2006 Nissan Murano

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE VISORS IN MY VEHICLE, THEY KEEP DROPPING WHILE DRIVING, ITS VERY DANGEROUS, IT FALLS AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND I TRY TO KEEP IT UP BY HOLDING IT WHILE I'M DRIVING . I WAS ONLINE AND COULD NOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED, AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THE COST TO REPLACE ONE IS ALMOST $400. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE, AND SEVERAL TIMES HAS FALLEN DOWN OBSTRUCTING MY VISION WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING. FROM SEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN MURANO AND IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NISSAN DEALERS WANT OVER $400 TO REPLACE THE VISOR... ' WHAT'S THE POINT OF REPLACING IT WITH ONE THAT WILL LIKELY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? THIS MORE THAN JUST AN ANNOYANCE, IT IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD THAT WILL RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND PEOPLE GETTING HURT OR KILLED, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I'M AMAZED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN, DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THIS FAULTY PART OR THIS WILL ABSOLUTELY BE THE LAST NISSAN VEHICLE MY FAMILY EVER BUYS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, IN THE LEFT LANE OF A 6 LANE HIGHWAY MY DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BUCKLED, SNAPPED, AND DROPPED TOWARDS THE DOOR. I IMMEDIATELY PANICKED, AFRAID TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD I BEGAN WORKING MY WAY TO THE EXTREME RIGHT LANE TO PULL OVER AND SEE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. WITH NO PRIOR INDICATIONS OF ANY PROBLEMS MY SIT JUST SUDDENLY BROKE AND I WAS LEANING ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO MY NISSAN DEALER I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS MATTER, LATER I LEARNED THIS TO BE A COMMON NISSAN PROBLEM. I WAS CHARGED $149.00 FOR PART AND $272.14 FOR LABOR TO HAVE 87473-CA01A :LINK ASSY-RR LI INSTALLED. SINCE THIS REPAIR THE BOTTOM SEAT MOLDING IS NOW HANGING OFF MY SEAT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW SEAT FRAME ALSO!. *TR

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 30 MPH WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT GAVE WAY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LEAN TO THE LEFT HITTING THE LEFT FRONT DOOR. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF SAID VEHICLE BUT BECAME ALARMED AT THE SUDDEN NATURE OF THE EVENT. IT APPEARS THAT A BRACKET SUPPORTING THE SEAT BROKE. 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. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND BE PROACTIVE AND HAVE SAID VEHICLES FIXED. *TR

MY POWER STEERING PUMP HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND THE HOSE HAS A HOLE IN IT. THE LEAK HAS CAUSE A BELT TO POP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED UNTIL THE TRUCK BATTERY KILLED OVER AND A MECHANIC HELPED ME WHILE THE VEHICLE DISABLED. I ALSO KNOW OF THREE OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. TWO OF THEM HAVE PAID A LARGE AMOUT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THE OTHER TRADED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEFECT WITH MURANO AND I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND UNKNOWN WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM SO I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. AS I EXITED MY SEAT I NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WAS LEANING / ROCKING TO THE LEFT SIDE AND APPARENTLY SOMETHING HAD BROKEN. I NOTIFIED NISSAN CORPORATION OFFICES WHERE I SPOKE TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TO SEE IF IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE DIVER SIDE SEAT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS BUT TAKE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT THEN DO A FOLLOW UP CALL WITH HIM AFTERWARDS. I THEN WENT ON LINE AND NOTICES THAT IT WAS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE BEFORE NISSAN REALIZE IT. *TR

THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE UNDER MY SEAT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT SAGGED TO THE BACK AND LEFT TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CHECKED THE SEAT. 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. ON THE NEWS TODAY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A CHILD'S ITEM THAT ONLY HAD 6 COMPLAINTS AND THEY RECALLED IT. NISSAN HAS HAD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING. *TR
