2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE BLINKING AFTER A PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS MOVING AROUND IN THE SEAT. I HAD IT CHECKED AT A BODY SHOP AND A CODE CAME UP (B 1049). DETECTS A AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS SENSOR AND (OR) AIR BAG MODULE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. I DON'T REMEMBER IF THE CAR WAS IN MOTION OR NOT.

BEGINNING ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I NOTICED SOME UNUSUAL NOISE AND MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WORSENED QUICKLY, MAKING A CRUNCHING METAL NOISE AND BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE DURING DRIVING WITH THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT MOVING UP AND DOWN. IT NOW MOVES WITH ONLY SLIGHT MANUAL PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT. UPON INVESTIGATING THE STRUCTURE UNDER THE SEAT, I FOUND A SUPPORT BRACKET WELD HAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED. THE DRASTIC MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT SEEMS DANGEROUS, SLIGHTLY CHANGING THE DRIVERS POSITION BEHIND THE WHEEL, POSSIBLY ALTERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE POSITION BEHIND THE AIRBAG, AND CERTAINLY AFFECTING RESTRAINT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS MANY, MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS BRACKET WELD, BUT NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS POOR QUALITY PART FAILED, COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH, BUT WILL REQUIRE ME TO PAY $1100 TO FIX.

2007 NISSAN MURANO 1) VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE IN A SIDEWAYS MOTION,ON MAIN CITY STREET: TURNED OUT THAT MAJORITY OF FRAME RUSTED OUT. 2) DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS GO DOWN WHILE VEHICLE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF.

AIR INTAKE DUCTING SEPARATES FROM RESONATOR CAUSING ENGINE TO STALL. I FOUND A RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN, NTB09-038, JULY 16, 2009. THIS RECALL WAS DENIED BY CLAY COOLEY NISSAN IN AUSTIN, TX ON NOV., 27, 2017.

WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT BECAME FREE FLOATING AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

REAR CROSSMEMBER SUB-FRAME CRADLE ALL RUSTY THROUGH AND FAIL COMPLETELY. IT IS BROKEN IN PIECES. BOTH REAR TIRES ARE COMPLETLY OFF ALLIGNMENT .

FIRST IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORS AND THEN THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORS - FRONT AND REAR - THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER GETTING INTO THE CAR. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER AND THEY ASSUMED IT WAS THE SUNROOF - CLEARED THE LINE. ISSUE STILL WENT ON. I DID NOT KNOW AT FIRST BECAUSE THE WATER GOT TRAPPED UNDER THE RUGS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY CLEARED THE SUNROOF LINES. I HAD IT DETAILED AND THEN PUT MY RUGS BACK DOWN. THIS TIME I BELIEVE THERE WAS RESULTING MOLD IN MY CAR AND IS CAUSING SEVERE ALLERGY ISSUES FOR MYSELF AND MY SON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE MAKING RIGHT AND/OR LEFT TURNS. BROWN'S DULLES NISSAN IN STERLING, VIRGINIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,000.

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO SUDDENLY BEGIN ACTING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT OF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ABOUT 3/4 DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WOULD BE A FEW SECOND LAG BEFORE THE RPM WOULD RISE AND THEN SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD. I COULDN'T GET MY SPEED ABOVE 30 MPH WITHOUT THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE GEARS ON IT OWN. THEN ONE DAY AS I'M GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE I CAME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I SLOWLY ACCELERATED AND SUDDENLY MY CAR JERKED ABRUPTLY AND CAME TO A HALT. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE MOST EMBARRASSING PART IS THAT I WAS 1/4 OF THE WAY IN THE INTERSECTION AND I WAS HOLDING UP THE TRAFFIC ALL THREE WAYS. A GOOD POLICE OFFICER STOPPED BEHIND ME AND CALLED A TOWING COMPANY. I HAD TO PAY OVER $100 TO GET MY CAR TOWED. ON TOP OF THAT I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE TRANSMISSION PLACE TO HAVE IT CHECKED SINCE THE CAR WOULD START AND REV, BUT NOT MOVE FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID THE CVT BELT PREMATURELY BROKE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG VEHICLES WITH CVT TRANSMISSION, ESPECIALLY THE NISSAN MURANO'S. MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE I'M SURPRISED NISSAN HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL. THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
