2006 NISSAN MURANO Seats Problems

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -Front Driver Seat and the rear subframe. Yes How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -Seat moves around while driving. The subframe is bad, which if it broke could be dangerous. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -No, my husband is my mechanic Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? -No. They seat was like that when we bought the car in 2021. The subframe was noticed last night.

My drivers side seat started wobbling and it feels dangerous in case of any kind of crash. The other day I pulled into driveway and heard a pop and the side where the buttons are popped out and I cannot find one of them. The part where the buttons for seat adjustment just fell out and I pushed back but still afraid in case of collision. I have read on plenty of forums where the seat frame breaks. I am older and I cant afford to fix it but I am afraid to drive it

Driver seat has come loose and no longer anchored to the frame.

Normal driving and the seat broke and has been for several years causing instability and oscillation. Recently my steering wheel will not align, brought it to a mechanic that informed me the rear sub-frame is cracked on both sides causing the tires to malign, creating un-even wear on the back tires and a hazard to drive.

THE LEFT, DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT OF MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO BROKE WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING. THE SUPPORT BRACKET CRACKED COMPLETELY, LEAVING THE SEAT TILTED DOWNWARD SEVERAL INCHES ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION BECAUSE THE SEAT IS BOUNCING AT AN ODD ANGLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN MURANO. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT AN NHTSA RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.

Mileage: 153,000

NOT SURE WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT SEAT FRAME BROKE, NOW I WOBBLE BACK AND FOR WHILE DRIVING.. NO RECALL FOR THIS. RIDICULOUS!!! SCARY AS [XXX] ... NOT ONLY THAT, I HAVE LIKE 100'S OF STORIES COPIED HERE OF THE EXACT SAME THING. I WANT TO KNOW WHY NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THE FRAME FOR THIS VEHICLE? I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN!!!!

THE SEAT WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE REPAIR LASTED THREE MONTHS BEFORE IT CRACKED AND SNAPPED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER RESPONDED TO A LETTER FROM THE CONTACT AND RESPONDED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL; THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO PAY $2,000 FOR THE REPAIRS AND THERE WAS ONLY A 90 DAY WARRANTY ON THE PART, BUT NOT THE LABOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

SEAT SUPPORT IS BROKEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CAUSING THE DRIVER MY SON, TO SHIFT TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. A DEALER SOLD THIS USED CAR AS IS AND COVERED A WOODEN BLOCK THAT SUPPORTED THE SEAT WITH CLOTH TO DISGUISE THE PROBLEM. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS SITE I FOUND OVER 700 COMPLAINTS. THE SEAT IS COMPROMISED AND IT'S A MANUFACTURERS SAFETY DEFECT. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR THE DRIVER COULD BE THROWN INTO THE DASH OR WORST BECAUSE OF A ALREADY BROKEN DRIVER SEAT SUPPORT. WHY SHOULD CONSUMERS NOT BE MADE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND THE MANUFACTURE REQUIRED TO DO A PROPER FIX? IS THE SEAT BELT DESIGNED TO HOLD THE PASSENGER AND THE SEAT IN PLACE DURING AN ACCIDENT?

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY '03 NISSAN MURANO. IT IS LOOSE AND SHIFTS SIDE TO SIDE WHEN I TURN CORNERS. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE LIFTER LINK SLIDE ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $600. THERE IS A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) OUT ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT AND THEREFORE, OWN UP TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD HATE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN DURING A CRASH.. IF YOU HAVE HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN WITH YOUR NISSAN POWER SEAT,

THE DRIVERS METAL SEAT BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT SNAPPED WHEN GETTING IN MY CAR. THE SEAT IS WOBBLY AND MOVES WITH BRAKING OR ACCELERATING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL AND WOULD COST $1500.00 TO BUY A NEW BRACKET. A WHOLE NEW SEAT WOULD BE $5000.00. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ABOUT THE FRONT SEAT BRACKET BREAKING. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT MY SEAT WOULD DEFINITELY COME LOOSE FROM MY CAR WITH ME IN THE SEAT. I CAN'T AFFORD A $1500 BRACKET. WHY WOULD THAT BRACKET COST THAT MUCH?

FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT ADJUSTER FRAME BROKE WHILE DRIVING. SEAT WAS WOBBLING LIKE A ROLLER COASTER RIDE FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. CONTACTED NISSIAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NOTHING THEY CAN TO ABOUT IT. CONTACTED NISSAN OF BURLINGAME, CA AND THE SEAT ADJUSTER FRAME PART RUNS $1450.00-$1600.00 PLUS INSTALLATION. SUCH A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT PRONE DEFECT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST. NISSAN ALSO SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP OUT FINANCIALLY ON ANY REPAIR WORK/INSTALLATION FEE'S TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME. THEY WERE CURT AND ABRUPT. I MENTIONED I HAD READ ON CAR REPAIR COMPLAINT SITES THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T READ CAR REPAIR SITES.........

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 NISSAN MURANO. 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS AND NO RECALL YET. THIS IS VERY SAD WHEN A COMPANY CAN'T STAND BEHIND A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. GOD FORBID SOMEONE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT. FIRST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN IS ME OR SOMEONE WITH SAME PROBLEM FLYING OUT THE WINDOW BC OF A DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME. I'VE PURCHASED ABOUT 5 NISSANS IN MY LIFE TIME. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE FROM NISSAN. A DEFECT SEAT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

Mileage: 101,000

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME HAS BROKE DURING OPERATION MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER REPAIR. MOST RECENTLY ON A BUSY CITY INTERSTATE. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS HAS BEEN $360. NOT ONLY HAS THIS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, BUT A FINANCIAL BURDEN AS WELL AS COMFORT ISSUE WHEN DRIVING. NISSAN AND NHTSA ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECT YET FAIL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OR ISSUE A RECALL.

DRIVER SEAT REAR LEFT BRACKET BROKE AFTER 134,000 MILES

Mileage: 134,000

SEAT SUDDENLY DROPPED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE IN THE VEHICLE AGAINST THE DOOR. THIS SUDDEN CHANGE IN POSITION CAUSED ME TO SWERVE THE VEHICLE NEARLY MISSING THE CAR NEXT TO ME IN THE OTHER LANE. IF THIS SEAT WAS TO FAIL COMPLETELY I COULD HAVE BEEN THROWN BACKWARDS IN THE VEHICLE LOSING THE ABILITY TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS USED BY A 160 POUND WOMAN AND EVEN THOUGH HAS SOME AGE HAS ONLY 43,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT IS USED STRICTLY FOR PLEASURE DRIVING ON THE WEEKENDS. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ROUNDING A CORNER. UPON REVIEWING THE MANY MANY THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN UP ON THE INTERNET ABOUT HOW PERVASIVE THIS PROBLEM IS THERE IS NO REASON THAT A POOR DESIGN ON THE SEAT LIFTING FRAME HAS RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THIS PART AND NISSAN HAS NOW REDESIGNED THE PART TO REINFORCE THE SEAT FRAME PART OT MAKE IT MORE STURDY. THIS REDESIGN MEANS TO ME THAT THEY RECOGNIZE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL DESIGN AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FO RTHE REPAIR NOT TELL CONSUMERS THEY NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF BETWEEN $1,000 AND $2,500. THAT IS RIDICULOUS.

Mileage: 43,000

MY MURANO DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE OFF THE LOWER LEFT METAL PART, THE SEAT NOW IS NOT WELDED TOGETHER PROPERLY AND ITS NOW UNATTACHED AND MOVES AROUND AS I DRIVE. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER VEHICLES ONLY NISSAN. THEY REALLY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO BE FIXED! I JUST HAPPEN TO GET IN THE VEHICLE AND OUT OF NO WHERE WHEN I SAT DOWN I JUST FELT THE SEAT CRACK AND LOWER TO ONE SIDE. I AM 140LBS. NOT VERY BIG AND PETITE, SO THIS IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD BREAK LIKE THIS.

THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SEAT FRAME HAS DETACHED FROM THE CAR FLOOR MOUNT AS OF APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS AGO; SINCE THEN, THE SEVERITY OF THE DETACHMENT HAS INCREASED AND THE SEAT MOVES UP AND DOWN. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC AND NISSAN THAT WELDING THE SEAT FRAME TO THE FLOOR FRAME WILL ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE. NISSAN STATES A NEW FRAME IS REQUIRED ($1,200 + LABOR). NOT HAVING MY SEAT CORRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE CAR PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN AUTO ACCIDENT. THE FRAME HAS DETACHED BASED ON NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR; THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL USE, IN FACT THE CAR ONLY HAS 110,409 MILES. NISSAN STATES THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ($1,200 + LABOR) TO REMEDY GIVEN THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD (IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS).

Mileage: 108,000

DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME OR BRACKET BROKEN RESULTING IN LOOSE SEAT THAT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME OR BRACKET ON THE LEFT SIDE REAR PART OF THE FRAME BROKE RESULTING IN THE SEAT DROPPING ABOUT 3 INCHES DOWN ON THE BACK LEFT SIDE.

THE BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHIN TWO MILES OF THE FAILURE OCCURRING. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER SEAT MOUNT DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE SEAT WAS WELDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

Mileage: 65,000

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SEAT DROPPED DOWN. UPON CHECKING WITH A MECHANIC HE STATED THAT THE SUPPORT SYSTEM BROKE. THIS CAUSED THE SEAT TO DROP ON ONE SIDE. FROM HIS INSPECTION IT APPEARS THAT THE METAL USED WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT NORMAL USE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT UNTIL IT SUDDENLY BROKE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS APPARENTLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 MURANO SL AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE WARNED OWNERS OF THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 104,000

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE THE BASE OF THE SEAT, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE SEATS. I CAN PURCHASE A SEAT FOR 1800.00 PLUS THE COST OF INSTALLATION. NISSAN HAS REDESIGNED THE SEATS TO MAKE THEM STRONGER.

Mileage: 110,000

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORKING ONE EVENING IN MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO AT 60 MPH. DURING THAT DRIVE I HEARD A NOISE AND THAT'S WHEN HALF OF THE SEAT FELL DOWN TOWARDS THE LEFT SIDE. I DROVE HOME ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHICH MADE MY DRIVE HOME A LITTLE PAINFUL WHEN I HIT A BUMP.

SEAT BROKE, WHY IS THIS THERE NO RECALL ON A SEAT BREAKING? IT'S THE DRIVER SEAT! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR SEAT IN YOU CAR JUST TO DROP TO ONE SIDE FOR NO REASON? NISSAN SHOULD NOT SKIMP ON SOMETHING THAT YOU SIT IN WHILE DRIVING!

