2017 Nissan Murano Air Bags & Restraints Problems

When going over a curb, the passenger rear seat belt disengaged and pulled the forward facing car seat up to the side.

We had an accident on January 4. We were rear ended and pushed it to the vehicle in front of us. The truck that hit us was going about 65 miles an hour. Our vehicle is totaled. No air bags deployed and my seat did not engage.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, while the brake pedal was depressed, it floored, and the vehicle failed to stop. Additionally, another vehicle hit the contact's vehicle on the driver's side; however, the air bags failed to deploy. The contact and her son were injured and received medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to a repair center. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number 19V807000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,738.

I was in a broadside collision. The front end of my car collided with the side of another car. I was going approximately 30-35 mph at time of impact. I had my seat belt on. The airbags failed to deploy and seat belt did not lock resulting in being thrown forward and impacting the steering wheel. The car sustained severe frontal damage and is a total loss from the insurance company. The car has been well maintained and was serviced by Nissan exclusively. I had no warning lights on prior to the accident occurring.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the front passenger’s side seat belt had remained locked in the reclined position with the seat belt message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer nor an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 73,319.

LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS PUTTING UP BARRIERS TO MY RECALL REPAIR. ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, I WAS TOLD THAT 'WE DON'T DO RECALL REPAIRS ON THE WEEKEND'. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEIR LABOR COSTS ON THE WEEKEND ARE MY PROBLEM. I CALLED ON A MONDAY MORNING WHEN I WAS ON VACATION FROM WORK. NOT ONLY COULD THE SERVICE MANAGER NOT CONFIRM FOR ME WHETHER THEY HAD THE NECESSARY PARTS ON HAND TO REPAIR MY RECALL...SHE ALSO SAID THEY ONLY DO IT BY APPOINTMENT AND NEED 1 WEEKS NOTICE!! SO I AM BEING EXPECTED TO BRING MY CAR IN TWICE (ONCE FOR THEM TO 'LOOK AT IT AND CONFIRM I'M ON THE RECALL LIST, AND A 2ND TIME TO GET THE REPAIR DONE). HOW IS IT THAT THE MANUFACTURER MAKES A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, YET I AM EXPECTED TO JUMP THROUGH ALL THESE HOOPS, TAKE TIME OFF OF WORK (VACATION TIME) TO MEET ALL OF THEIR TERMS OF FIXING A MISTAKE THAT NISSAN MADE. BUT HEY, THEY WERE SURE TO GET THOSE NOTICES MAILED OUT SUPER FAST, TO GIVE ME THE IMPRESSION THEY CARED ABOUT MY SPOUSES LIFE/DEATH RISK EVERY DAY WHEN SHE DRIVES A FLAWED PRODUCT TO/FROM WORK. SO UNACCOMMODATING AND ARROGANT OF NISSAN TO PUT THEIR CUSTOMERS THROUGH THIS GAUNTLET.

WITHIN WARRANTY TIME FRAME OF VEHICLE - SEATBELT FABRIC ROLLS INSIDE OF MALE SLIDING END MECHANISM ON DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEATBELT WHEN PULLED FROM THE LEFT OVER TO THE RIGHT AND INTO THE FEMALE END. RESULTING IN INSUFFICIENT TIGHTNESS ACROSS LAP, AND "STUCK" FABRIC THAT NEEDS TO BE MANUALLY UNFOLDED AND "UNSTUCK" FROM WITHIN THE MALE END SLIDING BELT MECHANISM. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY TO MULTIPLE DRIVERS. DOES NOT OCCUR IN PASSENGER SIDE OR REAR SEATBELTS. HAPPENS WHEN PUTTING SEAT BELT ON BEFORE DRIVING. HAVE HAD IT REPLACED, AND CHECKED THREE TIMES AT DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. BUT IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR DAILY. MAY BE DEFECTIVE FABRIC OR RETRACTABLE MECHANISM?

TAKATA INFLATORS, THIS COMPLAINT MAY BE RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS RECALLS BUT I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS NOT DEFLATING IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30MPH. I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY ROAD WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED LEFT FROM THE RIGHT LANE CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND OUR VEHICLES COLLIDED.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2017.5 NISSAN MURANO OCT 14 2017 ONE WEEK LATER THE SRS LIGHT COMES LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND STAYS ON. AFTER THREE TRIPS BACK AND MULTIPLE PARTS REPLACED INCLUDING SENSOR FOR SEATBELT CONNECTOR THAT WAS NOT ATTACHED PROPERLY AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SRS SYSTEM. TODAY 97 DAYS LATER I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INDEED DEFECTIVE AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE FACTORY HAD NOT CONNECTED THE HARNESS THAT CONNECTS TO THE AIRBAGS WHICH WAS CAUSING MY SRS LIGHT TO COME ON CONTINUOUSLY. I AM VERY SAD AND UPSET THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND I AM IN PROCESS OF FILING A CLAIM WITH THE NISSAN CORPORATION CONSUMER DEPARTMENT FOR A BUY BACK OF MY VEHICLE.
