I bought the car not knowing that the seat bracket driver side was already broken the dealership would not do anything I looked into this and there are several thousands of other complaints on the same safety issue I'm only a hundred and fifteen pounds and I'm bouncing all over the place and I'm terrified I don't have the extra 2,000 $3,000 is going to cost to replace and this is a major thing it has happened several times this needs to be recalled now

The drivers seat frame is broken at the right rear lift arm. The seat frame is electrically adjustable. The seat wobbles causing the driver to move around at random. Loss of control of vehicle is possible as seat moves left and right as vehicle is being driven. As this just occurred within the past 24 hours it has not been inspected by anyone other than myself.

DRIVER SEAT WOBBLES AROUND, SEEMS TO BE BROKEN. HAPPENED WITH REGULAR USE. SAFETY ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO HAPPEN WITH MANY OTHER 05 MURANOS AND POSSIBLY OTHER YEAR MODELS. ONGOING.
Oct 21, 2020
GOT INTO THE VEHICAL. WHILE ADJUSTING THE SEAT AND LEANING BACK, THE SEAT SLUMPED BACK AND TO THE LEFT. IT WOBBLES NOW. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE SEAT IS NOT SOLID AND SHIFTS AROUND AS I DRIVE. MY WIFE IS DISABLED AND I AM A DISABLED MARINE COMBAT VETERAN. WE CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE OR TO REPLACE WITH A NEW SEAT. MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISORS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
Oct 02, 2014
THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT STAY IN THE UPWARD OR "NOT IN USE" POSITION. I CAN BE DRIVING AND IT WILL FALL DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. IN THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY MY CAR BUT AFTER RESEARCHING AND TALKING WITH DEALERSHIP IT IS A COMMON MALFUNCTION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE AWARE BUT THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED BY RECALL BECAUSE NISSAN HAS NOT GIVEN THEM THE "OKAY." IN ORDER TO FIX PROBLEM A NEW VISOR WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED WITH VISOR PART ALONE COSTING $200+. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO PULL OVER THE EXTENSION VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO HOLD UP THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WILL STILL FALL DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES BLOCKING MY VISION AND AT TIMES AT VERY CRUCIAL MOMENTS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT PRODUCT INSTALLED BY NISSAN. IN THE BEGINNING I TRIED TO GET NISSAN TO FIX BUT TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE NOW BUT WAS NOT AWARE OF YOUR WEBSITE, WHICH I BELIEVE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS SHOULD HAVE FILED WITH NISSAN, AND MAY HAVE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I HOPE YOUR COMPANY CAN HELP GET THIS RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DRIVING A MURANO WITH THIS DEFECT GETS INJURED OR CAUSES INJURY TO OTHER MOTORIST. *TR

ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED NEW IN 2005. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UP POSITION AND MUST BE HELD IN PLACE BY OTHER MEANS .(I AM CURRENTLY USING A BUNGEE CORD THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE VISOR CLIP AND RAN ACROSS TO THE DRIVERS SIDE ROOF HANDLE ABOVE WINDOW TO HOLD THE VISOR UP SO THAT I HAVE ADEQUATE VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD). WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REPOSITION THE VISOR IN THE UP AND LOCK POSITION I HEARD A POPPING SOUND. AFTER THAT, THE VISOR HAS FAILED TO STAY LOCKED IN THE UP AND FLAT POSITION, KEEPING IT FLUSH AGAINST THE INTERIOR ROOF. IF NOT USING ANOTHER MEANS TO KEEP THE VISOR UP, IT WILL REMAIN IN THE DOWN POSITION AND BLOCKS DRIVERS VIEW. DOES NOT HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO REMAIN AT AN ANGLE TO BLOCK SUN, ONLY HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. *TR

ALL DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION WITH THE FOB OR THE INTERNAL DOOR LOCK BUTTON. MUST MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK ALL DOORS. CONDITION WORSENS IN WARM WEATHER.THIS IS A SERIOS SAFETY HAZARD - I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. NISSAN WON'T EVEN ESCALATE MY CONCERN UNTIL I PAY TO HAVE ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT IT, BUT I KNOW FROM READING OTHER POSTS THAT ONCE I DO THEY WILL STILL REFUSE TO FIX IT. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. $173K MILES. WILL COST $4K TO REPLACE. ALL TRANSMISSION FLUIDS IN GOOD ORDER AND GOOD LEVELS. LARGE NOCKING ON THE CASE, DEALER SAYS COULD GO OUT ANY MOMENT. UNABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. RIDICULOUS AND UNSAFE. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT GO OUT LIKE THIS.
Sep 13, 2016
JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2016 THINKING IT WOULD BE A GOOD USED CAR. I WAS WRONG IT HAS 155,000 MILES ON IT. TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WAS STOP AT STOPLIGHT WENT TO TAKE OFF AND IT STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY MOVE IT FORM THE ROAD AND IT WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 5 MPH, SO I TURNED IT OFF THEN BACK ON IT STARTED TO DRIVE FINE I DIDN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES HAD IT TOWED TO A FRIENDS REPAIR SHOP WERE CHECKED THE CODES AND IT WAS ALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A HUGE WRECK AS THE ROAD I WAS ON IS EXTREMELY BUSY. THIS VERY UNSAFE FOR NISSAN NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT.
Apr 09, 2016
DRIVING DOWN HWY AND CAR STARTED JUMPING, WHINNING AND THEN CAR LOCKED UP.I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON SIDE OF HWY.I SMELLED SMOKE AND GOT OUT.CALLED WRECKER .THEY TOWED TO SHOP.. I NOW HAVE A CAR PAYMENT BUT NO CAR.ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR 4,000.00 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION.

ON 4/28/2005 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T GET UP PAST 10 MPH. I LOOKED UP ONLINE AT NISSAN.COM AND FOUND OUT THERE MAY BE A WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR CVT. I BROUGHT IT IN, AND THEY VERIFIED IT AND REPLACED IT. 3 DAYS LATER MY CVT STARTED TO GIVE ME SIMILAR ISSUES AGAIN. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THEY MAY RE WORK ON IT. NOW I GET IT BACK AND RIDE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER 2 DAYS AND NOW I HEAR A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. NOW I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO KINGS NISSAN IN BROOKLYN NY. THIS TIME THEY TELL ME IT WAS A MESSED UP TCU COMPUTER ON THE REPLACED CVT, AND NOW A TRANSFER CASE. UPON FURTHER REVIEW ONLINE. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE LIKE MY SELF GOING THROUGH THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN WONT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT.

BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE LOCKS TO THE POINT THE REAR HATCH LOCKS AND WON'T UNLOCK, NOT ALL DOORS LOCK OR UNLOCK ANYMORE. TOOK TO OUR MECHANIC AND WHEN HE REPLACED THE SWITCH IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAID THIS IS AN ISSUE FROM NISSAN DIRECTLY WITH THE ACTUATORS. *TR
Sep 30, 2014
WE HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO THAT HAS HAD THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL REPEATEDLY SINCE WE'VE OWNED THE CAR. WHEN THE LOCKS FAIL, THE DOORS AND REAR HATCH CAN NOT BE OPENED OR LOCKED WITH EITHER THE REMOTE FOB OR THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS ON THE DOORS. THEY NEED TO BE OPENED MANUALLY BY RELEASING THE LOCKING LEVER BY HAND. OFTEN WHEN THEY FAIL THE REAR HATCH CAN NOT BE OPENED BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A MANUAL RELEASE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS STYLE OF DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS DEEMED THE REPAIR OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND EVER SINCE. THE INDIVIDUAL ACTUATOR FOR EACH DOOR APPROACHES $500 IN COST. THEY'VE ADVISED TO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BUY A NEW VEHICLE WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF INTERNET COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. GENERAL MOTORS IGNORED THEIR PROBLEMS FOR YEARS AND NISSAN IS EFFECTIVELY IGNORING THIS PROBLEM. THE DESIGN OF THE LOCK ACTUATOR ITSELF IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A BETTER DESIGNED COMPONENT. *TR
Aug 19, 2014
PASSENGER DOOR, PASSENGER-SIDE REAR DOOR, DRIVER-SIDE REAR DOOR AND TRUNK DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WHILE PRESSING THE KEY FOB TWICE. MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE DOORS BY USING THE KEYHOLE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVER DOOR DOES NOT SOLVE THE ABOVE PROBLEM. MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE DOORS BY USING THE DRIVER / PASSENGER SIDE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE ARMREST DOES NOT SOLVE THE ABOVE PROBLEM. TRUNK DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE MEANS DUE TO ABSENCE OF MANUAL LOCK/UNLOCK LEVER ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE DOOR. *JS
Jul 29, 2014
FIRST MY DRIVER DOOR LOCK WOULD WORK AND THEN IT WOULDN'T. NEXT THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE LIFT GATE LOCK AND NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL SO I HAD A REPAIR SHOP REPLACE THE HATCH LOCK AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. *TR
Sep 28, 2013
ALL PASSENGER DOORS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK EITHER USING THE FOB OR THE DRIVER POWER LOCK CONTROLLER, THE HATCH IS NOW LOCKING INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY/SECURITY ISSUE ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE HATCH IS HAVING PROBLEMS. THIS ISSUE STARTED IN 2011, WHICH I HAD THE DRIVERS DOOR FIXED, THEN STARTING IN 2012 THE PASSENGER DOORS STARTED HAVING ISSUES, NOW IN 2013 THE REMAINING PASSENGER DOOR AND HATCHBACK!! THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED!

TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS WARMER WEATHER OUTSIDE - ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY (UNLOCK OR LOCK) WITH KEYFOB. LIFE GATE WILL ALSO NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK CORRECTLY UNLESS PASSENGER SIDE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. SAFETY CONCERN. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW BUT JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSITE.

2005 MURANO PURCHASED 6 YRS AGO HAS 67,000 MI ON IT. HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY BUT HAS STARTED BURNING OIL. HAVE KEPT UP ON REGULAR MAINTENANCE BUT WAS LAX THIS TIME. CAR WENT 5,000 MI BEFORE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH SMOKE FROM EXHAUST AND PINGING NOISE. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL WAS 3 1/2 QTS LOW. MY MECHANIC THINKS I MIGHT NEED TO REBUILD THE ENGINE OR BUY NEW. HE WILL CHECK IT IN A WEEK TO SEE IF IT'S STILL BURNING OIL. HE CHANGED THE OIL AND WANTS TO MONITOR IT BEFORE WE MAKE THE DECISION TO DO ADDITIONAL WORK. I NEVER HAD ANY INDICATION THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL. MY FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING IT BUT WOULD THINK I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN INDICATOR LIGHT. ANYONE ELSE BURNING THRU OIL LIKE THIS?
Nov 22, 2019
REAR HATCH DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK. I TOOK THEM CAR TO THE SELLING AGENCY AND WAS CHARGED APPROXIMATELY 500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE LOCK. IT WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AND THE PROBLEM AROSE AGAIN. THEY AGENCY STATED THAT THEY HAD TO CHARGE ME AN ADDITIONAL 120 DOLLARS JUST TO CHECK OUT THEIR PROBLEM. I DIDN'T PURSUE THE FIX BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY INSPECTION FEE WAS UNWARRANTED. THEY SITUATION REMAINS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS DISTRACTS THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SEE AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT WILL DIRECTLY RESULT IN ACCIDENTS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE AND AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY MURANO OWNERS.

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO DOES NOT STAY UP AND IS CAUSING A DRIVING HAZARD. I HAVE IT HELD WITH VELCRO RIGHT NOW, BUT IT DOES NOT WORD WELL AND WHILE DRIVING WILL FALL AND BLOCK THE ENTIRE FRONT VIEW. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

Oct 12, 2014
MY SUN VISORS, BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE & PASSENGER SIDE, WILL NOT STAY UP. THE DEALER HAS REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE THREE TIMES NOW & THE PASSENGER SIDE 4 TIMES AND IT WORKS FOR AWHILE BUT THEN THEY FALL DOWN AGAIN. THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR IS A REAL HAZARD AS YOU CAN IMAGINE! I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE. I LOGGED ONTO A MURANO FORUM AND FOUND OUT IT IS HAPPENING A LOT WITH OTHER OWNERS AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM SAY IT IS NOT THE VISOR ITSELF BUT THE CLIPS THEY FIT INTO. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE REALIZED HOW MANY TIMES THEY WERE REPLACING THEM AND INVESTIGATED IT FURTHER FOR A PERMANENT FIX. *TR

COOLANT WAS LEAKING ON DRIVEWAY, FOUND THAT THE TENSIONER BRACKET IS CRACKED AND IS RUBBING UP AGAINST A COOLANT HOSE, CAUSING A BREACH IN HOSE AND LEAKAGE.

STEERING

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2013. POWER STEERING LEAKAGE. 3 MECHANICS CHECKED CAR COULDN'T FIND LEAK. I ENDED UP CARRYING FLUID WITH ME CAUSE I NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WOULD GO OUT. THE 4TH MECHANIC CHANGED THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. HE HAS NOW FOUND THAT THE CARE LEAKS WHEN NOT IN MOTION. A POWER STEERING RACK HAS BEEN ORDERED

AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE AS AN OUT OF BALANCE CONDITION. I HAD THE TIRES RE-BALANCED AND COULD NOT RESOLVE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. DID NOT DO ANY HIGHWAY DRIVING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. PRIOR TO GOING ON VACATION I HAD TIRES RE-BALANCED, DURING THE HIGHWAY DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WAS AGAIN VISIBLE AND COULD ALSO BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS REPLACED WITH NO RESOLVE OF THE SHAKING STEERING WHEEL. TIRE DEALER REPLACED TIRES AT A COST TO ME OF $400.00. BACK TO CAR DEALERSHIP, REPLACED TIRE ROD END THAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM ON THE DRIVE HOME STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MPH. BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHO HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS TEST DRIVE THE CAR AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SHAKING, THEY MUST HAVE HELD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A GORILLA GRIP. I HAVE A SHORT VIDEO OF THIS SHAKING STEERING WHEEL. WIFE AND I WENT TO TEST DRIVE A NEWER USED 2009 NISSAN MURANO WITH THE SAME APPROXIMATE MILEAGE, MY CAR NOW AT 88,000, SAME VISIBLE SHAKING IF NOT WORSE. SOLVED PROBLEM BY TRADING IN THE CAR. NOW MAYBE THE DEALERSHIP WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT MINE. *JB

HIGH SIDE POWER STEERING HOSE ON NISSAN MURANO. 2003-2007 THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. A FACTORY RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE HIGH SIDE POWER STEERING FLUID LINE ON THE NISSAN MURANO. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN MURANO FROM MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET. THE DEXTRON FLUID IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD CHILD AND NISSANS CONCERN SHOULD BE ABOUT PEOPLES SAFETY AND NOT MONEY! I WAS ALSO INFORMED FROM A FEW NISSAN DEALERS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MURANOS. *TR

HI JUST DISCOVERED MY 2005 MURANO HAS TOTAL RUST ON SUBFRAME TO THE POINT CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ARE THERE ANY RECALLS FOR REPAIRS OR THIS OCCURRING FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY MECHANIC FRIEND SOMETHING BAD COULD HAVE HAPPENED OR I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON DRY PAVEMENT AND WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS NOTICE CAR SHIFTING QUITE A BIT TO THE POINT OF ALMOST LOSING CONTROL. WHEN I PARKED MY CAR NOTICED ONE OF MY REAR TIRES WAS SLANTED INWARD. MY MECHANIC SAW IT AND SAID NOT TO DRIVE IT.