Mileage: 88,000

I NOTICED WHILE TURNING A CORNER THAT MY SEAT COMPLETELY LIFTED UP ON ONE SIDE, I BROUGHT IT TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY WELDED AND THE WELD BROKE, THEY REWELDED IT AND NOW IT IS BROKEN AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE IT WAS WELDED. I FEAR THAT IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS CRASH I COULD POSSIBLY BE EJECTED FROM THE CAR, I AM NOT HAPPY THAT THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE BY NISSAN ABOUT THIS, THIS IS MY 3RD NISSAN AND THE FIRST WITH A SERIOUS PROBLEM I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO BUY A NEW CAR AND HAVE IT NOT BE A NISSAN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER SEAT BROKE DURING DRIVING ON HIGHWAY COMING AROUND A CURVE. THE MOVEMENT WAS QUICK, HAD TO HOLD ONTO STEERING WHEEL TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. TOOK NEXT EXIT OFF TO GATHER WHAT JUST HAPPEN. THAT'S WHEN I ROCK THE SEAT AND KNEW IT WAS BROKEN. I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM OUT OF TOWN AND HAD OVER 140 MILES TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION, BECAUSE I WASN'T FOR SURE IF THE BACK WOULD FALL BACK INTO THE REAR SEAT. MY PASSENGER GOOGLE FOR INFORMATION ON YOUTUBE AND FOUND THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE WITH OTHER MURANO. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL ON A DEFECTS WITH THEIR SEATS. NISSAN HAS NOT INFORMED ME ON ANY RECALL WITH THIS VEHICLE. SOME TYPE OF ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MAJOR EQUIPMENT NEED TO BE ADDRESS QUICKLY. DRIVING WITH A SEAT FALLING FROM YOU CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND OTHERS. SAFETY OF CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE A MAJOR PRIORITY. NISSAN MANUFACTURER NEED TO STEP UP AN OWN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECT. I OWN OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE AND HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT OWN NISSAN VEHICLE, WE OR DISAPPOINTED WITH HOW NISSAN IS HANDLING THEIR CUSTOMER. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2010 AND BY 2011 THE SEAT HAD LOCKED IN POSITION AND BROUGHT IT IN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET IT REPAIRED SINCE I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED IN THE WARRANTY BUT THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR $1300 AND I CHOSE AT THAT TIME NOT TO GET IT FIXED, NOT KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE SEAT FRAME DESIGN BY NISSAN. UPON RESEARCH LATER, I FOUND OUT THAT YEAR MODEL AND MAKE HAD A DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY BREAK ON ONE SIDE. SOMETIME IN 2013 IT SURE ENOUGH BROKE AND WHEN I WENT TO RENEW MY INSPECTION STICKER LAST WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS REJECTED BECAUSE OF THE SEAT MOVEMENT. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND ASKED IF THEY COULD HELP ME OUT IN ANY WAY TO HELP FIX THE SEAT FRAME (WHICH IS NOW ESTIMATED AT OVER $1500 TO FIX) BECAUSE IT IS THEIR FAULTY DESIGN, AND WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WHAT SO EVER. SO NOW I HAVE A BROKEN SEAT AND AN OUT OF DATE INSPECTION STICKER AND NISSAN WILL NOT OFFER ME ANY ASSISTANCE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR AND DENIES ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT FRAME FOR THAT YEAR MODEL. THE MAN AT THE INSPECTION STICKER PLACE TOLD ME IT IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION DRIVING LIKE IT IS WHICH IS WHY HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE WHEN HE APPLIES THE BREAKS, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT SLIDES FORWARD. HOW CAN A AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP AS BIG AS NISSAN DENY THIS AND NOT OFFER ANY HELP TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS BEYOND ME. I WANT TO TELL THIS TO ALL NISSAN OWNERS AND I WOULD NOT OWN ANOTHER NISSAN IF I GOT ONE FOR FREE. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THE SEAT FRAME REPAIRED AND I USE THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY TO GO TO AND FROM WORK, I AM NOT SURE WHAT OTHER OPTIONS I HAVE OTHER THATN TO DRIVE UNSAFE AND WITH AN OUT OF DATE STICKER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WE HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE DRIVER SEAT STARTED SINKING TO THE BACK LEFT MY HUSBAND AND I GOT SO SCARED BECAUSE HE COULD NOT REACH THE PEDAL OR THE BREAK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WE WERE IN THE CAR WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN. HE PUSHED HIMSELF AS MUCH AS HE COULD PRACTICALLY SEATING IN THE AIR OVER THE SEAT TO REACH THE PEDALS TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. I CAN SAY THAT WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SOMETHING SO SCARY AND DANGEROUS WE COULD OF CRASH. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND EXPLAINED THE ENTIRE INCIDENT AND THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO ACCESS THE DAMAGE. I WENT IN THE NEXT DAY ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS $1,400 TO REPAIR THE SEAT FRAME. THE WORST WAS THE MECHANIC ADMITTING THAT THIS HAPPENS OFTEN IN THE NISSAN MURANO. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY REFERRED ME OUT TO A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT JUST TO LET ME KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT IN THEIR BUDGET TO FIX MY SEAT. LIKE IF THEY WERE DOING ME A FAVOR AND I WAS ASKING FOR SOMETHING ABSURD. THIS IS INSANELY DANGEROUS AND IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT ON NISSAN PART. THERE IS SO MANY COMPLAINS OF THE SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NISSAN IS MORE THAN AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS IF THEIR OWN PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT. WE NEED TO START HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS HAPPENING WAY TO MANY TIMES. IF THE FREEWAY WAS BUSIER THAT DAY WE WOULD OF CRASH, UNACCEPTABLE!!

DRIVING ON I95 AND HEAR A POP AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT SHIFTED ABOUT 5 DEGREES TO THE LEFT AND THE BACK LEFT CORNER DROPPED. WHEN I TURNED TO THE RIGHT, IT FELT LIKE THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT WOULD RAISE UP THEN DROP BACK DOWN AS I COMPLETED THE TURN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE BEL AIR (MD) NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THEY FOUND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BOTTOM WELD HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE SEAT FAME TO BEND AND SLIT. THEY INSTALLED GUSSET AND WELDED. COST $757.08. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLING NISSAN I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE SEAT FRAME ON AN 8 YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 81,000 MILES SHOULD NOT BREAK UNLESS IT WAS UNDER DESIGNED OR WAS DEFECTIVELY MADE. NISSAN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER OF 16837975 AND SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. THEY GOT BACK TO ME ON 12/17/2014 STATING NISSAN WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THE COST AND NISSAN WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE INFREQUENT OF OCCURRENCE BUT WOULD NOT TELL ME THE NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES. *TR

MY SEAT HAS DISLODGED FROM THE BASE IN THE BACK LEFT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT JUST AS MANY OTHERS HAVE AS WELL. I NOTICED IT WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN WHEN THE SEAT ROCKED OUT OF PLACE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THEY SAID IT WAS A FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE WELDED ($500) OR THE SEAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT ($1500). I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND THEY RESPONDED NO. SINCE IT SEEMED SO FAR BEYOND A NORMAL ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE, I DECIDED TO CONTACT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE TO HELP. AFTER A WEEK LONG INVESTIGATION, NISSAN OFFERED NO HELP. THEY WERE VAGUE AS TO MY INQUIRIES IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE. AFTER SOME FURTHER RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS SAFECAR.ORG, AND FOUND IT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. MOREOVER, TO FIND THAT AN INVESTIGATION TOOK PLACE ALREADY ON THE ISSUE AND WAS CLOSED WITH NO ACTION IS RIDICULOUS AND NEGLIGENT. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A MAJOR ACCIDENT FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY? I HOPE THE CASE GETS REOPENED AND THE ISSUE IS PREVENTED GOING FORWARD. *TR

Mileage: 82,000

WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A POP COME FROM UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE SEAT COLLAPSED TO THE LEFT REAR. I'M ASSUMING THAT THIS IS THE SEAT FRAME ISSUE THAT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MURANO OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. *TR

WILE DRIVING CASUALLY, THE SEAT FELT LIKE DISLOCATING OFF IT'S TRACK AND LEANED FORWARD AND TO THE RIGHT. I PULLED OVER WHEN POSSIBLE AND OBSERVED THAT THE SEAT IS LOOSE ON ITS REAR LEFT SIDE AND ROCKS FREELY TOWARDS THE FRONT. ELECTRICALLY IT FUNCTIONED AS USUAL. MY GARAGE MECHANIC (NOT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP!) CHECKED IT AND FOUND OUT THE METAL FRAME OF THE SEAT IS BROKEN. HE WARNED ME OF KEEPING DRIVING IT AND SAID HE COULD NOT FIX IT BUT WILL LOOK FOR A BODY SHOP OR SOME ONE WHO WILL. I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH IT AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON WELL-KNOWN SAFETY VIOLATION BY THE MANUFACTURE, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY, OR IN A UNEXPLAINED OTHER REASON, WAS NEVER RECOGNIZED AS AN OFFICIAL SAFETY RECALL. I WANT TO ADD MY VOICE SO IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OFF. BEFORE MORE PEOPLE WILL BE HURT. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY WHEN DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR YEARS NOT SURE WHY IT IS NOT A RECALL YET.

GO TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE $800 TO $1500 TO FIX I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL NOT SURE IF THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE TO MAKE IT A RECALL. INFO ON THIS MATTER IS ALL OVER THE WEB IF YOU OWN A NISSAN MURANO 2003 TO 2007 THIS WILL HAPPEN IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. THIS SEAT FRAME WAS POORLY ENGINEERED AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO THERE WAS A BIG SNAPPING SOUND AND THE SEAT SLUMPED TO THE REAR LEFT. WHEN I MAKE LEFT TURNS THE SEAT SWINGS UP. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STAY SEATED IN THE PROPER POSITION TO CORRECTLY HANDLE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO BE REPAIRED YET BUT IT IS APPARENT SOMETHING BROKE ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE CHAIR FRAME. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN FROM OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE NISSAN HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. IT CERTAINLY HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY INCIDENT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL WHEN IT SNAPPED. THIS VEHICLE IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT A NISSAN BUT THE LACK OF CUSTOMER CARE FOR SUCH A CHRONIC PROBLEM SAYS A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE COMPANY. *TR

LEFT REAR OF DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS CAUSED ME TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, ALMOST HITTING MULTIPLE CHILDREN WHO WERE WALKING HOME AFTER GETTING OFF THE SCHOOL BUS. I ONLY WEIGHT 218 LBS AND MY WIFE IS BARELY 100 LBS. THIS SEAT SHOULD NOT COLLAPSE UNDER NORMAL USE AND NORMAL ADULT WEIGHTS. I AM SURE IF I HAD GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT WOULD HAVE BROKEN LOOSE AND SERIOUS INJURY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NISSAN WANTS $1400 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A POPPING SENSATION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WHILE DRIVING. THEN OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE DRIVER'S SEAT STARTED A ROCKING MOTION. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WHILE DRIVING, THE SEAT JUST DROPPED ON THE LEFT SIDE. WHEN I GOT HOME MY HUSBAND TOOK A LOOK AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OFF. IT CONTINUED TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO NISSAN WHO LOOKED AT IT, TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE "ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY, FRONT" NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST $ 1350. I CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AND THERE WAS NO RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE? I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SEAT DROPPED. I WAS STARTLED. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH TO DEEM THE PROBLEM SEVERE ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECALL. I WOULD THINK NISSAN WOULD JUST FIX IT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS SO WIDE SPREAD. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, 10 MILES, IN 2006. AND IT HAS BEEN ONE THING OR ANOTHER. THIS CAR HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. SERVICED IT AS THE MANUAL SPECIFIED. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN TAKEN ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. MY DAILY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK IS APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AND GARAGED. FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS I WORKED FROM HOME SO THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN MUCH.

SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD POP. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING JUST SITTING THERE. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP SIGN, AS THE TIRES HIT THE DRAINAGE RUT IN THE ROAD, I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING THROWN FROM MY SEAT. THE LOUD POP WAS THE SHEARING OF A METAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENT ON THE SEAT TRACK UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT WAS SO MUCH THAT, HAD I BEEN REAR ENDED, MY HEAD WOULD HIT THE FRAME ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD OR THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. NISSAN CHARGED ME $1700 FOR THE REPAIR, CLAIMING I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, NISSAN CORPORATION REFUSES TO COVER ANY COST OF THE REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING MY 8YR OLD DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND IN THE MURANO, I WENT AROUND A LONG LEFT HAND BEND GOING 45 IN A 50MPH AREA - THE BACK LEFT BRACKET UNDER MY SEAT JUST SNAPPED, WHICH IN TURN MADE ME LEAN BACK AND TO THE LEFT, OF COURSE THIS THEN EFFECTED MY STEERING AND FOR A BRIEF INSTANT PULLED ME INTO THE OPPOSING LANE.

THIS BRACKET HAS SINCE BEEN REDESIGNED ON THE MORE RECENT MURANO'S TO BE MUCH STRONGER AND BASICALLY LOOKS AND WORKS LIKE THE OTHER 3 BRACKETS (THAT DON'T SNAP). THE BRACKET THAT SNAPPED ON MY CAR IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHERS IT'S A JOKE - AND SO DANGEROUS. I DID TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN DURHAM NC - BUT THEY TOLD ME A STRAIGHT UP "NO" WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX OR DO ANY KIND OF RECALL.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY THE SEAT MADE A POPPING NOISE AND COLLAPSED TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHICH IN TURN ALSO FORCED MY BODY TO LEAN INTO THE DOOR AND CAUSED ME TO MOMENTARILY JERK THE STEERING WHEEL BARELY AVOIDING A COLLISION. THE SEAT IS NOW BROKEN AND FORCES YOU TO SIT LEANING INTO THE DOOR AS THERE IS NO LONGER ANY SUPPORT. EVERY TIME I TURN OR IF I COME TO A QUICK STOP THE SEAT BOUNCES LIKE A RUBBER BAND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT THIS IS A SAFE WAY TO DRIVE A VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO THINK IT IS NOT THE WAY THAT THE MANUFACTURER TESTED OR INTENDED THE VEHICLE TO BE OPERATED. I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THE FAULTY BRACKET IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN ALL THE 2003-2008 NISSAN MURANOS. I ALSO FOUND THAT NISSAN MAKES A BRACKET THAT IS MUCH MORE STURDY AND THEY CHARGE YOU ALMOST $1000 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE KNOWINGLY ALLOWING THEIR FAULTY AND HAZARDOUS PARTS TO BE INSTALLED AT THE ASSEMBLY LINE INSTEAD OF USING THE UPGRADED BRACKET THAT IS ONE SOLID PIECE OF METAL.

WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, I HEARD A CRACK UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AFTERWARDS THE SEAT NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND LIFTS UP WHEN MAKING TURNS. I HAVE SEARCHED ALL OVER THE WEB AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH NISSAN DRIVERS SIDE SEATS ON SOME OF THEIR VEHICLES TO THE POINT THAT THEY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FACT THAT NISSAN IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I DRIVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND IT ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES ON IT. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WITH THE SEAT BRACKET LIFTER LINK ASSEMBLY. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

BOUGHT CAR USED IN MAY 2013. AUGUST 14 GOT INTO CAR IN MORNING FOR WORK AND SEAT FELT WOBBLY. WHEN I LEFT WORK AND GOT INTO CAR SEAT LEANED BACK AND TOWARDS DRIVERS DOOR. IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO MECHANICS SHOP AND WAS THEN TOLD THE SEAT SUPPORT HAD BROKEN AGAIN. HAD BEEN WELDED ONCE BEFORE AND WELD BROKE. WHEN LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT SEAT READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT NISSAN HAD MADE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT WAS A SOLID PIECE OF METAL THAT CORRECTED THE "Y" SHAPED BRACKET THAT HAS BROKEN REPEATEDLY ON MANY CARS USUALLY @ 75,000 MILES. NISSAN DID NOT GIVE THIS PIECE TO THE MURANOS OWNERS, INSTEAD SOLD IT TO THEM. FURIOUS AND DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN FOR NOT HAVING A RECALL.

I WAS ROUNDING A CURVE IN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND MY SEAT TRACK BROKE! I KNOW THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE VIA INTERNET RESEARCH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, MY SEAT WOULD FAIL COMPLETELY AND I'D BE BADLY INJURED OR AT WORST HURLED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD!! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!! FURTHERMORE, I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS!! ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT FOR A GRAPHIC DEATH BEFORE YOU FIX THIS ISSUE.

NISSAN- MURANO'S 2003-2010. WHILE TRAVELING AT APX. 20 MPH ON STRAIGHT ROAD WITH A PASSENGER, WE HEAR LOUD POP, 2006 MURANO. THEREAFTER, THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE REAR AND OFF BALANCE "ROCK LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR FROM SIDE TO SIDE, LEANING BACK ON ONE SIDE FEELING LIKE SEAT COULD JUST COME OFF COMPLETELY AND OUT OF LINE IN ITS ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION". AFTER INVESTIGATING FURTHER, A "DEFECTIVE METAL BRACING APPARATUS" THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE SEAT AND HAS FAILED ON MANY OR MOST OF THIS CLASS. CORPORATE NISSAN TELLS CLIENTS "SORRY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY", OR, NOT A COVERED ITEM ON LIMITED WARRANTIES. NISSAN IS AWARE THIS IS AN ENORMOUS PROBLEM, THE MAGNITUDE OF CARS BROUGHT IN, THE SAFETY ISSUES, BUT CONTINUED TO MANUFACTURE, PRODUCE, ADVERTISE, SELL CLAIM "REPAIR" SUCH VEHICLES. WHY NOT,"A GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY IS MADE FOR EVERY CLIENT COMING IN AT THEIR MERCY FOR THIS DEFECT". THIS PART FAILS ON NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE IS OPERATING THIS VEHICLE AT A HIGHER SPEED. THE CAR IS NOT MECHANICALLY SAFE, AND NISSAN IS RUNNING A BUSINESS ON EXCESSIVE CHARGES ON CUSTOMERS IN THE THOUSANDS TO HAVE " REPAIRED". IN ADDITION, THE REPAIRS ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND THE SAME DEFECTIVE MECHANISMS THAT FAILED ORIGINALLY ARE USED OVER AGAIN FOR REPAIRS. MANUFACTURING, SALES AND REPAIRS CONTINUE THEREAFTER FOR 7 YEARS OF MONEY MADE AT THE MERCY OF CUSTOMERS. A RECALL SHOULD BE INSTITUTED AND RESTITUTION TO ALL NISSAN OWNERS THAT HAVE OR WILL BE AFFECTED DUE TO GROSS NEGLIGENT LIABILITY ON PART OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THE (LEFT REAR SUPPORT) MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE ON DRIVERS SEAT, AND UNSUITABLE TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT OR WITHSTAND NORMAL FORCE. ITS MADE LIKE "TIN - FOIL" TO SUPPORT A DRIVER. AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION, RECALL AND CLASS ACTION SHOULD BE INSTITUTED ON ALL VEHICLES OF THIS CLASS! *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY LEANED TO THE LEFT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM IT WAS LEARNED THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LINK ASSEMBLY (SEAT FRAME) HAD FRACTURED AT THE END OF A POORLY DESIGNED BRACKET. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN (SEE "MURANO SEAT" ON THE INTERNET) IN RECOGNIZING THAT A PRODUCT RECALL SHOULD ISSUED. HOWEVER, WHAT IS EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING IS THAT NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE LINK ASSEMBLY DESIGN, BUT WILL NOT SELL THAT COMPONENT SEPARATELY. THEY ARE EXPECTING THE CONSUMER TO PAY IN EXCESS OF $1,000.00 TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY WITH THE SEAT MOTORS INCLUDED! IF THE NHTSA DOES NOT SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE - THAN WHAT IS? *TR

WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHE HEARD A LOUD POP AND SUDDENLY THE SEAT FELL TO THE LEFT AGAIN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. SHE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED SHE NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WAS VERY UNSTABLE AND WHEN PUSHED TO THE CENTER OF THE CAR WITH ONE FINGER WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. WHEN I WAS CALLED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE I FOUND THAT THE FRAME OF THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HAD SHEARED INTO TWO PIECES AND IN FACT SHE WAS RIGHT. THE SEAT WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE WEB AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER AMERICANS WHO BOUGHT THIS CAR. NOTE: THIS CAR IS A 2006 BUT, MY WIFE ONLY DRIVES IT ON THE WEEKENDS AND THE CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE AS INDICATED ABOVE. THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SEAT COULD NOW BREAK LOOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THE WHOLE SEAT COULD WIND UP FALLING INTO THE REAR SEAT AREA. THIS WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BE RIPPED OUT OF THE DRIVERS HANDS AND THEIR FEET WOULD BE PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS AND THE BRAKE PEDALS. *TR

THERE IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE DRIVERS SEAR ON THE NISSAN MURANO (2006-2011) HAS AN ISSUE WHERE THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED AND THE SEAT FRAME SNAPS AROUND 80,000 MILES. MY SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH DOWN THE STREET, ALMOST MAKING MY WIFE CRASH THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN, AND THEY OFFERED TO PAY 50% OF THE $1600 REPAIR. NOT FAIR TO ME AT ALL. I HAVE ESCALATED THE MATTER TO THE REGIONAL TEAM, AND THEY OFFERED NO MORE HELP AT ALL. READING OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN ISN'T ADMITTING TO THE POOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEAT, BUT HAS SINCE CHANGED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEAT IN RECENT MODELS TO A BETTER CONSTRUCTION OF THE FRAME WHERE IT SHOULD NOT BREAK. THIS SAME COMPLAINT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET; SEVERAL VIDEOS HAVE BEEN POSTED IN REGARDS TO EXACT SAME CLAIMS. *TR

