Back in april my murano would turn off whether i was accelerating or just sitting at a stop light, the brake light and battery light would come on and vehicle wouldnt start back up, ended up having it towed 3 different times to mechanic who couldnt figure out what was wrong because it wasnt showing any codes so from there had it towed to newton nissan where it took them 10 days to diagnose it was the alternator (replaced battery first but that didnt work)ended up getting the nissan alternator versus aftermarket for the warranty, get it back everything is fine, now in august alternator fails out again, back to newton nissan we go, the replace "alternator" and when i get it back power steering isnt working so after the fixed that everything was fine until it started shutting off on me again like the very first time. Meanwhile ive had to pay over $1000 for the alternator work which was recalled however my vin didnt fall under the recall. Engine compartment and hood of car are also so hot you cant touch them even after just driving 1 mile in 70 degreee weather however the temperature gauge isnt running high. Now the airbag light is flashing onand off upon starting. I tried cycling the engine nurmerous times but the light is still on. Nissan said they will have to replace whole unit for $5000 because they cant pin point airbag issue. Airbag issue isnt fixed and nobody can tell me if i have a working air bag or not. Im not sure if i need to contact an attorney because im now concerned about the safety of my 4 year old daughter while in the vehicle.

Airbag light up
After purchasing a 05 nissan murano, a month later the airbag light started to flash. Took it to the dealer and the airbag module was replaced and system was reset. In late 06 the airbag light start flashing again, the dealer reset the system, worked fine until oct of 08 at this point my extended warranty has ended. They reset the system and pulled the code from the unit. I was then told that the spiral cable aka clockspring cable is faulty that is the reason why the airbag light turns on at random times. I was quoted a little over $2000 for the repairs and was told there is nothing that can be done since my extended warranty has ended ask to talk to a manager and was told the same thing. Also on the way home from the dealer that day the airbag light came on again, when i called them i was given the instructions on how to reset the airbag light. I ask the if the airbag system will work if there is an accident and was told they cant guarantee it will but it should if the system is reset and the light is not on. From that day to now i have to reset the system at least once every 2 weeks. The other issue that i've had is with the transmission seals leaking with causes the oil level to get low and makes it loud and increases the rpm while driving. I had the seal replaced 3 times, once under original warranty, once with extended warranty and just recently had to pay for repairs. And again asked to talk to a service manager about this since its thesame part being replaced 3 times, and was told there is nothing that can be done since there is no extended warranty.
Takata recall- one morning got into my car and when i started the engine i notice that the airbag red light started flashing on the panel and since then it keeps me worry that this airbag may come out by accident while i am driving. I am very nervous to drive my car due to this warning
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.the contact stated that the air bag indicator light continues to illuminate on the instrument panel.the vehicle has been to the dealer five times and he is still unsure if the air bags have been installed properly.the better business bureau referred him to nhtsa to file a safety complaint.the bbb stated that his vehicle was not affected by the lemon law due to the year it was manufactured.the manufacturer has done nothing but make excuses and has not offered any assistance.the current mileage was 18,000 and failure mileage was 7,865.updated 02-01-08.the consumer stated each time the defect has been repaired the problems still persists. Updated 02/01/08
We own a 2005 nissan murano - the driver's door and passenger door on the driver's side will not unlock with the remote or the switch - they require a manual unlock - this seems to be a common problem with these vehicles from my research online - i feel it is a safety issue that nissan should repair at no charge to the consumer.also, the airbag light stays on - we have had this checked, and it continues to be on - this is also another safety issue.our vehicle is in perfect condition otherwise.we have less than 60,000 miles on the car.
2005 nissan murano with 31,000 miles.the airbag light was flashing and it was taken to the dealership, where i was told it was the airbag sensor module and it would have to be replaced.i was told without replacing it my airbags would not work and this was not covered under any warranty.i had to pay over $1000 or have no airbags to protect my wife and child.looking on the internet i see this is a common problem, it looks like nissan should be required to fix this since it is a safety issue.
2005 nissan murano air bag sensor light continued to blink.consumer wants to know if this is a safety issue. *nja diagnostics determined that the contact spiral in the steering column had an open circuit and needed to be replaced or the driver's side airbag would not deploy.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While operating the vehicle, the srs sensor indicator continued to flash. The vehicle was taken to pocatello nissan (1900 flandro dr, pocatello, id) where it was diagnosed that the air bag control sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Also, while operating the vehicle, the driver's side seat back moved because the seat frame was fractured. The seat was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Approximately 2 weeks ago due to no fault of our own as we were driving our air bag light came on. We took our vehicle to the nissan dealership in our area. They told us our air bagcontrol monitor was bad and our air bags will not deploy in an accident. Upon ordering the part we were told the part is on backorder. They also told us that we have to pay to have this repaired at our own expense. The service manager proceeded to tell my wife and i that the part is only warranted for 3 years when thecar was new. Now it was our issue since we bought the car used.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds over a bump, the sun visor would fall down without assistance. The sun visor would remain in an upward position when secured with velcro straps. In addition, the passenger side air bag sensor would not function. While dispensing fuel the automatic nozzle clicked off continuously. There was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 06v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The vin was not included in the recall. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
The air bag indicator light is flashing in the dash again. I had this problem fixed once before while still under warranty at the north little rock dealership. On leaving the garage within just a mile, i made a left turn and heard a crunching noise in the steering column and it came back on. I went strait back and they said they would fix it but the (second replacement part) wouldn't be in till the next day so i was given a loaner for one day.now it's back on again.also noted shortly after the warranty expired that the lumbar support on the drivers side no longer inflates/deflates and hasn't worked since. I have had all recalls fixed and had to replace the battery at 37,000 miles at my cost. Also had to have the dealership resurface both front rotors and replace a rear caliper under warranty that had locked up 1 & 1/2 years ago. I see that the front rotors are in need of resurfacing again even though the break pads have 1/2 of there wear left to go. Due to the highly chromed /curved dipstick, getting an accurate oil level reading is not possible at any time, so the dipstick has only been removed three time since purchasing it as it is a pointless endeavor. I own six autos that range in age from 1972 threw this 2005 murano and of all of them, the murano is the least trusted one. I will never own another nissan.
Flashing air bag light on dash and right door [passenger side] will not unlock.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.the air bag warning light remains illuminated.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer twelve times due to the failure and they only performed a temporary remedy.the dealer stated that the air bag would not deploy in the event of a crash.the purchase date was unknown.the current mileage was 36,500 and failure mileage was 15,000.
This is the second time the driver's seat bracket has broken. The first time, we shamed the local nissan dealer to fix it, but this was only temporary as the seat has just broken again. We contacted nissan but they said we are on our own. Air bag light is supposedly linked to this issue as well. Also contacted nissan about this and escalated all the way to north american hq to no avail. It appears that nissan would rather take their chances on law suits than have their customers safely drive their products. After purchasing at least 10 nissan products over the past 30 years i will never purchase another.forever is a long time.
Airbag light continues to flash, and horn stopped working.
Vehicle has entered "fail-safe" mode at least 8 times in the past year.dealership has had the vehicle no less than 7 times following "fail-safe" events.ground wire to ecm svc bulletin was completed.recalled alternator was replaced (after 4th event).airbag sensor and airbag spiral cable were replaced following separate events.currently, carmd tool is giving a p2135 error code, and states that latest event was caused by throttle position sensor/switch and/or an "a" /"b" electrical voltage correlation error.all "fail-safe" mode events occurred during high-speed (55-65 mph) traffic on multi-lane highways, with the exception of the latest event.three times, entry into "fail-safe" mode created extremely hazardous situations and near-accidents.each time, after the ignition was switched off, the vehicle has restarted in normal operating mode, but the mil came on and stayed on until vehicle was serviced by dealership.
I purchased my 2005 nissan murano in nov 2005.on feb 24, 2006, i brought the vehicle in to the dealer because the airbag light was flashing.they "erased all dtc's and retested the system."in march 2006, i returned with the same problem.at that time, they replaced the driver airbag module, spiral cable, and diagnostic sensor.it was ok for a year, but then started flashing again.i took it back on oct. 12, 2007.they removed and replaced the driver side airbag module (again).three days later, it started flashing again.i wasn't able to take it in again until march 21, 2008.at that time, they replaced the apiral cable (again) and informed me that it might not be fixed but, according to nissan protocol, that's all they could do.if it starts flashing again, they can replace the next part.in the meantime, i have no more of an idea today that my vehicle is safe than i have ever had.even if i take it in a 5th or 6th time, how can i be sure it will work if and when i need it?in the very beginning, they did replace the whole unit, and that didn't work.i no longer have confidence in nissan's safety protocols.
My concerns are there any recalls including safety on my 2005 muranothe vehicles check engine light,week later at various times while in park and running the car will shut offthe air bag warning icon, at various times the vehicle would slow while driving and not respond to gas pedalalso the abs warning light appearedat times the windows roll down on their own while vehicle is offi have not taken the vehicle for repairs.
Battery had a dead cell removed battery to replacebattery was out of vehicle for approx. 5 minutesreplaced the battery started the vehicle to get mileage from odometer, idled approx. 2 min with drivers door open no passengers in vehicle. The side curtain air bags deployed as well as the side seat airbags.
Good afternoon, the airbag sensor was on, and i was affected by the horn, and the functions that are used in the steering wheel
It seems that i have all of the well known problems with the nissan murano. I got the air bag light that won't turn off which to me is a major safety and very dangerous issue. I heard that in case of an accident the air bags and seat belts won't work. Nissan needs to address this problem asap before someone or multiple people lose their life because of their lack of responsibility. Another problem i have is none of door actuators work including the rear hatch door except for the driver's side door that door is the only door that unlocks and locks which i also think it's another safety issue. I also have the bad power steering rack which i mentioned a lot is a safety issue. The steering has so much play that its difficult to drive i wish nissan would step up to the plate and admit that these should be repaired because of their bad engineering with these trucks.

Drivers seats are broken on a lot of muranos. Complaints on line all years. Airbag light won't go off.
Theairbag light began flashing without apparent reason, and it has been flashing each time the vehicle has been driven since then. The vehicle is out of warranty and dealership states diagnostic will cost $85, plus cost of repair. I don't know if the airbag will deploy correctly in a crash, or if it will deploy when it is not needed, under the circumstances. Either way, this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. I have noticed several other consumer complaints of this type. See consumer complaint numbers 1020853, 10199625, 10196794, 10193158, and 10188126.if this is a manufacturer defect, then nissan should be responsible for repair cost.

Airbag light flashing, both front door locks quit working at the same time along with the hatch lock that gets stuck, now the sun visor on drivers side is falling down.
In 2013 i had to have my driver seat bracket welded due to it breaking. My airbag lights flash continuously since about 2006 and i was told that it would be a few thousand dollars to replace the sensor, also my check engine light comes on and then goes off. When i took it in they said it could be several things from catalytic converter to an exhaust issue and that it would be trial and error to figure out which would remy the problem. Not to mention my driver side visor wont stay up and my alternator keeps draining my battery so i have to replace yearly. Someone please help.

The air bag light is flashing. I read on line that this is very common and has been reported as a faulty switch. Is this something that nissan is responsible for? my mechanic said it might cost 1300.00 dollar's...please help me with this problem.thank you. My email is [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
The air bag light is flashing. I read on line that this is very common and has been reported as a faulty switch. I would like to have this repaired for safety reasons.as i understand it nissan is aware. Please advise.
The airbag light started to flash and would keep flashing until you shut the car off. We took the murano to our local mechanic.he put it on his computer system and it was diagnosed with "diagnostic module was faulty".it would cost $800 for just the part and 2 1/2 hours of labor for a total of $1093.i contacted nissan consumer affairs if there were any recalls for this particular problem.they informed me that there were none at the time and we would have to take the murano to an authorized nissan dealer for the diagnosis.we did take it to an authorized nissan dealer an hour and half away.after a $73 charge, they told us the exact same thing!i then contacted nissan again and they told me that they couldn't help us with the cost of the repair.i would understand if it was something that we didn't do for maintenance, but it wasn't our fault that it is defective.i asked them if there was going to be a recall for this problem and they said not at this time.they had also informed me if we would have it fixed and there would be a recall, they would reimburse us for the cost of replacement. I asked them if they could send me a documentation so i would have proof that they would do that but i haven't see anything from them.you would think that nissan would try to recall proactively before there is a negative back lash on their company.it seems that carmakers overall are becoming more proactive in their recalls, pulling vehicles back and replacing parts to address consumer's safety concerns, even though they may not be officially required to do so. I was hoping that maybe you could help us with our problem.it's just alot of money to pay for something that they can't guarantee won't fix the problem.according to the internet, people have these fixed and have to have them fixed again. Thanks so much for your time!
Drivers side air bag light stays on. I have taken this car in to approximately 16 times to 7 different dealerships in four different states. They said they replaced different parts each time but within four to six weeks the airbag light comes on again. The last dealership i took it to in columbia tn said that nissan had told them to replace the front wiring harness but they refused to do it. They said it would take them too long and did not want to do it.

11/27/07 problem: air bag light flashing.(two occurrences)diagnostic conducted 11/25/07 and 11/27/07.at the first service dealer could not determine diagnostic codes and i was asked to bring vehicle in 11/27/07 a complete diagnostic was conducted.according to dealership diagnostic codes the passenger side seat needs to be replaced with costs exceeding $1000.the seats, thus far appear to be in tack.what does seat cushion have to do with airbag or its sensor?the vehicle is less than years 2years new with approx. 51,000 miles.concerns: vehicle safety and proper deployment of airbags.i was informed by dealership that this is common in muranos and pathfinders.if so, why hasn't there been a recall w/o costs to consumer.after reviewing similar complaints submitted by other consumers, it appears to me that safety concerns exists including but not limited to the risks of injury to a passenger.in addition, the actual cause and final repair resolution remains unknown and unresolved. (see other consumer complaint no. 10208537)it is not a coincidence that my vehicle's airbag indicator failed around the same mileage as the other. Who is to say that the airbag will not malfunction in case of accident?(please also see consumer complaint no 10199625 & c.c. No. 10196794)

The nissan murano has a defect that makes installing child seats difficult, if not impossible, in the rear center position. Specifically, the anchor point for tether straps of forward facing child seats is located so far from the vehicle's center seat that you cannot successfully anchor the tether strap, thus preventing a true installation in the center position.i am a nationally certified child seat technician.
Passenger door does not lock or unlock from the outside.rear hatch door does not unlock and will not open.i checked online and there are hundreds of complaints about nissan murano lock actuators posing problems and not working.nissan dealerships charge approximately $500 to fix each actuator, which seems extremely unfair considering it appears to be such a common defect.this is not only an unnecessary and preventable problem, but can be an extremely safety hazard.
The problem with my car was the involuntary locking of all doors without my involvement whenever i parked the car somewhere. This proved very inconvenient at times when i didn't have my car keys with me. The dealer kept the car for a few days only to tell me they could not solve the problem. They didn't even offer to contact nissan with the problem.
2005 nissan murano door lock actuators have gone bad.i have googled this on line and have found nearly every owner has had electrical problems with this vehicle - this being one of the number one issues.however, nissan refuses to issue a recall and fix this problem.what is it going to take?how many people have to have this problem before they realize that it is something they did wrong in the manufacturing of this vehicle?am i really going to have to pay $1600 to repair this on a 6 year old car?not good customer service nissan!!!
Recall on engine resonator iss and airduct intake. Engine stalling on highway. Engine shakes sometimes
Electronic door lock on the driver side would sporadically unlock or lock door...now is all the time and must be locked manually.this is a safety hazard when trying enter the vehicle in an un secure environment or can result in stolen merchandise or parts left in the vehicle. Driver side sun visor also well not stay in upright position and drops suddenly blocking the view of the driver.
I had a check engine light and an airbag light appear on my dash. While driving on the beltway the abs light came on and my car slowed down and wouldn't tee pond to the gas pedal. After about 2 minutes it kicked back in so i took it to get a diagnostic from a nissan dealer the next morning. They told me everything was fine according to the computer there were a lot of codes that popped up but they told me they weren't happening anymore. I asked of they checked all of the wires they told me yes. So i took my vehicle and later that night while driving back from lunch break the abs light came on again and the murano slowed down as before only this time it cut completely off. It only held a jump for about 5 blocks before it cut off again. I had it towed back to the dealer the next morning and they told me they can't check anything unless i purchase a new battery so i bought a new battery and they put it in and told me everything was fine again it just needed a new battery. They told me everything was reading fine but in my opinion that was because it was feeding off the juice of a new battery. About 2 hours after leaving the dealer the same thing happen again with a new battery while i was driving. The abs light came on the car slowed down this time the meters went crazy then it cut off. Only by the grace of god that no one was injured with my car cutting off while i'm driving. I called the dealer and they were not willing to do anything different and they told me my vin number is not under a recall. I called nissan consumer affairs after a week of waiting and unreturned calls i finally talked to a regional manager from tennessee by the name of [xxx] only because i got transferred to him and all he told me was nissan will not help you out financially. He didn't discuss the issue or offer solutions and showed no concern for safety only money even though i never asked for it.

