2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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?

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.

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.

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.........
