2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME WOBBLY AND UNSTABLE WITHOUT WARNING MAKING DRIVING QUITE DIFFICULT; DEALERSHIP STAFF INDICATED SEAT TRACK NEEDED COSTLY REPAIR. DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT STAY PUT; COST TO REPLACE WOULD BE NEARLY $200. I THOUGHT THESE ITEMS LASTED FOR THE DURATION OF THE VEHICLE.

I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL DROPPING MY SON OFF FOR SCHOOL ONE MORNING IN SEPTEMBER. AS I PULLED OFF FROM THE CORNER AND THEN TRIED TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN, MY CAR JUST STOPPED, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I HAD TO PULL AS HARD AS I COULD TO FINISH THE TURN AND NOT GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS TERRIFIED BUT GLAD THAT MY SON WASN'T IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. FOR THE PAST FIVE MONTHS, MY NISSAN MURANO JUST STOPS OR STALLS AT RANDOM. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST, WHETHER I'M TURNING OR NOT, IT JUST TURNS OFF. I HAVE TO QUICKLY TURN THE KEY TO "OFF" AND THEN TRY TO QUICKLY RESTART THE CAR. I'VE HAD TO STRUGGLE TO PULL THE WHEEL TO PULL THE CAR TO THE CURB JUST TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND IT'S HAPPENED WITH MY HUSBAND AS WELL, AND HE'S DRIVEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY (WHICH WE WILL NO LONGER TRY WITH THAT CAR). NO HELP FROM NISSAN OR NISSAN DEALERSHIPS - JUST GIVEN THE RUN AROUND ABOUT VERY UNSAFE CAR.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR FROM A PARKED POSITIONED AFTER RUNNING A FEW ERRANDS DURING A SLIGHT ICE/SNOW FALL MID-MORNING AND WIPERS DID NOT MOVE WHEN ACTIVATED. I TURNED THE WIPERS ON HIGH AND LISTENED FOR THE MOTOR WHICH WAS RUNNING BUT IT SEEMED WIPER WERE DETACHED. I SPENT 2 DAYS DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK AT NIGHT WITH RAIN AND SNOW FALL EACH WAY. I WAS DANGEROUS BUT I COULD NOT CALL IN. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE AND APPARENTLY IT IS VERY COMMON FOR MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF NISSANS TO HAVE THIS LINKAGE BRAKE.

FOLLOWING VEHICLE BEING IN FOR COOLANT SYSTEM REPAIR, I ENTERED VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE AND FOUND THE SEAT MOVED FORWARD TO THE EXTREME, I MOVED IT BACK AND SAT DOWN, RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED THE SEAT DID NOT FEEL STABLE, WAS UNSURE IF THIS WAS RELATED TO THE RECENT WORK, BEGAN DRIVING VEHICLE, WENT A SHORT DISTANCE, DRIVER SEAT WAS LISTING TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE, AND WAS UNSTABLE. I RETURNED IMMEDIATELY TO REPAIR SHOP, OF COURSE LATE IN DAY AND CLOSING TIME. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD LOOK AT NEXT DAY, LOW AND BEHOLD, THE BAD NEWS BEGINS ARRIVING ABOUT MIDMORNING- THE SEAT TRACK IS BROKEN AND WILL COST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPAIR. DURING MY DRIVE BACK TO REPAIR SHOP NEXT DAY, THE SEAT FEELS VERY UNSTABLE AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANY LENGTH OF TIME; CREATES A SIGNIFICANT FEELING THAT CONTROL OF VEHICLE IS NOT SECURE, DUE TO SEAT INSTABILITY. AREN'T SEAT SUPPOSE TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, WHAT IS ALL THAT MONEY PAYING FOR?

I'VE ONLY BEEN DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO CAR THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED USED FOR 3 WEEKS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED JERKING, SHAKING, SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD THEN IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD. THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I CALLED THE POLICE, THEY BLOCKED THE LANE I WAS IN AND CALLED A LOCAL TOW TRUCK SERVICE THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT WAS AN EMERGENCY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND THE POLICE COULD NOT CHANCE TO WAIT FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEND A TOW SERVICE.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. HAVE TO REPLACE FLUID EVERY WEEK. IF FLUID RUNS OUT WHILE DRIVING, WILL LOOSE CONTROL OF AUTO AND CRASH. TOOK AUTO TO CLAY NISSAN OF NEWTON AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE LEAK, YET EACH WEEK I HAVE TO TOP UP THE STEERING FLUID. THIS STARTED ON 06/01/2015 AND I TOP UP EACH WEEK.