In mid jan, 2013 i noticed that after locking with the key fob, the front door remained unlocked, and would not lock from inside the car with either the individual lock control or the whole car lock control. The only way to lock the door is with your key, from the outside. In the event of an accident you do not have the added safety of a locked drivers door. All other doors are operating correctly at this time. The web seems to be filled with other problems like this and i wonder if they realize the danger they face when all doors are not locked in the event of an accident.
Door locks starting with drivers side passenger and now the driver door will not lock or unlock unless manually changed with lever or key. This is a huge safety issue and should be addressedpassenger doors are random however are starting to show similar signsthanks in advance.
Fuel sensor says car is on empty but will never fill up past 1/2 tank. Alternator is out now & bad vibration when driving between 60-70mph so could possibly be u joint considering everything else has been done that would correct a vibration
I'm unable to lock/unlock any doors using the lock/unlock buttons in the car. They only lock/unlock manually. The key manually locks/unlocks the driver door only. Fob doesn't work for any locks, and it's a new one.
Nissan murano door actuators have failed on 2 of 4 doors, leaving me unable to enter/exit my vehicle with the remote. In addition, i cannot open the trunk of the vehicle unless the passenger door actuator is working, which it does not. The inside door locks do not move, so i do not know if my car is ever locked or unlocked, again, safety concern. Please investigate this, as i know other owners have complained and nissan continues to ignore this as an issue!!!
2 tpms sensors failed and cost $285 to replace.batteries failed in each sensor requiring a full replacement of each unit.tire pressure light would come on after 10 miles, leading the driver to believe that there was a pressure problem when there really was not an issue, which could create a safety concern.
The front drivers door failed.. More specifically, when the lock system is activated electronically, the doors typically fail to completely lock or unlock completely. Visually, the inside lock 'button' only moves partway. There is reason to believe this affects many owners of nissan and infinity vehicles. Some suspect actuator problems and others suspect relay problems. There is an investigation into a class action law suit and there's petitions. The manufacturer doesn't want to claim responsibility and this problem is affecting thousands of owners. This problem has safety implication and can create potentially life threatening situations. I advice that this problem be taken seriously and make the manufacturers accountable for these defects.thank you
Door locks problem.when i lock the doors with my control or from the inside, they don't lock or unlock.same with the trunk, i cannot open my trunk because the system doesn't work.i contacted dealer and they told me i have to replace locks (all 5) for more than $1500.00i also see this issue is common in all nissan in different years.a recalled should be called since this is a security issue with the car.thanks
I am driving my car and the brake light came on battery light came on and then i lost power and it will charge the battery to battery tip acting like he was dead and i put a brand new battery in and it still did the same thing and it wasn't giving the battery any charge i haven't been able to dry my car i got it stuck on the highway it is was in m motion
Vehicle has entered "fail-safe" mode at least 8 times in the past year.dealership has had the vehicle no less than 7 times following "fail-safe" events.ground wire to ecm svc bulletin was completed.recalled alternator was replaced (after 4th event).airbag sensor and airbag spiral cable were replaced following separate events.currently, carmd tool is giving a p2135 error code, and states that latest event was caused by throttle position sensor/switch and/or an "a" /"b" electrical voltage correlation error.all "fail-safe" mode events occurred during high-speed (55-65 mph) traffic on multi-lane highways, with the exception of the latest event.three times, entry into "fail-safe" mode created extremely hazardous situations and near-accidents.each time, after the ignition was switched off, the vehicle has restarted in normal operating mode, but the mil came on and stayed on until vehicle was serviced by dealership.
The door locks on my vehicle will not lock or unlock with the keyless remote and the passengers front door lock will not lock or unlock unless manually locked and also the backseat behind the passenger that door will not lock or unlock with the keyless remote this is a safety hazard for my young children riding in my car. The manufacturer of the these vehicles should be held responsible for the costto correct these problems apparently this has been an on going issue with these door locks as to what i have seen with the complaints posted. What is it going to take to get these locks fixed before young children get killed.
Tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) warning light stays on after driving about 10 miles.light does not return after restarting vehicle until driven another 10 miles.tire pressure checked and rechecked, but no problem with pressure, around 35 psi. *ln
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled and the seat belt warning indicator remained illuminated even when the driver's seat belt was latched. The dealer (lawley nissan, 2960 e fry blvd, sierra vista, az 85635, (520) 459-2000) was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 05v319000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 156,000.
The front passenger door and lift gate locks are failing to lock or unlock from key fob or from lock/unlock switch on driver's door.
Car loses power while driving. Codes p1700 and c1210 pop up in computer. No one can tell me what is wrong. Airbag light is on. No one can turn it off or tell me if it will work.
Power lock on passenger door on 2005 nissan murano would not lock or unlock it.
It seems that i have all of the well known problems with the nissan murano. I got the air bag light that won't turn off which to me is a major safety and very dangerous issue. I heard that in case of an accident the air bags and seat belts won't work. Nissan needs to address this problem asap before someone or multiple people lose their life because of their lack of responsibility. Another problem i have is none of door actuators work including the rear hatch door except for the driver's side door that door is the only door that unlocks and locks which i also think it's another safety issue. I also have the bad power steering rack which i mentioned a lot is a safety issue. The steering has so much play that its difficult to drive i wish nissan would step up to the plate and admit that these should be repaired because of their bad engineering with these trucks.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving at an undisclosed speed, all power to the vehicle seized without warning. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were unknown.
My back driver side door would not unlock or lock this morning. It was working fine yesterday afternoon. I tried to unlock from the inside and appears that the lock button is not working as it should. I cannot open the door at all from outside or inside. I only use the key itself and unlock or lock doors with the panel buttons.
I was driving when all at about 30 mph when all of the sudden my lights (service engine, battery.) on dashboard turn on and the speed of my car was reduced drastically.i was able to drive my car to a speed of no more than 5mph. I park and after that my car had to be tow away.i was told by nissan dealership where i bought the car that it was the alternator and it had to be replaced.to my knowledge there is a recall for nissan murano 2005 alternators.
Passenger door, passenger-side rear door, driver-side rear door and trunk door will not unlock while pressing the key fob twice.manually unlocking the doors by using the keyhole on the outside of the driver door does not solve the above problem.manually unlocking the doors by using the driver / passenger side unlock button on the armrest does not solve the above problem.trunk door cannot be opened with any of the above means due to absence of manual lock/unlock lever on the exterior of the door.
This complaint relates to a closed recall for the 2005 nissan murano nhtsa campaign id number: 05v3190. Two months with the vehicle and i had transmission problems, where the vehicle lost power and drive-ability, bringing my passengers and myself to a harms way. I contracted aamco to replace the transmission, one month later, nissan usa had to provide another transmission to replace the one changed one month before. Last monday, july 06, 2015, while driving on the new jersey garden state parkway, the vehicle presented serious trouble, when the emergency brake, awd and abs warning lights came on, as the vehicle lost speed, transmission disengaged, putting my wife, myself and other vehicles around us in serious risk of accident. I managed to pull the vehicle to the shoulder and later to a near by friend`s house in the galloway area. After contacting nissan usa regarding the transmission, they told me to contact aamco, since they installed the new transmission. Aamco checked the vehicle and found out that, the problem was caused by the alternator that heated up, dropped voltage to 12v dc and caused the safe mode to engage, by making the vehicle unsafe on the middle of the highway. Nissan usa claims that this nhtsa campaign has been closed, when it is to my believe that, it should be re-opened and not only me, but also many other nissan murano owners, that still confront such factory defective issues to have this issue resolved. I was lucky to be able to act fast enough and bring my vehicle to safes way, would all others be so lucky?
When locking door with remote control,the drivers door does not lock.
I was driving down the city road and it just felt like the car shut off and no longer got gas almost like an alternator would do i could put it in park and there would still be power you could hear the engine again i would put it back in drive or even tried a low gear no gears was making my car move but it would make sound in parkthe battery light and brake light then came on and my car died shortly after completely already workwhile studying your recalls i noticed the make and model of my car had certain recalls with the alternator of faulty wire in it when i try to report this they told me it was the wrong batch but it's funny my car is doing the same thing do to my car doing this you can no longer move your vehicle so it is dangerous it stops you right in the middle of the road you cannot gas it to go your website mentions a failsafe mode that it may have fell into
Driver's door and rear passenger door locks will not lock when actuated from the door power lock or the remote power lock. This is a danger because it means door locks can not be relied to power lock or unlock in the event of an emergency.
Takata recall..i drove my 2005 nissan muranoand i parked the nissan. 20 minutes later started to back the car and as soon as i put it on dr it went by 2 miles an hour so then i pressed on the gas all the way down and it still went to miles an hour it's still drove but it was going around 5 miles an hour. Then i parked the nissan and let it cool off and see what was wrong. I could not find nothing, i called my husband he could not find nothing either, he drove it around the block and it still went 5 miles an hour so then he checked the engine nothing was wrong but it did say abs and then around 20 minutes later the nissan turn on and it went normal and nothing happened until 2 months later. The next time i was at a drive-thru and then all of a sudden the abs turn on and it did not want to go fast it went again five miles an hour. Then i turn around the corner and then it went fast but then it went slow again so i park the nissan, and begin to start it and then it wouldn't start the abs went on again, then the battery was dead. I finally got a jump and it turned back on like normal and it went normal until i got to the store and i left the nissan on with the air condition and had my son in the car. My son said that air conditioner keep going on and off on and off the windows were not working try to roll down the windows it wasn't working so then i got in the car and as soon as i put it in dry it didn't want to go it went 5 miles an hour then the abs turned back on and then it went back to normal i was driving i made it all the way home and that is what's going on with a nissan murano.
Driver's side door actuator does not work to open/lock the door anymore.safety issue for my wife's car.online search showed 1000's of nissan owners with the same problem.how this is not a recall i do not know.
All of my locks no longer work.i have seen countless complaints about this very issue and nothing is getting done about it.i thought nissan was suppose to be one of the best out there.i'll never buy another nissan again if they continue not to assist their customers.i also have the air intake issue, thankfully that was recalled and will be fixed.i had to replace the front struts, oil cooler gasket, front sway bar links and the battery has been changed 3 times now.very disappointed with nissan and so embarrassed to even talk about the issues with this car.:(
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred numerous times while the contact was in traffic. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic where a diagnostic was performed, which located the failure at the alternator.the failure alternator was replaced three times but the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number: 05v319000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 101,239 and the current mileage was 120,151.
Vehicle shut-off without warning while driving on the roads and freeway.had to immediately put neutral restart engine several times.took it to the dealership in bellevue ne and they only replaced the duct vent tube from the air filter. I had mentioned that it has a code on odb2 scanner cam sensor and they don't have a recall for it. Please need a safe car for me and my family.
First the passenger side electric door locks were failing to lock or unlock, within weeks both rear locks started failing! this is a very major safety concern for my wife and daughter. Plus in the drive the other night it didn't lock and someone got in and vandalized the interior and took personal items.
Nissan's recall on the 2005 murano states that the vehicle falls into a "failsafe" condition which limits vehicle speed. Very shortly after this, the engine will stop running...could result in a crash.my vehicle haddone that 4 times.two times in heavy traffic.you have about a minute to get to the shoulder before the vehicle stops.in that minute, the vehicle is rapidly decelerates to a crawl.i was nearly rear ended by a toyota sequoia. Dominion nissan "fixed" my vehicle and assured me it would not happen again. A few month later, as i neared my home, it happened again.the alternator was replaced pursuant to the recall notice. On january 11, 2008 i left work and headed for the interstate.the vehicle decelerated from 50mph to a crawl within about a minute.dangerously made it to the shoulder.had this happen several moment later i would have been trying to merge onto the interstate, in rush hour, in a construction zone.i could easily have been killed in such a circumstance.nissan "fixed" the car again.it happened again on january 19, 2008.they want to "fix" it again.i said that they should replace the vehicle.i filed a complaint on jan 21 by phone, jan 27 by email and jan 28 by letter.nissan and the dealer have not responded.
My driver side rear door began malfunctioning when using the remote and button door lock controls. All doors would lock but the driver side rear door would remain unlocked. The same was true when unlocking all doors with remote or buttons. All doors would unlock accept the driver side rear door. The issue has now progressed to other doors in the car with increasing frequency including the rear hatch not opening at all and i have not manual button to flip to allow the hatch to open.
I have had intermittent problems opening the front driver side door with the keyless remote for 2 1/2 years and recently it has become a problem 99% of the time.about a month ago i discovered one of my rear doors was unlocked when it should not have been.yesterday when a passenger tried to get in the backdoor on the opposite side it would not unlock even when using the interior button.i'm sure it's only a matter of time before the only properly functioning door stops working and the gas cap will no longer open.how do you open the gas cap with a faulty locking mechanism??is there a way to open it manually??there is also a question of safety if doors cannot be locked and unlocked with the interior lock button....risk of car jacking, theft.emergency personnel could not gain quick access in the event of an accident or fire or submersion when every second counts, especially involving infants and small children in car seats (or elderly) who can't or don't know how to manually unlock the door. Lives are at risk!the cost to repair one door is astronomical let alone having to repair three or all four.this is a widespread nissan defect that they refuse to acknowledge and repair.i have always been a big nissan fan and this is the third nissan i have owned.i will not buy another one if they don't step up and fix this problem.we owners of these vehicles are reminded daily of the safety issues every single time we enter and exit our cars and have to manually check each door to make sure they are all locked.a recall needs to be issued.this is a safety concern.
"takata recall"nhtsa campaign number: 05v319000 i experienced the exact same issue described in the campaign number above.i called the pischke motors nissan in lacrosse wisconsin about the problem.they simply told me that there was no recall regarding that issue.they said that my murano was made after that recall was addressed however, as mentioned, i'am seeing the exact same problem.the vehicle was in a parking lot in motion when it failed.
My battery won't charge even with brand new alternator.nissan had a campaign but claims my vehicle wasn't affected by it. Campaign #05v319000
Battery and brake light came on at the same time while driving down a main street, light will turn on and off. After driving for around an hour car takes around 30 seconds to actually go when pressing on gas.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.while driving 35 mph, the battery failed in the vehicle.the dealer replaced the battery.eighteen months later, the battery warning indicator illuminated and the battery failed again.the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number 05v319000 (electrical system:alternator/generator/regulator), which was identical to the failure she experienced.the dealer stated that her vin was not included in the recall; however, they changed the cam shaft position in the vehicle.the failure mileage was 44,400.
First my driver door lock would work and then it wouldn't.next the same thing happened with the lift gate lock and now it doesn't work at all so i had a repair shop replace the hatch lock and it still doesn't work.
We have a 2005 nissan murano that has had the door lock actuators fail repeatedly since we've owned the car.when the locks fail, the doors and rear hatch can not be opened or locked with either the remote fob or the electric controls on the doors.they need to be opened manually by releasing the locking lever by hand.often when they fail the rear hatch can not be opened because there is not a manual releasethis is extremely dangerous and is a known problem with this style of door lock actuator.nissan is aware of this issue and has deemed the repair out of warranty even though this problem has occurred while under warranty and ever since.the individual actuator for each door approaches $500 in cost.they've advised to not have this problem, buy a new vehicle which is not acceptable.there are numerous instances of internet complaints on this issue.general motors ignored their problems for years and nissan is effectively ignoring this problem.the design of the lock actuator itself is defective and needs to be replaced with a better designed component.
The front drivers door is failing to lock or unlock from key fob or from lock/unlock switch on driver's door.*ln
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle slowed down and the brake and battery indicators illuminated. The failure was not diagnosed.

Power failure, inability to accelerate and possibility to being rear-ended as a result.
The intelligent key system and the key fob do not unlock the doors consistently.they do not unlock the driver or front passenger doors at all, and from time to time will unlock the rear doors.we have been experiencing this for over a year.
I was driving my 2005 nissan murano on the highway when the battery light and brake light came on. Few minutes later it wouldn't accelerate then stalled out and wouldn't start. After getting a jump it started up but wouldn't move. I can get the alternator but i'm still having the problem. Don't know what else to do. I can't keep it running long enough to take it in to be checked. Please help fix this issue.
Door locks not functioning properly.will not lock/unlock from fob or interior switch on the interior of the vehicle.this is a safety concern because in the event of a crash you may not be able to unlock the doors to exit the vehicle or it may prevent emergency medical personnel to easily gain access to the vehicle.it is also a concern because it can potentially leave the vehicle vulnerable to potential theft of items in the interior of the vehicle since they don't reliably lock.
Original owner of murano, purchased new in 2005.the door locks fail to lock and un-lock.this has occured at vairous times when using any means available to lock and un-lock the doors: the key fob, interior driver sideand passenger side locks button on door, and manual manipilation of the interior door lock(s).the issue is experienced with all 4 door locks and occassionally the rear hatch (not opened as often, so it may occure more frequently, just not aware of it).the condition worsens in the warm weather (live in fl).have at times been unable to get in or out of my vehicle until all of the above means tried repeatedly until one works.have found that i can only get in my car during warm weather if i use the fob to roll the front windows down and then reach in the vehicle and manually unlock the car door.
All passenger doors do not lock/unlock either using the fob or the driver power lock controller, the hatch is now lockingintermittently. This is a huge safety/security issue especially now that the hatch is having problems.this issue started in 2011, which i had the drivers door fixed, then starting in 2012 the passenger doors started having issues, now in 2013 the remaining passenger door and hatchback!!there is obviously a problem which must be addressed!
Back in april my murano would turn off whether i was accelerating or just sitting at a stop light, the brake light and battery light would come on and vehicle wouldnt start back up, ended up having it towed 3 different times to mechanic who couldnt figure out what was wrong because it wasnt showing any codes so from there had it towed to newton nissan where it took them 10 days to diagnose it was the alternator (replaced battery first but that didnt work)ended up getting the nissan alternator versus aftermarket for the warranty, get it back everything is fine, now in august alternator fails out again, back to newton nissan we go, the replace "alternator" and when i get it back power steering isnt working so after the fixed that everything was fine until it started shutting off on me again like the very first time. Meanwhile ive had to pay over $1000 for the alternator work which was recalled however my vin didnt fall under the recall. Engine compartment and hood of car are also so hot you cant touch them even after just driving 1 mile in 70 degreee weather however the temperature gauge isnt running high. Now the airbag light is flashing onand off upon starting. I tried cycling the engine nurmerous times but the light is still on. Nissan said they will have to replace whole unit for $5000 because they cant pin point airbag issue. Airbag issue isnt fixed and nobody can tell me if i have a working air bag or not. Im not sure if i need to contact an attorney because im now concerned about the safety of my 4 year old daughter while in the vehicle.

While driving on the street or highway abs light comes on then vehicle stalls and rolls at about 2 mph and the car doesn't respond when i press the gas pedal. Usually the abs light turns off then i can drive normally. The last time this happened the car turned off i had to push it out of the street and it wouldn't start up for a couple of hours, then the abs light came on again and then it stalls with no response when pressing the gas pedal. This has happened over 10 times even after replacing the brakes and checking all the sensors, checking the battery and all of the connections and fluids.

