TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON, EXHAUST FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

SAT IN CAR TO TAKE DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE. THE REAR BRACKET CAME LOOSE AND NOW MY SEAT WOBBLES/BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE. OVER BUMPS IT'S WORSE. TURNING A CORNER SENDS ME UP AGAINST THE DOOR. I FIND MYSELF GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR BALANCE AND THAT CAUSES MY CAR TO SWERVE. HUBBY THOUGHT I WAS EXAGGERATING UNTIL HE SAT IN SEAT. LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. CALLED NISSAN AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND I SHOULD CALL NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER PARTS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!!! IF NISSAN IS AWARE THERE'S THIS BIG OF A PROBLEM WHY NO RECALL? BECAUSE NO ONE HAS DIED?? SEEMS THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT. RIGHT NOW I'M USING THE "FIX" THE GUY BEFORE ME USED....PIECE OF WOOD UNDER THE SEAT TO KEEP IT STABLE ENOUGH TO DRIVE. QUOTED $1700 PARTS AND LABOR. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BROKE CAUSING MAJOR VISIBILITY ISSUE. WOULD HANG DOWN AND BLOCK DRIVER'S VIEW. BROKE JUST AFTER WARRANTY ENDED. THERE WAS NO WAY TO KEEP IT UP WITHOUT $250 REPLACEMENT VISOR. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID HE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE CONSUMERS. STATED HE FELT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,629.

WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION I HEARD A POP, THE DRIVERS SEAT AND MYSELF, LURCHED BACK AND TO THE LEFT INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I WAS VERY STARTLED BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE SEAT BROKE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST SLIDE OFF THE SEAT. I CALLED NISSAN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1500.00. I DECIDED TO GO HOME AND CHECK IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALL ON THIS PART AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE LETTER AFTER LETTER FROM NISSAN MURANO OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS I FEEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL FROM THE DEALER.SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET REALLY HURT IF THEY ARE RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND THE SEAT BREAKS. I HOPE BY WRITING TO YOU THIS CAN BE AVOIDED. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN OIL LEAKING FROM MY OIL TANK FOR OVER A YEAR. I WENT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE O-RING OR SEAL ON THE OIL TANK AND THAT THEY TEND TO GO ON THIS MODEL CAR. IT IS A $400 FIX. IF THIS IS COMMON IN THE MURANOS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST. *TR

REAR HATCH STOPPED WORKING. SINCE IT CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (WITH THE PANEL REMOVED) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO HANDLE ON THIS YEAR MODEL THAT WILL WORK WITHOUT ELECTRICAL ASSISTANCE. WHEN THE OPEN BUTTON IS PUSHED (EITHER FROM INSIDE THE CAR OR ON THE KEY FOB) THERE IS NO SOUND INDICATING THAT THE REAR HATCH IS BEING CONTACTED AT ALL. WE HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE FUSE AND A CONTROL MODULE BUT NEITHER OF THOSE HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE A MANUAL LATCH ON THE REAR HATCH SO THAT IT CAN BE OPENED WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN PLACE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT WILL FLOP DOWN AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. *TR