REAR DOORS AND REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN WHEN USING REMOTE KEY FOB. NISSAN SAY YOU HAVE TO REPLACE RIGHT FRONT, LEFT AND RIGHT REAR DOOR ACTUATORS FOR ABOUT $1500.

THE LIFTGATE WON'T LATCH WHEN CLOSED, THEREFORE THE TAILGATE IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED WHEN SHUT. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE BEFORE AND IT WORKED FOR A TIME, BUT HAS NOW REOCCURED.

I (FEMALE) LOADED MY TRUNK TO EMPTY MY CLASSROOM FOR THE SUMMER. I FILLED MY TRUNK WITH HEAVY BOXES THAT NEEDED TO BE MOVED. ONCE I GOT TO WHERE I WAS GOING MY TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO LAY THE SEATS DOWN AND PULL EVERYTHING OUT THAT WAY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I HAD SMALL CHILDREN AT THE GROCERY AND THEY HAD TO STAND BESIDE THE CAR B/C THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN FOR ME TO LOAD IT. ALSO MY DRIVER DOOR WILL ONLY LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH A KEY NOT THE REMOTE. I GO TO THE PLACES ALONE OR WITH ONLY SMALL CHILDREN QUITE A BIT AND DO NOT FEEL THIS IS SAFE. THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE ALL OVER THE US WITH PROBLEMS ON THEIR MURANOS AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES DEALING WITH THE LOCKS. SOME EVEN ARE UNABLE TO GET THEIR GAS DOOR TO OPEN!! NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS IS A PROBLEM. FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE DRIVING A NISSAN, THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. IT WOULD BE VERY DISTURBING TO BE APPROACHED BY A STRANGER IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY BECAUSE THE DOOR WON'T OPEN OR TO BE UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN YOUR VEHICLE B/C THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN ALSO COMES INTO PLAY WHEN A DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. *TR

MY VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE ON 11/9/2010 APPROXIMATELY AROUND 6:00 PM. AS I WAS DRIVING MY MURANO NISSAN ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO GO HOME AFTER WORK, I HEARD A HARD SNAP AND FELT A LITTLE JERK TOWARDS MY LEFT SIDE. UNSURE OF WHAT IT WAS, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD. AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, I FELT A ROUGH THUMPING UNDERNEATH MY SEAT. I THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE THAT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS GOING FLAT OR HAD SOME KIND OF PROBLEM. AS I DROVE FURTHER, I FELT MY FRONT SEAT SWAY BACK AND FORTH, AS I ACCELERATED AND AS I WAS BRAKING. I ACCELERATED AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SWAYING MOTION WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. AGAIN, THE SWAYING MOTION (BACK AND FORTH) OF THE FRONT SEAT OCCURRED. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CHECKED THE SEAT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS BROKEN COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM THE TRACK AND MOVES FREELY. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN TULSA TO HAVE IT CHECKED TODAY, AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED A NEW FRAME FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT, AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1275.00 INSTALLED. I HAVE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH ONLINE TO DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A DEFECT FOR THE NISSAN MURANO FOR THE YEARS THAT INCLUDE THE 2005. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE RODE WITH THE SEAT ABLE TO MOVE SO FREELY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE AT WELL, AND THEN I'LL END UP LAYING ON MY BACK IN THE BACK SEAT WHILE I'M TRYING TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO THAT I BOUGHT USED FROM CARMAX IN 2007. I HAVE HAD REGULAR SERVICE PERFORMED BY AN ASCE CERTIFIED MECHANIC SINCE THEN. ON 5/18/10 AT LESS THAN 45K MI, THE BASE OF MY DRIVER SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE ONE MORNING WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR (PARKED IN MY GARAGE). I WEIGH <120 LBS AND WAS STUNNED. IT WAS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY, SO I HAD IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY (5/20) THROUGH MY REGULAR MECHANIC. TOTAL COST WAS $942.66 ($742.08 FOR THE PART & $127.50 FOR LABOR). I WAS EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT BEING FORCED TO PAY SO MUCH FOR SOMETHING BEYOND MY CONTROL. EVERYONE AGREED THAT IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, EVEN MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED IT WAS CLASSIFIED AS A MECHANICAL DEFECT, CHECKED RECALLS (NONE), AND SUGGESTED I CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS SPECIFICALLY TO REQUEST GOODWILL ASSISTANCE (COMPENSATION FOR REPAIRS). THEY SAID SINCE I HAD THE REPAIR DONE AT AN ASCE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, THE REQUEST SHOULD BE FINE. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TOOK MY INFO & AND ESTABLISHED A CASE #6838133 ON 6/9/10. I WAS ASSURED I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY A REGIONAL SPECIALIST W/N 24 HOURS. WHEN I DID NOT RECEIVE A RETURN CALL, I PLACED 5 MORE CALLS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. ALL ASSURED ME THEY WERE URGENTLY REQUESTING THE REGIONAL SPECIALIST/SUPERVISOR TO CONTACT ME. I RE-CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT THAT POINT, WHO THEN ATTEMPTED TO CALL ON MY BEHALF AND SEEK ASSISTANCE THROUGH THEIR AREA REPRESENTATIVE. AFTER THE 7TH CALL, MS. JIMENEZ (RUDE) CALLED BACK TO EXPLAIN THAT NISSAN'S POLICY DOESN'T ALLOW COMPENSATION FOR REPAIRS NOT HANDLED BY NISSAN, EVEN THOUGH NISSAN EMPLOYEES TOLD ME DIFFERENTLY AND WERE CALLING ON MY BEHALF. I WANT COMPENSATION FOR THE $942.66 I PAID FOR A MANUFACTURER'S MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN-SEAT BASE SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN- WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME/MY PASSENGERS. CA DCA FOUND SIMILAR 2008 COMPLAINT THRU NHTSA DISMISSED B/C NO ONE HURT BADLY ENOUGH?!!? *TR

