I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. THERE IS A METAL BAR UNDER THE SEAT THAT BREAKS. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE AND IT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE THAT THIS IS NOT PART OF A RECALL YET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AROUND WITH. I WORKED WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY CHARGE CLOSE TO $1000 TO REPAIR. I HAVE GONE DIRECTLY TO NISSAN TO SEE IF THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THEY WOULD HELP COVER THE COSTS ON SINCE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, AND ONE THAT HAS NOW BEEN CORRECTED ON NEWER MODELS, BUT THEY WILL NOT ASSIST AT ALL WITH THE MAIN REASON BEING THAT I'M OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE OF MY VEHICLE. IT CURRENTLY ONLY HAS ABOUT 65,000 MILES ON IT. I AM NOT AN OVERWEIGHT PERSON SO THAT IS NOT A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT IF I WERE IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH MY BROKEN SEAT THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MAYBE AT THAT POINT NISSAN WOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT UNTIL THAT TIME THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE LEFT TO PAY $1000 IN REPAIRS FOR A FAULTY PART ON THEIR VEHICLE THAT THEY'RE CLEARLY AWARE OF. I'M HOPING YOU CAN HELP RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WHEN LOWERED TO BLOCK SUN, DRIVER SIDE VISOR HANGS IN DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT AND WILL NOT STAY UP WHEN LOWERED. AS SUCH, WHEN TRYING TO BLOCK THE SUN, THE DRIVER HAS TO LOOK AROUND OR BELOW THE VISOR TO SEE OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW. THE VISOR WILL STAY UP AGAINST THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN LOWERED TO BLOCK SUN IT WILL HANG IN LINE OF SIGHT. PASSENGER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT GO UP AT ALL AND HANGS IN PASSENGER'S LINE OF SIGHT AND PARTIALLY BLOCKS DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE FIX WOULD NOT BE COVERED FOR REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V319000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,433 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 119,633. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE WHILE ADJUSTING THE SEAT CAUSING THE SEAT TO PERMANENTLY LEAN TO THE LEFT NOTICEABLY. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THE DEALER QUOTED A $1000 REPAIR COST WHICH I FELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL. SINCE THEN I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM FOR THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH 2003 TO 2006 MODELS. NISSAN JUST NEVER OWNED UP TO IT BEING A DEFECT. THE SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY AND IT IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE WHEN DRIVING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD ON IT'S OWN, I ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR INTO A TRUCK AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I TOLD THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED. I DON'T HAVE 800 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MY SEAT IS NOW STUCK IN A FORWARD POSITION AND I AM WAITING UNTIL IT MOVES BACK. HOPE IT WILL NOT HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING. *TR
