ON 3/19/19 I WAS DRIVING DOING ABOUT 37 MILES AS I STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN MADE A LEFT TURN . UPON MAKING THAT TURN I HEARD A LOUD POP INTO MY LEFT EAR AND A BURNING SENSATION ON MY LEFT ARM AND THE BACK OF MY SHOULDER . I BECAME DIZZY AND BLURRED VISION I HELD MY COMPOSURE AND PULLED INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION I STRUGGLED TO GET THE DOOR OPEN I NOTICED ALL AIRBAGS EXPLODED EXCEPT THE TWO FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER BAGS . I RECEIVED BURNS AND BRUISING ON MY MY LEFT ARM NECK AND THE SIDE OF MY FACE . THERE WAS NEVER AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGING IMPACT DONE TO THE VEHICLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED I HAD TO PAY FOR THE PART AND LABOR THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THESE CARS AIRBAGS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

STARTED THE ENGINE ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO BEFORE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND REMAINED ON EVER SINCE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SO THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND CHARGED A $75.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. BUT AS SOON AS THE TECHNICIAN RETURNED WITH THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. HE TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR AREA AND AFTER 2 HOURS HE CAME BACK AND SAID THE AIRBAG COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING AND IS NOT ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $1500.00 TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG COMPUTER WHICH MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY AS AIR BAGS ARE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES WHICH SHOULD NOT JUST RANDOMLY MALFUNCTION ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS WHATSOEVER. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND HE SAID NO, I ALSO ASKED IF THIS IS RECURRENT PROBLEM FOR OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND HE RESPONDED THAT HE DOES SEE THIS PROBLEM QUITE OFTEN WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.

WHEN VEHICAL IS IN MOTION THE SENSOR LIGHT FOR SEAT BEATS CONTINUE TO FLASH ALL THE TIME AND THERE IS THE SENSOR LIGHT FOR TIRES FLASHES AND STAYS ON NEVER GOING OFF. BOTH LITTLE LIGHT ON DASH BOARD. MY CAR IS PEELING ITS CLEAR COATING ON THE TOP OF TRUNK OPENING BYTHE 3RD LIGHT.

MY NISSAN MURANO SEAT BELT AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY WHEN I SNAP MY SEAT BELT THIS IS WHILE THE VEHICAL IS IN MOTION. WHILE AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE I WAS TOLD BY TECHNICIAN THAT THERE IS NO HORN SOUND ON THE VEHICAL.WHEN I TAPPED THE HORN IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT JUST APPEARED ON ONE DAY. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF MAJOR ACCIDENT. HAD CONCERN AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT FOR SOME UNREAL AMOUNT TO REPAIR OF WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE REPAIRED. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE RECALL ON THESE AIRBAGS ON THE NISSAN, I'M REALLY CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY IT WILL JUST INFLATE AND CAUSE INJURY TO ME WHILE DRIVING. IS THERE A RECALL ON AIR BAGS ON THIS VEHICLE I SAW ON THE NEWS TODAY (7/12/17) THERE IS A RECALL ON ADDITIONAL NISSAN VEHICLES. AM I ABLE TO TAKE VEHICLE IN AND HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE? PLEASE ADVISE ASAP.

DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPAIRED THREE TIMES ACCORDING TO NISSAN TECH SPECS AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON. NISSAN NA TOLD ME THEY KNOW SOME MURANOS HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT.

AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING CONSTANTLY AND HAVE NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE BACK SEAT BELT LOCKS DO NOT WORK NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THAT THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BLINKING INDICATED THAT ALL OR SOME AIR BAGS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD POP. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING JUST SITTING THERE. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP SIGN, AS THE TIRES HIT THE DRAINAGE RUT IN THE ROAD, I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING THROWN FROM MY SEAT. THE LOUD POP WAS THE SHEARING OF A METAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENT ON THE SEAT TRACK UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT WAS SO MUCH THAT, HAD I BEEN REAR ENDED, MY HEAD WOULD HIT THE FRAME ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD OR THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. NISSAN CHARGED ME $1700 FOR THE REPAIR, CLAIMING I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, NISSAN CORPORATION REFUSES TO COVER ANY COST OF THE REPAIR. WHEN CONTACTED, THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMPONENT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THE SEAT BELT ALSO BECAME ABNORMALLY TIGHT AROUND HER CHILD. AS A RESULT, THE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE CHILD AND AVOID SUFFOCATION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHILD HAD BRUISES ON HIS STOMACH BUT WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

HORN STOPPED WORKING, AIR BAG LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME. NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THESE PARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE HAD RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE LAST TWO TIMES THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS FIXED. THE WHOLE PASSENGER SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED THE SECOND TIME. NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS FLASHING AGAIN. I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT A LOT OF DRIVERS ARE HAVING WITH THEIR MURANO'S AIR BAGS. I HAVE TRIED RESETTING BY TURNING THE CAR "ON" AND "OFF" SEVERAL TIME AND AS WELL AS REMOVING THE BATTERY. NOTHING HAS WORKED, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DEALER TO FIX IT AGAIN.

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE IT WAS NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON THE CONSOLE. ON 12/8/2010 CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WRIGHT AUTOMOTIVE - WEXFORD, PA, AND SERVICE AGENT ADVISED THE EARLIEST THEY COULD SEE THE VEHICLE WAS12/13/2010 AND THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY WHILE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. UPON TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE AGENT ADVISED HE HAS NOT SEEN THIS ISSUE IN THE 2 YEARS HE'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP AND ADVISED THERE IS NO RECALL OR KNOWN TSB. SERVICE ORDER INDICATED A CODE OF B1054 WHICH MEANS 'DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG OPEN'. THUS, THEY RECOMMENDED 'REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE' FOR A TOTAL COST OF $371.88. I PAID $69.95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, $197 SPIRAL CABLE, AND $18.69 TAX AND PENDING PAYMENT OF $104.93 LABOR COST TO REPLACE PART. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE WEB THE FOLLOWING WAS UNCOVERED: SEVERAL MURANO OWNERS, CROSSING MODEL YEARS, HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND TWO SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS. THE FIRST SOLUTION STATES TO PERFORM A RESET BY TURNING THE VEHICLE FROM 'OFF' TO 'ON' THREE TIMES WHILE COUNTING TO 5 DURING THE 'OFF' TIME. THIS SOLUTION WORKED FOR SEVERAL OWNERS. THE SECOND SOLUTION IDENTIFIED BY ONE OWNER SAID REPLACEMENT OF THE 'SEAT BELT PRE TENSIONER', WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR A 2005 MURANO, SOLVED THE IDENTIFIED ISSUE. WE CHOOSE TO PERFORM A SELF 'RESET' ON 12/13/2010 WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENT TO DEALERSHIP ANALYSIS PAYMENT OF $266.95 (DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND SPECIAL PART ORDER). UPON DISCUSSING THE 'RESET' WITH NISSAN SERVICE AGENT, HE SUGGESTED EITHER RETURN SPECIAL ORDER PART AND PAY RESTOCKING FEE OR KEEP THE PART SINCE HE BELIEVES THE LIGHT WILL BEGIN FLASHING AGAIN. SINCE PERFORMING THE 'RESET' THE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT HAS NOT RETURNED. NISSAN NEEDS TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND ISSUE A RECALL OR IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THEN NISSAN SHOULD DOCUMENT A TSB SOLUTION.
