  DURING THE COURSE OF NORMAL, ROUTINE AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME LOOSE AND BEGAN TO ROCK/MOVE. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT SEAT MOUNT FOR DRIVER'S SEAT WAS BROKEN AT A WELD SPOT, COMPROMISING THE INTEGRITY OF THE MOUNTING. NO COLLISSION OR OTHER ABNORMAL EVENT PRECIPITATED THE INCIDENT. THIS WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT IN THE SEAT MOUNT WITH SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS.

I SPENT $1800 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND NOW DECEMBER 27, 2011 MY TRANSFER CASE IS CRACKED AGAIN. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD BE GOING THROUGH THIS AND PUTTING OUR MORE MONEY WHEN I OWE SO MUCH ON IT.

  ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, I BEGIN TO NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ROCKING EVERY TIME I TURNED. THIS IS NOT A SLIGHT ROCKING. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SEAT MOVES 2-3 INCHES. I WAS ACTUALLY BUMPING INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE. IT SEEMS TO BE LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A "BROKEN BRACKET IN THE LINK ARM." THERE IS AN EXTENDED BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY ON THE CAR, BUT NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE PART. I DO NOT VIEW THIS AS A COSMETIC ISSUE OR A MINOR PROBLEM. I HAVE TRUE CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT WITH A LOOSE SEAT, ESPECIALLY IN A ROLLOVER. *TR

  1. WE OWN A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, WE HEARD A "CRACK" SOUND IN THE CAR. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT THAT THE SEAT'S BACK WAS ABLE TO MOVE IN A MANNER THAT IS NOT NORMAL. IT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT/TWIST TO THE SIDE RATHER THAN BE STABLE IN A FRONT-FACING POSITION. THIS OCCURRED WITH A VEHICLE THAT WAS ONLY DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL SUBURBAN CONDITIONS (NOT USED OFF ROAD OR IN EXTREME SITUATIONS) AND WITH APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. THERE WERE NO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR UNUSUAL DRIVING, JARRING, OR TRAUMA TO THE VEHICLE OR ITS SEAT IN THE DAYS, MONTHS, AND YEARS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE. 2. A METAL SEAT BRACKET (SEAT LIFT FRAME ASSEMBLY) IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE ON 12/20/2010. THIS HAS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE FRONT SEAT BEING ABLE TO MOVE ABOUT INCLUDING ROCKING, SHIFTING, AND TWISTING WHILE DRIVING, AND IS ESPECIALLY UNSTABLE DURING TURNS OR ON A BUMPIER SURFACE. EVEN WITH A SEATBELT ON, THERE IS A SERIOUS INSTABILITY TO THE SEAT. WHILE WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A CRASH THAT CAUSED INJURY, FROM THIS, WE STRONGLY FEEL THE POTENTIAL FOR THERE TO BE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH BECAUSE THE SEAT IS NOT STABILIZED EXISTS. IN REVIEWING MESSAGE BOARDS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF MURANOS (SEE HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2004/NISSAN/MURANO/SEAT FOR EXAMPLE), THIS FAILURE EXISTS IN MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS (NOTED FROM 2004 ON) AND APPEAR TO IMPACT HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF MURANO OWNERS. 3. NISSAN REQUIRES THE SEAT TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1000 - $1200 TO THE CONSUMER. THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THUS DO NOT COVER THIS UNDER RECALL. WE ARE CURRENTLY AWAITING THE REPAIR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

  SEAL ON NISSAN MURANO 2007 WITH 77,000 MILES MALFUNCTIONED/EXPLODED CAUSING OIL TO LEAK DAMAGING THE TRANSFER CASE. BOTH MY MECHANIC AND THE SERVICE AREA OF THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THAT THEY HAD NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. DEALERSHIP CAME BACK WITH A QUOTE OF ABOUT $4,500; CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM NOT TO SERVICE IT AT THIS TIME; THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A 3 YEAR CAR DESPITE THE MILEAGE; NISSAN GUARANTEES 100,000. I TOOK MY CASE TO THE COOPERATE OFFICE IN TENNESSEE WHERE THEY SET UP FILE. VALERIE, THE REGIONAL SPECIALIST CONTACTED ME WITHIN ABOUT A WEEK AND EXPLAINED THAT SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST. I EXPLAINED THAT WHETHER IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT WAS NOT THE ISSUE; THE PROBLEM IS THAT NISSAN HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT; I.E. RECALL THE CAR. VALERIE WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL AND QUITE BELLIGERENT. AS I TRIED TO GET A MANAGER SHE WOULD NOT COOPERATE. I HAVE RETAINED A LAWYER AND I AM ALSO CONSIDERING FILING UNDER THE LEMON LAW. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM; HAS NO CONCERN OF THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLE AND/OR THE CONSUMER. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD RESEARCH. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE ALREADY FOUND RELATED TO THE TRANSFER CASE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

  The rear subframe is rusted through in several areas. The rear sway bar connection point on the rear driver side control arm is no longer connected due to rust. The rear tires are slanted inward causing uneven tire wear. The vehicle sways from side to side while driving on any surface that is even slightly slick.

