2005 Nissan Murano Complaint Log

DOOR LOCKS PROBLEM. WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS WITH MY CONTROL OR FROM THE INSIDE, THEY DON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK. SAME WITH THE TRUNK, I CANNOT OPEN MY TRUNK BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK. I CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO REPLACE LOCKS (ALL 5) FOR MORE THAN $1500.00 I ALSO SEE THIS ISSUE IS COMMON IN ALL NISSAN IN DIFFERENT YEARS. A RECALLED SHOULD BE CALLED SINCE THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THANKS *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT JUST STARTED TO TILT TO ONE SIDE, AND ALSO FORWARD. IT IS LOOSE AND WILL TILT FORWARD/BACKWARD WHEN I DECELERATE/ACCELERATES. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, IT'S SORT OF STRUCTURAL FAILURE WITH THE ANCHOR OF THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE POWER DRIVER SEAT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IN 2005 NISSAN MURANO DROPS DOWN OBSCURING VISION AND CREATED POTENTIAL HAZARD. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPS DOWN WITH OUT WARNING. JUST HANGS THERE, I HAVE TO KEEP MY HAND ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM DROPPING DOWN AND BLOCKING BY VISION. *TR

THE DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK BY ANY ELECTRONIC SIGNAL FROM THE PANEL OR HAND HELD DEVICE, MAKING THE MATTER WORSE FOR THE BACK DOOR WHICH CAN'T BE UNLOCKED PERIOD. SINCE THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AND REDESIGNED BY NISSAN AS THE RESPONSIBLE PRODUCER OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVERS CAR SEAT RATTLES FROM SIDE TO SIDE CAUSING DIFFICULTY WHEN DRIVING - SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN MURANO- 2006. *TR

WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS OR DROPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. IT APPEARS THAT THE VISOR IS NOT TIGHTLY HELD BY THE BRACKET THAT IT SITS ON. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THERE IS COMPLETE LOSS OF VISION THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS (OR ANY SPEED FOR THAT MATTER), THIS LOSS OF VISION MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE VISOR IS NOT RAISED UP QUICKLY ENOUGH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS WITH MODEL YEARS 2005, 2006 AND 2007. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE ARE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR LOSS OF LIFE AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW SUN VISOR. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD FALL OUT OF POSITION BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 72000. UPDATED 04/13/10. *LJ UPDATED 09/21/10*JB

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVER WAS OPERATING VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO TRAUMA TO THE VEHICLE, IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. ONE MOMENT IT WAS FINE, THE NEXT I HEARD A POP AND THEN A CRACKING SOUND. THE BACK OF THE SEAT LISTED HEAVILY ON THE LEFT SIDE, THE BOTTOM WAS NO LONGER SECURED. IT MADE STEERING THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT AND VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FALL, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ENTIRE SUN VISOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO, THE DRIVERS SEAT SUPPORT BAR BROKE UNDERNEATH THE SEAT.THIS IS THE TUBE THAT SUPPORTS THE SEAT IN THE FRONT. IT IS A NOT A HEAVY ENOUGH MATERIAL. THIS IS CAUSING THE SEAT TO BE LOP SIDED AND LOOSE. IT ALSO ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE WHICH I FEEL IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT WOULD COMPLETELY BREAK OFF THE MOUNTS AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY TO THE DRIVER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A LARGE MAJORITY OF NISSAN MURANOS. PLEASE GO TO NISSAN MURANO.ORG AND YOU WILL SEE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS A RECALL BEFORE SOME INNOCENT PERSON GETS KILLED BY NISSAN FOR USING A MATERIAL THAT IS NOT DURABLE ENOUGH. I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER BY TRADE AND REVIEWED THE STRESS CALCULATIONS FOR THE TYPE OF MATERIAL USED AND IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT TURNS INTO A BAD SITUATION FOR SOMEONE. *CN INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

REAR HATCH DOOR WILL NOT OPEN ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. *TR