I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AND TWICE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT MY SITUATION BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP QUOTED $2,476.68 PLUS TAX TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT SLIDE ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTER, ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PLASTIC SIDE FINISHERS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO EVEN CONSIDER OFFERING ASSISTANCE IN PAYMENT. RIGHT NOW I'M DRIVING WITH A PIECE OF 2X4 AND SOME SCREWS TO HOLD MY SEAT IN ONE POSITION. THIS IS NOT A LIGHT-HEARTED MATTER. NISSAN KNOWS THEY ARE NEGLIGENT AND REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE SEATS. MY MOST PRECIOUS CARGO IS MY 3 YR. OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. EVERY TIME I BUCKLE HER IN HER CAR SEAT, I PRAY TO GOD THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A COLLISION OF ANY KIND. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW - NOT AFTER AN ACCIDENT AND/OR DEATH CAUSED BY THE SEAT COMING COMPLETELY APART AND ME NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE CAR SAFELY. MY FAMILY DOES NOT WANT COMPENSATION FOLLOWING MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND/OR I BEING HOSPITALIZED OR KILLED.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE CHAIR. I CAN NOW LIFT MY ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT OFF OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRACK. AFTER I DID FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2003-2009 MURANOS. THE METAL BRACKET HOLDING THE SEAT ONTO THE TRACK BREAKS DUE TO THE METAL BEING TOO THIN. I HAVE READ WELL OVER 250 COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE WITH MURANOS. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX SINCE A "CAMPAIGN" (I.E. RECALL) HAS NOT BEEN ISSUES. I WAS QUOTED $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IRRESPONSIBLE AND NEGLIGENT ON NISSAN'S PART TO NOT RECALL THE MURANOS. I TOOK MY CAR TO 2 NISSAN SERVICE CENTERS AND BOTH MANAGERS KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SAID ITS COMMON PROBLEM. ONE EVEN WENT SO FAR TO CALL THE PART "DEFECTIVE" YET NISSAN WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS ON OTHER SEATS IN THE CAR. IT?S A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL A SEAT BREAKS AND FALLS OFF THE TRACK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING POTENTIAL DEATHS. NISSAN IS NEGLIGENT AND IRRESPONSIBLE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. THEY DO NO STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS OR HAVE THEIR CONSUMER?S BEST INTERESTS IN MIND. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BASED SOLELY ON SAFETY ISSUES. BELOW IS ONE OF MANY COMPLAINT SITES ABOUT THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2006/NISSAN/MURANO/SEAT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET UNDER 40 MPH (LIMIT 45) , COMING UP TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I NOTICED MY DRIVERS SEAT STARTED TO BOUNCE WHILE TRYING TO STOP. WHEN THE SEAT COMES BACK DOWN IT GIVES A THUMPING SOUND. SHORT TIME LATER WHEN I ARRIVED HOME A SHOCKING FEELING CAME OVER ME AFTER I SAW MY DRIVER SEAT BOUNCE LOOSE WITH ONLY A PUSH OF A SMALL FINGER. I WAS SCARED THAT MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER ,IF I HAD TO DO AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER DUE TO A NON SECURE SEAT EVEN WITH SEAT BELTS. THEN I REALIZED I COULD HAVE PLACED OTHER PEOPLE IN HARMS WAY BY HAVING MY SEAT BREAK OFF AND FLIPPING BACKWARDS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REACH THE BRAKES.

INTERNET RESEARCH AND DISCUSSIONS WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE (LOCAL FACILITY) IS VERY AWARE OF THE SEAT PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAILED BRACKETS WITH THE 2003-2009 MURANO. TO DATE, I BELIEVE THERE HAVE BEEN NO FATALITIES CAUSED BY THE SUDDEN BREAKAGE, BUT IN I MY HUMBLE OPINION, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I AM STUNNED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL.

IT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH NOW BECAUSE THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SEAT IS BROKEN. MY SEAT LITERALLY FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE CAR FLOOR NOW. I DECIDED TO LOOK THIS PROBLEM UP ONLINE AND I WAS ASTOUNDED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF 2006 NISSAN MURANOS WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT SAME SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS AS WHAT I HAD. WHAT WAS EVEN MORE INCREDULOUS TO ME WAS THE FAT THAT NISSAN HASN'T PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND EXPECTS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THE SEAT WHICH APPARENTLY IS GOING TO COST ME UP TO $1500 FOR THE SEAT. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD PUT OUT A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT MAKES THE CAR VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND CAN CAUSE THE DRIVE TO JERK TO THE LEFT WHEN THE SEAT LUNGES BACKWARDS POSSIBLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM, SO IT MAKES ME WONDER AFTER MY ORDEAL, HOW LONG BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED FROM THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. , NISSAN HAS TO BE AWARE OF IT ,BUT STILL THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC . PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE IS ON TOP OF THIS BECAUSE ITS NOT A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR OR A HEAD LAMP FUSE, THIS IS THE DRIVER SEAT .IS THERE ANY MORE IMPORTANT THING IN THE CAR THAN KEEPING THE DRIVER IN CONTROL ?

I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I FOUND A PLASTIC CUP TALL ENOUGH TO HOLD UP THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE SEAT SO I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE US HOME. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER BARELY MAKING IT AND CANT AFFORD A $1200 REPAIR. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALERSHIPS OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE STATED THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. THIS COMMON ISSUE, HAD I BEEN DRIVING WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY. I PURCHASED THIS USED AND NOW I KNOW WHY THE PRIOR TWO OWNERS GOT RID OF IT. I ALSO WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT NISSAN CARED ABOUT THE PEOPLE PURCHASING THEIR VEHICLES. I WANTED A SAFE TRUCK TO TRANSPORT MY CHILD.

THE FIRST TIME THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR OFFERED TO WELD IT FOR JUST UNDER $500.00 DOLLARS OR REPLACE THE FRAME FOR JUST OVER $1300.00 DOLLARS. ADDITIONALLY, I PURCHASED A "CERTIFICATION" WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT USED (2009 WITH 7900 MILES) AND THE CERTIFICATION, ALTHOUGH STILL ACTIVE, DOES NOT COVER THIS PART. IF I HAD PURCHASED A "GOLD" CERTIFICATION, IT WOULD HAVE BE COVERED. I OPTED TO GO TO A LOCAL, FULL SERVICE AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS WELDED FOR $150.00. I RE-CONTACTED THE SAME LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AGAIN AND THEY OFFERED TO RESEARCH THE INCIDENT AND ATTEMPT TO HELP. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD THAT THE LOCAL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPRESENTATIVE DENIED COVERING ANY PART OF THE REPAIR.

THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS ON ORDER BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SALESMAN CONTACTED ME AND SAID HE HAD BAD NEWS, THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART IN STOCK AND WOULD HAVE TO BACK ORDER IT.

HEARD POPPING SOUND ON LEFT SIDE OF DRIVER SEAT A FEW DAYS LATTER BACK LEFT SIDE GIVES WAY AND SEAT ROCKS DOWN. PULLING SEAT OFF, FOUND THAT REAR BRACKET BROKE AWAY FROM FRAME.

DANGEROUS AND UNETHICAL THAT NISSAN WILL NOT RESPOND NOR FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BROKE. IT WOULD LIFT ON BACK LEFT SIDE. WE NOTICED SEAT ROCKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. WE THOUGHT MAYBE A BOLT HAD BROKEN? I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE FRAME IS BENT/BROKEN? AND WHOLE SEAT HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR $900. LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY ON NISSAN MURANOS. AT THAT PRICE I WOULD CHOSE TO NOT REPLACE THE SEAT IF I WASN'T AFRAID THAT THE SEAT WILL COME OFF COMPLETELY, SENDING ME THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I AM HAVING IT REPLACED NEXT WED. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN HEARING THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL, THEY HAVE ONLY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN. IT SEEMS LIKE A CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD AND REQUEST IT BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET I HEARD A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING HAD CRACKED, AND FELT THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVE. AFTER PULLING OVER, I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT COULD BE ROCKED BACK AND FORTH BY HAND - IT WAS NO LONGER STABLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE BACK LEFT PART OF THE SEAT BRACKET HAD FAILED. I WAS LATER TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION AVAILABLE WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT, WHICH WAS GOING TO COST OVER $1,000. I FOUND A WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2006/NISSAN/MURANO/SEAT) WHERE 242 OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. EITHER THE BRACKET OR THE ASSEMBLY (WELDING) OF IT APPEAR TO BE DEFECTIVE.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME. THE METAL ULTIMATELY BREAKS DUE TO STRESS LEAVING THE SEAT ON A TILT . IT ALSO CAUSES THE BACK PORTION OF THE SEAT TO NOT BE STABLE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND NUMEROUS SITES ON THE INTERNET OUTLINING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD SENT OUT. THE DEALER THAT I TOOK MY CAR TO FOR REPAIR WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN CORRECTED IN NEW MODELS BUT NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED DUE TO EXPENSE TO NISSAN. THEY DID SUGGEST A NEW SEAT FRAME FOR $1600.

NOTICED ONE DAY THAT THE SEAT WAS WOBBLY. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT A MANUFACTURER'S WELD HAD FAILED.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WAS NOTED BROKEN BY MOSSY NISSAN (1546 AUTO PRKWY 92029) IN AUGUST 2012 DURING A REPAIR FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE. HEAD TECHNICIAN AT MOSSY NISSAN PAUL AND SERVICE MAN [XXX] CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY WELDING JOB TO THE SEAT TRACK. REPAIR WAS MADE AUGUST 23RD DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS AND THE FACT THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. MOSSY OFFERED A MORE COST EFFECTIVE REPAIR (ORIGINAL REPAIR ENTAILED REPLACING THE WHOLE DRIVERS SEAT TOTALING OVER $1,000 PLUS LABOR) BY OUTSOURCING TO A LOCAL WELDING SHOP FOR HALF THE PRICE AT $530. IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO THE SAME MODEL OF CAR IN RECENT YEARS. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT OF WELDING JOB ON SAID VEHICLE DUE TO PAST REPAIR AT MOSSY NISSAN ON DECEMBER 26TH 2011 FOR REPLACEMENT OF REAR LOWER MOTOR MOUNT TOTALING $627.75. JUST MONTHS BEFORE THE NEXT WELDING REPAIR IN AUGUST 2012. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A CONSUMER REPAIR FOR EITHER CASE AND I AM SEEKING THE FULL REFUND OF $530 AND $627.75 FOR SAID REPAIRS.

THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME... I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T NISSAN STEPPED IN AND ISSUED A RECALL TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

THE DRIVERS SEAT LEFT BRACKET BROKE FREE FROM FRAME, CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT TO THE LEFT AND WOBBLE WHEN YOU DRIVE AND TAKE CORNERS. AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS WITH THE MURANO AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE GETTING A RECALL OFF THE GROUND. IT IS THE SAME WELD THE SAME SIDE OF THE SAME SEAT IN EACH MURANO, HOW MUCH LOGIC DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS UNDER RECALL? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CHAIR IS UNSTABLE. ALSO COMMON SENSE TELLS US WITH THE LEFT SIDE BROKEN THE RIGHT SIDE WELD IS UNDER MORE STRESS AND PHYSICS WILL PROVE IT WILL BREAK AS WELL LEAVING THE DRIVING SEAT UNATTACHED COMPLETELY AND THE DRIVER USING THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM BEING THROWN INTO THE BACK SEAT. I CALLED NISSAN AND GOT A BUNCH OF BS PROPAGANDA DOUBLE SPEAK AND FEEL LIKE ANY COMPLAINT I WAS TRYING TO FILE WAS CRUMPLED AND TOSSED INTO THE TRASH BEFORE I WAS EVEN OFF THE PHONE. I HAVE LOVED MY MURANO UP TO THIS POINT, BUT SINCE NISSAN WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK OR CORRECT WHAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTER'S DEFECT, THEN I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER ONE. EVER! *TR

MY NISSAN MURANO 2006 DRIVER SEAT STARTED ROCKING LAST WEEK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND FOUND THAT THE LEFT SEAT TRACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PART COST IS $1118.90 AND WITH LABOR, IT'LL COST OVER $1400. I FOUND THIS ISSUE IN THE "DEFECT INVESTIGATION" FOR MY VEHICLE THAT WAS OPENED IN 2009 AND CLOSED IN 2010. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, THIS WAS NOT FOUND TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE ALSO NOTICED MANY (VERY MANY) COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T GET IT FIXED AND IF THERE'S AN URGENCY. HE SAID THAT IF I DON'T GET IT FIXED, THE OTHER TRACK MAY BREAK AS WELL. AND IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE WHOLE SEAT COULD FLIP BACKWARDS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN, THIS HAS NOT BEEN MADE MORE SERIOUS. WHY KNOWING THERE'S A DEFECT, A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PUT ON THIS ISSUE AND WHY THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT DONE THEIR PART TO ADDRESS THIS DEFECT. PLEASE RECONSIDER OPENING AN INVESTIGATION. NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE $1400 TO PUT DOWN ON A "SEAT" ISSUE THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN THE FIRST PLACE. THANKS! *JS

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO BRAND NEW. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, I UNDERSTAND THAT MY COMPLIANT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED NUMEROUS TIMES, BY MANY CONSUMERS AND THAT AN INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND CLOSED. WITH THAT SAID, A NEW INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTERS NEEDS TO OCCUR AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTINUES TO FLOP DOWN, CAUSING LIMITED VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. THIS IMPAIRS VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS THAT THE DEFECT HASN'T RESULTED IN A CASUALTY YET, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS DEFECT. NEXT, THE SEAT ANCHOR BRACKET/FRAME ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IS BROKEN AND HAS CAUSED THE SEAT TO LEAN TO THE LEFT CONSIDERABLY. THE SEAT IS UNSTABLE AND ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING, WHICH AGAIN, IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BY NHTSA INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM RESULTS FROM METAL FATIGUE. WHEN IN AUTOMOBILE HISTORY HAS THIS OCCURRED? AS I UNDERSTAND, IT WILL COST OVER $1,000 TO GET THIS FIXED. NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. I HOPE THEY ARE NOT WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE ACTUALLY DIES BEFORE THEY REALIZE THESE DEFECTS ARE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT BECAME LOOSE AROUND THE LEFT REAR FLOOR AREA OF THE SEAT FRAME. THE SEAT MOTORS STILL WORKED BUT THE SEAT MOVEMENT WAS ROUGH AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GRINDING WHEN ENGAGED. A NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $946.00. *TR

THE BRACKET UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE AS I WAS TURNING A CORNER. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT DROPPED SEVERAL INCHES AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD.

NOW THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE I DRIVE/ACCELERATE/DECELERATE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE PART OF THE BRACKET THAT BROKE WAS A POORLY DESIGNED V SHAPED PUNCHED METAL LINK WHICH DEVELOPED STRESS FRACTURES AT THE WEAK POINTS. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH MURANOS '03-'08, AND IS ADDRESSED UNDER A TSB, HOWEVER A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND COMBINED WITH OTHER DEFECTIVE ISSUES SUCH AS A LEAKING STEERING RACK AND DRIVER VISOR WHICH REFUSES TO STAY UP, I AM NOT LIKELY TO EVER OWN A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVER'S POWER SEAT FRAME BROKEN. SEAT TILTS TO THE LEFT AND NOT SECURELY FASTENED TO FLOOR. SAFETY CONCERN AS FRAME SNAPPED AND BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. SAFETY CONCERN IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT . THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PART NEEDED TO FIX SEAT. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE MODELS IN 2003---2007. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. * JS

THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT SOMEHOW BROKE UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT SIDE AND WOBBLES TO THE FRONT AND BACK. THEREFORE HAVING TO ACCELERATE, DECELERATE, TURN CORNERS AND GO OVER ROUGH ROAD CAUSES THE SEAT TO MOVE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THIS IS A NISSAN DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL NOTICE AND CORRECTED BY NISSAN FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SEAT AND FOR MANY, THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE SOME OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WHICH FLOPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN RETURNED TO IT'S NORMAL PLACE, IT WILL FALL DOWN. THIS CAUSES ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THE VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED AND AN ACCIDENT COULD VERY WELL OCCUR. PLEASE ADDRESS THESE DESIGN FLAWS FOR RECALLS. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO S THE SEAT WAS LOOSE WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR. IT APPEARS A METAL BRACKET BROKE ABOUT THE CONNECTION POINT TO THE SEAT . THIS LITTLE PIECE OF METAL L-BRACKET HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABILITY FOR THE SEAT TO RISE AND LOWER. SINCE IT HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DOESN'T COVER IT BECAUSE THEY SAY THE SEAT BRACKET IS NOT A SAFETY ITEM. I NOW HAVE A SEAT THAT ROCKS AND MOVES AROUND WHILE DRIVING/TURNING. I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SEVERAL TIMES. IT SEEMS THE SEAT CAN BE FIXED FOR A MERE $1300. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANY CARS FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC IN OVER 40 YEARS OF OWNING A CAR. I CAN'T THINK OF ANY PART FAILURES WHERE THE MANUFACTURER WON'T ADMIT THEIR PART JUST MIGHT NOT BE DESIGNED FOR THE STRESSES IT IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE DURING NORMAL USAGE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW SHOULD THIS GET ANY ATTENTION. HOWEVER FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO USE THE CAR , I FIND THAT I WILL NEED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THAT TO ME IS A PRIORITY EVEN THOUGH NISSAN HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION. *JS

WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE, I HEARD A POP AND MY SEAT IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE LEFT AND ROCKED BACKWARD. MY FOOT MOVED AWAY FROM THE ACCELERATED AND THERE WAS SOME LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT CONTINUED TO ROCK AS I DROVE. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP, THE CAR LUNGED AND WITH GRAVITY MY SEAT ROCKED BACKWARD DECREASING THE PRESSURE OF MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. I HAVE TO HOLD MYSELF UP ON THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING TO KEEP THE SEAT SOMEWHAT STABLE. IF I HAVE TO MANUEVER A DEEP CURVE EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT IT IS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE WHILE BRACING MYSELF TO KEEP THE SEAT STILL. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SEAT ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE IN THE COMPLAINTS THAT A NISSAN MECHANIC ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND THEY EVEN ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC SAFETY.

SEAT JUMPS OFF ITS TRACK FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE DRIVING. ON A CURVE OR THROUGH A PUMP ON THE ROAD CAUSES TEMPORARY DISRUPTION OF THE DRIVER'S FOCUS ON THE ROAD THEREBY LOOSING TEMPORARY CONTROL AND INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH. *TR

AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEAT COLLAPSING, WHEEL BEARING GOING OUT, VISORS FALLING BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, STEERING HOSES BRAKING CAUSING FIRE, IN VEHICLES WITH LOW MILEAGE I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS.

I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT IT AND THE PERSON THAT ANSWERED MY CALL JUST TOLD ME I'M VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BUT NONE OF YOU MURANO PROBLEMS ARE ON RECALL SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF YOUR POCKET. I WILL APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN HELP ME ( AND HUNDREDS OF COSTUMERS) WITH THIS ISSUE THAT NISSAN JUST KEPT ON GETTING AWAY WITH IT, I BEEN VERY CLOSE TO CRASH DUE THESE PROBLEMS AND SEEMS THAT NISSAN DO NOT CARE ABOUT SAFETY ONLY MONEY. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING - DRIVING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL. DRIVER SIDE SEAT SUDDENLY FELL ON THE LEFT SIDE. INJURING MY BACK. THE SEAT BRACKET ON THE LEFT REAR SEEMS TO BE CRACKED/BROKEN. THE SEATS ROCKS FORCEFULLY WITHOUT NOTICE UP AND DOWN EVEN ON SLIGHT TURNS. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR ON A VERY HIGH ELEVATED FREEWAY TURN AS WHEN I TURNED TO THE LEFT, THE SEAT ABRUPTLY CAME UP TURNING MY BODY TO THE RIGHT - THAT MOVEMENT MADE ME THEN SUDDENLY PULL DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH THEN FORCED THE CAR TO SUDDENLY SWERVE TO THE LEFT. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE NEXT TO ME AND I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ON A HIGHER SPEED FREEWAY TURN RAMP, THERE WOULD BE A HIGH CHANCE THAT THEY WOULD LOOSE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, DEPENDING ON ROADWAY AND SPACE/DESIGN. THE CAR IS NOW VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS YOU HAVE TO TRY AND BALANCE YOURSELF USING YOUR LEFT LEG/FOOT PULLED UP TO SEAT. WHEN CORNERING YOU HAVE TO PUT SO MUCH ATTENTION ON TRYING NOT TO SWERVE AS THE SEAT RISES & DROPS YOU DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY YOU ARE TURNING. THE RISING AND DROPPING ON TURNS, NATURALLY PULLS OR PUSHES YOUR BODY WHICH IS HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL - THIS THEN CAUSES A SEVERE SUDDEN PULL ONE OR THE OTHER WAY. IT ALSO TAKES YOUR ATTENTION OFF THE ROAD AND SURROUNDINGS. IN CONCLUSION, WHEN RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE SEEN THIS UNDER DEFECTS BUT NO RECALL. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS POORLY DESIGNED LOWER SEAT FRAME AND ONE DAY THIS WILL END UP KILLING SOMEONE. I SURE HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE THAT TO BECOME A RECALL ITEM. *TT

ON JUNE 25TH, 2011, I GOT INTO MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO (THE MILEAGE IS ONLY AT: 47,228) TO FIND MY DRIVER'S-SIDE SEAT HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR ON THE BACK LEFT SIDE. THE CHAIR ISN'T 'A LITTLE LOOSE'-IT COMES COMPLETELY OFF THE FLOOR ON THAT SIDE. WHEN I MADE A BROAD LEFT TURN ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FELT THE SEAT TILT UNDERNEATH ME AND, EVEN THOUGH I WAS DRIVING VERY CAREFULLY, IT STILL SCARED ME. I GRIPPED THE WHEEL TIGHTLY BUT BECAUSE MY BODY WAS BEING SENT TO THE RIGHT, THE CAR WENT THAT DIRECTION AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE, BUT HAD I TAKEN THE TURN FASTER AND NOT BEEN AWARE THAT MY SEAT MIGHT SHIFT, IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME COMPLETELY BY SURPRISE AND I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN THE CIVIC NEXT TO ME. I WENT ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, TOO MANY OF WHICH DETAIL HOW THE SEAT BROKE WHILE THE DRIVER WAS TAKING A TURN OR COMING TO A STOP, AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO SWERVE INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC, JERK THE CAR ONTO A SIDEWALK NEARLY HITTING PEDESTRIANS, OR CAUSED THEM TO DROP BACK SO HARD THEY SLAM THEIR SHOULDER AND HEAD INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR (PLEASE SEE WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/NISSAN/MURANO/SEAT TO SEE JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUT IN DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF THIS BRACKET DEFECT). AND THAT IS JUST ONE WEBSITE FULL OF ANGRY CONSUMERS THAT CANNOT BELIEVE THE DANGER THEY WERE PUT IN, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE NISSAN KNOWS THIS BRACKET IS DEFECTIVE IN FIVE YEARS WORTH OF MURANO MODELS (2003-2007). IT OBVIOUSLY SEVERELY COMPROMISES THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAN HAPPEN SO SUDDENLY WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF COMING TO A STOP LIGHT OR SIMPLY GOING AROUND A CURB. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, THE LOOSE SEAT MADE ME JERK MY CAR EVEN THOUGH I WAS DRIVING CAREFULLY AND WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, SO I CAN'T IMAGINE MY REACTION IF IT HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WHILE TAKING A TIGHTER, FASTER TURN. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I LUCKILY MAINTAINED CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE DESPITE THE SUDDEN ROCK BACK IN THE SEAT. I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS AND I WEIGH UNDER 200 LBS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT I AM AWARE OF. I THEN TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ME $600 WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR. I JUST TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE KNEW THE PIECES AND PRICES. IT SEEMS TO BE AN INCREDIBLY COMMON PROBLEM BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT SO FAR. THIS SEAT BREAKING COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, INJURIES, OR EVEN DEATH WHEN IT HAPPENS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS FORUM AND I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS IN SEVERAL OTHER FORUMS. WILL THIS BE ALLOWED TO BE CONTINUED AT THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS OR WILL THIS PROBLEM BE RESOLVED?

