I HAVE 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND I WENT INTO MY CAR AND WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO WORK, I SAT IN MY CAR AND WHEN I PUT ON MY SEAT BELT I FELT THAT MY DRIVER SEAT SHIFT TO THE LEFT AND WAS VERY LOOSE AND CONSTANTLY MOVING AS I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT IS BROKEN AND THAT IT COST ABOUT $500 FOR THE PARTS ALONE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SEAT HA BROKEN 2X NOW. LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT. CAN WE NOT GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

POWER SEAT SUPPORT BRACKET ON NISSAN 2006 MURANO BROKEN. WHEN DRIVER SETS IN SEAT THE SEAT TILTS TO THE LEFT. BRACKET LOOKS VERY LIGHT DUTY FOR A AVERAGE DRIVER. *TR

ADD ME TO THE LIST OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WHO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME/BRACKET/ANCHOR/RAIL THAT BREAKS OR FAILS. OUR VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE AND INITIALLY WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER THE LOCAL NISSAN SHOP GURU INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED OF COURSE DOES NOT COVER THIS EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE SEAT ON THE BROCHURE. LIKE OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD $1000+ TO REPAIR. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WOULD RE-OPEN THEIR INVESTIGATION AS IT WAS CLOSED ON 7/2/09 AND IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE TAKES A COUPLE OF YEARS TO MANIFEST. OUT OF THE 108 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED 23 WERE PRIOR TO THE DATE THE INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED 11/18/08, SO 85 WERE AFTER THAT OR MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. MY HOPE IS THAT THEY RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION DUE TO ONGOING COMPLAINTS RELATING TO AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. ISN'T THE OBJECTIVE TO IDENTIFY AN ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND HAVE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY NISSAN IS NOT MOTIVATED DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY SOLD OVER 500,000 1ST GENERATION MURANOS(IT IS NOT JUST THE 2006 MODEL THAT HAS THESE ISSUES). SO IF IT IS $1,000 PER REPAIR ON A RECALL AT 500,000 UNITS THE TOTAL PRICE TAG IS 500 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS FIX. WELL NO WONDER WHY THIS HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. THAT IS REALLY THE BOTTOM LINE I BELIEVE. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT ALWAYS DROPS ALL THE WAY DOWN. SUN VISOR CANNOT BE ADJUSTED THE WAY YOU WANTED IT. DEALER CHARGE $350.00 TO REPLACE THE PART IN ORDER TO FIX IT AND IN THINK IT IS A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT. A LOT OF MURANOS OWNER ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ON THEIR VEHICLES AND I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND CORRECTED BY NISSAN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE "SUN VISOR" HAS FAILED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WHILE DRIVING THE VISOR DROPS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER! I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE ON ALL NISSAN MURANO'S AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND "SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM" DUE TO THE SERIOUS SAFETY RISK! THEY WERE SYMPATHETIC TO THE ISSUE BUT UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE VISOR WITHOUT CHARGE FOR THE PART AND LABOR! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS VISOR ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM! SINCE SEEING THE DEALER MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE VISOR DROPPING INTO HER LINE OF SIGHT CAUSING HER TO HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. *TR
