2006 Nissan Murano

THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY BASICALLY BLEW OUT OF THIS LOVINGLY USED NISSAN MURANO. THIS CAUSED A POWER STEERING "WHINE" WHEN TURNING AND MADE TURNING DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE. FURTHER DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE BLOW OUT VICE SLOW BREAK IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED THE AMOUNT OF POWER STEERING FLUID AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM. NATURALLY, AS THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY, NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER COST NOR CONSIDER A REDUCTION IN REPAIR/REPLACEMENT FEES. THIS IS A BIG-TIME HISTORICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND YEAR OF THIS NISSAN. LOCAL DEALERSHIPS SAY THAT THEY REPLACE ABOUT TWO OF THESE PER WEEK ON AVERAGE, AND THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SIMILAR STORIES OF REPAIRS COSTING IN EXCESS OF $600. THIS REPAIR COST ME A TOTAL OF $650 DOLLARS AND A REAL LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THE NISSAN PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND I HEARD A CRACK NOISE AND THE DRIVER SEAT JUST FELL BACK AND LEAN BACK TO THE LEFT. THE SEATING JUST FREELY FALLS BACK. I PULLED OVER AND LOOK UNDERNEATH AND SAW THAT THERE IS THIS LITTLE BAR, SLIMMER THAN MY PINKY FINGER, WHICH WAS SUPPORT THE SEAT BROKE. WHEN I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED, I WAS SHOCKED TO WHAT I SAW, A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.THIS EXPERIENCE WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. TO KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY BAR SUPPORTING THE SEAT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT, I AM REALLY SHOCKED AND REALLY HOPE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE FOR NISSAN TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR SOME PEOPLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, STEERING LEVEL SENSOR AND THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V401000 (STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE) OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY) DID AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,430 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000. UPDATED 03/16/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED A MONTH AFTER THE FUEL TANK AND SENSOR WAS FIXED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT SENSOR WAS READING AN ERROR. UPDATED 0604/12

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MILES PER HOURS THE SUN DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY LOWERED FROM THE "UP" POSITION, COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY THEN THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION AT ALL. I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR IN ORDER TO SEE, BUT I AM THEN BLINDED BY THE SUN AT TIMES CREATING AN EQUALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE VISOR, JUST A FORCED REPLACEMENT AT $300.00. *TR

JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE BEEN READING, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT GAS IN MY MURANO I'M UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN BY THE NOZZLE. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET A FULL TANK OF GAS IS TO KEEP CLICKING CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL IT'S FULL. HOWEVER, NOW I HAVE A LOT OF BACK SPLASH OF GAS AND TO ME THIS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHERS. NISSAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT OR DEATH. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURED PROBLEM THEN IT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY AND RESPECTIVELY. I WENT BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THE PROBLEM AND THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS GIVEN TO TRY DIFFERENT PUMPS, HOLD THE TRIGGER GENTLY, AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE IT WILL DO THIS MORE OFTEN. WHAT TYPE OF RESOLUTION IS THIS?????? *TR
