2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

BOUGHT THE CAR, USED IN 2009. FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS CHARGERS IN CAR DID NOT WORK. WITHIN LAST SIX MONTHS FUEL GAUGE BECAME INACCURATE. THERE WAS ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE THE CAR JUST STOPPED, WILL LOOK FOR DETAILS. BUT 9/24/13 DRIVING UP A HILL, CAR CAME OUT OF GEAR AND STOPPED WORKING. THE PART THAT WAS ULTIMATELY REPLACED WAS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL-PART NUMBER 24820-CC20A. APPARENTLY, PANEL WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH TRANSMISSION PROPERLY. DEALER CHARGED US $1150 TO REPLACE. NEITHER SERVICE MANAGER OR SERVICE COORDINATOR HAS SEEN ONE WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY. YES, INTERNET FULL OF COMMENTS ABOUT ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND INSTRUMENT PANEL. THESE FAILURES APPEAR TO BE THE RESULT OF FAULTY SOLDERING OR WELDING OF CONNECTIONS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME FAILURE. CHAIR BECAME VERY WOBBLY AND MY WIFE ALMOST CRASHED THE VEHICLE. SHE HAD TO STOP THE CAR, LOWER THE SEAT TO THE VERY LOWEST TO FLATTEN OUT THE WOBBLE, THEN SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. DRIVING THIS WAS COMPROMISES HER ABILITY TO SIT UP HIGHER AND SEE MORE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. REPLACEMENT FOR THE SEAT 1200-1800, JUST THE FRAME ALONE IS 800. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON MY MURANO CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND I CAN'T BELIEVE NISSAN WON'T STEP UP TO FIX THE ISSUE. WHAT'S WORSE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU $400 PER VISOR TO FIX THE ISSUE. WHY WON'T THE NHTSA STEP IN TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED? *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT COMES OFF THE TRACK THAT IT IS INSTALLED ON- THIS CREATES QUITE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR A DRIVER AS WHEN THEY GO AROUND A CORNER THEIR SEAT ACTUALLY MOVES. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY NISSAN HAS NOT DONE A RECALL AND HAD THE SITUATION REPLACED OR REPAIRED. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TRACK THE SEAT IS ON CRACKS OR WHAT OCCURS, BUT THE SEAT COMES OFF THE TRACK AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET BACK ON- I HAVE HAD REPAIR ESTIMATES OVER $700 TO FIX THIS. IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVERS AND CAN IMPACT THEIR DRIVING ABILITY AND POSSIBLY CREATE AN ACCIDENT. *JS

COMPLAINED TO NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. COMPLAINED AT A LATER DATE AND WAS TOLD COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE BUT NO RECALL AND IF I WANTED TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE GAS SYSTEM I COULD WHICH WOULD COST APPROX. $1000.00. WHEN I GET GAS I HAVE TO GET IT WHEN I AM GOING HOME SO I CAN SHOWER DUE TO GAS SPRAYING ON ME WHILE PUMPING GAS. ALMOST EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS IT STOPS LIKE IT IS FULL AND GAS SPEWS BACK. CONSTANTLY HAVE TO MOVE GAS HOSE AROUND AND THE GAS NOZZLE TO TRY TO GET GAS. I HAVE TO HAVE AN EXTRA SET OF CLOTHES IN MY CAR BECAUSE THE GAS SMELL MAKES ME SICK. ONE TIME I WAS SICK ALL DAY VOMITING BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND A LOUD NOISE HAPPENED. DRIVER SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT AND AS YOU MAKE TURNS IT MOVES BACK AND FOURTH. VERY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WEARING MY SEAT BELT NOW. IF I WAS TO GET INTO A ACCIDENT THE WHOLE SEAT WOULD GO FLYING WITH ME.

WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, I HEARD A CRACK UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AFTERWARDS THE SEAT NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND LIFTS UP WHEN MAKING TURNS. I HAVE SEARCHED ALL OVER THE WEB AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH NISSAN DRIVERS SIDE SEATS ON SOME OF THEIR VEHICLES TO THE POINT THAT THEY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FACT THAT NISSAN IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I DRIVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND IT ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES ON IT. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WITH THE SEAT BRACKET LIFTER LINK ASSEMBLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT WAS NOT SECURED TO THE FRAME AND REMAINED IN A TILTED POSITION DUE TO THE FRACTURED SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM MY SONS SCHOOL IN AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CRACKING SOUND AND THE CAR WAS JERKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 10 MILES AN HOUR IN A 45 ZONE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE INTO SAFE HAVEN. IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR NISSAN AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF SOMEONE WHO IS LESS EXPERIENCED OR IN AN EVEN MORE UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO THEM! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THE SEAT BELT ALSO BECAME ABNORMALLY TIGHT AROUND HER CHILD. AS A RESULT, THE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE CHILD AND AVOID SUFFOCATION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHILD HAD BRUISES ON HIS STOMACH BUT WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
