2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

I HAVE A 2005 MURANO WHICH JUST PASSED 35K IN MILEAGE, I ALSO HAVE THE GOLD-PREFERRED WARRANTY. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE SUNVISOR SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. IT NO LONGER STAYS IN THE "UP" POSITION. IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE VISOR IS DROPPING DOWN AND CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE HEARD THAT ALMOST EVERY THIRD NISSAN MURANO OF MY YEAR HAS THIS PROBLEM. I THINK IT IS CLEARLY A MECHANICAL FAILURE. THANKS IN ADVANCE. *TR

I SAT DOWN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT OF MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE FRAME SHEARED OFF. THE SEAT IS NOW TOTALLY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN UP POSITION. CAUSES POTENTIAL ISSUE OF BLOCKING DRIVER'S VISION WHEN IT SUDDENLY DROPS TO THE DOWN POSITION. *TR

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT NO LONGER OPERATES WITH THE POWERED SEAT ADJUSTMENTS, AND IS STUCK IN ONE POSITION. AT FIRST, IT WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT, BUT NOW IS STUCK IN ONE POSITION THAT IS NOT THE BEST POSITION FOR ME, CAUSING ME CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY ON THE ROAD. WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE COST WOULD BE @ $1000. AS I RESEARCHED ON-LINE, I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERY SAME THING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. *TR

I DRIVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. ONE DAY I WAS MAKING A 90 DEGREE RIGHT TURN WHEN I FELT THE DRIVER SEAT SNAP. AFTERWARD I COULD LEFT UP THE SEAT WITH MY HAND WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SECURED TO THE FLOOR. THE SEAT NOW LEANS TO THE RIGHT WHENEVER I MAKE A RIGHT TURN. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS ON SOME MESSAGE BOARDS I'VE HEARD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE NISSAN MURANO. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX, AROUND 1000 DOLLARS. *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY NISSAN MURANO IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN OKLAHOMA CITY. MY WIFE AND 5 YR OLD SON IN THE VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SHE WAS ALMOST RUN OVER. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. I THINK NISSAN HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR DEATH AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TICKING TIME BOMB IN THEIR MURANOS. SEEMS THE PROBLEM IS EXCLUSIVE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I'M LOOKING AT A $6400 REPAIR BILL BECAUSE IT IS 5000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE SIMPLY STOPS MOVING AND MUST BE TOWED. ALSO TOLD CANNOT FIX CVT, MUST BE REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW CVT, $6000. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY '05 NISSAN MURANO. IT IS LOOSE AND SHIFTS SIDE TO SIDE WHEN I TURN CORNERS. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE LIFTER LINK SLIDE ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $600. THERE IS A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) OUT ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT AND THEREFORE, OWN UP TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD HATE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN DURING A CRASH. PLEASE RECALL THIS ISSUE BEFORE ANYONE LOOSE THEIR LIVES. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. VISOR CONSTANTLY FALLS DOWN OBSCURING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF BLOGS AND FORUMS WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER MURANO OWNERS. NOW THE VISOR WILL NOT EVEN STAY UP. I HAD TO REMOVE IT. DEALERSHIP WANTS 400$ TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS VISOR. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A MECHANICAL FLAW INSIDE THE VISOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO WHOSE SUN VISORS DROP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY TO BLOCK THE DRIVERS VISION. I'VE CHECKED MANY ON-LINE FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN THE DEALER REFUSES TO CORRECT IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE COMPANY WEB SITE COMPLAINT FORM PROCESS DOESN'T REPLY. THIS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WHY WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR
