2006 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO FELT AS THOUGH THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT. THEN IT BECAME OBVIOUSLY LOOSE/WOBBLY, SO MUCH SO THAT IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE SEAT WILL FALL OVER GOING AROUND A TURN. I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A MECHANISM THAT HAD BROKE UNDER THE SEAT, THAT THE WHOLE THING WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND COULD COST AS MUCH AS $1,200! IT DOESN'T SEEM SAFE, YET I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY, AND NOW SEEING THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE W/ MURANO'S-CERTAINLY NISSAN WOULD HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS. I FIND DRIVING IT MYSELF IS GETTING MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF HOW WOBBLY THE SEAT IS-BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT. WHEN THE SEAT LEANS, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS PULLED TOO. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT MORE AND MORE. I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND A SEAT BRACKET UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT IN MY CAR HAS BROKEN. ALTHOUGH THIS SEAMS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY OVER $1000. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BRACKET GAVE WAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO. NO WARNING SINGS OR HINTS OF INSTABILITY WAS DISPLAYED BEFORE THE BREAK. "BRACKET" MEANING THE DEVICE THAT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE FRAME, MOUNTED TO THE CAR FLOOR. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND IT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE NISSAN MURANO THE DEALER IS DENYING THIS FACT. YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SIDE SEAT BACK CROSS BRACE BROKE, CAR ONLY HAS 46,800 MILES

THIS PAST WEEK I HAD TWO TRANSMISSION RUBBER LINES BREAK. ONE ON A TRIP UPSTATE NEAR THE DELAWARE WATER GAP. I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A NEW RUBBER LINE. THE OLD HOSE JUST BROKE OFF IN MY HANDS. WE DROVE HOME FINE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, THE OTHER HOSE BROKE OFF. THE CAR IS NOW GOING BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. TRANSMISSION FLUID IS FLAMMABLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND THE RUBBER LINES SHOULD NOT BREAK OFF LIKE THEY DID. *TR

BROKEN DRIVERS SEAT. SEAT IS VERY LOOSE AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL DETACH AT ANY MOMENT. LEANS SEVERELY TO THE LEFT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE MADE AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE. EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT FELT AS IF THE REAR OF IT WAS BEING STRUCK. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE FAILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 49,500.

I PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN MURANO IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. YESTERDAY I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR TO GO HOME FROM WORK AND WAS PLACING MY LAPTOP COMPUTER BAG IN THE BACKSEAT AND RESTED MY HAND ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE SEAT WAS NOTICEABLY UNSTABLE AND UNSECURED. I INVESTIGATED UNDER THE SEAT TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT HAD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRACK, IT HAD NOT, THE POWER SEAT STILL MOVES BACK AND FORTH. I DROVE IT HOME WITH MY SEAT UNLEVEL AND MY HUSBAND TOOK A LOOK AND DISCOVERED THE THIN METAL SUPPORT ROD HAD BROKE AT THE CONNECTION POINT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME ON A CAR EVER. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A MORE EXPENSIVE CAR WOULD MISS A STEP SO CRITICAL TO COMFORT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DOREL CHILD SEAT, MODEL 22-209 ABR (NA). THE SEAT WAS MANUFACTURED ON APRIL 16, 2006. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE CONNECTIONS ON THE SEAT WERE CORRODED. THE STRAPS WERE BECOMING UNGLUED AND UNSTABLE, WHICH WAS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. SHE ONLY HAD THE SEAT FOR ONE YEAR AND IT WAS ONLY USED APPROXIMATELY A DOZEN TIMES; THEREFORE, IT SHOULD NOT BE WORN. THE CONTACT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN HER ATTEMPT TO SPEAK WITH A DOREL REPRESENTATIVE. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN.