I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ON 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THREE LOCKS SOMETIMES WORK,BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY DON'T. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BECAUSE THE LOCK WILL NOT WORK. I UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD BROKE THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUPPORT BRACKET WHILE DRIVING ON A CLEAR, DRY PAVED ROAD IN JANUARY 2010. THE DRIVER'S SEAT ROCKED FORWARD AND BACKWARD SLIGHTLY AFTER I HEARD A SNAP. THE NEXT DAY I CHECKED OUT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE NO ONE WAS SITTING IN IT AND NOTICED THAT THE SEAT NOW ROCKS SIGNIFICANTLY FORWARD AND BACK AND A METAL BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT HAD BROKEN. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO GOT ME IN THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $450 TO MAKE THE REPAIR SAYING THEY HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TWO DRIVER'S SEAT LIFT ASSEMBLIES AND THEY HAD THE PART IN STOCK. MY MURANO HAS 78K MILES ON IT AND IS BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE HAD PURCHASED. I BOUGHT MY MURANO FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AT 50K MILES AND HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM FOR EVERY KIND OF SERVICE AT THE PROPER SERVICE INTERVALS. BECAUSE WE HAD FOLLOWED ALL THE DEALERSHIP'S RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE PAST FOR REPAIRS AND HAD DONE ALL THE NEEDED SERVICES, AND THIS SEAT ISSUE WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I COULD HAVE PREVENTED OR OTHERWISE BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR CAUSING (I AM AN AVERAGE WEIGHT WOMAN), I CALLED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND SPOKE TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. AFTER EXPLAINING THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THIS SEAT IS TIED INTO THE AIR-BAG SYSTEM AND ASKING FOR SOME GOODWILL ON THIS SAFETY DEFECT, I WAS DENIED. I ASKED FOR JUST A PARTS GOODWILL AND WAS STILL DENIED. AFTER REVIEWING MY SERVICE STATEMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT HE REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT LIFT ASSEMBLY "PER BULLETIN." I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (REFERENCE NUMBER NTB05-043C) THAT WAS ISSUED MARCH 29, 2007 ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE. FURTHER ONLINE INVESTIGATION NOTED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE APPARENTLY HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT AT MUCH LOWER MILEAGE. I AM FURIOUS THAT NISSAN HAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND REFUSED TO COVER IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET WAS BROKEN AND THAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY WELDED. THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR THE SEAT BRACKET WAS $600.00. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND NOTICED LAST NIGHT THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT SHIFTED TO THE LEFT. THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT SNAPPED AND THE SEAT LEANED DOWN TO THE LEFT. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON EDMUNDS.COM, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS AS A DESIGN PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BEING ADDRESSED?? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, UNEXPECTEDLY, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BRACKET BROKE. THE DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSED ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE UNSECURED SEAT BEGAN TO EXHIBIT A ROCKING MOVEMENT. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING WITH EXTREME CAUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DRIVER SEAT BRACKET ASSEMBLY. THE PART WAS ORDERED WITH AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST OF $1,000. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERN OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,300. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND BEGINNING TO ENTER A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT GAVE WAY AND SLUMPED TO THE REAR AND SHIFTED TO THE LEFT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. THE BACK LEFT MOUNTING BRACKET OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE IN HALF AND NOW THE SEAT ROCKS AND SHIFTS TO THE BACK LEFT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALOT. TO REPAIR THE SEAT WILL COST JUST OVER $1,000. NISSAN RECOGNIZES THAT THE BRACKET BREAKS AND IS DEFECTIVE. HOWEVER, NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE SEAT HAS ENOUGH ROCK AND PLAY IN IT THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE BROKEN SEAT CAN ACT AS A CATALYST TO EJECT THE DRIVER FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT. *TR

DRIVER SEAT ON MY NISSAN MURANO 2005 GOT DISCONNECTED FROM THE FLOOR WHEN MAKING LEFT TURN. I WAS LIFT UP WITH THE SEAT TO THE AIR AND AS RESULT LOST CONTROL FOR ABOUT 10 SEC. *TR

MY DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE IN MY 2005 MURANO (68,000 MILES) IN THE SAME MANNER AS A NUMBER OF OTHERS DRIVERS HAVE INDICATED ALREADY. THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL FOR A TIME....VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! THE DRIVER SEAT WELD CAME LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE AND NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING AND GOING AROUND CORNERS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED IT WAS A $1000 PLUS FIX! HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY. DEALER AND EVEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WILL NOT COVER THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE. WILL BE CALLING NISSAN NEXT...BUT FROM THE LOOKS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT WILL BE A WASTE OF TIME SINCE I HAVEN'T HEARD OF NISSAN HELPING FIX ANYONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I'M AFRAID THAT UNTIL I GET THIS FIXED THAT THE ROCKING MOTION WILL BREAK THE LAST SUPPORT AND CAUSE THE ENTIRE SEAT TO BREAK LOOSE WHILE DRIVING. KNOW IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE....PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS!!!! *TR

ON JAN, 2010 THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAD FAILED ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROCK FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND FRONT TO BACK. THE SEAT HAS A FACTORY DEFECT CAUSING THE FRAME TO FAIL. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2004, 2005 2006 AND 2007 NISSAN MURANO WITH THE SAME FAILURE. THIS IS TERRIBLY DANGEROUS AND WILL CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND LIFE THREATENING. *TR

DRIVING IS THE EVENT LEADING TO THE FAILURE. DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION AND FALLS DOWN IN FRONT OF DRIVERS EYES WITHOUT WARNING OR HESITATION. THIS WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DRIVER LOSING EYE CONTACT WITH TRAFFIC AND THE ROAD. *TR

BROKEN DRIVERS SEAT FRAME - NISSAN MURANO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WAS NOT WELDED TO THE FRAME. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRAME AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WAS BROKEN. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ESTIMATED REPAIR WAS $1200. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL; ALTHOUGH, THE CONTACT HAS VIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK SINCE THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT COULD SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME IF A CRASH OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

IF NOT A RECALL ISSUE THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER THE STRICT LIABILITY RULE (JUSTICE TRAYNOR IN ESCOLA V. COCA COLA). *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND BOTH SUN VISORS KEEP FALLING. I'VE TRIED VELCRO AND EVEN GLUE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THESE FAULTY VISORS ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY TEND TO FALL WHEN I AM DRIVING AND MOMENTARILY OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. I'VE COME CLOSE ON A FEW OCCASIONS TO HITTING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE VISORS IS EXORBITANT ($350 OR MORE EA) AND WHILE RESEARCHING WHERE TO BUY THEM CHEAP OR EVEN A METHOD OF REPAIR FOR THIS DEFECT I'VE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE NISSAN OWNERS WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR OF VEHICLE FALLS DOWN ON IT'S OWN. BLOCKS DRIVER'S VISION. OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. SOME TIMES MORE FREQUENTLY DEPENDING UPON THE ROAD. IF THE ROADWAY IS BUMPY, THE VISOR WILL FALL MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHOUT ANY EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IN SOME INSTANCES THE DEALER WILL REPAIR. IN OTHER INSTANCES THEY WILL NOT. COST OF THE REPAIR IS AROUND $400.00. I PLAN TO GO TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND HOPE THEY WILL REPAIR. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A POP SOUND. SEAT BEGAN TO SHIFT WHEN MAKING TURNS AND ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. WE LOOKED UNDER SEAT AND SEE THE REAR BAR HAS BROKEN OFF ITS WELDING POINT ON THE LEFT SIDE ON THE DRIVERS SEAT. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO 2005. THREE OF MY DOORS HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE BROKEN ACTUATORS. THESE DOORS DON'T LOCK BY ANY MEANS OTHER THEN MANUALLY PUSHING THE LOCK TO THE CLOSE POSITION. I HAVE OPENED A "FILE" WITH NISSAN BUT THEY HAVE STATED THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN UNDERSTAND ONE GOING BAD BUT THREE MEANS THERE IS A DEEPER ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO? THANKS. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR ON 2005 MURANO HAS LOST ITS ABILITY TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION RELIABLY, CAUSING IT TO DROP INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT FREQUENTLY AND WITH NO NOTICE, CAUSING A TOTAL OBSCURITIES OF THE ROAD. HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE RAMPANT IN THIS MODEL CAR. ONLY SOLUTION FROM DEALER IS TO CHARGE AN OUTRAGEOUS $400 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER OF MY 12 CARS OWNED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE FUEL SENSOR BECAME DEFECTIVE AND THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS WERE COVERED WITH RUST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR DISPLAYED THAT THERE WAS GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE BUT THEN THE SENSOR WOULD DISPLAY THAT IT WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AND THAT THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST WHICH WAS $500. THE COST FOR THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS WAS $280. THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 160000. THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 170000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVERS SEAT SUDDENLY STARTED TO ROCK TO THE RIGHT. DISCOVERED THE METAL BRACKET HOLDING THE DRIVERS SEAT TO THE RAILS ON THE LEFT SIDE IS COMPLETELY SNAPPED IN TWO. DEALER WANTS $1000 TO FIX. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SUN VISOR IN 2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH 55K MILES DOESN'T STAY UP ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS STARTED HAPPENING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT'S LOOSE WHEN IN THE UP POSITION, AND IF THE CAR HITS A BUMP, IT FALLS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH IT DOWN ALL THE TIME, AND QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN IT'S UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN FALLS WHEN DRIVING. IT COSTS $375 FOR A REPLACEMENT VISOR. BOTH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THE CORPORATION REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE COST OF THE PART, AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT, ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH (AND THE LOCAL DEALER'S OWN ADMISSION), NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THIS ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, YET IS COST-PROHIBITIVE TO HAVE FIXED. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR DOESN'T STAY UP. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH 31,000 MILES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR MODULE AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD WITHOUT REPLACING IT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT WORK AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. I HAD TO PAY OVER $1000 OR HAVE NO AIRBAGS TO PROTECT MY WIFE AND CHILD. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR JUST COMES DOWN AND BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VISION. ALMOST REARENDED A SMALL CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR OF MY NISSAN MURANO KEEPS FALLING DOWN WHILE WE'RE DRIVING. IT BLOCKS THE VIEW SUDDENLY AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY DANGER. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO SUPPORT THIS. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO - 66K MILES. ALTERNATOR TENSION ARM SNAPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING, ALSO CAUSING A CRACK IN THE TIMING COVER. THERE HAD BEEN A SQUEAKING NOISE IN THE DAYS LEADING UP THE FAILURE. ONCE THE ARM BROKE THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW. THE TENSION ARM, BRACKET, BELTS AND TIMING COVER NEED TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE THE TIMING COVERS PLACEMENT, IT WILL REQUIRE PULLING THE ENGINE OUT. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. IT HAS 63500 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE ABOUT TO FAIL BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THESE SHOULD NOT BE FAILING WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILES ON THE VEHICLE. NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP ME WITH THESE REPAIRS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT BRACKET BROKE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED; AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER SEAT WAS CAPABLE OF MOVING BACK AND FORTH INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WOULD OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WHEN THE CONTACT CALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CONTINUED FALLING FROM ITS HOUSING UNTIL THE VISOR WAS TIED IN PLACE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

