2007 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

BRACKET ON THE LEFT SIDE OF DRIVER'S SEAT CRACKED IN HALF. SEAT NOW ROCKS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. WHILE DRIVING, THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING/SCARY AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT $1,000 AND THE DEALER CLAIMS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT AS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AND/ OR NISSAN SHOULD WARRANTY THE REPAIR.. *TR

DRIVER SEAT SUDDENLY BECAME LOOSE DURING MY AFTERNOON COMMUTE. IT ROCKS VERY BADLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I95 THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE AND BEGAN ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. I MANAGED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR TILL I GOT HOME AND PROPPED THE SEAT UP WITH WOOD BLOCKS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM FROM MURANO OWNERS, 41 EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE FIRST SITE I VIEWED. NISSAN ADMITS NO FAULT AND RECOMMENDS A $1200 REPAIR. I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM CONSTANTLY, BUT CAN USUALLY MAKE A WELD REPAIR FOR ABOUT $70. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY QUADRUPLED THE PRICE TO $300 FOR THE WELD. WHEN I BALKED, THE MECHANIC AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME I HAD TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I AGREE, IT CERTAINLY IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. SHOULDN'T NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR DESIGN FLAW BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED?

FRONT SEAT IN THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO IS OFF IT'S BRACKET, CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY OVER 2,000 TO GET IT FIXED. THE WHOLE FRAME IS BROKEN AND IT SHAKES WHEN I SIT IN THE CAR. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K ON IT. *LN

UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN MY COMMUTE TO WORK, I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD APPARENTLY SEPARATED FROM ITS TRACKS, AND WAS ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS DISCONCERTING, AND CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER 2006, AND NOW HAS 27,500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A FAILURE LIKE THIS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER ACCURATE LEVEL OF FUEL IN TANK. SAFETY CONCERN AS NOT ABLE TO ACCURATELY KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN TANK.

I WENT TO SIT IN MY DRIVERS SEAT AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD CRACK AND MY SEAT BROKE. IT NOW ROCKS AND LEANS INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE SEAT LITERALLY ROCKS AND IS VERY UNSTABLE. IF THE SEAT COMES COMPLETELY UNHINGED DURING THE DRIVING PROCESS OR IN AN ACCIDENT THE DRIVER COULD BECOME SEVERELY INJURED DUE TO THE INSTABILITY. IN ADDITION, IT CAUSES MY SEATBELT TO GET STUCK IN BETWEEN SEAT AND DOOR BECAUSE SEAT TOUCHES THE DOOR WHEN SITTING IN IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS FIX IS APPROX $1000 TO $1200. I NOTICED ONLINE AND ON THIS SITE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FORCE THE AUTOMAKER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE NEED SERIOUS ACTION QUICKLY BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND NISSAN SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR IT AS THIS IS HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IS VERY UNSAFE FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES THAT COULD BE AFFECTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DURING THE COURSE OF NORMAL, ROUTINE AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME LOOSE AND BEGAN TO ROCK/MOVE. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT SEAT MOUNT FOR DRIVER'S SEAT WAS BROKEN AT A WELD SPOT, COMPROMISING THE INTEGRITY OF THE MOUNTING. NO COLLISSION OR OTHER ABNORMAL EVENT PRECIPITATED THE INCIDENT. THIS WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT IN THE SEAT MOUNT WITH SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS.

2007 NISSAN MURANO ,NO ACCIDENT, FAILURE OF DRIVERS SEAT FRAME, CRACKED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. THIS COULD CERTAINLY BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT AFFECTS THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVER IS DRIVING, SHOULD BE A RECALL . FIX IS QUOTED AT 1,200.00 DOLLARS WAITING FOR PARTS CURRENTLY. OLD PARTS STILL IN CAR. *TR
