2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SEAT "ROCKING" THIS LOOKS LIKE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I AM 130LBS!! THE SEAT IS BROKEN. I WAS DRIVING AND IT BROKE!! *TR

TURNED A CORNER AT NORMAL SPEED AND WAS ALMOST TOSSED OUT OF THE SEAT. THE SEAT LIFTED IN THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. NOT A PLEASANT OR SAFE FEELING TO HAVE YOUR SEAT FEEL LIKE IT IS FLYING OFF OF THE FLOOR. A CAR SEAT SHOULD REMAIN FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. EVEN IF THE SEAT ITSELF DOESN'T CAUSE ACCIDENTS FOR PEOPLE - THE FEELING YOU GET OF LOSING CONTROL COULD EASILY CAUSE A DRIVER TO STEER INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS SHOCKED TO READ ONLINE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE GENERAL LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT IT FROM NISSAN. THIS IS A DRIVER SAFETY ISSUE AND VERY ALARMING TO HAVE HAPPEN TO YOU WHILE TURNING ONTO A BUSY ROAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BECAME UNSTABLE WHILE DRIVING. IT SNAPPED BACK SEVERAL INCHES MID DRIVE AND NOW ROCKS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. I AM TOLD THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST UPWARDS OF $1000 AND IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND AM NOW CONCERNED THAT I AM UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DRIVER SEAT WOBBLE, LEFT AND RIGHT. HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR PAST 3 MONTHS. DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST $900 TO FIX. I CAN FEEL SOMETHING IS BROKEN UNDER THE SEAT. MY WIFE NEEDS TO ADJUST IT TO GO FORWARD, WE ARE ALWAYS AFRAID IF SEAT WILL COME LOOSE WHEN MOVING FORWARD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO S AWD (BOUGHT NEW IN JANUARY 2006) WHEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT SNAPPED TO THE REAR LEFT NEARING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE BECOME A MEMBER OF A LARGE GROUP THAT CAN EXPECT THE SEAT FRAME TO BREAK EVERY 2 TO 3 YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, BUT NOT AT MY EXPENSE OR LIFE. THIS SHOULD BE VIEWED AS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER FIX IS OVER $1000 SINCE THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE STEERING IN HIS VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE CONTACT HAD TO EXERT GREAT FORCE IN ORDER TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE STEERING WHEEL FROM LOCKING, BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS NEEDED TO BE PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER AND THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION. THE VIN WAS NOT ACCEPTED BY THE SYSTEM. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 42,000. UPDATED 09/11/09 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHEN THE TIRES WERE NOT PERFECTLY ALIGNED. UPDATED 09/15/09.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND PROCEEDING TO TURN LEFT, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO TILT TO THE LEFT WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND THE ADJUSTMENT ANCHOR BRACKET WAS DEEMED TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE REPAIR COST WAS ESTIMATED AT $1,000. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE DRIVER SEAT IF MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND SIDE TO SIDE. I FOUND THIS OUT BY MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A LIGHT AND MY SEAT JUST POPPED AND I LEANED INTO THE DOOR. NOW IT WIGGLES BACK AND FORTH EVEN WHEN NOT DRIVING IT. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO; HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE FAILED AT 36344 MILES. CAUSED TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AND FLUIDS TO LEAK FROM VEHICLE. DOZENS OF OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITE AND NISSAN BLOGS. NO RECALL TO DATE, HOWEVER THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM SINCE THE 2004 MODEL YEAR. VEHICLE IS DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, AND ON AVERAGE LESS THAN 20 MILES PER DAY/500 MILES PER WEEK. TO DATE, NISSAN, AND IT'S LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAVE REFUSED TO MAKE THIS REPAIR TO THE VEHICLE, AS IT WAS A MERE 344 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. ESTIMATED COST TO MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS IS $800 TO $1000. *TR

THERE WAS NO WARNING BUT ONE DAY THE DRIVER'S SEAT STOPPED MOVING ON THE LEFT SIDE. ESSENTIALLY, THE SEAT WOULD JUST HOOK TO THE LEFT WHENEVER I TRIED TO MOVE THE SEAT AND WHENEVER YOU STARTED THE CAR (SINCE THIS CAR HAS AN AUTOMATIC SEAT ADJUST FEATURE UPON STARTING AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND IT RESULTED IN NEEDING A NEW SEAT TRACK. UNLESS THE REPAIR IS MADE, WHICH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR, THE SEAT REMAINS IN A POSITION THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ME, THE MAIN DRIVER. ADDITIONALLY, I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT EVER MOVE THE SEAT CAUSING THIS DAMAGE TO IT. THE VEHICLE HAS A FEATURE THAT CAUSES THE SEAT TO MOVE EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU GET IN AND OUT OF IT, ON IT'S OWN. THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE SINCE I NEVER MANUALLY MOVE THE SEAT. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON WEBSITES SUCH AS NISSANMURANO.ORG. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN WILL NOT RECTIFY THIS ISSUE AND HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
