2007 Nissan Murano

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT LEFT REAR BRACKET CONNECTING THE SEAT TO THE SEAT ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY BROKE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO MOVE FREELY UP AND DOWN, ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS VEHICLE BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ IN FORUMS. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS WHILE YOU ARE TURNING YOUR SEAT UNEXPECTEDLY LIFTS UP AND COULD CAUSE YOU TO LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CRASH. THE FOLLOWING WEBPAGE HAS COMMENTS FROM SEVERAL MURANO OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME. HTTP://WWW.NISSANMURANO.ORG/FORUMS/66-PROBLEMS/1548-DRIVERS-SEAT-10.HTML. *TR

I NOTICED POWER STEERING FLUID ON THE CONCRETE UNDER MY VEHICLE. A MECHANIC TOLD ME MY HOSE WAS LEAKING AND I FOUND OUT IT COST ABOUT $500.00 TO FIX. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. HE TOLD ME NO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS. THE FLUID IS ALL UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE. THE FLUID COULD IGNITE BY HITTING THE EXHAUST PIPE OR ANYTHING HOT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH AND HEARD A POPPING SOUND. MY SEAT MOVED AND THEN IT STARTED ROCKING. IT SCARED ME SO BAD THAT I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I COULD TELL THAT SOMETHING SERIOUS HAD BROKEN AND DROVE BACK HOME TO FIND THAT THE WELD HAD COME APART. I FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING, SITTING IN A ROCKING CHAIR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED AND PAID FOR BY NISSAN. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT THE SEAT BROKE LIKE THIS. WE HAVE HAD SOME OF OUR CARS AND TRUCKS OVER 15 YEARS! IF THIS IS NOT A RECALL PROBLEM THEN NISSAN HAS LOST ME AND MY FAMILY AS CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE. *TR

NOTICED FLUIDS ON GARAGE FLOOR UNDER MY NISSAN MURANO. UPON CHECKING FLUID LEVELS IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELS THAT WERE LOW. FURTHER INVESTIGATION INDICATED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS LEAKING. THIS HAS SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN FLEET AS A WHOLE, BUT AS OF YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN INITIATED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS THAT LOW FLUID LEVEL POSES AND THE POSSIBILITY OF INITIATING A FIRE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, WITH MY VISOR PUSHED FORWARD TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD TO BLOCK THE SUN, THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR FALLS INTO MY LINE OF VISION. THIS CAUSES ME TO SWERVE WHILE ENTERING A CURVE AND JUST MISS ANOTHER VEHICLE. I QUICKLY PUSH UP THE VISOR AND TO MY DISMAY, IT WILL NOT STAY UPRIGHT; NEITHER UPRIGHT TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD NOR UPRIGHT TOWARDS THE CEILING. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I HAVE LOOKED AT MULTIPLE THREADS AND SPOKEN WITH MULTIPLE FRIENDS WHO HAVE ALL HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE 1ST GENERATION NISSAN MURANOS (2003-2008). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE VISORS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RAISE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AND NOTICED THAT ONLY PART OF THE SEAT WOULD RISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SEAT HARNESS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
