SAT IN CAR TO TAKE DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE. THE REAR BRACKET CAME LOOSE AND NOW MY SEAT WOBBLES/BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE. OVER BUMPS IT'S WORSE. TURNING A CORNER SENDS ME UP AGAINST THE DOOR. I FIND MYSELF GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR BALANCE AND THAT CAUSES MY CAR TO SWERVE. HUBBY THOUGHT I WAS EXAGGERATING UNTIL HE SAT IN SEAT. LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. CALLED NISSAN AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND I SHOULD CALL NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER PARTS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!!! IF NISSAN IS AWARE THERE'S THIS BIG OF A PROBLEM WHY NO RECALL? BECAUSE NO ONE HAS DIED?? SEEMS THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT. RIGHT NOW I'M USING THE "FIX" THE GUY BEFORE ME USED....PIECE OF WOOD UNDER THE SEAT TO KEEP IT STABLE ENOUGH TO DRIVE. QUOTED $1700 PARTS AND LABOR. *TR

THIS I FEEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL FROM THE DEALER.SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET REALLY HURT IF THEY ARE RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND THE SEAT BREAKS. I HOPE BY WRITING TO YOU THIS CAN BE AVOIDED. *TR

REAR HATCH STOPPED WORKING. SINCE IT CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (WITH THE PANEL REMOVED) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO HANDLE ON THIS YEAR MODEL THAT WILL WORK WITHOUT ELECTRICAL ASSISTANCE. WHEN THE OPEN BUTTON IS PUSHED (EITHER FROM INSIDE THE CAR OR ON THE KEY FOB) THERE IS NO SOUND INDICATING THAT THE REAR HATCH IS BEING CONTACTED AT ALL. WE HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE FUSE AND A CONTROL MODULE BUT NEITHER OF THOSE HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE A MANUAL LATCH ON THE REAR HATCH SO THAT IT CAN BE OPENED WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

2007 NISSAN MURANO S SUN VISOR BOTH DRIVER AS WELL AS PASSENGER MAL-FUNCTION. I CHOOSE VISIBILITY/WIPER BECAUSE THE SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTS VISION (*VISIBILITY*) WHEN IT DROPS DOWN IN VIEW WHILE DRIVING AT NO GIVEN WARNING. ITS DANGEROUS AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE COMING FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTION AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. THE COST OF THESE SUN VISORS ARE EXPENSIVE AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE OR AT LEAST FIX THEM AT NO COST. *TR

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.

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.
