2007 Nissan Murano Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the air bag warning light had been illuminated for several years. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the passenger air bag sensor was defective. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. TOOK IT TO AUTO SHOP AND THEY ARE STATING THE AIR BAG MODULE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. THE CAR HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO WHY WOULD IT NEED TO BE REPLACE?

DRIVER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN NORTON SHORES MI AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING.

OUR SON WAS LEAVING LONG POND, HARWICH MA RECREATIONAL PARKING LOT AT A REGULAR DRIVING SPEED, THERE ARE POT HOLES IN THE PARKING LOT THERE BUT HE DID NOT GO OVER THEM ANY FASTER OR SLOWER THAN NORMAL. THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF A FEW SECONDS AFTER GOING THROUGH ONE OF THE POT HOLES BUT HE DID NOT GO THROUGH THE POT HOLE ANY FASTER OR SLOWER THAN HE HAS BEEN THROUGH THE PARKING LOT BEFORE.

TAKATA RECALL THE ENGINE IN MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO STALLS AT ONE POINT IT SHUT IFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS BLINKG SO THERE A PEOBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEED CONTROL THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AND IT WILL NOT PASS 60

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT INVOLVING TOTALING THE ENTIRE CAR. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT NOT THE DRIVER AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION, GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR.

MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME THE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS I MOVE THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT. THEN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL SHUT OFF AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED FOR THE RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MANY MURANO'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. GERALD NISSAN IN NORTH AURORA, ILLINOIS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOSH NISSAN (LOCATED AT 525 BOSTON PROVIDENCE HWY, NORWOOD MA, 02062 (844) 464-3554), BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESET, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

MAIN CONTROL MODULE IS NOT WORKING, MECHANIC SAYS THE AIR BAGS MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A WRECK. WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THE MODULE WOULD COST 1100 DOLARS PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL.

2007 NISSAN MURANOS WERE PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL INVOLVING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. NISSAN STATES MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL, HOWEVER, IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. AT THIS TIME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT PUTING PASSENGERS AT RISK FOR INGURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH. THE VIN NUMBER SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE ASAP SO PASSANGERS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT AT RISK. THANK YOU! THE CONSUMER REQUESTED AN UPDATE. *JS

AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE BLINKING AFTER A PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS MOVING AROUND IN THE SEAT. I HAD IT CHECKED AT A BODY SHOP AND A CODE CAME UP (B 1049). DETECTS A AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS SENSOR AND (OR) AIR BAG MODULE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. I DON'T REMEMBER IF THE CAR WAS IN MOTION OR NOT.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MURANO THAT I BOUGHT USED 1.5 YEARS AGO. THERE ARE TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT THE CAR HAS AND FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS HAD TO RECALL THOUSANDS OF OTHER VEHICLES. I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IT'S JUST TOO COINCIDENTAL AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. RECALL NUMBER 09V169000 RECALL DATE 05/19/2009 COMPONENT ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE RESONATOR IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE, MAY SEPARATE FROM THE RESONATOR WITH ENGINE MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION OCCURS DUE TO THE PREMATURE AGING OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE SHRINKING. RECALL NUMBER 08V521000 RECALL DATE 10/07/2008 COMPONENT AIR BAGS SUMMARY NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU). CONSEQUENCE THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CODES MATCHED THOSE IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

DRIVER'S SEAT - THE BRACKET IN THE REAR LEFT THAT SUPPORTS THE SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. AIR BAGS - THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO AWAY. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEB. 2016, THE DEALER ASSURED ME IT WAS JUST A GLITCH IN THE DISPLAY. ENGINE - STARTED RUNNING ROUGH ABOUT A WEEK AGO, WHILE WE WERE HEADED OUT OF TOWN. CANCELLED THAT TRIP. THREW A "CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE" CODE. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THAT PLUG AND COIL AND IT CONTINUED TO RUN ROUGH. TODAY, IT OVERHEATED AND STARTED DUMPING FLUID ON THE GROUND. THE SUSPENSION IS ALSO FAILING. WHEN WE HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE, IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL OFF. I LOVED THIS CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT AND WHEN IT RUNS RIGHT, BUT RIGHT NOW, I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED. I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR TWO MONTHS. I FEEL LIKE WE WERE ROBBED AND WE AREN'T IN THE FINANCIAL STANDING TO REPLACE IT.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY AIRBAG ICON STARTED TO BLINK. CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO CONNECTED. MY WIFE USES THIS VEHICLES WITH MY KIDS. CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.

PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. COST OF REPAIR IS $3950 AT 77.5K MILES. ON JUNE 30, 2014 WE NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY REPAIR FACILITY PAYING $99 FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHO SAID THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT AND THEY RECOMMENDED WE WORK WITH NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD ASSIST THROUGH A RECALL OR OTHER MEANS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS HALF THE VALUE OF THE ENTIRE CAR WHICH ONLY HAS 77.5K MILES. I WENT TO ARLINGTON NISSAN AND PAID ANOTHER $120 FOR SAME DIAGNOSIS. I HAD AN OPEN TICKET WITH NISSAN ASKING THEM TO ESCALATE THE SITUATION TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL HELP IN GETTING THIS REPAIR DONE FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF MY FAMILY AND KNOWING OTHER CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. ON 7-9-2014 I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN SUPERVISOR (SUE) THE SAME THAT ALL OTHERS HAD TOLD ME, THEY UNFORTUNATELY CAN DO NOTHING TO ASSIST WITH THIS SITUATION EVEN THOUGH THEY EMPATHIZE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIR ISSUES WHEN THE CAR REACHED 5 YEARS AND THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR THIS CAR IS HORRENDOUS. (I.E. HEADLIGHT $200+, DRIVER SEAT $4000, ETC...) I INFORMED THEM THAT I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT, I WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW MY BAD EXPERIENCES WITH NISSAN, AND THAT I WILL NEVER BE PURCHASING A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

3 YEAR OLD CHILD WAS APPROPRIATELY BUCKLED INTO CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT. SHE MANAGED TO REACH THE SEAT BELT AND PUT IT AROUND HER NECK. HER OLDER BROTHER NOTICED THIS AND STARTED YELLING AT MOTHER WHO WAS DRIVING. MOTHER PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT BUT IT HAD LOCKED. MOTHER FLAGGED DOWN PASSERBYS. FORTUNATELY, THIS OCCURRED ON A US MILITARY BASE OVERSEAS WHERE FIRST AID KITS ARE REQUIRED IN ALL VEHICLES INCLUDING TRAUMA SHEARS. THE TRAUMA SHEARS WERE USED TO CUT THE SEAT BELT AWAY FROM HER NECK. THE CHILD DID SUSTAIN BRUISING AND INJURIES TO BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK OF HER NECK, BUT NO LONG TERM PROBLEMS. THIS IS A PHYSICIAN WHO IS FILING THE REPORT AS I EVALUATED THE CHILD FOR HER INJURIES. *TR

WENT IN FOR HIGH PRESSURE HOSE REPLACEMENT AND CAME OUT WITH AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. DEALER (WOLFCHASE NISSAN) WOULD NOT OWN UP TO IT BEING A PROBLEM. FRUSTRATED THAT NISSAN DID NOT RECALL THE 07 AS THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL CARS, ETC WITH THAT SAME SPECIFICATION INSTEAD OF A FEW. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS HAVE COMPLAINED BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE FOR THE 07 MODELS. SHOULD A CONSUMER HAVE TO LOSE A LIFE DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR OR WHATEVER THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHIONS OR MODULES? NISSAN KNEW THE ISSUE EXIST BUT DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO THIS RECALL. I'M BEGGING FOR AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE HAVE LOST LIVES DUE TO ERRORS WITH THE AIR BAG AND I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO BE THE NEXT VICTIM. IF DEALER EXPECTS ME TO PAY $1200.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT CAUSE, THEY ARE TRULY MISTAKEN. I WILL RAISE MY VOICE TO THE HEAVENS BEFORE THAT HAPPEN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. *TR

AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2007 MURANO FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER, MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE THEM TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE NEEDED REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME ALMOST $3000.00 TO FIX THE AIRBAG SENSOR. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BUT I AM WONDERING WHY THE 07 AND 08 MODEL YEAR MURANOS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS HOW THE INITIAL RECALL LOOKS INCLUDING THE 07, 08, AND 09 MURANOS- VEHICLE MAKE / MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): INFINITI / EX35 2008 INFINITI / G35 2007-2008 INFINITI / G37 2008 NISSAN / 350Z 2007-2008 NISSAN / ALTIMA 2007-2008 NISSAN / ALTIMA HYBRID 2007-2008 NISSAN / MURANO 2007-2009 NISSAN / ROGUE 2008 FOLLOWED BY THE SUMMARY OF THE RECALL THAT EXPLAINS THE EXACT PROBLEM BUT EXCLUDES THE 2007-2008 MURANO MODELS. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET NISSAN TO EXTEND THE RECALL FOR THE REST OF US THAT GOT LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL PROCESS. THE SAME SYSTEM WAS USED IN THE 2007-2008 MURANOS BUT NOT SURE HOW THEY WERE LEFT OUT.??? *TR