MY WIFE DRIVES A 2005 NISSAN MURANO AND RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THEY WORK AND OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF MY WIFE IS IN AN AREA OF SOME CONCERN THAT THERE IS A WAY TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS. IN AN EMERGENCY THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK WHEN YOU NEED THEM TO. SINCE THE ONLY DOOR WITH A KEY HOLE IS THE DRIVERS DOOR, IF THERE SHOULD BE A SITUATION WERE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER SHOULD NEED TO RUSH IN THE CAR, THIS WOULD BE A PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DOOR ACTUATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME THAT THE ACTUATORS AREN'T SOLD SEPARATELY BUT THAT THE HOLE ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE PURCHASED AT $409.00 EACH. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WAY TO GREATLY OVER CHARGE. I THINK THAT IF THERE WASN'T A DEFECT IT WOULD BE AN ISOLATED ISSUE BUT WHEN THEY ALL START MALFUNCTIONING AT THE SAME TIME, THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER CONCERNED THAT THIS JUST DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT I STARTED TO RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS TO BE HAPPENING TO SEVERAL NISSAN VEHICLES. IF THIS PART IS CAUSING DIFFICULTIES THEN NISSAN SHOULD MAKE THE PART SIMPLE TO REPLACE. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED INTO THE COST OF SOME DOOR ACTUATORS ON THE INTERNET AND FIND THEM TO RANGE AROUND $25.00. SINCE I'M NOT A MECHANIC I DON'T KNOW IF THE PART CAN BE PURCHASED OUTSIDE OF NISSAN AND WOULD STILL WORK. THANK YOU *TR

THE FRAME ON MY SEAT OF MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO BROKE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND MY CLOSEST DEALER. THE DEALER INSPECTED IT, TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS A BULLETIN ON THE FRAME REPAIR. THEY SUGGESTED TO NISSAN THAT THEY REPLACE IT. I ALSO WAS IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN AND HAVE A FILE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. AFTER 15 DAYS THEY DENIED REPAIRING THE FAULTY SEAT FRAME. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS SAFE. I ALSO DO NOT FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AS IT IS A DEFECT AND DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THE MONEY TO COVER THE REPAIR. YOU ASKED FOR AN APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE, THIS SEAT HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS. IT'S A VERY HARD PROBLEM TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THE WEIGHT OF THE SEAT SETTLES DOWN ONTO THE BROKEN FRAME. THE TIME THAT I REPORTED IT WAS 15 DAYS AGO. NISSAN HAS A DETAILED FILE ON ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AND HAS REFUSED HELP. *TR

I HAVE AVOIDED ONE ACCIDENT AND HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS WHEN MY DRIVERS SIDE VISOR DROPPED IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY US19 IN PINELLAS COUNTY FLORIDA.MY ATTENTION WAS DIVERTED BY THE VISOR FALLING THAT I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.
