2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK RELIABLY. IT WILL WORK USING THE KEY MANUALLY. THE OTHER LOCKS APPEAR TO BE WORKING PROPERLY AT THIS TIME. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED BY CAR AND BELONGINGS TO BE UNSECURED AND POSES A SAFETY CONCERN.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS "INCIDENTS" REGARDING A CONTINULING PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR. THE MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE VISOR UPRIGHT AND IN AN ANGLE POSITION TO BLOCK THE SUN IS NOT WORKING AND REPEATEDLY DROPS AND DROOPS RATHER UNEXPECTEDLY TO THE POINT OF HINDERING MY ABILITY OF DRIVING SAFELY. NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VISOR DROPS AND BLOCKS MY VIEW SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TALKED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THERE IS NO RECALL INFOMATION AND I MUST REPLACE ON MY OWN EXPENSE REGARDLESS IF I HAVE A WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY SOLUTIONS OTHER THAN TO PAY OVER $500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FIND THIS OUTRAGEOUS AND DANDEROUS. AN ONLINE SEARCH YEILDS A LARGE NUMBER OF OTHER MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

2005 MURANO SL WITH 48900 MILES. FAILED DRIVER'S SEAT AS NOTED IN 207 OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. UPON GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE, THE LEFT BACK PORTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY POPPED AND TILTED TO THE LEFT. THERE IS A SEVERE ROCKING MOTION OF THE SEAT NOW AND TURNING RIGHT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH FORCE IN ORDER TO REMAIN UPRIGHT AND DRIVE APPROPRIATELY. CURRENTLY AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAVING THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. HAVEN'T YET GOTTEN WORD ON THE "COST" OF THIS REPAIR BUT FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSAN AS THIS IS A STRUCTURAL FAILURE THAT SHOULD NOT OCCUR. HAVING NO INJURIES REPORTED DOES NOT MEAN THIS COULDN'T HAPPEN SOON. IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE YOU MOST DEFINITELY COULD LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO, THE DRIVERS SEAT SUPPORT BAR BROKE UNDERNEATH THE SEAT.THIS IS THE TUBE THAT SUPPORTS THE SEAT IN THE FRONT. IT IS A NOT A HEAVY ENOUGH MATERIAL. THIS IS CAUSING THE SEAT TO BE LOP SIDED AND LOOSE. IT ALSO ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE WHICH I FEEL IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT WOULD COMPLETELY BREAK OFF THE MOUNTS AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY TO THE DRIVER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A LARGE MAJORITY OF NISSAN MURANOS. PLEASE GO TO NISSAN MURANO.ORG AND YOU WILL SEE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS A RECALL BEFORE SOME INNOCENT PERSON GETS KILLED BY NISSAN FOR USING A MATERIAL THAT IS NOT DURABLE ENOUGH. I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER BY TRADE AND REVIEWED THE STRESS CALCULATIONS FOR THE TYPE OF MATERIAL USED AND IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT TURNS INTO A BAD SITUATION FOR SOMEONE. *CN INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR STOPPED HOLDING ITS POSITION. AT FIRST WE COULD GET IT TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION; IT JUST WOULDN'T STAY SET IN MID POSITION...IT WAS EITHER ALL THE WAY UP OR ALL THE WAY DOWN. A FEW MONTHS AGO (NOW 80,000 MILES) THE VISOR SLIPS OUT OF THE UP POSITION AND GOES TO THE FULL DOWN POSITION WHEN GOING OVER A BIG BUMP OR AT OTHER RANDOM TIMES. THE MURANO DOESN'T HAVE MUCH HEAD CLEARANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE, SO THE DROPPED VISOR COMPLETELY OBSCURES VISION. FROM OTHER DISCUSSION PAGES ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

HI, MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO HAS A SUN VISOR THAT WILL NOT STAY UP. IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TWICE. A DEFECT VISOR COULD BLOCK DRIVER'S VIEW, OR IF THE VISOR IS REMOVED COMPLETELY AND SUN SHINES RIGHT INTO THE EYES OF THE DRIVER THAT COULD BLIND DRIVER FROM SEEING THE ROAD. REGARDS, *TR

SUN VISOR FAILURE 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE VISOR NO LONGER STAYS IN THE CLOSED / UPRIGHT POSITION. IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT FALLS IN THE 90DEG. (0DEG. FULLY CLOSED) POSITION HINDERING DRIVER'S FRONTWARD VISION. IT BEGAN TO ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS ABOUT 1 YR AGO. VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 5YRS OLD BUT, OVER THE BASIC WARRANTY MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY CLAIM. INITIALLY, VISOR WOULD DROP ABOUT 10-15 DEG. ENOUGH FOR IT TO DISTRACT THE DRIVER'S VISION. NOW, THE VISOR REQUIRES REMOVAL AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