TOOK THE CAR INTO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET THE SEAT LOOKED AT AND WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE A $1300 REPAIR BECAUSE NISSAN DOES NOT MAKE THE PART THAT WAS DEFECTIVE, THEREFORE WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE ENTIRE SEAT REPLACED.

2006 NISSAN MURANO SL ELECTRIC DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FAILURE. YESTERDAY MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT MADE A SNAPPING NOISE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND THE SEAT SLUMPED / SLANTED TO THE LEFT SO I WAS LEANING TOWARD THE DRIVERS DOOR AS I WAS DRIVING. I STOPPED THE CAR AND CHECKED THE SEAT BY SHAKING IT FIRMLY. THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT SEEMED TO BE DETACHED FROM THE FRAME RAILS OF THE VEHICLE SO THE SEAT LITERALLY FLOPPED BACK AND FORTH. FROM THE UNDERSIDE REAR OF THE SEAT I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE BROKEN BRACKET THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT TO THE FRAME, IT IS SNAPPED/SHEARED OFF. I AM ONLY 230LBS AND HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST OVER A YEAR PURCHASING IT USED. I HAVE NEVER ABUSED THE SEAT OR THE VEHICLE. AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH THIS MORNING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART AND IT SEEMS MANY MURANO'S FROM ALL YEARS SUFFER THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALER IS CHARGING $1000+TO FIX IT, OR YOU CAN HAVE SOMEBODY WELD THE PART. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BUT AFTER THE RESEARCH IT IS CLEAR IT IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE QUALITY OF THE METAL OR THE DESIGN OF THE PART WHICH IS SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY ITEM. I WAS JUST DRIVING WHEN IT SNAPPED, HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH NISSAN VEHICLES HAVEN'T SNAPPED YET BUT ARE IN A WEAKENED STATE WHICH COULD JUST LET LOOSE DURING AN ACCIDENT. I AM GOING TO COMPLAIN TO NISSAN BUT I EXPECT IT WILL GO NO WHERE. THANK YOU. *TR

I ASKED THE REP WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT HE SAID "OOOHH GET BRING IT BACK TOMORROW WE WILL GET IT CHECKED OUT FREE OF CHARGE". THOSE WERE HIS EXACT WORDS. I SAID OKAY NO BIG DEAL, TOOK THE VEHICLE DOWN THE NEXT MORNING LET THEM LOOK AT IT I RECEIVED A CALL TELLING ME THE SEAT FRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THEY REPLACED IT FOR FREE. MONTHS GO NO ISSUE UNTIL ONE DAY I'M DRIVING WITH MY NEPHEW IN THE BACK AND I GO TO TAKE A TURN AND THE SEAT FRAME SNAPPED AGAIN NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CAR IN THE OTHER LANE. I FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND NOTICED THE FRAME WAS BROKEN AGAIN. I PROCEEDED TO CALL MY DEALER I TALKED TO THE REP HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO SEE IF IT'S UNDER WARRANTY, HE SAID HE WOULD CALL ME BACK HE NEVER DID. EXTREMELY VEX I CALLED NISSAN TALKED TO A REP THE FIRST TIME COMPLETE BONE HEAD. TALKED TO ANOTHER REP NAMED YOLANDA BROWN SHE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN TO THEM, I HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET BECAUSE SCHOOL IS NOW IN SESSION AND I'M TIED UP, HOWEVER I WILL BE TAKING IT DOWN THERE THIS WEEK. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH ON THIS FAILURE OF A DESIGN FOR A SEAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN COULD PUT SUCH A POOR QUALITY PRODUCT IN THEIR CAR. WHEREVER I LOOK EVERYONE IS SAYING TAKE IT TO YOUR LOCAL MECHANIC AND LET HIM WELD IT OR FABRICATE A PART FOR YOU. IF THINGS DO NOT WORK OUT WITH NISSAN I MIGHT GO THAT ROUTE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 NISSAN MURANO. UPON TAKING A TURN, THE DRIVERS SEAT SUDDENLY SHIFTED TO ONE SIDE. (MY WIFE IS MEDIUM BUILD, ABOUT 155 POUNDS.) WHEN SHE RETURNED HOME, I INSPECTED THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT ONE OF THE MOUNTING BRACES UNDER THE SEAT HAD BROKEN. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE. I RESEARCHED THIS ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AT ALL AN UNUSUAL THING THAT HAPPENS TO THESE SEATS. I WENT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE HAD 4 CASES OF THIS HAPPENING RECENTLY. THE SERVICE MAN (SCOTT) EVEN TOLD ME THIS HAPPENED TO HIS 2005 MURANO. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1100. EVEN IF I REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE NEW SEAT WOULDN'T BREAK AS WELL, SINCE IT IS THE SAME DESIGN. THEY AGREED THAT THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE SEATS, NOT ONLY ON THE 2006 MODELS, BUT OTHER YEARS AS WELL. SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS MORE THAN 36 MONTH OLD, THERE WAS NO WARRANTY OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY KIND OFFERED BY NISSAN. THEY AGREED THAT ALL THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE WAS TO REMOVE THE SEAT AND SPOT WELD THE BROKEN BRACKET, BUT THAT THEY "HAD NO WELDING EQUIPMENT" AND SUGGESTED I FIND SOMEONE WHO WELDS AND TAKE CARE OF IT MYSELF. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT NISSAN WOULD BE CONCERNED THAT ONE OF THESE SEATS MIGHT BREAK WHILE AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO OVERSHIFT AND BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT IS MY HOPE THAT SOMETHING BE DONE BY NISSAN TO REMEDY THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

AT FIRST IT LOOKED LIKE A NEW TRIANGULAR BRACKET WOULD BE NEEDED TO REPAIR THE BREAK, BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT THE TRACK IS ONE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY.

ON 12/28/10 I WAS RETURNING FROM A SKIING TRIP AND STOPPED WITH MY KIDS FOR SOME FAST FOOD. UPON RETURNING TO MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO, I OPENED THE DOOR AND AS SOON AS I SAT ON THE DRIVERS SEAT, I HEARD A "BANG" AND THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT SANK. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE LEFT REAR MOUNTING BRACKET ON THE SEAT HAD SNAPPED. MY VEHICLE IS 5 YRS. OLD AND I JUST HIT 165,000 MILES. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE OWNED 8 OTHER CARS PRIOR TO THIS MURANO AND HAVE PUT MILEAGE ON THEM RANGING FROM 157,000 (CHEVY MALIBU) TO 98,000 (DODGE SPIRIT) AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A PROBLEM. A SEAT BRACKET IS A NON-MOVING PART AND IS CRITICAL TO DRIVER/PASSENGER SAFETY IN THAT IT KEEPS THE OCCUPANT STABLE SO THAT THE SEAT BELTS CAN PROPERLY RESTRAIN IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. NOW WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT I TIP TO THE LEFT (TOWARDS THE DOOR) AND THE SEAT MOVES UP/DOWN WHEN I MAKE TURNS. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CONDITION. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN INTERNET FORUMS AND IT JUST SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO ME THAT A METAL, NON-MOVING PART SITUATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE (AND NOT SUBJECT TO RUST OR WHETHER) THAT IS SO CRITICAL TO SAFETY SHOULD JUST SPONTANEOUSLY FAIL. IF I WERE A LARGER PERSON, I COULD POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND, HOWEVER, AT 200LBS. I AM NOT MUCH OUT OF THE RANGE OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN MALE AND SUCH A PART SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO HANDLE SUCH STRESSES. GOD KNOWS HOW THIS BRACKET WOULD HAVE HANDLED A CRASH! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED VIA A RECALL AS IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN DEALERS ARE CHARGING FROM $500 TO $1,200 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.

2006 NISSAN MURANO, BROKEN DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME. FAILED WHILE DRIVING, TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST HIT AN ONCOMING CAR. THE SEAT FRAME REPAIR COST AT THE DEALER IS NEARLY $1,400. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR CITING IT NOT BEING THE SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD NEVER BREAK ON A VEHICLE, LET ALONE A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABILITY OF THE SEAT TO MAINTAIN ITS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN THAT I HAVE WITH THIS SEAT AND WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I WILL BE SELLING IT WHEN I HAVE IT PAID FOR IN A FEW SHORT MONTHS AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. NISSAN'S HANDLING OF THIS ISSUE HAS COST THEM MY FUTURE BUSINESS. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE WHICH LED ME TO THIS SITE AS WELL AS UNCOVERED A HOST OF THE VERY SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER MURANOS. IT APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM WITH MURANOS OF THIS VINTAGE. NISSAN DOES NOT AGREE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I DISAGREE WITH THEIR ASSESSMENT AS A SEAT COMING UNATTACHED FROM THE VEHICLE'S FRAME HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY. VIN NUMBER AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.* TR

THE MOUNT UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BROKE AND DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE/OPERATE THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS LEANING SEVERLY TO THE LEFT AND MOVING AROUND. IF THERE HAD BEEN AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY BECOME COMPLETELY SEPERATED FROM THE CAR SINCE THERE WAS ONLY 1 BRACKET HOLDING IT ON INSTEAD OF 2.

THE DRIVERS SEAT OF MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO CRACKED AT THE WELD IN THE FRAME CAUSING THE SEAT TO DROP AT A STEEP ANGLE IN THE BACK. FORTUNATELY THE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS GETTING IN THE VEHICLE RATHER THAN WHEN I WAS DRIVING AS IT SURELY WOULD HAVE CAUSED A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNDRIVEABLE SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER CONCURRED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR, NOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT TRANSPORTATION WHILE THE APPROPRIATE PARTS WERE ORDERED AND INSTALLED WHICH SPANNED SEVERAL DAYS. I AM EXTREMELY DISPLEASED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF DEALING WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT JAMMED IN ONE POSITION AND WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WELD ON THE FRAME BROKE AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT WARRANT WELDING IT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRAME, WHICH INCLUDED ALL MOTORS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND THE COST WOULD BE $1,400. I THOUGHT THE COST WAS ASTRONOMICAL FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT NOW OBVIOUSLY MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SEAT MAY BREAK AWAY FROM THE FRAME COMPLETELY AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AFTER MY WIFE AND I WENT ONLINE AND VIEWED SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY DEFAULT!

