2007 Nissan Murano

ON 2/23/14, I NOTICE THERE WAS WHAT APPEARED TO BE OIL LEAKING FROM MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 2/26/14, IT WAS THE IT WAS THE PRESSURE HOLES LEAKING WHICH HAVE CAUSED OTHER PROBLEMS. RACK AND PINION (R) SIDE, REPLACE FUEL SENDER TWO PARTS. SEPTEMBER OF 2013, I HAD TO HAVE BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT CONTROL ARM REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EXPENSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE/SENSOR IS NOT READING PROPERLY. IT WILL SHOW THE TANK AS EMPTY EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY, HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE THREE OTHER MODELS OF CAR THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FROM THE SAME YEAR DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ALSO ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY IT ON MY VEHICLE. THIS CONCERNS ME AS IN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE EXCEPT THAT THE VEHICLE CAN STALL WHILE IN MOTION CREATING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. *TR

I GOT INTO MY PARKED CAR AND AS SOON I SAT IN THE SEAT, THE BACK LEFT SUPPORT OF THE SEAT BASE BROKE AND DROPPED ABOUT 6 INCHES. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS WHEN YOU SIT IN IT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVING AS THERE IS NO STABILITY IN THE SEAT AND MOVES AROUND TURNS AND OVER BUMPS. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED THERE SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. *TR

I GOT INTO MY CAR TO DRIVE SOMEWHERE, AND NOTICED THAT MY SEAT WAS LOOSE AND SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH - FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE BOLT, AND SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 2/21, AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BROKEN LIFTER ASSEMBLY - AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE $625. I IMMEDIATELY ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE THE DEFINITELY APPEARED TO BE A "SAFETY ISSUE", AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH ON LINE, AND I SEE WHERE THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FOR SEVERAL YEARS, FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE FOR MODELS 2003 THRU 2007, AT LEAST. I FOUND PAGES AND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM MANY PEOPLE. WE ALL HAVE THE SAME OPINION THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF NISSAN. I HAVE OWNED MANY DIFFERENT MODELS OF CARS IN MY LIFETIME, AND A SEAT BREAKING IN THIS MANNER HAS NEVER HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND IS A FIREFIGHTER, AND HIS FIRST RESPONSE WAS CONCERN THAT THE WAY THE SEAT SHIFTS NOW, COULD CAUSE A SEATBELT TO INJURE OR POSSIBLY DECAPITATE A PERSON DURING A CAR CRASH. HE HAS SEEN MANY UNUSUAL THINGS HAPPEN IN HIS CAREER, SO I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS FAR FETCHED FROM THE REALITY OF SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO HAPPEN TO A PERSON DRIVING THEIR CAR WITH A BROKEN DRIVER'S SEAT. I WAS PREPARED TO PAY FOR A BOLT TO BE REPLACED, NOT TO HAVE TO PAY FOR MY SEAT TO BE COMPLETELY REPAIRED, IN ORDER TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. A SEAT SHOULD BE MADE TO ENDURE THE DAY IN AND DAY OUT OF THE WEIGHT OF PEOPLE - LARGE AND SMALL, FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM UNDER 200LBS, AND MY HUSBAND IS 250LBS. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH THE MINDSET THAT IT WOULD BE STRONG AND DURABLE TO LAST FOR MANY, MANY YEARS TO COME, WITHOUT THE WORRIES THAT OUR SEATS COULD BREAK SO EASILY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVING WELL AND THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED AT THAT TIME, HOWEVER THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT AS IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE WE COULD NOT PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET. THESE ARE BOTH KNOWN PROBLEMS TO NISSAN AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER SUV'S OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR. IN SPEAKING TO NISSAN THERE IS NOTHING THEY ARE WILLING TO DO TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OR TO REIMBURSE US FOR THE REPAIR ALREADY MADE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH AND HEARD A SNAPPING NOISE AND FELT MY DRIVERS SEAT WOBBLE. WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY GRANDSON'S SCHOOL AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT MY DRIVERS SEAT WAS TITLED TO THE LEFT AND ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEEL FRAME OF THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. FORTUNATELY FOR ME THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHERE I COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY BEEN INJURED OR WORSE YET THAT I INJURED SOMEONE ELSE. THE COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS $1450. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE WHO FOR ASSISTANCE WITH FUNDING OF THIS REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT SEATS ARE ONLY WARRANTED FOR 3 YEARS AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ANY MONETARY ASSISTANCE. I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS AS BEING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF A VEHICLE AND AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I APPEALED THIS DECISION WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY ARE STILL UNWILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH FUNDING. WHAT A SHAME, THEY HAVE CERTAINLY LOST A VALUED NISSAN CUSTOMER. CHECKING THE INTERNET, SPECIFICALLY YOUR WEBSITE NHTSA, IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN AN EXTREME LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF THE MURANO DRIVERS SEATS BREAKING. WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN DEFINED AS A FACTORY DEFECT AND A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WILL IT TAKE, TO MAKE NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING AND AM HOPING THAT NHTSA WILL DO AN INVESTIGATION AND FORCE NISSAN TO TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. A CAR WITH ONLY 69 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND 7 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT NEED A DRIVERS SEAT REPLACED UNLESS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. HOPE TO HEAR SOMETHING FAVORABLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. NOT THAT THIS MATTER, BUT I AM A SENIOR US CITIZEN AND I DO NOT INTEND TO BE TREATED IN THIS MANNER, NOR SHOULD ANYONE ELSE. PLEASE HELP *TR

IT WAS A CHILLY WINTER AFTERNOON AND I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF A BUSINESS PARKING LOT INTO TRAFFIC. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 30MPH AND I WAS SLOWLY GETTING UP TO SPEED. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED TO RED AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS LIKE I WAS PRESSING AGAINST A SOLID WALL. I HAD TO SWERVE AROUND CARS, HONKING MY HORN AS I COULDN'T STOP. I MANAGED TO PULL INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT WHILE REPEATEDLY TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES FINALLY RELEASED AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE OF PUMPING. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. THE DEALER STATES THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH BRAKES AND THIS IS SOMETHING THEY'VE NEVER DEALT WITH. IT CANNOT BE REPLICATED ONCE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. *TR
