2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

2005 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. VISOR FALLS UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE MOMENTARILY BLINDED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO OFFER REPLACEMENT SPRING CLIPS TO KEEP THE VISOR OUT OF THE DRIVERS VISION. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO POWER LOCK PROBLEMS. 3 OUT OF THE 4 LOCKS HAVE FAILED. THEY ONLY WORK ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS FOR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A SNAPPING SOUND AND THEN THE LEFT SIDE OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO LEAN TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE SEAT WAS VERY LOOSE AND EACH TIME I WENT AROUND A CURVE OR CAME TO A STOP THE SEAT WOULD SHIFT DRAMATICALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MURANO. THEY HAVE EVEN PUBLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO THEIR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR DEPARTMENTS ON THIS MATTER. HOWEVER, THE PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY OF THE VEHICLE WARRANTIES AND THEY WANTED APPROX. $1200.00 IN PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE BROKEN PART, WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE A WELD IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME. I OPTED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY WELDED MY EXISTING SEAT FRAME BACK TOGETHER FOR A COST OF $100.00. I FEEL THAT IF NISSAN IS AWARE THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS OFTEN ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ALERT THEIR SERVICE DEPT. OF THE MATTER THAT THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR
