MEANWHILE IVE HAD TO PAY OVER $1000 FOR THE ALTERNATOR WORK WHICH WAS RECALLED HOWEVER MY VIN DIDNT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND HOOD OF CAR ARE ALSO SO HOT YOU CANT TOUCH THEM EVEN AFTER JUST DRIVING 1 MILE IN 70 DEGREEE WEATHER HOWEVER THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ISNT RUNNING HIGH. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF UPON STARTING. I TRIED CYCLING THE ENGINE NURMEROUS TIMES BUT THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. NISSAN SAID THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE WHOLE UNIT FOR $5000 BECAUSE THEY CANT PIN POINT AIRBAG ISSUE. AIRBAG ISSUE ISNT FIXED AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME IF I HAVE A WORKING AIR BAG OR NOT. IM NOT SURE IF I NEED TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE IM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHILE IN THE VEHICLE.

MY AIRBAG LIGHTS FLASH CONTINUOUSLY SINCE ABOUT 2006 AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN GOES OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID IT COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS FROM CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO AN EXHAUST ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE TRIAL AND ERROR TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WOULD REMY THE PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR WONT STAY UP AND MY ALTERNATOR KEEPS DRAINING MY BATTERY SO I HAVE TO REPLACE YEARLY. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH AND WOULD KEEP FLASHING UNTIL YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF. WE TOOK THE MURANO TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC. HE PUT IT ON HIS COMPUTER SYSTEM AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH "DIAGNOSTIC MODULE WAS FAULTY". IT WOULD COST $800 FOR JUST THE PART AND 2 1/2 HOURS OF LABOR FOR A TOTAL OF $1093. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE NONE AT THE TIME AND WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE MURANO TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. WE DID TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER AN HOUR AND HALF AWAY. AFTER A $73 CHARGE, THEY TOLD US THE EXACT SAME THING! I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP US WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE DIDN'T DO FOR MAINTENANCE, BUT IT WASN'T OUR FAULT THAT IT IS DEFECTIVE. I ASKED THEM IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NOT AT THIS TIME. THEY HAD ALSO INFORMED ME IF WE WOULD HAVE IT FIXED AND THERE WOULD BE A RECALL, THEY WOULD REIMBURSE US FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD SEND ME A DOCUMENTATION SO I WOULD HAVE PROOF THAT THEY WOULD DO THAT BUT I HAVEN'T SEE ANYTHING FROM THEM. YOU WOULD THINK THAT NISSAN WOULD TRY TO RECALL PROACTIVELY BEFORE THERE IS A NEGATIVE BACK LASH ON THEIR COMPANY. IT SEEMS THAT CARMAKERS OVERALL ARE BECOMING MORE PROACTIVE IN THEIR RECALLS, PULLING VEHICLES BACK AND REPLACING PARTS TO ADDRESS CONSUMER'S SAFETY CONCERNS, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY NOT BE OFFICIALLY REQUIRED TO DO SO. I WAS HOPING THAT MAYBE YOU COULD HELP US WITH OUR PROBLEM. IT'S JUST ALOT OF MONEY TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET, PEOPLE HAVE THESE FIXED AND HAVE TO HAVE THEM FIXED AGAIN. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME! *TR

APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO DUE TO NO FAULT OF OUR OWN AS WE WERE DRIVING OUR AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OUR AREA. THEY TOLD US OUR AIR BAG CONTROL MONITOR WAS BAD AND OUR AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. UPON ORDERING THE PART WE WERE TOLD THE PART IS ON BACKORDER. THEY ALSO TOLD US THAT WE HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. THE SERVICE MANAGER PROCEEDED TO TELL MY WIFE AND I THAT THE PART IS ONLY WARRANTED FOR 3 YEARS WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. NOW IT WAS OUR ISSUE SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED. *TR

IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE ALL OF THE WELL KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN MURANO. I GOT THE AIR BAG LIGHT THAT WON'T TURN OFF WHICH TO ME IS A MAJOR SAFETY AND VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I HEARD THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS WON'T WORK. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE OR MULTIPLE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS NONE OF DOOR ACTUATORS WORK INCLUDING THE REAR HATCH DOOR EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR THAT DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT UNLOCKS AND LOCKS WHICH I ALSO THINK IT'S ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE THE BAD POWER STEERING RACK WHICH I MENTIONED A LOT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE STEERING HAS SO MUCH PLAY THAT ITS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE I WISH NISSAN WOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADMIT THAT THESE SHOULD BE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THEIR BAD ENGINEERING WITH THESE TRUCKS. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET HAS BROKEN. THE FIRST TIME, WE SHAMED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO FIX IT, BUT THIS WAS ONLY TEMPORARY AS THE SEAT HAS JUST BROKEN AGAIN. WE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT THEY SAID WE ARE ON OUR OWN. AIR BAG LIGHT IS SUPPOSEDLY LINKED TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL. ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND ESCALATED ALL THE WAY TO NORTH AMERICAN HQ TO NO AVAIL. IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN WOULD RATHER TAKE THEIR CHANCES ON LAW SUITS THAN HAVE THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFELY DRIVE THEIR PRODUCTS. AFTER PURCHASING AT LEAST 10 NISSAN PRODUCTS OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER. FOREVER IS A LONG TIME. *TR

THEY SAID THEY REPLACED DIFFERENT PARTS EACH TIME BUT WITHIN FOUR TO SIX WEEKS THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN.

