2006 Nissan Murano

DRIVER SIDE SEAT MADE A POP SOUND AND NOW SEAT WOBBLES. VERY IRRITATED WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE THANKSGIVING 2013. WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN IN MY FUTURE! WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE DRIVER SEAT BREAKING, NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP AND SEND A RECALL TO HAVE THE SEATS REPLACED! I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SEATS BREAKING! *TR

SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD POP. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING JUST SITTING THERE. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP SIGN, AS THE TIRES HIT THE DRAINAGE RUT IN THE ROAD, I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING THROWN FROM MY SEAT. THE LOUD POP WAS THE SHEARING OF A METAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENT ON THE SEAT TRACK UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT WAS SO MUCH THAT, HAD I BEEN REAR ENDED, MY HEAD WOULD HIT THE FRAME ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD OR THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. NISSAN CHARGED ME $1700 FOR THE REPAIR, CLAIMING I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, NISSAN CORPORATION REFUSES TO COVER ANY COST OF THE REPAIR. WHEN CONTACTED, THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMPONENT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BECAME FRACTURED AND THE SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING FRACTURED FROM THE TRACK AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,800.

DRIVER SIDE SEAT IS MOVING SIDE TO SIDE AFTER SEARCHING FOR "LOOSE DRIVER SEAT NISSAN MURANO" PAGES OF VIDEOS AND COMPLAINTS CAME UP OF THE SEAT MOUNT BREAKING. AFTER LOOKING MINE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF METAL FATIGUE. ALL THE ARTICLES SHOW THAT IT IS NOW COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. MOST PEOPLE QUOTED 1000$ FOR REPAIR. PART ALONE 750$ A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE RESORTED TO TAKING IT TO WELDING SHOPS BECAUSE OF THE COST. I DON'T WANT THIS PART TO BREAK WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING WHEN IT SNAPS. CAN'T IMAGINE HOW SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM CAN BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY NISSAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

NOTICED SEAT WAS TILTED TO LEFT AND WOBBLY. UPON ACCELERATING OR MAKING TURNS THE SEAT WOULD ACTUALLY ROTATE SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE SEAT. TOOK TO DEALER IN FEB AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE REPLACED "ALOT OF THEM" AND GAVE US AN ESTIMATE OF $1555.79 PLUS TAX TO REPAIR. WHEN ASKED ABOUT A RECALL DUE TO POTENTIAL DANGER, TECHNICIAN ACKNOWLEDGED DANGER BUT SIMPLY SAID HIS HANDS WERE TIED BECAUSE NO RECALL HAD BEEN MADE. GAVE US NUMBER FOR NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT TOLD US TO EXPECT A DENIAL, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE RECEIVED. REVIEW OF INTERNET COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA WEBSITE REVEALED MANY OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND SOME WHO FACED SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF IT. THANKFULLY, NO ONE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN HURT YET, BUT THE POTENTIAL IS CERTAINLY THERE. WANTED TO ADD OUR EXPERIENCE TO THE PUBLIC DIALOG WITH THE HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL RECONSIDER ITS POSITION.

WHILE DRIVING MY 8YR OLD DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND IN THE MURANO, I WENT AROUND A LONG LEFT HAND BEND GOING 45 IN A 50MPH AREA - THE BACK LEFT BRACKET UNDER MY SEAT JUST SNAPPED, WHICH IN TURN MADE ME LEAN BACK AND TO THE LEFT, OF COURSE THIS THEN EFFECTED MY STEERING AND FOR A BRIEF INSTANT PULLED ME INTO THE OPPOSING LANE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I MANAGED TO CORRECT MY POSITION ON THE ROAD. THIS BRACKET HAS SINCE BEEN REDESIGNED ON THE MORE RECENT MURANO'S TO BE MUCH STRONGER AND BASICALLY LOOKS AND WORKS LIKE THE OTHER 3 BRACKETS (THAT DON'T SNAP). THE BRACKET THAT SNAPPED ON MY CAR IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHERS IT'S A JOKE - AND SO DANGEROUS. I DID TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN DURHAM NC - BUT THEY TOLD ME A STRAIGHT UP "NO" WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX OR DO ANY KIND OF RECALL. (I GUESS THERE HAVE TO BE MORE COMPLAINTS/INJURIES/DEATHS BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE). MANY INSTANCES OF THIS CAN ALSO BE FOUND ONLINE, BUT ALL SEEM TO RECEIVE THE SAME ANSWER FROM NISSAN - "NO" . *TR

DURING DRIVING ON FREEWAY, MY DRIVERS SEAT MADE A LOUD SNAP NOISE, THE SEAT BROKE ,AND DIPPED BACK AND DOWN TO THE LEFT. MY BODY WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME, I WAS SITTING STILL. IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE AS THE SEAT BROKE IT CAUSED ME TO TURN MY DRIVERS WHEEL AND SWERVE ON THE FREEWAY, INTO THE NEXT LANE !!!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS !!! *TR
