I AM NOT SURE OF THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE; OTHER THAN NORMAL USAGE. THE FAILURE IS THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT OCCURS ALL OF THE TIME. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND IS ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT EASIER THAN I BECAUSE SHE IS SHORTER. HOWEVER WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO MOVE THE VISOR TO THE SIDE. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THE VISOR BLOCKS MY VISUAL VIEW AND MY HEAD COMES CLOSE TO HITTING IT WHEN I DRIVE. IF I REMOVE THE VISOR THEN BRIGHT SUN PROHIBITS MY VIEW. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN OF MINE. I WISH TO REPLACE IT BUT I AM UNABLE TO FIND ONE ONLINE. IN SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THE FOLLOWING THREAD. HTTP://WWW.NISSANFORUMS.COM/TRUCK-SUV/113557-MURANO-SUN-VISOR-FAILURE.HTML WHAT WORRIES ME HERE IS THAT IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM. IN FACT ONE POSTER THAN POSTS AS A NISSAN TECHNICIAN EVEN CLAIMS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FIND THAT DISTURBING. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS I AM UNABLE TO FIND THE PART. I COULD GO TO THE DEALER BUT THEN I FIND $200 FOR A DEFECT REPLACEMENT TO BE A BIT MUCH. *TR

MY 05 MURANO, JUST 33K MILES...THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BECOME DETACHED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT MAY HAVE BEEN A WELDING DEFECT. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE COST FOR REPAIR AND WHAT WAS INVOLVED, PARTS AND LABOR ARE APPROX. $1,000. THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT BOTTOM. SAID THE ASSEMBLY JUST COMES APART AND IS NOT REPAIRABLE. HE TOLD ME EVEN WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THIS STILL WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I HAVE ESCALATED A CLAIM WITH THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AT NISSAN AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CONTACT ME SOMETIME TODAY. SO FAR, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS AS WELL. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALLED ITEM FOR NISSAN. *TR

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. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL USE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN ORDINARY DRIVING ON STREETS. THE BROKEN BRACKET APPEARS TO BE VERY SMALL FOR A WEIGHT-BEARING PIECE. THIS PIECE WOULD CERTAINLY NOT SURVIVE A CRASH. IF STILL INTACT, THE PIECE WOULD CERTAINLY BREAK DURING A CRASH. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO MOVE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO POSSIBLY IMPACT THE STEERING WHEEL OR WINDSHIELD. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS YET, AS I NEED TO DECIDE WHAT ROUTE TO TAKE. APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES ABOUT $1,000 TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE OFFENDING PART, BUT THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME FRAGILE PART. IT APPEARS THAT CONTACTING A PROFESSIONAL WELDER MAY BE A BETTER CHOICE, AS THEY CAN WELD THE PIECES TOGETHER AND STRENGTHEN THE PIECES TOO. *TR
NISSAN IS RECALLING 362,891 MY 2003-2007 MURANO VEHICLES. THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE RESONATOR IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE, MAY SEPARATE FROM THE RESONATOR WITH ENGINE MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION OCCURS DUE TO THE PREMATURE AGING OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE SHRINKING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: ENGINE MAY STALL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE/REPAIR THE APPROPRIATE COMPONENTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 114, "THEFT PROTECTION." DURING AN INSPECTION OF SOME VEHICLES AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED WITH THE IGNITION KNOB IN THE "OFF" POSITION BUT THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION NOT BEING IN THE "PARK" POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE "OFF" POSITION WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING IN THE "PARK" POSITION, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CAN LOCK WHEN TURNED TO THE RIGHT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 18, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, A FITTING FOR VAPOR RECIRCULATION, WHICH IS WELDED ON THE FUEL TANK, MAY COME OFF THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE INCORRECT MATERIAL WAS USED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL COMING ON AND MAY RESULT IN SOME FUEL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
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.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A WIRE BREAKING INSIDE THE ALTERNATOR COULD STOP THE BATTERY FROM CHARGING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS HAPPENS, THE CHARGER WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LAMPS WILL IMMEDIATELY COME ON AND THE BATTERY WILL BEGIN TO DISCHARGE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE ENGINE WILL GO INTO A "FALL SAFE" CONDITION WHICH WILL LIMIT VEHICLE SPEED. THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH A NEW VERSION WHICH HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO PREVENT MOVEMENT OF THE COIL. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 1, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