I started to notice that when i'd use my keyless entry that the doors wouldn't unlock so i replaced my keyless entry only to discover that wasn't it using the panel on the drivers side if i unlock/lock the doors only 1 door aside from the drivers will unlock... My trunk will unlock selectively and with this model there is no other way to get in our out the trunk aside from the tail gatei took it to the dealer to get it fixed and when his response immediately was "it's your actuators, we get these all the time with your kind of car" it struck a nerve with me and i didn't get it done when i found out the cost is $400 per door that's including labori then started to do research on line and i see forums of over a thousand 05/06 murano owners with the same issue that im having some have replaced them some have complained there was petitions and nothing has been donegod forbid someone who doesn't realize this gets in and like most of us locks there doors behind them only to realize it didn't with something awful like a burglary or something... What if there is an accident and they cant get to the victim because the doors don't unlock these are worst case scenarios but this should not be common.
The battery and brake warning light come on. The vehicle goes into limp mode and doesn't drive. This happen when i was driving on city street at 45 miles per hour i had to pull over and get it towed home,
I was driving out of my driveway, when the car stalled and hesitated. I saw the battery light and the brake light come on, so i drove the car slowly down the street in front of my apartment, and parked it there.i later read that this was common on nissan muranos, model years 2003 through 2007, and a recall campaign, 05v319000 was started.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving approximately 15 mph and making a right turn, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration. Later, after parking the vehicle, it was discovered that the battery was drained. The battery was recharged and the vehicle was able to be restarted. The cause of the failures were not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 134,000.

2005 nissan murano sl with only 58,000 miles on it has the seat defect where it is stuck and won't move forward and back.it appears that the bracket system attachment to the floor has become broken.this is a dangerous manufacture defect that can cause accidents and the car to be unable to drive.the repair for this is quoted at $1,500.nissan should recall these and fix them on their own cost, not the consumer.
The air bag indicator light is flashing in the dash again. I had this problem fixed once before while still under warranty at the north little rock dealership. On leaving the garage within just a mile, i made a left turn and heard a crunching noise in the steering column and it came back on. I went strait back and they said they would fix it but the (second replacement part) wouldn't be in till the next day so i was given a loaner for one day.now it's back on again.also noted shortly after the warranty expired that the lumbar support on the drivers side no longer inflates/deflates and hasn't worked since. I have had all recalls fixed and had to replace the battery at 37,000 miles at my cost. Also had to have the dealership resurface both front rotors and replace a rear caliper under warranty that had locked up 1 & 1/2 years ago. I see that the front rotors are in need of resurfacing again even though the break pads have 1/2 of there wear left to go. Due to the highly chromed /curved dipstick, getting an accurate oil level reading is not possible at any time, so the dipstick has only been removed three time since purchasing it as it is a pointless endeavor. I own six autos that range in age from 1972 threw this 2005 murano and of all of them, the murano is the least trusted one. I will never own another nissan.
Car loss power and stop,and i change battery and drew 1 mile ,and i stopfor gas,i show smoke coming out of engine.
Has faulty electronic locks. Viewed as a safety issue as it prevents the ability to get in and/or out in a quick and efficient manner should there be an emergency. The door will not unlock/lock using the electronic devices or buttons and in order to unlock the door you have to open another door and reach over and manually unlock. I have significant concerns related to my and my family's safety in the vehicle. After research it appears that this problem is common and nissan is not taking any responsibility to replace or repair causing significant (up to $1600) financial cost to the owner.
The power locks do not work all the time when using the fob or the switch inside the door. The doors and lift gate do not always lock or unlock. My wife has been locked out of the car in the meijers parking lot with our two small children unable to get in car.this is a major safety issue and i find it unacceptable. I am concerned that if there was an accident, fire, severe weather that my family would not be able to get in or out (depending on the situation) of the car in a timely manner causing injury or death. Doing some research i have found that there are many other nissan murano and other nissan vehicle owners that have been having the same problem. It all appears that nissan issued a recall for the frontier pickup for this same issue. We now have to leave the vehicle unlocked at all times so we can get in and out without incident. Please call me if you have any further questions. Thanks.
My nissan murano 2005 suv has been stopping in motion while driving again, and this has happened more then 7 times in the past 2 months.but this time it happened on the 405 fwy with my children. The vehicle slowed down on the freeway and i had to find the right shoulder lane in call aaa. I checked the recalls on the internet for this car and there was recalls back in 2005 when i bought the vehicle and i didn't receive a notices in the mail. I've called the nissan hotline with no replies and emailed the company too; i was emailed back that there was a recall on the second row seat belts. This car is totally unsafe; plus vehicle has five recalls such as gas tank, set belt, engine and engine cooling, transmission, and alternator.i looked at the forum for the nissan murano in it seems like the same problem with the 2003-2005 models.
Door lock actuators began to failin our 2005 nissan murano. They stopped responding suddenly and when we thought the car was locked, it was in fact opened, which is a safety issue.it is a very common issue and usually all actuator go out at the same time. We have replaced driver's dooractuator (that cost us $400) and now have to deal with other 3. Hopefully nissan will recognize this as a serious problem and will issue a recall.
Exiting parking lot onto roadway,engine hesitation with little acceleration, awd lock comes on, service engine soon comes on. Turn off roadway, shut off vehicle and restart, no acceleration power, malfunction indicator lights still on - cannot drive vehicle. Next morning towed to dealership; report is a code u1000 - electrical and ground wire problem. Tsb procedure followed based on the code. However, tsb says it applies to the code only when no malfunction indicators lights are on. Therefore, i do not believe problem is fixed. Also, since then a vibration is detected through the gas pedal when accelerating. Service manager and tech test drove and stated there was something detected but no fix since there is no tsb for this kind of problem.
Began having issues with the locks to the point the rear hatch locks and won't unlock, not all doors lock or unlock anymore. Took to our mechanic and when he replaced the switch it still didn't work. He did some research and said this is an issue from nissan directly with the actuators.
Airbag light flashing, both front door locks quit working at the same time along with the hatch lock that gets stuck, now the sun visor on drivers side is falling down.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.while coming to a stop at an unknown speed, the vehicle accelerated when the brake pedal was repeatedly depressed.the vehicle failed to decelerate and crashed into a brick building.the front passenger sustained injuries to the chest and both knees.a police report was filed.the vehicle was towed to a mechanic and for severe front end damage.the building was also damaged.prior to the crash, the front driver and passenger side windows along with all four power door locks activated independently while the vehicle was parked.the vehicle was being repaired.the manufacturer was not notified.the failure mileage was 76,000.
My vehicle caught fire as i proceeded to pull away from a curbside parking space. I turned my wheel to the far left as i proceeded away from the curb and that is when i heard a pop sound, saw white smoke spewing from the front right side of the vehicle, then i saw the flames.five days prior to the incident, i had front brake pads and resurfaced rotors placed on the vehicle.within the past 30 days the only other maintenance performed on the vehicle was a standard oil change.
Both failures 4/8/06 and 5/1/06 - pause in starting, engine hesitations when running,awd lock comes on, service engine soon comes on, no acceleration power - cannot drive vehicle. Both times same code u1000 - electrical and ground wire problem. I have been left stranded twice in this vehicle and feel very unsafe!

While driving on the highway the 2005 murano slowed down, i pressed more firmly on the gas and it did nothing. I pulled onto the shoulder of the highway and the car had shut off completely. I tried restarting the murano several times with no luck. I had to call for a flat bed tow truck which took 5 plus hours of me sitting in the freezing cold with no power in my car in the dead of winter. Vehicle was towed home and i was told i needed a new battery. I went to pep boys and purchased a brand new battery and had pep boys install it for me. The next night as i was driving my fiance to his house the 2005 murano again lost momentum and within seconds shut down. And again i could not turn the vehicle back on. I had to call for another flat bed tow truck and wait luckily only 3 hours this time for them to show up. I had the vehicle towed to my mechanic who replaced the alternator in the vehicle and another new battery. That was in november of 2018, it is now febuary 2019 and i have not had any electrical issues since. Why is this not covered under the recall that there was for the 2005 nissan murano? i do not understand why they refuse to cover the cost when they had to recall hundreds of thousands of this car for this issue and yet mine was not included?????
The front passenger lock would not open using the key fob or the interior lock buttons. The rear hatch will not open unless the front passenger door is unlock. Recently ( spring of 2013, 129k miles), the driver and rear passenger side locks would not operate unless manually unlocked, at first intermittently and ultimately stopped working completely.
The locks on the doors will sporadically lock or unlock and i am afraid my child may get locked in the car one day if keys are left in passenger seat when walking around vehicle to get child. This poses a serious threat to children or anyone in an unsure environment.
Nissan knowing there is a security problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent. It's an open door to a lawsuit if someone were to be murdered due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the locking noise. Remember, in this case there's no obvious indication the door isn't locked unless someone walks up and opens it from the outside. The drive "thinks" the door is locked, when in reality it's an "open door" for carjacking or robbery.this failure is an intermittent of operation. Sometimes the doors lock ok, other times they don't. In addition, sometimes the doors unlock ok, other times they don't. 3. In emergencies it's important to be able to unlock doors quickly. Since 99% of the time we all use the button to lock and unlock doors, using the manual locking lever is unfamiliar. And the murano's design is such that it's not easy to comprehend if it's not your car, for instance a rental car. I can easily understand how some people would be confused how unlock a door using the manual level in an emergency when they virtually have no experience with it. In emergencies every second counts. The locking/unlocking solenoid malfunctioning is clearly a high risk in emergency scenarios. Some people who cannot afford the $1600 to have all the solenoids replaced (as quoted by dealers) will forgo getting them fixed, putting their family members at risk with the above mishap examples. This shouldn't be, nissan should recall them.it's only a matter of time till someone gets robbed, hurt or killed from a malfunctioning door lock, disabling the security which the driver "thinks" he has when he locks the car. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

On the date listed, while entering traffic flow from a parking lot, my 2005 nissan murano suddenly lost power and enter the "fail safe" (limp home) mode where the vehicle had no acceleration.this was a sudden failure and there had been nor were there any indications of any developing problems with the vehicle. The only warning light was the mil and the physical loss of power. Therewas no accident, but the failure could have resulted in a t-bone collision since the oncoming traffic was approaching at 50 mph and there was virtually no right hand emergency pull-off area on the roadway to safely place the vehicle outside travel lanes. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for under warranty repair. This repair took less than an hour and the cause of the problem was describe to me as a dirty or loose electrical ground to the ecm.

While driving on the highway my car was doing 2 rpm even when i pressed my gas pedtal down to the floor it wouldn't rev up which olny cause the car the car to do 10mph onced it reached 15mph it just shut off as i was drving on the highway thank god it was kind of late so i was able to steer my car on the shoulder i waited a good 10 to 15 minutes then it started back up still having rough idle problems the next day took it to the shop and trouble shooting codes popped up regarding both o2 sensors being replaced, i fixed the problem then a month later my car started jerking as i drive took it back to my mechanic the crankshaft sensor went bad so i ended up replacing that senor as wellwhich now my car only reaches a maxium of 55mphi don't drive my car on the highway due to my car still having idle issues and now i notice my car burns oil really fast and my oli light indicator don't pop up on the dash board like it suppose to the only way i know my car needs oil now is when i hear like a fan noise coming from under the hood, nissan you guys really need to take this car off the market as i have read im not the only driver having this issue with this svu its rasing safety concerns their are 960 complaints!!! i use my car to get back and fourth to work, take my daughter to school and i have no money to buy a new car please fix this problem!!!! its not right to keep this car on the market.
My concerns are there any recalls including safety on my 2005 muranothe vehicles check engine light,week later at various times while in park and running the car will shut offthe air bag warning icon, at various times the vehicle would slow while driving and not respond to gas pedalalso the abs warning light appearedat times the windows roll down on their own while vehicle is offi have not taken the vehicle for repairs.
While driving on the street or highway abs light comes on then vehicle stalls and rolls at about 2 mph and the car doesn't respond when i press the gas pedal. Usually the abs light turns off then i can drive normally. The last time this happened the car turned off i had to push it out of the street and it wouldn't start up for a couple of hours, then the abs light came on again and then it stalls with no response when pressing the gas pedal. This has happened over 10 times even after replacing the brakes and checking all the sensors, checking the battery and all of the connections and fluids.
I started hearing a rattle when under acceleration and could never find the culprit. It started jingling like change in someone pocket so i looked again and notice a piece of the idler pulley bracket going in circles around the adjustment screw. I looked up online only to yet another under designed part by nissan. This part failing can cause serious damage and even wrecks if not fixed immediately.

My nissan murano 2005 suv has been stopping in motion while driving again, and this has happened more then 7 times in the past 2 months.but this time it happened on the 405 fwy with my children.

I recently bought this vehicle and i'll be driving and my engine will stall like it's going to die and then the light comes on that says slip and vdc off i believe it is saying that this recall was incomplete on this vehicle can you please replythe vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it is happening every time i drive the vehicle
Last week was almost in an accident when my car completely turned off while waiting at a light at night.i was almost hit several times.last year i had the alternator replaced.this time i had the cam shift sensors replaced.guess what?it happened all over again in one week.people are going to die.my vehicle lost its ability to even have its hazard buttons on.my vehicle is under no recall.how can this company get away with this?can they at least tell us what is wrong, so that we can fix it?
Takata recall, i changed all thee coil packs, alternator, starter, batteries, oil change on time but the check engine light would never go off. The car has stalled on me several times almost causing accidents (several times). My car would smoke sooo bad when i stop and that was because the motor kept dumping oil in 5he throttle. I am afraid to drive this car because it may catch on fire due to the extreme oil leak.
I've been having problems with this car every month since i bought it in 2011 from arrow motors inc, 2225 wakeling st phila pa 19137. The never disclose to me of the issues. If they ran a car fax i would have know. It wasn't until recently when i attempted to sell the car and was informed through car fax that it was in 5 accidents. If i had known this i would have never bought the car. This is completely unjust.
The engine struggles to start on a nissan murano 2005. The mechanic claims the crank engine sensor is at fault. The nissan dealer said the part is made of plastic and known to wear out. Nissan has fixed the problem for newer cars by changing the material that is used. If nissan is aware this problem exists, shouldn't this be a recall? the mechanic warned me the engine could fail while driving. Users on online forums have indicated having the car fail while driving whether it's at high speeds or on local roads.
Thecadillac converters are junk and you guys oughta be ashamed of yourself for not recall and i'm on all the ones that they've all had problems with because there's been several and it's not a cheap fix just had one fix now the other 2 went out and i haven't even had the vehicle 30 days.
Air intake hose becomes lose causing car to stall in traffic and stop. Frequent jumpstarts necessary when it becomes loose.
Car stalls when driving
This complaint relates to a closed recall for the 2005 nissan murano nhtsa campaign id number: 05v3190. Two months with the vehicle and i had transmission problems, where the vehicle lost power and drive-ability, bringing my passengers and myself to a harms way. I contracted aamco to replace the transmission, one month later, nissan usa had to provide another transmission to replace the one changed one month before. Last monday, july 06, 2015, while driving on the new jersey garden state parkway, the vehicle presented serious trouble, when the emergency brake, awd and abs warning lights came on, as the vehicle lost speed, transmission disengaged, putting my wife, myself and other vehicles around us in serious risk of accident. I managed to pull the vehicle to the shoulder and later to a near by friend`s house in the galloway area. After contacting nissan usa regarding the transmission, they told me to contact aamco, since they installed the new transmission. Aamco checked the vehicle and found out that, the problem was caused by the alternator that heated up, dropped voltage to 12v dc and caused the safe mode to engage, by making the vehicle unsafe on the middle of the highway. Nissan usa claims that this nhtsa campaign has been closed, when it is to my believe that, it should be re-opened and not only me, but also many other nissan murano owners, that still confront such factory defective issues to have this issue resolved. I was lucky to be able to act fast enough and bring my vehicle to safes way, would all others be so lucky?

I was driving my car and the engine acted like it was going to stall and wouldn't respond by giving it gas. Then it just lurched forward abrubtly and began to run normally. Then after about 2 more blocks while we're going 45 mph it completely stalled out in the middle lane of a 3 lane road. This caused the car behind me to almost rearend us but the cars behind them actually did get into a crash trying to stop from hitting them. Thankfully a police car was a few cars back and was able to put their lights on and push my car out of traffic because we couldn't even get out of the car with cars whizzing past us on both sides. Thank god or we could've been involved in a multiple car crash and one of us could have gotten hurt. This happened on 07/13/18. I paid about $600 to replace the alternator and fix something in the cooling system. Now it is only a month later, 08/15/18, and it's done it again. It stalled in the middle of a construction zone driving 35mph while taking my child to school causing traffic to back up. The cars were driving through the construction cones/signs to our right illegally or they were driving down the shared turn lane on our left to get around me. About 200 cars drove past us without bothering to offer help and even after calling 911 for help, it took them almost an hour to show up and once again had to push us off the road to safety. This is creating a huge safety concern. I saw recall 09v169000 for similar or same issue for my model/year but when i look up my vin it says i have no recalls. I had spent almost $1300 about 3-4 yrs ago to fix this very same "stalling while driving" issue and thought i was past all this. Now i'm back to square 1 and issue still exists! why is thisnissan murano flaw not covered for all murano's with this problem? pease research my vin# and see if it can be included in the recall before one of us gets seriously hurt?

