point it made my transmission shift, to the point that it made the car jump like if i got hit my a car in the rear. had to tow my car to the nearest mechanic to find out it was my transfer case. *tr

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

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 have the part number on the work order from sears. nissan denied my request. nissan claim number is 1468c472. approximately june 10, 2014. i would like your help in seeking reimbursement from nissan since i had to pay for the replacement tank and labor. my local nissan dealer in bowie md also denied my request.

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

Seat bracket broke on drivers seat. nissan dealer said it wasn't their problem. this is a common safety issue with this model car. i've seen hundreds of complaints on this same issue all over the web. i'm contacting the philadelphia inquirer to see if the ntsb holds nissan accountable or treat this like gm's safety issues. *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while the vehicle was parked, the front driver side seat tilted when occupied because the seat frame fractured. the dealer stated that both front seat assembly links and motors needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Left rear of drivers seat collapsed while making a right hand turn. this caused me to jerk the steering wheel to the left, almost hitting multiple children who were walking home after getting off the school bus. i only weight 218 lbs and my wife is barely 100 lbs. this seat should not collapse under normal use and normal adult weights. i am sure if i had gotten in an accident the seat would have broken loose and serious injury would have occurred. nissan is aware of the problem and has done nothing to correct the problem. nissan wants $1400 dollars for the repair. nissan placed a rejected inspection sticker on the vehicle due to the broken seat. i can no longer drive the vehicle until the seat is repaired. youtube has multiple videos of this happening on other muranos. *tr

While driving, i heard a loud "pop" and the driver's seat slumped back and left, toward the window. it jarred my position in the car, causing my grip to change on the steering wheel. as a result, i veered into an adjacent traffic lane. thankfully there was not a vehicle in the adjacent lane. i then became preoccupied as to whether the seat was lose and whether it would tilt further, causing a more hazardous situation while driving. i was only a few blocks from home and was then able to better inspect the situation of the faulty seat. the nissan dealership identified the fault as a broken lifter link assembly. *tr

While driving at about 30 mph my drivers side visor suddenly came down so as to block my vision of the road ahead. this startled me and distracted me while i flipped it back to its normal up position. however it did not stay up. nissan dealer told me this is a common occurrence and is about $250 to replace the visor. to this day it will stay up for awhile but will come down especially if it is warm in the vehicle. this is very annoying and potentially dangerous. *tr

Started noticing that the driver side visor would drop down for no reason. i now have the same problem on the passenger side. i have had numerous occasions with near misses with other vehicles because of this thing falling down. they have big adds about texting while driving and its dangers. how about a complete loss of vision @ 70 mph. i have contacted nissan many times and have never gotten a reply. i have visited nissan murano forum sites. there are a lot of other people with the exact same problem. i would think that nhtsa would want to work to prevent a death rather than waiting until someone or a family is killed because of these visors. but then again if that death was caused because of the visor, how are you going to know. their dead. please do something. *tr

When my husband got into the driver's seat and started the car, the seat broke. one of the rails is bad and the gear that moves the seat is stripped. this is the second time the seat has broken and after research, it is a common problem. both times the car was stopped but if we were moving it could have resulted in a crash. *js

The vehicle began to sputter and then had loss of power. transfer case assembly and cvt are damaged. *tr

Metal bracket holding seat broke on left side rear. causing seat to lurch to rear and left while driving. defective metal bar. snapped off where it attached to left seat frame. no weld. preliminary research finds hundreds of these complaints on internet. http://www.carproblemzoo.com/nissan/murano/2006/seat-broken-problems.php thank you. *tr

My 2006 nissan murano was purchased used march 2013. since then, i have put over $4,000 worth of repairs into it and i am still having problems. the latest issue is the car having no power when pushing on the accelerator and it will surge when you finally get it to go. i've replaced fuel filter, catalytic converters, transfer case just to name a few of the repairs. i am in the repair shop at least 2x/month! now i read where there are many others having the same problem and nissan ignoring the complaints! i now have a car i am making a huge car payment on that i cannot drive! plus i do not have the money to replace the transmission! i work in hospice and i drive to see patients every day and now i have no vehicle!!!! so it is now affecting not only my personal life but my work environment!!!! *js

The sunvisors will not stay up and cause great distraction and low visibility. *tr

The hinge mechanism that keeps the sun visor in the up position, fails causing the visor to randomly fall while i'm driving. this causes me to be startled & also is a visibility problem. this should be a safety recall! after eventually getting so bad it would not stay up at all & then finding out it would cost $300+ to replace, i'm stuck using a velcro strap attached to drivers side "o-s@&t" bar to keep it up! *tr

The drivers seat came off the hinges. this could cause a very dangerous situation. how is it even possible that there is no recall for this problem. i did some research, and this is happened to many of their cars. hope someone ca help with this problem. *tr

My wife noticed that the driver's seat tilts backwards and rocks. i've also had this occur to me when i get in to drive the car. the seat sinks as a move it back before i drive. when no one is in the seat, you can actually rock the seat back and forth. when i looked under the seat i can see what appears to be a broken weld in the left-rear portion of the seat frame. i can only imagine what a new seat would cost. how this isn't a safety concern and not part of a recall is perplexing to say the least. *tr

Purchased my nissan murano 2006 in sept 2009.today, while sitting in mall parking lot, i heard a loud sound and the driver's front seat dropped to the left. unsure what had happened, i began to drive off and my seat began to shift left and right. could not stabilize at all! very very unsafe drive home!! this is indeed a safety hazard. i cannot drive my vehicle the way it is now. cannot begin to afford what dealer is asking for repair. what am i to do? the reviews indicate i am not alone on this crucial issue. nissan should be required to help the murano owners out. that obviously is a faulty part and the consumer should not be left holding the bag! please provide a remedy for this.

The sun visor flips in front of you to block your vision and that is very dangerous to involve in accident? nissan should recall it immediately before someone get hurt. *tr

The car lurches and pauses when i am going at very low speed and take my foot off the gas. the car does not cruise at low speeds and feels as though i am hitting the brakes. *tr

The metal frame under the driver side broke on the left side causing the seat to move, rock and bounce. this cause distractions and can result in an accident. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the driver’s side seat bracket fractured. the seat shifted and moved out of place causing the contact to swerve into other lanes. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that the driver’s side seat bracket needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 89,500 and the current mileage was 89,980. dr

The problem started with a popping sensation in the driver's side seat while driving. then over a short period of time the driver's seat started a rocking motion. shortly after that, while driving, the seat just dropped on the left side. when i got home my husband took a look and couldn't find anything off. it continued to rock back and forth. i finally took it to nissan who looked at it, told me what the problem was the "adjuster assembly, front" needed to be replaced. the cost $ 1350. i checked on line and found hundreds of people with the same problem. and there was no recall. how can that be? i was driving when the seat dropped. i was startled. however, this was not enough to deem the problem severe enough to have a recall. i would think nissan would just fix it because the problem was so wide spread. we bought this car new, 10 miles, in 2006. and it has been one thing or another. this car has 63,000 miles on it. serviced it as the manual specified. this car has never been taken on a long road trip. my daily commute to and from work is approximately 15 miles and garaged. for more than 2 years i worked from home so the car was not driven much. we know we will not buy a nissan or infiniti again. nor do we recommend it to anyone we come in contact with. *tr

Upon sitting in the driver seat, the frame snapped on left side and now rocks back and forth. i loved this car until now. it's a crying shame that a vehicle with very low mileage could have broken. i am not a heavy person nor do i abuse the vehicle. i drive one mile to work on a blacktop road! after reading all the complaints involving this same issue, i believe nissan should recall these vehicles and make it right with their customers. *tr

The driver's seat moves every time i stop or accelerate. nissan says it will cost 1300-1500 to repair. looking online this is a recurring problem with this car. the seat has been reported to actually break, causing the driver to end up in the backseat. mine hasn't done that yet. i feel this is a design defect that should be paid for by nissan, not me as this is not a typical repair that one can expect. this is a major safety risk and the car should be recalled! *tr

During my drive while exiting off the highway. the vehicle jumped/sped up on its own as if i accelerated. felt like a transmission slip. while approaching my exit, car just died out. i was able to steer off and put on my emergency hazard flashers. i tried to start the car, and it just cranked. i waited approx. ten minutes and i was able to continue slowly until the car died out again. experienced some hesitation along the drive home and with no warning, just a check engine light illuminating, the car died again. *tr

Fuel gauge started to failed and check engine light turned on. i took the vehicle to the dealer and quoted for replace the two failing fuel sending units $100 to inspect + $700/$800 part & labor. of course is not covered by nissan. how many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? i am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. after reading complaints about air bag warning lights, drivers seat collapsing, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, check engine light coming on due to fuel gauge failure, wiper motor/transmission going out. my nissan murano has all these problems and more. i cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. the fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. we love teh car but it should hole together better than this. theres are not items caused by high millage jut plain poor designs. seats breaking - no way, visors falling down - no way, fuel gauge failure - no way, air bag warning light - no way, wiper motor/transmission - no way - please help us!!!! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the driver's seat frame became fractured and the seat began to rock back and forth. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as being fractured from the track and needing to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 62,800.

Driver side seat made a pop sound and now seat wobbles. very irritated with this car. i have had several problems with this car since thanksgiving 2013. will not purchase another nissan in my future! with all the complaints with the driver seat breaking, nissan should step up and send a recall to have the seats replaced! i have seen several complaints with the seats breaking! *tr

Sitting at a traffic light, i heard a loud pop. i couldn't find anything just sitting there. about 20 minutes later, making a turn from a stop sign, as the tires hit the drainage rut in the road, i felt like i was being thrown from my seat. the loud pop was the shearing of a metal structural component on the seat track under the driver's seat. the movement in the seat was so much that, had i been rear ended, my head would hit the frame above the windshield or the windshield itself. nissan charged me $1700 for the repair, claiming i should not drive the vehicle because it was a safety issue. however, nissan corporation refuses to cover any cost of the repair. when contacted, they tell me they are unable to answer any questions about the component. *js

Sun visors will not stay up. constantly coming down and obstructing visibility while driving. very unsafe. *js

Left rear seat track broke causing the seat to lean and move back and forth. this vehicle is driven by a average person of appx 170 lbs. according to nissan this is getting to be a problem in other vehicles and a very expense problem to fix. why would this not be covered under a warranty or recall? *tr

Driver side seat is moving side to side after searching for "loose driver seat nissan murano" pages of videos and complaints came up of the seat mount breaking. after looking mine is showing signs of metal fatigue. all the articles show that it is now covered under warranty or recall. most people quoted 1000$ for repair. part alone 750$ a lot of people have resorted to taking it to welding shops because of the cost. i don't want this part to break while my wife is driving i can only imagine if she was in the process of turning when it snaps. can't imagine how such a common problem can be swept under the rug by nissan. thank you for your time. *tr

Driver seat bracket is broken.... seems to be a bad part. causes seat to rock while driving. *tr

While driving my 8yr old daughter and her friend in the murano, i went around a long left hand bend going 45 in a 50mph area - the back left bracket under my seat just snapped, which in turn made me lean back and to the left, of course this then effected my steering and for a brief instant pulled me into the opposing lane. thankfully there was no oncoming traffic and i managed to correct my position on the road. this bracket has since been redesigned on the more recent murano's to be much stronger and basically looks and works like the other 3 brackets (that don't snap). the bracket that snapped on my car is so thin and flimsy in comparison to the others it's a joke - and so dangerous. i did take my car back to the nissan dealer in durham nc - but they told me a straight up "no" we are not going to fix or do any kind of recall. (i guess there have to be more complaints/injuries/deaths before a recall is made). many instances of this can also be found online, but all seem to receive the same answer from nissan - "no" . *tr

Noticed seat was tilted to left and wobbly. upon accelerating or making turns the seat would actually rotate slightly toward the back left corner of the seat. took to dealer in feb and was told they have replaced "alot of them" and gave us an estimate of $1555.79 plus tax to repair. when asked about a recall due to potential danger, technician acknowledged danger but simply said his hands were tied because no recall had been made. gave us number for nissan consumer affairs but told us to expect a denial, which is exactly what we received. review of internet complaints and nhtsa website revealed many owners with same problem and some who faced seriously dangerous situations because of it. thankfully, no one has apparently been hurt yet, but the potential is certainly there. wanted to add our experience to the public dialog with the hope that nissan will reconsider its position.

Driver side seat completely collapsed to the left and back. after further research, discovered the seat frame is broken. *tr

While tuning slightly and looking backwards to back out my driveway, heard a loud crack and felt my seat fall backward. i brake and stopped my car. i then felt my seat fall forward.i exited my car and noticed the left front of my drives seat sitting on the flood. and that my airbag indicator had come on. after looking under the seat i noticed that one of the bars under the seat had snapped. i managed to tie some wire around to keep it in place. after taking my car in for servicing,my mechanic informed me that the auto has to be repaired before any state inspection certificate could be the issued. i asked how much this would cost, and after so research i was informed that this has happened to quite a few other owners of the same auto and that this is a nissan only part which cost $1,0000 for the part. after searching the web i have learned that is common among the nissan 2002-2007 and yet nissan will not recall! *tr

During driving on freeway, my drivers seat made a loud snap noise, the seat broke ,and dipped back and down to the left. my body was not moving at the time, i was sitting still. it was dangerous because as the seat broke it caused me to turn my drivers wheel and swerve on the freeway, into the next lane !!!!! this is a safety issue and is very dangerous !!! *tr

Was sitting in car waiting on someone when my driver seat suddenly broke on the left back corner of the frame. imagine if i had been driving down the highway and it suddenly just broke. could have easily have swerved or worse. nissan said the new seat frame cost over $1,200.00 plus approx. $300.00 for labor to replace with a new frame. this is a potentially hazardous situation if someone is driving down the highway when it breaks. thankfully i was sitting in a parking lot. *tr

As i was driving my vehicle on the highway the seat made a popping noise and collapsed toward the driver side door which in turn also forced my body to lean into the door and caused me to momentarily jerk the steering wheel barely avoiding a collision. the seat is now broken and forces you to sit leaning into the door as there is no longer any support. every time i turn or if i come to a quick stop the seat bounces like a rubber band making it difficult to safely control the vehicle. i can not imagine that this is a safe way to drive a vehicle and i would like to think it is not the way that the manufacturer tested or intended the vehicle to be operated. i've done a lot of research on the issue and found that the faulty bracket is extremely common in all the 2003-2008 nissan muranos. i also found that nissan makes a bracket that is much more sturdy and they charge you almost $1000 for the repair. this sounds like they are knowingly allowing their faulty and hazardous parts to be installed at the assembly line instead of using the upgraded bracket that is one solid piece of metal. this should be recalled immediately to avoid any further potential hazards. *tr

The drivers seat bracket, on the back left side of the seat, broke. i got out of the car and heard a loud pop. seat back down and the drivers seat moved up and down. as i read on line it has happen a lot in the same area it has to be a safety issue. *tr

I was turning the corner into my driveway and my seat rocked sideways. i immediately took my vehicle to the dealership on friday, saturday morning they told me part # 87450+a is broken and cannot be fixed. i believe this is a safety issue. i weigh only 125 pounds, this part must be weak to begin with. if there is a recall because of seatbelts there should be a recall when a seat becomes detached from your vehicle because of a part malfunction as well. *tr

Driver's seat got off track and no longer works. can not move the seat and seat is now wobbling. *tr

1/14/2014 front drivers seat rear bracket broken - this happen while driving but without an accident. i see that your agency inquired in 2008 but then drop it by 2009. have you not seen the numerous complaints online with this similar thing happening to much more than 14 people according to your report. can you reopen this case as it is a known and continuous problem? i called my dealer and the parts department knew the part number for this issue right away and provided it to me. seat frame #87450ca09a and cost $1000 plus labor to install. the service managers knew of the problem, but said they have only had a few to his knowledge. how many dealers across the country may have the same response and the numbers grow exponentially. i also called the nissan corp per the dealer at 800-nissan1 ( 800-647-7261). i spoke with[xxx]at ext [xxx]. he said there is no recall on the problem nor were they aware of it! (i find this hard to believe as this problem is known on the internet via forums, youtube and other locations.) he instructed me to go to the dealer for diagnosis and then the dealer could call them back to inform them of the problem to determine what action if any they would do. after i informed mark i was drafting an email to the ntsb he said he would escalate my case to a supervisor. i tried to speak to a supervisor however they were too busy at the time. my nissan case is #[xxx]. my vin is #[xxx]. can you assist with getting serious answers to this problem and digging into nissan to address and acknowledge this safety concern? a national recall would be a great start. i have seen recall for safety belts and since this is a drivers concern this should be addressed as well. thank you for your assistance and consideration. please advise. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that driver's side the seat would rock back and forth. the contact discovered that the driver side seat bracket was broken. the dealer was contacted in reference to the defect but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. the failure mileage was 72,000.

I've had a problem as described many times by fellow murano owners. after driving at freeway speeds and then slowing way down for traffic or when exiting the freeway the throttle becomes very unresponsive. it lags and then surges. this problem was apparent during the summer months last year. this also occurs occasionally in city traffic, when i am slowing to a stop near a traffic light. (fail safe mode?) recycling the ignition fixes the problem, at least for the short term. i have read that this may be a result of the pressure sensor in the transmission. this problem began two years ago as far as i can remember, but the nissan dealer that services my car has not informed me that they have detected any problem other than the transfer case seals are beginning to give out and will need to be replaced soon. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact was driving approximately 30 mph when the brake and battery sensor warning lights suddenly illuminated. the vehicle also would not accelerate. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the contact was informed that the alternator had malfunctioned. the manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that while driving various speeds, the front driver's side seat became completely detached from the frame, causing the seat to tilt and not remain in a secure position. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the seat bracket was fractured. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 112,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for routine service when the contact was informed that the power steering hose was leaking. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 48000.

Back left side of drivers seat bracket snapped while driving. at the time, lucky for me, i did have some recently purchased items placed on the back floorboard area which "lessened" the amount the seat could drop. the items were removed and i was unaware of the extent of damage until further driving. excessive rocking on turns and on local roads (to include driveways, parking lot entrances, speed bumps etc). drivers seat stability is without a doubt a safety necessity. recall this faulty item!!!!!!!! after researching this issue i have found that this is occurring too frequently and it is a safety issue. class action lawsuit? *tr

I heard a snap and the driver's seat is now leaning to the left against the driver's door. it rocks when car makes a right turn. *tr

I have a 2006 murano. i was driving road and my drivers seat drop to the left side. this almost threw me in the back seat. i had to swirl to keep from hitting a car. i had my kid in the car with me. i have been driving over 30 years and never has this happen to me. what is it going to take for nissan to recall this issue. how many people have to die in order to get this problem resolve. *tr

I sat down in my driver seat and the seat broke. *tr

I opened the door of my car and sat down in my seat to leave and heard a loud banging sound and my seat fell back. i got out to look, but could not see anything at first. as i drove down the rode my seat would rock back and forth when i hit bumps. it was the rear left side of my driver's seat. when i got home, i got a flashlight and looked under my seat, where i noticed the metal frame was broken in half. i googled this issue where i found that it is very common in nissan murano's 2003-2007. my car has 91,000 miles on it. *tr

The seat based weld failed on the left rear corner causing an unsafe condition. in researching this issue, there are many, many similar incidents reported on the web. this should be a recall condition as it renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. *tr

Bought the car, used in 2009. for at least two years chargers in car did not work. within last six months fuel gauge became inaccurate. there was another incident where the car just stopped, will look for details. but 9/24/13 driving up a hill, car came out of gear and stopped working. the part that was ultimately replaced was the instrument panel-part number 24820-cc20a. apparently, panel was not communicating with transmission properly. dealer charged us $1150 to replace. neither service manager or service coordinator has seen one which needed to be replaced. nissan accepts no responsibility. yes, internet full of comments about issues with transmission and instrument panel. these failures appear to be the result of faulty soldering or welding of connections. *tr

Both visors on my murano continually fall down blocking my view while driving. this seems to be a very common problem and i can't believe nissan won't step up to fix the issue. what's worse, they want to charge you $400 per visor to fix the issue. why won't the nhtsa step in to get this issue fixed? *tr

Drivers side seat frame failure. chair became very wobbly and my wife almost crashed the vehicle. she had to stop the car, lower the seat to the very lowest to flatten out the wobble, then she was able to drive home. driving this was compromises her ability to sit up higher and see more of the road. very dangerous and nissan needs to take responsibility. replacement for the seat 1200-1800, just the frame alone is 800. this is ridiculous and dangerous. *tr

When making a left hand turn, i heard a crack underneath the driver's side. afterwards the seat now rocks back and forth and lifts up when making turns. i have searched all over the web and it seems this is a known defect with nissan drivers side seats on some of their vehicles to the point that they issued a technical service bulletin. i am very disappointed with the fact that nissan is not standing behind their products. i drive a 2006 nissan murano and it only has 51,000 miles on it. the issue appears to be with the seat bracket lifter link assembly. *tr

Complained to nissan dealer and was told nothing wrong. complained at a later date and was told complaints have been made but no recall and if i wanted to pay for a complete gas system i could which would cost approx. $1000.00. when i get gas i have to get it when i am going home so i can shower due to gas spraying on me while pumping gas. almost every time i pump gas it stops like it is full and gas spews back. constantly have to move gas hose around and the gas nozzle to try to get gas. i have to have an extra set of clothes in my car because the gas smell makes me sick. one time i was sick all day vomiting because of this. this is dangerous and should be a recall.