NISSAN MURANO VIN-[XXX] - DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT REAR FRAME DEFECT MY VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE REAR SEAT FRAME BROKE ON 06/19/2010 APPROXIMATELY AROUND NOONTIME. AS I WAS DRIVING MY MURANO NISSAN AND CAME TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT, I HEARD A HARD SNAP AND FELT A LITTLE JERK TOWARDS MY LEFT SIDE. UNSURE OF WHAT IT WAS, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD. AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, I FELT A ROUGH THUMPING UNDERNEATH MY SEAT. I THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE THAT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS GOING FLAT OR HAD SOME KIND OF PROBLEM. AS I DROVE FURTHER TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER TO CHECK IT, I FELT MY FRONT SEAT SWAY BACK AND FORTH, AS I ACCELERATED AND AS I WAS BRAKING. I ACCELERATED AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SWAYING MOTION WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. AGAIN, THE SWAYING MOTION (BACK AND FORTH) OF THE FRONT SEAT OCCURRED. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE REAR SEAT AND SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A BLACK METAL TRACK FRAME SUPPORTING THE SEAT. IN THE AREA TOWARDS THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE FRAME WAS ONE OF FOUR METAL PRONGS THAT WERE BROKEN AWAY FROM THE METAL TRACK FRAME OF THE SEAT. KNOWING THAT THIS WAS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE, I LOOKED FOR HELP TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. USING THE INTERNET, I FOUND NUMEROUS SHOCKING COMPLAINTS SITES REGARDING NISSAN MURANOS' REAR SEAT BREAKAGE. I CONTACTED A LOCAL NEWS STATION (3ONYOURSIDE), WHO INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE AND FOUND IT TO BE LEGITIMATE AND TRUE. NOT ONLY WAS MY VEHICLE IN QUESTION ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE PART, SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS WERE FOUND THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FRONT SEAT BROKEN ON DRIVER'S SIDE. THE FRONT SEAT DRIVER FRAME HAS BROKEN IN 2 PLACES MAKING THE SEAT A SAFETY HAZARD. MY WIFE AND I ARE THE ONLY DRIVERS OF OUR 2005 MURANO SE. IT HAS 6 WAY ELECTRIC SEATS. NOW WE HAVE TO LOWER THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STABILIZE THE SEAT. OTHERWISE THE SEAT ASSEMBLY & FRAME WILL END UP BREAKING COMPLETELY OFF AT THE FRAME. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS HE'S NEVER SEEN A SEAT FRAME BREAK AT 2 PLACES LIKE OURS. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED NISSAN AS OF YET TO SEE IF THIS IS UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT BUT YOU WOULD THINK THE SEAT ASSEMBLY WOULD LAST FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. I WEIGH 230 POUNDS AND MY WIFE WEIGHS APPROX. 185 NO ONE HAS EVER DRIVEN OUR VEHICLE BUT US OTHER THAN GARAGE REPAIRMEN. I FOUND A WEB SITE THAT HAS A DETAILED DRAWING OF THE SEAT AND MECHANISM THAT IS BROKEN. THE WEB SITE IS WWW.NISSANPARTSWAREHOUSE.COM THEN GO TO "SEATS AND TRACKS" THEN "TRACKS AND COMPONENTS" THEN "CONNECTOR ROD ADJUSTER" CLICK ON "VIEW ILLUSTRATION" AND IT IS PART #1 IN THE DRAWING. THIS PART BOLTS DIRECTLY ONTO THE VEHICLE FRAME CHASSIS. THE PART IS BROKEN AT 2 PLACES ON THE FRONT CONNECTION. THE BREAKS ARE WHERE THE ROD CONNECTS TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES OF THIS PART. I CAN SEND YOU A DIAGRAM IF YOU WILL SEND ME AN E-MAIL WHERE I CAN ATTACH THIS DIAGRAM. HERE'S THE COMPLETE WEB SITE ADDRESS BELOW.

Noticed severe negative camber on the rear wheels at ~225k miles. Marks Auto Svc, Rockford, IL confirmed the rear k-subframe had rusted all the way through from the inside-out. The frame had completely separated at two places on each side near the wheels - SEVERE SAFETEY HAZARD!!!!! 1. Website forums indicate many consumers conclude this problem is due to inferior design (hole in frame allows water to condensate/pool & rust the frame from the inside-out). 2. I conclude this part failed prior to the standard benchmark-life of automotive parts of 20-years. 3. A similar subframe design used on the 2002-05 Atimas & Maximas - produced a SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN - Ref. NTB05-114c.

Sub frame rusted so bad the sway bar detached from the sub frame nearly causing an accident and breaking the sway bar link in half.

THE REAR SUB FRAME IS RUSTED OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SUB FRAME RUSTING OUT ON THESE MURANO MODELS AND MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHY WAS THIS ISSUE NEVER ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL WHEN THE SUB FRAME IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE WITH RUSTING OUT. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT MINE....

I TOO OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS MORE MILEAGE THAN THE EARLIER ENTRY, I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE IN THESE CARS. OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED MANY NISSAN MURANO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT MADE AWARE THAT THEY NEED TO REPORT THESE ISSUES SO THEY JUST SPEND HUNDREDS ON REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I AM SURE NISSAN HAS AN INVENTORY OF HOW MANY THEY HAVE REPAIRED AND CHARGED CUSTOMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER AS THIS IS PART OF THE SUSPENSION. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO LOCK AND UNLOCK. I HAVE A 2005 MURANO AND THE DOOR LOCKS RECENTLY HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE LOCK WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE OR WITH THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON ON DRIVER OR PASSENGER DOOR. THIS IS EVEN A BIGGER PROBLEM HAVING A 2 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR IS MANUALLY. SINCE THERE IS NO KEY HOLE ON THE REAR DOORS YOU HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE VEHICLE TO LOCK THE DOOR. I CAN'T EVEN LOCK THE DOOR IF SHE MANUALLY MOVES THE LOCK WITH HER HAND I CAN'T LOCK IT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE DRIVER LOCK, THEN PROGRESSED TO THE REAR RIGHT DOOR, NOW THREE OF THE 4 DOORS ARE AFFECTED AND ALSO THE REAR HATCH. IT IS NOT AN OPTION TO OPEN IF YOU CAN'T USE THE UNLOCK BUTTON. THERE IS NO MANUAL RELEASE BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE HATCH.

Jul 13, 2010
DOOR LOCK FAILED TO PERFORM ON NISSAN MURANO 05 1. HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. THIS FAILURE IS AN INTERMITTENT OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE DOORS LOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN ADDITION, SOMETIMES THE DOORS UNLOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. 3. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. AND THE MURANO'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT IT'S NOT EASY TO COMPREHEND IF IT'S NOT YOUR CAR, FOR INSTANCE A RENTAL CAR. I CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE CONFUSED HOW UNLOCK A DOOR USING THE MANUAL LEVEL IN AN EMERGENCY WHEN THEY VIRTUALLY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH IT. IN EMERGENCIES EVERY SECOND COUNTS. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY A HIGH RISK IN EMERGENCY SCENARIOS. SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE $1600 TO HAVE ALL THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED (AS QUOTED BY DEALERS) WILL FORGO GETTING THEM FIXED, PUTTING THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AT RISK WITH THE ABOVE MISHAP EXAMPLES. THIS SHOULDN'T BE, NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THEM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

GOT SERVICE ENGINE SOON ERROR CODE ON MONITOR WITH TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER ON THE ROAD ON 2005 NISSAN MURANO (54000 MILES). LOOKING AT INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS IS CONSISTENT PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR JUST LIKE OTHER NISSAN CARS OF THIS PERIOD (XTERRA, PATHFINDER). THIS IS RELATED TO FUEL SENSOR ERROR WITH P0463 CODE WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR ANY CARS. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS ABOUT $600 TO $ 800. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD RECALL OR AT LEAST PARTIALLY COMPENSATE OWNERS. I WAS ALSO ASKED TO REPLACE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE A FEW YEARS AGO THAT COSTS ABOUT $ 1000/=. ALL THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AS IT CAN STOP CAR ON ROAD AT ANY TIME. I REQUEST AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO INFORM NHTSA AND NISSAN IF SUCH PROBLEM ARISES.

