2007 Nissan Murano

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SIDE LEFT WELD BRACKET BROKE ON MY SEAT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS CAR AND I AM A FEMALE WEIGHING 140 POUNDS. I DON'T THINK THAT IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT FOR A SEAT TO HOLD. THIS HAS CREATED A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME... AND IT'S GOING TO COST ME AROUND $1200 TO FIX. THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME... I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T NISSAN STEPPED IN AND ISSUED A RECALL TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I'M THINKING OF GETTING RID OF THIS CAR AND MOVING ON... I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT NISSAN MADE A QUALITY VEHICLE THAT WAS BUILT TO LAST AND SAFE, BUT WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE IS SAFE THAT CAN'T SAFELY HOLD A 140 POUND FEMALE INTO HER SEAT??? WAKE UP NISSAN AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!!! *TR

THE DRIVER-SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO AFTER NORMAL USE ONLY. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT BROKE WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. SINCE THE SEAT DROPS SUDDENLY WHEN THE FRAME BREAKS, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN DID NOT OFFER TO REPAIR THE SEAT. THEY TOLD ME THE PART ALONE COSTS $950 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN ORDER THE PART. *KB

I HATE TO COMPLAIN AND I'VE NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE, BUT SOME TYPE OF MOTION HAS TO BE ENFORCED WITH THE NISSAN MURANO LINE OF VEHICLES. THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I HAVE CHOSEN TO LIST THE MOST HAZARDOUS AND FRUSTRATING ONES. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS RECALLED. MONTHS BEFORE A RECALL WAS FINALLY ENFORCED, I ALMOST GOT SEVERELY HURT AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN THE AIR EXHAUST HOSE SLIPPED OFF ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO, WHICH CAUSED IT TO COMPLETELY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THROUGH THE STOPLIGHT. THE SECOND ISSUE WILL ALSO CAUSE NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES/DEATHS IF A RECALL IS NOT ENFORCED. MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT AND 1,000S OF OTHERS' DRIVER SIDE SEATS HAVE A COLLAPSED REAR BRACKET WHICH CAUSES THE SEAT TO MOVE BACK IN FORTH. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! A REAR-END COLLISION COULD BE JUST AS FATAL AS A HEAD ON COLLISION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SEAT WILL MOVE FORWARD AND THROW THE DRIVER INTO THE AIR BAG BREAKING THEIR NECK AND VARIOUS OTHER FATAL INJURIES TO GRAPHIC TO LIST. I FORESEE A HUGE LAWSUIT AS NISSAN HAS BEEN ALERTED OF THIS ISSUE MANY TIMES AND REFUSES TO COVER IT, EVEN FOR VEHICLES STILL UNDER WARRANTY. INSTEAD, THEY CHARGE ON AVERAGE $1,200 TO FIX IT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SIMULATE THE ISSUE, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO USE MY MURANO WITH A CRASH TEST DUMMY AND CRASH IT INTO A WALL. THE MOST NERVE WRECKING ISSUE IS THE BREAKS. NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF BRAKES YOU HAVE INSTALLED OR WHO INSTALLS THEM (EVEN THE DEALER), THEY STILL SQUEAK EXTREMELY LOUD. ONCE AGAIN, NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT THEIR RESPONSE IN LAMEN TERMS IS, 'SORRY, THAT YOU WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO PAY 38K FOR A HUNK OF JUNK.' I HAVE SO MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I LAY AWAKE AT NIGHT AND PRAY THAT IT WILL GET STOLEN, A MAJOR HAIL STORM, OR I WIN THE LOTTERY SO I CAN GET RID OF IT AS I STILL OWE ON IT AND I'M UPSIDE DOWN ON TRADE VALUE. THIS IS MY 1ST AND LAST NISSAN. I'M GOING BACK TO GM FOR BETTER QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME, REAR LEFT WELD BROKE AS I GOT INTO MY CAR. IT MADE THE SEAT WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH CREATING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY IN CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE, BUT ALSO IF THERE WERE A CRASH. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR APPRAISAL. THE QUOTE WAS FOR $1400. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER "GOOD WILL". I AM NOT A LARGE MAN AND THE SEAT BRACKETS SHOULD NOT BREAK AFTER 4 YEARS ON ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. *TR
