2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE SUN VISOR FLIPS IN FRONT OF YOU TO BLOCK YOUR VISION AND THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO INVOLVE IN ACCIDENT? NISSAN SHOULD RECALL IT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. *TR

THE CAR LURCHES AND PAUSES WHEN I AM GOING AT VERY LOW SPEED AND TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. THE CAR DOES NOT CRUISE AT LOW SPEEDS AND FEELS AS THOUGH I AM HITTING THE BRAKES. *TR

THE METAL FRAME UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE ON THE LEFT SIDE CAUSING THE SEAT TO MOVE, ROCK AND BOUNCE. THIS CAUSE DISTRACTIONS AND CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE SUNVISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AND CAUSE GREAT DISTRACTION AND LOW VISIBILITY. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A POPPING SENSATION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WHILE DRIVING. THEN OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE DRIVER'S SEAT STARTED A ROCKING MOTION. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WHILE DRIVING, THE SEAT JUST DROPPED ON THE LEFT SIDE. WHEN I GOT HOME MY HUSBAND TOOK A LOOK AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OFF. IT CONTINUED TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO NISSAN WHO LOOKED AT IT, TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE "ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY, FRONT" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST $ 1350. I CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AND THERE WAS NO RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE? I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SEAT DROPPED. I WAS STARTLED. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH TO DEEM THE PROBLEM SEVERE ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECALL. I WOULD THINK NISSAN WOULD JUST FIX IT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS SO WIDE SPREAD. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, 10 MILES, IN 2006. AND IT HAS BEEN ONE THING OR ANOTHER. THIS CAR HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. SERVICED IT AS THE MANUAL SPECIFIED. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN TAKEN ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. MY DAILY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK IS APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AND GARAGED. FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS I WORKED FROM HOME SO THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN MUCH. WE KNOW WE WILL NOT BUY A NISSAN OR INFINITI AGAIN. NOR DO WE RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WE COME IN CONTACT WITH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET FRACTURED. THE SEAT SHIFTED AND MOVED OUT OF PLACE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO SWERVE INTO OTHER LANES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,980. DR

UPON SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE FRAME SNAPPED ON LEFT SIDE AND NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. I LOVED THIS CAR UNTIL NOW. IT'S A CRYING SHAME THAT A VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE COULD HAVE BROKEN. I AM NOT A HEAVY PERSON NOR DO I ABUSE THE VEHICLE. I DRIVE ONE MILE TO WORK ON A BLACKTOP ROAD! AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THIS SAME ISSUE, I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND MAKE IT RIGHT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES EVERY TIME I STOP OR ACCELERATE. NISSAN SAYS IT WILL COST 1300-1500 TO REPAIR. LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THE SEAT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO ACTUALLY BREAK, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO END UP IN THE BACKSEAT. MINE HASN'T DONE THAT YET. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY NISSAN, NOT ME AS THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL REPAIR THAT ONE CAN EXPECT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK AND THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED! *TR

DURING MY DRIVE WHILE EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE JUMPED/SPED UP ON ITS OWN AS IF I ACCELERATED. FELT LIKE A TRANSMISSION SLIP. WHILE APPROACHING MY EXIT, CAR JUST DIED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF AND PUT ON MY EMERGENCY HAZARD FLASHERS. I TRIED TO START THE CAR, AND IT JUST CRANKED. I WAITED APPROX. TEN MINUTES AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE SLOWLY UNTIL THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. EXPERIENCED SOME HESITATION ALONG THE DRIVE HOME AND WITH NO WARNING, JUST A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING, THE CAR DIED AGAIN. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO FAILED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND QUOTED FOR REPLACE THE TWO FAILING FUEL SENDING UNITS $100 TO INSPECT + $700/$800 PART & LABOR. OF COURSE IS NOT COVERED BY NISSAN. HOW MANY OTHER BRANDS BESIDE NISSAN HAVE YOU SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM? I AM SIMPLY APPALLED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM NISSAN. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS, DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSING, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON DUE TO FUEL GAUGE FAILURE, WIPER MOTOR/TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. MY NISSAN MURANO HAS ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND MORE. I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS. THE FACT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND UP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS IS AN INSULT TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT. NISSAN OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE DESPITE THE CLEAR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE COMPONENTS. WE LOVE TEH CAR BUT IT SHOULD HOLE TOGETHER BETTER THAN THIS. THERES ARE NOT ITEMS CAUSED BY HIGH MILLAGE JUT PLAIN POOR DESIGNS. SEATS BREAKING - NO WAY, VISORS FALLING DOWN - NO WAY, FUEL GAUGE FAILURE - NO WAY, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT - NO WAY, WIPER MOTOR/TRANSMISSION - NO WAY - PLEASE HELP US!!!! *TR
