2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE DOOR LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR MAY OR MAY NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY REMOTE OR THE DOOR LOCK BUTTONS ON THE OUTSIDE LATCH AND INSIDE DOOR. THIS BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, AS I LIKE TO KEEP MY DOORS LOCKED IN THE EVENT OF AN ATTEMPTED CARJACKING. *TR

ON THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT, THE SEAT FRAME BREAKS AND THE SEAT ITSELF BECOMES UNSTABLE, ROCKING BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL INCHES. THE SEAT'S INSTABLILTY IS NOTICABLE ON CORNERS WHEN IN MOTION. THIS IS APPARENTLY A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURANCE AS BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND VARIOUS CAR REPAIR SHOPS ARE FAMILIAR. NISSAN'S ANSWER TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS TO CHARGE OWNERS APROXIMATELY $1,000 TO INSTALL A REPLACEMENT SEAT FRAME. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRACTURED. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE BUT THE CONTACT DECLINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN DOWN POSITION. EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY, NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER IT. VISOR HAS TO BE HELD BY HAND WHILE DRIVING TO STAY IN CORRECT POSITION. IF NOT HELD, THEN VISOR MOVES OUT OF POSITION SOMETIMES BLOCKING VIEW OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND VEHICLES AHEAD. *KB

THIS IS A 2007 MURANO PURCHASED NEW IN 2008. ON SEPTEMBER 12, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED (25 MPH) THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR LOST ITS GRIP AND FELL TO A HANGING POSITION. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT IMPAIRS VISIBILITY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE NISSAN FORUMS AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MURANOS DATING BACK TO 2004. HOWEVER, DESPITE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS, I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THE PART/REPAIR IS REALLY EXPENSIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT WOULD WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE ABNORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

APPROX. 2 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT OF MY VEHICLE WAS WOBBLING. THE VEHICLE HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE LEFT, REAR PORTION OF THE SEAT WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. THE SEAT MOVES WHEN I ENTER AND EXIT THE CAR AND IT LEANS WHILE MAKING TURNS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED ON LINE FOR ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, AS THE SEAT SHOULD NOT BE LOOSE AND I SEE IT AS A HUGE SAFETY RISK SHOULD I BE IN A COLLISION. THE SEAT IS NOT SECURED TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUND MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE INVOLVING NOT ONLY THE 2007 YEAR MODEL, BUT OTHER YEAR MODELS AS WELL. MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS STATED THAT THEY HAD CONTACTED THEIR NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS CORPORATE NISSAN AND WERE TOLD THAT THIS DEFECT IS NOT INVOLVED IN A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, YET THEY WILL RECALL AN AIR CLEANER TUBE THAT HAS A TENDENCY TO COME LOOSE. THE DEALERSHIPS WILL REPAIR THE COMMON DEFECT FOR MORE THAN A $1000. I SENSE THAT THIS ISSUE HAS ALREADY COME TO YOUR ATTENTION, AFTER SEEING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REPORTED. PLEASE HELP US TO GET NISSAN TO THE NEXT RIGHT THING BY BACKING THEIR PRODUCT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, REPAIRING A GROSS DEFECT THAT ABSOLUTELY MAKES THEIR VEHICLES AFFECTED, UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED MY 2007 MURANO, THE DRIVER-SIDE ELECTRIC SEAT WOULD ROCK SLIGHTLY WHEN LEANING FORWARD OR BACK. RECENTLY THE FRAME CONNECTING THE FRONT OF THE SEAT (JUST UNDER THE CUSHION) TO THE FLOOR FRAME SNAPPED AND CAUSED THE ENTIRE SEAT TO FOLD BACKWARDS. LUCKILY I HAD JUST PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS ABLE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND PUT IT IN PARK BEFORE I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. UPON EXAMINATION, THE FRAME NECESSARY TO SECURE THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR WAS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

AT ANY RATE OF DRIVING THE WHEELS BEGIN TO SHAKE AND THE CAR RATTLES. TURNING AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND HE INDICATED THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW AND THUS ADDED FLUID. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND FLUID WAS ADDED AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC STATED THE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. APPROXIMATE MILEAGE 74,000. FLUID HAS TO BE REPLACED CONSISTENTLY AND I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THE CAR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MURANO. *TR