Driving on the highway and a loud noise happened. driver seat leans to the left and as you make turns it moves back and fourth. very dangerous. i do not feel comfortable wearing my seat belt now. if i was to get into a accident the whole seat would go flying with me.

The driver's seat comes off the track that it is installed on- this creates quite a safety hazard for a driver as when they go around a corner their seat actually moves. i have seen numerous other complaints about this issue and have no idea why nissan has not done a recall and had the situation replaced or repaired. i'm not sure if the track the seat is on cracks or what occurs, but the seat comes off the track and is impossible to get back on- i have had repair estimates over $700 to fix this. it is certainly a safety issue for drivers and can impact their driving ability and possibly create an accident. *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the front driver's seat was not secured to the frame and remained in a tilted position due to the fractured seat mounting bracket. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the rear driver's side seat belt failed to retract. the seat belt also became abnormally tight around her child. as a result, the seat belt had to be cut in order to release the child and avoid suffocation. the contact mentioned that the child had bruises on his stomach but was not taken to the hospital. the vehicle was not taken to dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure and current mileage was 70,000.

I was driving home from my sons school in afternoon rush hour traffic when there was a very loud cracking sound and the car was jerking uncontrollably. i had to slow down to 10 miles an hour in a 45 zone to control the vehicle into safe haven. in my research this is a defect of the cvt transmission for nissan and i am concerned for the safety of someone who is less experienced or in an even more unsafe environment when this happens to them! *tr

Bought car used in may 2013. august 14 got into car in morning for work and seat felt wobbly. when i left work and got into car seat leaned back and towards drivers door. immediately drove to mechanics shop and was then told the seat support had broken again. had been welded once before and weld broke. when looking for a replacement seat read that this has happened so many times that nissan had made a replacement part that was a solid piece of metal that corrected the "y" shaped bracket that has broken repeatedly on many cars usually @ 75,000 miles. nissan did not give this piece to the muranos owners, instead sold it to them. furious and disappointed with nissan for not having a recall. people could die if they were driving on the highway and this happened. *tr

Currently have to replace the power steering hose. massive leak and using a bottle of power steering fluid every couple days. i have read and reviewed a minimum of 100 complaints of the exact same problem but nissan refuses to do a recall on this matter. i did not have any problems until my power steering quit working well on the highway going 55mph during a rain storm. i was very close to going in the ditch. this is not a $50 fix but a $450 fix and a problem that should not be occuring. i would be fine if it was a clamp that came lose or a bearing was leaking but for 100's of high pressure power steering lines to be faulty is a factory malfunction and should be recalled. thank you *tt

Faulty fuel gauge, fuel float or fuel monitoring system. i filled up the car and the gauge reads empty. it will erratically show different fuel levels ranging anywhere from empty to half-full to full. this is a safety issue because it is impossible to know how much fuel is left. after doing a brief internet search i discovered that their are multiple entries for this issue from other nissan owners. *tr

The driver side left weld bracket broke on my seat. no rot or rust. a serious design defect. the seat moves all around and is not secured to the vehicles frame any longer. in an accident would not keep driver safe. how on earth is this not a recalled issue ??!!!! i suppose your waiting for someone to die. *tr

I was rounding a curve in the road going about 25 mph and my seat track broke! i know this is a common occurrence via internet research. this is a major safety hazard! if i were to be in an accident, my seat would fail completely and i'd be badly injured or at worst hurled through the windshield!! this should be a recall!!!! furthermore, i cannot afford to fix the issue. the dealership has quoted me over a thousand dollars!! are you going to wait for a graphic death before you fix this issue. if you google how many people have complained about this, i'm sure you'll see it constitutes a recall! *tr

Nissan- murano's 2003-2010. while traveling at apx. 20 mph on straight road with a passenger, we hear loud pop, 2006 murano. thereafter, the drivers seat was leaning to the rear and off balance "rock like a rocking chair from side to side, leaning back on one side feeling like seat could just come off completely and out of line in its original configuration". after investigating further, a "defective metal bracing apparatus" that is supposed to support the seat and has failed on many or most of this class. corporate nissan tells clients "sorry car is out of warranty", or, not a covered item on limited warranties. nissan is aware this is an enormous problem, the magnitude of cars brought in, the safety issues, but continued to manufacture, produce, advertise, sell claim "repair" such vehicles. why not,"a great amount of money is made for every client coming in at their mercy for this defect". this part fails on normal wear and tear and can potentially cause a serious accident if someone is operating this vehicle at a higher speed. the car is not mechanically safe, and nissan is running a business on excessive charges on customers in the thousands to have " repaired". in addition, the repairs are not guaranteed and the same defective mechanisms that failed originally are used over again for repairs. manufacturing, sales and repairs continue thereafter for 7 years of money made at the mercy of customers. a recall should be instituted and restitution to all nissan owners that have or will be affected due to gross negligent liability on part of nissan north america. the (left rear support) mechanism is defective on drivers seat, and unsuitable to provide any support or withstand normal force. its made like "tin - foil" to support a driver. an immediate investigation, recall and class action should be instituted on all vehicles of this class! *tr

This has been happening for about a 2 years now. i decided i was tired of getting upset and slamming the visor on the top of the roof when i hit a bump and it falls. i am tired of driving 70 mph on the interstate and all of a sudden the visor drops and blocks my vision. i almost was in a wreck yesterday because of this stupid visor. i researched it and realized there are multiple other complaints about the nissan visor and this exact issue. someone is going to get killed with this stupid thing. *tr

The driver's seat suddenly leaned to the left while making a right turn. fortunately, it was on a side street and the vehicle was not traveling at a high rate of speed. after investigating the problem it was learned that the left side of the link assembly (seat frame) had fractured at the end of a poorly designed bracket. there is obviously an ongoing problem with nissan (see "murano seat" on the internet) in recognizing that a product recall should issued. however, what is even more frustrating is that nissan has changed the link assembly design, but will not sell that component separately. they are expecting the consumer to pay in excess of $1,000.00 to purchase the entire seat frame assembly with the seat motors included! if the nhtsa does not see this as a safety issue - than what is? *tr

I tried to park my car in a parking. it would not go into park; it would go no further than neutral gear. as a result, because i could not go into reverse i had to drive over a median to exit the parking lot. i subsequently discovered that transmission problems are endemic with this make and model. why have you not ordered nissan to issue a recall? *tr

The drivers side seat collapsed to the left . after inspection ,discovered the seat weld broke . i contacted nissan and was told to bring in to a local dealer for inspection . i told the nissan agent this is an extremely common issue with murano's from what i have read on the nissan forums. i will post as to resolution after dealer inspects failed seat weld. *tr

As i was driving down a residential back road i felt a spring or something brake under the left side of my driver seat. at first i thought a pithier spring gave out! i was wrong, one of the parts that holds my seat up and in place broke! i believe this is a defect and safety issue. i looked up this issue online and have seen that this has happened to a lot of other people including my cousin. i would like to see this safety defect resolved. thank you for your time *tr

My driver's side visor has suddenly decided to keep falling down. it will not stay in the upright position. it slowly works its way downward. when i hit a bump in the road the other day it just fell all the way down. this was while changing lanes and could have caused an accident due to the distraction and the visibility issues. i have the gold extended preferred warranty, and nissan states it isn't covered, yet i don't agree that it is a wear and tear item. i don't even use the visor enough for it to be worn and torn....i think it jut fails over time, perhaps due to heat from the sun. this appears to be a recurring problem based on the complaints actually filed here at nhtsa and the postings found online. a goodwill warranty program would seem to be in order here at the minimum. *tr

When my wife was driving the vehicle she heard a loud pop and suddenly the seat fell to the left again the drivers side door. she almost lost control of the vehicle and had to pull to the side of the road. when she got out of the car to see what happened she noticed that the seat was very unstable and when pushed to the center of the car with one finger was no longer attached to the floor of the car. when i was called to inspect the vehicle i found that the frame of the drivers side seat had sheared into two pieces and in fact she was right. the seat was no longer attached to the floor on the left side of the seat. i looked this up on the web and there are hundreds of complaints about this same thing happening to other americans who bought this car. note: this car is a 2006 but, my wife only drives it on the weekends and the car has very low mileage as indicated above. this is a very bad safety issue as the seat could now break loose on the other side and the whole seat could wind up falling into the rear seat area. this would definitely cause a loss of control of the vehicle when the steering wheel would be ripped out of the drivers hands and their feet would be pulled away from the gas and the brake pedals. *tr

My four year old son was sitting in the back seat when the seat belt wouldn't unlock ,my son was crying ,my husband couldn't get the seat belt to unlock ,it was very scary he had to cut it off ,my son stomach was red and swollen . *tr

Driver nearly lost control of vehicle when drivers seat structure snapped leaving driver out of alignment with steering wheel as well as gas and brake pedals.. note: this requires an immediate recall ....[xxx] human factors engineer, certified by u.s. government. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Driving through a bend in the road at approximately 40 mph and i heard a pop and felt the seat give to one side. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that there was a loud popping sound heard from under the front driver's side seat. the seat began sliding back and forth. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and the technician stated that the front driver's side seat frame would have to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 56,000. *tr

The driver side sun visor does not stay up. it keeps falling. i have spoken to nissan and they said it is not a warranty item. i have searched the nissan forums and read where one nissan mechanic, (metro273) said that this is a faulty problem with the sun visor and he has repaired many. to my point this presents a hazard for the driver because if the car is in motion and this thing falls down, the driver has to make a split decision by taking his eyes off the road to remove the obstacle that is blocking his or her view. nissan should warranty this item and replace it for free. *tr

2006 nissan murano has sun visors (driver and passenger sides) that drop down unexpectedly while car is moving. after much online research, it appears this is an ongoing problem with this vehicle and previous years' models as well. it is a safety hazard due to the fact that you never know when it will fall down and block the driver's vision. the cost to have this repaired at the nissan dealership is approximately $500. this is an excessive amount especially since the failure is caused by a small plastic piece that wears down from use. nissan has had plenty of time and opportunities over the years to correct this problem, but the company hasn't done so. my family will never purchase another nissan because of this issue with the sun visors. *tr

There is a known fact that the drivers sear on the nissan murano (2006-2011) has an issue where the drivers seat was poorly constructed and the seat frame snaps around 80,000 miles. my seat broke while driving at about 50 mph down the street, almost making my wife crash the car. i have contacted nissan, and they offered to pay 50% of the $1600 repair. not fair to me at all. i have escalated the matter to the regional team, and they offered no more help at all. reading other customer complaints on the internet, it appears that nissan isn't admitting to the poor construction of the seat, but has since changed the construction of the seat in recent models to a better construction of the frame where it should not break. this same complaint is all over the internet; several videos have been posted in regards to exact same claims. *tr

Metal frame holding seat to car has metal fatigue and has separated. *tr

I have problem with the sun visor left side was on the nissan office and they say i have to buy or repair the cost is like $500.00 they don't cover anything so if can help me to do any solution thanks. *tr

Sun visor left side. *tr

Nissan murano 2006 with 80 thousand miles in great condition,no fender benders. two adult drivers use car .our weight 175 lbs and 140lbs. while driving on a main street under 40 mph (limit 45) , coming up to a traffic light, i noticed my drivers seat started to bounce while trying to stop. when the seat comes back down it gives a thumping sound. short time later when i arrived home a shocking feeling came over me after i saw my driver seat bounce loose with only a push of a small finger. i was scared that my life was in danger ,if i had to do an emergency maneuver due to a non secure seat even with seat belts. then i realized i could have placed other people in harms way by having my seat break off and flipping backwards and not being able to reach the brakes. a scary thought .i would never forgive myself if i harmed some one even to having an oem seat break loose. please recall or inspect all murano front seat frames. *tr

As i entered my vehicle i noticed that the driver seat was loose and could be easily lifted with one hand. on closer inspection i saw that the welding is broken on the seat frame assembly. i contacted nissan consumer and twice they informed me that there is nothing they can do about my situation because my warranty has expired. the local dealership quoted $2,476.68 plus tax to replace the driver side seat slide assembly and adjuster, along with the replacement of the plastic side finishers and nissan refuses to even consider offering assistance in payment. right now i'm driving with a piece of 2x4 and some screws to hold my seat in one position. this is not a light-hearted matter. nissan knows they are negligent and refuse to issue a recall on these seats. my most precious cargo is my 3 yr. old granddaughter. every time i buckle her in her car seat, i pray to god that there will not be a collision of any kind. this matter needs to be addressed now - not after an accident and/or death caused by the seat coming completely apart and me not being able to stop the car safely. my family does not want compensation following my granddaughter and/or i being hospitalized or killed. we need this matter to be addressed immediately for the safety of all drivers/passengers of this make and model car. *tr

I was driving out of my neighborhood when i heard a loud pop under the drivers side chair. i can now lift my entire drivers side seat off of the right side of the track. after i did further research i found this is a common issue with 2003-2009 muranos. the metal bracket holding the seat onto the track breaks due to the metal being too thin. i have read well over 250 complaints on the same issue with muranos. nissan refuses to fix since a "campaign" (i.e. recall) has not been issues. i was quoted $1000 to fix the issue. this is a safety issue and irresponsible and negligent on nissan's part to not recall the muranos. i took my car to 2 nissan service centers and both managers knew about this issue and said its common problem. one even went so far to call the part "defective" yet nissan will do nothing about it. i can only assume this defective part is on other seats in the car. it?s a matter of time until a seat breaks and falls off the track while on the highway causing potential deaths. nissan is negligent and irresponsible. i will not buy another nissan. they do no stand behind their cars or have their consumer?s best interests in mind. there should be a recall on this issue based solely on safety issues. below is one of many complaint sites about this issue: http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2006/nissan/murano/seat. *tr

Vehicle was traveling at approx. 30 mph when the front driver's seat gave way causing the driver to lean to the left hitting the left front door. driver was able to maintain control of said vehicle but became alarmed at the sudden nature of the event. it appears that a bracket supporting the seat broke. internet research and discussions with nissan customer service (local facility) is very aware of the seat problem. there have been numerous reports of failed brackets with the 2003-2009 murano. to date, i believe there have been no fatalities caused by the sudden breakage, but in i my humble opinion, it is just a matter of time. i am stunned that there has not been a recall. nissan should take the initiative and be proactive and have said vehicles fixed. *tr

While driving on interstate at 70 mph, in the left lane of a 6 lane highway my driver's seat suddenly buckled, snapped, and dropped towards the door. i immediately panicked, afraid to take my eyes off the road i began working my way to the extreme right lane to pull over and see what had just happened. with no prior indications of any problems my sit just suddenly broke and i was leaning on the driver's door while driving. when i took my car to my nissan dealer i was told there were no recalls for this matter, later i learned this to be a common nissan problem. i was charged $149.00 for part and $272.14 for labor to have 87473-ca01a :link assy-rr li installed. since this repair the bottom seat molding is now hanging off my seat, i have been told i need to purchase a new seat frame also!. *tr

I am having trouble with the visors in my vehicle, they keep dropping while driving, its very dangerous, it falls at any given time and i try to keep it up by holding it while i'm driving . i was online and could not believe the amount of people that are having the same problem, it was not covered by the warranty or the extended, and now they are telling me the cost to replace one is almost $400. *tr

The seat mechanism has broken 2 times. it may not be safe. the drivers seat seems loose something that holds the sliding parts breaks. seems to be a common problem with these vehicles. i could see where in a crash the seat may fail to hold its position. *tr

When i was driving my car, just reach to main road and heard a noise and driver seat bent down from left rear. look like driver seat frame is broken from left rear side and seat is going down on left and tough to drive. went to dealer he said you can't drive its safety concern. *tr

The driver's side sun visor does not stay in place, and several times has fallen down obstructing my vision while i have been driving. from searching online i see that this is a widespread problem with the nissan murano and is clearly a manufacturing defect. nissan dealers want over $400 to replace the visor... €” what's the point of replacing it with one that will likely have the same problem? this more than just an annoyance, it is a real safety hazard that will result in accidents and people getting hurt or killed, if it hasn't already. i'm amazed there hasn't been a recall to fix this problem. nissan, do the right thing and recall this faulty part or this will absolutely be the last nissan vehicle my family ever buys. *tr

My power steering pump has malfunctioned and the hose has a hole in it. the leak has cause a belt to pop while i was driving. i did not know what happened until the truck battery killed over and a mechanic helped me while the vehicle disabled. i also know of three other nissan murano owners who have had the same problem. two of them have paid a large amout to fix this problem and the other traded in the vehicle because of the problem. this is a defect with murano and i googled this issue and noticed that this is a common problem with this vehicle. *tr

There was a popping noise under my seat and then all of a sudden the driver's seat sagged to the back and left towards the drivers side door. i got out of the car and checked the seat. it rocks back and forth now because the bracket that holds the seat is broken. my seat literally falls all the way down to the car floor now. i decided to look this problem up online and i was astounded to see that there are literally thousands of 2006 nissan muranos with this exact same problem with the exact same signs and symptoms as what i had. what was even more incredulous to me was the fat that nissan hasn't put out a recall for this issue and expects the consumer to pay for the seat which apparently is going to cost me up to $1500 for the seat. this is a factory defect and nissan should put out a recall to fix this problem. it makes the car very hard to drive and can cause the drive to jerk to the left when the seat lunges backwards possibly causing a serious accident. on the news today there was a recall for a child's item that only had 6 complaints and they recalled it. nissan has had thousands of complaints and nothing. *tr

I was driving from work, when i heard a loud popping sound unknown where it was coming from so i pulled over to inspect my vehicle. as i exited my seat i notice that the driver side seat was leaning / rocking to the left side and apparently something had broken. i notified nissan corporation offices where i spoke to a customer service representative to see if it was a recall on this vehicle for the diver side seat. i was told that there were no recalls but take to the nissan dealer and have it looked at then do a follow up call with him afterwards. i then went on line and notices that it was thousands of people that were having the same problem that i was experiencing. i could not believe that there was no recall. this is most definitely a safety issued and i don't know what it is going to take before nissan realize it. *tr

