2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

YESTERDAY MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE AND THE SEAT IS ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB OF MANY, MANY MURANO OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN ISSUE, HOW CAN NISSAN NOT RECALL THIS? *TR

I OWN A 2005 MURANO AND WHILE DRIVING MY SEAT DROPPED AND SLAMMED OVER TO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THIS COMPLETELY CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AND CAUSED ME TO PULL INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE. THERE WERE NO CARS ON THE ROAD WITH ME AT THE TIME SO NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED. NOW MY SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT AND CONSTANTLY MOVES AS I TURN OR COME TO A STOP IT WOBBLES. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE LET ME KNOW THIS IS NOT A RECALL. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND NOT ONLY ON THIS WEBSITE BUT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT REPORT THIS EXACT PROBLEM. IF I GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE AWAITING FOR THE RECALL TO ACTUALLY GO IN TO AFFECT IT IS VERY POSSIBLE BEING MY SEAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO MY VEHICLE THAT I WILL BECOME PROJECTILE OR THE FORCE OF MY SEAT TO MY SEATBELT IS GOING TO CAUSE BROKEN COLLAR BONES AND FACIAL BONES. THIS IS A FLAW IN THE VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS ONE. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE WHEN ADJUSTING SEAT WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION, WHICH COULD CREATING A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER'S SEAT LIFTER LINK SLIDE ASSEMBLY BROKE. THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. *TR

THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS. IT JUST SNAPPED .DRIVERS FRONT SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN ON LEFT SIDE. WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT REPLACE THE PART WHICH COSTS OVER $700.00 FOR PARTS PLUS LABOR. AFTER CHECKING THE NISSAN USA BLOG, IT SEEMS THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION, THE REAR SEAT BRACKET SNAPPED, LEAVING THE SEAT SAGGING AND FLOPPING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. SERVICE ADVISOR SEEMED TO MINIMIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE DAMAGE. CLAIM HE WAS NOT AWARE OF SIMILAR INCIDENCES. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED A PATTERN OF THIS ISSUE WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS AGREED TO PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR, BUT CLAIMS THE DAMAGE IS OUTSIDE WARRANTY. CAR SEATS SHOULD NOT BREAK UNDER NORMAL USE, AND NISSAN NEEDS TO FORMALIZE A RECALL. THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION # PE05050. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT LIFTER ASSEMBLY BRACKET CRACKED IN HALF. SEAT IS NOW LOOSE. MANY OTHERS ON INTERNET FORUMS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2005 NISSAN MURANO. I FEEL IN THE LOVE WITH THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT. THE FRAME HAS BROKEN AND IS NOW LEANING TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I CAN ACTUALLY ROCK THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. UNFORTUNATELY, FOR OTHERS, I HAVE READ ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2005 MURANOS FROM OTHER OWNERS. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN OR BY RECALL SINCE IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE CAR. PLEASE REVIEW THIS COMPLAINT ALONG WITH THE MANY OTHERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN IN THE BACK LEFT SIDE. THE DEALER INSPECTED IT AND SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE IT ISN'T RECALLED AND I AM OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON LINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS QUOTED $1000 TO REPAIR. THAT SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS TO PAY WHEN IT IS A DEFECT IN THE PART THE USED. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO: I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT. IT ADJUSTS ITSELF RANDOMLY & MAKES CLICKING NOISES, WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT MAINLY SLIDES BACK TO THE FARTHEST POSITION, SO IT IS VERY HARD TO TOUCH THE BRAKE & ACCELERATOR PEDALS. THIS HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY OCCURRING FOR APPROX 7 DAYS. AS OF TODAY, THE BACK OF THE SEAT IS NOW RANDOMLY MOVING FORWARD WHILE I AM DRIVING, SO THAT IT IS IN EFFECT FOLDING ME IN HALF! THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS WAY TO DRIVE.. PREVIOUS TO THE SEAT RANDOMLY MOVING ON A REGULAR BASIS (SINCE THE PAST WEEK), THE SEAT FELT LIKE IT WAS TILTED SLIGHTLY TO ONE SIDE. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SEAT SOMETIMES WOULD SLIP OUT OF POSITION INTO ANOTHER POSITION. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 2 OR SO WEEKS BEFORE THE CLICKING NOISES & RANDOM REPOSITIONING STARTED HAPPENING. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO CHECK INTO THIS SEAT FAILURE AS I FEEL THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE SEAT MOVES BACK RANDOMLY WHEN I'M DRIVING & FOR A SHORTER PERSON THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS THEY MAY NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO TOUCH THE PEDALS IN ORDER TO PULL OVER. DOES THIS WARRANT A SAFETY RECALL?? *TR
