I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE LEFT SIDE OF MY SEAT TILTED SUDDENLY, THROWING ME OFF BALANCE AND CAUSING MY BACK TO TWIST. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY, AND FOUND THAT THE SEAT WAS UNSTABLE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO SHOWED ME WHERE THE WELD HAD FAILED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT. AS ADVISED, I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER, WHO INDICATED THAT QUOTE "THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH WE KEEP IN STOCK." THEY INDICATED THE COST WAS $660 PLUS THE COST OF INSTALLATION, AS MY CAR IS 3000 MILES OVER THE GENERAL WARRANTY LIMIT. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT INJURED, THIS SEAT IS NOW UNSAFE, AS IT IS ONLY PARTIALLY ANCHORED TO THE FLOOR. ADDITIONAL STRESS IS ON THE REMAINING WELD, AND IT CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME. ADDITIONALLY, ANY IMPACT CAN CAUSE THE SEAT TO BECOME UNANCHORED. I AM CONTACTING NISSAN CORPORATE TOMORROW, BUT FEEL THAT THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS. *TR

THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT I WROTE TO NISSAN REGARDING MY BROKEN DRIVER'S SEAT CHAIR (LEFT SIDE) IN MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO: I AM A SCIENCE TEACHER, AND AS I DROVE HOME FROM SCHOOL ON FRIDAY FEB 27TH, 2009. I HEARD A SNAP, AND SUDDENLY FELT A DROP IN THE DRIVER SEAT IN MY 2005 MURANO. GIVEN THE DRASTIC DROP, I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO SWERVE INTO THE NEXT LANE, NEARING COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS PANICKED BUT MANAGED TO NEGOTIATE TO THE EXIT OF THE FREEWAY. I PUT MYSELF, MY PASSENGER WHO CARPOOLS, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN SERIOUS DANGER. I AM SURE YOU WOULD AGREE THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE (HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV/). THIS MORNING I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH CERRITOS NISSAN, WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND SPOKE TO TOD AND ED, THE SERVICE MANAGERS, IN PERSON. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, AND THAT IS EXTREMELY RARE AND UNCOMMON. YET, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON YOUR WEBSITE AND OTHER VALID SOURCES, I FOUND FREQUENT COMPLAINTS THAT IDENTIFIED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. ED HAS ADVISED ME TO CONTACT YOU FOR ASSISTANCE AND THAT HE IS WILLING TO HONOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AT NO COST TO ME SHOULD THE NISSAN CORPORATION HANDLE THIS PROBLEM. MY FAMILY HAS PURCHASED OVER 8 NISSAN VEHICLES OVER THE LAST 10-15 YEARS, AND THIS PROBLEM HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MY CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCE AND NOW MY CARPOOL MEMBER AND I ARE RELEGATED TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, OR RENT A VEHICLE. THE EXTRA COST ON OUR TEACHER'S SALARY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WE WORK VERY FAR AND START AT 5:30 IN THE MORNING. IN ADDITION, WE SOMETIMES MUST LEAVE WORK LATE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AT HOME OR MY CELL. YOUR EXPEDITED ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

OUR 2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH JUST OVER 44K MILES HAS A BROKEN DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME. WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS AND CONSIDER OUR USE TO HAVE BEEN NORMAL. I AM 200 LBS AND MY WIFE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS AND SHE IS THE MAIN DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT ACTUALLY BROKE WHILE MY WIFE WAS GETTING IN, NOT WHILE DRIVING. IT APPEARS TO BE THE WHERE THE BACK LEFT SUPPORT CONNECTS. THE SEAT STILL HAS NORMAL ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS BUT NOW, THE SEAT IS NOT STEADY WHILE DRIVING. ON RIGHT TURNS, THE SEAT MOVE UP AND TO THE RIGHT. IT THEN SETTLES BACK INTO POSITION WHEN THE CAR RETURNS TO STRAIGHT. THE SEAT WILL REQUIRE MAINTENANCE AS I DON'T CONSIDER IT TO BE SAFE. IT SEEMS PART FAILURE ON A PART THAT SHOULD BE EXTREMELY DURABLE. *TR

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.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON SOME SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, IN CERTAIN HIGH SPEED FRONTAL CRASHES, THE WEBBING OF A REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELT MAY CONTACT THE REAR SEAT BACK HINGE WHERE IT CAN BE CUT BY THE SHARP EDGE OF THE METAL PORTION OF THE HINGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WEBBING IS COMPLETELY SEPARATED, IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO AN OCCUPANT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL PROTECTORS OVER THE WEBBING OF THE REAR SEAT BELTS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE FUEL TANK, IN THE EVENT THAT A VEHICLE FRONT TIRE RUNS OVER A SMALL, SHARP OBJECT IN THE ROAD, CATCHES IT AND PROPELS IT TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT MAY STRIKE AND PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A PUNCTURED TANK COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL PROTECTORS IN FRONT OF THE TANK FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A WIRE BREAKING INSIDE THE ALTERNATOR COULD STOP THE BATTERY FROM CHARGING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS HAPPENS, THE CHARGER WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LAMPS WILL IMMEDIATELY COME ON AND THE BATTERY WILL BEGIN TO DISCHARGE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE ENGINE WILL GO INTO A "FALL SAFE" CONDITION WHICH WILL LIMIT VEHICLE SPEED. THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH A NEW VERSION WHICH HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO PREVENT MOVEMENT OF THE COIL. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 1, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