I was getting out of my nissan murano to pick up my child from school. when i got out i heard a strange pop/crack noise and the seat was titled to the left back. i opened the back door and looked under the seat and found that there was a piece of metal that had broken. this caused the seat to fall backwards and to the left. i was unable to drive it until i found a plastic cup tall enough to hold up the back left corner of the seat so i was able to drive us home. i'm a single mother barely making it and cant afford a $1200 repair. especially when there are hundreds of the same complaint. the dealerships other complaints have stated that it is a common issue. this common issue, had i been driving would have caused a wreck and the manufacturer will take no responsibility. i purchased this used and now i know why the prior two owners got rid of it. i also was under the impression that nissan cared about the people purchasing their vehicles. i wanted a safe truck to transport my child. there needs to be a recall and nissan should replace the bracket free of charge knowing that this is an issue. *tr

Weld broke on driver seat adjuster assembly (bracket/frame). apparently, a very common problem. *tr

I was driving with my cousin on our way to lunch when i heard a noise that sounded like i ran over a plastic bottle. i then learned that the drivers seat had broke. i called consumer affairs nissan at 1-800-647-7261 on january 3 2013. the customer service rep asked for my vin# to see if i was under warranty. once she located the info and found that my warranty expired i told her that i wanted to file a complaint against nissan. i didn't stop there i notified the bbb along with the attorneys general office and the nhtsa. i was told that because my warranty was expired i had to have 9 other people in my area who had the same issue come forward for there to be an investigation. it will be 3 months on the 28th of march that i'm still riding around with a broken seat. i did have the seat welded but it broke after 6 days. *tr

I was driving down the highway with my girlfriend and 4 year old daughter in the car. we were driving into a curve to the right and i heard a loud pop. at the same time the driver seat which i was sitting in fell back and to the left causing me the jerk the wheel. we shot across the other lane spun around and skidded to a stop. luckily, no cars were coming the other way . i didn't think much of it at the time until i finally got around to being able to afford to fix it (being a nissan i knew it wasn't going to be cheap) , i discovered that this is a common problem with the 2006 nissan murano. and that mine was not an isolated incident. i came across hundreds of complaints of this problem, so it makes me wonder after my ordeal, how long before somebody gets killed from this obvious defect. , nissan has to be aware of it ,but still there has been no recall for the american public . please tell me someone is on top of this because its not a tire pressure sensor or a head lamp fuse, this is the driver seat .is there any more important thing in the car than keeping the driver in control ? i think everybody would agree no. someone please do something. *tr

My wife was driving when the drivers side sun visor fell down impairing her vision. this caused her to scrape the passenger side rims on the curb. i believe it is now out of alignment. luckily no one was injured, but this could have caused a serious accident. i have read other complaints about this same issue. i believe the problem is not the visor it's self (although it is really heavy) but where it actually mounts to the ceiling. why nissan will not own up to this and correct the issue is beyond me? guess they don't really care cause the already got your money. *tr

As i was driving down the road i heard loud snap and the seat saged to the left. the left side of the seat is now considerabley lower that the right side and you can wobble the seat quite a bit, it no longer feels like it is attached to the car very well. it seems this could be a seriuos problem in an emergencey situation! *tr

This is the second time the driver's side visor has suddenly broken and come down to block my view in the middle of driving. i replaced the original for the same problem 3 years ago. seems the issue was not actually fixed. it now falls down regularly and suddenly blocks my view. i'm told its $400 to fix it again. why hasn't it been recalled? there is obviously a dangerous problem with these visors. *tr

I had just stopped my vehicle and opened the driver's door, to exit. as i began to exit, the back left corner of the driver's seat collapsed. i removed the seat control panel and observed the metal seat frame had broken. note: this is the second time, in the exact same location, this has happened in the past 4 months. the first time the nissan dealer where i purchased the car offered to weld it for just under $500.00 dollars or replace the frame for just over $1300.00 dollars. additionally, i purchased a "certification" with the vehicle when i bought it used (2009 with 7900 miles) and the certification, although still active, does not cover this part. if i had purchased a "gold" certification, it would have be covered. i opted to go to a local, full service auto body shop where it was welded for $150.00. i re-contacted the same local nissan dealer again and they offered to research the incident and attempt to help. two days later i was contacted and told that the local nissan consumer affairs representative denied covering any part of the repair. the nissan store then offered to pay 50% of the replacement cost citing my customer loyalty (purchasing 5 cars from them an another 3 from their group). *tr

My wife was driving about 40 mph and suddenly she heard a click and the driver seat sank to the rear left. the car went to the next lane but likely no one was close. my wife was able to take control back and put the car in lane. when she returned home, i checked the seat and it was broken at the rear left. quick check on internet and i found that it was a common problem with the murano. to my shock, there was an investigation but no recall was called. my wife was very close to an accident. if she was doing 55 mph on the crowded highway, we would have a different story to tell. does someone has to die for a recall!! *tr

I purchased a 2006 nissan murano from a reputable car dealer in dallas,texas on december 5, 2012. on or about january 22,2013, i was driving down the road at the above mentioned speed and heard a loud metal cracking sound. after the cracking sound, the seat became unstable and kept shifting back and forth. i took the vehicle back to car dealer and they checked the driver front seat and informed they would order a part to fix the problem. in the meantime, they anchored the seat, but two days later, the seat came loose again and i inquired about the part they said they would order. the salesman told me it was on order because the part was not available. several days later the salesman contacted me and said he had bad news, that they didn't have the part in stock and would have to back order it. i waited for a week and then the same salesman contacted me and said the seat would have to be replaced in order to fix the defect or that i should take it to a nissan dealer and maybe nissan would pay for the repair. after said conversation, i returned to my office and looked up this defect and found numerous complaints regarding these seats coming loose in the 2006 nissan murano, iand 2007 nissan murano. further, in the numerous complaints that i reviewed, not only did the complaints include the front driver seat, but the passenger seat as well at a cost of over $1,000.00 per seat. i strongly feel that nissan is obligated to recall the 2006 nissan murano and the 2007 nissan murano for the safety of the public and the owners of these cars. . *tr

The passengers and drivers sun visors suddenly began falling down as the vehicle is driving and goes over any dip or minor bump in the road. the visor drops and blocks the drivers view of the road. the same occurs on the passenger side. the visors will not stay up in the closed position. this is apparently a defect in the 2006 muranos and nissan should recall the murano for this issue. *tr

Drivers side front seat frame broke and the seat is loose and shifts side to side. this occurred when entering the vehicle when the vehicle was parked. this is an obvious defect and nissan should recall the 2006 murano for this issue. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that while driving approximately 72 mph, she heard a loud thump and the driver’s side seat fractured and moved from left to right. the contact received injuries to her hip. the vehicle was taken to a dealer. after diagnosis, they advised her that the front driver’s seat needed a new under carriage. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 118,000. the current mileage was approximately 121,000. the vin was unavailable.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact was driving approximately 55 mph when the front driver's side seat collapsed toward the driver's side door. the contact maneuvered to the side of the road and turned the engine off. upon restarting, the vehicle resumed with a fractured seat bracket. the vehicle was taken to an independent auto mechanic, who advised that the seat frame would need to be replaced. the technician welded the seat bracket back to the vehicle however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 88,000.

I sat down in the drivers seat, started to pull out of the parking lot and heard a cracking sound and felt the left rear of the seat drop down 1-2 inches. the seat rocks from side to side while driving. after looking in the area of the prior loud cracking sound, i found the left rear seat bracket is broken. this is very unsafe. there are hundreds of reports on the internet of this part failing in many years of the murano vehicle and an updated stronger part is now available. this has been an on going probelm with the murano and feel this type of incident should be the subject of a recall and repaired for no cost to the owner. *tr

While driving i heard a loud pop and the driver's seat shifted to the left almost losing control of the car i pulled over and the seat was loose at the base from the left side, at closer inspection the frame had separated and the metal framing had split. this issue seems too often with this vehicle the manufacturer should respond to these multiple issues and address. *tr

I was turning and notice that my seat was moving. rocking motion and is not secure. *tr

On 12/10/12 i was driving about 15mph when all of a sudden my vehicle started making loud clunking noises, brought the vehicle to my mechanic who inspected it and said they believed that it was an issue with the transfer case or transmission which should have been covered under the extended warranty. nissan is saying that the transfer case has no warranty even though they know that it fails. when asked why it failed the technician told me that nissan doesn't allow them to diagnose the failure just to replace it but unfortunately at my cost of $3500 why should i be responsible for this if they know its an issue and can not guaranty that it won't fail again! i can not afford not should i have to pay for nissans failure! this is a wide spread issue and nissan needs to make this right with the consumer. *tr

Upon starting vehicle in a.m., i heard a loud whine emanate from engine compartment. the sound was exactly like brittle leaves from a tree were rubbing on the moving belts. i turned steering wheel left and right and steering sensation seemed sporadic and irregular. i opened the hood and checked serpentine belt and power steering belt. i thought the belts may be glazed or have loosened or had a foreign object touching them. all looked okay but the noise remained. that afternoon i called my mechanic and made appt. my mechanic checked vehicle , added power steering fluid as he found there was a leak in the power steering pressure hose and said he would order a new unit and install as soon as possible. he said this is an extremely common part to fail on these muranos. within a few days the repair was complete, however it set me back four hundred dollars. i called nissan at 1-800- nissan1. the agent on behalf of nissan refused to accept responsibility, however did make a case number. i stated someone will be seriously injured or killed one day, but was met with the obligatory "we are not responsible". i called the dealer where i purchased the murano and was told nissan is well aware of the numerous failures of this power steering pressure hose, and it is extremely common. since there is no recall, there is nothing that could be done to assist me. *tr

Visors on the driver and passenger side will not stay up. *tr

Transfer case broke down 3 days after used purchase. warranty would not cover it, because they claimed it was a pre-existing condition. *tr

Driving e on mass pike at 65mph. pressed firmly on brakes and noticed driver seat shifted. after this seat seemed unstable and continued moving whenever weight was shifted to left side of seat. *tr after looking at seat under carriage noticed that the only steel frame support on left rear of seat is totally sheared off. follow up with nissan shows this is a $1000 repair and is a common problem, parts in stock.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the driver seat separated from the frame. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vin number was not vailable. the failure and current mileage was 94,000.

The sun visor suddenly dropped blocking my view of the road. it then would not stay up. the mechanism inside the visor itself is faulty. *tr

Heard popping sound on left side of driver seat a few days latter back left side gives way and seat rocks down. pulling seat off, found that rear bracket broke away from frame. in my opinion the rear bracket needs to be made of a stronger piece of steel or the size increased. have pictures of the damaged part. poor design and attachment. dangerous and unethical that nissan will not respond nor fix the problem. *tr

Front driver's side seat broke. it would lift on back left side. we noticed seat rocking from side to side. we thought maybe a bolt had broken? i took the car in to the dealership and they said the frame is bent/broken? and whole seat has to be replaced for $900. looking online it appears this happens quite frequently on nissan muranos. at that price i would chose to not replace the seat if i wasn't afraid that the seat will come off completely, sending me through the windshield. i am having it replaced next wed. i am disappointed in hearing that nissan is aware of this issue and hasn't issued a recall, they have only issued a service bulletin. it seems like a clear safety hazard and request it be looked into further. thank you *tr

The drivers side sun visor won't stay up on its own and it is a driving hazard and the pass. side is starting to fall down too. *tr

While driving down a residential street i heard a noise like something had cracked, and felt the driver's seat move. after pulling over, i noticed that the seat could be rocked back and forth by hand - it was no longer stable. upon further inspection, i found that the back left part of the seat bracket had failed. i was later told by the dealer that this was not covered under warranty and that the only solution available was to replace the entire seat, which was going to cost over $1,000. i found a website (http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2006/nissan/murano/seat) where 242 other complaints have been filed about this exact same issue. either the bracket or the assembly (welding) of it appear to be defective. this is a significant safety issue, because having a seat break while driving could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. *tr

Question first, how many complaints do you need to investigate a safety recall? i have a 2006 nissan murano with the driver side visor that won't stay up or when down won't say pushed against the window it just flops straight down. this causes a real safety hazard.. even when you push it to the side it causes vision problems. nissan needs to recall this or atleast not gouge people who need it replaced. it's not something you can ignore and fix later but at $500.00 it's robbery, i also had my window motor go out and it cost $500.00 which had to be fixed. i noticed multiple complaints about the visor would like an update on the investigation. *tr

Front driver seat has become disconnected from base. *tr

While operating the vehicle the sun visor drops down unexpectedly, completely obstructing the driver's view. this has occurred approximately four times since the first incident approximately four days ago. when this happens the driver's view of the road is completely obstructed and due to the sudden and unexpected nature of the sun visor dropping down this could easily cause an accident. it is very frightening when it happens. *tr

While driving my 2006 nissan murano i noticed a popping noise under the drivers seat and suddenly felt the seat rocking. after pulling over the side of the road i looked under the seat and noticed the metal bracket under the left side on the seat assemble had failed. the seat now leans severely to the left almost making the car impossible to drive without risk of swerving at every turn. definite safety issue and appears to be a common issue among several vehicle years. *tr

Sun visor does not stay up. it will fall down obstructing view when unexpected, especially for taller drivers. seems to be very common issue on the internet with nissan vehicles. i've had other vehicles recalled due to safety related issues that seem to be far less of a likely problem than this one. they likely don't get replaced because of their expense. *tr

There is a problem with the drivers seat frame. the metal ultimately breaks due to stress leaving the seat on a tilt . it also causes the back portion of the seat to not be stable. it is extremely dangerous to drive the car like this. upon investigation i found numerous sites on the internet outlining this problem. it is my opinion this is a safety issue and a recall should sent out. the dealer that i took my car to for repair was well aware of this issue and said that it had been corrected in new models but no recall had been issued due to expense to nissan. they did suggest a new seat frame for $1600.

Hesitation upon acceleration in heavy traffic, after any stop acceleration is slow and then suddenly accelerates rapidly. also shakes while idling. *tr

Hello - i have been reading multiple threads on the nissan forum, on facebook and elsewhere regarding nissan murano sun visors from 2006 and other years that "fail" and flop down.... on the passenger side this is not as much of a safety issue, however, on the driver"s side it is... an unexpected blocked sight vision coupled with traffic will (if it has not already) result in an accident, injury or death to someone....the two visors are not interchangeable. nissan will fix it (if under warranty) but they are counting on the failure happening after warranty and then charging a hefty price for a driver's side replacement, and/or human ingenuity to allow owners to try fix the problem them selves.... velcro does not work, switching visors leads to the "vanity mirror" door flopping down as well..... we have such an issue with our 2006 nissan murano... it should be required for nissan to recall and repair these on 2006 and other tears which use part # 96401 for a driver's side sun visor before they are faced with a lawsuit... a copy of this complaint is going to my personal attorney.... thank you.... *tr

I bought a 2006 murano with 61000 miles on it four months ago. the transfer case went on it this past week. estimated cost? $3300.00! the nissan dealership it was purchased from basically told me i am outta luck because the warranty is up. i did my research and the transfer case is a known problem with the awd vehicles. why has this not be recalled? why is nissan not standing behind their vehicles?!?! i contacted the nissan corporation and to no avail either. i should not have to pay this much money for a car that only has 63000 miles on it now and have only had four months! obviously there is a greater issue here. customer retention is not at the top of nissan's list apparently and selling faulty vehicles is. very disappointed with the lack of assistance. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the front passenger side seat detached from the rail. also, the contact mentioned that the control arms and motor mounts were replaced several times. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the seat assembly needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.

Noticed one day that the seat was wobbly. took it to my mechanic and he said that a manufacturer's weld had failed. this is a huge safety concern, as if i am in an accident, the seat will not restrain me. did research online, and apparently this is a huge issue with all 2003-2007 nissan muranos. i feel that this should absolutely be recalled and paid for by manufacturer. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated while traveling 40 mph she heard a popping noise and felt the driver front seat shift down and to the left. the contact was able to drive the vehicle to the dealership which confirmed that the bracket connecting the seat to the frame had failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure and current mileages were 94,000. updated 10/03/12*lj the front seat lifter was replaced. updated 10/03/12

Driver's side seat was noted broken by mossy nissan (1546 auto prkwy 92029) in august 2012 during a repair for power steering failure. head technician at mossy nissan paul and service man [xxx] claimed it was due to a faulty welding job to the seat track. repair was made august 23rd due to safety concerns and the fact the car was inoperable. mossy offered a more cost effective repair (original repair entailed replacing the whole drivers seat totaling over $1,000 plus labor) by outsourcing to a local welding shop for half the price at $530. it was also noted that this problem had occurred at least 3 times to the same model of car in recent years. i do not feel confident of welding job on said vehicle due to past repair at mossy nissan on december 26th 2011 for replacement of rear lower motor mount totaling $627.75. just months before the next welding repair in august 2012. i do not believe this is a consumer repair for either case and i am seeking the full refund of $530 and $627.75 for said repairs. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the rail that allowed seat to be adjusted on the front driver's seat was fractured, causing the seat to abnormally tilt to the left. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that it was a manufacturing defect which needed replacement and welding to repair the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the defect however no further assistance was offered. the current mileage was 116,000. the failure mileage was 115,000.

Driver seat has suffered structural integrity. the frame of the back support is cracked. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that while reversing from a residential driveway, the vehicle started to jerk and then could not be moved. the contact then noticed that transmission fluid was draining out of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to a personal mechanic who informed the contact that a hose from the transmission had become brittle and cracked. the manufacturer was notified but provided no assistance. the vehicle was repaired. the contact also reported that there two clamps on the exhaust system that were rusted and fell off of the vehicle. the failure and current mileages were 51,100.

The driver side sun visor will no longer stay up. while you are driving it drops down into your eyeline impairing your visibility. they same thing happened to my passenger side but the vehicle was still under warranty so they covered it. i believe this is a defect and can be a danger. i have spoken with numerous other murano owners who are experiencing the same problem. nissan has no intention of fixing this problem. i guess they are waiting for more accidents to happen. *tr

Seat welding broken. seat leans to the left and will not move. nissan says i need to replace seat for $1200. *tr

I noticed power steering fluid on the ground and noticed that the power steering reservoir was low. i put the car on jackstands and confirmed that the power steering high pressure line was leaking. this is an extremely dangerous situation since the fluid is combustible and i observed the steering fluid on the catalytic converter and exhaust pipe. i fixed the hose myself and saved almost $450 but nissan should address this defect before somebody is killed in a fire. after reading the nissan forums online it looks like nissan has made no attempt to correct this dangerous defect. *tr

Both front wheel bearings have failed and had to be replaced under 100,000 miles. i am now having to take it again to have them replaced. *tr

I have a 2006 nissan murano. the driver side left weld bracket broke on my seat. this has created a huge safety hazard for me... and it's going to cost me around $1400 to fix. this doesn't seem right to me... i have seen a lot of complaints about this same issue. why hasn't nissan stepped in and issued a recall to make this right before someone gets seriously injured or killed, due to this issue. i was under the impression that nissan made a quality vehicle that was built to last and safe. this is extremely dangerous! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a repair shop for an inspection when she was informed that the bolts that held the muffler in place were rusted. the vehicle was then taken to a dealer for a diagnosis. the dealer stated that the bolt assembly needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and stated that there were no recalls addressing the failure. the failure mileage was 48,900 and the current mileage was 49,000.