  To whom this may concern ,Y husband owns a Nissan Murano 2007 AWD. He uses this car as his daily as he has to travel for work from Shirley NY to Garden City NY 5-6 times a week . On Dec 10th as he was leaving home to go to work he got on the main road and his car lost control . Thank god there was no one around him and everyone was alert because his car almost caused a fatal accident . My father was able to tow it back home and I started calling mechanic shops to see who would be able to check his car and fix it asap . I finally get in touch with a mechanic and my father takes it to his shop the mechanic looked at the car and told us that his whole K Frame was rusted and came off completely . He said “ this is a common issue with Nissan Murano 2007 , I worked at Nissan dealership and we would see this all the time and it’s very dangerous you cannot drive this car” My question is if this is such a common issue . Why isn’t this recalled? Why are these car still out on the road? We have to spend insane amount of money that we don’t have to fix this issue because we can’t afford to buy a brand new car but no only that my husband could’ve almost lost his life and hurt other ones because of this issue . This seriously needs to be fixed . After doing my research I see many people complained about this not only a while back but recently and still nothing has been done . Our car is still in the shop and we have no idea when we’ll get it back due to the cost of these parts . Please do something about this .

  I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR USED. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING EVERY TIME I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE, BUT WOULD GET SMOOTH ONCE I GOT UP TO SPEED. AFTER A FEW STOP AND GO, THE CAR DECIDED TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR HOME SAFELY, BUT BARELY. NOW IT DRIVES SMOOTH FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE EXTREME SHAKING RETURNS. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, AND STOPS AFTER I SHIFT IT OUT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 07 NISSAN MURANO IS NOTORIOUS FOR FAILING. NISSAN ACTUALLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/ 120,000 MILES. BUT IF YOU CANNOT GET IT FIXED WITHIN THAT TIME YOUR STUCK, BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BAD NO TRANSMISSION SHOP WOULD WORK ON THEM. EVERY FORUM RELATED TO MURANOS JUST RANTS ABOUT HOW BAD THE TRANSMISSION IS. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN SO MANY VEHICLES, I AM SCARED TO IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE AT SPEED.

  Please recall electrical system, started out the doors not locking and trunk wont open then inside lights would not come on. I put my steering wheel down lower and when I did the car would not start. The inside lights come on when the car wont start then when I move steering wheel back up the lights go back off and the car will start again. The all wheel drive lock button will not work and the all wheel drive kicks in and out on it's own while driving the vehicle. While my children and I were on our way to town the vehicle started to lose power and the steering wheel was hard to handle then the all wheel drive locked in and out and then power was back. It was scary and it almost caused me to crash and people to crash into me from sudden speed reduction. The mechanics I take my vehicles to told me I'll have to take it to a Nissan dealership to get the electrical system taken care of or replaced.

I DROVE THE SUV MYSELF ON DECEMBER 2ND, AND WHILE TURNING A CORNER AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION IT WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP OR MANHOLE COVER. AT THAT TIME THE REAR END OF THE CAR FISHTAILED, AND I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE REST OF THE DRIVE HOME THE VEHICLE FELT UNSTABLE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON A DRY, SMOOTH, AND STRAIGHT ROAD. UPON ARRIVING HOME, ABOUT 1 MILE FROM WHERE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WAS CAMBERED INWARDS ABOUT 10-15 DEGREES. I CONTACTED MY MECHANIC BY PHONE, AND HE TOLD ME TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE IT TOWED TO HIS INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION. WHEN HE LIFTED THE VEHICLE OFF THE GROUND HE DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. HE SENT ME THE ATTACHED PICTURE, AND SAID THE VEHICLE'S SUBFRAME HAS 'EXTREME' RUST WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR ONLY BEING 12 YEARS OLD, AND THAT IT IS 'NOT SAFE TO DRIVE'. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE READ MANY ARTICLES OF OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CORROSION UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE FOR STATES THAT USE ROAD SALT IN THE WINTER. CURRENTLY THERE IS A REPAIR CAMPAIGN GOING ON WITH NISSAN ALTIMA CORROSION ISSUES, AND I AM CONCERNED MANY OTHER MURANO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE.

• 11/30/2010· LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO WITH 50K HAVE QUIT WORKING. SO WHY IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE? YOU CAN USE THIS JUSTIFICATION WHEN FILING: 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. NISSAN RECALL. *TR