Takara recall : while the car is in motion the engine will shut off at random. When the engine shuts off the car is pulled along the side of the road, and will start again. This has happened on multiple, almost causing serious crashes.
I was driving down the city road and it just felt like the car shut off and no longer got gas almost like an alternator would do i could put it in park and there would still be power you could hear the engine again i would put it back in drive or even tried a low gear no gears was making my car move but it would make sound in parkthe battery light and brake light then came on and my car died shortly after completely already workwhile studying your recalls i noticed the make and model of my car had certain recalls with the alternator of faulty wire in it when i try to report this they told me it was the wrong batch but it's funny my car is doing the same thing do to my car doing this you can no longer move your vehicle so it is dangerous it stops you right in the middle of the road you cannot gas it to go your website mentions a failsafe mode that it may have fell into

My car just stopped working in the middle of the traffic and would not go forward or backward. I got it towed to good year - my car had catastrophic transmission failure. Was diagnosed at goodyear and they called nissan to see about the parts and found out that it was covered by manufacture warranty - so i had it towed on a flat bed truck to nissan in denver.goodyear had drained the fluids to take it apart during diagnosis and sent the parts and the car on the tow truck to the go nissan shop.they found a number of other problems with the car at the nissan shop which they said were not covered - such as- cam shaft sensors,drive belts,head gasket.i agreed to pay for those items and to get my transmission replaced for free under the warranty.they said it would take three to five days to get the transmissionfrom the factory.i get a call today from go nissan on june 19th about a week after they agreed to fix it and they now say that there seems to have been some purple fluid in the transmission and now they wont replace it or cover it in any way.that makes no sense to me because it was delivered there with no fluid in the transmission at all.they said, ya, well.. We saw some purple substance in the cup with the parts that were delivered and we will not cover it because of that contamination...im at my witts end here, they want $4000.00 for the transmission and another $2,500.00 for the rest of the work.i don't know what to do. I feel like they took advantage of me and are now trying to get out of the warranty. Thanks for your help.
My vehicle caught fire as i proceeded to pull away from a curbside parking space. I turned my wheel to the far left as i proceeded away from the curb and that is when i heard a pop sound, saw white smoke spewing from the front right side of the vehicle, then i saw the flames.five days prior to the incident, i had front brake pads and resurfaced rotors placed on the vehicle.within the past 30 days the only other maintenance performed on the vehicle was a standard oil change.
The heat does not come on, even after the engine temperature has reached full operational temperature.
Coolant was leaking on driveway, found that the tensioner bracket is cracked and is rubbing up against a coolant hose, causing a breach in hose and leakage.the dealership is quoting me over $500 to replace the tensioner bracket and associated pulley and "screw".i called nissan corporate asking them to either fix for free or discount the service.they said its not their responsibility.i see alot of this exact component failure reported online, i hope nissan ponies up someday.
Nissan murano 2005 - loose motor support.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.while driving 25 mph, the engine misfired and the vehicle shut off.the dealer inspected the vehicle five times and stated that the failure was caused by the sensor, throttle intake hose, motor mounts, and the air filter.the components were replaced, however, the failure recurred.the failure mileage was 6,378 and current mileage was 22,000.
2005 nissan murano taken in to nissan of gastonia on 4/27/10 to have the air intake recall corrected.mileage is about 52,000 miles.on 4/29/10, my check engine light came on and immediately had trouble with delayed starting.code p0345 camshaft position sensor a bank 2 circuit malfunction. Called dealership and made appointment for their next available date 5/4/10 and took it in to be looked at.service manager felt quite certain that they had left something unplugged.he came back to me 1 hour later to advise that i needed a new camshaft position sensor.it cost me $247 to replace the sensor.too many issues with this sensor on line on nissan recalls for this not to be a safety concern on the 05 muranos' too.
I was going around the vehicle in front of me and i heard a lock snapping sound.i was informed it was the transfer case.luckily i was only traveling 5 mph when the transfer case broke.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.since april of 2009, the vehicle has been losing power while driving 55 mph.the speed has decreased to 5 mph on three occasions.the vehicle was taken to the dealer three times, but they could not diagnose the failure with the computer system/engine.the contact is concerned that a crash could occur.the failure mileage was 38,000.
All of my locks no longer work.i have seen countless complaints about this very issue and nothing is getting done about it.i thought nissan was suppose to be one of the best out there.i'll never buy another nissan again if they continue not to assist their customers.i also have the air intake issue, thankfully that was recalled and will be fixed.i had to replace the front struts, oil cooler gasket, front sway bar links and the battery has been changed 3 times now.very disappointed with nissan and so embarrassed to even talk about the issues with this car.:(
Lifter link assembly broke on my 2005 nissan murano. Took the car in for servicing and when i picked it up the seat was broken. The dealership fixed it because it was covered under my extended warranty. Still had to pay the $50.00 deductible, because there was no recall. I understand that i am not the only one who has experienced this problem.
Our car is starting the surging thing and acts like it is going to turn off then zooms off. I never realized the cvt cause so many people issues. The cowards at nissan not stepping forward are going to realize real quick they should have been loyal to their customers! i along with a lot of other folks will not be going back to nissan!
I own a 2005 nissan murano.the first time it the engine failed was on my way home from work.i started the car and it shuttered a little, then stopped.i restarted the car after waiting a few seconds and it kept running just fine.on my way home, i stopped off at a local store to run an errand.when i attempted to start my car again, it shuttered and shook, then shut off.i attempted a second time to start the car, but it wouldn't "turn over".the car was towed to browns nissan of arlington in virginia, where we bought the vehicle 2 years ago.they could not get the car started either, proceeded to push the car into the garage, and then miraculously, it started up as if nothing was wrong!this morning, my husband went to start the car for me because it was cold and the engine failed again.we plan to call the dealership, as they have promised to incur any towing costs in order to get the car into the shop.regardless, we are taking it back, even if we can get it to start.

While on a major road with for our family vacation, our murano experienced a component failure.specifically, our road trip originated from central new jersey with several destinations scheduled for several central and southern florida locations.all was normal until our journey from miami to debary, fl where slight indicators of a malfunction began to manifest itself.while cruising on interstate 95 between west palm beach and titusville, the cruise control spontaneously disengaged.after several attempts to re-engage the system yielded the same results, i initially determined that there may be an inherent difference in the murano's cruise control system versus other cars i've driven/owned and decided that i would look into it at a later time.later in this same trip (specifically between titusville and sanford florida), i was on a desolate road (route 46) when the murano's 'service engine' light illuminated and it seem to be stuck in 2nd gear.note: the murano has a belt driven cvt and not a conventional gear box; nevertheless, this was the manner in which the problem can be characterized.making matters worst was the fact that it was 12:30am and route 46 is sparsely traveled, with no signs of "civilization". (not meant to melodramatic.)fortunately, i was still able to drive the murano (at no greater than 40mph @ 4,000rpm) to our intended destination.on the following morning, i brought my murano to deland nissan where the service department promptly determined that the throttle body malfunctioned and needed to be replaced accordingly.fortunately, the part was in stock and replaced under warranty in less than 2 hours.(note: the service department at deland nissan was simply the best service department i've ever encountered, in terms of response time, professionalism and customer communication; i wish my home dealer service department was likewise.)the remainder of our vacation and return trip occurred without further incident.
2005 nissan murano - 66k miles. Alternator tension arm snapped off while driving, also causing a crack in the timing cover. There had been a squeaking noise in the days leading up the failure. Once the arm broke there was a very loud clunking noise. I was forced to pull over on the side of the road and wait for a tow. The tension arm, bracket, belts and timing cover need to be replaced. Because the timing covers placement, it will require pulling the engine out.
The air bag indicator light is flashing in the dash again. I had this problem fixed once before while still under warranty at the north little rock dealership. On leaving the garage within just a mile, i made a left turn and heard a crunching noise in the steering column and it came back on. I went strait back and they said they would fix it but the (second replacement part) wouldn't be in till the next day so i was given a loaner for one day.now it's back on again.also noted shortly after the warranty expired that the lumbar support on the drivers side no longer inflates/deflates and hasn't worked since. I have had all recalls fixed and had to replace the battery at 37,000 miles at my cost. Also had to have the dealership resurface both front rotors and replace a rear caliper under warranty that had locked up 1 & 1/2 years ago. I see that the front rotors are in need of resurfacing again even though the break pads have 1/2 of there wear left to go. Due to the highly chromed /curved dipstick, getting an accurate oil level reading is not possible at any time, so the dipstick has only been removed three time since purchasing it as it is a pointless endeavor. I own six autos that range in age from 1972 threw this 2005 murano and of all of them, the murano is the least trusted one. I will never own another nissan.
My 2005 nissan murano has an engine that "pings" even when using 91 octane fuel.this can lead to engine wear and damage.nissan is aware of the problem, but at this time, they are choosing not to correct it in any of the murano vehicles that have this problem.the problem is a constant "ping" upon acceleration, most noticeable between 10 and 30 miles per hour, or at higher speeds when attempting to quickly increase speed.
The current description has to do with mechanical defects:i leased a brand new 2005 nissan murano in april 2005,and in august of that year the car had major mechanical malfunctions that included: abs light came on , internal failure of abs actuator, and right front abs sensor, engine probelms with loss of power, and acceleration . Nono current through pin connectors.had to replace ecm.engine light came on , internal failure to throttle body,all wheel drive light came on.they replaced the alternator, i also had internal failure of a/c amplifier.my car was in the shop from 8/5/05 - 9/13/05 a total of 39 days!i called nissan about complying with the lemon law and to now they have declined to cooperate.i am currently seeking legal representation in this matter.
2005 nissan murano with 56,735 miles began making a noise at acceleration.brought car to the nissan dealer and was told that a new pulley asm and bracket-id was needed. I was told that the bracket failed causing the pulley asm to go bad.while replacing the pulley and bracket, i requested the fan belt be changed. I was very surprised that the bracket and pulley failed so soon on this vehicle. This was not covered under warranty or recall.
I have amurano where the air intake keeps coming loose and won't stay therefore making the car stall on the interstate while trying to pick up speed. It's been fixed once but it still keeps happening. I can't pull into traffic for the fear the car will cut off.

Our 2005 nissan murano which was under one year warranty at the time of engine problem started the failure by emitting unusual smoke from the muffler and unexplained sudden shaking of the engine when engine is on while the car standing.we drove our nissan murano to the dealer workshop next day.at arrival of the workshop the service mechanic brought his computerized handheld investigator and connected to the engine electrical system which is located just under the steering and started the engine.suddenly there was a huge pile of thick black smoke rising from the both muffler outlets.from that point our nissan murano was admitted for investigation ( since end of august 2006 ).the dealer refused to recognize warranty period and insisted that any repair to be made at our expense.after all possible effort to convince the nissan dealer here in dubai to stick with the warranty period, finally we had no choice but to go repair of our nissan murano at our own expense.i include here the estimated costs and details of parts that needed to replaced.our nissan murano is still in the dealer workshop and no news from them yet.
Drivers seat rocks to the left. Was informed by jim mills nissan that the seat track was bad, $716 to replace. Not covered under extended warranty. This was on aug.22, 2007. Filed a complaint with nissan. Now were having problems with drivers side sunvisor falling down while your driving and passenger door lock not securing all the way. The lock mechanism will go part of the way and stop. All of the items above are safety issues that need to be addressed by nissan. Yes, i purchased the extended warranty.
At about 60,000 miles on this car the headlight covers turned white, very low visibility. I avoided driving at night. Nissan would not replace. The replacement parts was over $600.00 crazy! not impressed by this $30,000 car.
Headlight lamp case leaks causing water to seep in and cause potential shortage of lamps. This can be serious when driving at night.

The led tail lights on the nissan murano strobe at a very high frequency. My visual acuity sees this strobe effect as trails of light from the tail lights. This is particularly dangerous when seen at a distance at the light trails obscure other objects.

I've been having problems with this car every month since i bought it in 2011 from arrow motors inc, 2225 wakeling st phila pa 19137. The never disclose to me of the issues. If they ran a car fax i would have know. It wasn't until recently when i attempted to sell the car and was informed through car fax that it was in 5 accidents. If i had known this i would have never bought the car. This is completely unjust.
Transmission suddenly seized and vehicle would not move, even when being pushed in neutral.luckily it was in my parking lot but if this had happened in traffic or on the highway it could have been a dangerous and potentially deadly situation.

2005 nissan murano. Consumer states issues related to the seat damage and other problems with vehicle *tgwthe consumer stated when her vehicle was returned to her the seat was broken.the dealership claimed they didn't damage the seat and that a seat weld was broken. The dealership implied that maybe the consumers husband broke the seat due to his size when he exited the vehicle when he dropped it off.the consumer also stated she was charged for recall work relating to the gas tank assembly.
Consumer dissatisfied with the safety of the nissan murano. ***nar***the consumer received a recall 06v054000 which referenced the fuel tank.the recall indicated that a fitting for vapor recirculation, which is welded on the fuel tank, may come off the fuel tank because incorrect material was used.the dealer did not have the part to perform the recall repair.
While traveling south bound on hwy 95 needles california in a 35 mph zone apiece of debris (possibly vehicle fender molding strip) struck the gas tank of our 2005 nissan murano causing the tank to rupture. The vehicle was towed to copper canyon nissan (lake havasue az) where the tank will be replaced.the cost for replacement will exceed $750.00, not including loss of fuel. My wife who was driving at the time is nine months pregnant and upon parking the vehicle at her work location was informed of the leak. The possible hazards with this are tremendous. The fire department was notified so they could place quick spill clean up due to the fuel leaking on, and running down the street. The tanks rupture was catastrophic causing the fuel leak to be excessive and from multiple holes. The tow truck operator increased the hole to release the rest of the fuel for transportation. He (tow driver) stated that the rupture was significant and dangerous. The service department was notified of the nhtsa finding and statement on 9-21-05 (re: opening investigation into murano tank leaks from road debris) at which time they stated they were unaware of such a problem but would contact nissan. I will also be following up a complaint to nissan about this possible hazard.
Regarding the nhtsa investigation of a problem with the fuel tank of the nissan murano where the fuel tank is susceptible to punctures from road debris during normal driving conditions.i had the exact same problem. On aug 27th, 2005 while driving from florida to toronto on highway i-95 a piece of debris on the road hit a lower corner of the gas tank of my 2005 nissan murano, making a crack in that spot. I noticed the gas level dropping fast and pulled over 2 to 3 miles ahead at exit 53, walterboro, sc and verified the gas tank was punctured. I called the nissan roadside service, they advised to call the local police to get a report and the fire department to ensure the car was safe for towing. Nobody was injured.the car was taken to a dealership in orangeburg, sc the next monday where they ordered a tank. I called nissan consumer affairs, explained everything, they opened a case to help speed up the shipment of the tank. They have a record of the problem. The car was ready on aug 31st, 2005. I have a claim number from nissan roadside service. Another interesting thing is that when i got the car brand new from the dealership, a month before the previous incident, on july 23rd, 2005, it had a leak in the gas tank. It started with a smell of gas and the "service engine soon" indicator lit at all the times. That happened within a day of getting the car. The dealership replaced the tank, the smell was gone, but not the problem with the "service engine soon" indicator. After a number of emission tests they also replaced a valve in the exhaust conduct that runs from the gas tank to the car exhaust. After that the indicator came back on, so they replaced the car computer. This time the problem was resolved, or at least it has not happened again.it's fair to say the dealership service people were very helpful and notified nissan right away to get them involve since the start.
Today while out of town we were attempting to refill our 2005 nissan murano. After i had got beyond the half full point someone at the gas station pointed out that there was something leaking from our vehicle. After closer inspection by myself and then a mechanic at the service station it was noted to have a hole in the gas tank. I am unsure what caused this hole to occur being that we never heard anything actually hit the vehicle. Not only did this put a damper on our weekend getaway but we also found out how little coverage the extended warranty provided to us, which was a shock since we were very pressured into buying this extended warranty and were told that the vehicle would be covered and also that we would have 24 hour roadside assistance. After contacting the nissan 24hr roadside assistance we learned that we had no coverage.

Incident: 2005 nissan murano purchased on july 5, 2005 from collins nissan in indianapolis, indiana.vehicle id # [xxx] i was driving west on interstate 86 through ny state on the morning of august 1, 2005 .a few miles westof corning, ny i noticed the smell of gas. Stopped at a rest area and noticed gas leaking on the parking lot. I proceeded to jamestown, ny (50 miles) to take the car to the closest nissan dealer..signature nissan716 664 0175discoveredthat something had gone through the gas tank and i would need to replace it.he showed me how the gas tank drops down and has a smooth unprotectedsurface facing forward where (what ever it was that hit the tank) went through the plastic surface. I delivered the damaged gas tank to collins nissan and it is being held at there service department for further inspection...for over 50 years of driving , i have never had anything like this happen to me while driving many makes of cars.i am concerned about the way the tank hangs down, has a vulnerable surface,and is not protected from road hazards....the leaking gas could have caused much biggerproblems.i am concerned that this could happen again with much worse results.

2005 nissan murano experienced problems with the gas tank.*mrthe consumers wife was driving the vehicle when all of a sudden she heard a clunk under the vehicle.when she arrived at her destination, she discovered smelled gas and saw that the gas was pouring from the gas tank forming a pool under and around the vehicle.the vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was discovered that the gas tank had a gaping 2-3 inch hole in it. The consumer was concerned that the material used in the manufacturing of the gas tank was either defective or improper for the use in intended.
Gasoline tank punctured while driving normal highway speeds - by debris in the road.both gasoline and radiator fluid spilled from my car.
I bought a new 2005 nissan murano on 8/8/05.on 10/31/05, i hit debris on i-95.it punctured my fuel tank and gasoline leaked from it.i had to call the fire department to dispose the gasoline.i filed a complain with nissan corporation.they refused to compensate me for the damage.i had to pay for the replacement of a new fuel tank myself.
Strange rust around ring of gas tank.the rust is in the area where you put gas into.nissan does not cover this under the 5 year rust warranty!
Thecadillac converters are junk and you guys oughta be ashamed of yourself for not recall and i'm on all the ones that they've all had problems with because there's been several and it's not a cheap fix just had one fix now the other 2 went out and i haven't even had the vehicle 30 days.
Air intake hose becomes lose causing car to stall in traffic and stop. Frequent jumpstarts necessary when it becomes loose.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that during routine maintenance with an independent mechanic, it was discovered that the fuel tank was leaking due to a failed seal. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 06v054000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 211,000.
Vehicle shutdown while driving in the middle of the road while using a new battery. Fuel pump not reading fuel tank. Vehicle stalls specially wheneveracceleration starts after stopping.
Several times while driving on city streets the car would shut down completely, with no warning hadto get towed. While in drive-through car shut down but a delay then restarted. Bought new battery, alternator and got a tune-up. Currently the car will not go in backwards.
Fuel line sputters, car lurches forward or completely stops.
Got service engine soon error code on monitor with temporary loss of power on the road on 2005 nissan murano (54000 miles). Looking at internet i found that this is consistent problem for this car just like other nissan cars of this period (xterra, pathfinder). This isrelated to fuel sensor error with p0463 code which isunusual for any cars. Estimated cost of repair is about $600 to $ 800. I think nissan should recall or at least partially compensate owners. I was also asked to replace power steering high pressure hose a few years ago that costs about $ 1000/=. All these are safety issues as it can stop car on road at any time. I request and encourage others to inform nhtsa and nissan if such problem arises.
In march 2013, a nissan dealership replaced the fuel sensors and a related amplifier because the "service engine soon" went on and the diagnostic codes specified a fuel sensor problem (i paid between $1000-1500).about a year later, the fuel sensor light went on again, the fuel gauge intermittently shows empty even when the tank is more than one-half full, and the "miles to empty" gauge periodically goes to zero and then rebounds to the substantial number of miles left. The nissan dealer states that the diagnostic code shows a problem in a "past cycle" and they do not have an onboard diagnostic tool.i'm unsure what's going to happen next -- but it sounds to me like there should have been a recall (other nissan models had recalls because of fuel sensor problems).
Fuel sensor says car is on empty but will never fill up past 1/2 tank. Alternator is out now & bad vibration when driving between 60-70mph so could possibly be u joint considering everything else has been done that would correct a vibration
The automatic door locks on my 2005 nissan murano have failed.this is a safety issue because i cannot lock nor unlock all my doors with a touch of a button.additionally, the key fob does not work to allow me to unlock drivers door so if threatened i would be unable to get in/ get out of auto quickly. Likewise the powerlock does not allow me to lock all doors.also the rear hatch doesn't work reliablydue to the problem with the locking mechanism and the auto locks are the only way to open hatch.should auto get a flat there would be no access to the spare.this is not only a convenience issue but a real safety issue- in the instance of a carjacking or to escape to the safety of my car.i cannot even contemplate all the scenarios which make this a safety issue however it clearly is.
Driver's door lock does not work reliably.it will work using the key manually.the other locks appear to be working properly at this time.this problemhas caused by car and belongings to be unsecured and poses a safety concern.
The 2005 nissan murano we own was purchased used. Since we have had it (almost a year) there have been electrical problems that have mainly affected the door locks. It has come to our attention that these problems have affected many other nissan murano owners. Because of this issue, we cannot use the unlock the doors using the remote and further, the doors do not unlock using the unlock switch inside the vehicle. One of the main safety concerns is that of late i have not been able to open the driver door on a regular basis because the lock has malfunctioned and have had to exit the vehicle from other doors. I have fibromyalgia and the extra exertion to try to leave the car is both unwanted and painful. In case of an accident or some other event where the driver's door would be the only choice of escape it is extremely possible that i would be locked in the car and unable to get out because of the locks. The dealership has continually refused to accept responsibility for the electrical problem even though they acknowledge that it occurs in many of the murano model cars and want to charge well over $1000 to fix the door locks. We are still trying to find a more affordable and reasonable solution to the problem but have been unsuccessful thus far. I am often unwilling to drive the car out of fear for my safety and will sometimes drive my husband's car instead, inconveniencing him.
Electronic door lock on the driver side would sporadically unlock or lock door...now is all the time and must be locked manually.this is a safety hazard when trying enter the vehicle in an un secure environment or can result in stolen merchandise or parts left in the vehicle. Driver side sun visor also well not stay in upright position and drops suddenly blocking the view of the driver.
Since spring 2009, our 2005 nissan murano passenger door lock has been failing to open when using either the remote key fob or the driver door lock. Also rear hatch has been similarly failing to unlock/lock.situation has progressed from 20-30% of the time to 90% of the time failing to function.
I'm having problems with the electric door locks on 2005 nissan murano. Three locks sometimes work,but most of the time they don't. I'm concerned that if there is an emergency someone is going to get hurt because the lock will not work. I understand that a lot of people are having the same problem and nissan will not take responsibility for the problem.
Front door locks don't work with remote or proximity fob.
2005 nissan murano - mechanisms controlling the doors do not function properly.i cannot even open the door manually, it does not work.the trunk is also broken, i cannot open this either.this is definitely a safety issue.if i have a flat tire, i cannot get to the spare tire because i cannot open the trunk.my brother has the same car and model/year, his car locks has the same problem.my coworker has a 2004 and her locks does not work either.i was informed by my mechanic that nissan knows about this but will not address the issue.often times, the door failures happen after the warranty expires; therefore the owners have to pay out of pocket for the expenses.
Has faulty electronic locks. Viewed as a safety issue as it prevents the ability to get in and/or out in a quick and efficient manner should there be an emergency. The door will not unlock/lock using the electronic devices or buttons and in order to unlock the door you have to open another door and reach over and manually unlock. I have significant concerns related to my and my family's safety in the vehicle. After research it appears that this problem is common and nissan is not taking any responsibility to replace or repair causing significant (up to $1600) financial cost to the owner.
1. There were no events that lead upto the failure of the locking mechanism.2. The failure started automatically. There is a problem in the locking actuator. The lock switch does not lock the door even though the switch is pressed and the locking sound is heard. This makes personal safety a big concern. If the door is unlocked when the locking switch is pressed, it can still be opened from the outside. In environments when personal safety is of strong concern, there should be some sense of feeling secured within the car when the door is "locked." someone could be hurt, robbed, carjacked, or even murdered because of a simple locking mechanism failure. This failure is all around with many cars having all 4 door locks fail at once across all nissan car/suv/truck models. The replacement cost for 4 actuators from the nissan dealership is $1600. This is a safety concern and a recall should be made for all nissan muranos.
About 8 months ago i started experiencing door lock problems. First the front passenger door worked intermittently. Now the driver door and rear gate work about 5% of the time, if that.i believe this is a safety issue. When i first contacted the dealer they indicated that it was not covered by the warranty and that i may need the actuators replaced for each affected door. Needless to say, the work estimate was unacceptable to me (car had already exceeded 75,000 miles).
2005 nissan murano door locks do not work with key fob or door button.
I have a 2005 nissan murano, purchased in 2005.recently i have been having problems with the right front passenger door and hatchback not locking or unlocking by use of the fob.the right front passenger door does not have a key lock and apparently when this door lock motor is not locking or unlocking, neither is the rear hatch.i believe that this is a safety issue and nhtsa should fource nissan to recall all their vehicles with this problem for replacement w/o cost to the consumer.having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods.when locking the doors it is imperative no one should have access to the vehicle. If anyone can simply open the door to bain access, carjacking, injury or even an assault if much easier for the perpertrators.if the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment and eliminates some of these terrifying scenarios.nissan, knowing there is a security and possibly safety problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling these vehicles for consumer protection and safety, is negligent. Their action will open the door to a class action lawsuit should someone be murdered, robbed, raped or assaulted due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the apparent locking sound. Remember, in this case there are no obvious indications the door isn't locked, when it reality isan "open door" with the occupants easy targets.this failure is an intermittent of operation. Sometimes the doors lock and other times they don't.in emergencies it is important to be able to unlock doors immediately.during a crisis situation the driver and passengers use the door rocker button to unlock the doors, the locking/unlocking solenoid or actuator malfunctioning is clearly a high risk in emergencies.nissan's usual quote of $1600.00 to repair and replace all the door lock and actuators is ridiculous, and should be a recall item.
Vehicle locking mechanisms do not function properly. I purchased my murano brand new and even then it had a problem with the gas tank cover operation. It would work backwards: when you lock the vehicle it would open and vice versa. Then the back locks stopped functioning in conjunction with the key fob and the driver's control. Later it became an intermittent problem. Now both of the rear door locks can only be controlled manually. The passenger door has started to do the same. I've also been locked out of my trunk. I bought groceries and was unable to open the trunk from the outside and there is no control on the inside to open it either. In order to use the doors and their locks access has to be gained from other doors. If the trunk locks itself it becomes useless as i cannot access it. This is a safety issue in that i need to be able to open and close my trunk if needed. When the problem initially occurred i was unaware as there are no indications. I didn't know until my young son who rides in the back seat could not open the door when i unlocked it. I have had personal items stolen from my vehicle that i assumed was locked using the key fob. Strangers can access vehicles and owners will be unaware. This is a scary thought.
Door lock actuators began to failin our 2005 nissan murano. They stopped responding suddenly and when we thought the car was locked, it was in fact opened, which is a safety issue.it is a very common issue and usually all actuator go out at the same time. We have replaced driver's dooractuator (that cost us $400) and now have to deal with other 3. Hopefully nissan will recognize this as a serious problem and will issue a recall.
Door actuators failed.door locks fail to lock and un-lock. Occurred at various times, using any means available to lock and un-lock the doors: the key fob, interior driver side and passenger side locks button on door, and manual manipulation of the interior door lock(s). The issue is experienced with all 4 door locks and rear hatch.have been unable to get in or lock the vehicle except manual use of key.unfortunately the rear hatch does not have a manual system and therefore can't be locked or opened.safety issue!
Door locks starting with drivers side passenger and now the driver door will not lock or unlock unless manually changed with lever or key. This is a huge safety issue and should be addressedpassenger doors are random however are starting to show similar signsthanks in advance.
The front driver side door lock actuator is malfunctioning.
1. Having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. When locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. If anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. If the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario. 2. Nissan knowing there is a security problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent. It's an open door to a lawsuit if someone were to be murdered due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the locking noise. Remember, in this case there's no obvious indication the door isn't locked unless someone walks up and opens it from the outside. The drive "thinks" the door is locked, when in reality it's an "open door" for carjacking or robbery.this failure is an intermittent of operation. Sometimes the doors lock ok, other times they don't. In addition, sometimes the doors unlock ok, other times they don't. 3. In emergencies it's important to be able to unlock doors quickly. Since 99% of the time we all use the button to lock and unlock doors, using the manual locking lever is unfamiliar. And the murano's design is such that it's not easy to comprehend if it's not your car, for instance a rental car. I can easily understand how some people would be confused how unlock a door using the manual level in an emergency when they virtually have no experience with it. In emergencies every second counts. The locking/unlocking solenoid malfunctioning is clearly a high risk in emergency scenarios. Some people who cannot afford the $1600 to have all the solenoids replaced (as quoted by dealers) will forgo getting them fixed, putting their family members at risk with the above mishap examples. This shouldn't be, nissan should recall them.it's only a matter of time till someone gets robbed, hurt or killed from a malfunctioning door lock.
Three door locks do not work properly on 2005 nissan murano.
2005 nissan murano sl door lock/unlock solenoids become weak and will not lock and unlock the doors. The solenoids are part of the door lock assembly. When the lock solenoids fail, the driver cannot lock the doors from the drivers seat thus introducing the possibility of "car jacking" or assault.

All 5 of the door locks on my 2005 nissan murano have failed within the last year. I replaced the driver's door lock actuator assembly when the lock would not lock or unlock with the key fob or button on the door. Since then all of the other door locks, including the lift gate, have experienced the same problem. This is a safety issue. In the event of an emergency, such as a fire, i would not be able to unlock all the doors so passengers could escape. If i were being stalked, i would not be able to lock all the doors quickly. The door lock problem that i have described is being experienced by 2004 - 2010 nissan murano and maxima owners around the country. Nissan needs to recall these vehicles and fix them!
I would like to report a safety issue with my 2005 nissan murano. Around june 1, 2010 i started experiencing an intermittent problem with the power door lock on the front passenger door. At this time the power locking actuator has completely stopped working and the door has to be locked or unlocked manually. Failure of the locking mechanism can lead to the door opening at an undesired time causing injury or death to passengers in the vehicle. This is the reason for my report to thenhtsa. After researching the issue on the internet i found this is a common problem with these vehicles. I feel, as do other people i have spoken to regarding this problem that nissan should be held responsible for repair of the issue if in fact it is a common problem due to a parts defect. I am having the inoperative lock replaced but have found out in many instances all the doors at one time experience this problem.
2005 nissan murano has faulty electronic locks.viewed as a safety issue as it prevents the ability to get in and/or out in a quick and efficient manner should there be an emergency.the door will not unlock/lock using the electronic devices or buttons and in order to unlock the door you have to open another door and reach over and manually unlock.i have significant concerns related to my and my family's safety in the vehicle.after research it appears that this problem is common and nissan is not taking any responsibility to replace or repair causing significant (up to $1600) finacial cost to the owner.
The front drivers door failed.. More specifically, when the lock system is activated electronically, the doors typically fail to completely lock or unlock completely. Visually, the inside lock 'button' only moves partway. There is reason to believe this affects many owners of nissan and infinity vehicles. Some suspect actuator problems and others suspect relay problems. There is an investigation into a class action law suit and there's petitions. The manufacturer doesn't want to claim responsibility and this problem is affecting thousands of owners. This problem has safety implication and can create potentially life threatening situations. I advice that this problem be taken seriously and make the manufacturers accountable for these defects.thank you
Failure of one or more door locks to respond to electric lock button or intelligent key.intermittent at first, but then two doors finally ceased responding.replacement of actuator required.research conducted online indicates that malfunction of doorlocks within the first 5 years of a nissan vehicle's life is common.in addition, it was discovered that a local dealership maintains an inventory of replacement actuators for altimas.fortunately i haven't required immediate response of the door locks to protect my family in an emergency, however, it is not out of the realm of possibilities.therefore, i have been replacing actuators in each door as they fail.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the rear passenger side door would not unlock from the inside or outside with a key. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000.
We have a 2005 nissan murano that has had the door lock actuators fail repeatedly since we've owned the car.when the locks fail, the doors and rear hatch can not be opened or locked with either the remote fob or the electric controls on the doors.they need to be opened manually by releasing the locking lever by hand.often when they fail the rear hatch can not be opened because there is not a manual releasethis is extremely dangerous and is a known problem with this style of door lock actuator.nissan is aware of this issue and has deemed the repair out of warranty even though this problem has occurred while under warranty and ever since.the individual actuator for each door approaches $500 in cost.they've advised to not have this problem, buy a new vehicle which is not acceptable.there are numerous instances of internet complaints on this issue.general motors ignored their problems for years and nissan is effectively ignoring this problem.the design of the lock actuator itself is defective and needs to be replaced with a better designed component.
I have a nissan murano 2005.three of my doors have been diagnosed by a nissan service center to have broken actuators.these doors don't lock by any means other then manually pushing the lock to the close position.i have opened a "file" with nissan but they have stated they will not provide any assistance.i find this to be a safety hazard.i can understand one going bad but three means there is a deeper issue.please let me know what else i can do?thanks.
The electronic door locks on my vehicle have stop working.i replaced the driver's door lock which failed first, but since then the other door locks have stopped working.i have 2 very young children and i must manually unlock the doors from the inside of the vehicle cabin.i shudder to think what would happen if i or someone else had to get them out in an emergency and we could not get the doors to unlock.
2005 nissan murano power lock problems.3 out of the 4 locks have failed.they only work about 50% of the time causing safety concerns for passengers in the car.
Door locks problem.when i lock the doors with my control or from the inside, they don't lock or unlock.same with the trunk, i cannot open my trunk because the system doesn't work.i contacted dealer and they told me i have to replace locks (all 5) for more than $1500.00i also see this issue is common in all nissan in different years.a recalled should be called since this is a security issue with the car.thanks
Driver side exterior door handle came completely out of the door when i tried to open it one day. Nissan dealerships want up to $400 to fix this problem but they can't tell me how its actually broken without taking the door panel off. I don't know if a bolt or fastener came loose or if there is an actual break...nonetheless i have to stick my fingers inside where the handle used to be and pull a tiny lever to open the door.
All the actuator motors on our 2005 nissan murano suspiciously went bad at the same time. The car is much easier to gain entry to from a possible third party. In both our neighborhood and neighborhoods we may park the vehicle, there have been many break-ins. If the doors are not easy to lock, a potentially hostile party could gain entry to the vehicle with the driver in it and cause bodily injury if not death. While the door locking mechanism failure is intermittent, inability to have constant reliance on the door locks is dangerous in case of an emergency. The nissan dealership quoted us upwards of $1,600 to fix this hazardous situation and we frankly cannot afford that even though it is a matter of safety. Nissan needs to cover this issue because as i have seen, it is not limited to our vehicle, but countless other nissan muranos.
1. Doorlocks not operating properly.2. Occurrence intermittent; safety consequence, doors are unlocked.3. Dealer replaced 2 actuators at a cost of $1,000.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the front passenger door and the trunk doors could not be opened when engaged. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer fordiagnosis or repairs.the failure and current mileages were 69,000. Updated 10/17/12updated 10/24/2012
Electric door lock actuator stopped working at 45k miles. Driver side. Manual unlocking lever is very difficult to use. A child or weak adult may become trapped in vehicle if unable to to operate manual lever.other owners complaining of same issue: http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=334230&postid=5469139no repairs completed yet.
2005 nissan murano door lock actuators have gone bad.i have googled this on line and have found nearly every owner has had electrical problems with this vehicle - this being one of the number one issues.however, nissan refuses to issue a recall and fix this problem.what is it going to take?how many people have to have this problem before they realize that it is something they did wrong in the manufacturing of this vehicle?am i really going to have to pay $1600 to repair this on a 6 year old car?not good customer service nissan!!!
My 2005 nissan murano locks to all four doors, trunk and gas tank malfunction frequently.i have been stranded with no gas because i have been unable to unlock the gas tank for a period of time.there is no "key" opening for the gas tank, hatch in the back or 3 passenger doors-only the driver's side door.i have already had the actuators replaced once on both sides of the car a couple of years ago and now they are broken again.this is a safety concern because we can not be sure the doors are locked, can not obtain gas, can not access the trunk area, or unlock passenger doors on frequent basis.sometimes, they work and sometimes they don't.the cost to replace the actuators is around $1600.that is a significant amount of money to burden the owner of the vehicle when clearly there is a defect in the car.there are so many murano owners with the same problem.nissan needs to recall and replace the actuators for the lifetime of the car.this is a significant safety issue!
All the door locks on my '05 nissan murano don't work properly.the passenger doors have to be locked manually.the lift gate lock works intermittently.this has been going on for over a year.
I am having the problem on my 05 nissan murano, the passenger front door does not lock or unlock with the remote. This is big safety issue. Yesterday my gas door failed on me ones.
Our driver and left rear passenger door actuator randomly does not work.it will not unlock with the intelligent key, nor the key fob, nor if we push the unlock button - we have to manually unlock it at times. We believe this to be a safety issue and are requesting a recall to fix this problem.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while parked, the driver attempted to open the front passenger door using the electronic door lock but the door would not open. The door would only open manually. The contact replaced the battery on the key fob, but the failure continued. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact believed that the actuator would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000. Updated 07/12/12*ljthe door actuator was replaced on june 29, 2012. Updated 07/12/12
Three of the door actuators that control the automatic locks on my 2005 nissan murano are not working. One of them has been broken for a year, the other two just went. This is a safety issue, and judging from how many other people have this problem with the same car, nissan should provide replacements for these. If i do it myself it will cost well over $1,000, and there's no telling when the other two locks will go. Right now, the two door locks that are broken have to be opened from inside manually. The back tailgate cannot open at all, as the actuator is the only way i know of being able to unlock it.
Door locks on 2005 nissan murano don't always open. This is a safety issue in case of emergency that you have to get out the car. *ln
2005 nissan murano:four of six lock actuators are failing simultaneously - the passenger front door, both rear doors and the rear cargo hatch.failure were intermittent until 5/9/10 when all failed completely at the same time.you can press the lock/unlock switch and the doors will audibly appear to lock.however, they may or may not have presenting a security hazard - car jacking, stolen property, etc.nissan has told many of us owners the problem can be fixed by replacing all the actuators at a cost of $1,600+.i find this unacceptable.there are just too many stories of this same failure in muranos and other nissan models that it is simply normal wear and tear.
Door lock fails to open or close electronically.
My murano power door actuators in passenger front door and trunk malfunctioned during warranty period and needed to replace. After warranty three remaining door actuators are having constant problems not locking / unlocking.nissan knowing there is a security problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent.