After coming to a complete stop, vehicle will intermittently not accelerate when stepping on the gas. period/duration of non-acceleration is not predictable, nor can you depend on being able to get out of the way of an oncoming vehicle should you be in the process of making a left-hand turn. this is a severe safety hazard. *tr

The vehicle gas gauge behavior became erratic over the last year. at the mid point of 1/2 fuel it would go to zero and return later to return to a different reading. today , 7/23/2012 the gauge sending was replaced and the factory installed defective sending unit was found to show signs of electrical arcing. it should be noted that nissan has extended the warranty on fuel tank components in other models but not the murano. nissan reports the murano is not under any recall for sending unit defects. is there a risk of gas tank explosion from this defect? has nhtsa made any judgment about nissan sending units. is the gauge intrinsically safe so that the arcing could not cause vapor ignition? is the safety basis built around the tank vapors being outside the combustion zone, i.e. too rich? have others reported similar risk issues? thank you. *tr

The drivers seat left bracket broke free from frame, causing the seat to tilt to the left and wobble when you drive and take corners. after research online, there are thousands of cases of this with the murano and no one seems to be getting a recall off the ground. it is the same weld the same side of the same seat in each murano, how much logic does it take to get this under recall? this is a safety hazard as the chair is unstable. also common sense tells us with the left side broken the right side weld is under more stress and physics will prove it will break as well leaving the driving seat unattached completely and the driver using the steering wheel to keep from being thrown into the back seat. i called nissan and got a bunch of bs propaganda double speak and feel like any complaint i was trying to file was crumpled and tossed into the trash before i was even off the phone. i have loved my murano up to this point, but since nissan won't stand behind their work or correct what is clearly a manufacter's defect, then i will not be buying another one. ever! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the front passenger seat broke away from the frame. the contact took the vehicle to a mechanic and stated that the mechanic felt it was a manufacturers defect. the failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 82,000.

I purchased a 2006 nissan murano brand new. after doing a little research, i understand that my compliant has been documented numerous times, by many consumers and that an investigation by nhtsa has been completed and closed. with that said, a new investigation into the matters needs to occur and nissan needs to issue a recall. the visor on the driver's side continues to flop down, causing limited visibility when driving. this impairs visibility when driving, which is a major safety concern and although it seems that the defect hasn't resulted in a casualty yet, it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured from this defect. next, the seat anchor bracket/frame on my driver's side seat is broken and has caused the seat to lean to the left considerably. the seat is unstable and rocks back and forth while driving, which again, is a safety concern. the investigation into this matter by nhtsa indicated that the problem results from metal fatigue. when in automobile history has this occurred? as i understand, it will cost over $1,000 to get this fixed. nissan needs to issue a recall and take responsibility for its manufacturing defects. i hope they are not waiting until someone actually dies before they realize these defects are a major safety hazard. *tr

The visor on the driver's side constantly falls down prohibiting the driver from seeing the road. it will not stay up for an extended period of time. multiple people with the same make and model vehicle have reported having this problem to me as well. *jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the front driver side window would not close. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the window's motor may have needed to be replaced. the contact was also informed that the part was not available to make the necessary repairs. the contact then took the vehicle to various other dealers and was informed that the part was not available. the manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 79,000.

The passenger side sun visor falls down and obstructs the driver's view. nissan is refusing to address this issue. *jb

My nissan murano 2006 driver seat started rocking last week. i took it to the dealership today and found that the left seat track needs to be replaced. the part cost is $1118.90 and with labor, it'll cost over $1400. i found this issue in the "defect investigation" for my vehicle that was opened in 2009 and closed in 2010. according to the report, this was not found to be a safety issue. i've also noticed many (very many) complaints online regarding this issue. i asked the dealership today what happens if i don't get it fixed and if there's an urgency. he said that if i don't get it fixed, the other track may break as well. and if this happened while i was driving, the whole seat could flip backwards. i don't understand why with so many complaints and obviously a safety concern, this has not been made more serious. why knowing there's a defect, a recall has not been put on this issue and why the manufacturer has not done their part to address this defect. please reconsider opening an investigation. not many people have $1400 to put down on a "seat" issue that should've been addressed by the manufacturer in the first place. thanks! *js

The driver side sun visor does not stay in place. it is either up or down and will flip down on its own during driving creating dangerous driving conditions. nissan wants approximate $300 for a new part that they should replace. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the power steering failed. the contact stated that she attempted to turn, but she heard a loud noise and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn. the contact maneuvered the vehicle to the side of the road and stopped. the contact then looked under the hood and noticed that the power steering fluid was low. the contact took the vehicle to a mechanic and was informed that there was a leakage in the power steering link. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer was notified and stated that they never heard of such failure. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 37,521.

The fuel pumps shuts of when the car is running causing the car to shut off my mother drives this car and i got it with 20,000 miles and so far i had to replace the hi power steering line 250.00 the sun visors 400.00 at nissan and know the fuel pump i haven't even got the price on this yet but i feel that nissan are selling crap for cars i have 2 nissan also a 2007 altima got brand new and that at 300 miles i started having issue and nissan still has not fixed any issue that stated they don't find any issues i think nissan should be paying for this repair as it is a known issue and it can cause a person to shut off wile driving and cause a crash. *tr

I am having problems with the drivers side sun visor in my nissan murano. it will just drop down suddenly. at first i was able to pull the visor down and move it forward to help protect my eyes from the sun. but that didn't last long since it will just fall straight down and block my view. when it falls i can not see the cars in front of me. i am not a tall person but i would have to be extremely small to see under the visor when it falls in straight down position. the other day, i was driving on the freeway and my sun visor suddenly dropped straight down .it really startled me cause i lost visibility. i screamed cause i could not see the cars in front of me like i mentioned earlier. as quickly as i could i lifted the visor and held it in place and continued by journey. it was pretty nerve wracking. i could have gotten into an accident and injured my passengers, myself and other drivers. and with traveling at high speed it's was an extremely dangerous situation. my dealer said the cost to repair would be around $500. i feel nissan should take responsibility for this and issue a recall but i haven't seen any yet. this sun visor issue is very dangerous to all of us out there on the road drivers and passengers.i hope something can be done about this. thank you for listening. *tr

Driver's side visor dropped by itself from storage up position to almost completely block my view of the road while traveling in traffic. could not see where i was going for a few seconds until i ducked down to see the road. visor would not stay up or stay in any reasonable position such that it could be used for driving. since that original incident, has happened many times - checking with nissan yielded no satisfactory response. this is a serious safety issue, and based on reviewing online forums, is a pervasive problem for many, many nissan murano owners. as far as i can tell there has been no recall. additionally, other owners report that replacing the part is only a temporary fix. the problem has also now been occurring wit the passenger side visor. *tr

Vehicle has problems with accelation between 40mph and over. was told it that the cvt tranmission was bad and had transmission replace and now just after picking up vehicle and driving home, vehicle is still having the same problem. *tr

The drivers seat became loose around the left rear floor area of the seat frame. the seat motors still worked but the seat movement was rough and sounded like it was grinding when engaged. a nissan dealership replaced the entire assembly at a cost of $946.00. *tr

The bracket under the drivers seat broke as i was turning a corner. the left side of the seat dropped several inches and nearly caused me to go off the road. this is a major safety issue and after doing a little research seems to be a major issue for nissan. it should definitely be a recall as it is a huge safety issue. *tr

2006 nissan murano driver's power seat frame broken. seat tilts to the left and not securely fastened to floor. safety concern as frame snapped and broke while i was driving. safety concern if i were to be in an accident . there is a technical service bulletin but i can't figure out the part needed to fix seat. called local dealer and they are unaware of any issues. i have researched thousands of complaints for the models in 2003---2007. i think there needs to be a recall due to safety issues. * js

The bracket holding the driver seat up broke while sitting in a parking lot. it made a snapping sound and lurched down in the rear and to the left, causing me to lean into the door. now the seat rocks back and forth while i drive/accelerate/decelerate. upon investigation, the part of the bracket that broke was a poorly designed v shaped punched metal link which developed stress fractures at the weak points. with very little research, this appears to be a widespread problem with muranos '03-'08, and is addressed under a tsb, however a recall has not been issued. this is a huge safety concern for me and combined with other defective issues such as a leaking steering rack and driver visor which refuses to stay up, i am not likely to ever own a nissan again. *tr

The driver side sun visor began flipping down on its own. it is a major safety hazard, as it can fall and obstruct vision temporarily. i have been reading that others have the same complaint on the murano. *tr

The driver's side power seat somehow broke under normal wear and tear. the seat leans to the left side and wobbles to the front and back. therefore having to accelerate, decelerate, turn corners and go over rough road causes the seat to move all over the place. i believe this causes a safety issue while trying to drive. this is a nissan design flaw that should be on a recall notice and corrected by nissan free of charge to the consumer. there are numerous complaints regarding this seat and for many, the dealership wants to charge some outrageous price to get the problem corrected. another issue is the driver's side visor which flops down unexpectedly while driving for no apparent reason. when returned to it's normal place, it will fall down. this causes another safety issue while trying to drive. the visibility is compromised and an accident could very well occur. please address these design flaws for recalls. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle jerked and stalled at the same time, the check engine light illuminated while the failure occurred. the failure was experienced several times. on one occasion, the vehicle jerked and crashed into a cement wall while the contact attempted to park. the contact thought that the failure was a driver’s error. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and denied assistance with repairs because the vin was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 09v169000 (engine and engine cooling). the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 89,000 and the current mileage was 94,000.

While driving on the dealer provided spear, the rear differential was damaged and caused the rear wheels to grip at 50 mph. the wheels would have locked up if i had continued driving at that rate of speed. this is an unsafe situation, because the dealer provided spear is not appropriate for this type of vehicle (awd/suv). i could have lost my life if the wheels had locked up completely and i lost control of the car in traffic. i am a nurse at an acute care hospital and i feel this is a significant safe issue that needs to be addressed by nissan. *js

Driver power seat unable to move. gets stuck at one location so can not move to adjust for proper driving location. also possible airbag issue since can get seat stuck up against steering wheel. no way to adjust seat once motor stops working. even paid to get repaired the other month and now it has stopped working again. only thing good this time is that the seat is stuck further back and not up against the steering wheel. that is a dangerous problem. check out nissan forums to see how many are having problems with driver seat motors stopping. *tr

Driver's seat frame broke in 2 spots. metal fatigue likely cause on this critical component. *tr

On my 2006 nissan murano s the seat was loose when i got into the car. it appears a metal bracket broke about the connection point to the seat . this little piece of metal l-bracket has something to do with the ability for the seat to rise and lower. since it has 49,000 miles on it, nissan consumer affairs doesn't cover it because they say the seat bracket is not a safety item. i now have a seat that rocks and moves around while driving/turning. i called the local nissan dealer, they told me they have seen this several times. it seems the seat can be fixed for a mere $1300. this has never happened to any cars foreign or domestic in over 40 years of owning a car. i can't think of any part failures where the manufacturer won't admit their part just might not be designed for the stresses it is supposed to take during normal usage. please let me know should this get any attention. however for the safety of myself and family members who use the car , i find that i will need to have it repaired or replaced. that to me is a priority even though nissan has a different opinion. *js

Our nissan murano has a driver side sun visor that fails to remain up while driving. it will continually fall down without warning, this is not only a surprise, it blocks our view suddenly. nissan refuses to replace it even with our extended warranty. we know it is a serious safety issue, we have removed it from the vehicle. *tr

My driver side sun visor is broken. it flips down on its own all the time while driving. this is the second time filing a complaint form. i never received a response from my first complaint form. i was on the higway again and it fell multiple times almost causing me to get into an accident. i know this isn't just my murano with this problem. many people have this same exact problem. *tr

Drivers (left front) seat bracket/frame broke. the seat moves during turns, deceleration, acceleration, and braking. dealer wants $1300 to replace the part. *tr

The driver side sun visor is faulty. the first time i put it down it was very tight. the next time i put it down it was like something snapped and now the visor hangs extremely loose. as i am driving, it continuously falls blocking my view of the road. this happens especially while driving on highways. i know this is not due to regular use as i have seem many complaints in different nissan forums about this very same problem. are you going to be the next toyota and wait for someone to crash and die due to a safety issue that you are not recalling? *tr

While leaving the parking lot of a store, i heard a pop and my seat immediately went to the left and rocked backward. my foot moved away from the accelerated and there was some loss of control of the vehicle. the seat continued to rock as i drove. at one point i had to make an abrupt stop, the car lunged and with gravity my seat rocked backward decreasing the pressure of my foot on the break. i have to hold myself up on the steering while driving to keep the seat somewhat stable. if i have to manuever a deep curve either right or left it is difficult to handle the vehicle while bracing myself to keep the seat still. i have seen some of the complaints about this seat issue. there is also evidence in the complaints that a nissan mechanic admitted that this was a design flaw. i have reported this to nissan customer affairs and they even admitted that this was a design flaw and safety hazard. it is a safety hazard for the owner of the vehicle and as well as the public safety.

Like all the other complaints i have read online , i have the same complaint. i had bought a 2006 murano with only 28,000 miles, along with being the second owner only and not long after i had it, the driver seat broke!! they say it is not under warranty and it is not a safety issue but how is that possible??? when you are driving ,your seat is loose!!!!! and what if you get in an accident and the other half of the seat breaks as well!!! how can they not recall this product due to the number of complaints on the same issue!!!!??? i love my car but very unhappy with nissan that they will not stand by their product !!!! *tr

Service engine soon came up, so i went to my mechanic & told me that code "po463" came up & fuel pump sending unit needs to be replaced & that cost around $800. i check online & notice that a lot of people are having the same problem. so i think nissan needs to do a recall & take care of this issue....thank you in advance. *tr

Sun visor driver side failed to stay up and suddenly falls. the dealer quotes $300 part + 150 labor just to replace and did not guarantee it won't failed again. of course is not covered by nissan. how many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? i am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. after reading complaints about seat collapsing, wheel bearing going out, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, steering hoses braking causing fire, in vehicles with low mileage i cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. the fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. this is my first and last nissan vehicle. *tr

As i was turning, the driver side seat collapsed and seat started shaking and wobbling toward the left and backward. i managed to get to a safe place to investigate the problem. the thin bracket under the seat had broken. the seat is making it hard to steer since it can wobble any time i make a turn. searching online, it appears that this is a common complaint, but nissan will not recall this defective part. it cost approximately $467 to replace and there is no guarantee that it will not happen again in the next three years. this is a manufacturer defect, but nissan will not recall. *tr

2006 nissan murano, drivers seat broke at left rear rail attach point. the seat now leans to the left and can be pulled up by hand. the support bolt that attaches the seat is broken, the dealership quotes $1200 to repair/replace and it could happen again with a new one. not covered by nissan, there are over 500 complaints 2003-06 murano's on your site. how can a loose seat not be a safety issue? *kb

The high pressure power steering hose and sensor assembly basically blew out of this lovingly used nissan murano. this caused a power steering "whine" when turning and made turning difficult and unsafe. further due to the nature of the blow out vice slow break it happened quickly and immediately impacted the amount of power steering fluid available to the system. naturally, as there was no extended warranty, nissan would not cover cost nor consider a reduction in repair/replacement fees. this is a big-time historical problem with this particular make and year of this nissan. local dealerships say that they replace about two of these per week on average, and the internet is filled with similar stories of repairs costing in excess of $600. this repair cost me a total of $650 dollars and a real lack of confidence in the quality of the nissan product and customer service. *tr

While driving at approx. 45 miles per hours the sun driver's side sun visor suddenly lowered from the "up" position, completely blocking my view of the road in front of me. this problem persisted intermittently then the visor would not stay in the "up" position at all. i had to remove the visor in order to see, but i am then blinded by the sun at times creating an equally dangerous situation. i have read several online forums and this is an ongoing issue that needs to be fixed. there is no fix for the visor, just a forced replacement at $300.00. *tr

I was on the highway driving and i heard a crack noise and the driver seat just fell back and lean back to the left. the seating just freely falls back. i pulled over and look underneath and saw that there is this little bar, slimmer than my pinky finger, which was support the seat broke. when i got home and researched, i was shocked to what i saw, a lot of complaints about this issue.this experience was one of the scariest thing i have ever experienced. to know that this was the only bar supporting the seat and nothing has been done about it, i am really shocked and really hope something will be done for nissan to rectify this problem before it is too late for some people. *tr

Just like all of the other complaints that i have been reading, when i attempt to put gas in my murano i'm unable to put gas in by the nozzle. the only way i can get a full tank of gas is to keep clicking continuously until it's full. however, now i have a lot of back splash of gas and to me this very dangerous to me and others. nissan should immediately have a recall on this problem before it cause an unnecessary accident or death. if this is a manufactured problem then it should be dealt with accordingly and respectively. i went by my local nissan dealership concerning the problem and the only solution was given to try different pumps, hold the trigger gently, and it's cold outside it will do this more often. what type of resolution is this?????? *tr

Drivers side visor began swinging down and blocking vision intermittently during high speed travel and bumpy conditions. the visor has continued to degrade and swings down under almost any movement. i had a quote from a mechanic to replace this item, but the cost seems excessive. the visor is currently held in place with duct tape/ velcro, but the home fix is not effective or long lasting. *tr

While driving i heard a pop and the drivers side seat dropped down and began to rock back and forth. i brought my car into the dealer and was told the seat frame bracket was broken and was not a covered repair (not in warranty) and would cost approximately $800 for the part, as the bracket would only be sold as part of the entire motor assembly. *tr

Driving approximately 60 mph on highway; looked over left shoulder to change lanes and heard loud pop. seat fell back and to the left unexpectedly. this did cause me to go into another lane - thankfully there was no one there at that time. for the rest of the ride the seat bounced up and down and moved forwards and backwards. i see that i am not the only person who has had this issue. nissan does sell a "bracket" to help reinforce this but it is over $1000.00 or you can buy the seat brand new for $2-3,000. especially if you have heat/electric to the seat. these prices do not include labor either. i have two small children with me every day and i am thankful that this did not end in an accident. it seems that eventually it may end that way for someone though. what does it take to have a safety recall? does someone truly need to loose their life in order for a recall to happen? when you spend this much on a luxury vehicle you expect it to stand up and the maker behind it to stand behind it!!! i am extremely unhappy at this time with how nissan is handling this. *tr

A few days before aug 31st the murano started slipping gears. it was taken to a dealership on aug 31st where the error code, stepper code, came up which is part of the cvt, the transmission. they replaced the transmission, under extended warranty and this did not fix the problem. they replaced the valve body again, the control module, and the wire harness, none of which has fixed the problem. we are 10 weeks in the shop and they cannot find the problem. a nissan engineer is now coming out to look at it wanting to replace the valve body for the third time. they have replaced this now going on three times with new parts and it is not fixing the problem. this car is not a safe car to drive anymore. the dealership told me last week that we would have resolution, whether this was a buyback or whatever by last friday. last friday they called and now they are now flying in an engineer, this is not a resolution. i do not feel safe driving this vehicle especially with two small children. the vehicle has been in the shop for going on 10 weeks now and i feel the dealership and nissan are doing everything they can not to resolve the problem. this needs to be taken care of. *tr

Both visors on the passenger side and driver side drop; mostly occurs on the drivers side, if the road is a little bumpy it falls down a lot! it is extremely dangerous as it occurs so often and i live in a bigger city and deal with the problem of traffic on a regular basis, it causes my line of sight to be extremely obstructed as i am a taller person and already have my seat down as low as possible and cannot see anything when the visor drops. *tr

Power steering problems with nissan the murano. there are loads of complaints for this problem and nissan has done nothing to resolve the problems which could result in killing someone.i was traveling at a high rate of speed when the problem occurred. *tr

Normal driving - driving my child to school. driver side seat suddenly fell on the left side. injuring my back. the seat bracket on the left rear seems to be cracked/broken. the seats rocks forcefully without notice up and down even on slight turns. almost lost control of car on a very high elevated freeway turn as when i turned to the left, the seat abruptly came up turning my body to the right - that movement made me then suddenly pull down on the left side of the steering wheel, which then forced the car to suddenly swerve to the left. fortunately, there was no one next to me and i was able to recover. if this were to happen to someone on a higher speed freeway turn ramp, there would be a high chance that they would loose control and possibly cause severe injury or death, depending on roadway and space/design. the car is now very dangerous to drive as you have to try and balance yourself using your left leg/foot pulled up to seat. when cornering you have to put so much attention on trying not to swerve as the seat rises & drops you depending on which way you are turning. the rising and dropping on turns, naturally pulls or pushes your body which is holding the steering wheel - this then causes a severe sudden pull one or the other way. it also takes your attention off the road and surroundings. in conclusion, when researching this, i have seen this under defects but no recall. there are hundreds of complaints of this poorly designed lower seat frame and one day this will end up killing someone. i sure hope it does not take that to become a recall item. *tt

Drivers side seat broke, known defect, safety hazard

This complaint is about the driver's side sun visor of 2006 nissan muranos. i have found forums with many people experiencing the problem that i am of 2006 and other model years where it fails to stay up. the tension or spring in the sun visor is gone just like that and it falls and blocks vision while driving. it falls just driving regularly, and although drivers need vision always and constantly while operating the vehicle, it also falls at times that are most dangerous when vision is of utmost importance, i.e. any driving on rough surfaces, any maneuvering to avoid accidents, uneven roadways, unexpected braking or even just turning. i don't believe the consumers of these vehicles should be responsible for the very expensive replacement that nissan quotes when reporting the problem. there is nothing in the warranty about sun visors or problems impacting visibility. the seat belt is a safety item and is covered for a long period of time, 120 months (10 years)! the sun visor blocking visibility while driving should be along the same lines as that regarding warranty, and there's nothing that says it is or isn't. i am dealing with nissan's consumer affairs department now but do not have hopes of getting this resolved with them. i have had to replace a very expensive ballast for the driver side hid bulb (cost only mitigated by buying used), the fuel sensor, have a rattling window from the beginning that the dealer fixed but the fix didn't last, and have had other issues with the nissan dealership i bought and serviced the car from. it's one thing after the other and i have not filed a complaint about the other items, but this is a severe safety issue and it's time to put my foot down. it is not an old car, there is no reason i, or any of the other murano owners should be personally liable for this serious visibility while driving issue.

