2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

SINCE LEASE OF VEHICLE IN JULY 2005, MANY PROBLEMS. MOST RECENT IS LACK OF ACCELERATION AT RANDOM TIMES. VEHICLE WAS FIXED AND IN LESS THAT A WEEK OF IT RETURNED TO ME, PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL CEASE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN OR OTHERS CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I AM AFRAID FOR MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AS WELL AS MY OWN WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED A NEW ENGINE WHEN IT WAS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A YEAR OLD, IT HAS HAD MANY OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH IT, HOWEVER THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY. *TR

NISSAN MURANO'05 SL. DRIVER SEAT TRACK BROKE. CAR IS 2.5 YEAR OLD AND 41,000 MILES. SEAT GOT BROKEN WHILE I WAS PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. $377 REPAIR AND PARTS. *TR

FAILURE OF FUEL TANK THAT HAD A SAFETY RECALL - AFTER INSTALLING THE GUARD ON TANK TANK STILL SPLIT OPEN CAUSING GAS TO GO ALL OVER THE ROAD WE COULD HAVE DIED. DEFECTIVE DESIGN WITH TANK ON BOTTOM OF VEHICLE DANGEROUS CLOSE TO ROAD. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, MY FRONT SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE PITTING ME TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. SEAT WAS LEANING TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2007 BROUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO TO THE NISSAN DEALER LOCATED IN MORRISTOWN, NJ (OPEN ROAD NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT). I WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE. IN ORDER TO FIX THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME OF THE VEHICLE, THE COST TO WOULD BE $900 PLUS DOLLARS. WHAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT - THIS SEAT MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR TO SERIOUS INJURY. WHY IS A SEAT FRAME BREAKING ON A VEHICLE WITH 48,500 MILES - NOT YET THREE YEARS OLD. I KEEP MY CARS FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS AND NO VEHICLE I EVER OWNED DID A SEAT JUST BREAK. SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED ON NISSAN MURANOS. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

STRANGE RUST AROUND RING OF GAS TANK. THE RUST IS IN THE AREA WHERE YOU PUT GAS INTO. NISSAN DOES NOT COVER THIS UNDER THE 5 YEAR RUST WARRANTY! *TR
