I EXITED A PARKING LOT AND WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH THE DRIVERS SEAT REAR MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE, THE SEAT SNAPPED BACK TO THE LEFT SIDE WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE READ ON THE FORUMS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO NEARLY EVERY SINGLE 2003 - 2007 NISSAN MURANO. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT - THE BRACKET IN THE REAR LEFT THAT SUPPORTS THE SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. AIR BAGS - THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO AWAY. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEB. 2016, THE DEALER ASSURED ME IT WAS JUST A GLITCH IN THE DISPLAY. ENGINE - STARTED RUNNING ROUGH ABOUT A WEEK AGO, WHILE WE WERE HEADED OUT OF TOWN. CANCELLED THAT TRIP. THREW A "CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE" CODE. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THAT PLUG AND COIL AND IT CONTINUED TO RUN ROUGH. TODAY, IT OVERHEATED AND STARTED DUMPING FLUID ON THE GROUND. THE SUSPENSION IS ALSO FAILING. WHEN WE HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE, IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL OFF. I LOVED THIS CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT AND WHEN IT RUNS RIGHT, BUT RIGHT NOW, I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED. I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR TWO MONTHS. I FEEL LIKE WE WERE ROBBED AND WE AREN'T IN THE FINANCIAL STANDING TO REPLACE IT.
