2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

MY DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN AND SOMETHING POPPED AND NOW THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH ON THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT. NOT VERY SAFE HAVING A SEAT THAT ROCKS WHILE DRIVING AND BROKE WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD WHEN IT BROKE. IT IS VERY SCARY TO HAVE IT BREAK AS YOU DRIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE FRONT DRIVERS BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND UPON EXAMINATION HE NOTICED THE SEAT WAS DETACHED FROM THE MOUNTING TRACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT DETACHED FROM THE MOUNTING TRACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

2005 MURANO SUN VISORS BROKE AND FELL HALF WAY DOWN BLOCKING SOME OF MY DRIVING VIEW. THEY WANT OVER $325.00 FOR A NEW ONE TIMES 2 = $650.00 WITHOUT ANY ASSURANCE THAT REPLACEMENTS WILL NOT DO THE SAME. THE ONLY ANSWER I GET IS OUT OF WARRANTY. PERHAPS YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME HELP TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE SHORT OF SEWING A SNAP TO THE ROOF. THANK YOU FOR ANY COOPERATION. *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND LIFT GATE LOCKS ARE FAILING TO LOCK OR UNLOCK FROM KEY FOB OR FROM LOCK/UNLOCK SWITCH ON DRIVER'S DOOR. *TR

DOOR LOCKS DOES NOT WORK AS INTENDED HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. *TR

BROKEN WELDS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BASE FRAME. FIRST BROKE ABOUND 4/9/2008. AFTERMARKET SEAT HEATERS HAD BEEN INSTALLED BY A VENDOR PREVIOUSLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO VENDOR, FOUND BROKEN WELDS IN THE DRIVER SEAT BASE, CAUSING THE BASE TO DROP DOWN AND TO THE LEFT. VENDOR REMOVED THE DRIVER SEAT, ALIGNED, REINFORCED , MIG WELDED THE AFFECTED AREAS. VENDOR REASSEMBLED AND TESTED SEAT, APPEARED TO BE SOLID. 9/15/2010. DRIVING VEHICLE AT MODERATE SPEED (35-40 MPH) , LOUD "POP" , THEN LEFT REAR SIDE OF DRIVERS SEAT DROPPED DOWN. NO LOSS OF CONTROL , BUT NOW AN OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE SITUATION. 9/22/10. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO VENDOR (SEE ABOVE), VENDOR PULLED OFF ACCESS PANELS AND VERIFIED THAT WELDS PERFORMED IN 2008 WERE SOLID AND THAT THE FRAME HAD BROKEN IN ANOTHER SPOT. DECLINED TO EVEN ATTEMPT A REPAIR AT THIS POINT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS AND ADVISED CONTACTING DEALER FOR NEW PART. 9/22//10 VISITED NISSAN DEALER, SEAT INSPECTED BY TECHNICIAN, STATED THAT THE REAR LOWER DRIVERS SEAT FRAME WAS BROKEN AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE DEPT QUOTED A PRICE OF $750.00 PARTS, $275.00 LABOR, FOR A TOTAL OF $125.00 PLUS TAX. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IN MY MIND. THE CAR HAS 44,000 MILES, WAS PURCHASED IN, AND SPENDS MUCH OF IT'S TIME IN FLORIDA. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST OR CORROSION ANYWHERE I KNOW OF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN. *TR

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS WITH A BROKEN SEAT . I FILE A COMPLAIN THREE YEARS AGO. EVERYBODY THAT I KNOW WHO OWNS A NISSAN MURANO HAS THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF COMPLAINS ABOUT THESE PROBLEM AND THE ODI HAS NOT ISSUE A RECALL. HOW MUCH IS NISSAN CORPORATION GIVING TO NOT DO A RECALL?; IM SURE THAT IF THE NISSAN MURANO OWNERS GET TOGETHER WE CAN COLLECT MORE MONEY TO MAKE ODI TO DO A RECALL THESE IS RIDICULOUS. I CAN LET YOU DRIVE MY MURANO SO YOU CAN FEEL WHO HARD IS TO DRIVE MY MURANO WITH A BROKEN SEAT. ODI NEEDS TO WORK ON THESE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT IN MY NISSAN MURANO FRAME CRACKED. WHILE I WAS STOPPING AT A STOP SIGNED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GO HEAD FIRST IN THE WINDSHIELD. I F MY KIDS WAS IN THE CAR THEN NO TELLING IF I LOST CONTROL OR HIT MY HEAD NO TELLING WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS BEFORE AND NOW IT SEEMS THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME FAILURE AS WHAT I HAVE HAD HERE. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE SEAT YET AND WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2005 I NOTICED 9-13-2010 MY BACK PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE INSIDE SWITCH OR WITH THE REMOTE I WENT TO THE NISSAN STORE THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $115.00 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT I REFUSED I WENT TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE AND AUTO ZONE THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY JUST THOSE TWO DOORS ARE ACTING THIS WAY I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO JUST GIVE SOMEONE TO CHECK THE PROBLEM I NEED TO KNOW THE PROBLEM. I WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL I CAN NOT LEAVE THOSE TWO BUILDINGS TO CHECK AND SEE IF SOMEONE HAS BROKEN INTO MY CAR EVERY MINUTE BECAUSE THE DOORS DON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN AND I HAVE A DISABLED CHILD AS WELL I PAID TOO MUCH MONEY TO PURCHASE THIS NICE VEHICLE I WANT EVERY LITTLE THING TO WORK PROPERLY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY CONSIDERING I HAVEN'T HAD IT A YEAR YET. *TR

I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ON 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THREE LOCKS SOMETIMES WORK,BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY DON'T. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BECAUSE THE LOCK WILL NOT WORK. I UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR
