2006 Nissan Murano

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. ON MARCH 26, 2010, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE WHEN MOVING TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN MOVING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT VOLUNTARILY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLANT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,040. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

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.

PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DROPS DOWN CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WHENEVER I HIT ANY TYPE OF BUMP OR SWERVE IN THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER ONE ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FAILURE OCCURS EVERY DAY, SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VISORS. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $400+ TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY NISSAN A LONG TIME AGO.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE ISSUE ORIGINATED WITH THE AIR INTAKE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN RECALLED LAST YEAR. PRIOR TO THE RECALL I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN BECAUSE OF THE POOR PERFORMANCE AND NEAR ACCIDENTS THAT THE AIR INTAKE ISSUE CAUSED. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO TOWN NORTH NISSAN TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS MY MOTOR MOUNTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THAT WOULD FIX THE AIR INTAKE ISSUE. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THE AIR INTAKE AND FIXING THE MOTOR MOUNTS DID NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THE AIR INTAKE RECALL CAME OUT I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED. WHILE PICKING UP MY CAR I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT MY FRUSTRATION ON HAVING TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH NEVER RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON THE MURANO WERE WEAK (NOT JUST MINE BUT ACROSS THE BOARD) AND THEY FELT THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CARS IN MY LIFE AND HAVE PUT OVER 100,000 MILES ON SEVERAL OF THE CARS THAT I OWNED AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS. IF NISSAN KNOWS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE WEAK ON THIS CAR THEN WHY HAS THAT PART NOT BEEN RECALLED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WOULD READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. PRIOR TO THE RECENT FAILURE, THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V003000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STORAGE, TANK ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CURRENT FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 36,000.

I BOUGHT A 206 NISSAN MURANO FROM A DEALER. THE CAR WAS CERTIFIED CLEAN BY MANHEIM THE AUCTION HOUSE.THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION BY STEVENS CREEK NISSAN WWW.STEVENSCREEKNISSAN.COM. IT WAS CERTIFIED CLEAN WITH ABSOLUTELY _NO_LEAKS_. THEN 30 DAYS LATER I HEAR A WHINE WITHIN THE CAR AND I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO INSPECT. IT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A LEAK IN POWER STEERING FLUID HOSE. HOW COME 30 DAYS THERE WASN'T ANY REPORTED LEAK , BUT NOW THERE IS A LEAK THAT HAD DRAINED A LOT OF POWER STEERING FLUID AND THAT CAUSED THE HIGH PITCH WHINE. THE MECHANIC ADDED SOME POWER STEERING FLUID AND THE SOUND STOPPED. WHEN I CHECKED WITH A KRAGEN STORE WHERE I WENT TO BUY POWER STEERING FLUID , THEY SAID THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN. I CHECKED THE NEWS GROUPS ONLINE AND I FIND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT NISSAN POWER STEERING HOSE.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 9/2/09. I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY POWER STEERING FLUID WAS DRAINED WHEN I CHECKED UNDER MY HOOD ON VACATION. IF I DIDN'T HAPPEN TO SEE IT, I COULD HAVE HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE POWER STEERING WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, AND IF NISSAN DOESN'T WANT MAJOR LAWSUITS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH, THEY HAD BETTER GET ON THE STICK AND DO A RECALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

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