AFTER PURCHASING A 05 NISSAN MURANO, A MONTH LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE AIRBAG MODULE WAS REPLACED AND SYSTEM WAS RESET. IN LATE 06 THE AIRBAG LIGHT START FLASHING AGAIN, THE DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM, WORKED FINE UNTIL OCT OF 08 AT THIS POINT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS ENDED. THEY RESET THE SYSTEM AND PULLED THE CODE FROM THE UNIT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE AKA CLOCKSPRING CABLE IS FAULTY THAT IS THE REASON WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS QUOTED A LITTLE OVER $2000 FOR THE REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS ENDED ASK TO TALK TO A MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ALSO ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER THAT DAY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, WHEN I CALLED THEM I WAS GIVEN THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RESET THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I ASK THE IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL WORK IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND WAS TOLD THEY CANT GUARANTEE IT WILL BUT IT SHOULD IF THE SYSTEM IS RESET AND THE LIGHT IS NOT ON. FROM THAT DAY TO NOW I HAVE TO RESET THE SYSTEM AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I'VE HAD IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEALS LEAKING WITH CAUSES THE OIL LEVEL TO GET LOW AND MAKES IT LOUD AND INCREASES THE RPM WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE SEAL REPLACED 3 TIMES, ONCE UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY, ONCE WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND JUST RECENTLY HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. AND AGAIN ASKED TO TALK TO A SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THIS SINCE ITS THE SAME PART BEING REPLACED 3 TIMES, AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS TOLD WITHOUT REPLACING IT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT WORK AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. I HAD TO PAY OVER $1000 OR HAVE NO AIRBAGS TO PROTECT MY WIFE AND CHILD. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WE OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO - THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE OR THE SWITCH - THEY REQUIRE A MANUAL UNLOCK - THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE - I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON - WE HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED, AND IT CONTINUES TO BE ON - THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. OUR VEHICLE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION OTHERWISE. WE HAVE LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS FLASHING IN THE DASH AGAIN. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONCE BEFORE WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE NORTH LITTLE ROCK DEALERSHIP. ON LEAVING THE GARAGE WITHIN JUST A MILE, I MADE A LEFT TURN AND HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT CAME BACK ON. I WENT STRAIT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BUT THE (SECOND REPLACEMENT PART) WOULDN'T BE IN TILL THE NEXT DAY SO I WAS GIVEN A LOANER FOR ONE DAY. NOW IT'S BACK ON AGAIN. ALSO NOTED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THAT THE LUMBAR SUPPORT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NO LONGER INFLATES/DEFLATES AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS FIXED AND HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT 37,000 MILES AT MY COST. ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP RESURFACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND REPLACE A REAR CALIPER UNDER WARRANTY THAT HAD LOCKED UP 1 & 1/2 YEARS AGO. I SEE THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE IN NEED OF RESURFACING AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE BREAK PADS HAVE 1/2 OF THERE WEAR LEFT TO GO. DUE TO THE HIGHLY CHROMED /CURVED DIPSTICK, GETTING AN ACCURATE OIL LEVEL READING IS NOT POSSIBLE AT ANY TIME, SO THE DIPSTICK HAS ONLY BEEN REMOVED THREE TIME SINCE PURCHASING IT AS IT IS A POINTLESS ENDEAVOR. I OWN SIX AUTOS THAT RANGE IN AGE FROM 1972 THREW THIS 2005 MURANO AND OF ALL OF THEM, THE MURANO IS THE LEAST TRUSTED ONE. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WITHOUT APPARENT REASON, AND IT HAS BEEN FLASHING EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THEN. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALERSHIP STATES DIAGNOSTIC WILL COST $85, PLUS COST OF REPAIR. I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY CORRECTLY IN A CRASH, OR IF IT WILL DEPLOY WHEN IT IS NOT NEEDED, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. EITHER WAY, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE. SEE CONSUMER COMPLAINT NUMBERS 1020853, 10199625, 10196794, 10193158, AND 10188126. IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, THEN NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR COST. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO IN NOV 2005. ON FEB 24, 2006, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THEY "ERASED ALL DTC'S AND RETESTED THE SYSTEM." IN MARCH 2006, I RETURNED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THAT TIME, THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE, SPIRAL CABLE, AND DIAGNOSTIC SENSOR. IT WAS OK FOR A YEAR, BUT THEN STARTED FLASHING AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK ON OCT. 12, 2007. THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG MODULE (AGAIN). THREE DAYS LATER, IT STARTED FLASHING AGAIN. I WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN UNTIL MARCH 21, 2008. AT THAT TIME, THEY REPLACED THE APIRAL CABLE (AGAIN) AND INFORMED ME THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE FIXED BUT, ACCORDING TO NISSAN PROTOCOL, THAT'S ALL THEY COULD DO. IF IT STARTS FLASHING AGAIN, THEY CAN REPLACE THE NEXT PART. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE NO MORE OF AN IDEA TODAY THAT MY VEHICLE IS SAFE THAN I HAVE EVER HAD. EVEN IF I TAKE IT IN A 5TH OR 6TH TIME, HOW CAN I BE SURE IT WILL WORK IF AND WHEN I NEED IT? IN THE VERY BEGINNING, THEY DID REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT, AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. I NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN NISSAN'S SAFETY PROTOCOLS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I COULD HEAR WHAT COULD BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A COMBINATION CLICK AND SNAP. AT THE SAME TIME I FELT THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION (PICTURES AVAILABLE), I FOUND THAT A SUPPORTING BRACKET HAS SHEARED IN TWO PLACES. THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO BE VERY LOOSE. ONE OF THE POWER SEAT FUNCTIONS WILL CAUSE THE SEAT TO RAISE UP ONLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. *TR

11/27/07 PROBLEM: AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. (TWO OCCURRENCES) DIAGNOSTIC CONDUCTED 11/25/07 AND 11/27/07. AT THE FIRST SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND I WAS ASKED TO BRING VEHICLE IN 11/27/07 A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC WAS CONDUCTED. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC CODES THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH COSTS EXCEEDING $1000. THE SEATS, THUS FAR APPEAR TO BE IN TACK. WHAT DOES SEAT CUSHION HAVE TO DO WITH AIRBAG OR ITS SENSOR? THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN YEARS 2 YEARS NEW WITH APPROX. 51,000 MILES. CONCERNS: VEHICLE SAFETY AND PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. I WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS COMMON IN MURANOS AND PATHFINDERS. IF SO, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL W/O COSTS TO CONSUMER. AFTER REVIEWING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED BY OTHER CONSUMERS, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT SAFETY CONCERNS EXISTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISKS OF INJURY TO A PASSENGER. IN ADDITION, THE ACTUAL CAUSE AND FINAL REPAIR RESOLUTION REMAINS UNKNOWN AND UNRESOLVED.