IN MARCH 2013, A NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL SENSORS AND A RELATED AMPLIFIER BECAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WENT ON AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES SPECIFIED A FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM (I PAID BETWEEN $1000-1500). ABOUT A YEAR LATER, THE FUEL SENSOR LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN, THE FUEL GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY SHOWS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS MORE THAN ONE-HALF FULL, AND THE "MILES TO EMPTY" GAUGE PERIODICALLY GOES TO ZERO AND THEN REBOUNDS TO THE SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF MILES LEFT. THE NISSAN DEALER STATES THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE SHOWS A PROBLEM IN A "PAST CYCLE" AND THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. I'M UNSURE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT -- BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL (OTHER NISSAN MODELS HAD RECALLS BECAUSE OF FUEL SENSOR PROBLEMS). *TR

THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR WAS THE INVOLUNTARY LOCKING OF ALL DOORS WITHOUT MY INVOLVEMENT WHENEVER I PARKED THE CAR SOMEWHERE.

ORIGINAL OWNER OF MURANO, PURCHASED NEW IN 2005. THE DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO LOCK AND UN-LOCK. THIS HAS OCCURED AT VAIROUS TIMES WHEN USING ANY MEANS AVAILABLE TO LOCK AND UN-LOCK THE DOORS: THE KEY FOB, INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS BUTTON ON DOOR, AND MANUAL MANIPILATION OF THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCK(S). THE ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED WITH ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS AND OCCASSIONALLY THE REAR HATCH (NOT OPENED AS OFTEN, SO IT MAY OCCURE MORE FREQUENTLY, JUST NOT AWARE OF IT). THE CONDITION WORSENS IN THE WARM WEATHER (LIVE IN FL). HAVE AT TIMES BEEN UNABLE TO GET IN OR OUT OF MY VEHICLE UNTIL ALL OF THE ABOVE MEANS TRIED REPEATEDLY UNTIL ONE WORKS. HAVE FOUND THAT I CAN ONLY GET IN MY CAR DURING WARM WEATHER IF I USE THE FOB TO ROLL THE FRONT WINDOWS DOWN AND THEN REACH IN THE VEHICLE AND MANUALLY UNLOCK THE CAR DOOR. *TR
Apr 24, 2013
IN MID JAN, 2013 I NOTICED THAT AFTER LOCKING WITH THE KEY FOB, THE FRONT DOOR REMAINED UNLOCKED, AND WOULD NOT LOCK FROM INSIDE THE CAR WITH EITHER THE INDIVIDUAL LOCK CONTROL OR THE WHOLE CAR LOCK CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE DOOR IS WITH YOUR KEY, FROM THE OUTSIDE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ADDED SAFETY OF A LOCKED DRIVERS DOOR. ALL OTHER DOORS ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY AT THIS TIME. THE WEB SEEMS TO BE FILLED WITH OTHER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND I WONDER IF THEY REALIZE THE DANGER THEY FACE WHEN ALL DOORS ARE NOT LOCKED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 17, MY DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY OR WITH THE ACTUAL KEY. I CALLED NISSAN OF QUEENS TO STATE AGAIN THAT SOMETHING FRAUDULENT WAS DONE TO MY CAR SINCE MY INITIAL VISIT ON SEPTEMBER 4. THEY ADVISED ME TO COME IN TO "CHECK" THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, PAST EXPERIENCE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT WILL BE TO "FIX" THE DOOR, CHARGE ME SOME RIDICULOUS AMOUNT, AND THEN CREATE ANOTHER MALFUNCTION. THIS NEW MALFUNCTION WILL HAVE ME COMING BACK THE NEXT WEEK FOR A REPEAT OF THIS FRAUDULENT SERVICE. MY CAR IS BREAKING DOWN BEFORE MY EYES AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WOULD LET THIS HAPPEN TO A LOYAL CUSTOMER. AS YOU KNOW TAMPERING WITH MY CAR DOOR CAN BE HARMFUL TO MY PERSON IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS: 1.HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2.THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. 3.IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY A HIGH RISK IN EMERGENCY SCENARIOS. SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE $1600 TO HAVE ALL THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED (AS QUOTED BY DEALERS). *TR

MY 6-MONTH PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR NEW MURANO WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE CAR'S SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO BEYOND A FEW MILES AN HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. ALTHOUGH SHE MADE IT HOME SAFE, WHEN WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. SINCE THEIR COMPUTER DIDNT RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM, THE TECHNICIAN WOULDNT LOOK AT IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN TO US AND WHEN WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN THE DEALER SEEMED IGNORANT OF THE RECALL. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN BETWEEN INCIDENTS AND COULDNT GET AN APPT RIGHT AWAY. WHEN I SHOWED HIM THE FORM, HE SAID THAT THE ALTERNATOR PROBABLY DIDNT NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT THEY'D LOOK AT IT. IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT WE HAVE TO FIGHT SO MUCH TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED.

2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE LEFT SEAT ( DRIVERS ). ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WAS LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT.

MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE I-10 WHEN HE SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND THE SEAT WAS SUDDENLY LOPSIDED. I THEREFORE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT HAVING IT REPAIRED AND IF MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS AND LABOR WOULD COST $846, I ALSO HAD TO PAY THE $90 WHETHER OR NOT I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I CONTACTED MY WARRANTY COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AFTER THE 36000 MILE. MY CAR HAD ROUGHLY 60K MILES AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. I NOW HAVE TO RIDE WITH TWO LARGE PHONE BOOKS UNDER MY SEAT IN ORDER TO DRIVE. I ASKED THAT A SUPERVISOR CONTACT ME AND NO ONE EVER DID. I NOW HAVE 72K MILES AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE ABOUT REPAIRING THIS BEFORE IT HITS 100K. I AM NOT QUITE SURE OF THE DATE BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT WAS SOMETIME IN JANUARY. *TR

Not sure when it started bc I just purchased this vehicle a month ago. While driving one evening the head lights went off and I had to turn them off and back on. Now a few weeks later and after I've changed the bulbs and made sure the fuse wasn't blown it is doing it ALOT. I'm not sure if it is a wiring problem or if it is in the on and off switch.

MEANWHILE IVE HAD TO PAY OVER $1000 FOR THE ALTERNATOR WORK WHICH WAS RECALLED HOWEVER MY VIN DIDNT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND HOOD OF CAR ARE ALSO SO HOT YOU CANT TOUCH THEM EVEN AFTER JUST DRIVING 1 MILE IN 70 DEGREEE WEATHER HOWEVER THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ISNT RUNNING HIGH. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF UPON STARTING. I TRIED CYCLING THE ENGINE NURMEROUS TIMES BUT THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. NISSAN SAID THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE WHOLE UNIT FOR $5000 BECAUSE THEY CANT PIN POINT AIRBAG ISSUE. AIRBAG ISSUE ISNT FIXED AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME IF I HAVE A WORKING AIR BAG OR NOT.

