2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

CURRENTLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING HOSE. MASSIVE LEAK AND USING A BOTTLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID EVERY COUPLE DAYS. I HAVE READ AND REVIEWED A MINIMUM OF 100 COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL MY POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WELL ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH DURING A RAIN STORM. I WAS VERY CLOSE TO GOING IN THE DITCH. THIS IS NOT A $50 FIX BUT A $450 FIX AND A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCURING. I WOULD BE FINE IF IT WAS A CLAMP THAT CAME LOSE OR A BEARING WAS LEAKING BUT FOR 100'S OF HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINES TO BE FAULTY IS A FACTORY MALFUNCTION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THANK YOU *TT

BOUGHT CAR USED IN MAY 2013. AUGUST 14 GOT INTO CAR IN MORNING FOR WORK AND SEAT FELT WOBBLY. WHEN I LEFT WORK AND GOT INTO CAR SEAT LEANED BACK AND TOWARDS DRIVERS DOOR. IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO MECHANICS SHOP AND WAS THEN TOLD THE SEAT SUPPORT HAD BROKEN AGAIN. HAD BEEN WELDED ONCE BEFORE AND WELD BROKE. WHEN LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT SEAT READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT NISSAN HAD MADE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT WAS A SOLID PIECE OF METAL THAT CORRECTED THE "Y" SHAPED BRACKET THAT HAS BROKEN REPEATEDLY ON MANY CARS USUALLY @ 75,000 MILES. NISSAN DID NOT GIVE THIS PIECE TO THE MURANOS OWNERS, INSTEAD SOLD IT TO THEM. FURIOUS AND DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN FOR NOT HAVING A RECALL. PEOPLE COULD DIE IF THEY WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I WAS ROUNDING A CURVE IN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND MY SEAT TRACK BROKE! I KNOW THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE VIA INTERNET RESEARCH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, MY SEAT WOULD FAIL COMPLETELY AND I'D BE BADLY INJURED OR AT WORST HURLED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD!! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!! FURTHERMORE, I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS!! ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT FOR A GRAPHIC DEATH BEFORE YOU FIX THIS ISSUE. IF YOU GOOGLE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, I'M SURE YOU'LL SEE IT CONSTITUTES A RECALL! *TR

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE, FUEL FLOAT OR FUEL MONITORING SYSTEM. I FILLED UP THE CAR AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY. IT WILL ERRATICALLY SHOW DIFFERENT FUEL LEVELS RANGING ANYWHERE FROM EMPTY TO HALF-FULL TO FULL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT. AFTER DOING A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THEIR ARE MULTIPLE ENTRIES FOR THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS. *TR

I TRIED TO PARK MY CAR IN A PARKING. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK; IT WOULD GO NO FURTHER THAN NEUTRAL GEAR. AS A RESULT, BECAUSE I COULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE I HAD TO DRIVE OVER A MEDIAN TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT. I SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE ENDEMIC WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHY HAVE YOU NOT ORDERED NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL? *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE LEFT WELD BRACKET BROKE ON MY SEAT. NO ROT OR RUST. A SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECT. THE SEAT MOVES ALL AROUND AND IS NOT SECURED TO THE VEHICLES FRAME ANY LONGER. IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD NOT KEEP DRIVER SAFE. HOW ON EARTH IS THIS NOT A RECALLED ISSUE ??!!!! I SUPPOSE YOUR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. *TR

NISSAN- MURANO'S 2003-2010. WHILE TRAVELING AT APX. 20 MPH ON STRAIGHT ROAD WITH A PASSENGER, WE HEAR LOUD POP, 2006 MURANO. THEREAFTER, THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE REAR AND OFF BALANCE "ROCK LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR FROM SIDE TO SIDE, LEANING BACK ON ONE SIDE FEELING LIKE SEAT COULD JUST COME OFF COMPLETELY AND OUT OF LINE IN ITS ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION". AFTER INVESTIGATING FURTHER, A "DEFECTIVE METAL BRACING APPARATUS" THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE SEAT AND HAS FAILED ON MANY OR MOST OF THIS CLASS. CORPORATE NISSAN TELLS CLIENTS "SORRY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY", OR, NOT A COVERED ITEM ON LIMITED WARRANTIES. NISSAN IS AWARE THIS IS AN ENORMOUS PROBLEM, THE MAGNITUDE OF CARS BROUGHT IN, THE SAFETY ISSUES, BUT CONTINUED TO MANUFACTURE, PRODUCE, ADVERTISE, SELL CLAIM "REPAIR" SUCH VEHICLES. WHY NOT,"A GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY IS MADE FOR EVERY CLIENT COMING IN AT THEIR MERCY FOR THIS DEFECT". THIS PART FAILS ON NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE IS OPERATING THIS VEHICLE AT A HIGHER SPEED. THE CAR IS NOT MECHANICALLY SAFE, AND NISSAN IS RUNNING A BUSINESS ON EXCESSIVE CHARGES ON CUSTOMERS IN THE THOUSANDS TO HAVE " REPAIRED". IN ADDITION, THE REPAIRS ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND THE SAME DEFECTIVE MECHANISMS THAT FAILED ORIGINALLY ARE USED OVER AGAIN FOR REPAIRS. MANUFACTURING, SALES AND REPAIRS CONTINUE THEREAFTER FOR 7 YEARS OF MONEY MADE AT THE MERCY OF CUSTOMERS. A RECALL SHOULD BE INSTITUTED AND RESTITUTION TO ALL NISSAN OWNERS THAT HAVE OR WILL BE AFFECTED DUE TO GROSS NEGLIGENT LIABILITY ON PART OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THE (LEFT REAR SUPPORT) MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE ON DRIVERS SEAT, AND UNSUITABLE TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT OR WITHSTAND NORMAL FORCE. ITS MADE LIKE "TIN - FOIL" TO SUPPORT A DRIVER. AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION, RECALL AND CLASS ACTION SHOULD BE INSTITUTED ON ALL VEHICLES OF THIS CLASS! *TR

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A 2 YEARS NOW. I DECIDED I WAS TIRED OF GETTING UPSET AND SLAMMING THE VISOR ON THE TOP OF THE ROOF WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND IT FALLS. I AM TIRED OF DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VISOR DROPS AND BLOCKS MY VISION. I ALMOST WAS IN A WRECK YESTERDAY BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID VISOR. I RESEARCHED IT AND REALIZED THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NISSAN VISOR AND THIS EXACT ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED WITH THIS STUPID THING. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY LEANED TO THE LEFT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM IT WAS LEARNED THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LINK ASSEMBLY (SEAT FRAME) HAD FRACTURED AT THE END OF A POORLY DESIGNED BRACKET. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN (SEE "MURANO SEAT" ON THE INTERNET) IN RECOGNIZING THAT A PRODUCT RECALL SHOULD ISSUED. HOWEVER, WHAT IS EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING IS THAT NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE LINK ASSEMBLY DESIGN, BUT WILL NOT SELL THAT COMPONENT SEPARATELY. THEY ARE EXPECTING THE CONSUMER TO PAY IN EXCESS OF $1,000.00 TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY WITH THE SEAT MOTORS INCLUDED! IF THE NHTSA DOES NOT SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE - THAN WHAT IS? *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT COLLAPSED TO THE LEFT . AFTER INSPECTION ,DISCOVERED THE SEAT WELD BROKE . I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IN TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR INSPECTION . I TOLD THE NISSAN AGENT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH MURANO'S FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE NISSAN FORUMS. I WILL POST AS TO RESOLUTION AFTER DEALER INSPECTS FAILED SEAT WELD. *TR