Broken seat frame "drivers side rear of the seat". no incident i'm aware of, just broken. steel strap broken in the middle of the strap not at the connection points. 64k miles. *tr

This complaint regards the sunvisors on the driver's side of a 2006 nissan murano. the current sunvisor fails to stay up (parallel with vehicle roof) or canted. it falls constantly, obstructing the view of the roadway for drivers. additionally, the configuration of the visor is such that it is likely to fall when driver's need their vision the most-- upon hitting uneven or rocky pavement, striking debris in the road, or making necessary evasive maneuvers to avoid an accident. this problem appears to be widespread with nissan muranos, as several forums discussing the issue are visible on the internet. one such forum is nissanmurano.org. the site lists approximately eleven pages of car owners and other individuals discussing the same problem. the current remedy suggested by nissan is a $500 replacement visor, which is not covered by extended warranty. this figure seems unreasonable for the severity of the problem, its widespread occurrence, and the potential consequences of having an internal vehicle accessory fall over the eyes of the driver at any moment. *tr

My husband noticed around 65,000 miles that the sun visor on the driver side doesn't stay up. it happens all the time. probably every five minutes of driving. if the road is bumpy, forget it. it just slams down, affecting my line of sight. my father is terrified to drive my car, because of it. all i can do is flip back up and turn it to a slight angle. paying 300 dollars for a new visor is unrealistic. every nissan forum says they just break again. i'm thinking of buying a different car, because of it. *kb

2006 nissan murano with approximately 57,000 miles on it. very difficult to move the steering wheel while noise coming from under the hood. i noticed the power steering reservoir was low and refilled it. leakage identified by stain on parking. dealer determined that cause of the leak is a failure of the high pressure line for the power steering pump. service advisor at the dealership told me this is a very common case. dealer charged $550 to install a new hose. nissan refuse to reimburse it. numerous failures of this part are documented on web forums, nhtsa site, as well as being common knowledge among the mechanics network. i wonder if it is not a manufacturing/material problem of the part. concern is that total failure can cause a surprise loss of steering resulting in a crash and/ or cause a fire cause is very close to the engine. this should be a recall issue asap. *tr

2006 nissan murano, front seat broke loose in left rear corner while pulling out of a parking space in a store parking lot. caused my body to suddenly shift in the seat and drop back. lucky this wasn't on a quick curve or at highway speed - could easily have caused an accident. numerous on-line forums abound with complaints of the driver seat breaking loose in this way. *tr

On june 25th, 2011, i got into my 2006 nissan murano (the mileage is only at: 47,228) to find my driver¿s-side seat had come loose from the floor on the back left side. the chair isn't ¿a little loose¿-it comes completely off the floor on that side. when i made a broad left turn on my way to the dealership, i felt the seat tilt underneath me and, even though i was driving very carefully, it still scared me. i gripped the wheel tightly but because my body was being sent to the right, the car went that direction as well. i was able to stay in my lane, but had i taken the turn faster and not been aware that my seat might shift, it would have taken me completely by surprise and i would have ended up in the civic next to me. i went online and there are hundreds upon hundreds of similar complaints, too many of which detail how the seat broke while the driver was taking a turn or coming to a stop, and caused the driver to swerve into on-coming traffic, jerk the car onto a sidewalk nearly hitting pedestrians, or caused them to drop back so hard they slam their shoulder and head into the driver¿s side door (please see www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2005/nissan/murano/seat to see just how many people have already been put in dangerous driving situations because of this bracket defect). and that is just one website full of angry consumers that cannot believe the danger they were put in, especially because nissan knows this bracket is defective in five years worth of murano models (2003-2007). it obviously severely compromises the driver¿s ability to maintain control of their vehicle, especially when it can happen so suddenly while in the process of coming to a stop light or simply going around a curb. as i mentioned above, the loose seat made me jerk my car even though i was driving carefully and was aware of the problem, so i can¿t imagine my reaction if it happened all of a sudden and while taking a tighter, faster turn. this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. *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

The defective design of the driver-side visor in our 2006 nissan murano results in a safety hazard because the visor will not stay up - it falls down, blocking the driver's view. drivers are either forced to drive with one hand on the wheel while trying to hold the visor up with the other; or driving with a very restricted view of the road with the visor hanging down. replacement visors are no better - they fail within a few weeks of being installed. according to websites we have visited, the design defect of the visor is common among nissan murano models of many other years also. *tr

My 2006 nissan murano fuel gauge is giving inaccurate reading. when fuel is full it shows half, when empty it shows something else....it just jumps from one to another. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that the air bag warning light and the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. the contact was informed that a sensor within the front passenger seat needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was informed that the failure was common. the failure mileage was 12,000 and the current mileage was 49,000.

My 2006 nissan murano with 60k miles had a failure in the drivers seat today that nearly caused an accident. the failure is well documented and causes the seat to sit towards the door at an extreme angle and leaving the driver in an unsafe driving position. nissan has been completely unhelpful in fixing it as they want $1200 to repair. *tr

Driver's side seat frame broke and is now listing heavily to one side. not exactly sure when the failure occurred but noticed that during the resetting (between buttons 1 and 2) that the seat would only raise on the right, not left. that was about a month ago. today, while cleaning the vehicle i was wiping the seats down and noticed that the entire unit is unstable. this is a safety concern and i'm shocked by the apparent lack of nissan's response. i have not contacted nissan yet but will do so in the next few days. the earliest i can get the murano into the dealership is two weeks from today. a poor way to run a business. *tr

I own a 2006 nissan murano and the drivers side seat is loose on the left side of the driver's seat. i have 64,000 miles on it so it is probably not covered under warranty but is an extreme safety risk. *tr

My driver side sunvisor flops down and will not stay positioned correctly to shield the sun. i either have to drive w/o the visor and be blinded by the sun or i have my view obstructed from the floppy sunvisor being right in my line of vision. the failure occurs anytime i try and use the visor. this started when my mileage was 41,000 and i drive a 2006 murano. this is a big safety concern. my nissan dealer quoted me at $433.18 to repair the visor. i have done research and this appears to be an ongoing issue with nissan muranos. *tr

The sun visor on the drivers side does not lock in the up position. this causes it to fall down into the field of view and is a definite safety issue especially when driving on rough roads as it can block you vision without any warning. manufacturer and dealers will not cover this repair once out of warranty and it costs upwards of $400 to do the repair. i have investigated this and have even heard from dealers that this is a common occurrence with these vehicles all the way back to 2003. this should definitely be a safety recall as it could cause an unexpected accident. *tr

I recently purchased a 2006 nissan murano. while i was driving one day the left side of the seat snapped and started to sag significantly. i luckily maintained control of my vehicle despite the sudden rock back in the seat. i did nothing to cause this and i weigh under 200 lbs. there is no reason for this problem that i am aware of. i then took it to a dealer who said that it would cost me $600 without even looking at the car. i just told him what happened and he knew the pieces and prices. it seems to be an incredibly common problem but nothing has been done about it so far. this seat breaking could cause an accident, injuries, or even death when it happens. there have been several complaints in this forum and i have seen complaints in several other forums. will this be allowed to be continued at the safety of other drivers or will this problem be resolved? nissan doesn't appear to care about it, quite the opposite they seem happy to charge ridiculous amounts of money to fix it. so i'm hoping that a solution for this can be found. *tr

1. purchased 2006 nissan murano in may 2010 with 40,000 miles on it. at 40,000 miles the front left tire started to make a grinding noise. 2. at 47,000 miles wheel bearing on front left tire went bad. at 51,000 miles was driving the car and heard a snap and the left side of the drivers seat collapsed and now rocks back and forth making it not only unsafe but also uncomfortable to drive. 3. paid $500 to get the wheel bearing repaired on the car. took the car into nissan dealership to get the seat looked at and were told that it would be a $1300 repair because nissan does not make the part that was defective, therefore we would have to pay to get the entire seat replaced. these are both safety issues and there are 1,000's of complaints on both of these issues yet nissan still refuses to pay for the repairs or recall the parts. *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

Dear sir/madam, i have a nissan murano 2006 and i am the second owner...i got this car on march 2010. on feb 15th 2011, when i entered the car and put the key in ignition i heard a popping sound in the driver side car seat ...since then the car seat is rocking towards the left back side and seems like it can fall anytime...i took it to the dealer and he said its a common problem in murano and will cost 1100$. i think this should be reported and you guys should take a proper action against the car manufacturer...i can see hundreds and thousands of posts related to this problem online....so this is definitely a defect in manufacturing and should be recalled. i believe you will do the needful thanks *tr

The sun visor on the drivers side of my 06 nissan murano falls down constantly blocking my view when i am driving. it has been replaced once but now the replacement has been doing the same thing. sometimes it will stay up for half an hour and then other times it falls every 5 minutes. *tr

Driver's side sun visor has failed. the visor will no longer stay in an up position this problem interferes with my visibility while driving. today i took my murano in for service was told by the nissan service center that it would cost me $420 to replace the visor. i strongly believe this is a manufacturer's defect and a serious safety issue. nissan should be recalling and replacing these visors immediately.

Sun visors in 2006 nissan murano fail repeatedly aned will flop down blocking the driver's view causing unsafe condition. this problem appears to be ongoing since at least 2005 models not liited to murano only. the internet is filled with posts of people having this problem and dealerships are replacing with the same part that does not fix the problem permanently as these new visors fail as well. it started when only hitting a bump. now it occurs during normal driving inclduing at freeway speeds.

I have a 2006 murano and the left side of driver seat broke while getting in the car. the electrical component still works, but the seat is wobbly and unstable. apparently thousands of muranos have experienced the same thing. *tr

I was driving on the freeway at 8:30 pm when my vehicle began to lose power and stalling, it finally shut down completely in the fast lane. i frantically tried restart finally it did i was then only able to get the vehicle in the small space between the on ramp and the slow lane of freeway. the traffic was heavy and i almost get hit by a vehicle while attempting to get to a safe place. where the incident occurred the are concrete barriers due to the expansion work being done on highway 4 west bound. pittsburgh california. i bought the vehicle brand new on feb 23, 2006, it has had numerous mechanical defects from day one. in the last 2 years i have spent over $ for repairs and last month i brought to the dealer for these problems and they advised me that the vehicle had more repairs that it needed costing $2500.00. i am at my wits end. i am not working on disability. on the following day the car did it again. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving approximately 30 mph, the sun visor fell and struck the contact hard on the head. the failure was a continuous occurrence over a span of three months. the failure progressed to the point where the sun visor would hang open from the assembly and would not close. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for the failure. the failure mileage was 52,000 and the current mileage was 54,000. updated 04/05/11*lj updated 04/28/11

2006 nissan murano sl electric drivers side seat failure. yesterday my drivers side seat made a snapping noise while i was driving it and the seat slumped / slanted to the left so i was leaning toward the drivers door as i was driving. i stopped the car and checked the seat by shaking it firmly. the left rear of the seat seemed to be detached from the frame rails of the vehicle so the seat literally flopped back and forth. from the underside rear of the seat i was able to see the broken bracket that attaches the seat to the frame, it is snapped/sheared off. i am only 230lbs and have had the car for just over a year purchasing it used. i have never abused the seat or the vehicle. and have never been in an accident. i did some research this morning for a replacement part and it seems many murano's from all years suffer this same issue and the dealer is charging $1000+to fix it, or you can have somebody weld the part. this is the first time this has happened to me but after the research it is clear it is a major defect in the quality of the metal or the design of the part which is such a major safety item. i was just driving when it snapped, how many other people with nissan vehicles haven't snapped yet but are in a weakened state which could just let loose during an accident. i am going to complain to nissan but i expect it will go no where. thank you. *tr

Seat adjuster and seat slider got broken in nissan murano 2006 causing driver seat to rock from left to right. when i brought the vehicle to a service center, i was told that i cannot drive it until it is fixed due safety concerns. i had to fix it asap and cost of the repair was $1475. searching internet i discovered that it is rather common problem for muranos from 2003 to 2007. *tr

2006, nissan murano, driver's side seat frame has broken. it wobbles as i drive.the seat bracket on the left side of the seat broke and now the seat rocks around when driving it. the electric controls still work, but the seat rocks severely when making a turn or driving on a bumpy road. i called the local nissan dealership who told me it would cost 1100 to replace the seat. if they looked at it to confirm that it is broken, they would charge me 105. *tr

I don't recall a particular incident that caused and initiated my seat issue with my 2006 nissan murano. the seat rocks back and forth and is leaning towards the driver's door when i sit on it. i went to the dealer and was told that the seat frame is broken and will need to be replaced. i researched this issue and found out that this can potentially injure someone if the frame breaks off and can cause a person who is driving get in an accident. *tr

I purchased my 2006 murano from nissan of garden city around july of 2010, after filing out the paperwork for it i noticed when i got into the car the seat felt odd. i asked the rep what's wrong with it he said "ooohh get bring it back tomorrow we will get it checked out free of charge". those were his exact words. i said okay no big deal, took the vehicle down the next morning let them look at it i received a call telling me the seat frame needs to be replaced, they replaced it for free. months go no issue until one day i'm driving with my nephew in the back and i go to take a turn and the seat frame snapped again nearly causing me to hit the car in the other lane. i found a place to pull over and looked under the seat and noticed the frame was broken again. i proceeded to call my dealer i talked to the rep he said he would have to see if it's under warranty, he said he would call me back he never did. extremely vex i called nissan talked to a rep the first time complete bone head. talked to another rep named yolanda brown she called the dealership told me to bring it in to them, i haven't done this yet because school is now in session and i'm tied up, however i will be taking it down there this week. i've done my research on this failure of a design for a seat. i don't understand how nissan could put such a poor quality product in their car. wherever i look everyone is saying take it to your local mechanic and let him weld it or fabricate a part for you. if things do not work out with nissan i might go that route. however it's been noted to nissan that if i get into an accident because of this part failing i will sue them. *ln

2006 nissan murano - got into the car one day and when the seat went to reposition itself there was a loud cracking noise that come from below the seat. now when i go around corners, the seat shifts from left to right (or right to left depending on the corner). i bought an extended warranty with the car ($1899.00) when we bought the car, but the dealership has informed me that the warranty does not cover fixing the seat. *tr

I have a 2006 nissan murano. in december of 2010 i noticed the power steering reservoir was as low, and refilled it. three days later a noticed a leak under the car where i parked, and the power steering reservoir was empty again. since then i have found out the high pressure hose to the power steering needs to be replaced. the car has only 52,000 miles on it. i did some investigation on the internet and found this a common problem for this car. i believe this should be a recall issue for nissan.

I was about to park the 2006 murano (sl, awd), about 3 yards from reaching the spot. the car suddenly accelerated forward and hit the concrete wall hard, damaging the front bumper - i could not react to brake the car in time. it's rather scary! *tr

My wife was driving our 2006 nissan murano. upon taking a turn, the drivers seat suddenly shifted to one side. (my wife is medium build, about 155 pounds.) when she returned home, i inspected the seat and found that one of the mounting braces under the seat had broken. the seat now rocks side to side. i researched this on line and found that this is not at all an unusual thing that happens to these seats. i went to my local nissan dealer and was told they have had 4 cases of this happening recently. the service man (scott) even told me this happened to his 2005 murano. their solution was to replace the entire seat at an estimated cost of $1100. even if i replaced the entire seat, there is no guarantee that the new seat wouldn't break as well, since it is the same design. they agreed that there has been problems with the seats, not only on the 2006 models, but other years as well. since my vehicle was more than 36 month old, there was no warranty or replacement of any kind offered by nissan. they agreed that all that needed to be done was to remove the seat and spot weld the broken bracket, but that they "had no welding equipment" and suggested i find someone who welds and take care of it myself. it seems to me that nissan would be concerned that one of these seats might break while at expressway speeds, causing the driver to overshift and be involved in an accident. it is my hope that something be done by nissan to remedy this potentially dangerous situation. i am currently driving this vehicle with a 4x4 and 2x4 block propped under the seat to keep it from rocking. *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. the consumer was informed a new seat frame would cost $ 1500 updated 05/06/11

While driving home on a smooth, even surface road, i heard a "snap" and felt my driver's seat collapse/sag noticeably. further investigation revealed that the seat track (or adjuster assembly) had broken on the back left mount. at first it looked like a new triangular bracket would be needed to repair the break, but it turns out that the track is one entire assembly. no rough riding or driving conditions were present at the time of the break. i do not do any rough/off road driving. i have read numerous complaints about murano seats breaking on the internet forums. *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

2006 nissan murano, broken driver's seat frame. failed while driving, turning at an intersection. temporarily lost control of the vehicle and almost hit an oncoming car. the seat frame repair cost at the dealer is nearly $1,400. nissan has refused to provide any financial assistance for the repair citing it not being the safety hazard and that the vehicle's warranty had expired. this is a part that should never break on a vehicle, let alone a vehicle that is only 4 years old. i am seriously concerned about the ability of the seat to maintain its structural integrity in the event of an accident. due to the safety concern that i have with this seat and what could potentially happen in an accident, i will be selling it when i have it paid for in a few short months and will not purchase another one. nissan's handling of this issue has cost them my future business. i did some internet research on this issue which led me to this site as well as uncovered a host of the very same issue with other muranos. it appears to be a systematic problem with muranos of this vintage. nissan does not agree that this is a safety concern. i disagree with their assessment as a seat coming unattached from the vehicle's frame has the potential for serious injury. vin number available upon request.* tr

On 12/28/10 i was returning from a skiing trip and stopped with my kids for some fast food. upon returning to my 2006 nissan murano, i opened the door and as soon as i sat on the drivers seat, i heard a "bang" and the left rear side of the driver's seat sank. upon further inspection i found that the left rear mounting bracket on the seat had snapped. my vehicle is 5 yrs. old and i just hit 165,000 miles. over the years, i have owned 8 other cars prior to this murano and have put mileage on them ranging from 157,000 (chevy malibu) to 98,000 (dodge spirit) and have never experienced such a problem. a seat bracket is a non-moving part and is critical to driver/passenger safety in that it keeps the occupant stable so that the seat belts can properly restrain in the event of a crash. now when i sit in the seat i tip to the left (towards the door) and the seat moves up/down when i make turns. this is not a safe condition. i have seen many complaints about this problem in internet forums and it just seems ridiculous to me that a metal, non-moving part situated inside the vehicle (and not subject to rust or whether) that is so critical to safety should just spontaneously fail. if i were a larger person, i could possibly understand, however, at 200lbs. i am not much out of the range of the average american male and such a part should be designed to handle such stresses. god knows how this bracket would have handled a crash! this problem needs to be rectified via a recall as it appears that nissan dealers are charging from $500 to $1,200 to repair this problem. totally unacceptable for a safety related component!! *tr

2006 nissan murano. sun visors keep falling down obstructing view. please have nissan issue a recall to fix this problem. thanks. *tr

Upon starting the vehicle it was noticed the airbag light was flashing on the console. on 12/8/2010 contacted nissan dealership, wright automotive - wexford, pa, and service agent advised the earliest they could see the vehicle was12/13/2010 and that the airbag would not deploy while the airbag light was flashing. upon taking vehicle to dealership service agent advised he has not seen this issue in the 2 years he's been at the dealership and advised there is no recall or known tsb. service order indicated a code of b1054 which means 'drivers side air bag open'. thus, they recommended 'replace spiral cable' for a total cost of $371.88. i paid $69.95 diagnostic fee, $197 spiral cable, and $18.69 tax and pending payment of $104.93 labor cost to replace part. upon researching this issue on the web the following was uncovered: several murano owners, crossing model years, have experienced the same issue and two suggested solutions. the first solution states to perform a reset by turning the vehicle from 'off' to 'on' three times while counting to 5 during the 'off' time. this solution worked for several owners. the second solution identified by one owner said replacement of the 'seat belt pre tensioner', which was supposedly covered under a recall for a 2005 murano, solved the identified issue. we choose to perform a self 'reset' on 12/13/2010 which was subsequent to dealership analysis payment of $266.95 (diagnostic fee and special part order). upon discussing the 'reset' with nissan service agent, he suggested either return special order part and pay restocking fee or keep the part since he believes the light will begin flashing again. since performing the 'reset' the flashing airbag light has not returned. nissan needs to determine if this is a safety concern and issue a recall or if this is not a safety issue then nissan should document a tsb solution.

