2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE SEATBELT RELEASE MECHANISM HAS BECOME INTERMITTENT (STICKY) OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO THE COLLAPSE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME, WHICH OCCURRED ON THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THE SEAT BELT APPEARS TO BE ANCHORED TO THE SEAT FRAME ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AND TO THE VEHICLE BODY ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE WOBBLING MOTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT DUE TO THE COLLAPSED FRAME APPEARS TO AFFECT THE SEAT BELT TENSION, WHICH MAY BE AFFECTING THE OPERATION OF THE RELEASE MECHANISM. I AM AWAITING THE SAFETY RECALL ON BOTH OF THESE ISSUES. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS ADDED, THE RATTLING SOUND CONTINUED AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN AND BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. I USED TO KEEP MY SEAT UP HIGH BECAUSE I'M SHORT, AND IT HELPED ME HAVE A BETTER VIEW OF THE ROAD. I'VE LOWERED MY SEAT BECAUSE WHEN THE VISOR FALLS IT COMPLETELY BLOCKS MY VIEW. THE VISOR HAS STARTED FALLING AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT EVEN HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, WHERE THE ROAD IS SMOOTH. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ABRUPTLY FALLS DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. IT HAPPENS NOW CONTINUOUSLY. *KB

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SIDE LEFT WELD BRACKET BROKE ON MY SEAT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS CAR AND I AM A FEMALE WEIGHING 140 POUNDS. I DON'T THINK THAT IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT FOR A SEAT TO HOLD. THIS HAS CREATED A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME... AND IT'S GOING TO COST ME AROUND $1200 TO FIX. THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME... I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T NISSAN STEPPED IN AND ISSUED A RECALL TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I'M THINKING OF GETTING RID OF THIS CAR AND MOVING ON... I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT NISSAN MADE A QUALITY VEHICLE THAT WAS BUILT TO LAST AND SAFE, BUT WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE IS SAFE THAT CAN'T SAFELY HOLD A 140 POUND FEMALE INTO HER SEAT??? WAKE UP NISSAN AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!!! *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO'S DIFFERENTIAL JUST FAILED ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I WAS WITH THREE KIDS ON A HIGH WAY AND IT WAS PITCH DARK. THE ONLY THING I DID THAT DAY WAS TO CHANGE MY REAR TYRES AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS MIGHT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO IT. UPON RESEARCH FOR A NEW PART, I REALIZED THAT QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR MURANO AND I AM NOT SURE IF THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER-SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO AFTER NORMAL USE ONLY. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT BROKE WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. SINCE THE SEAT DROPS SUDDENLY WHEN THE FRAME BREAKS, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN DID NOT OFFER TO REPAIR THE SEAT. THEY TOLD ME THE PART ALONE COSTS $950 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN ORDER THE PART. *KB

MY AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE STARTED FLASHING. AFTER TAKING IT TO A NISSAN MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT THE WHOLE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $1200.00. I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF AIR BAG PROBLEMS FOR NISSANS JUST RANDOMLY GOING BAD. WE DIDN'T GET INTO A WRECK OR ABUSE THE CAR IN ANY WAY.... IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. ONE OF THE REASONS WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS BECAUSE IT HAD A 5 STAR SAFETY RATING. LITTLE DID I REALIZE THAT THE AIRBAG WILL JUST STOP WORKING WHILE I AM DRIVING. I BELIEVE THAT NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR THIS DEFECT AND ALL OTHERS LIKE IT. AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG TO CAUSE THIS AND THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OVER THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHERS. THANK YOU. *TT

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT FALLS DOWN UNEXPECTINGLY AND CAUSES THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER TO BE BLOCKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASSIONS THAT ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. NISSAN CLAIMS THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE NISSAN WEBISTE BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT RECALL THIS ITEM. TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR IS $350-500. *TT
