2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

I WAS MY DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT DROPPED ABOUT 3 INCHES AND ALMOST MADE ME DRIVE OFF THE ROAD. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID, SORRY BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT $1,000 TO FIX. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, I HEARD A SNAP AND MY SEAT COLLAPSED, SHIFTING TO THE LEFT. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INJURING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I AM BEING CHARGED $1000.00 TO REPAIR, WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN POSITION. THIS CAUSES IMPAIRMENT OF DRIVER LINE OF SIGHT. NISSAN CHARGES $500 FOR PART ALONE AND IS NOT DEALING WITH IT AS A SAFETY/WARRANTY ISSUE. *TR

BROKEN FRAME ASSEMBLY IN DRIVER'S SEAT FOR 2006 NISSAN MURANO. NORMAL WEAR & TEAR, NO SPECIFIC EVENT CAUSED THIS DAMAGE. THE SEAT ROCKS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SEAT BRACKET AND LIFT MOTOR ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THE REPAIR COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO BE $680. THIS IS NOT A WEARABLE PART THAT IS EVER SUPPOSED TO BREAK, AND WAS POORLY DESIGNED. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO: DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. FLOPS DOWN HALF WAY IMPEDING LINE OF SIGHT THROUGH WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART FREE OF CHARGE EVEN THOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND IS CHARGING $400 FOR THIS PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. A SPRING BROKE IN THE SUN VISOR, WHICH CAUSED THE VISOR TO REPEATEDLY FALL INTO HIS FACE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO DATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,423.

BOTH SCREWS HOLDING TAILGATE LATCH TO VEHICLE FRAME FAILED IN >20K MILES LEAVING TAILGATE SECURED BY > 1/4" OF PLASTIC INTERIOR TRIM WHICH IS SECURED BY 3 PLASTIC SNAP CONNECTORS. FAILED SCREWS WERE CONNECTED TO THREADED METAL BASE IN ENCLOSED BOX FRAME MEMBER. ONLY FIX WAS TO CUT BOX, RECOVER BASE AND RE-ATTACH SCREWS AND WELD COVER OVER CUT. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT RECENTLY STARTED TO ROCKING TOWARD THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WHICH ALERTED ME TO HAVING A PROBLEM. THE SUB RAIL THAT HOLD THE SEAT IN BROKEN. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET INTO THE CAR THE SEAT IS LEANING TO THE LEFT DOOR. I CONTACTED THE DEALER IN WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR, THEY SAID IT IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS UP. I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE NISSAN WHICH I HAVE ALSO DONE . *TR

DRIVING ALONG AND BACK LEFT OF DRIVERS SEAT SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN ABOUT 3-INCHES CAUSING ME TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I SUSPECT A BOLT HAS COME LOOSE OR MORE LIKELY FROM THE NUMEROUS POSTS I HAVE FOUND ONLINE A WELD HAS BROKEN. THIS IS REGARDING A 06 NISSAN MURANO. *TR

APPROX 8/2009 I HAD MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR REPLACED AFTER SUDDEN FAILURE TO REMAIN UPRIGHT. IT WOULD FLOP DOWN WHILE DRIVING TO BLOCK EXPECTED VIEW AND/OR STAY AT AN ANGLE THAT WOULD HAVE HIT ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FOREHEAD, BEING TALL, AS IS MY HUSBAND, SHOULD AN ACCIDENT CAUSE ANY FORWARD BODY MOVEMENT. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW JUST 1 DAY AGO THE PASSENGER SIDE ALSO DID THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. MY HUSBAND WAS THE PASSENGER AND HE KEPT SAYING "BOY I DON'T LIKE THIS WOULD CATCH ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FOREHEAD IF WE GOT HIT" IT WON'T STAY UP SO IT HAS TO ALWAYS STAY DOWN NOW WHICH RESTRICTS NIGHT TIME DRIVING. I "GOOGLED" MURANO VISOR COMPLAINTS AND THERE ARE MANY OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS!!! I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST YOU REVIEW THIS AS A BIG DANGER FOR VISUAL RESTRICTION DURING NIGHT OR SUDDEN UNEXPECTED LIMITS DURING DAY DRIVING UPON DROPPING DOWN AND POSSIBLE FACIAL INJURY UPON ANY IMPACT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR
