2003 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED I NOTICED POWER SEAT WAS TILTING SIDEWAYS WHEN ADJUSTING. MY TODDLER WAS ABLE TO PUSH WITH BOTH FEET HARD ENOUGH TO MAKE THE SEAT LEAN SIDEWAYS AS WELL. GOD FORBID I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT!! TOOK INTO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO IN TURN EXPLAINED THIS WAS PART OF THE TRIM PACKAGE SINCE IT WAS A POWER SEAT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A METAL PART WITH NO ELECTRONIC FUNCTION. TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THIS LITTLE BRACKET, JUST A MERE $1,600. I'M SURE THIS MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF MAJOR INJURIES AND MAY HAVE EVEN COSTS LIVES. A RECALL WOULD BE NICE NISSAN! WAY TO GO SHOW CONCERN AND BACK YOUR PRODUCT, I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT CAR SHUT OFF ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH LIT UP. SINCE NO POWER TO CAR I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN OR USE MY BRAKES EFFECTIVELY. I WAS STOPPED IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY FOUR WAY LIGHTS. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AS WE WERE UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. SECOND INCIDENT: WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 35 MILES AN HOUR ONCE AGAIN CAR TURNED OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO USE GAS OR BRAKES RELATED TO NO POWER. I BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET ABOUT HALFWAY INTO THE TURN LANE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS TE I WAS ABLE TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND AFTER A FEW UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO START MY CAR IT FINALLY BEGAN RUNNING AGAIN. *TR

DRIVER SEAT FRAME BROKEN AND STARTED ROCKING BACK AND FORTH REAR DRIVER SIDE TO FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. SEAT FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME FRACTURED FROM THE RIGHT SIDE, PUSHING THE DRIVER TOWARD THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 116,000.

WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND HEARD THUMPING SOUNDS FROM THE ENGINE. SLOWED DOWN TOWARDS THE SIDE AND THE NOISE STARTED INCREASING. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HITTING THE ENGINE WITH A SLEDGE HAMMER. I PARKED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND UNDER THE CAR. I SAW SOMETHING LEAKING. I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY TRANSFER CASE. COST TO FIX WAS CLOSE TO $5,000. I CONTACTED NISSAN FOR HELP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I ASKED IF THIS PROBLEM WAS COMMON AND THEY REPLIED NO. I HAD THE CAR FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND 14 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WARRANTY WAS FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES WHICH EVER CAME FIRST. I WAS OVER BY 2 MONTHS BUT MILEAGE WAS UNDER. THEY QUOTED ME ADDITIONAL $3,000 TO FIX. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STILL AT THE MECHANICS BECAUSE I AM STILL IN SHOCK OF BEING FORCED TO PAY $8,000 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND WITHIN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. *TR

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE VISORS WILL RANDOMLY FALL FROM THE UP POSITION AND OBSTRUCT VIEW. WHEN DRIVING CAR, THIS BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE SUN VISORS ARE BOTH DEFECTIVE, THERE IS NO POSITION THAT THE VISORS WILL STAY OTHER THAN STRAIGHT DOWN - BLOCKING VIEW. IF THE CAR GOES OVER A BUMP, THE VISOR WILL DROP DOWN. WHY EVEN INSTALL A SUN VISOR IF IT DOES NOT BLOCK THE SUN? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE FROM STOPS. THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY JERKED FORWARD WHEN IT FINALLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THEN THE CAR LOST POWER. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC TO FIND OUT MY FUEL PUMP FUSE BLEW. SINCE THEN WITHIN A MONTH TIME MY CAR HAS LOST POWER TWICE AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED RUNNING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. PUTTING MYSELF AND KIDS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE FIRST TIME AND A HOUR THE SECOND TIME I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL, TURNED THE KEY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I PURCHASED MY 2003 MURANO ONLY 4 MONTHS AGO AND NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE HERE TODAY SCARED TO DRIVE. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE THESE COMPLAINTS MUCH MORE SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOMEONE LOSE THEIR LIFE BEHIND THIS DEFECT. *TR