DRIVER'S SEAT REAR TUBE IS BROKEN ON LEFT SIDE AFTER 82 KMILES OF NORMAL DRIVING ON PAVED ROADS ONLY, MOSTLY HIGHWAY. BOTH DRIVERS WEIGH LESS THAN 190 LBS. MATERIAL STRENGTH / THICKNESS IS INSUFFICIENT FOR THE LOADS THE TUBE NEEDS TO CARRY AT THAT LOCATION. THE WHOLE SEAT (CUSHION AND BACKREST) ROTATES UP/DOWN ABOUT THE FRONT AND TO THE LEFT APPROX. 4-5 INCHES WHEN THE BACKREST IS PUSHED LIGHTLY TOWARD MID CAR DIRECTION. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IT'S SURPRISING THAT THE SEAT PASSED FMVSS 208/301 (DYNAMIC FRONT AND REAR CRASH TESTS) DURING DV AND PV. OK SO NEW CAREFULLY ASSEMBLED SEAT FRAMES MUST HAVE PASSED THOSE TESTS, BUT ISN'T NISSAN ALSO RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THE BUILT-IN SEAT SAFETY FACTOR IS HIGH ENOUGH TO OVERCOME MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES AND FATIGUE ISSUES FROM NORMAL DRIVING FOR PRODUCTION SEAT FRAMES SUCH THAT UNDER A FRONT OR A REAR CRASH EVENT THE SEATS ACTUALLY DO PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION AND AT LEAST DO NOT INCREASE THE DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS? THIS IS FAULTY ENGINEERING. THERE ARE MANY CASES FOR PRE-2008 MODEL MURANO WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND, I ASSUME, IN YOUR DATABASE. TO ENSURE NISSAN AND OTHER VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FOR FATIGUE, MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES AND/OR QUALITY, NHTSA SHOULD PROMPT A SAFETY RECALL. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY >$1000 TO FIX A SEAT THAT NISSAN PAYS LESS THAN $150 TO ASSEMBLE IN THE VEHICLE, AS THIS WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO REWARDING AND SUPPORTING FAULTY ENGINEERING. *TR

ADD ME TO THE LIST OF 2006 NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WHO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME/BRACKET/ANCHOR/RAIL THAT BREAKS OR FAILS. OUR VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE AND INITIALLY WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER THE LOCAL NISSAN SHOP GURU INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED OF COURSE DOES NOT COVER THIS EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE SEAT ON THE BROCHURE. LIKE OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD $1000+ TO REPAIR. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WOULD RE-OPEN THEIR INVESTIGATION AS IT WAS CLOSED ON 7/2/09 AND IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE TAKES A COUPLE OF YEARS TO MANIFEST. OUT OF THE 108 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED 23 WERE PRIOR TO THE DATE THE INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED 11/18/08, SO 85 WERE AFTER THAT OR MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. MY HOPE IS THAT THEY RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION DUE TO ONGOING COMPLAINTS RELATING TO AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. ISN'T THE OBJECTIVE TO IDENTIFY AN ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND HAVE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY NISSAN IS NOT MOTIVATED DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY SOLD OVER 500,000 1ST GENERATION MURANOS(IT IS NOT JUST THE 2006 MODEL THAT HAS THESE ISSUES). SO IF IT IS $1,000 PER REPAIR ON A RECALL AT 500,000 UNITS THE TOTAL PRICE TAG IS 500 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS FIX. WELL NO WONDER WHY THIS HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. THAT IS REALLY THE BOTTOM LINE I BELIEVE. *TR

THE SEAT ALSO BOUNCES UP AND DOWN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MURANO AND NISSAN'S EXCUSE IS "WEAR AND TEAR." SERIOUSLY??? NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SEAT FOR $1000 +. THE SECOND PART THAT HAS FAILED IS THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR. WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP, THE SUN VISOR SWIVELS DOWN AND TOTALLY BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VIEW OUT THE WINDOW. THIS IS NOT SAFE. NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SUN-VISOR FOR $350. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH 29K MILES. WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS I FELT A POP IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEARD A METALLIC SOUND FROM UNDER THE SEAT. FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS FELT UNSTABLE AND WOULD MOVE FREELY DURING TURNS AND NORMAL ACCELERATION/BRAKING. THIS INCIDENT SEEMS COMMON BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH AND IS REFERRED TO AS A BACK-LEFT LEANING PROBLEM. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT NO RECALL. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

MY 2006 MURANO DRIVER SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. IT LEANS VERY FAR TO THE LEFT WHEN TURNING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT A SEAT WOULD STAY ATTACHED TO A VEHICLE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO FIX THE SEAT. *CN

I AM A 5'9" WOMAN WHO WEIGHS 150 POUNDS. MY NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT TIPS WHENEVER I MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT AND POSSIBLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME $1000 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED DUE TO A THIN WELD THAT BROKE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN WOULD BE WILLING TO CORRECT WITH LOW OR NO COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT TO THE CONSUMER.

2006 NISSAN MURANO DRIVERS SEAT ANCHOR NO LONGER WORKS. THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY WIFE'S 2006 MURANO IS TILTED TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND ROCKS AND APPEARS "LOOSE" WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. IN MY OPINION THERE IS THE POTENTIAL DANGER THAT THE SUIT CAN MORE EASILY BECOME FULLY UNANCHORED IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED A COLLISION. A. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT IN THAT AN OBVIOUS LAYER OF DRIVER PROTECTION HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISED. I DO NOT FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME INJURED BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED TO FIX THE DEFECT AND URGE THE NHTSA TO MANDATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

NISSAN DRIVER SEAT FAILED. COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM BASE. NISSAN SERVICE DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED LIFT LINK ASSEMBLY AND WOULD COST AROUND $600 FOR REPAIR. I PAID FOR THE EXTENDED IN MY NISSAN MURANO AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO SEAT FALLS DOWN AND BRACKETS BREAK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAD MY NISSAN MURANO POWER SET FAIL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE BOTTOM SECTION THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE SEAT RAIL FAILED AND CAUSED ME TO GO OUT OF CONTROL WHEN THE SEAT LEANED BACKWARDS I JERKED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY VERY BIG PROBLEM AND I ALMOST ENDED UP IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE DRIVER SEAT MADE A SNAP SOUND, AND SUDDENLY LEANED TO ONE SIDE. IT TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS TO REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AND GET CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE CHECKED WITH NISSAN, AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS GOING TO COST $1,000.00 TO FIX THE SEAT, AND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE WITH THIS ISSUE AS WELL, AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I HAVE ALSO DONE ONLINE RESEARCH, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE YEARS OF THESE MURANOS. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO BROKEN SEAT BRACKET. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN FOR A SEAT CLICKING SEVERAL TIMES DURING 3/36 WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, SEVERAL DAYS AGO THE SEAT BRACKET BROKE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS WAS A BIG SURPRISE, I SWERVED SEVERAL TIMES AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY, IT WOULD COST 800 TO FIX I CONTACTED THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY ALSO DON?T CARE TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE AN ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A RECALL BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD AND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON WEB FORUMS. I AM NOW DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A BROKEN SEAT WHICH IS DANGEROUS BUT I DON'T HAVE 800.00 TO GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

BROKEN FRAME ASSEMBLY IN DRIVER'S SEAT FOR 2006 NISSAN MURANO. NORMAL WEAR & TEAR, NO SPECIFIC EVENT CAUSED THIS DAMAGE. THE SEAT ROCKS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SEAT BRACKET AND LIFT MOTOR ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THE REPAIR COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO BE $680. THIS IS NOT A WEARABLE PART THAT IS EVER SUPPOSED TO BREAK, AND WAS POORLY DESIGNED. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT RECENTLY STARTED TO ROCKING TOWARD THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WHICH ALERTED ME TO HAVING A PROBLEM. THE SUB RAIL THAT HOLD THE SEAT IN BROKEN. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET INTO THE CAR THE SEAT IS LEANING TO THE LEFT DOOR. I CONTACTED THE DEALER IN WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR, THEY SAID IT IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS UP.

UNTIL YESTERDAY I KEPT DRIVING HAVING NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. ON MY WAY TO WORK MY DRIVER SEAT SNAPPED ON THE LEFT SIDE. I ALMOST CRUSHED BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY. I AM GLAD THAT IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT AND THERE WAS NO CARS AROUND ME.

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES. I WEIGH 160 POUNDS AND DO 95% OF MY DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE FRAME SUPPORTING THE DRIVER SEAT CRACKED CAUSING THE SEAT TO BECOME UNSTABLE AND CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. AS A RESULT, I HAVE TO KEEP THE SEAT IN THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POSITION, OTHERWISE IT BECOMES HIGHLY UNSTABLE. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE REPAIRS AT $1,035. THE RESULT OF MY RESEARCH OF THIS DEFECT DISCLOSED THAT IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR 2006 NISSAN MURANOS. HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, THEY RESPONDED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT AND THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR ANY PORTION OF THE REPAIR. *TR

I AM AT RISK EVERY TIME MY WIFE OR MYSELF DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT CHARGE...

CAR IS OUT WARRANTY AND NISSAN WANTS $1,000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN 03-07 MURANOS. MY SEAT IS NO LONGER STABLE AND IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED. *TR

IT WAS STARTED "CREAKING" SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, BUT JUST FINALLY SNAPPED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER HAS SAID IT WILL COST UPWARDS OF $1000 TO FIX THIS, BUT I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ONLINE, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON NISSAN'S PART TO ADDRESS THIS CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE.*TR

WAS TRAVELING CLOSE TO 70MPH ON FREEWAY WHEN DRIVER SEAT COMPLETELY BROKE. MY BODY COLLAPSED TO THE LEFT SIDE AND FORCED ME TO LEAN AGAINST DRIVER DOOR. I SWERVED AND NEARLY HIT A VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS. APPARENTLY, A WELD IN THE SEAT ASSEMBLY BROKE. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER THE DAMAGE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT. UPON TALKING TO OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I STILL HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE SEAT AS NISSAN IS CHARGING NEARLY $1,000 FOR THE REPAIR. I CURRENTLY HAVE WOODEN BLOCKS UNDERNEATH THE SEAT TO PROP IT UP. OCCASIONALLY THE WOOD SLIDES OUT AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO REPLACE IT FOR SAFETY REASONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

2006 NISSAN MURANO DEFECTIVE DRIVERS SEAT. FOR NO APPARENT REASON SEAT STARTED TO ROCK FORM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN MAKING TURNS. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LOOSE BOLT BUT COULD NOT FIND ONE. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR IN AT THE END OF MY LEASE PERIOD, NISSAN WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR A BROKEN DRIVER SEAT MOLDING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. IN ADDITION, SERVICE MANAGERS AT NISSAN HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM FREQUENTLY. THIS HAPPENS FROM METAL FATIGUE AND DURING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, NOT BE ABUSIVE DRIVING HABITS. THERE SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