THIS COMPLAINT RELATES TO A CLOSED RECALL FOR THE 2005 NISSAN MURANO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V3190. TWO MONTHS WITH THE VEHICLE AND I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WHERE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DRIVE-ABILITY, BRINGING MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF TO A HARMS WAY. I CONTRACTED AAMCO TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, ONE MONTH LATER, NISSAN USA HAD TO PROVIDE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION TO REPLACE THE ONE CHANGED ONE MONTH BEFORE. LAST MONDAY, JULY 06, 2015, WHILE DRIVING ON THE NEW JERSEY GARDEN STATE PARKWAY, THE VEHICLE PRESENTED SERIOUS TROUBLE, WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AWD AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AS THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED, TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED, PUTTING MY WIFE, MYSELF AND OTHER VEHICLES AROUND US IN SERIOUS RISK OF ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND LATER TO A NEAR BY FRIEND`S HOUSE IN THE GALLOWAY AREA. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN USA REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT AAMCO, SINCE THEY INSTALLED THE NEW TRANSMISSION. AAMCO CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT, THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE ALTERNATOR THAT HEATED UP, DROPPED VOLTAGE TO 12V DC AND CAUSED THE SAFE MODE TO ENGAGE, BY MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN USA CLAIMS THAT THIS NHTSA CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN CLOSED, WHEN IT IS TO MY BELIEVE THAT, IT SHOULD BE RE-OPENED AND NOT ONLY ME, BUT ALSO MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS, THAT STILL CONFRONT SUCH FACTORY DEFECTIVE ISSUES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO ACT FAST ENOUGH AND BRING MY VEHICLE TO SAFES WAY, WOULD ALL OTHERS BE SO LUCKY?

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON OUR WAY TO PICK UP DAUGHTER WHO LIVES 1.5 HOURS AWAY MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND LET IT STOP TO PUT IT IN PARK. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. I HAD TO GET REAR BRAKE PADS AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS AS WELL AS THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE REAR CALIPER. THIS ALL COST ME $1,700 AS WELL AS A WEEKEND WITH MY GRANDCHILD! THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY WARNING SIGNS THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES, I HAD ONLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2018. I PAID 5,500 DOLLARS FOR THE VEHICLE AND THUS FAR HAVE HAD TO PUT ALMOST 4,000 DOLLARS INTO REPAIRS AND TOW TRUCKS! NOW I WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND AS I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT IS VERY SQUISHY AND NOW IS GOING TO THE FLOOR!. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND MY DRIVEWAY IS COVERED IN BRAKE FLUID!!! MY MASTER CYLINDER IS OBVIOUSLY NOW NEEDING TO BE REPLACED! I PUT IN A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID HOPING TO DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP AND I CAN SEE IT DRIPPING OUT OF MY VEHICLE ALREADY WITHOUT EVEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKES! I AM GOING TO HAVE TO AGAIN CALL A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE GARAGE TO BE REPAIRED. I AM NOT SURE YET BUT I AM GUESSTIMATING THIS WILL COST ME ANOTHER 1200 DOLLARS. NOT TO MENTION I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACKNPINION????? 2005 NISSAN MURANO SEEMS TO BE THE WORST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE, AND I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE IT AS A DEATH TRAP. OH ONE LAST THING, THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. I GOT HOME AND FOUND OUT THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BACK LIGHTS THAT WORKED. NOT BRAKE LIGHTS, BLINKERS, NOTHING. DEATH TRAP

MY CAR JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I GOT IT TOWED TO GOOD YEAR - MY CAR HAD CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WAS DIAGNOSED AT GOODYEAR AND THEY CALLED NISSAN TO SEE ABOUT THE PARTS AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS COVERED BY MANUFACTURE WARRANTY - SO I HAD IT TOWED ON A FLAT BED TRUCK TO NISSAN IN DENVER. GOODYEAR HAD DRAINED THE FLUIDS TO TAKE IT APART DURING DIAGNOSIS AND SENT THE PARTS AND THE CAR ON THE TOW TRUCK TO THE GO NISSAN SHOP. THEY FOUND A NUMBER OF OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AT THE NISSAN SHOP WHICH THEY SAID WERE NOT COVERED - SUCH AS- CAM SHAFT SENSORS,DRIVE BELTS,HEAD GASKET. I AGREED TO PAY FOR THOSE ITEMS AND TO GET MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED FOR FREE UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE THREE TO FIVE DAYS TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE FACTORY. I GET A CALL TODAY FROM GO NISSAN ON JUNE 19TH ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THEY AGREED TO FIX IT AND THEY NOW SAY THAT THERE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN SOME PURPLE FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW THEY WONT REPLACE IT OR COVER IT IN ANY WAY. THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS DELIVERED THERE WITH NO FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AT ALL. THEY SAID, YA, WELL.. WE SAW SOME PURPLE SUBSTANCE IN THE CUP WITH THE PARTS THAT WERE DELIVERED AND WE WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE OF THAT CONTAMINATION... IM AT MY WITTS END HERE, THEY WANT $4000.00 FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND ANOTHER $2,500.00 FOR THE REST OF THE WORK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEEL LIKE THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME AND ARE NOW TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WARRANTY. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. *JS

THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKES AND CHECKING ALL THE SENSORS, CHECKING THE BATTERY AND ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS AND FLUIDS.

SUBFRAME BROKE BETWEEN THE REAR WHEELS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. MECHANIC INSPECTED IT AND SUBFRAME IS RUSTED FROM INSIDE OUT. MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS 150,000 MILES AND I AM THE FIRST OWNER THAT TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THE CAR, FROM KEEPING IT IN MY GARAGE, TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND CAR WASHING TO PREVENT RUST. CAR IS INOPERABLE WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN FOR REPLACEMENT FOR 6 DAYS. NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON THIS MODEL FOR 2003-2007 YEAR OF MANUFACTURING, HOWEVER I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE ENGINE ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AND WOULDN'T RESPOND BY GIVING IT GAS. THEN IT JUST LURCHED FORWARD ABRUBTLY AND BEGAN TO RUN NORMALLY. THEN AFTER ABOUT 2 MORE BLOCKS WHILE WE'RE GOING 45 MPH IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 3 LANE ROAD. THIS CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO ALMOST REAREND US BUT THE CARS BEHIND THEM ACTUALLY DID GET INTO A CRASH TRYING TO STOP FROM HITTING THEM. THANKFULLY A POLICE CAR WAS A FEW CARS BACK AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THEIR LIGHTS ON AND PUSH MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE WE COULDN'T EVEN GET OUT OF THE CAR WITH CARS WHIZZING PAST US ON BOTH SIDES. THANK GOD OR WE COULD'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE CAR CRASH AND ONE OF US COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT. THIS HAPPENED ON 07/13/18. I PAID ABOUT $600 TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND FIX SOMETHING IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. NOW IT IS ONLY A MONTH LATER, 08/15/18, AND IT'S DONE IT AGAIN. IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE DRIVING 35MPH WHILE TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP. THE CARS WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION CONES/SIGNS TO OUR RIGHT ILLEGALLY OR THEY WERE DRIVING DOWN THE SHARED TURN LANE ON OUR LEFT TO GET AROUND ME. ABOUT 200 CARS DROVE PAST US WITHOUT BOTHERING TO OFFER HELP AND EVEN AFTER CALLING 911 FOR HELP, IT TOOK THEM ALMOST AN HOUR TO SHOW UP AND ONCE AGAIN HAD TO PUSH US OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. THIS IS CREATING A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I SAW RECALL 09V169000 FOR SIMILAR OR SAME ISSUE FOR MY MODEL/YEAR BUT WHEN I LOOK UP MY VIN IT SAYS I HAVE NO RECALLS. I HAD SPENT ALMOST $1300 ABOUT 3-4 YRS AGO TO FIX THIS VERY SAME "STALLING WHILE DRIVING" ISSUE AND THOUGHT I WAS PAST ALL THIS. NOW I'M BACK TO SQUARE 1 AND ISSUE STILL EXISTS! WHY IS THIS NISSAN MURANO FLAW NOT COVERED FOR ALL MURANO'S WITH THIS PROBLEM? PEASE RESEARCH MY VIN# AND SEE IF IT CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BEFORE ONE OF US GETS SERIOUSLY HURT?

