2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE IRON BRACKET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SEAT IF BROKEN. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE (NISSAN MURANO 2005) SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND MORE THAT JUST 2 YEARS OF USE. I HAVE FURTHER PROOF WHERE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO HAD PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED I DIDN'T HAVE IT, AND IT IS NOT COVERED. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I HAVE CONTACT AN ATTORNEY FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 90,000 MILES - REQUIRES TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR $6,400 DUE TO FAILED SENSOR IN TRANSMISSION. MANY OTHERS ARE REPORTING SAME FAILURE WITH THEIR 2003 AND NEWER MURANOS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. *TR

MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PUT ON THE GAS. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC TODAY AND ALMOST GOT CLOBBERED BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE MY CAR WAS STALLING AND HESITATING 5 TO 10 SECONDS AT AT TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. I AM PARKING THE CAR UNTIL I CAN TRADE IT IN. I AM 1000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT FOR LESS THAN 6,000 DOLLARS! RIDICULOUS! *TR

I HEARD ABOUT THE BREAKING OF THE DRIVER SEAT, IT JUST HAPPENED TO ME ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. FIRST THE SEAT WOULD BE LOSE LIKE EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT FOR SOME TIME, THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK. *TR I AM ABOUT 250 PONDS AND THAT DOSE NOT SEAM TO BE EXCESSIVE ENOUGH TO BREAK THE BACK BOTTOM CROSS BAR UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. (I'M SURE THIS IS A EXPENSIVE REPAIR) THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS UNSUSPECTING OF THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR READING.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE, WHICH STARTLED ME AND CAUSED ME AND THE SEAT TO LEAN BACK AND TO THE LEFT. THE SEAT SEEMS TO BE ANCHORED ON THE RIGHT, BUT IS LOOSE ON THE BACK LEFT, SO IT NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH - ESPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING. I READ ONLINE OF MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS BUT THERE DOES NOT YET SEEM TO BE A RECALL. THERE IS, HOWEVER, A NISSAN TSB OUT ON THIS SUBJECT, #05-043C. *CN

TRANSMISSION SEIZED UP WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 81 AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I HAD NO POWER. ENGINE WAS WORKING FINE, BUT, AS I FOUND OUT LATER, MY CVT TRANSMISSION HAVE SELF DESTRUCT, DUE TO A CODE SENT FROM THE TCM MODULE. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ANY WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND NOT BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAYI45 NORTH I WANTED TO MOVE MY SEAT BACK THAT WAS WHEN MY SEAT BROKE; I HIT MY HEAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TOOK IT THE DEALER AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SERVICE A LOT OF MURANOS FOR THAT SAME REASON. COST 995.00 PLUS TAX. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE FIRST TIME IT THE ENGINE FAILED WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I STARTED THE CAR AND IT SHUTTERED A LITTLE, THEN STOPPED. I RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER WAITING A FEW SECONDS AND IT KEPT RUNNING JUST FINE. ON MY WAY HOME, I STOPPED OFF AT A LOCAL STORE TO RUN AN ERRAND. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AGAIN, IT SHUTTERED AND SHOOK, THEN SHUT OFF. I ATTEMPTED A SECOND TIME TO START THE CAR, BUT IT WOULDN'T "TURN OVER". THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BROWNS NISSAN OF ARLINGTON IN VIRGINIA, WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR STARTED EITHER, PROCEEDED TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE, AND THEN MIRACULOUSLY, IT STARTED UP AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG! THIS MORNING, MY HUSBAND WENT TO START THE CAR FOR ME BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN. WE PLAN TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP, AS THEY HAVE PROMISED TO INCUR ANY TOWING COSTS IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO THE SHOP. REGARDLESS, WE ARE TAKING IT BACK, EVEN IF WE CAN GET IT TO START. *TR

11/27/07 PROBLEM: AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. (TWO OCCURRENCES) DIAGNOSTIC CONDUCTED 11/25/07 AND 11/27/07. AT THE FIRST SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND I WAS ASKED TO BRING VEHICLE IN 11/27/07 A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC WAS CONDUCTED. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC CODES THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH COSTS EXCEEDING $1000. THE SEATS, THUS FAR APPEAR TO BE IN TACK. WHAT DOES SEAT CUSHION HAVE TO DO WITH AIRBAG OR ITS SENSOR? THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN YEARS 2 YEARS NEW WITH APPROX. 51,000 MILES. CONCERNS: VEHICLE SAFETY AND PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. I WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS COMMON IN MURANOS AND PATHFINDERS. IF SO, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL W/O COSTS TO CONSUMER. AFTER REVIEWING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED BY OTHER CONSUMERS, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT SAFETY CONCERNS EXISTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISKS OF INJURY TO A PASSENGER. IN ADDITION, THE ACTUAL CAUSE AND FINAL REPAIR RESOLUTION REMAINS UNKNOWN AND UNRESOLVED. (SEE OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINT NO. 10208537) IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG INDICATOR FAILED AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE AS THE OTHER. WHO IS TO SAY THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT MALFUNCTION IN CASE OF ACCIDENT? (PLEASE ALSO SEE CONSUMER COMPLAINT NO 10199625 & C.C. NO. 10196794) *TR
