MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO LOCKS TO ALL FOUR DOORS, TRUNK AND GAS TANK MALFUNCTION FREQUENTLY. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED WITH NO GAS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE GAS TANK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THERE IS NO "KEY" OPENING FOR THE GAS TANK, HATCH IN THE BACK OR 3 PASSENGER DOORS-ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ACTUATORS REPLACED ONCE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND NOW THEY ARE BROKEN AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WE CAN NOT BE SURE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED, CAN NOT OBTAIN GAS, CAN NOT ACCESS THE TRUNK AREA, OR UNLOCK PASSENGER DOORS ON FREQUENT BASIS. SOMETIMES, THEY WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THE COST TO REPLACE THE ACTUATORS IS AROUND $1600. THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BURDEN THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WHEN CLEARLY THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR. THERE ARE SO MANY MURANO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE ACTUATORS FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

WHILE TURNING RIGHT WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD POP UNDERNEATH MY SEAT. UPON INVESTIGATING I DISCOVERED THAT THE BACK LEFT SIDE OF MY SEAT HAD BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE BRACKET. THE LEFT BACK OF THE SEAT REMAINS DISENGAGED FROM THE SEAT FRAME. I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER TODAY WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND WAS QUOTED $898.08 FOR A NEW SEAT FRAME (PART # 87450+A) AND AN ADDITIONAL $153-204 LABOR FOR INSTALLATION. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE MURANO AND THAT NISSAN NOW USES A NEWLY DESIGNED PART TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THE FACT THAT MY SEAT IS NOT FULLY ATTACHED IN MY CAR IS VERY CONCERNING AND CERTAINLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM A BIT SURPRISED BY THE FACT THAT THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WENT TO APPEARED TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF OR SEEN THIS ISSUE AND YET WHEN I WENT TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD QUOTED FOR THE PART 4 TIMES RECENTLY. HMMM. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN ONE DAY AND WILL NO LONGER STAY IN UP POSITION. IT MUST BE LEFT DOWN FLUSH AGAINST THE WINDOW WHICH OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE VISOR REPAIR IS COVERED BY MY WARRANTY BUT MY DEDUCTIBLE IS $200 AND TO FIX THE VISOR WITHOUT THE WARRANTY IS OVER $300. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVERS. PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOTTEN THEM REPLACED CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AND THE VISOR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH ONE THAT WORKS IN EVERY OTHER CAR. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS HERE AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT ANYONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

MY MURANO SL AWD 2005 JUST STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND ALSO WHILE IT WAS IDLING. IT WAS MOVING AND WHEN I GOT TO TRAFFIC, IT STALLED AND WOULDN'T BUDGE EVEN THOUGHT THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON.

NISSAN IS RECALLING 362,891 MY 2003-2007 MURANO VEHICLES. 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
Consequence: ENGINE MAY STALL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE/REPAIR THE APPROPRIATE COMPONENTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 114, "THEFT PROTECTION." DURING AN INSPECTION OF SOME VEHICLES AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED WITH THE IGNITION KNOB IN THE "OFF" POSITION BUT THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION NOT BEING IN THE "PARK" POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE "OFF" POSITION WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING IN THE "PARK" POSITION, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CAN LOCK WHEN TURNED TO THE RIGHT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 18, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, A FITTING FOR VAPOR RECIRCULATION, WHICH IS WELDED ON THE FUEL TANK, MAY COME OFF THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE INCORRECT MATERIAL WAS USED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL COMING ON AND MAY RESULT IN SOME FUEL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
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.
