2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

2006 NISSAN MURANO - LEFT HAND (DRIVER'S SIDE) SUN VISOR FAILURE TO STAY FLUSH WITH ROOF. THE PART FALLS INTO THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER CREATING A SAFETY CONCERN. THE FAILURE OCCURS CONSTANTLY. TO CORRECT THE ISSUE A $404 PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED FROM NISSAN ($404 FOR A SUN VISOR WITH A LIGHTED VANITY MIRROR, SERIOUSLY???) NISSAN SHOULD TAKE ACTION AND RECALL THIS PART BASED ON HUNDREDS OF OCCURRENCES BEING DISCUSSED ON FORUMS. *TR

THE SEAT IN MY NISSAN MURANO WHILE I WAS TURNING THE SEAT JUST BROKE AND SENT ME SHIFTING AND MOVING TO THE LEFT. NOW MY SEAT ROCKS AND DOESN'T FEEL SECURE WHEN TURNING. IF THAT WAS TO BREAK DURING AN ACCIDENT IT COULD SEND THE PERSON TO FLY OUT. *TR

THE SUN VISORS ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, FAIL TO STAY IN PLACE. THEY CONTINUALLY FALL DOWN AND ARE IN THE LINE OF VISION OF THE DRIVER. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER IS MOMENTARILY BLINDED AT THE LEAST. IT ALSO CAUSES THE DRIVER TO JUMP AND MAY HAVE AN END RESULT OF A JERKED WHEEL. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT THE $400 ESTIMATE FOR EACH SHADE SEEMS FAR TOO STEEP TO PAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR NISSAN MURANOS OF ALL YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISORS HAD FAILED AND WERE OBSTRUCTING THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR AT THEIR EXPENSE HOWEVER, ADVISED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SUN VISOR WOULD BE THE CONTACT'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THE DEALER'S STATEMENT AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,000. UPDAETD 10/27/10. *LJ

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME SNAPPED COMPLETELY IN HALF. THIS IS THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE CAR AND SHOULD NOT BREAK WITH NO REASON. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. THE SEAT IS VERY LOOSE AND THEREFORE VERY UNSAFE. IT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE EXCESSIVE INJURY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED AS THERE IS NO SUPPORT TO KEEP THE SEAT FROM MOVING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME SNAPPED IN HALF. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE ACTUAL FRAME TO HAVE BROKEN. IT IS VERY LOOSE AND WOBBLY AND THEREFORE VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE EXCESSIVE INJURY AS A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS ON THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO, ON 5/29/10 MY GRANDMOTHER AND MYSELF GOT INTO THE VEH WHEN I TURNED THE VEH ON THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW NOTHING I GOT BACK IN AND CHECKED THE DASHBOARD TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND SAW NOTHING. AS WE WERE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE MY GRANDMOTHER STATED SHE FELT HEAT ON THE AREA OF THE ARMREST. I CAME INSIDE FOR NO MORE THAN 5 MINS AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE BETWEEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATS I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AS A RESULT OF THIS FIRE THE VEH WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE PICS OF THE AFTERMATH SHOWING THAT THE TRUNK HATCH MELTED AND THAT THE INTERIOR WAS NOTHING BUT THE FRAME. UP UNTIL 5/29/10 THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WHEN THERE IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE A GREEN WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN AND THE ONLY TIME THAT POPPED UP WAS WHEN THE TIRE ROTATION MAINTENANCE WAS DUE. THE ONLY MAINTENANCE THAT I HAVE HAD DONE ON THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASING ON 11/07/10 WAS AN OIL CHANGE, THE OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WAS FOR 4/17/10 FOR A TIRE ROTATION WHICH WAS NOT DONE BECAUSE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PUT DOWN FOR AN OIL CHANGE WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED, I HAD SCHEDULED THIS APPT ONLINE AND IT WAS ALSO CONFIRMED ONLINE WHAT I WAS COMING IN TO HAVE DONE. THE MECHANIC DID AN OIL CHANGE AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM I WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE HE TOLD ME THE 2 TIRES WOULD SOON NEED TO BE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE THEREFORE THERE WAS NO NEED TO ROTATE AN HE RESET THE MONITOR ON THE VEH. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE MGR OF NISSAN PASSPORT TO DISCUSS THE DAMAGES TO THE VEH AND HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO SPEAK WITH NISSAN ABOUT THE MANUFACTURING. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SPEAK WITH A CONSUMER AFFAIRS REP SINCE ABOUT 6/3/10, WHEN I CALL I AM PLACED ON HOLDAM PLACED OVER 20 MINUTES AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. NISSAN REP BRITTANNY EXT 47118 MY FILE # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL FALL DOWN TO COMPLETELY DOWN POSITION, COMPLETELY BLOCKING VIEW OF ROAD. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN VISOR IS IN THE COMPLETELY UP POSITION. A PREVIOUS OWNER HAS REPLACED THE VISOR FOR THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE. *TR