I have a very hard time pumping gas into my 2006 nissan murano s. after a gallon or two the fuel pump handle will kick off and stop pumping. i have been told this is because of the venting system. i first brought the car in for this issue in 2006. i ended up picking it up and then taking it right back because i couldn't put gas into it at the station down the road. it was again serviced for the same thing in 2008 and then again in 2009. the vehicle is currently back in the shop for the same complaint. i have to pump gas into a portable gas can and then pour it into the murano. *ln

The mount under the left side of the driver's seat suddenly broke and detached from the frame. it was extremely difficult to drive/operate the vehicle since the driver's seat was leaning severly to the left and moving around. if there had been an accident, the seat would have most likely become completely seperated from the car since there was only 1 bracket holding it on instead of 2.

The drivers seat of my 2006 nissan murano cracked at the weld in the frame causing the seat to drop at a steep angle in the back. fortunately the incident occurred when i was getting in the vehicle rather than when i was driving as it surely would have caused a extremely dangerous and undriveable situation. the dealership service manager concurred that it was a manufacturing defect in my vehicle, however nissan would not cover the cost of the repair, nor the cost of replacement transportation while the appropriate parts were ordered and installed which spanned several days. i am extremely displeased with the experience of dealing with nissan consumer affairs department. *tr

While driving on the freeway, my drivers seat mounting bracket broke (left rear bracket mount weld). this caused me to cross the lane and almost side swipe another vehicle. nissan will not cover and has no recall for this obvious safety issue. i am now forced to drive a vehicle which rocks back and forth while operating it. this is an identified manufacturing flaw and should have an immediate recall, before a fatality occurs!!!

2006 nissan murano. problem began ~40k mileage. driver's side visor will no longer stay in up position for more than few minutes of driving, less if any bumps in the road. the visor cannot be set to hold any position other than vertical at 90 degrees, causing severe diminished visibility. visor will drop without warning creating hazard. repair estimate is $400. have been unable to locate used part for replacement. visor temporarily held in place with package sealing tape, but this too is a hazard if needing to use visor to shield direct sunlight. hundreds of complaints about this problem found on internet search. appears to be faulty part from nissan. severe accidents are only a matter of time.

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!

While pulling into traffic i heard a slight "pop" sound at which point the power driver's seat dropped towards the door. i tried readjusting the seat but as i tried to raise the seat the left side would not come back to level. after parking the car, i looked under the seat to find the seat bracket was broken. i was surprised how long it had lasted without braking after observing how small gauge of metal used. had this happened in heavy traffic on the interstate, there is a good possibility of a serious accident. *tr

2006 nissan murano with approximately 76,000 miles on it. power steering leakage identified by stain on driveway, as well as noise coming from under the hood. dealer determined that cause of the leak is a failure of the high pressure line for the power steering pump. dealer charged $750 to install a new hose. this has to be the most expensive hose on any car. concern is that total failure can cause a surprise loss of steering resulting in a crash. this should be a recall issue. *tr

I purchased this vehicle used, but after checking the internet found it is a common problem with this vehicle. a few months after purchasing this vehicle my fiance noticed that the drivers seat was "wiggling" and didn't seem right. we brought it to a repair shop and they stated that the rail that holds the seat in place had broke. they welded it but stated it may happen again. *tr

2006 nissan murano. the drivers side sun visor drops down abruptly and obstructs the drivers view. this started approximately 3 months ago on my vehicle. out of the blue, the visor will flop down even though it is securely in the clip. the problem lies within the visor itself as i have removed the entire assembly for inspection. the local dealer wants over $400 to fix a problem that is safety oriented. nissan corporate is of no help. their "fix" is to apply velcro to hold the visor in place. *tr

2006 nissan murano with approximately 66,000 miles on it. power steering leakage identified by stain on driveway, as well as noise coming from under the hood. with low fluid, steering is sluggish at all speeds. mechanic determined that cause of the leak is a failure of the high pressure line for the power steering pump. current remedy is to add roughly a half pint of power steering fluid every few days, and avoiding driving the vehicle. numerous failures of this part are documented on web forums, nhtsa site, as well as being common knowledge among the mechanics network. concern is that total failure can cause a surprise loss of steering resulting in a crash. *tr

2006 nissan murano; driver's seat fell down at the rear of the seat. dealer states that it is a commonly known failure of the seat's "lift assembly". thankfully, i was on a straight road and no other vehicles were nearby when it happened. i swerved at the time and strained to pull over safely b/c i couldn't reach the pedals very well with the seat in the awkward position it was in. for sure, this could have been a disaster, and is a disaster waiting to happen on many vehicles. it's my understanding that poor manufacturing is to blame. really, this should be recalled and replaced. what a danger! *tr

Broken seat track 2006 nissan murano s model awd. very common issue apparently. driver side seat track assembly broke and causes the seat to wobble in an unsafe manner. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated the driver side seat would rock back and forth abnormally. the dealer stated that the seat had fractured from the frame and would need to be replaced. the seat was not under warranty or recall. the contact stated that the visor on the driver side was also fractured. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 54,127 and the current mileage was 70,000.

Turned on my car and found a loud racketing noise coming from the front passenger side. kept driving car until my steering wheel became completely locked, luckily i was near a sears and had it looked at. diagnosed it as a leak in my power steering hose. they added power steering fluid and told me it would be hundreds of dollars to fix. after 24 hours, the steering fluid they had added had completely leaked to a puddle under my car and my wheel was locked again. i have had 2 other friends with the exact same car and the exact same problem. obviously with all the other complaints about the 2006 murano having power steering issues, this is not a coincidence it is a manufacturing problem. i am very lucky that i was near a parking lot and not on the interstate when my wheel became completely locked! this is a very dangerous problem, that nissan needs to take care of! *tr

Driver's seat rear tube is broken on left side after 82 kmiles of normal driving on paved roads only, mostly highway. both drivers weigh less than 190 lbs. material strength / thickness is insufficient for the loads the tube needs to carry at that location. the whole seat (cushion and backrest) rotates up/down about the front and to the left approx. 4-5 inches when the backrest is pushed lightly toward mid car direction. this is a major safety issue. it's surprising that the seat passed fmvss 208/301 (dynamic front and rear crash tests) during dv and pv. ok so new carefully assembled seat frames must have passed those tests, but isn't nissan also responsible to ensure the built-in seat safety factor is high enough to overcome manufacturing tolerances and fatigue issues from normal driving for production seat frames such that under a front or a rear crash event the seats actually do provide some protection and at least do not increase the danger to the driver and the passengers? this is faulty engineering. there are many cases for pre-2008 model murano with this problem on the internet and, i assume, in your database. to ensure nissan and other vehicle manufacturers design for fatigue, manufacturing tolerances and/or quality, nhtsa should prompt a safety recall. customers should not have to pay >$1000 to fix a seat that nissan pays less than $150 to assemble in the vehicle, as this would be equivalent to rewarding and supporting faulty engineering. *tr

Got in 2006 nissan murano and sat on driver's seat when the seat collapsed to the left side and rear of the seat. had this happened while driving it could have been very startling and cause a collision. i took it in to nissan dealer where i bought it. they said they had seen and repaired several others. they indicated on the receipt that "found that the seat frame had broken on the weld on the left rear of the seat. removed and repaired seat and welded the frame back together". *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

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

2006 nissan murano driver & passenger sun visor does not stay in place. the mechanism for the sun visor malfunctions. when placed in the up, locked in position (not in use) it pulls away and hangs loosely. when placed downward to block the sun the visor does not stay in a locked and angled position. it has suddenly dropped and obstructed my view. this is a safety hazard and may result in an auto collision. i live in colorado where the majority of our days are sunny. i am often forced to support the sun visor by holding it in place with my left hand while driving only with my right hand. this is a safety concern for me, as a driver should have both hands on the wheel while driving, i wear sunglasses however, the suns glare is often so intense that the visor is necessary especially during rush hour traffic when i am driving west towards the sunset. the last time my visor malfunctioned was yesterday, 10/1/10 while commuting in heavy rush hour traffic (5pm mst). nissan corporation should take action to recall & replace the sun visor mechanism. *tr

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.

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

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

I own a 2006 nissan murano and today as i was turning onto a busy freeway (with 2 of my grandchildren in the car) , my driver's side seat came loose from the floor of the car. this is definitely not acceptable for a car that has only 53,000 miles on it. i reviewed your website and saw hundreds of complaints about this. i noticed that nothing has been done. is this because there were no deaths or injuries? i would hope a recall is issued before somebody has blood on their hands. are you anywhere near a recall on this safety issue? *tr

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

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

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

My 2006 nissan murano sun visor does not stay in place. it always drops all the way down. sun visor cannot be adjusted the way you wanted it. dealer charge $350.00 to replace the part in order to fix it and in think it is a ridiculous amount. a lot of muranos owner are having the same issues on their vehicles and i think this is a safety issue that needs to be taken care of and corrected by nissan. *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

Drivers sun visor drops down in your face, can't see the road. *tr

2006 nissan murano. problem began ~40k mileage. driver's side visor will no longer stay in up position for more than few minutes of driving, less if any bumps in the road. the visor cannot be set to hold any position other than vertical at 90 degrees, causing severe diminished visibility. visor will drop without warning creating hazard. repair estimate is $400. have been unable to locate used part for replacement. visor temporarily held in place with package sealing tape, but this too is a hazard if needing to use visor to shield direct sunlight. hundreds of complaints about this problem found on internet search. appears to be faulty part from nissan. severe accidents are only a matter of time. *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

I own a 2006 nissan murano. recently, my driver's side sun visor will not hold a downward adjustment. it stays (for now) in the upward position but when i put it down to block the sun it dangles, is the best way i can describe it. i have to use one hand to hold it in the position needed to block the sun. it is either all the way up or all the way down, no position in between. this is a safety hazard for two reasons. taking one hand off the steering wheel is a big safety hazard and not using the visor when i have to use two hands on the wheel is blinding. if a car, person or animal should move into my path i would have difficulty seeing them without the visor down. i live in the mountains and driving up the hill home is very difficult when driving into the sun. it is getting weaker when holding the upward position, it will get to the point that it will not stay up at all. when i asked the nissan dealer about repairing it i was given a price of $450.00 just for the part not including labor. i have an extended warranty on my car and feel nissan should be covering this under warranty because of the safety hazards. *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

Front right bearing failure. *tr

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

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. nissan rep brittanny ext 47118 my file # [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

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

The sun visors on my 2006 nissan murano, both driver and passenger side, fail to stay in place. they continually fall down and are in the line of vision of the driver. this is clearly a safety issue as the driver is momentarily blinded at the least. it also causes the driver to jump and may have an end result of a jerked wheel. we have attempted to fix this on numerous occasions, but the $400 estimate for each shade seems far too steep to pay, especially when i see this is a very common problem for nissan muranos of all years. *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

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

Both visors on my 2006 nissan murano have stopped working properly and become a safety hazard. this vehicle is only about 5 years old and already both visors have lost their tension causing them to fall down while driving, blocking the view of the driver. also they will not stay where they are placed, so they do not serve the purpose of blocking the sun making them more hazardous. a complaint was filed with nissan corporate (file number [xxx]) in march of 2010, but they denied the claim. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)*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

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

On my 2006 nissan murano, the driver's side sun visor will only stay in the full up position or fully down. to drive in the sun, i hold the visor up with one hand. dealer has replaced a clip, but that did not work. they say the only solution is to replace ($400 +) the sunvisor. *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

2006 nissan murano drivers seat and sun visor. my 2006 nissan murano has had two parts fail that i believe are a safety concern and warrant a recall. the 1st part is the drivers seat. i'm not a large person but the left side seat bracket broke and now my seat rocks left and right. i can't raise the seat up and down because only the right side works. the seat also bounces up and down. apparently this is a very common problem with the murano and nissan's excuse is "wear and tear." seriously??? nissan offered to replace the driver's seat for $1000 +. the second part that has failed is the driver's sun visor. whenever i hit a bump, the sun visor swivels down and totally blocks the drivers view out the window. this is not safe. nissan offered to replace the sun-visor for $350. *tr

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.

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.

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

I am a 5'9" woman who weighs 150 pounds. my nissan murano drivers seat tips whenever i make a right hand turn. i took the vehicle into my nissan dealer to have them look at and possibly fix the problem and was told it would cost me $1000 to have the problem resolved due to a thin weld that broke. it seems as though this should be a safety issue that nissan would be willing to correct with low or no cost associated with it to the consumer.

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

I own a 2006 nissan murano and in the fall of 2009, started experiencing an issue with my sunvisor. i understand that this issue is not just mine, but many other owners have the same problem. while driving, the sunvisor randomly falls down, sometimes hitting me (or my family) in the head. it is clearly a safety issue. it always occurs on rough road surfaces but also happens on smooth highways, and at random times, often startling me or whoever is driving my car. we have purchased & replaced the clips that holds the visor but that is not the problem. the visor just does not lock in the "up" position. we have also spoken to the dealer and they said it is not under warranty and is a $350-400 replacement part. other owners have indicated they will not cover is under their "goodwill program" either.

Sun visor drops from desired position all the way down into line of sight on it's own.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. when filling the vehicle with gasoline, the fuel gauge indicator would read inaccurate fuel levels. prior to the recent failure, the fuel system was repaired per nhtsa campaign id number 06v003000, fuel system, gasoline, storage, tank assembly. the contact was unaware if the recall repairs were associated with the current failure. the current and failure mileages were 36,000.

I have a 2006 nissan murano. the issue originated with the air intake problem that nissan recalled last year. prior to the recall i had taken my car in because of the poor performance and near accidents that the air intake issue caused. i had taken the car to town north nissan to have the issue checked out and they said the problem was my motor mounts were defective and that would fix the air intake issue. i continued to experience issues with the air intake and fixing the motor mounts did not resolve this problem. after the air intake recall came out i took the car in to have the parts replaced. while picking up my car i spoke to the service manager about my frustration on having to replace the motor mounts which never resolved the problem. the service manager explained that they were aware that the motor mounts on the murano were weak (not just mine but across the board) and they felt that would resolve the problem. i have had numerous cars in my life and have put over 100,000 miles on several of the cars that i owned and i have never had to replace the motor mounts. if nissan knows that the motor mounts are weak on this car then why has that part not been recalled?

Driver side sun visor - nissan murano 2006 visor falls down constantly blocking the drivers view many, many people on the web are complainng of the same problem. *tr

2006 nissan murano drivers seat anchor no longer works. the drivers seat in my wife's 2006 murano is tilted towards the drivers side door and rocks and appears "loose" when entering or exiting the vehicle. in my opinion there is the potential danger that the suit can more easily become fully unanchored if the vehicle is involved a collision. a. this seems like a significant safety defect in that an obvious layer of driver protection has been significantly compromised. i do not feel it's appropriate for numerous individuals to become injured before the manufacturer is required to fix the defect and urge the nhtsa to mandate that the manufacturer correct this problem. *tr

I bought a 206 nissan murano from a dealer. the car was certified clean by manheim the auction house.the car was inspected by the dealer and it was in good shape. i had the car inspected pre purchase inspection by stevens creek nissan www.stevenscreeknissan.com. it was certified clean with absolutely _no_leaks_. then 30 days later i hear a whine within the car and i took it to a local mechanic to inspect. it was identified as a leak in power steering fluid hose. how come 30 days there wasn't any reported leak , but now there is a leak that had drained a lot of power steering fluid and that caused the high pitch whine. the mechanic added some power steering fluid and the sound stopped. when i checked with a kragen store where i went to buy power steering fluid , they said that this is common problem with nissan. i checked the news groups online and i find that many people have complained about nissan power steering hose. http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/reliability.aspx?year=2005&make=nissan&model=murano http://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/showthread/t-12704.html http://www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/murano/2005/steering/power_steering_fluid_leaking.shtml "there is a national backorder of over 300 for this 'combination hose-metal tube power steering hose on the pressure side' part # 49720cb60a. i have been waiting since 9/2/09. i noticed that all of my power steering fluid was drained when i checked under my hood on vacation. if i didn't happen to see it, i could have had a major accident. this is the power steering we are talking about! this is obviously a widespread issue, and if nissan doesn't want major lawsuits for wrongful death, they had better get on the stick and do a recall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" http://www.justanswer.com/questions/34u6k-i-have-a-2006-nissan-murano-which-has-developed-a-growling "common repair i was told as nissan can not manufacture replacement parts to keep up with demand on these faulty parts( pressure hose)." *tr

Nissan murano 2006, i purchased this car new. i have had several recalls in the past. i took my suv to the dealer in jan 2010 for a power steering leak. the service guy told me the hose had to be repaired, so i got it repaired. a month later i started having the same problem in feb 2010. now nissan service is blaming on the power steering rack, and it needs to be changed for $2000.00. i went on line to see how many complaints for the same issue, and found others complained about the same issue as mine. i think it's very unjust for nissan to charge their customers to the extreme for their defects. please help! i am unemployed for 12 months, and i need my vehicle. *tr

I have a 2006 nissan murano. i was driving down the road, and the driver seat made a snap sound, and suddenly leaned to one side. it took me a few seconds to realize what had happened, and get control of the car. i have checked with nissan, and they are telling me it is going to cost $1,000.00 to fix the seat, and that this is a recurring problem with these cars. this seems to be a safety issue to me and a recall has been issued. i have contacted nissan corporate with this issue as well, and have received no response. i have also done online research, and this seems to be a problem with multiple years of these muranos. *tr