TAKATA RECALL..I DROVE MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND I PARKED THE NISSAN. 20 MINUTES LATER STARTED TO BACK THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I PUT IT ON DR IT WENT BY 2 MILES AN HOUR SO THEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT STILL WENT TO MILES AN HOUR IT'S STILL DROVE BUT IT WAS GOING AROUND 5 MILES AN HOUR. THEN I PARKED THE NISSAN AND LET IT COOL OFF AND SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. I COULD NOT FIND NOTHING, I CALLED MY HUSBAND HE COULD NOT FIND NOTHING EITHER, HE DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND IT STILL WENT 5 MILES AN HOUR SO THEN HE CHECKED THE ENGINE NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT IT DID SAY ABS AND THEN AROUND 20 MINUTES LATER THE NISSAN TURN ON AND IT WENT NORMAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED UNTIL 2 MONTHS LATER. THE NEXT TIME I WAS AT A DRIVE-THRU AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ABS TURN ON AND IT DID NOT WANT TO GO FAST IT WENT AGAIN FIVE MILES AN HOUR. THEN I TURN AROUND THE CORNER AND THEN IT WENT FAST BUT THEN IT WENT SLOW AGAIN SO I PARK THE NISSAN, AND BEGIN TO START IT AND THEN IT WOULDN'T START THE ABS WENT ON AGAIN, THEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I FINALLY GOT A JUMP AND IT TURNED BACK ON LIKE NORMAL AND IT WENT NORMAL UNTIL I GOT TO THE STORE AND I LEFT THE NISSAN ON WITH THE AIR CONDITION AND HAD MY SON IN THE CAR. MY SON SAID THAT AIR CONDITIONER KEEP GOING ON AND OFF ON AND OFF THE WINDOWS WERE NOT WORKING TRY TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS IT WASN'T WORKING SO THEN I GOT IN THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN DRY IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO IT WENT 5 MILES AN HOUR THEN THE ABS TURNED BACK ON AND THEN IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL I WAS DRIVING I MADE IT ALL THE WAY HOME AND THAT IS WHAT'S GOING ON WITH A NISSAN MURANO.

I PAID $600 FOR THE ALTERNATOR TO BE REPAIRED AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ME $4200 TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY SORT OF DISCOUNT. I GOT 3 MONTHS OUT OF A $6000+ DOLLAR CAR. I AM SO UPSET THIS HAS CAUSED SO MANY PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE IN SO MANY WAYS.

THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER THERE WERE A LOT OF CODES THAT POPPED UP BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WEREN'T HAPPENING ANYMORE. I ASKED OF THEY CHECKED ALL OF THE WIRES THEY TOLD ME YES. SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE AND LATER THAT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM LUNCH BREAK THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE MURANO SLOWED DOWN AS BEFORE ONLY THIS TIME IT CUT COMPLETELY OFF. IT ONLY HELD A JUMP FOR ABOUT 5 BLOCKS BEFORE IT CUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T CHECK ANYTHING UNLESS I PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND THEY PUT IT IN AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN IT JUST NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS READING FINE BUT IN MY OPINION THAT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS FEEDING OFF THE JUICE OF A NEW BATTERY. ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN WITH A NEW BATTERY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR SLOWED DOWN THIS TIME THE METERS WENT CRAZY THEN IT CUT OFF. ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED WITH MY CAR CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT AND THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER A RECALL. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AFTER A WEEK OF WAITING AND UNRETURNED CALLS I FINALLY TALKED TO A REGIONAL MANAGER FROM TENNESSEE BY THE NAME OF [XXX] ONLY BECAUSE I GOT TRANSFERRED TO HIM AND ALL HE TOLD ME WAS NISSAN WILL NOT HELP YOU OUT FINANCIALLY.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2005 MURANO. I NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH HYDROPLANING SOON AFTER PURCHASE, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND ON GUARD WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR EVEN WHEN STREETS ARE WET. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITH BRAND NEW TIRES AND TIRES THAT WERE SLIGHTLY WORN SO THE TIRES DON'T SEEM TO BE THE PROBLEM, UNLESS ITS THE TYPE OF TIRE BUT ITS NOT THE TREAD ON THE TIRE. THE CAR CAME WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE P235/65 R18 TIRES AND I HAVE REPLACED WITH SAME TIRES WHEN NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED OF TREAD WEAR. ON JULY 22, 2013 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM GATLINBURG WITH DAUGHTER AND 2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN CAR. WE WERE CAUGHT IN DOWNPOUR GOING THROUGH KNOXVILLE. I TRULY CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE ALIVE. MY CAR WOULD CONTINUALLY LOSE TRACTION AND IT WOULD SLIDE TO ONE SIDE UNTIL IT WOULD GRAB TRACTION BEFORE GOING OFF THE ROAD OR WRECKING. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THE MURANO IN REGARDS TO HYDROPLANING. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR COMING DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP SINCE A COUPLE YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT MY MURANO AND DUE TO HYDROPLANING SAFETY ISSUE I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER ONE. PLEASE TAKE THIS ISSUE UP WITH NISSAN BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE MY MURANO AT THIS TIME SO IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. THERE IS NO DOUBT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WAS NOT PROVEN BECAUSE DIDN'T LIVE TO TELL WHAT HAPPENED. WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS POINT TO PREVENT BECOMING A STATISTIC AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY PRECIOUS CARGO? I FEEL LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. *TR

2 INCIDENTS 1) BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP COMPLETELY CAUSING ISSUES DURING DRIVING (FALLING INTO DRIVER'S VIEW WHILE DRIVING). I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER CAR I'VE OWNED (HONDA, FORD, CHEVY, TOYOTA). AVERAGE REPLACEMENT COST PER VISOR IS ~$200.00 WHICH IS A LITTLE STEEP. 2) WHEN CAR REACHED 104,000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S SEAT REAR LEFT BRACKET CRACKED. THIS OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN FROM A STOP. DATE OF OCCURRENCE IS MAY 4, 2013. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND SEVERAL NISSAN MURANOS HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE LEFT REAR SUPPORT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR LONG TERM APPLICATION AND IS A FLAWED DESIGN. I ALSO FOUND SOMEONE THAT WELDED THEIR BRACKET TOGETHER FROM YOUTUBE WHICH MAY BE THE ROUTE I MAY TAKE IF A RECALL IS NOT IMPLEMENTED. AVERAGE REPLACEMENT COST OF DRIVER'S SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY (HEARD THEY WILL NOT REPLACE JUST THE BRACKET) IS ~$700.00.

