2003 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

DRIVER'S SEAT HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE TRACK. WHEN YOU STOP THE SEAT MOVES FORWARD AND WHEN YOU START TO DRIVE IT MOVES BACK. IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE. HAS GOTTEN WORSE, I NOW HAVE 11000 MILES ON IT. AFRAID THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE FORCE WOULD FORCE IT TO BREAK. *JB

LOCKED OUT OF VEHICLE 5 TIMES WITH KEY IN IGNITION, 2 TIMES WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. DRIVER DOOR APPEARS TO LOCK SLIGHTLY WHEN PULLING DOOR HANDLE. I BELIEVE THE "PUSH-IN LOCK ABOVE THE DOOR RELEASE DOES NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY OR THE DRIVER'S HANDLE CAN EASILY PUSH IT PARTIALLY CLOSED ACCIDENTALLY. *JB

3 TIMES MY MURANO HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. ALL 3 TIMES IT HAS TO BE TOWED (OVER A 2 MONTH PERIOD APPROX. 4K MILES NOW, STARTED AT JUST OVER UNDER 3K). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, THE ENGINE WOULD AT LEAST TURN, BUT NOT START. THE LAST TIME IT WOULD NOT EVEN TURN. IT SEEMS TO BE TEMPORARY BECAUSE WHEN THE DEALER LOOSK AT THE NEXT DAY, IT STARTS AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN REAR WINDOWS ARE IN THE DOWN POSITION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES, CANNOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE ADMITTED THE VIOLENT SHAKING. VIBRATION FELT CAN BE COMPARED TO RUMBLE STRIPS ON INTERSTATE.*AK

PROBLEMS WITH RELEASE BUTTON ON SEAT BELT. THE REAR SEAT BELT TIGHTENED AND FAILED TO UNLOCK, WHICH CAUSED THE CHILD TO BE INJURED, THE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER FOR THE CHILD TO BE RELEASED. *MR *TS *JB

WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH VEHICLE WA SINVOLVED IN A CRASH, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

SUSPENSION ON TRUCK IS HORRIBLE. EVERYDAY THE TRUCK GETS WORSE. THE SUSPENSION IS VERY HARD AND STIFF, THE INTERIOR RATTLES AND MAKES NOW TONS OF NOISES,ONCE THE TRUCK HAS PASSENGERS IN IT THE VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROAD VERY VERY BOUNCY. VEHICLE LOOSE CONTROL.*AK

THE VEHICLE'S SEAT BELT WERE INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. *NLM

I JUST BOUGHT A 2003 NISSAN MURANO, RECENTLY I HAVE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. FIRST PROBLEM, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES AND THEN SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN TURNING ON THE ALARM. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES I WOULD DISABLE THE ALARM AND START THE CAR. THE CAR WILL NOT START IT DOESN'T EVEN TURNOVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED TO START FOR MY WIFE AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT? BY THE WAY, I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND IT IS STILL THERE.

THE ESTIMATED GAS MILEAGE WAS 20 MPG IN THE CITY AND 24 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. WE ARE AVERAGING 13 MPG IN THE CITY, IN CENTRAL IL, WHERE THE TERRAIN IS FLAT. SQUEAKY WINDOWS/MOLDINGS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 4 TIMES NOW TO HAVE THE SQUEAKES FIXED. *JB
