I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO SE. AS I WAS GOING 60 MPH IN THE FAST LANE DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE SEAT SNAPPED ,TILTED TO THE LEFT THEN LURCHED BACKWARD BECOMING UNSTABLE. I ALMOST LOSS CONTROL OF THE CAR AND INJURED MY BACK. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE BAR THAT IS IN THE LOWER BOTTOM OF THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE OFF AND THE SCREW THAT ANCHORS THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR BECAME UNSTABLE. I HAD TO FIND A WAY TO SECURE THE SEAT TO RIDE HOME AND LUCKY ME HAD SOME PATIO BRICKS IN THE BACK WHICH ARE NOW HOLDING THIS SEAT UP OTHERWISE IT WILL COLLAPSE. I CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME AND THEY DO NOT CARE. THE DEALER WANTS $1,800 TO FIX WHICH I COULD PUT DOWN FOR ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. ALSO , THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKE ,THE DIFFERENTIAL AND A LONG LIST OF MANY THINGS WITH THIS CAR. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR BUT THIS MODEL IS A NIGHTMARE. THEY COULD OFFER SOMETHING OF A DISCOUNT BUT TOO GREEDY. I COULD OF LOSS MY LIFE WITH THIS CAR BUT I AM LUCKY TO BE AN OLDER DRIVER AND EXPERIENCED. THE SEAT HAS NO SUPPORT AND WILL FALL OVER BACKWARD. THERE SHOULD BE A SOLUTION THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SUPPORT BAR IS THINNER THAN A DIME AND IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS COULD OF HAPPENED AT ANY TIME DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF HIGHWAY YOU TRAVEL NO MATTER THE MILEAGE OR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT LIKE THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL IMMEDIATELY AND SEEMED TO WORK VERY HARD TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR WAS THEN ACCOMPANIED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A PLANE LANDING THEN A LOUD BANG. THE BEHAVIOR OF THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE TRANSFER CASE TO FRACTURE. (THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY MY MECHANIC AND AGAIN BY THE NISSAN DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT). NISSAN HAS RECOGNIZED THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN A NUMBER OF ITS MODELS INCLUDING THE 2005 MURANO. AS A RESULT, NISSAN VEHICLES RANGING IN YEARS FROM 2003-2010 EQUIPPED WITH A CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) HAVE RECEIVED A 10-YEAR /120,000 MILE CVT LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION. UNFORTUNATELY THIS EXTENSION'' ONLY COVERS THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF AND NOT THE PARTS AROUND IT. I AM STUCK PAYING THE $3,400 TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE OR BE FORCED TO SELL THE CAR. NISSAN IS LEAVING THE ORIGINAL CVT IN MY MURANO AND I WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE IN THE SHOP PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR ANOTHER BREAKAGE THAT COULD BE AVOIDED BY A RECALL. I RAISED THIS ISSUE WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AFFAIRS AND WAS PROMPTLY TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED CVT WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT BE ASSISTING FINANCIALLY. THEY DID HOWEVER OFFER ME A $150 VOUCHER OFF OF THE INVOICED PRICE OF NEW NISSAN VEHICLE. THIS RESPONSE IS LAUGHABLE AND VERY INSULTING. I AM VERY INTERESTED IN BECOMING INVOLVED IN ANY LEGAL ACTIONS THAT WILL HASTEN A RECALL SO THAT OTHERS WILL NOT BE BURDENED BY THIS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND FINANCIALLY FLEECED BY NISSAN CORPORATION AMIDST AN ECONOMIC RECESSION. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THE MURANO IN PARTICULAR, I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE AND PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AND I WILL MOST CERTAINLY NOT BE THE LAST. *TT

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.
