2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

DRIVER POWER SEAT UNABLE TO MOVE. GETS STUCK AT ONE LOCATION SO CAN NOT MOVE TO ADJUST FOR PROPER DRIVING LOCATION. ALSO POSSIBLE AIRBAG ISSUE SINCE CAN GET SEAT STUCK UP AGAINST STEERING WHEEL. NO WAY TO ADJUST SEAT ONCE MOTOR STOPS WORKING. EVEN PAID TO GET REPAIRED THE OTHER MONTH AND NOW IT HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. ONLY THING GOOD THIS TIME IS THAT THE SEAT IS STUCK FURTHER BACK AND NOT UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. THAT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. CHECK OUT NISSAN FORUMS TO SEE HOW MANY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVER SEAT MOTORS STOPPING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD REPEATEDLY FALL FROM ITS HOUSING, OBSCURING THE CONTACT'S VISION OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE VISOR UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/05/12 *BF UPDATED 06/07/12 *JS

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BROKE IN 2 SPOTS. METAL FATIGUE LIKELY CAUSE ON THIS CRITICAL COMPONENT. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN. IT FLIPS DOWN ON ITS OWN ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FILING A COMPLAINT FORM. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM MY FIRST COMPLAINT FORM. I WAS ON THE HIGWAY AGAIN AND IT FELL MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THIS ISN'T JUST MY MURANO WITH THIS PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE, I HEARD A POP AND MY SEAT IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE LEFT AND ROCKED BACKWARD. MY FOOT MOVED AWAY FROM THE ACCELERATED AND THERE WAS SOME LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT CONTINUED TO ROCK AS I DROVE. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP, THE CAR LUNGED AND WITH GRAVITY MY SEAT ROCKED BACKWARD DECREASING THE PRESSURE OF MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. I HAVE TO HOLD MYSELF UP ON THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING TO KEEP THE SEAT SOMEWHAT STABLE. IF I HAVE TO MANUEVER A DEEP CURVE EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT IT IS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE WHILE BRACING MYSELF TO KEEP THE SEAT STILL. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SEAT ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE IN THE COMPLAINTS THAT A NISSAN MECHANIC ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND THEY EVEN ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC SAFETY.

LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE , I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. I HAD BOUGHT A 2006 MURANO WITH ONLY 28,000 MILES, ALONG WITH BEING THE SECOND OWNER ONLY AND NOT LONG AFTER I HAD IT, THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE!! THEY SAY IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ,YOUR SEAT IS LOOSE!!!!! AND WHAT IF YOU GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE OTHER HALF OF THE SEAT BREAKS AS WELL!!! HOW CAN THEY NOT RECALL THIS PRODUCT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE!!!!??? I LOVE MY CAR BUT VERY UNHAPPY WITH NISSAN THAT THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT !!!! *TR

DRIVERS (LEFT FRONT) SEAT BRACKET/FRAME BROKE. THE SEAT MOVES DURING TURNS, DECELERATION, ACCELERATION, AND BRAKING. DEALER WANTS $1300 TO REPLACE THE PART. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS FAULTY. THE FIRST TIME I PUT IT DOWN IT WAS VERY TIGHT. THE NEXT TIME I PUT IT DOWN IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING SNAPPED AND NOW THE VISOR HANGS EXTREMELY LOOSE. AS I AM DRIVING, IT CONTINUOUSLY FALLS BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. I KNOW THIS IS NOT DUE TO REGULAR USE AS I HAVE SEEM MANY COMPLAINTS IN DIFFERENT NISSAN FORUMS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE NEXT TOYOTA AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO CRASH AND DIE DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOU ARE NOT RECALLING? *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON CAME UP, SO I WENT TO MY MECHANIC & TOLD ME THAT CODE "PO463" CAME UP & FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED & THAT COST AROUND $800. I CHECK ONLINE & NOTICE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL & TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE....THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

SEAT JUMPS OFF ITS TRACK FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE DRIVING. ON A CURVE OR THROUGH A PUMP ON THE ROAD CAUSES TEMPORARY DISRUPTION OF THE DRIVER'S FOCUS ON THE ROAD THEREBY LOOSING TEMPORARY CONTROL AND INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH. *TR
