ALL OF MY LOCKS NO LONGER WORK. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE ABOUT IT. I THOUGHT NISSAN WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN IF THEY CONTINUE NOT TO ASSIST THEIR CUSTOMERS. I ALSO HAVE THE AIR INTAKE ISSUE, THANKFULLY THAT WAS RECALLED AND WILL BE FIXED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT STRUTS, OIL COOLER GASKET, FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS AND THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED 3 TIMES NOW. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN AND SO EMBARRASSED TO EVEN TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. :( *TR

I TOO OWN A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS MORE MILEAGE THAN THE EARLIER ENTRY, I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE IN THESE CARS. OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED MANY NISSAN MURANO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT MADE AWARE THAT THEY NEED TO REPORT THESE ISSUES SO THEY JUST SPEND HUNDREDS ON REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I AM SURE NISSAN HAS AN INVENTORY OF HOW MANY THEY HAVE REPAIRED AND CHARGED CUSTOMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER AS THIS IS PART OF THE SUSPENSION. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. IT HAS 63500 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE ABOUT TO FAIL BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THESE SHOULD NOT BE FAILING WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILES ON THE VEHICLE. NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP ME WITH THESE REPAIRS. *TR

Consequence & remedy

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

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.