05 nissan murano sldriver door and passenger door and rear hatch locks not working with remote or key. This is unsafe !!!!!! and is becoming ever prevalent with many murano owners. Please insist nissan recall these issues as these problems are too identical with individuals across the country for nissan to not know the problem.

In mid jan, 2013 i noticed that after locking with the key fob, the front door remained unlocked, and would not lock from inside the car with either the individual lock control or the whole car lock control. The only way to lock the door is with your key, from the outside. In the event of an accident you do not have the added safety of a locked drivers door. All other doors are operating correctly at this time. The web seems to be filled with other problems like this and i wonder if they realize the danger they face when all doors are not locked in the event of an accident.
Rear hatch door will not open on my 2005 nissan murano.
'05 nissan murano-the door locks on my '05 nissan murano do not always lock/unlock electronically.sometimes they will lock and sometimes they will not.i have not been able to consistently reproduce the problem but it seems that the door lock actuator is getting weak or something is preventing the proper current from getting to the actuator.it could be a combination of the two problems, sending weak current over time has caused the door actuators to become weak, and as a result magnified the current problem.regardless of what has caused the problem, the fact is, there are multiple people having the issue, and it is not as a result of normal wear and tear.this is a manufacturing or design flaw and therefore should be addressed by nissan.this is one of the most basic functions of the car and it does not perform reliably.i cannot even begin to express the safety issue of thinking that a door is locked when it is not.and if there is a bigger electrical problem, then it most definitely needs to be addressed.
Drivers side door actuator has failed on 2005 murano. You never know whether the door has actually locked or not when locking the vehicle using the remote or exterior electrical door button upon leaving it. If inside the vehicle, and doors are locked using the electrical button on the driver side door, drivers side door may or may not lock. This is a serious safety problem if there is a threat from a person outside the vehicle. It is also leaves the vehicle vulnerable to theft while away from the vehicle. Dealer would not cover under warranty or extended warranty, wants excessive charge to repair.
Driver's side door actuator does not work to open/lock the door anymore.safety issue for my wife's car.online search showed 1000's of nissan owners with the same problem.how this is not a recall i do not know.
2005 nissan murano.front driver side door will not lock or unlock with keyless entry, outside electronic door button, or most importantly, the manual lock inside the car.only way to lock door is with key. So to lock door once in car, must open window, awkwardly insert key into outside door keyhole while inside car, and then twist key.in case of accident or emergency, cannot unlock the front door driver side without using key from the inside, which may be impossible depending on conditions of emergency or accident.according to many hundreds of complaints on internet, dealers want from $500 to $600 to repair even to fix the manual locking process for the door.this amount is prohibitive form manypeople for what should be a simple fix of less than a hundred dollars for at least the manual locking process.the electronic locking system is a luxury item, but the manual locking system is being held hostage by the dealers and in my opinion, presents a huge safety problem.
Lock on driver side door failed and does not lock or unlock properly. Makes this unsafe at night as i work a night job and if the car did not lock properly could be safety issue, also getting into the car as the murano is designed to be keyless, in a hurry to take the key off the key fob is time consuming and in a panic usage. Locks just stopped working after had been working fine. I feel this is a safety issue and nissan should repair free of charge, as many other people have had same issue, i have never heard of so many of same complaints from other car makers.

Approximately may/june of 2009, i was unable to lock and unlock driver's door of my 2005 nissan murano with key fob. When i asked if this could be repaired by landers nissan, southaven, ms, i was told cost of $70 just to look at problem.in may of 2010, i noticed that the problem now includes front passenger door and rear hatch lock.the problem now occurs approximately 80% of time with passenger and hatch; 100% of time with driver's door. I have to place key in lock to lock and unlock driver's door.(no damage or accident to vehicle since purchased new in april 2005).
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The vehicle was parked and the contact stated the front driver and passenger side doors would not lock or unlock. The automatic locks failed to function when entering or exiting the vehicle. The door locks also would not function manually. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the technician stated that the failure was related to the lock actuators. The vehicle had not been repaired when the complaint was filed. The contact had concern about the potential safety hazard. The failure mileage was 72,000. The vin was rejected from the system. Updated 10/05/10. *lj
Driver side door actuator failed and repair parts ordered 8/10/11.it had failed on numerous occasions and completely in august, 2011, and it becomes a safety issue as it prevents access from the drivers side.access has to be made from the passenger side or from the rear door.it costs $431 to repair.
Door locks not functioning properly.will not lock/unlock from fob or interior switch on the interior of the vehicle.this is a safety concern because in the event of a crash you may not be able to unlock the doors to exit the vehicle or it may prevent emergency medical personnel to easily gain access to the vehicle.it is also a concern because it can potentially leave the vehicle vulnerable to potential theft of items in the interior of the vehicle since they don't reliably lock.
Four out of five of the door locks on my 2005 nissan murano do not work and the drivers side sun visor falls down everytime the car moves.both are serious safety issues.
The passenger door does not lock or unlock consistently.
I have had intermittent problems opening the front driver side door with the keyless remote for 2 1/2 years and recently it has become a problem 99% of the time.about a month ago i discovered one of my rear doors was unlocked when it should not have been.yesterday when a passenger tried to get in the backdoor on the opposite side it would not unlock even when using the interior button.i'm sure it's only a matter of time before the only properly functioning door stops working and the gas cap will no longer open.how do you open the gas cap with a faulty locking mechanism??is there a way to open it manually??there is also a question of safety if doors cannot be locked and unlocked with the interior lock button....risk of car jacking, theft.emergency personnel could not gain quick access in the event of an accident or fire or submersion when every second counts, especially involving infants and small children in car seats (or elderly) who can't or don't know how to manually unlock the door. Lives are at risk!the cost to repair one door is astronomical let alone having to repair three or all four.this is a widespread nissan defect that they refuse to acknowledge and repair.i have always been a big nissan fan and this is the third nissan i have owned.i will not buy another one if they don't step up and fix this problem.we owners of these vehicles are reminded daily of the safety issues every single time we enter and exit our cars and have to manually check each door to make sure they are all locked.a recall needs to be issued.this is a safety concern.
Door locks on my 2005 nissan murano quit working through key fob, drivers side and passenger side doors.only way to unlock is to put key into driver side door and then manually unlock all others, to include rear hatch.started with front passenger door and then made its way around the car one door at a time.took car to nissan dealership and they told me it would cost hundreds of dollars just to diagnose the problem so i didn't pursue.wanting nissan to fix because apparently this is a common occurrence. Thank you for your time.
Driver side door lock is difficult to lock and unlock by hand.the automatic key fob is unable to be used, also. This occurs every day, and i am concerned if there is a crash the driver will be trapped.i am fearful also of driving with my car door unlocked.updated 11/16/10
All 4 door locks does not work with the remote control or from the door switch.doors doesn't lock or unlock nissan murano 2005.
I own a 2005 nissan murano se awd and have experienced progressive problems with my door lock actuators resulting in an unsafe vehicle presumed to be secure.at approximately 50k miles, the right front passenger door lock became intermittently inoperative when using either the interior door lock switch or the intelligent key fob button.then, at approximately 54k miles, the right rear passenger door lock also became intermittently inoperative in the same manner.now, at 59k miles, all doors except the driver's door do not operate with either the interior door lock switch or the intelligent key fob button.recently, the vehicle was taken to a nissan dealership service department, where they diagnosed it as a problem with the door lock actuator.further, i was told that the front right door lock actuator is a control point for all other door locks.this is of great concern as i was assuming, as i'm sure others have, that i was driving in a secure vehicle when in fact, i was unsecured from four other entry points to my vehicle.this poses a threat to my and any of my passengers' presumed personal safety from would-be assailants gaining access to the vehicle through locks thought to be secure.this could also have serious - even fatal - ramifications in the event of an accident if the doors of the vehicle are thought to be locked (having no reason to believe otherwise), but were not.this creates the serious potential of occupants to be thrown from a vehicle door that could open during an accident due to faulty door lock actuators.even in my short search online, i have found numerous calls for action by other drivers, particularly of the 2004-2005 model years of my same vehicle.this is not an isolated occurrence. Immediate corrective remedial action must be taken by nissan usa to resolve this life-threatening defect.
I have a 2005 murano; my problem is: my driver's side door lock only works intermittently, and i can't always tell whether the door is locked or not. It sounds like it is locking/unlocking, but it doesn't always seem to be the case. I have gotten two different quotes from nissan dealerships, and both service managers said that it is a common problem.i feel like it is unsafe, and it seems like it is an issue that should fall under the "recall" policy.thank you.
I have a nissan murano 2005 i noticed 9-13-2010 my back passenger doors would not lockor unlock with the inside switch or with the remote i went to the nissan store they wanted to charge me $115.00 just to check it out i refused i went to advance auto parts store and auto zone they couldn't figure out why just those two doors are acting this way i don't have money to just give someone to check the problem i need to know the problem. I work and go to school i can not leave those two buildings to check and see if someone has broken into my car every minute because the doors don't lock or unlock it's unsafe for me and my children and i have a disabled child as well i paid too much money to purchase this nice vehicle i want every little thing to work properly for me and my family considering i haven't had it a year yet.
All passenger doors do not lock/unlock either using the fob or the driver power lock controller, the hatch is now lockingintermittently. This is a huge safety/security issue especially now that the hatch is having problems.this issue started in 2011, which i had the drivers door fixed, then starting in 2012 the passenger doors started having issues, now in 2013 the remaining passenger door and hatchback!!there is obviously a problem which must be addressed!
My wife drives a 2005 nissan murano and recently we have been having problems with the door locks. There are times when they work and other times they don't.i'm concerned that if my wife is in an area of some concern that there is a way to lock all the doors. In an emergency there is no way to know if the doors will unlock when you need them to. Since the only door with a key hole is the drivers door, if there should be a situation were my wife and daughter should need to rush in the car, this would be a problem.i took the car in to the shop to get it checked out and they told me that the door actuators needed to be replaced.the gentleman told me that the actuators aren't sold separately but that the hole assembly would need to be purchased at $409.00 each.this appears to be a way to greatly over charge.i think that if there wasn't a defect it would be an isolated issue but when they all start malfunctioning at the same time, there is definitely a problem.after leaving the dealer concerned that this just didn't sound right i started to research on the internet and found this to be happening to several nissan vehicles.if this part is causing difficulties then nissan should make the part simple to replace.i have also researched into the cost of some door actuators on the internet and find them to range around $25.00.since i'm not a mechanic i don't know if the part can be purchased outside of nissan and would still work. Thank you
First the passenger side electric door locks were failing to lock or unlock, within weeks both rear locks started failing! this is a very major safety concern for my wife and daughter. Plus in the drive the other night it didn't lock and someone got in and vandalized the interior and took personal items.
Power door lock actuator failed at 73,000 miles, this effects both passenger and rear hatch actuators will work in cold weather.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that all four door locks could not be locked or unlocked from the interior or exterior of the vehicle. The remote control key lock was also inoperable.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that there were no recalls for the failure.the manufacturer was notified who also advised the contact that there were no recalls for the vehicle and offered no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 106,000.updated 11/01/12*ljthe dealer had no record of prior service. Also, the oil cooler and cv boot were leaking and the air bag light illuminated. Updated 11/02/12
The driver side door lock actuator stopped working on my 2005 nissan murano.
The locks on the doors will sporadically lock or unlock and i am afraid my child may get locked in the car one day if keys are left in passenger seat when walking around vehicle to get child. This poses a serious threat to children or anyone in an unsure environment.
Began having issues with the locks to the point the rear hatch locks and won't unlock, not all doors lock or unlock anymore. Took to our mechanic and when he replaced the switch it still didn't work. He did some research and said this is an issue from nissan directly with the actuators.
Passenger door does not lock or unlock from the outside.rear hatch door does not unlock and will not open.i checked online and there are hundreds of complaints about nissan murano lock actuators posing problems and not working.nissan dealerships charge approximately $500 to fix each actuator, which seems extremely unfair considering it appears to be such a common defect.this is not only an unnecessary and preventable problem, but can be an extremely safety hazard.
I noticed my passenger side door lock would not automatically lock or if i manually locked itwould not unlock by pushing the lock button in my 2005 nissan murano probably about three months ago. So now i have to manually lock and unlock that door everytime. About two weeks ago i was going to load groceries in the back of my vehicle and when i hit the security unlock device the back hatch never unlocked. So now i can never open my back hatch because there is no key entry on the trunk. This is a huge safety issue. I took it to my local mechanic and he said it was the locking system in the car and would cost me over $700.00 to fix it. Nissan needs to take care of this because it is happening to alot of people and it is only a matter of time before an unsafe situation occurs and is in the media due to not having the ability to lock or unlock your car doors.
I have a 2005 nissan murano and the drivers side door lock actuator will not unlock the door.
Door locks does not work as intended having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. When locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. If anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. If the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario.2. Nissan knowing there is a security problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent. It's an open door to a lawsuit if someone were to be murdered due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the locking noise. Remember, in this case there's no obvious indication the door isn't locked unless someone walks up and opens it from the outside. The drive "thinks" the door is locked, when in reality it's an "open door" for carjacking or robbery.
Door lock actuator problem.
I was trapped in my nissan murano during 115 degree day in arizona for 20 minutes. I had to restart the car and drive to a facility where i could be freed from the vehicle. The door lock actuator solenoid only partially activates locking assembly on drivers door and only partially disengages. This creates a situation where you cannot open the door from the outside or inside of the vehicle in an emergency. This partial disengagement also keeps the door handle from opening the door manually. Evidentially i am not the only nissan owner who has had the same problem. The internet has numerous documented owners of nissan vehicles with the same exact problem. Nissan has failed to address this problem in a timely manner and possible death or serious injury could result in the event of a collision or fire due to the inability of the doors to be opened manually during this partial lock situation. The door handle should always open from the inside and over-ride the lock on the drivers door.
The power lock on my 2005 nissan murano will not lock/unlock. I took it to the dealer and was told it is not covered under my extended warranty and would cost over $500, parts and labor!
The door lock actuators are not working on my 2005 nissan murano. I can open the trunk.
We own a 2005 nissan murano - the driver's door and passenger door on the driver's side will not unlock with the remote or the switch - they require a manual unlock - this seems to be a common problem with these vehicles from my research online - i feel it is a safety issue that nissan should repair at no charge to the consumer.also, the airbag light stays on - we have had this checked, and it continues to be on - this is also another safety issue.our vehicle is in perfect condition otherwise.we have less than 60,000 miles on the car.
The door lock actuator on my rear passenger does not work.the door is permanently locked, it cannot be opened from the inside or outside.to me this is a safety hazard.
Problem with door locks on 05 nissan murano occasionally working, occasionally not.this is completely unsafe and apparently a common problem in nissan vehicles.having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. When locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. If anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. If the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario. 2.

