2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

CPSC: I1340149A. 2007 NISSAN MURANO. CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED TWICE. *LN

SEAT FRAME PART FAILURE. AT FIRST THE SEAT LEANED THEN WITHIN A FEW DAYS BROKE. THIS MUST BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING OR ACCIDENT OCCURS BEFORE SEAT IS FIXED. I SPOKE TO A FEW NISSAN DEALERSHIPS WHO WERE ALL FULLY AWARE AND HAVE SEEN THIS SAME BROKEN PART OFTEN. NISSAN DOES NOT COVER THIS PART. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY MURANO TODAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN MY SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK. THE LEFT FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD BROKEN AND I DID NOT THINK THIS WAS POSSIBLE. I SEE FROM THIS WEBSITE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER MURANO DRIVERS OUT THERE THAT THIS IS HAPPENED TO AND THAT THEY HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY DIDNT CARE! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND IT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED! THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED! THEY ARE PUTTING OUR LIVES AND OTHERS ARE RISK! HEAVEN FORBID THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRAME GO. I AM CALLING NISSAN TOMORROW! THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN! THEY SHOULD NOT MAKE THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SHOTTY WORK AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE! *TR

AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2007 MURANO FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER, MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE THEM TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE NEEDED REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME ALMOST $3000.00 TO FIX THE AIRBAG SENSOR. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BUT I AM WONDERING WHY THE 07 AND 08 MODEL YEAR MURANOS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS HOW THE INITIAL RECALL LOOKS INCLUDING THE 07, 08, AND 09 MURANOS- VEHICLE MAKE / MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): INFINITI / EX35 2008 INFINITI / G35 2007-2008 INFINITI / G37 2008 NISSAN / 350Z 2007-2008 NISSAN / ALTIMA 2007-2008 NISSAN / ALTIMA HYBRID 2007-2008 NISSAN / MURANO 2007-2009 NISSAN / ROGUE 2008 FOLLOWED BY THE SUMMARY OF THE RECALL THAT EXPLAINS THE EXACT PROBLEM BUT EXCLUDES THE 2007-2008 MURANO MODELS. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET NISSAN TO EXTEND THE RECALL FOR THE REST OF US THAT GOT LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL PROCESS. THE SAME SYSTEM WAS USED IN THE 2007-2008 MURANOS BUT NOT SURE HOW THEY WERE LEFT OUT.??? *TR

THE TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING ON THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE. THERE IS COMMON FAILURE OF THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS IN ALL NISSAN MURANOS FROM 2004-2008...THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM AND QUICK SEARCH ON THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET PRODUCES A VAST NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. THE TRANSFER CASE SEAL STARTS LEAKING ON ALL THESE MODELS AND THE TRANS-AXLE FLUID DRIPS ON THE VERY,VERY HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD PIPE JUST BELOW THE SEEM OF THE TRANSFER CASE WHERE IT MATES WITH THE CVT. THE CVT IS COVERED UNDER A 120,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THE TRANSFER CASE PORTION IS NOT. REGARDLESS THE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD POTENTIALLY START A FIRE AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF THE VEHICLE, THE PROPERTY AROUND IT OR A LOSS OF LIFE FROM A FIRE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE TO THE FULLEST. THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THE LOSS OF FLUID HAS CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL....THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE....IN ADDITION THE COST OF REPAIRS EXCEEDS 3000.00 DOLLARS. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED A "BURNING RUBBER SMELL" THAT MECHANICS COULD NOT DUPLICATE. AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. I BEGAN HEARING A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE THAT TO ME (A TOTAL CAR NOVICE) SOUNDED LIKE BELTS. BECAUSE OF THE POWER SURGES PROBLEMS AND NOT CHANGING GEARS (RPMS WERE LOW WHEN I ACCELERATE) I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (INSTEAD OF MY LOCAL MECHANIC) I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE IT THERE BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. APPARENTLY IT IS A "TRANSFER CASE" DEFECT THAT THEY ARE GOING TO REPAIR AT A HUGE EXPENSE TO ME. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER MURANO OWNERS, I WAS SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF MURANO TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS THERE ARE OUT THERE. I HAVE DEFINITELY LOST MY CONFIDENCE IN NISSANS BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

CAR STALLED 3 TIMES, ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND TWICE ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST GETTING INTO SEVERAL CAR ACCIDENTS DO TO INTAKE COMING APART. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERS TO GET FIXED FOUND OUT THE CAR WAS A RECALL, WASN'T HAPPY ABOUT THAT. THE CAR SALESMEN DID NOT TELL ME IT WAS RECALLED. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE RECONSIDERED GETTING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY SO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME THAT NISSAN HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ITS FUEL SENSORS FOR YEARS AND YEARS ON MANY OF ITS MODELS AND HAS IGNORED IT. NOW I'M REQUIRED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS ON A FAULTY PART TO THE TUNE OF $655 BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T PASS INSPECTION OTHERWISE. NISSAN HAS PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN (NTB07-069A) FOR CODE P0463 BUT WON'T HELP AT ALL WITH THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER REPAIRS EITHER. FAULKNER NISSAN, HARRISBURG, PA SOUNDED LIKE I WAS THE 100TH PERSON CALLING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I AM SINGLE MOTHER, WORKING FULL TIME, SAVING TO SEND A DAUGHTER TO COLLEGE. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY NISSAN MURANO KNOWING IT IS VITAL TO MY ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY. I WILL NOW NEED TO BREAK THE LAW TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO WORK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $655 FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS DOWNRIGHT WRONG. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY ITS PRODUCT AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR EITHER ACCELERATED OR DECELERATED EVEN THOUGH I MAINTAINED STEADY PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. I DID TAKE IT FOR REPAIR AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. LUCKILY, I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS STILL WITHIN THE WARRANTY TIME FRAME. MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP FOR OVER 8 WEEKS. I WAS TOLD THAT 2 NEW TRANSMISSIONS WERE PLACED IN MY CAR AND THEN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS. ALTHOUGH IT WAS "FIXED" IT HAS NOT DRIVEN QUITE THE SAME. NOW I AM HEARING A STRANGE SOUND FROM MY ENGINE AND THINK I'M IN FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF REPAIRS. I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND WANT TO KNOW IF NISSAN CORP. HAS ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

DRIVER SEAT IS BROKEN, SEAT IS ROCKING. NO WARNING THAT THE SEAT WOULD GIVE OUT. GOT IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WOULD MOVE. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL. *TR