On a very foggy morning, was doing about 45 m.p.h.,realized i was coming up on a stop sign in my 2006 murano. i stepped on the brakes, like usual and nothing happened. i slammed on the brakes, after normal pressure didn't work. my car failed to stop after i pushed the brake pedal as hard and fast as i could. i slid i think the brakes locked. i skidded through a stop sign, resulting in being hit by another car. my car was totaled. the other driver's car was most likely destroyed, also. maybe, i imagined it, but it felt like my car sped up, in addition to the brakes failing. i have whiplash injuries and got badly bruised. i am lucky to be alive. i have (or had) an excellent driving record. two days before this happened, i was coming to a stop sign and the brakes felt like they might be fading. there was no scrubbing noise, or the high pitched whine worn- out brakes have. the car had a little over 54000 miles on it , and was "my baby", so i took good care of it. another reason it was well-maintained. i have 12 inch rods in my spine, and depend on my vehicle to protect me. yes, the airbags, etc. worked, but i believe the brakes failed, causing the wreck. thank you for your attention to this matter. *tr

The driver side sun visor on my 2006 murano is defective and nissan¿s gold extended warranty and nissan corp is claiming this shouldn't be covered. this is clearly a defective mechanical problem with the visor which should be covered; considering it blocks the drivers view while driving when it abruptly comes down nissan should take great care in taking care of this issue. this is something i've complained about since 2008 when it started with a small rattling sound coming from the mechanism but the dealership refused to admit the problem was the visor and tried to point to the plastic clip holding the visor in place. it would tragic for someone to experience and accident for this problem and it would be great if someone would put this issue under review as soon as possible. *tr

The driver side sun visor on my 2006 nissan murano is defective and is no longer covered under the manufacturer warranty. it has not been overused, however, the visor falls abruptly at various times while driving blocking the driver's vision momentarily. it has not caused an accident, however, driving with it as it is can possibly cause an accident during that moment of obstructed vision while driving on a highway, especially at night time. the dealer or the extended warranty for my vehicle does not cover this cost and the replacement cost is ridiculously expensive. *tr

Driver's side sun visor does not stay in a static position. visor can either be locked upright, or if unlocked and in use, falls straight down blocking the view of the road. the visor falls every time i use it, and i can not get it to stay put. i was told the visor was outside of my warranty and would cost approximately $400 to replace. i see several other complaints online about the exact same problem. *tr

High pressure hydraulic line associated with power steering pump is leaking. shortly after buying the vehicle used from a dealer a noise under the hood began. i could not diagnose in the driveway and took it to the dealer who told me that the high pressure line to the power steering pump was leaking at a fitting. he quoted the repair price to be several hundred dollars. i filled the power steering reservoir and the noise went away. i have found numerous other complaints of this type online through nissan forums and through auto fault awareness websites. part number 49720-cb60a. *tr

My 2006 nissan murano sun visor will not stay up , it will drop down at will and block drivers view. a real safety issue. nissan is aware of the problem but will not do anything about it. it is on several year models of nissans, especially the murano. dealer wants 450.00 to replace it. *tr

2006 nissan murano broken seat bracket. i have had my car in for a seat clicking several times during 3/36 warranty and was told there is nothing wrong. i have a 2006 nissan murano with an extended warranty, several days ago the seat bracket broke when driving on the highway, this was a big surprise, i swerved several times and almost caused a major accident. i took the car to nissan and they said it was not covered under my warranty, it would cost 800 to fix i contacted their consumer affairs and they also don?t care to fix it even though they know it is a design flaw. this is very dangerous and should be an issue that requires a recall because there are many of these cars on the road and many people complaining on web forums. i am now driving a vehicle with a broken seat which is dangerous but i don't have 800.00 to get it repaired. *tr

Approx 8/2009 i had my driver side visor replaced after sudden failure to remain upright. it would flop down while driving to block expected view and/or stay at an angle that would have hit me right in the middle of my forehead, being tall, as is my husband, should an accident cause any forward body movement. nissan has replaced the driver side under warranty and now just 1 day ago the passenger side also did the exact same failure. my husband was the passenger and he kept saying "boy i don't like this would catch me right in the middle of my forehead if we got hit" it won't stay up so it has to always stay down now which restricts night time driving. i "googled" murano visor complaints and there are many of the exact same complaints!!! i would like to request you review this as a big danger for visual restriction during night or sudden unexpected limits during day driving upon dropping down and possible facial injury upon any impact. thank you very much. *tr

Driving along and back left of drivers seat suddenly dropped down about 3-inches causing me to pull the steering wheel to the left into on coming traffic. i suspect a bolt has come loose or more likely from the numerous posts i have found online a weld has broken. this is regarding a 06 nissan murano. *tr

The drivers side seat recently started to rocking toward the drivers side door which alerted me to having a problem. the sub rail that hold the seat in broken. this happens every time i get into the car the seat is leaning to the left door. i contacted the dealer in which i purchased the car, they said it is nothing they can do because the warranty is up. i should contact the manufacture nissan which i have also done . *tr

The driver side sunvisor on my 2006 nissan murano refuses to stay up and continually drops in front of my face while driving unless i hold it with one hand. nissan knows the problem and refuses to help for less than $400-$500. *tr

I bought a used nissan murano 2006 at 42000 miles. everything was perfect at the beginning, two months later my seat started making very squeaky noise. until yesterday i kept driving having no idea what is going on. on my way to work my driver seat snapped on the left side. i almost crushed because it happened so suddenly. i am glad that it happened at night and there was no cars around me. apparently there is many complaints about nissan defective seat and dealers are charging close to 900$ to fix the problem that should not even occurred ever. *tr

I own a 2006 nissan murano that has a defective part in the driver's side visor causing it to fall in the driver's face. the only way to fix is to use velcro or hold up with one hand while driving. this is dangerous as the velcro is only a temporary fix as it is not strong enough to hold up the heavy visor and continually falls in the face of the driver. the visor malfunction started happening around 50k miles and is not covered under nissan's warranty. the visor can be replaced, but at a cost of near $500. i feel that this defect in the visor should be covered by nissan as it is a safety hazard while driving. i believe this to be a widespread problem as i have read similar complaints on nissan auto forums. *tr

Gas gauge and electronic gas display are not in sync. fluctuating between full and empty. check engine light constantly on since this occurred. *tr

2006 nissan murano sunvisors (driver and passenger) continually drop down during driving. they rotate from a "up" position to a "down" position on their own. average road vibration / driving conditions constantly causes this to happen. once the visors are "down", they block the view of the road while driving. these are not covered under normal factory warranty or extended warranty. part cost for each visor is $400.00 from nissan....does not include installation costs. nissan will not replace these under recall / warranty / tsb. looking to get resolution to this problem, as it seems to be rather widespread / occurring amongst fellow murano owners. *tr

I own a 2006 nissan murano with approximately 105,000 miles. i weigh 160 pounds and do 95% of my driving on a highway. while driving on a highway, the frame supporting the driver seat cracked causing the seat to become unstable and creating a hazardous situation. as a result, i have to keep the seat in the lowest possible position, otherwise it becomes highly unstable. the dealer estimated the repairs at $1,035. the result of my research of this defect disclosed that it is a fairly common occurrence for 2006 nissan muranos. however, when i contacted nissan and explained the situation, they responded that there is no recall for this defect and they will not be able to reimburse me for any portion of the repair. *tr

My 06 nissan murano is having an issue with the seat moving from side to side around corners and such.... i have found several forums on this and it is obviously a known issue... yet when you go to the dealer, they say tough luck and it is $900 to fix.... that is wrong... this is a known safety issue and should not cost me to have fixed... i am at risk every time my wife or myself drive the vehicle and this is something that should be fixed without charge... imagine how much it will cost if we get in an accident and we sue nissan for not fixing a known issue.... i am not asking for anything other than having my seat fixed for safety reasons..... *tr

Drivers seat left rear bracket snapped in half, seat now rocks up and down 3 inches and leans right. emailed nissan corporate they had me bring it to a dealer who quoted me $1089.00 to fix, reviewed cost with nissan corporate and they have heard of the problem occurring with the murano but can't cover the repair expense, she said "keep the receipt in case we recall it you will get some money back". *tr

1. normal driving of nissan murano approximately 65,000 miles. 2. high pressure hose on power steering system failed. leakdown rate provided some warning due to noise but failure can cause a sudden dangerous loss of steering capability. 3. because nissan has so many of these particular failures, no oem hoses are available at this date. many dealerships are awaiting replacement hoses for customers. *tr

My 06 murano sl began to lose pressure on the gas pedal and stall. at first it felt like someone had bumped into me, but after noticing that the car behind me had not. i tried to move on with the traffic. i put on my hazards and came to a complete stop but was not able to accelerate by using the gas pedal. then my vehicle began to drive on its own lucky for me the traffic in front of me began to move. the vehicle came to a complete stop in the middle of the highway while i tried to move over to the emergency lane. i place the vehicle in park and then in drive. when i pressed on the gas pedal it would not move once again even when pressing the pedal to the floor. i tried to move the vehicle while in the lower gear and second gear just to get out the middle of the highway and it still would not move. then out of know where it began to drive on its own again without me pressing on the gas pedal. that allowed me to make it over to the emergency lane. again lucky for me i was able to make my way through the stand still traffic. once in the emergency lane the vehicle stopped. i put it in park then pressed on the gas pedal and the engine would rev up. then i thought ok it will move now, but then the vehicle began to drive itself in reverse while in the drive position. i called my motor club and had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. the technician stated that two of my transmission hoses blew and the vehicle lost all its fluid and it would cost me $711 to fix this problem not including any damage to the transmission. now the dealership is trying to say that i have a leak at my engine rubber o ring. at the time of the incident my vehicle has 82k miles. although i have quite a few miles on my vehicle i have maintained all of my required maintenance as scheduled. something should be done about the vehicle stalling and driving on its own. i had no warning. this is a very dangerous situation not having control over the vehicle. *tr

Driver's-side visor suddenly became unable to stay at a secure angle, which causes a recurring visibility problem. it no longer stays at a secure position if it is not flipped up flat against the headliner. this precludes using it as intended to block sun from shining directly into driver's eyes. if not flat against the headliner, it only hangs straight down and completely blocks line-of-sight while driving, regardless of whether the visor's end is secured or not in its clip. to avoid sun shining directly and unsafely into eyes, it's necessary to hold the visor at necessary angle with one hand, leaving only one hand on the steering wheel. it may sound like a minor problem - - until you regularly experience having to make a choice between being literally blinded by the sun while driving or having to use one hand to hold the visor up. it is no longer covered by my now-expired 36 mo/3 yr warranty. dealers estimate to repair: $400.00. *tr

While driving my 2006 murano, i went over a set of train tracks which is quickly followed by an intersection. just before i hit the tracks, a car pulled out in front of me from the upcoming intersection. as i went over the tracks applying the brakes, the drivers side sunvisor dropped obstructing my view of traffic. i nearly missed an accident. the sunvisor falling into the drivers view at random is a definite problem. i have searched the forums online and found this to be a common problem for the sunvisors to fail. a replacement at the dealer is about $500. nissan does not see the safety issue in this and will not replace the dangerous sunvisors once out of the 3 year 36000 mile warranty. mine failed at 3 years and 2 months, with 32000 miles on the vehicle. i tell you about the one time i almost was in a serious accident because of the sunvisor, but it falls down in my face on a regular basis. about every 20 or so minutes of driving. nissan needs to recall their dangerous sunvisors, they can drop down in the drivers view at any time. i nearly hit a lady in the drivers door. *tr

The driver's seat in our 2006 nissan murano started flopping around. we took it to the dealer and he says that we need to spend $1000 to fix the seat. we have been on the internet and it sounds like this is a major problem with this car. it is definitely a dangerous define defect. *tr

2006 nissan murano driver seat broke loose from track, almost wrecked vehicle getting to the dealer. this should be under a recall w/ mnfctr , but nissan will not pay for the repairs in full (met me at 50%), but this is a serious defect that is not that uncommon from what i have read now. this must be recalled. *tr

While driving, the driver seat suddenly broke loose, startling the driver but thankfully kept the vehicle under control. upon inspection noticed the rear out side metal bracket is cracked in half at two places. seat is not secure and unsafe to drive. apparently there are many known issues with this. action should be taken to prevent any deaths, not after deaths occur. common sense should prevail here and recognize there is a design flaw that is a serious threat to drivers, passengers other motorists, and pedestrians. *tr

I have a 2006 nissan murano and on the left side the seat dropped down while driving at approximately 35 mph after hitting a bump. previously i had taken the dealer with complaints of rocking and clicking sounds but no condition could be found. after the seat broke i took it to my local dealer who per tsb05-043c found drivers seat lifter broke and replaced lifter link under nissan factory warranty. the seat still does rock but is attached to the left side and is secure. i am contacting the local dealer for their response to the issue. *tr

I heard a snapping sound while driving my 2006 nissan murano, and the drivers seat tilted back and to the left. upon getting out of the vehicle and checking the seat manually, the left backside moved up and down 1-2". i took the vehicle to a nissan dealer and was quoted $1189.87 to replace the seat adjuster assembly. the part has to be ordered so the repair has not been done yet, but will be when the part comes in, and i will keep the old part when replaced. *tr updated 09/14/09

2006 nissan murano driver seat broken at 73k miles. this is a major safety concern as the welding under the seat snapped while i was driving at 65mph and the seat now rocks back and forth. car is out warranty and nissan wants $1,000 to fix this problem. after some internet research, i have learned that this is a very common problem in 03-07 muranos. my seat is no longer stable and if i were to get into an accident i do not know what would happen. there should be a recall issued. *tr

The issue is with the front driver's side seat in my 2006 nissan murano. a part in the track has broken and now the seat sways back and forth when sitting in at and driving. it was started "creaking" several months ago, but just finally snapped about 2 months ago. the dealer has said it will cost upwards of $1000 to fix this, but i have seen countless other reports of this same problem online, so it sounds like this should be a recall on nissan's part to address this clear safety issue.*tr

Sun visor on 2006 murano does not stay up or in the proper place. i have to either hold or use my hand as a shield from glare of sun. i am very disappointed to see that others have the same complaint. i always felt that the interior quality of the murano was good. i believe that there should be a recall since this does not appear to be an isolated incident. *tr

In february of this year, my 2006 nissan murano began to stall as i was driving. i brought my car into the dealership and was told that the bello boot was loose. i paid to have the fuel injection system cleaned. could this be related to recall #09v16900. *tr

I own a 2006 nissan murano and it currently has approximately 56000 miles on it. the seat drivers side seat frame/track is currently broken. this causes the seat to tilt toward the door and also it is not fully attached. we attempted to address the defect with nissan and john miller of field operations at kelly nissan. they first told us that we were responsible for fixing the defect for $860.00 and then reduced it to $350.00. after we indicated that it was a defect and the manufacturer should pay for it, the offer was retracted. my wife dawn grochowiak was spoken to in an unprofessional manner after indicating she was pregnant and feared for her safety. *tr

Drivers seat rocks and leans to the left. this is extremely dangerous if in an accident or brake right side brakes how do you maneuver car if you are in the rear seat, talk about backseat driver, this will be a reality, i have never seen a steering wheel in the back seat nor do i want to experience it. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. the seat track was broken in two places of the driver front seat. the entire seat was rocking from side to side. there were no existing recalls. the contact would be responsible for replacing the seat for $1,000. the manufacturer stated that in three months the warranty will expire. the failure mileage was 47,000.

Was traveling close to 70mph on freeway when driver seat completely broke. my body collapsed to the left side and forced me to lean against driver door. i swerved and nearly hit a vehicle because of this. apparently, a weld in the seat assembly broke. my vehicle is out of warranty and nissan refuses to cover the damage which is obviously a defect. upon talking to other nissan murano owners, this is a common issue. i still have not repaired the seat as nissan is charging nearly $1,000 for the repair. i currently have wooden blocks underneath the seat to prop it up. occasionally the wood slides out and i have to pull over to replace it for safety reasons. i believe this is a huge safety issue. my vehicle is a 2006 nissan murano with just over 60,000 miles on it currently. *tr

2006 nissan murano w/ 35,000 mi. - driver's side sun visor won't stay in position- very dangerous- sun in eyes and must hold it in place. dealer wants over $400.00 to replace!!! *tr

2006 nissan murano. front driver's 8-way power seat. my wife told me that one side of the seat, the right (transmission selector) side, was jammed and would not move forward and back causing the seat to "pivot" in position. i could not see an foreign object stuck under the seat that would cause this so i took it to the local chrysler dealer. they told me that the gears that mesh together to direct the movement of the seat were stripped and that the entire 8-way rack mechanism had to be replaced, to the tune of over $900.00!!. the service tech said that this was a common problem on the murano and is usually caused when the driver leans back hard against the back of the seat and lifts up his or her fanny, as when entering the vehicle and adjusting pant legs or a dress before starting to drive (something everyone does all the time). after reluctantly paying to have this work done i took the old seat rack home and took it apart. sure enough, two gears on the right-hand side of the rack were stripped of several worm-teeth, however, the gears themselves are less than 1/2" in diameter and made of cheap nylon! you would think that these would be made of metal. also, the gears themselves could be removed quite easily from the assembly. i don't understand at all why the entire seat assembly had to be replaced except as a profit maker for the dealer. after seeing all of the exact same complaints on this particular vehicle on various car complaint web-sites it is obvious that nissan should be required to recall these vehicles and replace these defective gears.*tr

2006 nissan murano sl driver and passenger side sun visors suddenly drop without warning; when needed to block the sun when driving they do not stay in place, they just hang straight down. the visors started falling within 1 month of each other; it is not covered under warranty; replacements cost $400 apiece. i feel the cost is prohibitive and unreasonable and should be included in a recall as it causes a safety hazard when driving. *tr

2006 nissan murano defective drivers seat. for no apparent reason seat started to rock form side to side when making turns. i thought it was a loose bolt but could not find one. when i turned the car in at the end of my lease period, nissan wanted to charge me for a broken driver seat molding. i have noticed that there are many other similar complaints. in addition, service managers at nissan have seen this problem frequently. this happens from metal fatigue and during normal wear and tear, not be abusive driving habits. there should be a factory recall on this issue. *tr

Sun visor flips down, blocking driver's view unexpectedly. *tr

Turned a corner at normal speed and was almost tossed out of the seat. the seat lifted in the back left corner of the drivers seat. not a pleasant or safe feeling to have your seat feel like it is flying off of the floor. a car seat should remain firmly attached to the seat. even if the seat itself doesn't cause accidents for people - the feeling you get of losing control could easily cause a driver to steer into an accident. i was shocked to read online how many people have this problem and the general lack of concern about it from nissan. this is a driver safety issue and very alarming to have happen to you while turning onto a busy road. *tr

2006 nissan murano driver seat "rocking" this looks like it is a very common problem. i am 130lbs!! the seat is broken. i was driving and it broke!! *tr

My wife was driving down the road and made a left hand turn and the driver's seat suddenly tipped to the right. what had happened is the seat track broke on the left side and must now be replaced. consequently, the seat tips to the right every time you make a left hand turn. it tilts to the left when sitting in it. i believe that if we were to get in an accident prior to the repair the seat would dislodge from its mount. we had the dealer check out the problem and the seat track assembly is available for order and replacement. it will take 2-4 days to receive the part. this vehicle is only three years old, the repair is over $800 and not warrantied past 36,000 miles. *tr

I have a 2006 nissan murano and the driver's seat suddenly became unstable while driving. it snapped back several inches mid drive and now rocks from right to left. i am told the repair is going to cost upwards of $1000 and it will not be covered under warranty. i have read numerous descriptions of the same problem and am now concerned that i am unsafe while driving. *tr

2006 nissan murano; high pressure power steering line failed at 36344 miles. caused temporary loss of control of vehicle, and fluids to leak from vehicle. dozens of other similar failures documented on various website and nissan blogs. no recall to date, however this seems to have been a common problem since the 2004 model year. vehicle is driven under normal conditions, and on average less than 20 miles per day/500 miles per week. to date, nissan, and it's local dealership have refused to make this repair to the vehicle, as it was a mere 344 miles past the warranty expiration. estimated cost to make necessary repairs is $800 to $1000. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving approximately 35 mph and proceeding to turn left, the driver's seat began to tilt to the left without assistance. the failure occurs when making left turns. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection and the adjustment anchor bracket was deemed to be the cause of the failure. the repair cost was estimated at $1,000. the vehicle has not been repaired. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 65,000 and current mileage was 70,000.

