2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE SUN VISOR FELL AND BLOCKED THE DRIVERS VIEW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

TOTALLY UNEXPECTEDLY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT TILTED BACKWARDS ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AS I LOST CONTROL FOR A WHILE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GARAGE AFTER WEDGING THE SEAT STATIONARY WITH BLOCKS OF WOOD. THE MECHANIC SAID THE WELD ON THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE AND THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX AT A COST OF $1100. DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET NISSAN TO REPAIR WHAT WAS CLEARLY A FAULTY DESIGN THAT CAUSED METAL FATIGUE, THE SEAT STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IN A SHORT TIME ABOUT 200 INSTANCES OF THIS BRACKET BREAKING IN THIS SAME SPOT. THIS CAR HAS ONLY ABOUT 38,000 MILES AND HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN BY MYSELF. *TR

DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO QUIT WORKING THROUGH KEY FOB, DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IS TO PUT KEY INTO DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THEN MANUALLY UNLOCK ALL OTHERS, TO INCLUDE REAR HATCH. STARTED WITH FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THEN MADE ITS WAY AROUND THE CAR ONE DOOR AT A TIME. TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO I DIDN'T PURSUE. WANTING NISSAN TO FIX BECAUSE APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY BROTHER IN LAW'S DRIVERS SEAT ALSO COLLAPSED. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR STORIES ON THE INTERNET. WHEN ASKING NISSANS CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER THEY TOOK 21 DAYS TO INVESTIGATE. THEY FINALLY TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THE $900 THAT WAS ESTIMATED TO FIX. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE FACT WE DID NOT HAVE OUR WARRANTY. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT TOOK 21 DAYS TO FIGURE THAT OUT! *TR
