2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE POWER SEAT FOR THE DRIVER HAS A STRIPPED SCREW CAUSING THE WHOLE SEAT TO MOVE LEFT WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD. DEALER SAID WHOLE NEW SEAT ASSEMBLY IS NEEDED. *TR

ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO THE SUPPORT LINKAGE FOR THE POWER SEAT HAS BROKE . SEATS DO NOT BREAK IN ACCIDENTS AND THIS SEAT BROKE DURING NORMAL USE. SEATS IN CARS NEVER BECOME DISCONNECTED FORM THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT ON MY NISSAN MURANO 2005 IS TILTING OFF THE TRACK TO THE RIGHT. IT IS DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER CAN LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL OF THE DRIVER SEAT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS TO THE LEFT. WAS INFORMED BY JIM MILLS NISSAN THAT THE SEAT TRACK WAS BAD, $716 TO REPLACE. NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS WAS ON AUG.22, 2007. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN. NOW WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR FALLING DOWN WHILE YOUR DRIVING AND PASSENGER DOOR LOCK NOT SECURING ALL THE WAY. THE LOCK MECHANISM WILL GO PART OF THE WAY AND STOP. ALL OF THE ITEMS ABOVE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. YES, I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET FAILED AND THE SEAT IS UNSTABLE, LEANING TO THE LEFT. THE SEAT ACTUALLY MOVES WHILE YOU ARE SITTING IN IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, AND THE REPAIR COST IS IN EXCESS OF $1000. WHAT GUARANTEE IS THERE THAT THE REPLACEMENT SEAT WILL NOT FAIL AS WELL. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME WAS LOOSE AND TILTED TO THE LEFT. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING TO THIS MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FRAME WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP - IT FALLS AT THE LEAST BUMP AND BLOCKS MY VISION. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AT LEAST THE END OF APRIL. I WAS TOLD MY BLACKBURN MOTORS THAT IT WOULD COST ME $296.01 PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE THE VISOR. I HAVE HAD OLD BEATER CARS THAT HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER, NISSAN, SHOULD REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE VISORS AT THEIR COST, NOT MINE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, THAT IS A BAD MARK AGAINST NISSAN. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME SNAPPED IN TWO PLACES WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT EVEN IN MOTION. LAKELAND NISSAN DEALER FIRST SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER A TSB, BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO THEM THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 36,000 MI. EVEN THOUGH NO ONE MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY. LAKELAND NISSAN DEALER THEN QUOTED $997.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAT FRAME. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PUBLIC SAFETY RISK AND MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AT THE VERY LEAST A POOR DESIGN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE WEB AND FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO REVIEW THE INITIAL CRASH TEST RESULTS FROM NISSAN TO SEE HOW THIS ESCAPED DETECTION. (MAYBE IT DIDN'T) WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS WHY THERE IS NOT AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR INJURED OF IT BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT ACTS? A RECALL IS WARRANTED IN MY OPINION FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS ENDS MY CUSTOMER LOYALTY TO NISSAN. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE OR USE THEY'RE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. AGAIN. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH 68K MILES SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY ALMOST WRECKING INTO MY HOUSE. NO PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS OR DASH LIGHTS. TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG OR WHY, BUT REPAIR COST IS $5,500. NO OTHER OPTIONS GIVEN AS THEY DO NOT REPAIR - ONLY REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS. NO OTHER SHOP IS AUTHORIZED TO WORK ON THIS MODEL OF TRANSMISSIONS. SO I HAVE NO OPTIONS. *TR

SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM CAR, TOOK IN AND PAID $100+ FOR NISSAN TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CAR HAD 66,000 MILES ON IT WHICH WAS 6,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY. NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER TO REPLACE OR FIX THE TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD COST TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE $4,500.00. THIS HAPPENED IN MAY DID NOT GET A RESPONSE FROM NISSAN UNTIL JULY. *TR
