THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS LOOSE TILTS BACK AND TO THE LEFT WHEN I SIT IN IT. TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BROKEN "LIFT ASSEMBLY". THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $1200. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE, THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. MY MURANO HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ONLY HAS 52,888. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID SHE HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT?!?!?! SURE.... THERE ARE OVER 135 COMPLAINTS ON HERE, AND MANY OF THEM HAD NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR NISSAN TO STEP-UP AND TAKE ACTION FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING?!? RIDICULOUS! *TR

BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVE SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP, RESULTING IN OBSTRUCTED VISION WHILE DRIVING. *TR

IT COST ME ALMOST 500 DOLLAR TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIR AT THE DEALER.THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM,IT IS DEFECTIVE FROM DAY ONE. *TR
