2007 Nissan Murano

MY 2007 MURANO HAS BEGUN STALLING AND LURCHING FORWARD IN TRAFFIC. IT JUST STARTED DOING THIS WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY AS I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL HOW THE CAR WAS REACTING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AFTER COMING TO A STOP, I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR STOPPED QUICKLY, AS THOUGH I HAD STEPPED ON THE BRAKE - THEN IT ACCELERATED QUICKLY, AS THOUGH I HAD STEPPED HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. HOWEVER, IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING 3 OTHER TIMES WITHIN 24 HOURS. ALL OF THEM OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED OR MOVING VERY SLOWLY. I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND HE WAS ADVISED THAT IT WOULD COST $1000.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAT. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND HE WAS ADVISED THAT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, NO ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,793.

I HAD AT LEAST 3 ACCIDENTS IN MY MURANO WHEREBY I HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ALMOST STOPPED OR STOPPED, BUT THE ACCELERATOR KEPT ON PUSHING THEREFORE, HITTING THE NEXT CAR. BECAUSE IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS AND I AM NOT CARELESS, I FEEL IT COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MINOR IDLE FLUCTUATION OR POOR ACCELERATION DESCRIBED IN NISSAN MURANO MODEL 2007-RECALL NOTIFICATION. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT RECOURSE I MAY HAVE OTHER THAN JUST FIXING MY CAR; WHICH I INTEND TO DO. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER SEAT BROKE TONIGHT IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR AND THEN IT JUST STARTED SAGGING DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE. I HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME WITH IT FLOPPING UP AND DOWN, THIS WAS VERY UNSTABLE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY. WE LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT TO SEE IF PERHAPS A BOLT CAME UNSCREWED ONLY TO SEE ITS A METAL BRACKET AND WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED. MY CAR HAS 50,0000 MILES FROM WHAT I AM SEEING THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE, BUT SINCE NO BODILY INJURIES OR DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED THEY ARE NOT BEING REQUIRED TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I THINK ALLOWING THEM TO CHARGE CONSUMERS 1000.00 TO 1500.00 IS RIDICULOUS. LETS NOT WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO DIE IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WILL CALL THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE SET UP THE APPT FOR THE ANOTHER RECALL I JUST RECEIVED AND WILL INQUIRE ABOUT FIXING THE SEAT WHICH I AM SURE I WILL BE TOLD ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HOPE THIS RECALL IS NOT BEING OVERLOOKED BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT BAIL OUTS FOR THESE AUTO DEALERS. *TR

THE BATTERY USED IN NISSAN MURANO 2007 IS DEFECTIVE AND GOES DOWN WITHIN 12 - 36 MONTHS FOR MOST VEHICLES. WHEN MOST OF THE BATTERIES IN THE US PROVIDE AT LEAST 36 MONTHS OF WARRANTY, NISSAN MADE ITS OWN POLICY TO COVER 100% ONLY FOR 1ST 12 MONTHS, AND THEN START PRORATED CHARGES. THEY CONCEAL THE DEFECT DURING A SALE/LEASE, BUT IT'S VERY COMMON. I HAD TO PAY $75 IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE BATTERY THAT IS ONLY 24 MONTHS OLD. THEY REPLACED WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE NISSAN BATTERY, AND REFUSED TO REPLACE WITH A REPUTABLE BATTERY SUCH AS INTERSTATE. I STAYED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND SAW FOUR SIMILAR SUVS CAME IN, ALL WITH THE SAME COMPLAIN. I SPOKE TO SOME NISSAN OWNERS AND THEY ALL AGREED THAT THEIR BATTERIES WENT DOWN JUST AFTER 12 MONTHS. NISSAN USED TO OFFER 36 MONTHS WARRANTY TILL 2005, AND THEN STARTED TO REDUCE THE WARRANTY, AND NOW IT IS ONLY FOR 12 MONTHS. THEY SHOULD REFUND MY PAYMENT AS WELL AS TO OTHER OWNERS WHO WERE FORCED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WITHIN 36 MONTHS AS THE COMPANY CLAIMS BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE FOR THIS PERIOD. THEN THEY SHOULD REPLACE WITH A REPUTABLE BATTERY SUCH AS INTERSTATE UNTIL THEY FIX THE PROBLEM OF THEIR BATTERY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED AND EXTENDED TO THE REAR SEAT. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEAT COULD BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER WELDED THE SEAT TO THE TRACK AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. ON JULY 6, 2009, THE SEAT FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALER RECENTLY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER WELD THE SEAT BECAUSE THE TRACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PAID $400 FOR THE WELDING AND $1,400 FOR THE TRACK REPLACEMENT. SHE STATED THAT SHE WOULD NOT REPAIR THE SEAT SINCE THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD MAKE AN AGREEMENT WITH HER TO SPLIT THE REPAIR COST. THEY LATER STATED THAT THEY WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH HER AND THAT NO RECALLS WERE AVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER AND SERVICE MANAGER CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED. IF A CRASH HAD OCCURRED, THE INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND STATED THAT IF THE SEAT LEANED TOWARD THE AIR BAG SWITCH, THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY. THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS MAILING HER A PACKET TO REPORT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT SHE WILL GO THE MEDIA ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THIS WOULD BE IRRELEVANT SINCE NO CRASH OCCURRED. THE CONTACT FOUND SEVERAL NHTSA COMPLAINTS AND AN OPEN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 NISSAN MURANO AND IT HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME MY DRIVERS SEAT MADE A VERY BIG POP AND THE FRAME OF THE SEAT BROKE INTO. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH AND I FELT SO UNSAFE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT I HAD BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. PLEASE READ ALL THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS. I AM SURE THIS IS A DEFECT AND A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS ON MY CAR. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE THEY SAY IT HAS TO MANY MILES(55,000). THE COST TO REPAIR IS 1,500.00. I HAVE NEVER HAD A SEAT TO FALL IN THE FLOOR. I SURE HOPE THIS SAFETY HAZARD WILL BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
