2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

SUN VISOR ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO BECAME LOOSE AND NOW CONSTANTLY DROPS DOWN INTO FIELD OF VIEW WHILE DRIVING AT SLIGHT BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR HITS A SMALL BUMP, AND PARTIALLY OBSCURES VISION. *TR

DRIVING MY 2006 MURANO WHEN SUDDENLY THE SEAT LURCHED DOWN TO THE LEFT AFTER A LOUD SNAP. DEALER SAID MY SEAT FRAME HAD A BROKEN WELD, AND A NEEDED REPLACEMENT WOULD COST $1,150.00., EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN. I PAID FOR THE SEAT, AND IMMEDIATELY DECIDED TO SELL THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD 63,000 MILES AND IT WAS ALWAYS WELL MAINTAINED. I AM NOT AN USUALLY LARGE MAN, 225 LBS. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS FAILURE, AND REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR POOR SAFETY DESIGN. *TR

SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN INTO LINE OF VISION WHEN CAR HITS A BUMP AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR TALL DRIVERS TO SEE THE ROAD. VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS RESULTS IN HAVING TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE OTHER HAND IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. DEALER WANTS $500 TO REPLACE VISOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2003-2007 MURANOS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO WHEN SHE SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. THE DRIVER SEAT, WHICH WOBBLES, LEANED FREELY TO THE RIGHT AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND GO INTO THE DITCH. LUCKILY, SHE WAS NOT INJURED AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN OUT OF THE DITCH. THIS ISSUE WITH THE SEAT HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED AS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. THE SEAT NOW CONSTANTLY WOBBLES AND LEANS FORWARD AND TO THE RIGHT WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAID A NEW BRACKET WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED, WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1000. *TR

POWER DRIVERS SEAT ON 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAS FAILED. SEAT STUCK IN TWISTED POSITION WHEN ENGINE STARTED CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE IF DRIVEN. CAR CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN WITH SEAT IN THIS POSITION. SEAT BRACKET WITH MOTORS WAS REPLACED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE TRIED TO PUT IT BACK IN PLACE IT FELL BACK DOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE FAILURE AND SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 53,000.

2006 MURANO SUN VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE SUDDENLY FALLS AND BLOCKS VISION. NOT A RETAINING CLIP ISSUE BUT AN INTERNAL FRICTION FAILURE TO THE UP / DOWN PIVOT SYSTEM. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SEAT TRACK JUST BROKE AND THE SEAT WOBBLES WHEN I DRIVE. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2006 MURANO CAME LOOSE FROM IT'S MOUNTING SATURDAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT IS LIKE THE SEAT CAME LOOSE FROM THE OUTER MOUNTING BRACKET. WHEN I TRANSFER MY WEIGHT TO MY LEFT, WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, I CAN FEEL THE SEAT TIP SIDEWAYS TO AN ALARMING DEGREE. WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN, I FEEL LIKE THE SEAT IS GOING TO ROLL RIGHT OUT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. VERY UNSETTLING. I TOOK THE CAR TODAY TO MY NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. TOLD ME A BRACKET HAD SNAPPED UNDER THE SEAT AND THAT THE "SEAT ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST: $1200 INCLUDING LABOR. THIS SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS ON SEVERAL LEVELS, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW IN THE MATERIALS USED TO HOLD THAT SEAT IN PLACE. I WAS ADVISED BY SERVICE WRITER NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR, AS THE SEAT COULD BREAK OFF AND ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE I AM DRIVING. FYI, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY OFF ROADING, EVER. I WEIGH 190 POUNDS, SO I'M NOT HUGE. I'M SHOCKED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM TODAY AND FOUND AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY OF DISGRUNTLED MURANO OWNERS WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. I THINK YOUR ORGANIZATION SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