There was no warning but one day the driver's seat stopped moving on the left side. essentially, the seat would just hook to the left whenever i tried to move the seat and whenever you started the car (since this car has an automatic seat adjust feature upon starting and turning off the engine). i took the car to the dealership to see what the problem was and it resulted in needing a new seat track. unless the repair is made, which nissan consumer affairs will not take responsibility for, the seat remains in a position that is not appropriate for me, the main driver. additionally, i am the only driver of this vehicle and would not ever move the seat causing this damage to it. the vehicle has a feature that causes the seat to move each and every time you get in and out of it, on it's own. this is what caused the damage since i never manually move the seat. i have seen many other complaints about this same issue on websites such as nissanmurano.org. this is a safety issue. nissan will not rectify this issue and has not recalled the vehicle for this problem. *tr

Driver seat wobble, left and right. having this problem for past 3 months. dealer says it will cost $900 to fix. i can feel something is broken under the seat. my wife needs to adjust it to go forward, we are always afraid if seat will come loose when moving forward. *tr

I was driving my 2006 nissan murano s awd (bought new in january 2006) when the driver's seat snapped to the rear left nearing causing an accident on the highway. there is a tsb on this problem and i have become a member of a large group that can expect the seat frame to break every 2 to 3 years. it seems that nissan has a design problem that needs to be addressed, but not at my expense or life. this should be viewed as an extreme safety issue. the dealer fix is over $1000 since there is no safety recall at this time. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. on may 5, 2009, the contact noticed that the driver's seat was tilted. the frame appeared to be misaligned. the vehicle was taken to the dealer because the contact suspected that some screws were loose. the dealer stated that the seat frame failed and needed to be replaced. the contact feels that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect because the vehicle was only three years old. the current and failure mileages were 55,000.

Was driving down the road doing 25mph to the intersection and made a left hand turn on the already green light. while in the middle of the turn the back left portion of my seat lifted up several inches causing me to lean suddenly to the right. managed to regain control through the turn. now when making left hand turns i have to hold on to my door handle with my left hand to avoid causing the seat to lift and lean extremely to the right even under mild speed. once i got home i took the left side plastic panel off the drivers seat and upon lifting up the rear left corner of the seat could see where the cross support bracket had broken the two small contact points with the side bracket. will try to take it to the local nissan dealership tomorrow to hopefully have repaired/replaced under warranty. *tr

I was driving my 2006 nissan murano (purchased new january 2006) with about 45k miles on it when---while driving, the drivers seat rocked to the left/left rear, clearly broken. side-to-side lurching movement of the seat happens constantly. i took it to the nissan dealership where i bought the car in cedar rapids iowa. they told me the drivers seat track was broken and gave an estimate of $1,035.09 to repair. this included $675.30 drivers seat track part. the part number listed on the estimate was 87450-ca06a this was not covered under warranty due to mileage (47k at time of their diagnosis). this has to be a major safety concern, particularly if any accident occurred, at which time a secured seat would be imperative. i can't imagine that this basic equipment has a lifespan of less than three years, yet when i researched this incident online, i found many, many complaints of the same "broken seat" in 2006 and 2005 murano model years. *tr

Recently purchased a 2006 nissan murano. i thought my seat was not adjusted properly, but i now realize the seat is broken. the seat leans to the left so much, that it makes it very uncomfortable to drive. this is ridiculous on a car with 40,000 miles and just three years old. *tr

The driver side sun visor falls down during driving. there are tons of complaints from other nissan drivers who are having the same problem with the same and different year model. this is a serious safety hazard and should be the responsibility of nissan to recall and fix. i have nearly crashed dozens of times while driving because the visor falls down and blocks my view. *tr

Nissan murano 2006 model, seat assembly bracket broke (part # 87450-ca68a )... and as i checked i found out that it has happened with many other murano guys as well... this is dangerous if it breaks again while driving and looks like a faulty part, spent around 500 dollars to get ot done... *tr

The bracket holding the driver's seat in the rear left section of the seat has broken. the car has 41,000 miles and is a 2006 nissan murano. i did some research and this seems to be a very common problem. the result is a seat that now leans and is only connected to the mounting points at 3 locations instead of 4. *tr

I had a failure of the drivers seat in my 2006 nissan murano. after checking with the parts department at my local nissan dealer (olathe nissan) i found the part broken was part number 87450+a. replacement of that portion of my seat will result in a cost of approximately $650.00 parts, plus labor for installation. i'm still within the 3 year warranty period, but over the 35k mile and was told this would not be covered under warranty. there is a tsb on this problem and seems as i have become a member of a large group that can expect the potential for having this repair every 2 to 3 years. it seems that nissan has a design problem that needs to be addressed, but not at my expense life or money. this should be viewed as an extreme safety issue, as it broke when i was driving making it very difficult to drive! *tr

2006 nissan murano now with 45000 miles on it. since less than 5k mi, the car does 2 things that may be in relation to each other: 1) when driving at constant speed on flat road between 40 & 70+ mph, the rpm's will jump up 500-1000rpms for a brief moment- almost feels and sounds like the engine is slipping out of gear and then back in. or could be that it detects a slight pressure on pedal (linkage/sender whatever) and downshifts then jumps back down? it does this with cruise control on as well. 2) also, acceleration is sluggish when leisurely proceeding from a stop, or very slow speed (say making a 90 degree turn from a stop of slow pace). while pushing on pedal, rpms and engine will actually decrease to about 1000-1500rps causing car to lag (big safety issue for i have almost been hit by other cars due to this). does not do if i do a hard accelerate (but i don't drive that way...jack rabbit starts). dealership confirmed #1 and replaced tranny. still did it both problems. dealership replaced computer for tranny. still does both, but #1 does not happen as often (used to happen 3+ times in a 15 minute period of less, not does 1-3x per hour maybe- i have stopped tracking). i let the dealership know when i bring for service, but i give up- car is out of warranty now. i'll return the lease. too bad- love the car, just feel there is something very wrong that they weren't able to find. i have found other reports of same like problems. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while driving approximately 55 mph on normal road conditions, the front driver's side seat unexpectedly collapsed backwards. the driver maneuvered the steering wheel to avoid traffic and pulled over to the side of the road. the vehicle was cautiously driven to her residence and then taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. the technician recommended that the seat frame be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired because the failure was excluded from the extended warranty. currently, the vehicle is inoperative. the failure and current mileages were 43,633.

I drive a 2005 nissan murano sl. the vehicle periodically does not safely accelerate while in busy traffic. i had my wife, 2 year old daughter, and 5 year old daughter in the car at the time of making a left turn at a major intersection. the vehicle sluggishly stalled in the middle of the left turn at the intersection and temporarily stalled and could have caused us to be hit by oncoming traffic. the engine revved up to about 4000 rpm's then proceeding to accelerate. i see this problem as a major safety and health issue and can be the root cause of a major accident resulting in death to involved parties. please be proactive as opposed to reactive and start the process for a recall of this defective vehicle. *tr

The vehicle's current problem is that the alternator is malfunctioned, and defected which causes the engine and battery to shut off and die. this already occurred more than 3 times. in addition, the oil tank pipe leaks. this is very dangerous because when the defected alternator fails, then it causes the battery and engine to shut off and die. if a person is driving a defected vehicle that has a defected and malfunctioned alternator that causes the engine to shutoff and die in the middle of a highway or street then a huge accident can occur and it will cause the driver and passengers to die or even get severely or permanently injured. this vehicle definitely has a recall, malfunctioned, and defected alternator. i bought my vehicle that is under warranty to the nissan service dept but they never admit that it is the defected alternator problem and never fix it. they just provide and install a new battery in my vehicle. but that does not solve the problem because the battery power gets drained and it dies and shuts off the engine. this already happened to me over 3 times and nissan's service dept never resolves this important problem. this urgent problem needs to taken cared of asap or else it will be dangerous for driver and passenger's life. *tr

I was driving along and i heard a snap when i got home i looked under the seat and indeed the seat frame bracket snapped in two places. the back left bracket of my drivers seat snapped in a y pattern. i have not replaced it yet because nissan wants $900 to replace it. i feel that it is a manufacture defect not normal wear and tear. it is a definite safety issue, when your left rear anchor is not holding your seat in place. *tr

I have a 2006 nissan murano. approx. 6 months ago the driver's seat would start squeaking whenever i made any turns or drove over bumps. it sounds like plastic grinding. on 12/12/08, i sat in the seat and the frame broke. the driver's seat now rocks from side to side whenever you turn. this is a safety issue as your feet will come off the gas or break whenever you turn. i went on the web, and there are several public forums from murano owners complaining about the same issue. nissan is aware of the problem, but will not take any any action. the local nissan dealer will only replace the whole seat for $1,200.00 and not try to fix the root of the problem. if they want you to buy a whole new seat, what is to prevent this from occurring again? unacceptable. nissan needs to recall this seat, because it is a safety issue. *tr

On oct. 19th my wife was driving are 2006 nissan murano, i was in the passenger seat and are son was in the back. we had just pulled away from the house and we heard a load pop. my wife said i think the seat just broke. we continued on to home depot and there i examined the seat and yes the seat was broken as the back left section of the seat is unattached from the frame and can be raised and lowered at will. we called the local dealership monday oct. 20th and they reaffirmed that the seat assembly was broken and the part would be 615.00 and the labor another 200 plus dollars. i made a call to consumer affairs and after almost two weeks of discussions with them they were willing to only allow for a 200.00 good will reimbursement. i explained that this is not a mechanical part but a structural part and that it should not have broken especially on a 2 year old vehicle with 53000 miles. i explaining that the car was unsafe to drive in its condition and that nissan should stand behind it. there are many instances of individuals having this same issue if you search the web for it as well as a service bulletin post by nissan about this issue. this is a structural part not a mechanical part and with it broken it makes the car unsafe for me, my wife and our son. we will have the vehicle repaired on oct. 31 as are family is dependent on the vehicle for transportation. *tr

After owning my 2006 nissan murano for just over two years the lower seat brace has broken and the seat leans and lifts in a left hand turn. i have researched this problem online and have found many complaints for the exact same problem. this i feel is a safety issue that the company is unwilling to fix at no cost. i hope the numbers of complaints will trigger some response. thank you for your consideration. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. while making a turn at an unknown speed, the driver's seat rocked over towards the driver's side door. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the frame failed. the current mileage was 42,800 and failure mileage was 42,760.

Traveling at 35 mph approaching intersection where light had turned red. began decelerating as i approached the stopped traffic. getting closer, to the stopped traffic, i began to brake. i felt a "catch" on the brake pedal, and then it failed and went all the way to the floor. i tried braking four or five times again, but the brake went to the floor and i watched as if in "slow motion" as i knew i would be hitting a large auto transport truck in front of me. since i had already began decelerating and the amount of damage done to my vehicle in comparison to the size of a double decker auto transport truck was not that extensive , i am guessing i was traveling approx. 25 to 30 mph at the time of impact. the airbag was deployed on impact. the brakes following the accident were fine; however, i am concerned about this failure occurring again. i have read that there have been complaints about squeaking brakes with the 2006 nissan murano which we have experienced. i am concerned that there may be a computer glitch or problem with the abs, and could this happen again. the vehicle is currently at the dealership for repair of damage, and i will be going there to discuss the braking problem. *tr

Driver side sun visor fails to stay up. this causes a vision problem that impedes driving severely!! *tr

Driver seat broken. took to dealer and they said they would talk to nissan about repairing it. car has 42k miles on it. they have not returned my calls. this is a huge safety issue and they should repair it immediately. *tr

My 2006 nissan murano felt as though the drivers seat was leaning to the left. then it became obviously loose/wobbly, so much so that it feels as though the seat will fall over going around a turn. i had it checked and was told there was a mechanism that had broke under the seat, that the whole thing would have to be replaced and could cost as much as $1,200! it doesn't seem safe, yet i don't have that kind of money, and now seeing that this is a common occurrence w/ murano's-certainly nissan would have to take responsibility and do a recall before someone gets injured because of this. i find driving it myself is getting more difficult because of how wobbly the seat is-but i can't afford to fix it. when the seat leans, the steering wheel gets pulled too. this is a serious safety issue. *tr

My driver side sun visor has failed and pops down with every hard bump in the road. this seems to have failed on a lot of 2006 nissan murano's. this is a safety issue if it blocks sight at the wrong time. *tr

I started noticing that the seat was leaning to the left more and more. i looked under the seat and a seat bracket under the driver seat in my car has broken. although this seams to be a serious safety issue the dealer refuses to fix it unless i pay over $1000. i did a search online, and found that this is a fairly common problem in this vehicle. *tr

The driver side seat bracket gave way when i was driving my nissan murano. no warning sings or hints of instability was displayed before the break. "bracket" meaning the device that holds the seat to the frame, mounted to the car floor. researching this problem i found it this is a common occurrence with the nissan murano the dealer is denying this fact. your attention on this matter is appreciated. *tr

This past week i had two transmission rubber lines break. one on a trip upstate near the delaware water gap. i was able to fix the problem by installing a new rubber line. the old hose just broke off in my hands. we drove home fine. the second time it happened last night, the other hose broke off. the car is now going be towed to the dealership. transmission fluid is flammable. this is not safe. the car is only two years old and the rubber lines should not break off like they did. *tr

I purchased a used 2006 nissan murano in march of this year. yesterday i was getting into my car to go home from work and was placing my laptop computer bag in the backseat and rested my hand on the driver's seat. the seat was noticeably unstable and unsecured. i investigated under the seat to determine whether or not it had become detached from the track, it had not, the power seat still moves back and forth. i drove it home with my seat unlevel and my husband took a look and discovered the thin metal support rod had broke at the connection point. this has never happened to me on a car ever. i am very disappointed that a more expensive car would miss a step so critical to comfort. *tr

Tl* - the contact has a 2006 nissan murano. the contact stated that in the midst of driving the windshield wipers would completely stop working until the following day. the contact stated that this was a design problem because the ice went down below the hood, and it stopped the windshield wipers from working. the ice prevented the windshield wipers from going all the way down and then come back up. the contact stated that the windshield wipers must be able to go all the way down in order for them to work properly. she would just like to have it fixed, because she did not want to be afraid to drive in a storm. the contact was told by the dealer that she should lift the hood and clean the area where the windshield wipers were. this happened once before in another storm, and she was able to get the windshield wipers going again. each time this happened the contact was in a bad storm. the failure and current mileage were both 4600 .*ak update *4/23/07 *tr

Problem (continuing to) fill-up with fuel when using gas pumps with vapor recovery: for the most part, the pump trigger should not be opened to maximum otherwise will trigger a shut-off; however, if a slight jerk back of the pump occurs, will trigger a stop and can no longer continue fill-up even though the tank is not even close to being topped off. researching the web had revealed that this happens to many later-model vehicles. *nm

Murano is still continuing to have problems with the coolant and dealer can not find out what is wrong with it so they can not fix it. contacted nissan and they refuse to replace or re-purchase my vehicle. at this time it has been seen by the dealer 5 times documented, 2 times undocumented. i feel like this falls into the lemon law, so i will be filling a lemon law suit against nissan at this time. i like my murano but this needs to be corrected. *jb

Taken to dealer several times for continuous smell of coolant coming from vehicle when motor gets hot. dealer continues to claim that nothing is wrong with it. recently took a trip to tennessee and the coolant in the reservoir was almost gone by the time i got back home. if anyone else is having this problem nissan should know about it. at this time nothing has been repaired or replaced and we still have the smell of the coolant coming from our vehicle. *nm

I have a 2006 nissan murano sl. the recurring problem i have is that when filling up with gas, the pump stops generally after pumping only 0.5 gallons to 3 gallons. often, i can not fill it up anymore at that pump. sometimes, i can start to fill it up at a slower rate and continue to get the rest of the gas in the tank. this has happened at 7 or 8 different stations in town, at numerous pumps - so it is not a case where 1 pump at a station is pumping too fast (as was used as the initial excuse). i have read in forums of this exact same problem, in addition someone at my dealer has confirmed they have seen this before. yet my murano is currently in the shop for the 3rd time since may 2006. they have cleaned the rollover float and are now replacing the tank assembly. one more time qualifies for the lemon law in illinois. *nm

On 4 occasions my nissan murano 06 after stepping on the brakes, the vehicle continued to roll. this happened on a flat road, the vehicle only has ~1300 miles. i believe it is the abs. i took it to the dealership and they said no trouble code, there was nothing to fix. *jb

While on a three hour road trip, my 11 year old son was riding in the back seat (behind) driver of my recently purchased 2006 nissan murano. he was playing with the middle seat belt which retracts from the ceiling and somehow wrapped the seat belt and knotted around his neck. my 19 year old daughter was in the back also and tried to unsuccessfully loosen the seat belt. we pulled over on the highway, my son started to panic and each time he moved the seat belt got tighter and tighter. me and my fiance tried to get the seat belt off or at least loosen. at this point my son could not breathe and his face was red and lips starting to turn purple. luckily my fiance had a pocket knife and we were able to cut the seat belt. if we did not have a knife, i am sure my son would have died. if there were a safety mechanism that could release the seat belt we would not have been through this terrible ordeal. *nm

While my vehicle was on a lift to check the alignment, the mechanic noticed that the entire back suspension frame was completly rusted out. if i had been driving and hit a bump the wrong way, i would have lost the back end suspension and lost control of my car. after looking online about this problem, there were numerous and numerous complaints about this problem. i contacted nissan and there has been no recall on this dangerous, faulty frame.

Alternator failed a few months ago. had it replaced twice, as the next day it failed again. now, my brake light and battery light are on again, and everything i've read says this means alternator failure again. this happened the first time as well.

The rear sub frame of the car has rusted through and broken in several places.

Continuously variable transmission (cvt) manufacturer defect. driver and passenger safety hazard. vehicle unpredictably looses power and decelerates. abrupt, uncontrolled loss of power presents a significant crash potential. driver is challenged to maintain control of the vehicle and safely maneuver and negotiate traffic, particularly at highway speeds. this transmission defect has been widely reported by nissan murano owners. *tr

Recently my 2006 nissan murano started making grinding noises when going up hills and turning corners. after taking it to a few shops who said it might be the cvt transmission that was covered under an extended warranty since so many people have had issues, i went and took it to the dealer. their diagnosis was a electronic coupler assembly failure which has to do with my rear differential. the car is not balancing the load properly and the transmission is slipping. there is a 2 month waiting list for this part because it has gone bad in so many nissan vehicles. yet there has been no recall and no extended warranty put on it. the vehicle is said to be relatively unsafe to drive but they are months out on getting parts in for it to be fixed. *js

Fuel gauge started to failed and check engine light turned on. failed the state inspection due to emissions. i took the vehicle to the dealer and quoted for replace the two failing fuel sending units $99 to inspect + $700 part & labor. of course is not covered by nissan. how many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? i am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. after reading complaints about seat collapsing, wheel bearing going out, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, steering hoses braking causing fire, in vehicles with low mileage i cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. the fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. this is my first and last nissan vehicle. writing letter to the ceo, vice president total customer satisfaction, vice president manufacturing quality and parts & service nissan north america, inc. *tr

This is the third time my airbag light was flashing. the last two times the car was still under warranty i took it to the dealer and it was fixed. the whole passenger seat had to be replaced the second time. now the warranty has expired and the passenger air bag is flashing again. i have to take it to the dealer however, i feel this should be on a recall list. i have been reading about the problems that a lot of drivers are having with their murano's air bags. i have tried resetting by turning the car "on" and "off" several time and as well as removing the battery. nothing has worked, i don't think i should have to pay for the dealer to fix it again.
