TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACKWARDLY WITHOUT INTENT. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUPPORT BRACKET FRACTURED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,300.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BEGAN SWINGING DOWN AND BLOCKING VISION INTERMITTENTLY DURING HIGH SPEED TRAVEL AND BUMPY CONDITIONS. THE VISOR HAS CONTINUED TO DEGRADE AND SWINGS DOWN UNDER ALMOST ANY MOVEMENT. I HAD A QUOTE FROM A MECHANIC TO REPLACE THIS ITEM, BUT THE COST SEEMS EXCESSIVE. THE VISOR IS CURRENTLY HELD IN PLACE WITH DUCT TAPE/ VELCRO, BUT THE HOME FIX IS NOT EFFECTIVE OR LONG LASTING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A POP AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT DROPPED DOWN AND BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SEAT FRAME BRACKET WAS BROKEN AND WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR (NOT IN WARRANTY) AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $800 FOR THE PART, AS THE BRACKET WOULD ONLY BE SOLD AS PART OF THE ENTIRE MOTOR ASSEMBLY. *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY; LOOKED OVER LEFT SHOULDER TO CHANGE LANES AND HEARD LOUD POP. SEAT FELL BACK AND TO THE LEFT UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS DID CAUSE ME TO GO INTO ANOTHER LANE - THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE THERE AT THAT TIME. FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE THE SEAT BOUNCED UP AND DOWN AND MOVED FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. NISSAN DOES SELL A "BRACKET" TO HELP REINFORCE THIS BUT IT IS OVER $1000.00 OR YOU CAN BUY THE SEAT BRAND NEW FOR $2-3,000. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE HEAT/ELECTRIC TO THE SEAT. THESE PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE LABOR EITHER. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME EVERY DAY AND I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT END IN AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS THAT EVENTUALLY IT MAY END THAT WAY FOR SOMEONE THOUGH. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL? DOES SOMEONE TRULY NEED TO LOOSE THEIR LIFE IN ORDER FOR A RECALL TO HAPPEN? WHEN YOU SPEND THIS MUCH ON A LUXURY VEHICLE YOU EXPECT IT TO STAND UP AND THE MAKER BEHIND IT TO STAND BEHIND IT!!! I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AT THIS TIME WITH HOW NISSAN IS HANDLING THIS. *TR

BROKEN SEAT TRACK FROM NO KNOWN CAUSE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND IT, REASON, OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

POWER STEERING HOSE IS LEAKING, POWER STEERING FLUID IS FLAMMABLE. UPON DOING RESEARCH NUMEROUS NISSAN MURANO OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME DEFECT. REPAIR COST IS BETWEEN $400-500. IF THE MANIFOLD WERE TO GET HOT ENOUGH AND POWER STEERING FLUID CAME INTO CONTACT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

BOTH VISORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE DROP; MOSTLY OCCURS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, IF THE ROAD IS A LITTLE BUMPY IT FALLS DOWN A LOT! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURS SO OFTEN AND I LIVE IN A BIGGER CITY AND DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM OF TRAFFIC ON A REGULAR BASIS, IT CAUSES MY LINE OF SIGHT TO BE EXTREMELY OBSTRUCTED AS I AM A TALLER PERSON AND ALREADY HAVE MY SEAT DOWN AS LOW AS POSSIBLE AND CANNOT SEE ANYTHING WHEN THE VISOR DROPS. *TR
