2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

2006 NISSAN MURANO - DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT FLOPS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THE CLIP IS FINE - IT STAYS IN THE CLIP. HOWEVER, IT DOES FALL DOWN OVER THE ROD. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. COST TO REPLACE/FIX IS $400+. *TR

WHEN YOU TRY TO USE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR, IT WILL ONLY WORK IN THE COMPLETELY DOWN POSITION. AS I AM 5'-7" TALL, THE VISOR IN THIS POSITION ALMOST COMPLETELY BLOCKS MY VIEW. SOME OTHER TIMES IT JUST DROPS DOWN ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2006. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2006, NISSAN MURANO, DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME HAS BROKEN. IT WOBBLES AS I DRIVE.THE SEAT BRACKET ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT BROKE AND NOW THE SEAT ROCKS AROUND WHEN DRIVING IT. THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS STILL WORK, BUT THE SEAT ROCKS SEVERELY WHEN MAKING A TURN OR DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD. I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WOULD COST 1100 TO REPLACE THE SEAT. IF THEY LOOKED AT IT TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS BROKEN, THEY WOULD CHARGE ME 105. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO SL ELECTRIC DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FAILURE. YESTERDAY MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT MADE A SNAPPING NOISE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND THE SEAT SLUMPED / SLANTED TO THE LEFT SO I WAS LEANING TOWARD THE DRIVERS DOOR AS I WAS DRIVING. I STOPPED THE CAR AND CHECKED THE SEAT BY SHAKING IT FIRMLY. THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT SEEMED TO BE DETACHED FROM THE FRAME RAILS OF THE VEHICLE SO THE SEAT LITERALLY FLOPPED BACK AND FORTH. FROM THE UNDERSIDE REAR OF THE SEAT I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE BROKEN BRACKET THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT TO THE FRAME, IT IS SNAPPED/SHEARED OFF. I AM ONLY 230LBS AND HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST OVER A YEAR PURCHASING IT USED. I HAVE NEVER ABUSED THE SEAT OR THE VEHICLE. AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH THIS MORNING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART AND IT SEEMS MANY MURANO'S FROM ALL YEARS SUFFER THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALER IS CHARGING $1000+TO FIX IT, OR YOU CAN HAVE SOMEBODY WELD THE PART. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BUT AFTER THE RESEARCH IT IS CLEAR IT IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE QUALITY OF THE METAL OR THE DESIGN OF THE PART WHICH IS SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY ITEM. I WAS JUST DRIVING WHEN IT SNAPPED, HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH NISSAN VEHICLES HAVEN'T SNAPPED YET BUT ARE IN A WEAKENED STATE WHICH COULD JUST LET LOOSE DURING AN ACCIDENT. I AM GOING TO COMPLAIN TO NISSAN BUT I EXPECT IT WILL GO NO WHERE. THANK YOU. *TR

I DON'T RECALL A PARTICULAR INCIDENT THAT CAUSED AND INITIATED MY SEAT ISSUE WITH MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND IS LEANING TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S DOOR WHEN I SIT ON IT. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS CAN POTENTIALLY INJURE SOMEONE IF THE FRAME BREAKS OFF AND CAN CAUSE A PERSON WHO IS DRIVING GET IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO - GOT INTO THE CAR ONE DAY AND WHEN THE SEAT WENT TO REPOSITION ITSELF THERE WAS A LOUD CRACKING NOISE THAT COME FROM BELOW THE SEAT. NOW WHEN I GO AROUND CORNERS, THE SEAT SHIFTS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT (OR RIGHT TO LEFT DEPENDING ON THE CORNER). I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE CAR ($1899.00) WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER FIXING THE SEAT. *TR

SEAT ADJUSTER AND SEAT SLIDER GOT BROKEN IN NISSAN MURANO 2006 CAUSING DRIVER SEAT TO ROCK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A SERVICE CENTER, I WAS TOLD THAT I CANNOT DRIVE IT UNTIL IT IS FIXED DUE SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAD TO FIX IT ASAP AND COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $1475. SEARCHING INTERNET I DISCOVERED THAT IT IS RATHER COMMON PROBLEM FOR MURANOS FROM 2003 TO 2007. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 MURANO FROM NISSAN OF GARDEN CITY AROUND JULY OF 2010, AFTER FILING OUT THE PAPERWORK FOR IT I NOTICED WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR THE SEAT FELT ODD. I ASKED THE REP WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT HE SAID "OOOHH GET BRING IT BACK TOMORROW WE WILL GET IT CHECKED OUT FREE OF CHARGE". THOSE WERE HIS EXACT WORDS. I SAID OKAY NO BIG DEAL, TOOK THE VEHICLE DOWN THE NEXT MORNING LET THEM LOOK AT IT I RECEIVED A CALL TELLING ME THE SEAT FRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THEY REPLACED IT FOR FREE. MONTHS GO NO ISSUE UNTIL ONE DAY I'M DRIVING WITH MY NEPHEW IN THE BACK AND I GO TO TAKE A TURN AND THE SEAT FRAME SNAPPED AGAIN NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CAR IN THE OTHER LANE. I FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND NOTICED THE FRAME WAS BROKEN AGAIN. I PROCEEDED TO CALL MY DEALER I TALKED TO THE REP HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO SEE IF IT'S UNDER WARRANTY, HE SAID HE WOULD CALL ME BACK HE NEVER DID. EXTREMELY VEX I CALLED NISSAN TALKED TO A REP THE FIRST TIME COMPLETE BONE HEAD. TALKED TO ANOTHER REP NAMED YOLANDA BROWN SHE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN TO THEM, I HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET BECAUSE SCHOOL IS NOW IN SESSION AND I'M TIED UP, HOWEVER I WILL BE TAKING IT DOWN THERE THIS WEEK. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH ON THIS FAILURE OF A DESIGN FOR A SEAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN COULD PUT SUCH A POOR QUALITY PRODUCT IN THEIR CAR. WHEREVER I LOOK EVERYONE IS SAYING TAKE IT TO YOUR LOCAL MECHANIC AND LET HIM WELD IT OR FABRICATE A PART FOR YOU. IF THINGS DO NOT WORK OUT WITH NISSAN I MIGHT GO THAT ROUTE. HOWEVER IT'S BEEN NOTED TO NISSAN THAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PART FAILING I WILL SUE THEM. *LN