2006 NISSAN MURANO. FRONT DRIVER'S 8-WAY POWER SEAT. MY WIFE TOLD ME THAT ONE SIDE OF THE SEAT, THE RIGHT (TRANSMISSION SELECTOR) SIDE, WAS JAMMED AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD AND BACK CAUSING THE SEAT TO "PIVOT" IN POSITION. I COULD NOT SEE AN FOREIGN OBJECT STUCK UNDER THE SEAT THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS SO I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE GEARS THAT MESH TOGETHER TO DIRECT THE MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT WERE STRIPPED AND THAT THE ENTIRE 8-WAY RACK MECHANISM HAD TO BE REPLACED, TO THE TUNE OF OVER $900.00!!. THE SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE MURANO AND IS USUALLY CAUSED WHEN THE DRIVER LEANS BACK HARD AGAINST THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND LIFTS UP HIS OR HER FANNY, AS WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND ADJUSTING PANT LEGS OR A DRESS BEFORE STARTING TO DRIVE (SOMETHING EVERYONE DOES ALL THE TIME). AFTER RELUCTANTLY PAYING TO HAVE THIS WORK DONE I TOOK THE OLD SEAT RACK HOME AND TOOK IT APART. SURE ENOUGH, TWO GEARS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE RACK WERE STRIPPED OF SEVERAL WORM-TEETH, HOWEVER, THE GEARS THEMSELVES ARE LESS THAN 1/2" IN DIAMETER AND MADE OF CHEAP NYLON! YOU WOULD THINK THAT THESE WOULD BE MADE OF METAL. ALSO, THE GEARS THEMSELVES COULD BE REMOVED QUITE EASILY FROM THE ASSEMBLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND AT ALL WHY THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED EXCEPT AS A PROFIT MAKER FOR THE DEALER. AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ON VARIOUS CAR COMPLAINT WEB-SITES IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE GEARS.*TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY TIPPED TO THE RIGHT. WHAT HAD HAPPENED IS THE SEAT TRACK BROKE ON THE LEFT SIDE AND MUST NOW BE REPLACED. CONSEQUENTLY, THE SEAT TIPS TO THE RIGHT EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. IT TILTS TO THE LEFT WHEN SITTING IN IT. I BELIEVE THAT IF WE WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE REPAIR THE SEAT WOULD DISLODGE FROM ITS MOUNT. WE HAD THE DEALER CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM AND THE SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY IS AVAILABLE FOR ORDER AND REPLACEMENT. IT WILL TAKE 2-4 DAYS TO RECEIVE THE PART. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD, THE REPAIR IS OVER $800 AND NOT WARRANTIED PAST 36,000 MILES. *TR

TURNED A CORNER AT NORMAL SPEED AND WAS ALMOST TOSSED OUT OF THE SEAT. THE SEAT LIFTED IN THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. NOT A PLEASANT OR SAFE FEELING TO HAVE YOUR SEAT FEEL LIKE IT IS FLYING OFF OF THE FLOOR. A CAR SEAT SHOULD REMAIN FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. EVEN IF THE SEAT ITSELF DOESN'T CAUSE ACCIDENTS FOR PEOPLE - THE FEELING YOU GET OF LOSING CONTROL COULD EASILY CAUSE A DRIVER TO STEER INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS SHOCKED TO READ ONLINE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE GENERAL LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT IT FROM NISSAN.

THERE IS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE BECOME A MEMBER OF A LARGE GROUP THAT CAN EXPECT THE SEAT FRAME TO BREAK EVERY 2 TO 3 YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, BUT NOT AT MY EXPENSE OR LIFE. THIS SHOULD BE VIEWED AS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE.

THERE WAS NO WARNING BUT ONE DAY THE DRIVER'S SEAT STOPPED MOVING ON THE LEFT SIDE. ESSENTIALLY, THE SEAT WOULD JUST HOOK TO THE LEFT WHENEVER I TRIED TO MOVE THE SEAT AND WHENEVER YOU STARTED THE CAR (SINCE THIS CAR HAS AN AUTOMATIC SEAT ADJUST FEATURE UPON STARTING AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND IT RESULTED IN NEEDING A NEW SEAT TRACK. UNLESS THE REPAIR IS MADE, WHICH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR, THE SEAT REMAINS IN A POSITION THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ME, THE MAIN DRIVER. ADDITIONALLY, I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT EVER MOVE THE SEAT CAUSING THIS DAMAGE TO IT. THE VEHICLE HAS A FEATURE THAT CAUSES THE SEAT TO MOVE EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU GET IN AND OUT OF IT, ON IT'S OWN. THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE SINCE I NEVER MANUALLY MOVE THE SEAT. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON WEBSITES SUCH AS NISSANMURANO.ORG. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THEY TOLD ME THE DRIVERS SEAT TRACK WAS BROKEN AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $1,035.09 TO REPAIR. THIS INCLUDED $675.30 DRIVERS SEAT TRACK PART. THE PART NUMBER LISTED ON THE ESTIMATE WAS 87450-CA06A THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE (47K AT TIME OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS). THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, PARTICULARLY IF ANY ACCIDENT OCCURRED, AT WHICH TIME A SECURED SEAT WOULD BE IMPERATIVE. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THIS BASIC EQUIPMENT HAS A LIFESPAN OF LESS THAN THREE YEARS, YET WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS INCIDENT ONLINE, I FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME "BROKEN SEAT" IN 2006 AND 2005 MURANO MODEL YEARS. *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. I THOUGHT MY SEAT WAS NOT ADJUSTED PROPERLY, BUT I NOW REALIZE THE SEAT IS BROKEN. THE SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT SO MUCH, THAT IT MAKES IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS ON A CAR WITH 40,000 MILES AND JUST THREE YEARS OLD. *TR

I HAD A FAILURE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO. AFTER CHECKING WITH THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (OLATHE NISSAN) I FOUND THE PART BROKEN WAS PART NUMBER 87450+A. REPLACEMENT OF THAT PORTION OF MY SEAT WILL RESULT IN A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $650.00 PARTS, PLUS LABOR FOR INSTALLATION. I'M STILL WITHIN THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD, BUT OVER THE 35K MILE AND WAS TOLD THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND SEEMS AS I HAVE BECOME A MEMBER OF A LARGE GROUP THAT CAN EXPECT THE POTENTIAL FOR HAVING THIS REPAIR EVERY 2 TO 3 YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, BUT NOT AT MY EXPENSE LIFE OR MONEY. THIS SHOULD BE VIEWED AS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT BROKE WHEN I WAS DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE! *TR

THE DRIVER MANEUVERED THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN TO HER RESIDENCE AND THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE SEAT FRAME BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS INOPERATIVE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 43,633.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD START SQUEAKING WHENEVER I MADE ANY TURNS OR DROVE OVER BUMPS. IT SOUNDS LIKE PLASTIC GRINDING. ON 12/12/08, I SAT IN THE SEAT AND THE FRAME BROKE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT NOW ROCKS FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHENEVER YOU TURN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOUR FEET WILL COME OFF THE GAS OR BREAK WHENEVER YOU TURN. I WENT ON THE WEB, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PUBLIC FORUMS FROM MURANO OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT TAKE ANY ANY ACTION. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WILL ONLY REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT FOR $1,200.00 AND NOT TRY TO FIX THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. IF THEY WANT YOU TO BUY A WHOLE NEW SEAT, WHAT IS TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING AGAIN? UNACCEPTABLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS SEAT, BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND I HEARD A SNAP WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND INDEED THE SEAT FRAME BRACKET SNAPPED IN TWO PLACES. THE BACK LEFT BRACKET OF MY DRIVERS SEAT SNAPPED IN A Y PATTERN. I HAVE NOT REPLACED IT YET BECAUSE NISSAN WANTS $900 TO REPLACE IT. I FEEL THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE, WHEN YOUR LEFT REAR ANCHOR IS NOT HOLDING YOUR SEAT IN PLACE. *TR

AFTER OWNING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO FOR JUST OVER TWO YEARS THE LOWER SEAT BRACE HAS BROKEN AND THE SEAT LEANS AND LIFTS IN A LEFT HAND TURN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE COMPANY IS UNWILLING TO FIX AT NO COST. I HOPE THE NUMBERS OF COMPLAINTS WILL TRIGGER SOME RESPONSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

ON OCT. 19TH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ARE 2006 NISSAN MURANO, I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND ARE SON WAS IN THE BACK. WE HAD JUST PULLED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND WE HEARD A LOAD POP. MY WIFE SAID I THINK THE SEAT JUST BROKE. WE CONTINUED ON TO HOME DEPOT AND THERE I EXAMINED THE SEAT AND YES THE SEAT WAS BROKEN AS THE BACK LEFT SECTION OF THE SEAT IS UNATTACHED FROM THE FRAME AND CAN BE RAISED AND LOWERED AT WILL. WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP MONDAY OCT. 20TH AND THEY REAFFIRMED THAT THE SEAT ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND THE PART WOULD BE 615.00 AND THE LABOR ANOTHER 200 PLUS DOLLARS. I MADE A CALL TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND AFTER ALMOST TWO WEEKS OF DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM THEY WERE WILLING TO ONLY ALLOW FOR A 200.00 GOOD WILL REIMBURSEMENT. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS NOT A MECHANICAL PART BUT A STRUCTURAL PART AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN ESPECIALLY ON A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 53000 MILES. I EXPLAINING THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS CONDITION AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND IT. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF INDIVIDUALS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB FOR IT AS WELL AS A SERVICE BULLETIN POST BY NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A STRUCTURAL PART NOT A MECHANICAL PART AND WITH IT BROKEN IT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE FOR ME, MY WIFE AND OUR SON. WE WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ON OCT. 31 AS ARE FAMILY IS DEPENDENT ON THE VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO FELT AS THOUGH THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT. THEN IT BECAME OBVIOUSLY LOOSE/WOBBLY, SO MUCH SO THAT IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE SEAT WILL FALL OVER GOING AROUND A TURN. I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A MECHANISM THAT HAD BROKE UNDER THE SEAT, THAT THE WHOLE THING WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND COULD COST AS MUCH AS $1,200! IT DOESN'T SEEM SAFE, YET I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY, AND NOW SEEING THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE W/ MURANO'S-CERTAINLY NISSAN WOULD HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS. I FIND DRIVING IT MYSELF IS GETTING MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF HOW WOBBLY THE SEAT IS-BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT. WHEN THE SEAT LEANS, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS PULLED TOO. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT MORE AND MORE. I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND A SEAT BRACKET UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT IN MY CAR HAS BROKEN. ALTHOUGH THIS SEAMS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY OVER $1000. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BRACKET GAVE WAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN MURANO. NO WARNING SINGS OR HINTS OF INSTABILITY WAS DISPLAYED BEFORE THE BREAK. "BRACKET" MEANING THE DEVICE THAT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE FRAME, MOUNTED TO THE CAR FLOOR. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND IT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE NISSAN MURANO THE DEALER IS DENYING THIS FACT. YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN MURANO IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. YESTERDAY I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR TO GO HOME FROM WORK AND WAS PLACING MY LAPTOP COMPUTER BAG IN THE BACKSEAT AND RESTED MY HAND ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE SEAT WAS NOTICEABLY UNSTABLE AND UNSECURED. I INVESTIGATED UNDER THE SEAT TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT HAD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRACK, IT HAD NOT, THE POWER SEAT STILL MOVES BACK AND FORTH. I DROVE IT HOME WITH MY SEAT UNLEVEL AND MY HUSBAND TOOK A LOOK AND DISCOVERED THE THIN METAL SUPPORT ROD HAD BROKE AT THE CONNECTION POINT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME ON A CAR EVER. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A MORE EXPENSIVE CAR WOULD MISS A STEP SO CRITICAL TO COMFORT. *TR
