2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

GOT IN MY CAR AND FELT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT TILT. THE ARM UNDER THE SEAT BROKE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE INTERNET. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO FATALITIES AS OF YET, IT IS A PROBLEM NISSAN IS AWARE OF YET WILL NOT FIX. IT COSTS $500 AT MY NISSAN DEALER TO FIX THE SEAT BECAUSE IT IS "OUT OF WARRANTY". I KNOW THAT THIS PROBABLY WILL JUST BE PUT IN A FILE BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOME FAMILY OUT THERE WILL BE MISSING A FAMILY MEMBER IN DEATH DUE TO A FIXABLE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO DEAL WITH. *TR

SEAT FRAME BRACKET ON DRIVER SEAT SNAPPED. PROBLEM IS WIDELY REPORTED ONLINE. AVOIDED DEALER RIPOFF FEE OF OVER $1,000 BY HAVING INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WELD THE FAILED HARDWARE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ALTERNATOR WIRES HAD FAILED AND THE BATTERY WAS UNABLE TO BE CHARGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,923.

THE INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM AND THE KEY FOB DO NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS CONSISTENTLY. THEY DO NOT UNLOCK THE DRIVER OR FRONT PASSENGER DOORS AT ALL, AND FROM TIME TO TIME WILL UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

ISSUE WITH THE SUN VISOR ON BOTH SIDES. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN FALLING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO FALL. POOR WORKMANSHIP ON THE PART OF NISSAN AND IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED. *TR

CAR DEVELOPED LOAD RUMBLING IN THE FRONT END. PROGRESSIVELY GETTING LOUDER. CAR THEN BEGAN TO SURE AND OR LOOSE POWER AT RANDOM INTERVALS .. AS SO MANY OTHERS HAVE STATED CVT FAILING. LEARNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE FACT. WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD FILED COMPLAINTS WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE OR HELP FROM NISSAN. NO RECALL NO HELP GETTING CAR CREDIT, AS IT IS VALUELESS IN TRADE AT DEALER. FORTUNATE THAT MINE SEEMED TO LAST LONGER THAN MOST. COST 4 TO 6 THOUSAND TO FIX... MORE THAN CAR IS WORTH AT THIS POINT. LEFT WITH NO WAY GETTING RID OF IT OR GETTING NEW VEHICLE. CAR THAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAVE GOOD TRADE IN VALUE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH. BEEN OFFERED 1000 MAX FOR IT AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERS. SHOCKED THAT A COMPANY SIZE OF NISSAN WOULD NOT WORK WITH THERE CUSTOMERS... AT LEAST OFFERING REASONABLE COMPENSATION FOR CURRENT VALUE OF VEHICLE. IM SURE NISSAN WILL NEVER BE CONSIDERED IN MY CAR BUYING DECISIONS AGAIN. PROBLEM HAS POTENTIAL TO BE DEADLY FOR EVERYONE IN VEHICLE AS THE CAR LOOSES POWER OR SURGES WITHOUT WARNING. I AM SURE THEY WILL BE SUED SHORTLY WHEN AN ENTIRE FAMILY LOOSES THERE LIFE BECAUSE NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. *TR

AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON THIS CAR THE HEADLIGHT COVERS TURNED WHITE, VERY LOW VISIBILITY. I AVOIDED DRIVING AT NIGHT. NISSAN WOULD NOT REPLACE. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WAS OVER $600.00 CRAZY! NOT IMPRESSED BY THIS $30,000 CAR. *TR

FOR A COUPLES OF DAYS I STARTED HEARING THE DRIVER SEAT NOISE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING OR AT REST IN A REDLIGHT. THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING MY SEAT SUDDENLY FELT TO THE LEFT SIDE. IT DID NOT WHEN ALL TO THE CAR FLOOR OR OVER THE DOOR BUT I DID NOT HAVE ANY STABILITY OF MY BODY FOR THAT SIDE. *TR

MY DRIVER SEAT BROKE RECENTLY. A SEARCH ONLINE DETERMINES THIS IS A RECURRING PROB FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN A RECALL ITEM, OR WHY ISN'T NISSAN COVERING THIS DEFECT??? THE REPAIR IS APPROX $1,200!!! ? *TR
