2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WAS BROKEN AND UNSTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE DEALER INSPECTED AND CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO INQUIRE HOW TO REPAIR THE SEATS AND IF THE REPAIRS WOULD BE COVERED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PAY A PERCENTAGE AND THE CONTACT WOULD BE PAYING THE DIFFERENCE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

PROBLEM WITH DOOR LOCKS ON 05 NISSAN MURANO OCCASIONALLY WORKING, OCCASIONALLY NOT. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM IN NISSAN VEHICLES. HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY '05 NISSAN MURANO WON'T STAY UP. IT FALLS DOWN WHILE DRIVING, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. IT SEEMS THAT MANY MURANO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALER WILL COST OVER $400. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER ANY RECALL AND THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR ANY REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, THE SEAT BROKE. THE SEAT WAS REPAIRED ACCORDINGLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

2005 NISSAN MURANO: FOUR OF SIX LOCK ACTUATORS ARE FAILING SIMULTANEOUSLY - THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR, BOTH REAR DOORS AND THE REAR CARGO HATCH. FAILURE WERE INTERMITTENT UNTIL 5/9/10 WHEN ALL FAILED COMPLETELY AT THE SAME TIME. YOU CAN PRESS THE LOCK/UNLOCK SWITCH AND THE DOORS WILL AUDIBLY APPEAR TO LOCK. HOWEVER, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE PRESENTING A SECURITY HAZARD - CAR JACKING, STOLEN PROPERTY, ETC. NISSAN HAS TOLD MANY OF US OWNERS THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY REPLACING ALL THE ACTUATORS AT A COST OF $1,600+. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY STORIES OF THIS SAME FAILURE IN MURANOS AND OTHER NISSAN MODELS THAT IT IS SIMPLY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO TAKEN IN TO NISSAN OF GASTONIA ON 4/27/10 TO HAVE THE AIR INTAKE RECALL CORRECTED. MILEAGE IS ABOUT 52,000 MILES. ON 4/29/10, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY HAD TROUBLE WITH DELAYED STARTING. CODE P0345 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A BANK 2 CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND MADE APPOINTMENT FOR THEIR NEXT AVAILABLE DATE 5/4/10 AND TOOK IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. SERVICE MANAGER FELT QUITE CERTAIN THAT THEY HAD LEFT SOMETHING UNPLUGGED. HE CAME BACK TO ME 1 HOUR LATER TO ADVISE THAT I NEEDED A NEW CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. IT COST ME $247 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. TOO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS SENSOR ON LINE ON NISSAN RECALLS FOR THIS NOT TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN ON THE 05 MURANOS' TOO. *TR