Power lock on passenger door on 2005 nissan murano would not lock or unlock it.
Passenger door, passenger-side rear door, driver-side rear door and trunk door will not unlock while pressing the key fob twice.manually unlocking the doors by using the keyhole on the outside of the driver door does not solve the above problem.manually unlocking the doors by using the driver / passenger side unlock button on the armrest does not solve the above problem.trunk door cannot be opened with any of the above means due to absence of manual lock/unlock lever on the exterior of the door.
The front passenger lock would not open using the key fob or the interior lock buttons. The rear hatch will not open unless the front passenger door is unlock. Recently ( spring of 2013, 129k miles), the driver and rear passenger side locks would not operate unless manually unlocked, at first intermittently and ultimately stopped working completely.
My 2005 nissan murano had the front passenger door lock actuator stopped working in 2008.today, may 1, 2010 the back passenger side door lock actuator stopped working.i find this to be a serious problem that the door does not lock and/or unlock unless you manually do it.i have children and to get the baby out of the car seat i have to reach back unlock the door manually and then go around the car to take him out.the dealership informed it would be $389 per door.i tried calling nissan headquarters what a joke....i've been told they never heard of this problem.
I have been unable to unlock my right side doors and trunk for quite some time. Took it into the nissan dealership and they advised me that it is due to the door lock actuators. They quoted me a ridiculous amount of $1500 to fix. I looked online and found that i am not the only one with this problem and also signed a petition to have nissan issue a recall.
The door locks on my vehicle will not lock or unlock with the keyless remote and the passengers front door lock will not lock or unlock unless manually locked and also the backseat behind the passenger that door will not lock or unlock with the keyless remote this is a safety hazard for my young children riding in my car. The manufacturer of the these vehicles should be held responsible for the costto correct these problems apparently this has been an on going issue with these door locks as to what i have seen with the complaints posted. What is it going to take to get these locks fixed before young children get killed.
Powerlock failure.
There is a faulty door lock mechanism on my 2005 nissan murano.1. Having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. When locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. If anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. If the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario. 2. Nissan knowing there is a security problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent. It's an open door to a lawsuit if someone were to be murdered due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the locking noise. Remember, in this case there's no obvious indication the door isn't locked unless someone walks up and opens it from the outside. The drive "thinks" the door is locked, when in reality it's an "open door" for carjacking or robbery.this failure is an intermittent of operation. Sometimes the doors lock ok, other times they don't. In addition, sometimes the doors unlock ok, other times they don't. 3. In emergencies it's important to be able to unlock doors quickly. Since 99% of the time we all use the button to lock and unlock doors, using the manual locking lever is unfamiliar. And the murano's design is such that it's not easy to comprehend if it's not your car, for instance a rental car. I can easily understand how some people would be confused how unlock a door using the manual level in an emergency when they virtually have no experience with it. In emergencies every second counts. The locking/unlocking solenoid malfunctioning is clearly a high risk in emergency scenarios. Some people who cannot afford the $1600 to have all the solenoids replaced (as quoted by dealers) will forgo getting them fixed, putting their family members at risk with the above mishap examples. This shouldn't be, nissan should recall them.
The door locks on my 2005 murano do not always unlock when i push the unlock button.if this happens after an accident the passengers will not be able to open the doors and escape as the doors won't open when locked.this has been getting progressively worse since january.
The front passenger door and lift gate locks are failing to lock or unlock from key fob or from lock/unlock switch on driver's door.
The doors do not unlock by any electronic signal from the panel or hand held device, making the matter worse for the back door which can't be unlocked period. Since there is no manual override to open the backdoor, this is a serious safety issue and should be repaired and redesigned by nissan as the responsible producer of the vehicle.
The driver side door does not lock or unlock with key fab. The rear lift gate has the same problem. The door has to be manually unlocked and lock. The rear lift gate does not unlock and can not open.
Original owner of murano, purchased new in 2005.the door locks fail to lock and un-lock.this has occured at vairous times when using any means available to lock and un-lock the doors: the key fob, interior driver sideand passenger side locks button on door, and manual manipilation of the interior door lock(s).the issue is experienced with all 4 door locks and occassionally the rear hatch (not opened as often, so it may occure more frequently, just not aware of it).the condition worsens in the warm weather (live in fl).have at times been unable to get in or out of my vehicle until all of the above means tried repeatedly until one works.have found that i can only get in my car during warm weather if i use the fob to roll the front windows down and then reach in the vehicle and manually unlock the car door.
I have a 2005 nissan murano and the door locks do not properly lock and unlock on the car utilizing the cars key fab.it does not lock and unlock therefore it is difficult to get in and out of the car.
Just randomly, nothing occurred to cause this issue, my locks began acting up on my 2005 nissan murano. It randomly will not lock or unlock my doors. This is a huge issue for me being that i thought i was not going to be able to get my 3 month old baby out of my car. I had to go to the other side of my car and crawl through. Luckily those were unlocked. But what it they had not, i would have had a small baby stuck in the 100+ degree car.
First my driver door lock would work and then it wouldn't.next the same thing happened with the lift gate lock and now it doesn't work at all so i had a repair shop replace the hatch lock and it still doesn't work.
Driver's door and rear passenger door locks will not lock when actuated from the door power lock or the remote power lock. This is a danger because it means door locks can not be relied to power lock or unlock in the event of an emergency.
All door locks do not function with the fob or the internal door lock button. Must manually lock/unlock all doors. Condition worsens in warm weather.this is a serios safety hazard - i have two small children and in an emergency i would not be able to get them into or out of the vehicle quickly. Nissan won't even escalate my concern until i pay to have one of their dealerships look at it, but i know from reading other posts that once i do they will still refuse to fix it.
The locks on my 2005 nissan murano have started to not work unless manually operated. First, the rear passenger side door would not open or close with either the button or key fob, only manually, and then it was stiff. This went on for several months and then the front passenger door also began to fail, only operating manually. Shortly thereafter the rear hatch/trunk door also intermittently fails to open, though with the rear door, there is no manual open. The nissan dealership inspected it and insists that the door actuators need to be replaced on all affected doors, which is very expensive. And upon doing online research, this is a common problem on murano's and other nissan vehicles. The lock problem presents a potential safety hazard of not being able to open doors in a timely manner in case of fire, and also in retrieving infants and children from the car, which i do on a daily basis. In addition, if more door locks were to freeze up, there is only one manual key entry into the car.
The actuator for all of my door in the 2005 nissan murano broke.so why is it a safety issue? 1. Having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. When locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. If anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. If the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario.2.

2005 nissan murano. Consumer states safety problems with vehicle door locks *tgwthe consumer stated the driver side front door lock worked intermittently. When the lock system was activated electronically, the doors typically failed to completely lock or unlock completely.the inside lock button only moved half way.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the front passenger door and the trunk doors could not be opened when engaged. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer fordiagnosis or repairs.the failure and current mileages were 69,000. Updated 10/17/12updated 10/24/2012
We went out and started the car on wednesday night of last week and a very loud vibrating sound could be heard from the engine compartment.due to the tight quarters in the engine compartment and very cold temperatures, i was not able to investigate very much.it was obvious the noise occurred only under loads.nissan investigated the following day and informed us the idler pulley bracket had a crack and as a result it tore into the belts.nissan stated it needed to be fixed because it is extremely dangerous to drive with the bracket being cracked. Both the bracket and belts needed replacement asap ($400).the car has an existing powertrain and bumper to bumper warranty, neither of which covered this.in addition, nissan said this happens once and awhile so i looked the issue up online and found many complaints.in addition, it appears this fail results more often in cars that had the alternator recall repaired and in doing that repair, this bracket is either damaged or torqued too tightly back in place.had this piece completely broken while driving, we could have had a serious accident.nissan should replace these brackets considering they claim it "does occur", it "can't be driven safely" with it being cracked.there is no reason a bracket like this should fail, especially after only 4 years and 36,000 miles.
I have a 2005 nissan murano with approximately 73,000 miles on it.approximately 6000 miles ago, i had to replace the transfer case which cost $3600 to replace.nissan did not cover it while the dealership repair manager did say it was defective and not my fault.in fact, my car repair person has said it is 1/5th the size of a transfer case of a jeep cherokee, a car the same size of my murano.therefore, it is a design defect.the cvt now is needing repair.and, possibly the transfer case will be needing replacement as well.not a well built car, in my opinion.
I started hearing a rattle when under acceleration and could never find the culprit. It started jingling like change in someone pocket so i looked again and notice a piece of the idler pulley bracket going in circles around the adjustment screw. I looked up online only to yet another under designed part by nissan. This part failing can cause serious damage and even wrecks if not fixed immediately.
My transmission and engine began behaving erratically.the engine did not respond to the gas pedal immediately and seemed to work very hard to move the vehicle.the erratic behavior was then accompanied by what sounded like a plane landing then a loud bang.the behavior of the transmission caused the transfer case to fracture.(this was confirmed by my mechanic and again by the nissan dealer service department).nissan has recognized the transmission problems in a number of its models including the 2005 murano.as a result, nissan vehicles ranging in years from 2003-2010 equipped with a continuously variable transmission (cvt) have received a 10-year /120,000 mile cvt limited warranty extension.unfortunately this extension'' only covers the transmission itself and not the parts around it.i am stuck paying the $3,400 to replace the transfer case or be forced to sell the car.nissan is leaving the original cvt in my murano and i will undoubtedly be in the shop paying out of pocket for another breakage that could be avoided by a recall.i raised this issue with nissan corporate affairs and was promptly told that the transfer case was not covered under the extended cvt warranty and they will not be assisting financially.they did however offer me a $150 voucher off of the invoiced price of new nissan vehicle.this response is laughable and very insulting.i am very interested in becoming involved in any legal actions that will hasten a recall so that others will not be burdened by this manufacturers defect and financially fleeced by nissan corporation amidst an economic recession.according to my research on this problem with nissan and the murano in particular, i am not the first person to have and pay for this repair and i will most certainly not be the last.
Car would not drive when in drive and now the transfer case is out
Transmission failure
Transmission suddenly seized and vehicle would not move, even when being pushed in neutral.luckily it was in my parking lot but if this had happened in traffic or on the highway it could have been a dangerous and potentially deadly situation.
I have a 2005 nissan murano which is two wheel drive with the ctv transmission. We were coming back from vacation from colorado when the problem started.several times during the trip when we were coming down a hill with the cruise control on the car would try to maintain the selected speed however if the hill was a little to big it would turn off the cruise control it self. We were just south of san antonio the last time that it had turned off the the cruise. The problem was when it turned off the cruise it also disabled the transmission. It was rather scary as we were driving in rush hour traffic when it did it. We were coming down a hill when the cruise turned it self off and in the process the car started to slow down and we were in the middle lane. All we could do was turn on the right turn signal and hope no one would hit us. Once we had gotten to the shoulder and stopped i had realized the engine was still running but the transmission wouldn't respond. I had put it in park and back into drive but the car wouldn't respond. I figured if i shut the engine off and restarted it that maybe it would reset whatever was wrong. I restarted the engine and the whole dash lit up. One by one the lights had gone out except the "service the engine soon" light. However the transmission worked and has worked since.by the time we had gotten home and gotten an appointment to take it in to a nissan dealer the light had gone out. We had taken it to the charlie clark nissan in harlingen texas and they had it for two days and never had a problem with it. The reason they didn't have a problem is that we have no hills as we live in the valley and there are no hills here. They said that they had checked everything that could cause the problem and everything was to specification. So nothing was adjusted , or replaced so as far as i'm concerned the problem is still there and the next time we get into the hill country it will probably act up again.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle slowed down and the brake and battery indicators illuminated. The failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.
Takara recall : while the car is in motion the engine will shut off at random. When the engine shuts off the car is pulled along the side of the road, and will start again. This has happened on multiple, almost causing serious crashes.
Just bought the vehicle in january of 2016 thinking it would be a good used car. I was wrong it has 155,000 miles on it. Today i was driving home from work was stop at stoplight went to take off and it stalled and the check engine light came on, i was able to finally move it form the road and it wouldn't go above 5 mph, so i turned it off then back on it started to drive fine i didn't take any chances had it towed to a friends repair shop were checked the codes and it was all for the transmission. This could have caused a huge wreck as the road i was on is extremely busy. This very unsafe for nissan not to do anything about.
This complaint relates to a closed recall for the 2005 nissan murano nhtsa campaign id number: 05v3190. Two months with the vehicle and i had transmission problems, where the vehicle lost power and drive-ability, bringing my passengers and myself to a harms way. I contracted aamco to replace the transmission, one month later, nissan usa had to provide another transmission to replace the one changed one month before. Last monday, july 06, 2015, while driving on the new jersey garden state parkway, the vehicle presented serious trouble, when the emergency brake, awd and abs warning lights came on, as the vehicle lost speed, transmission disengaged, putting my wife, myself and other vehicles around us in serious risk of accident. I managed to pull the vehicle to the shoulder and later to a near by friend`s house in the galloway area. After contacting nissan usa regarding the transmission, they told me to contact aamco, since they installed the new transmission. Aamco checked the vehicle and found out that, the problem was caused by the alternator that heated up, dropped voltage to 12v dc and caused the safe mode to engage, by making the vehicle unsafe on the middle of the highway. Nissan usa claims that this nhtsa campaign has been closed, when it is to my believe that, it should be re-opened and not only me, but also many other nissan murano owners, that still confront such factory defective issues to have this issue resolved. I was lucky to be able to act fast enough and bring my vehicle to safes way, would all others be so lucky?

Car developed load rumbling in the front end. Progressively getting louder. Car then began to sure and or loose power at random intervals .. As so many others have stated cvt failing. Learned about this problem after the fact. Was amazed to see how many people had filed complaints without any response or help from nissan. No recall no help getting car credit, as it is valueless in trade at dealer. Fortunate that mine seemed to last longer than most. Cost 4 to 6 thousand to fix... More than car is worth at this point. Left with no way getting rid of it or getting new vehicle. Car that i thought would have good trade in value absolutely no one wants to touch. Been offered 1000 max for it at several different dealers. Shocked that a company size of nissan would not work with there customers... At least offering reasonable compensation for current value of vehicle. Im sure nissan will never be considered in my car buying decisions again. Problem has potential to be deadly for everyone in vehicle as the car looses power or surges without warning. I am sure they will be sued shortly when an entire family looses there life because nissan refuses to acknowledge the problem.
The driver side trans-axle slid out of it's locked position in the transmission. The axle seal/gasket was replaces 3months prior on the driverside. Up on disassembly, the dealership master transmission mechanic was baffled as to how this could have happened as he puts it "ypu would need a great force to pull it out once it was in locked position. All of the components were examined and seem to be all in good condition as far as wear on the threads ans well as the locking clip. It was concluded that this was a failure of product design and not the fault of improper installation and this failure could have let to a catastrophic failure at high speeds and may have resulted in severe accident.
Vehicle takes minutes to pick up speed especially true when it is on a stop position either in an intersection or traffic light intersection.i put my foot on the gas and press all the way down where it slowly moves, pick up a speed and do the same thing for each stop sign or traffic stop light.when starting the vehicle, it makes a screeching sound.if able to drive, steering wheel sometimes have that slight shaking.we have been experiencing these issues for more than a year now.tires were changed and brakes changed but issues still a big concern.
Backing out of the driveway heard clunking and grinding noises. Towed it to nissan and they state that i have a cracked transfer case, which with all parts and labor is costing us 5470.00. It seems to be a common occurrence with these models and years. Why hasn't nissan stepped up and issued a recall or extended program as with the cvt transmission??
Driving down hwy and car started jumping, whinning and then car locked up.i was able to pull over on side of hwy.i smelled smoke and got out.called wrecker .they towed to shop.. I now have a car payment but no car.estimate for repair 4,000.00for new transmission.
Transmission failure. $173k miles. Will cost $4k to replace. All transmission fluids in good order and good levels. Large nocking on the case, dealer says could go out any moment. Unable to drive due to safety issues.ridiculous and unsafe. A transmission should not go out like this.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact statedthat while attempting to accelerate from a traffic stop, the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed the power train control module would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 84,000.
The transmission just gave up, dragging at 25 miles per hour.

