2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

CAR LOSES ITS ELECTRIC POWER...SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK DO NOT WORK. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS SHIFT. *TR

KEPT NOTICING SMELL OF BURNING OIL. WAS TOLD THE AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING. AFTER THE 2ND AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED, THEY SAID IT WAS A TRANSFER CASE SEAL THAT WAS LEAKING AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THAT REPLACED AT APPROXIMATE COST OF $1500. AT THAT TIME I TOLD THE DEALER THAT DURING COLD WEATHER I HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION (WHICH HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 120,000), AND I'M SURE THE TRANSMISSION HAS CAUSED THE TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS, BUT, OF COURSE, UPON THE DEALER TESTING THE TRANSMISSION THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING FINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE LEAK WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAD TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT AS LONG AS THE FLUID LEVELS WERE CHECKED FREQUENTLY I COULD WAIT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. YESTERDAY (4 MONTHS LATER) I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AXLE SEAL AND THE TRANSFER CASE SEAL WERE BOTH LEAKING AND THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED DETAILING THAT THE TRANSFER CASE SHOULD BE REBUILT. THE COST NOW WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $1800, TO FIX THE SEALS AND REBUILD THE TRANSFER CASE. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE I'VE REALIZED THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MURANO'S AND THAT NISSAN IS IGNORING THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE MURANO'S AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT, CLEAR ROAD, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE UNDER HOOD, THE CAR LOST POWER AND THERE WEAS SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A GAS STATION. CAR WAS TOWED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRANSFER CASE WAS CRACKED. *TR

GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND THE SEAT FRAME BROKE (DRIVER'S SEAT - LEFT REAR). THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH EVERY 2003-2007 SOMETIME. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A $1,200 REPAIR FROM THE DEALER. I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED YET. HELP!! *TR

DRIVING THE CAR WHEN HEARING BIG BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE HOOD FROM THE CAR SOUNDLY THE CAR BROKE DOWN TOWING IT IN TO THE DEALER SAYING THAT IT'S THE TRANSFER CASE THAT WENT WITH OUT ANY WARNING READING UP ON LINE SEEING THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WILL AL NISSAN THEY SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE HEARD POP AND DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE DIPPING TO THE LEFT AT REAR OF SEAT. I'VE INVESTIGATED THIS MATTER AND SEAT WILL COST OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THIS IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL. FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS IT LOOKS TO ME AS THOUGH THE METAL USED TO MAKE THE SEAT BRACKET IS NOT STURDY, OR DEFECTIVE METAL IS BEING USED. *TR

WHILE ADJUSTING THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER SEAT, SOMETHING IN THE POWER SEAT MECHANISM APPEARS TO HAVE BROKE AND THE SEAT IN NOW UNEVEN, AND FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING OFF THE RAILS ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING INTO A CURVE, WHERE YOU MUST HANG ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL FOR BALANCE WHICH CAUSES UNDUE ANXIETY FOR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL. THE SEAT FEELS LIKE IT IS OFF THE RAILS, AND WHEN I USE THE POWER SEAT ADJUSTER, IT ONLY LIFTS ONE SIDE OF THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENED OVER 2 YEARS AGO AT ABOUT 45,0000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 70,000 MILES. I HAVE LEARNED IF YOU KEEP THE SEAT ADJUSTED SO THAT ITS CLOSEST TO THE FLOOR, THEN THERE IS LESS OF A FEELING THAT THE SEAT IS COMING OFF, THAN IF THE SEAT IS ADJUSTED TO A HIGHER POSITION. I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO GET THIS REPAIRED SOLELY DUE TO THE $1,100 EXPENSE WHICH IT APPEARS TO COST TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IT'S AN ANNOYING ISSUE, IT REMINDS ME OF THE FORD I HAD AS A TEENAGER THAT I HAD TO USE ROPE TO KEEP THE DRIVER DOOR SHUT. *TR
