2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V169000 (ENGINE: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). FOLLOWING REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD CONFIRM THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ACCORDINGLY UPON FURTHER INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,950.

I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2006 THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET SUDDENLY BROKE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE SEAT TO LEAN TOWARD THE DOOR. EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE CAR IT FORCES TO SEAT BELT TO LOCK IN PLACE CAUSED BY THE SUDDEN MOVEMENT. ESTIMATE OF REPAIR $1060.00. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD DRIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN AND NOW "ROCKS". AUTO REPAIR STORE ESTIMATES COST TO REPAIR AT CLOSE TO $1000.00. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MURANO. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2006 NISSAN MURANO S AWD VIN # [XXX]. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE END OF MARCH 2010. I SCHEDULED MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT IN THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. PRIOR TO THE APPT, I NOTICED A MAJOR DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE 2 FUEL INSTRUMENT GAUGES. WHENEVER FUEL WOULD BE DOWN TO AROUND A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS, ONE OR BOTH OF THE GAUGES/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WOULD SHOW ANY WHERE FROM 1/2 A TANK OF FUEL TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE IN APRIL, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT, AND THAT MY AFTER MARKET WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM THAT DEALERSHIP, DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR NEEDED. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE/ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE 'FUEL SENDER'(FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT). I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR(S) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WITH PARTS AND LABOR, THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST WOULD BE $450. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM MYSELF, I FOUND THAT NISSAN IS HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE IN OTHER MODELS THE SAME MODEL YEAR, 2006. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND FOUND THAT NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE ARE BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME. I FEEL THAT GIVEN THE LARGE-SCALE RECALL (540,000 VEHICLES MOSTLY IN THE US) IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL OTHER MODELS, SAME YEAR, SAME PROBLEM, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MY MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I HAVE NOT AS OF YET RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE ROADWAY BUT THAT IS MAINLY DUE TO CONSTANTLY KEEPING THE TANK AT LEAST HALF FULL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AT MY EXPENSE IN HOPES THAT THE NHTSA WILL MAKE NISSAN EXTEND ITS RECALL, AS IT SHOULD. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IS LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. IT APPEARS THAT ONE OF THE BRACKETS BROKE UNDERNEATH. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND THEN NISSAN CORPORATE SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF MURANO OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A REALLY SAFETY CONCERN BUT I FEAR THAT NISSAN WILL ONLY DO SOMETHING ONCE SOMEONE DIES FROM IT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO WON'T STAY UP ANYMORE. LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT JUST DROPS DOWN. ON OCCASION, IT WILL STAY FOR A SHORT WHILE, ONLY TO DROP INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT WHILE DRIVING!! DEFINITELY SAFETY HAZARD THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

THE SUN VISOR CONTINUES TO FALL INTO THE DRIVERS LINE OF VISION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VISOR FALLS ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM THE DRIVER AND WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN AND BLOCKS DRIVER'S VISION. DEALERSHIP DENIES THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND CHARGES $400 FOR REPAIR. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN AND BLOCKS YOUR VISION,I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT CAN SEE THE POSSIBILITY! CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENY ANY PROBLEMS,CHECKED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH SAME PROBLEM.....NOTE-DEALERSHIP WANTS $400= TO REPLACE A FAULTY SUN VISOR. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY IN PLACE, CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. ONCE BACK IN PLACE, THE VISOR WILL DROP DOWN ON ITS OWN. I HAVE HAD TO USE A BUNGEE CORD THAT GOES FROM THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR ACROSS THE VISOR TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE CEILING HANDLE. *TR