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS FLASHING IN THE DASH AGAIN. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONCE BEFORE WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE NORTH LITTLE ROCK DEALERSHIP. ON LEAVING THE GARAGE WITHIN JUST A MILE, I MADE A LEFT TURN AND HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT CAME BACK ON. I WENT STRAIT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BUT THE (SECOND REPLACEMENT PART) WOULDN'T BE IN TILL THE NEXT DAY SO I WAS GIVEN A LOANER FOR ONE DAY. NOW IT'S BACK ON AGAIN. ALSO NOTED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THAT THE LUMBAR SUPPORT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NO LONGER INFLATES/DEFLATES AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS FIXED AND HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT 37,000 MILES AT MY COST. ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP RESURFACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND REPLACE A REAR CALIPER UNDER WARRANTY THAT HAD LOCKED UP 1 & 1/2 YEARS AGO. I SEE THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE IN NEED OF RESURFACING AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE BREAK PADS HAVE 1/2 OF THERE WEAR LEFT TO GO. DUE TO THE HIGHLY CHROMED /CURVED DIPSTICK, GETTING AN ACCURATE OIL LEVEL READING IS NOT POSSIBLE AT ANY TIME, SO THE DIPSTICK HAS ONLY BEEN REMOVED THREE TIME SINCE PURCHASING IT AS IT IS A POINTLESS ENDEAVOR. I OWN SIX AUTOS THAT RANGE IN AGE FROM 1972 THREW THIS 2005 MURANO AND OF ALL OF THEM, THE MURANO IS THE LEAST TRUSTED ONE. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I COULD HEAR WHAT COULD BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A COMBINATION CLICK AND SNAP. AT THE SAME TIME I FELT THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION (PICTURES AVAILABLE), I FOUND THAT A SUPPORTING BRACKET HAS SHEARED IN TWO PLACES. THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO BE VERY LOOSE. ONE OF THE POWER SEAT FUNCTIONS WILL CAUSE THE SEAT TO RAISE UP ONLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. *TR

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

TL* - THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE STRONG GAS FUMES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE GAS FUMES WOULD FILL THE GARAGE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SMELL GAS FUMES CONTINUED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM IN APRIL 2006. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE DEALER ALSO ADDED FUEL TANK PROTECTORS. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO SMELL GAS FUMES. IN JANUARY 2007, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF THE GAS FUMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR CANISTER BECAUSE THEY FOUND GAS IN IT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE REASON FOR THE GAS FUMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE RETURNED HOME SHE SAW SOME TYPE OF TAR SEALANT AROUND THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM HER OF THIS. THE CONTACT STATED THE GAS FUMES WERE NOW WORSE.

EXITING PARKING LOT ONTO ROADWAY, ENGINE HESITATION WITH LITTLE ACCELERATION, AWD LOCK COMES ON, SERVICE ENGINE SOON COMES ON. TURN OFF ROADWAY, SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART, NO ACCELERATION POWER, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS STILL ON - CANNOT DRIVE VEHICLE. NEXT MORNING TOWED TO DEALERSHIP; REPORT IS A CODE U1000 - ELECTRICAL AND GROUND WIRE PROBLEM. TSB PROCEDURE FOLLOWED BASED ON THE CODE. HOWEVER, TSB SAYS IT APPLIES TO THE CODE ONLY WHEN NO MALFUNCTION INDICATORS LIGHTS ARE ON. THEREFORE, I DO NOT BELIEVE PROBLEM IS FIXED. ALSO, SINCE THEN A VIBRATION IS DETECTED THROUGH THE GAS PEDAL WHEN ACCELERATING. SERVICE MANAGER AND TECH TEST DROVE AND STATED THERE WAS SOMETHING DETECTED BUT NO FIX SINCE THERE IS NO TSB FOR THIS KIND OF PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO SL [XXX] AND DUE TO RECALL NUMBER 06V048000, I TOOK IN MY VEHICLE TO HAVE THE GAS TANK SHIELD AND SAFETY BELT WEBBING INSTALLED TO ST CHARLES NISSAN INC, ST PETERS, MO (NISSAN DEALER NO. SCN). UPON MY VEHICLE'S RETURN, I FIND THERE IS NO 2ND ROW LH SEAT BELT CLIP FOR ME TO INSERT EITHER THE 2ND ROW LH SEAT BELT OR MY CHILD SEAT SECURING HARNESS INTO. THERE WERE 3 CLIPS PRIOR TO MY TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP - ONE FOR 2ND ROW RH, ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND ONE FOR 2ND ROW LH. NOW THERE ARE ONLY 2 AND I CAN SEE VISIBLE SIGNS OF THE LH SEAT BELT CLIP HAVING BEING CUT OFF FROM THE SEAT. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM ATTACHING MY CHILD SEAT FOR LH REAR PASSENGER TO USE A SEAT BELT. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT OR NISSAN'S DIRECTION TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT CLIP, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO WAY I CAN USE A CHILD SEAT AS THERE IS NO PLACE TO SECURE THE HARNESS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. *NM UPDATED 07/16/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DT: THE WINDSHIELD IS DISTORTED. THE GLASS IS WAVY, AND IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF. THE WINDSHIELD THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE OUTER SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE PROBLEM ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING IT. THIS OCCURRED ON APRIL 5, 2005. WHEN THE CONSUMER WENT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, HE WAS ADVISED THAT EVERY VEHICLE OF THAT YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE MADE THAT WAY. THE CONTACT STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A 4-WHEEL DRIVE, BUT IT IS ONLY AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WHEN THE ROAD IS WET. *AK *NM

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO WHICH IS TWO WHEEL DRIVE WITH THE CTV TRANSMISSION. WE WERE COMING BACK FROM VACATION FROM COLORADO WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED. SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE TRIP WHEN WE WERE COMING DOWN A HILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR WOULD TRY TO MAINTAIN THE SELECTED SPEED HOWEVER IF THE HILL WAS A LITTLE TO BIG IT WOULD TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL IT SELF. WE WERE JUST SOUTH OF SAN ANTONIO THE LAST TIME THAT IT HAD TURNED OFF THE THE CRUISE. THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN IT TURNED OFF THE CRUISE IT ALSO DISABLED THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS RATHER SCARY AS WE WERE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN IT DID IT. WE WERE COMING DOWN A HILL WHEN THE CRUISE TURNED IT SELF OFF AND IN THE PROCESS THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE LANE. ALL WE COULD DO WAS TURN ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND HOPE NO ONE WOULD HIT US. ONCE WE HAD GOTTEN TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED I HAD REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T RESPOND. I HAD PUT IT IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND. I FIGURED IF I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT THAT MAYBE IT WOULD RESET WHATEVER WAS WRONG. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE WHOLE DASH LIT UP. ONE BY ONE THE LIGHTS HAD GONE OUT EXCEPT THE "SERVICE THE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT. HOWEVER THE TRANSMISSION WORKED AND HAS WORKED SINCE. BY THE TIME WE HAD GOTTEN HOME AND GOTTEN AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT IN TO A NISSAN DEALER THE LIGHT HAD GONE OUT. WE HAD TAKEN IT TO THE CHARLIE CLARK NISSAN IN HARLINGEN TEXAS AND THEY HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. THE REASON THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM IS THAT WE HAVE NO HILLS AS WE LIVE IN THE VALLEY AND THERE ARE NO HILLS HERE. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD CHECKED EVERYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM AND EVERYTHING WAS TO SPECIFICATION. SO NOTHING WAS ADJUSTED , OR REPLACED SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND THE NEXT TIME WE GET INTO THE HILL COUNTRY IT WILL PROBABLY ACT UP AGAIN.

CHILD SEAT
1 complaint
THE NISSAN MURANO HAS A DEFECT THAT MAKES INSTALLING CHILD SEATS DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, IN THE REAR CENTER POSITION. SPECIFICALLY, THE ANCHOR POINT FOR TETHER STRAPS OF FORWARD FACING CHILD SEATS IS LOCATED SO FAR FROM THE VEHICLE'S CENTER SEAT THAT YOU CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY ANCHOR THE TETHER STRAP, THUS PREVENTING A TRUE INSTALLATION IN THE CENTER POSITION. I AM A NATIONALLY CERTIFIED CHILD SEAT TECHNICIAN.
