2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I HEARD LOUD SNAP AND THE SEAT SAGED TO THE LEFT. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS NOW CONSIDERABLEY LOWER THAT THE RIGHT SIDE AND YOU CAN WOBBLE THE SEAT QUITE A BIT, IT NO LONGER FEELS LIKE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE CAR VERY WELL. IT SEEMS THIS COULD BE A SERIUOS PROBLEM IN AN EMERGENCEY SITUATION! *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS SUDDENLY BROKEN AND COME DOWN TO BLOCK MY VIEW IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM 3 YEARS AGO. SEEMS THE ISSUE WAS NOT ACTUALLY FIXED. IT NOW FALLS DOWN REGULARLY AND SUDDENLY BLOCKS MY VIEW. I'M TOLD ITS $400 TO FIX IT AGAIN. WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED? THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THESE VISORS. *TR

THE PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS SUN VISORS SUDDENLY BEGAN FALLING DOWN AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING AND GOES OVER ANY DIP OR MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VISOR DROPS AND BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE SAME OCCURS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THIS IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT IN THE 2006 MURANOS AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE MURANO FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT FRAME BROKE AND THE SEAT IS LOOSE AND SHIFTS SIDE TO SIDE. THIS OCCURRED WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE 2006 MURANO FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO FROM A REPUTABLE CAR DEALER IN DALLAS,TEXAS ON DECEMBER 5, 2012. ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 22,2013, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED SPEED AND HEARD A LOUD METAL CRACKING SOUND. AFTER THE CRACKING SOUND, THE SEAT BECAME UNSTABLE AND KEPT SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO CAR DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE DRIVER FRONT SEAT AND INFORMED THEY WOULD ORDER A PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, THEY ANCHORED THE SEAT, BUT TWO DAYS LATER, THE SEAT CAME LOOSE AGAIN AND I INQUIRED ABOUT THE PART THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER. THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS ON ORDER BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SALESMAN CONTACTED ME AND SAID HE HAD BAD NEWS, THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART IN STOCK AND WOULD HAVE TO BACK ORDER IT. I WAITED FOR A WEEK AND THEN THE SAME SALESMAN CONTACTED ME AND SAID THE SEAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THE DEFECT OR THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND MAYBE NISSAN WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER SAID CONVERSATION, I RETURNED TO MY OFFICE AND LOOKED UP THIS DEFECT AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE SEATS COMING LOOSE IN THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO, IAND 2007 NISSAN MURANO. FURTHER, IN THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT I REVIEWED, NOT ONLY DID THE COMPLAINTS INCLUDE THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT, BUT THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL AT A COST OF OVER $1,000.00 PER SEAT. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT NISSAN IS OBLIGATED TO RECALL THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AND THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS. . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT COLLAPSED TOWARD THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED WITH A FRACTURED SEAT BRACKET.

I SAT DOWN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND HEARD A CRACKING SOUND AND FELT THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT DROP DOWN 1-2 INCHES. THE SEAT ROCKS FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING IN THE AREA OF THE PRIOR LOUD CRACKING SOUND, I FOUND THE LEFT REAR SEAT BRACKET IS BROKEN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF THIS PART FAILING IN MANY YEARS OF THE MURANO VEHICLE AND AN UPDATED STRONGER PART IS NOW AVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBELM WITH THE MURANO AND FEEL THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL AND REPAIRED FOR NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

I WAS TURNING AND NOTICE THAT MY SEAT WAS MOVING. ROCKING MOTION AND IS NOT SECURE. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF AS PARKING LOT WITH HOT COFFEE IN MY CUP HOLDER. MY MOTHER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND MY 11 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. I HEARD A CLUNK AND MY SEAT JOLTED BACKWARD MAKING CONTROLLING MY VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ALMSOT RESULTING IN HITTING A GAS STATION SIGN AND JUTTING OUT INTO A MAJOR ROADWAY. THE COFFEE SPILLED INTO MY LAP ADDING TO THE ALREADY SEVERE PROBLEM. *TR
