A BRACKET ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT HAS BROKEN, AND THE SEAT TILTS TO ONE SIDE AND ALSO FORWARD. IT IS LOOSE AND WILL MOVE FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES WHEN I DECELERATE/ACCELERATE OR GET IN/OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS NOW VERY LOOSE. THE SEAT MOVES UPON EXIT/ENTERING THE CAR AND WHILE DRIVING. A SMALL SUPPORT BRACKET IS BROKEN AND NISSAN CLAIMS THE WHOLE SEAT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, COST $1000+. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SEAT BRACKET SHOULD NOT BREAK UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AND I WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN I LOOKED AROUND ONLINE AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HAVE THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVE AROUND WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING SEEMS TO ME LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

MY HUSBAND PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN MURANO IN 2005. IN 2006 WE GAVE THE CAR TO OUR 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THE VEHICLE HAS 23,000 (!) ON IT. LAST WEEK SHE INFORMED ME THAT HER SEAT "MOVES" WHEN SHE TURNS THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO CROWN NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE "LIFTER LINK" WAS BROKEN AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $600 PARTS AND $250 LABOR. I AM QUESTIONING WHY A NISSAN PRODUCT AND AT 4 YEARS OF AGE WOULD HAVE A BROKEN SEAT??? AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS FILED WITH YOUR OFFICE. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? A SEAT BRACKET BREAKING IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR & TEAR ITEM. I CAN SEE A PATTERN DEVELOPING AND CERTAINLY YOU FOLKS MUST BE ABLE TO ALSO. HOW MANY SEATS/PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN EJECTED FROM WRECKED VEHICLES? HOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HUNG BY THEIR SEATBELT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH? *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT ON MY 2005 NISSAN MURANO S IS DEFECTIVE. THE FRAME UNDER THE SEAT THAT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE CHASSIS OF THE VEHICLE SOMEHOW BROKE OFF AT ONE OF THE CORNERS. WHEN SITTING IN THE SEAT, THE SEAT ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE. I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE OCTOBER 2007, AND THE PROBLEM AROSE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY WORRYING BECAUSE IT FEELS AS IF THE SEAT IS NOT HELD ON PROPERLY, AND FEELS AS IF THE SEAT IS GOING TO COMPLETELY COME OFF THE FRAME. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WILL COST ABOUT $1,000 TO REPAIR BECAUSE ITS NOT COVERED BY NISSAN. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL BECAUSE THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO AFFECT THOUSANDS OF NISSAN MURANO OWNERS. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE AS TIME HAS PASSED. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO WITH APPROX. 60K MILES. TO MY SURPRISE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AFTER TAKING THE CAR INTO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WELDS ON THE DRIVERS SEAT HAD BROKEN AT THE BASE AND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS REPAIR WOULD COST AROUND $1,000 TO REMEDY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS INDEED A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN MURANO'S, BUT NISSAN CORP. HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. SOME OWNERS HAVE STATED THAT THEY WERE DRIVING WHEN THIS DEFECT OCCURRED AND IT CAUSED THE DRIVER TO VEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE SURPRISE OF THE SEAT FALLING TOWARDS THE DRIVERS DOOR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUED AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRECTION OF THIS SAFETY DEFECT. SOME OWNERS HAVE PAID TO HAVE THIS ISSUE CORRECTED, ONLY TO HAVE IT OCCUR YET AGAIN. *TR

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON SOME SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, IN CERTAIN HIGH SPEED FRONTAL CRASHES, THE WEBBING OF A REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELT MAY CONTACT THE REAR SEAT BACK HINGE WHERE IT CAN BE CUT BY THE SHARP EDGE OF THE METAL PORTION OF THE HINGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WEBBING IS COMPLETELY SEPARATED, IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO AN OCCUPANT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL PROTECTORS OVER THE WEBBING OF THE REAR SEAT BELTS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE FUEL TANK, IN THE EVENT THAT A VEHICLE FRONT TIRE RUNS OVER A SMALL, SHARP OBJECT IN THE ROAD, CATCHES IT AND PROPELS IT TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT MAY STRIKE AND PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A PUNCTURED TANK COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL PROTECTORS IN FRONT OF THE TANK FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 20, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
