2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

2005 MURANO SEAT RAIL SNAPPED / FAILED. SEAT DETACHED FROM SEAT MOUNT ON LEFT SIDE DRIVERS SIDE. SEAT IS NOW LOOSE AND UNSTABLE / NOT FACTORY SECURED TO MOUNTING RAIL SYSTEM. THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AS PROPER OPERATIONS OF RESTRAINT AND AIRBAG SYSTEMS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED WITH THE SEAT NOT PROPERLY ATTACHED TO FRAME. *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR OF VEHICLE FALLS DOWN ON IT'S OWN. BLOCKS DRIVER'S VISION. OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. SOME TIMES MORE FREQUENTLY DEPENDING UPON THE ROAD. IF THE ROADWAY IS BUMPY, THE VISOR WILL FALL MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHOUT ANY EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IN SOME INSTANCES THE DEALER WILL REPAIR. IN OTHER INSTANCES THEY WILL NOT. COST OF THE REPAIR IS AROUND $400.00. I PLAN TO GO TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND HOPE THEY WILL REPAIR. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO - DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. FALLS SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS VISION OF THE ROAD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. NISSAN SAYS IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING A 05 NISSAN MURANO, A MONTH LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE AIRBAG MODULE WAS REPLACED AND SYSTEM WAS RESET. IN LATE 06 THE AIRBAG LIGHT START FLASHING AGAIN, THE DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM, WORKED FINE UNTIL OCT OF 08 AT THIS POINT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS ENDED. THEY RESET THE SYSTEM AND PULLED THE CODE FROM THE UNIT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE AKA CLOCKSPRING CABLE IS FAULTY THAT IS THE REASON WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS QUOTED A LITTLE OVER $2000 FOR THE REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS ENDED ASK TO TALK TO A MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ALSO ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER THAT DAY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, WHEN I CALLED THEM I WAS GIVEN THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RESET THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I ASK THE IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL WORK IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND WAS TOLD THEY CANT GUARANTEE IT WILL BUT IT SHOULD IF THE SYSTEM IS RESET AND THE LIGHT IS NOT ON. FROM THAT DAY TO NOW I HAVE TO RESET THE SYSTEM AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I'VE HAD IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEALS LEAKING WITH CAUSES THE OIL LEVEL TO GET LOW AND MAKES IT LOUD AND INCREASES THE RPM WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE SEAL REPLACED 3 TIMES, ONCE UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY, ONCE WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND JUST RECENTLY HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. AND AGAIN ASKED TO TALK TO A SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THIS SINCE ITS THE SAME PART BEING REPLACED 3 TIMES, AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

ON MARCH 27, 2010, I WAS STOPPING AT A LIGHT AND THE DRIVER'S FRONT SEAT, IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO, BROKE. I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY; HOWEVER, MY SEAT WAS NOT COVERED. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND IT COST ME $461.23 TO HAVE MY SEAT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT MY REAR CUSHION SUPPORT BRACKET WAS BROKEN, THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MURANOS, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO EITHER GET IT FIXED THERE (AT THE DEALERSHIP) OR I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER FACILITY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS NOT NORMAL - WEAR AND TEAR 'A BROKEN SEAT FROM STOPPING AT A LIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS, BUT WOULD PUT IN A COMPLAINT ON MY BEHALF. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT BRACKET BROKE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED; AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER SEAT WAS CAPABLE OF MOVING BACK AND FORTH INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WOULD OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WHEN THE CONTACT CALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO ON SUNDAY, APRIL 11,201 , I HEARD SOMETHING CRACK AND MY DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSED ON THE LEFT REAR. IT APPEARS THAT THESEAT FRAME BROKE. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN, AS I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO PULL OVER AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED. FROM AN INTERNET INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOME DIES AS A RESULT OF AN APPARENT DESIGN FLAW. *TR

DOOR LOCKS PROBLEM. WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS WITH MY CONTROL OR FROM THE INSIDE, THEY DON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK. SAME WITH THE TRUNK, I CANNOT OPEN MY TRUNK BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK. I CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO REPLACE LOCKS (ALL 5) FOR MORE THAN $1500.00 I ALSO SEE THIS ISSUE IS COMMON IN ALL NISSAN IN DIFFERENT YEARS. A RECALLED SHOULD BE CALLED SINCE THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THANKS *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO. DRIVER SEAT ANCHOR/BRACKET ON BACK LEFT BROKE. THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO ROCK SIGNIFICANTLY WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY DURING TURNS. MAIN SAFETY CONCERN IS THE THAT THE ISSUE CAUSES THE SEAT BELT TO FIT INCORRECTLY. IT IS EITHER BECOMING TOO LOOSE OR TOO TIGHT DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION OF THE SEAT ROCKING, THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND WAS TOLD IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE COST TO FIX IS $1,000.00. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET BUT WILL IN THE NEXT MONTH. *TR

MY DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE IN MY 2005 MURANO (68,000 MILES) IN THE SAME MANNER AS A NUMBER OF OTHERS DRIVERS HAVE INDICATED ALREADY. THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL FOR A TIME....VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! THE DRIVER SEAT WELD CAME LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE AND NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING AND GOING AROUND CORNERS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED IT WAS A $1000 PLUS FIX! HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY. DEALER AND EVEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WILL NOT COVER THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE. WILL BE CALLING NISSAN NEXT...BUT FROM THE LOOKS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT WILL BE A WASTE OF TIME SINCE I HAVEN'T HEARD OF NISSAN HELPING FIX ANYONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I'M AFRAID THAT UNTIL I GET THIS FIXED THAT THE ROCKING MOTION WILL BREAK THE LAST SUPPORT AND CAUSE THE ENTIRE SEAT TO BREAK LOOSE WHILE DRIVING. KNOW IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE....PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS!!!! *TR
