2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

DRIVER'S DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN ACTUATED FROM THE DOOR POWER LOCK OR THE REMOTE POWER LOCK. THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE IT MEANS DOOR LOCKS CAN NOT BE RELIED TO POWER LOCK OR UNLOCK IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. *TR

WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS OR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. IT APPEARS THAT THE VISOR IS NOT TIGHTLY HELD BY THE BRACKET THAT IT SITS ON. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THERE IS COMPLETE LOSS OF VISION THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS (OR ANY SPEED FOR THAT MATTER), THIS LOSS OF VISION MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE VISOR IS NOT RAISED UP QUICKLY ENOUGH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS WITH MODEL YEARS 2005, 2006 AND 2007. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE ARE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR LOSS OF LIFE AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW SUN VISOR. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES. *JS

DRIVER SEAT FRAME,THE LEFT SIDE REAR BRACKET BROKE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO DROP DOWN AND BECOME UNSTABLE. *JS

THE VEHICLE FAILS TO TURN AND MUST BE REFILLED WITH POWER STEERING FLUID DAILY. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT FRAME,THE LEFT SIDE BRACKET BROKE LOOSE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO DROP DOWN AND BECOME UNSTABLE. *TR

AT A SPEED OF 40 MPH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE A TERRIBLE TICKING NOISE AND VIBRATED THROUGH THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RULED OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF C.V. JOINTS AS I RAN THE VEHICLE WHILE BEING SAFELY SUPPORTED ON A LIFT. THE NOISE IS ECHOING OUT OF THE CVT HOUSING, ALL FLUID LEVELS ARE UP. *TR

DRIVER SEAT BROKE FROM BEHIND. IF I SEAT DOWN THE SEAT WOBBLES UP AND DOWN. STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE ANCHOR/BRACKET ON THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. SAME AS ALL THE ONES IN THE INTERNET BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL. NISSAN IS WAITING UNTIL A COUPLE OF PEOPLE DIE TO TAKE ACTION. I REPAIRED MINE BUT ITS THE SAME KIND SO I THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I WILL BE TAKING THE OLD FRAME TO GET WORKED ON BY A WELDER TO INVENT SOMETHING BETTER BECAUSE THEIR IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR A STRONGER BRACKET BUT NISSAN IS ONLY CUTTING COST WITH THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. IF YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER END OF THE BRACKET THAT ALWAYS BRAKES IT IS STRONGER. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST NISSAN I HAVE OWNED 4 NISSANS AND WILL STILL KEEP BUYING THEM BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS.....COME ON GUYS DON'T CUT CORNERS. *TR

ALL DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION WITH THE FOB OR THE INTERNAL DOOR LOCK BUTTON. MUST MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK ALL DOORS. CONDITION WORSENS IN WARM WEATHER.THIS IS A SERIOS SAFETY HAZARD - I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. NISSAN WON'T EVEN ESCALATE MY CONCERN UNTIL I PAY TO HAVE ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT IT, BUT I KNOW FROM READING OTHER POSTS THAT ONCE I DO THEY WILL STILL REFUSE TO FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR CONSTANTLY FLIPPED DOWNWARD. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

WHILE TRAVELING AROUND AN OFF-RAMP, THE DRIVER SEAT MADE A LOUD POP SOUND. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE BRACKET HOLDING THE SEAT TO THE CAR HAS BROKEN LOOSE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT TRAVELING FAST AND I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR
