2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND FALLS DOWN INTO THE FIELD OF VISION OF THE DRIVER. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE EQUIPMENT IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER RECALL.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN MURANO WHICH I PURCHASED ON 5/5/2015. I FELT COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PURCHASE BASED ON THE CARFAX WHICH STATED NO ACCIDENT / DAMAGE REPORTED , NO TOTAL LOSS, NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. AFTER, GOING TO A LOCAL GAS STATION AND PURCHASING THE REQUIRED OCTANE. I PULLED OFF INTO TRAFFIC SAFELY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT BUDGE. TERRIFIED THAT I WOULD GET HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC, I JUMPED INTO ACTION AND PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE. I LET OUT HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF BECAUSE, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IN REVERSE. I CAUGHT MY BREATH AND NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON. I TOOK MY CAR TOO A LOCAL AUTOZONE AND THE CODES THAT I RECEIVED ARE ALL TRANSMISSION CODES. AFTER BEING INSTRUCTED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED BY A AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT I NEED A NEW CVT TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER CASE RESEALED. BASED ON NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THE SAFETY ISSUES. I DEEM MY CAR UNSAFE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE ANY AND ALL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED.

AS I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC (APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH), I APPLIED THE BRAKES AT THE STOPLIGHT AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS, THERE WAS NO POWER, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV UP. WITH CARS FLYING BY ME, THIS WAS TERRIFYING FOR ME AND MY GRANDDAUGHTERS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MISDIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, TWICE. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, MY MURANO BEGAN TO RANDOMLY SKIP/HESITATE WITH STANDARD RPM AND EXTREMELY HIGH RPM. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH, SAYING THEY HAD REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE "PROBLEM " IS THERE, STILL THERE. ALSO THERE IS NO GUARANTEE/WARRANTY ON WARRANTED WORK. I NOW HAVE NOTHING.AND SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT IT WILL FAIL IN TRAFFIC.

WE WERE RETURNING FROM VACATION DRIVING DOWN I-95 WHEN WE HEARD A POP AND THE DRIVERS SEAT SETTLED BACK AND TO THE LEFT. IT CAUSED ME TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT LANE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.

SEAT FRAME WELD BROKE UNDER DRIVER'S SEAT. SEAT BEGAN TO SWAY DOWN & LEFT AND THEN SWAYED BACK UP RIGHT CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSS OF DRIVING FOCUS AND FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. FEAR COMPOUNDED BECAUSE MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. AFTER DRIVING NERVOUSLY HOME, I INSPECTED SEAT TO FIND A FRAME WELD BROKEN AT A CRUCIAL WEIGHT BEARING SPOT. THE LEFT REAR CORNER OF THE SEAT WAS NOT EVEN CONNECTED TO THE FRAME! I WENT TO THE INTERNET, BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF ACTION NISSAN NEVER ANSWERED, TO GET ANY INFO ON THIS. TURNS OUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME WELDS. AND THE PRICE IS OFF THE CHARTS FOR THIS RETIRED (NISSAN QUALITY ASSURANCE INSPECTOR, SMYRNA PLANT). THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL OF THIS PROBLEM! FAILURE OF A DRIVER SEAT FRAME WELD SHOULD BE GROUNDS FOR A RECALL! INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! I AM REALLY ANGRY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR WAS JUST OK FOR 95,000 MILES. AFTER THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE WENT OUT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW MOTOR QUIT. NEITHER OF THE SUNVISORS WILL STAY UP. DEALER ASKING $135 EACH. PRIOR TO 95,000 MILES, BRAKES X2, TIRES X2 SETS, HATCH SHOCKS WORN OUT, ALL UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS WORN OUT, UNDERBODY SHOCKS WORN OUT, CENTER CV BOOT/HALF SHAFT REPLACED, OE & DEALER REPLACEMENT WIPERS ARE A JOKE AND UP TO NOW, 6 HEADLAMP BULBS REPLACED (NO, I DIDN'T TOUCH THEM). AND THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE SET FORTH BY THE MANUAL; WHEW! I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON SERVICE. I WORKED FOR NISSAN FOR 25 YEARS, BUT I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY A NISSAN PRODUCT. PLEASE REQUEST NISSAN TO RECALL THE MURANO ABOUT THE SEAT FRAME WELD.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A NOISE AND MY DRIVER SEAT WENT BACK AND TOWARD THE WINDOW. I HAD TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY CAR BECAUSE WHEN THE SEAT FRAME BROKE I SWERVED AND MY FOOT FELL OFF THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN READING ONLINE I FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. I ALSO FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE REVISIT THIS ISSUE AND DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE DRIVER/PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. IF IT WAS MY INEXPERIENCED 18 YEAR OLD DRIVING THERE WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN AN ACCIDENT.
