2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

LEFT SEAT INITIALLY STOPPED FRONT TO BACK MOVEMENT. THE RIGHT SIDE WOULD TRY TO MOVE BUT LEFT WOULD NOT MOVE. YESTERDAY THE SEAT BROKE LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $1000.00. AFTER SPENDING TIME ON LINE, IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND A SAFETY BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS PART COULD BREAK IN AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER. *TR

THE HEAT DOES NOT COME ON, EVEN AFTER THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE HAS REACHED FULL OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE. *TR

DOOR LOCKS STARTING WITH DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER AND NOW THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK UNLESS MANUALLY CHANGED WITH LEVER OR KEY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED PASSENGER DOORS ARE RANDOM HOWEVER ARE STARTING TO SHOW SIMILAR SIGNS THANKS IN ADVANCE. *JS

I COULD NOT MOVE MY POWER SEAT TO DRIVE AND S TERRIFIED EVERY TIME I DRIVE.FOR NO REASON MY SEAT STOPPED GOING FORWARD AND BACK AND THEN IT WOULD SWIVEL ON THE TRACK. . THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE VERIFIED I NEEDED A NEW POWER SEAT. I CALLED NISSAN CORP THAT NIGHT AND VOICED MY CONCERN AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER, BUT WAS TOLD I HAD TO GO TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I MADE THE FOR THE NEXT DAY. TOOK THE CAR IN TO LOKEY NISSAN ON 7/01/04. THEY VERIFIED I NEEDED A LOWER SEAT ASSEMBLY AND A FINISHER ASSEMBLY (WHICH HOLDS THE WIRES). THE PARTS ARE $1300. AND LABOR $395.89. I THEN CALLED APRIL BACK (AS SHE INSTRUCTED) @ NISSAN 1-800-647-7261 (4 OR 5 TIMES) AND ALL I GOT WAS HER RECORDING. THE CASE # IS: [XXX] AND APRIL IS @ 457248. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A USED PART AND MY MECHANIC COULD INSTALL IT, BUT AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET HOW MANY MORENO OWNER'S THIS HAPPEN'S TO, I AM APPALLED. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON 04 - 06 MORENO'S FAULTY FRONT POWER SEAT AND OR IMPROPER FORWARD/BACKWARD MOVEMENT. AND SPECIAL BULLETINS WENT OUT TO ALL TECHNICAL SERVICE PERSONNEL TO AMEND AND INCORPORATE NTB-5-056 INTO THEIR SERVICE MANUALS. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BOTH ON DISABILITY AND DO NOT HAVE $1600. TO FIX NISSAN'S MISTAKE. I FEEL I AM IN DANGER EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, NISSAN WON'T RETURN MY PHONE CALLS, WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES WHO TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP...BIG WASTE OF TIME AND GET A SERVICE RECORD GOING.SO IN ALL: NISSAN CORP KNOWS THAT THE SEAT SLIDE MOTOR OR GEAR ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO REPLACED FOR ANY REASON, THAT THE POWER SEAT HAS VOLTAGE TO IT, BUT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THE SEAT ALSO MOVES WHILE DRIVING IT BECAUSE THE SEAT WON'T STAY ON THE TRACK: IT BECOMES CROOKED ON THE SEAT TRACKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS

DRIVERS SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT, SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. *TR

IN 2013 I HAD TO HAVE MY DRIVER SEAT BRACKET WELDED DUE TO IT BREAKING. MY AIRBAG LIGHTS FLASH CONTINUOUSLY SINCE ABOUT 2006 AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN GOES OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID IT COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS FROM CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO AN EXHAUST ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE TRIAL AND ERROR TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WOULD REMY THE PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR WONT STAY UP AND MY ALTERNATOR KEEPS DRAINING MY BATTERY SO I HAVE TO REPLACE YEARLY. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. *TR
