2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

I'VE HAD A PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED MANY TIMES BY FELLOW MURANO OWNERS. AFTER DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THEN SLOWING WAY DOWN FOR TRAFFIC OR WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY THE THROTTLE BECOMES VERY UNRESPONSIVE. IT LAGS AND THEN SURGES. THIS PROBLEM WAS APPARENT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS LAST YEAR. THIS ALSO OCCURS OCCASIONALLY IN CITY TRAFFIC, WHEN I AM SLOWING TO A STOP NEAR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. (FAIL SAFE MODE?) RECYCLING THE IGNITION FIXES THE PROBLEM, AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER, BUT THE NISSAN DEALER THAT SERVICES MY CAR HAS NOT INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE DETECTED ANY PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS ARE BEGINNING TO GIVE OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. *TR

BACK LEFT SIDE OF DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING. AT THE TIME, LUCKY FOR ME, I DID HAVE SOME RECENTLY PURCHASED ITEMS PLACED ON THE BACK FLOORBOARD AREA WHICH "LESSENED" THE AMOUNT THE SEAT COULD DROP. THE ITEMS WERE REMOVED AND I WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE UNTIL FURTHER DRIVING. EXCESSIVE ROCKING ON TURNS AND ON LOCAL ROADS (TO INCLUDE DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOT ENTRANCES, SPEED BUMPS ETC). DRIVERS SEAT STABILITY IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY NECESSITY. RECALL THIS FAULTY ITEM!!!!!!!! AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS OCCURRING TOO FREQUENTLY AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT? *TR

I HEARD A SNAP AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS NOW LEANING TO THE LEFT AGAINST THE DRIVER'S DOOR. IT ROCKS WHEN CAR MAKES A RIGHT TURN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 MURANO. I WAS DRIVING ROAD AND MY DRIVERS SEAT DROP TO THE LEFT SIDE. THIS ALMOST THREW ME IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAD TO SWIRL TO KEEP FROM HITTING A CAR. I HAD MY KID IN THE CAR WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAS THIS HAPPEN TO ME. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR NISSAN TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVE. *TR

THE SEAT BASED WELD FAILED ON THE LEFT REAR CORNER CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE MANY, MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS REPORTED ON THE WEB. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CONDITION AS IT RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I OPENED THE DOOR OF MY CAR AND SAT DOWN IN MY SEAT TO LEAVE AND HEARD A LOUD BANGING SOUND AND MY SEAT FELL BACK. I GOT OUT TO LOOK, BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AT FIRST. AS I DROVE DOWN THE RODE MY SEAT WOULD ROCK BACK AND FORTH WHEN I HIT BUMPS. IT WAS THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT. WHEN I GOT HOME, I GOT A FLASHLIGHT AND LOOKED UNDER MY SEAT, WHERE I NOTICED THE METAL FRAME WAS BROKEN IN HALF. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE WHERE I FOUND THAT IT IS VERY COMMON IN NISSAN MURANO'S 2003-2007. MY CAR HAS 91,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
