2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE FRAME RUSTED THROUGH. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT! VERY DISAPPOINTING ON NISSAN. I DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL, REAR END TOTALLY COLLAPSE, WHEELS ARE TILTED IN AND LOST TRACTION.

JATCO CVT, A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN. IT BURNS AND LEAKS OIL PUTTING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT RISK OF FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRACTURED DUE TO A FAILURE WITH THE ANCHOR/BRACKET ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. UNIVERSAL NISSAN (12785 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32837, (407) 926-7000) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE08065 (SEATS); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS THE INVESTIGATION FROM NHTSA. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

ON 3/19/19 I WAS DRIVING DOING ABOUT 37 MILES AS I STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN MADE A LEFT TURN . UPON MAKING THAT TURN I HEARD A LOUD POP INTO MY LEFT EAR AND A BURNING SENSATION ON MY LEFT ARM AND THE BACK OF MY SHOULDER . I BECAME DIZZY AND BLURRED VISION I HELD MY COMPOSURE AND PULLED INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION I STRUGGLED TO GET THE DOOR OPEN I NOTICED ALL AIRBAGS EXPLODED EXCEPT THE TWO FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER BAGS . I RECEIVED BURNS AND BRUISING ON MY MY LEFT ARM NECK AND THE SIDE OF MY FACE . THERE WAS NEVER AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGING IMPACT DONE TO THE VEHICLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

SEAT SUPPORT IS BROKEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CAUSING THE DRIVER MY SON, TO SHIFT TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. A DEALER SOLD THIS USED CAR AS IS AND COVERED A WOODEN BLOCK THAT SUPPORTED THE SEAT WITH CLOTH TO DISGUISE THE PROBLEM. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS SITE I FOUND OVER 700 COMPLAINTS. THE SEAT IS COMPROMISED AND IT'S A MANUFACTURERS SAFETY DEFECT. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR THE DRIVER COULD BE THROWN INTO THE DASH OR WORST BECAUSE OF A ALREADY BROKEN DRIVER SEAT SUPPORT. WHY SHOULD CONSUMERS NOT BE MADE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND THE MANUFACTURE REQUIRED TO DO A PROPER FIX? IS THE SEAT BELT DESIGNED TO HOLD THE PASSENGER AND THE SEAT IN PLACE DURING AN ACCIDENT?

EXTREME RUSTING ON FRAME, BEING ADVISED THAT THIS 12 YEAR OLD MURANO WOULD NOT EVEN PASS NEXT INSPECTION DUE TO THE RUST.

NISSAN HAS REPLACED THREE TRANSMISSIONS IN OUR CAR AND NOW THE FOURTH ONE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THEY ARE TELLING US TO BAD AND THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE WE TRAVEL DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR RACKS OUT WE HAVE TO PULL IT OVER WAIT FOR A BIT AND RESTART IT THEN IT WILL RUN NISSAN TOLD US THAT THIS TRANSMISSION WAS NEW AND IT'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE OTHER TRANSMISSIONS WERE DOING NISSAN SAYS THEY ONLY WARRANTY THIS TRANSMISSION FOR 12000 MILES THIS HAS ABOUT 25000 ON IT THIS IS SO DANGEROUS WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS I'VE BEEN TOLD A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL I AM NOT SURE WHY MY VIN IS NOT RECALL AS YET. THE CAR ACCELERATES ON OCCASION. I REPLAVE ALL COILS NOW EVERY 2 MONTHS BECAUSE THATS HOW LONG THEY ARE LASTING NISSAN WESTON FLORIDA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR KEEPS BURNING COILS OUT. THIS FEELS SO DANGEROUS TO ME ON THE HOGHWAY I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS THE TRANSMISSION OR COMPUTER ITS VERY SCARY

HELLO, I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST DAMAGE BEING ONLY 12 (ALMOST 13) YEARS OLD. I PUT HOURS OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MY VEHICLE IS NOT ALONE IN THIS. [HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/NISSAN/MURANO/FRAME-RUST-PROBLEMS.PHP] THIS LINK SHOWS JUST A FEW OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED OF A SIMILAR ISSUE. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE STRENGTHENED THESE SUBFRAMES BECAUSE A 12-13 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE A BACK END DROP OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF SALT. I LIVE IN OHIO AND WE GET ABOUT 1-3 MONTHS OF SNOW AND OUR CITIES SALT A MODERATE AMOUNT. OTHER VEHICLE WE OWN/HAD (2001 FORD, 2002 FORD, 2005 FORD) HAVE RUST FROM THE SNOW BUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLES ARE INTACT AND SAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, THE NISSAN SUBFRAMES IN THESE MURANO'S ARE FAILING AND ENDANGER DRIVERS AROUND THE VICTIM'S CAR. PERSONALLY, I CAN HANDLE A CAR THAT LOSES CONTROL EVEN WHEN CARS ARE NEXT TO ME, BUT THIS STILL PUTS MYSELF AND VEHICLES AROUND ME IN DANGER. JUST RECENTLY MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AND WITH NO ICE ON THE ROAD (9:00PM ON A 47 DEGREE RAINY DAY) MY VEHICLE WOBBLES FROM THE BACK END AND VEERS RIGHT WHILE I AM ON HE HIGHWAY. I ADVISE THAT NISSAN TAKE ACTION AND RECALL THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO BECAUSE THEIR SUBFRAMES ARE NOT BUILT TO LAST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF SNOW AND SALT THAT PEOPLE IN THE NORTH ARE SUBJECTED TO. I UNDERSTAND SALT IS CORROSIVE AND DETERIORATE THE CARS FASTER BUT THIS CAR IS A LUXURY CAR AND SHOULD BE BUILT TO LAST LONGER THAN MY 2002 FORD FOCUS HAS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. ALSO MAY I ADD THAT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THIS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ALIGN THE CAR AND STATED THAT THE 'RUSTED OUT' SUBFRAME WILL BREAK IF HE ATTEMPTS TO FREE THE PARTS NEEDED TO ALIGN THE REAR OF THE CAR. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME SHAKY AND WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL NEARLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO GO OFF THE ROAD. DRIVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TOOK VEHICLE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME HAD NEARLY RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH.
