2007 Nissan Murano

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I SUDDENLY NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL WAS UPSIDE DOWN. LUCKILY, I COULD STILL STEER AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAD NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT, BUT IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE GONE OVER A CURB WHILE TURNING RIGHT AND IT MAY HAVE JARRED SOMETHING. THE DEALER LATCHED ONTO THIS THOUGHT AND SAID I BROKE THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN I WENT OVER THE CURB. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR, DESPITE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT. HOW COULD GOING UP ON A CURB AND DROPPING DOWN--FROM A STOP--BREAK THE STEERING COLUMN? THE DEALER SAID I NEED TO "REPLACE THE STEERING RACK AND REPLACE THE CABLE REEL." MY INSURANCE PAID ANOTHER COMPANY FOR REPAIRS AND THEY REPLACED THE "GEAR ASSEMBLY." SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS, I AM WRITING THE INVOICE'S DIRECT QUOTES. I REALLY BELIEVE THERE IS/WAS A DEFECT IN THE CAR. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? *TR

WENT IN FOR HIGH PRESSURE HOSE REPLACEMENT AND CAME OUT WITH AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. DEALER (WOLFCHASE NISSAN) WOULD NOT OWN UP TO IT BEING A PROBLEM. FRUSTRATED THAT NISSAN DID NOT RECALL THE 07 AS THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL CARS, ETC WITH THAT SAME SPECIFICATION INSTEAD OF A FEW. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS HAVE COMPLAINED BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE FOR THE 07 MODELS. SHOULD A CONSUMER HAVE TO LOSE A LIFE DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR OR WHATEVER THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHIONS OR MODULES? NISSAN KNEW THE ISSUE EXIST BUT DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO THIS RECALL. I'M BEGGING FOR AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE HAVE LOST LIVES DUE TO ERRORS WITH THE AIR BAG AND I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO BE THE NEXT VICTIM. IF DEALER EXPECTS ME TO PAY $1200.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT CAUSE, THEY ARE TRULY MISTAKEN. I WILL RAISE MY VOICE TO THE HEAVENS BEFORE THAT HAPPEN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 MURANO IN AUGUST 2011. FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN A CONSTANT ISSUE, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT STRUTS (BEFORE 60,000 MILES) AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR SHOCKS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS BROKEN, 2 MONTHS AGO IT BEGAN LEAKING OIL FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, AND NOW THE FRONT SEAT IS BROKEN, CAUSING THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SEAT TO 'FLOAT'. I WEIGH 140 LBS SO IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE CAUSED ANY UNDUE STRESS ON THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 70,000 MILES. I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE ALL THE REPAIRS - BUT CANNOT SELL IT UNTIL I DO MAKE THEM (WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTS TO PURCHASE A CAR THAT NEEDS $2500 POURED INTO IT FOR REPAIRS, WITH NEW ISSUES OCCURRING ON A REGULAR BASIS). IT'S A SHAME THAT NISSAN CAN PRODUCE SOMETHING OF SUCH POOR QUALITY AND NOT BE FORCED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS THE WORST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. IF I CAN EVER GET RID OF THIS IT I'LL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN. *TR

WHILE BACKING OUT OF OUR GARAGE. MY WIFE HEARD A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING BROKEN AND THE SEAT IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO THE LEFT. NOW THE SEAT WOBBLES AND NOW LEANS TO THE LEFT, THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THE SEAT WOBBLES WHEN YOU DRIVE. AFTER MY INSPECTION THE REAR CROSS SUPPORT ARM IS BROKEN WHERE IT MOUNTS TO THE LEFT TRACK ASSEMBLY. I AM A SERVICE MANAGER IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. I AM INVOLVED IN FACTORY RECALLS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN DEFINED AS A FACTORY DEFECT AND A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE THIS RESULTS IN A CASUALTY. *TR
