2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

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 [XXX]. 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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT CAME LOOSE AT BASE AND ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP HAS SAID THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR IS BROKEN. *TR

I AM ADDING TO A GROWING COMPLAINT WITH IN NISSAN MURANO OWNERS THAT MY TRANSFER CASE NOW NEEDS REPAIRS (THE SEALS ARE LEAKING) AT 92000 MILES. LUCKILY I AM NOT EXPERIENCING POWER FAILURES. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS ARE ESTIMATED AT $2000. I AM DEMANDING A RECALL AND FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE PART WITH A TEST QUALITY PART FOR MY SAFETY AN ALL THOSE DRIVING NISSAN MURANO'S. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT ASSEMBLY FRACTURED AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT LENGTH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,328.

THE BRACKET THAT SUPPORTS THE FRONT SEAT BROKE WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN. IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE, FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. *TR

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

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.

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

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