My 2005 nissan murano began exhibiting a strong burning oil smell approximately august 2013 and i took it to my mechanic.they said a seal in the front transfer case was bad and replaced it for a tune of $1800.in aug 2014 it began doing it again and much stronger. They replaced the seal again at no charge to me but then i took it back 2 weeks later for them to inspect the repair.the transfer case was cracked all along but they were unable to see it because of the amount of oil that had been leaking all over the underside of the case.i had to have the transfer case replaced in september to a tune of $3488+.i found out this has been happening to muranos from 2003 to 2012 and am very unhappy that nissan has not made this a recall on their cvt transfer cases.obviously the mold of the case is flawed with this happening to so many years of murano's and i am not even sure the new transfer case i received is going to be any better since i find evidence that owners of as late as 2012 murano's are having the same problem.this needs to be resolved by nissan and made right with the many owner's that have had to spend thousands to replace their faulty transfer cases.
The dealer identified the transfer case part of the awd transmission is leaking.my murano is on it's 3rd transmission (replaced around 25k and again around 106k), and this possibly was related to the transmission replacement.i realize this is not an emergency/safety issue, but it has been recommended that i report this defect here in an attempt to force nissan to issue a recall since so many murano owners have experienced the same expensive failures.
I was driving my car and the engine acted like it was going to stall and wouldn't respond by giving it gas. Then it just lurched forward abrubtly and began to run normally. Then after about 2 more blocks while we're going 45 mph it completely stalled out in the middle lane of a 3 lane road. This caused the car behind me to almost rearend us but the cars behind them actually did get into a crash trying to stop from hitting them. Thankfully a police car was a few cars back and was able to put their lights on and push my car out of traffic because we couldn't even get out of the car with cars whizzing past us on both sides. Thank god or we could've been involved in a multiple car crash and one of us could have gotten hurt. This happened on 07/13/18. I paid about $600 to replace the alternator and fix something in the cooling system. Now it is only a month later, 08/15/18, and it's done it again. It stalled in the middle of a construction zone driving 35mph while taking my child to school causing traffic to back up. The cars were driving through the construction cones/signs to our right illegally or they were driving down the shared turn lane on our left to get around me. About 200 cars drove past us without bothering to offer help and even after calling 911 for help, it took them almost an hour to show up and once again had to push us off the road to safety. This is creating a huge safety concern. I saw recall 09v169000 for similar or same issue for my model/year but when i look up my vin it says i have no recalls. I had spent almost $1300 about 3-4 yrs ago to fix this very same "stalling while driving" issue and thought i was past all this. Now i'm back to square 1 and issue still exists! why is thisnissan murano flaw not covered for all murano's with this problem? pease research my vin# and see if it can be included in the recall before one of us gets seriously hurt?
I bought my 05 murano from the dealership for $6000 and i only drove it for 3 months before the alternator and the transmission went. I paid $600 for the alternator to be repaired and 2 weeks later the transmission went. The dealership said that it would cost me $4200 to fix the transmission. They refused to give me any sort of discount. I got 3 months out of a $6000+ dollar car. I am so upset this has caused so many problems in my life in so many ways. I can't believe nissan ismorally ok with ripping me off like this.
The fatigue crack occurred at the transfer case. As an engineer, i suspect that the continuous variable transmission (cvt) problems in the murano caused the failure at the transfer case. More than likely, the manufacturer did not do proper fatigue testing or "turned an eye" at the problem. I believe that they are aware of the problems, as they have taken steps to extend the warranty in the cvt, yet refuse to recall other components directly associated with the cvt. This seems to be a very common issue among many nissan owners as i have read. Anyhow, a failure in the transfer case is a extremely dangerous situation. The transmission could lock up and cause an accident that may result in injuries or deaths.
Rear differential on nissan murano with 87k miles just blew up as we were driving on the highway. The car had been to a body shop for a new bumper, oil change, and new tires within the last month, and none of these experts noticed any issues with leaking fluid etc. The nissan service center told us the fluid was completely gone (way before it ever should have been an issue). This vehicle does not have a hitch and has only been used for urban/highway use. When the differential blew up, it destroyed both rear axles, which could have caused us to have an accident. Best case scenario, it only costs us $4000 to fix.
The vehicle does not go when you press the gas. It stalls extremely bad. It hasn't caused me a wreck --yet but it is going to happen. I have 2 young boys(age 6 &4) and i am scared for them to be in the car with me. I can not pull out in front of anyone because it takes so long for the acceleration to pick up. I like the looks of my murano and i bought it saying"it is a nissan so it will last" but i am starting to doubt that seriously!! this is my 2nd nissan vehicle and if this part cant be recalled then it will be my last and i will spread the word. This cvt problem is a safety issue for so many owners yet nissan refuses to do anything. I am very disappointed and hate to sell my murano but that looks like what i will have to do and take a huge loss on it also because of the cvt needing replaced. Makes the car not worth the nada or blue book at all.!!!!
Fuel sensor says car is on empty but will never fill up past 1/2 tank. Alternator is out now & bad vibration when driving between 60-70mph so could possibly be u joint considering everything else has been done that would correct a vibration
At a speed of 40 mph the transmission started to make a terrible ticking noise and vibrated through the cabin of the vehicle.i have ruled out the possibility of c.v. Joints as i ran the vehicle while being safely supported on a lift.the noise is echoing out of the cvt housing, all fluid levels are up.
On 4/28/2005 i was driving my vehicle and it wouldn't get up past 10 mph.i looked up online at nissan.com and found out there may be a warranty program for cvt.i brought it in, and they verified it and replaced it.3 days later my cvt started to give me similar issues again. So i brought it back and they told me they may re work on it.now i get it back and ride the car for another 2 days and now i hear a loud clicking noise.now i had to get it towed back to kings nissan in brooklyn ny. This time they tell me it was a messed up tcu computer on the replaced cvt, and now a transfer case.upon further review online. It seems like there are tons of people like my self going through this issue and nissan wont take ownership of it.
Several times while driving on city streets the car would shut down completely, with no warning hadto get towed. While in drive-through car shut down but a delay then restarted. Bought new battery, alternator and got a tune-up. Currently the car will not go in backwards.
My car just stopped working in the middle of the traffic and would not go forward or backward. I got it towed to good year - my car had catastrophic transmission failure. Was diagnosed at goodyear and they called nissan to see about the parts and found out that it was covered by manufacture warranty - so i had it towed on a flat bed truck to nissan in denver.goodyear had drained the fluids to take it apart during diagnosis and sent the parts and the car on the tow truck to the go nissan shop.they found a number of other problems with the car at the nissan shop which they said were not covered - such as- cam shaft sensors,drive belts,head gasket.i agreed to pay for those items and to get my transmission replaced for free under the warranty.they said it would take three to five days to get the transmissionfrom the factory.i get a call today from go nissan on june 19th about a week after they agreed to fix it and they now say that there seems to have been some purple fluid in the transmission and now they wont replace it or cover it in any way.that makes no sense to me because it was delivered there with no fluid in the transmission at all.they said, ya, well.. We saw some purple substance in the cup with the parts that were delivered and we will not cover it because of that contamination...im at my witts end here, they want $4000.00 for the transmission and another $2,500.00 for the rest of the work.i don't know what to do. I feel like they took advantage of me and are now trying to get out of the warranty. Thanks for your help.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 60 mph on the highway, the vehicle stalled without warning.although no attempt was made to restart the engine, the vehicle was towed to a dealer.the dealer was unable to determine the cause, but reset the computer.afterwards the computer was reset the vehicle stalled again.the vehicle was towed back to the dealer.the service department determined that the automatic transmission needed to be replaced.updated 6/16/2006 -
When i first start my car in the garage it just died right away no lights.then i started it up again, drove to the grocery store about 2 miles away.i then got into the car to drive out of the highway headed for home.traveling about 1 miles in the middle of turning into a very busy main street, my car just slow down and i pushed on the gas pedal the car would idle and not move.it was a very scary moment because many cars coming close hitting me and other cars almost collided into each other.i tried to turn the car off and on just to get the car moving out of the traffic.it would not let me accelerate, then it would shake and sit there.my daughter and i were scared too death and prayed the whole time.finally i called desperately begging for them to come and after about 45minutes the tow company truck showed up.i changed my oil faithfully and never had any problems or lights would tell me my car is in trouble.i had to tow the car to the nearest nissan dealer across the town.i went home all stressed out because i couldn't afford a car problem and the cost.i just got out of surgery a week ago.i was searching what kind of problem could i possibly have, then i came acrossalot of people have the same issue like i did. Then on monday, the dealer called and asked if i had transmission i told them no. The main service man from nissan dealer told me that the transmission has a major problem and had to be replaced.my heart just dropped and it's a good thing that he said they will place an order and replaced this with a new transmission and i would not have my car back (not sure when).i paid $90.00 for tow services and don't have a car until when to get to work.this is horrible experience and not right that this happens to us. We really depend on this car for my family and take care of this fairly new car.i usually don't complain but this is one important that everyone needs to know before someone dies. Nissan needs to accept responsibility!
Transmission seized up without any prior warning. I was traveling on interstate 81 at about 65 miles per hour when i had no power. Engine was working fine, but, as i found out later, my cvt transmission have self destruct, due to a code sent from the tcm module. I was in heavy traffic any was fortunate enough to be able to get to the shoulder of the road and not be involved in an accident.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.while driving various speeds, the vehicle decelerates without warning.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the pressure sensor inside of the transmission was the cause of the failure and needed to be replaced.the transmission was replaced, but the failure was noticed immediately afterwards.the failure and current mileages were 67,000.
2005 nissan murano with 68k miles suddenly lurched forward in my driveway almost wrecking into my house. No previous symptoms or dash lights. Towed it to the dealership, which said they didn't know what was wrong or why, but repair cost is $5,500. No other options given as they do not repair - only replace transmissions. No other shop is authorized to work on this model of transmissions. So i have no options.
2005 nissan murano cvt transmission failure at 90,000 miles - requires transmission replacement for $6,400 due to failed sensor in transmission.many others are reporting same failure with their 2003 and newer muranos on various websites.
After purchasing a 05 nissan murano, a month later the airbag light started to flash. Took it to the dealer and the airbag module was replaced and system was reset. In late 06 the airbag light start flashing again, the dealer reset the system, worked fine until oct of 08 at this point my extended warranty has ended. They reset the system and pulled the code from the unit. I was then told that the spiral cable aka clockspring cable is faulty that is the reason why the airbag light turns on at random times. I was quoted a little over $2000 for the repairs and was told there is nothing that can be done since my extended warranty has ended ask to talk to a manager and was told the same thing. Also on the way home from the dealer that day the airbag light came on again, when i called them i was given the instructions on how to reset the airbag light. I ask the if the airbag system will work if there is an accident and was told they cant guarantee it will but it should if the system is reset and the light is not on. From that day to now i have to reset the system at least once every 2 weeks. The other issue that i've had is with the transmission seals leaking with causes the oil level to get low and makes it loud and increases the rpm while driving. I had the seal replaced 3 times, once under original warranty, once with extended warranty and just recently had to pay for repairs. And again asked to talk to a service manager about this since its thesame part being replaced 3 times, and was told there is nothing that can be done since there is no extended warranty.
Squealing noise coming from car, took in and paid $100+ for nissan to diagnose the problem as internal transmission failure. Car had 66,000 miles on it which was 6,000 miles over warranty. Nissan would not cover to replace or fix the transmission. Was told cost to replace transmission would be $4,500.00. This happened in may did not get a response from nissan until july.
My murano sl awd 2005 just stopped in traffic and also while it was idling. It was moving and when i got to traffic, it stalled and wouldn't budge even thought the lights were still on. This is a real problem because an 18 wheeler can just ram into me when this mishap happens.updated 08/05/11
Exiting parking lot onto roadway,engine hesitation with little acceleration, awd lock comes on, service engine soon comes on. Turn off roadway, shut off vehicle and restart, no acceleration power, malfunction indicator lights still on - cannot drive vehicle. Next morning towed to dealership; report is a code u1000 - electrical and ground wire problem. Tsb procedure followed based on the code. However, tsb says it applies to the code only when no malfunction indicators lights are on. Therefore, i do not believe problem is fixed. Also, since then a vibration is detected through the gas pedal when accelerating. Service manager and tech test drove and stated there was something detected but no fix since there is no tsb for this kind of problem.

My car will not accelerate when i put on the gas. It started about a month ago and has gotten progressively worse. I pulled out into traffic today and almost got clobbered by another car because my car was stalling and hesitating 5 to 10 seconds at at time in the middle of the road! i could have been seriously hurt. I am parking the car until i can trade it in. I am 1000 miles out of warranty and they will not fix it for less than 6,000 dollars! ridiculous!
Dt:the windshield is distorted.the glass is wavy, and it is hard to see out of. The windshieldthe problem was with the outer sides of the windshield.the consumer noticed the problem about two weeks after purchasing it.this occurred on april 5, 2005.when the consumer went to two different dealerships, he was advisedthat every vehicle of that year, make, and model had the same problem.when he contacted the manufacturer, they said that they were made that way.the contact states that the vehicle was supposed to be a4-wheel drive,but it is only an all wheel drive vehicle when the road is wet.
The cvt transmission failed on my nissan murano in rush hour traffic in oklahoma city. My wife and 5 yr old son in the vehicle, resulting in a very dangerous situation. She was almost run over. After looking into this problem i have found hundreds of people that have had the same thing happen to them. I think nissan has a serious problem with this car that they are not addressing. This could have resulted in injury or death and nissan refuses to acknowledge this ticking time bomb in their muranos. Seems the problem is exclusive to the cvt transmission. I'm looking at a $6400 repair bill because it is 5000 miles out of warranty. When this occurs the vehicle simply stops moving and must be towed. Also told cannot fix cvt, must be replaced with brand new cvt, $6000.

Cvt transfer case failure.
I was going around the vehicle in front of me and i heard a lock snapping sound.i was informed it was the transfer case.luckily i was only traveling 5 mph when the transfer case broke.
I am writing to inform you of my problems occurring with my 2005 nissan murano sl vin# [xxx]. I purchased my car from your dealership in 2005 and have gone for all of my service needs to your facility. There have been 3 different instances in which i have taken my car into your service department for issues/problems with the transfer case / cvt unit. Today january 5,2012, i called nissan services regarding the same issue again with my transfer case and was informed to bring it into your service department. I brought the car in and informed the front desk of the problem. Four hours later, i was informed that yes the transfer case was cracked but it would not be repaired because it was not the same problem from before and because i was out of warranty. I have 3 separate service orders from the other repairs from your department that clearly state what the issue/problem was "the transfer case was replaced due to damage". I have been a loyal customer for the past 7 years and am disappointed in the service received regarding a known ongoing issue with the cvt / transfer case of the murano, and feel that this problem should be covered and resolved at no cost to me.attached please find the 3 service order numbers i am referring to regarding repairs to the cvt / transfer case11/17/08- nics1293685/14/09 - 6004693-110/28/10 - 6026212-3.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I currently own a 2005 nissan murano with approx. 60k miles. To my surprise while driving the car, the seat began to rock back and forth for no apparent reason. After taking the car into our local nissan dealer, i was informed that the welds on the drivers seat had broken at the base and this was a common problem. Unfortunately, this repair would cost around $1,000 to remedy. After researching this problem online, i have found that this is indeed a very common issue with nissan murano's, but nissan corp. Has not issued a safety recall. This is a very serious safety defect. Some owners have stated that they were driving when this defect occurred and it caused the driver to veer into oncoming traffic due to the surprise of the seat falling towards the drivers door. After speaking with nissan consumer affairs, i was informed that there was not a recall issued and that i would be responsible for the correction of this safety defect. Some owners have paid to have this issue corrected, only to have it occur yet again.
1. In the course of normal operation the driver seat frame fractured causing the seat to rock and not be secure.2. Hard failure - seat is not secure and rocks back and forth3. A new seat has been ordered to replace the failed seat.
My 2005 nissan murano's driver's seat snapped and broke when simply going around a curve at a low rate of speed.the car had 38,000 miles on it and was only 2 years old.i took it to the dealership and they admitted to me that it was a defective seat bracket, but that the company was not going to cover it- not the dealership, and not the car manufacturer.they admitted that they had fixed many, many muranos with this same defect in the past two years. Because it was a safety hazard, and the car is leased, i was stuck with a $1,200 repair bill ($800 for the part, a whole new seat track and $400 for labor).i appealed to nissan corporation because the internet is buzzing with reports of this being a documented defect and engineering flaw, and they told me that they were not planning on doing anything about it- i was stuck paying the entire amount!i felt ripped off to the max!since i have a 3 year old and the seat flopped around at will when i was driving, i felt like i has no choice but to fix it because i was afraid of a crash.nissan should be ashamed of themselves, and so should brown's nissan of sterling, virginia!before this i was quite happy with the car, but no more- i feel cheated and robbed by nissan and brown's.
The driver's seat suddenly broke, which startled me and caused me and the seat to lean back and to the left.the seat seems to be anchored on the right, but is loose on the back left, so it now rocks back and forth - especially when cornering.i read online of many other instances of this occurring with other nissan murano owners but there does not yet seem to be a recall.there is, however, a nissan tsb out on this subject, #05-043c.
My front drivers seat has come loose, and is rocking back and forth. I have heard this is a very expensive repair. This is an obvious defect, and a possible dangerous problem in an accident. I have read on edmonds, hundreds of people have complained about this problem, and nissan refuses to fix this defect for free. I should not have to pay for a defect that could be a life threatening situation. What can we do about this ?
2005 nissan murano:i am having a problem with the driver's power seat.it adjusts itself randomly & makes clicking noises, while i am driving.it mainly slides back to the farthest position, so it is very hard to touch the brake & accelerator pedals.this has been intermittently occurring for approx 7 days.as of today, the back of the seat is now randomly moving forward while i am driving, so that it is in effect folding me in half!this seems like a very dangerous way to drive..previous to the seat randomly moving on a regular basis (since the past week), the seat felt like it was tilted slightly to one side.at first the problem was that the seat sometimes would slip out of position into another position.this went on for about 2 or so weeks before the clicking noises & random repositioning started happening.i would like the nhtsa to check into this seat failure as i feel that it is a dangerous problem.the seat moves back randomly when i'm driving & for a shorter person this could cause an accident as they may not even be able to touch the pedals in order to pull over.does this warrant a safety recall??
Drivers side seat is loose and started to dip towards the left. The seat is broken. I looked online and can see this is a recurring problem. Also the panel where you can push to lock awd or put on the seat warmers has sunk into the panel.
I own a 2005 nissan murano awd. The power drivers seat track has broken for no apparent reason. The problem seems to be on the left side and when i turnto the left, the seat raises up and gives you the feeling that you might tip out of the seat. The seat is also loose when entering or existing the vehicle. When i took it to the dealer to be fixed, they informed me that it would cost over $800 to fix and that it was not covered under and extended warranty. Due to the extreme cost, i cannot afford to have this fixed.
I own a 2005 nissan murano se. As i was going 60 mph in the fast lane down the highway, the seat snapped ,tilted to the left then lurched backward becoming unstable. I almost loss control of the car and injured my back. I had to pull over to the side of the road and the bar that is in the lower bottom of the seat bracket broke off and the screwthat anchors the seat to the floor became unstable. I had to find a way to secure the seat to ride home and lucky me had some patio bricks in the back which are now holding this seat up otherwise it will collapse. I called nissan headquarters and they will not help me and they do not care. The dealer wants $1,800 to fix which i could put down for another car because i will never buy a nissan again. Also , the door handles have broke ,the differential and a long list of many things with this car. I take care of my car but this model is a nightmare. They could offer something of a discount but too greedy. I could of loss my life with this car but i am lucky to be an older driver and experienced. The seat has no support and will fall over backward. There should be a solution the bracket that holds the support bar is thinner than a dime and is a manufacturing defect. This could of happened at any time depending on the type of highway you travel no matter the mileage or the age of the vehicle. The driver's seat is a safety issue not like the passenger seat.
I own a 2005 nissan murano that i bought used from carmax in 2007. I have had regular service performed by an asce certified mechanic since then. On 5/18/10 at less than 45k mi, the base of my driver seat suddenly broke one morning when i got into the car (parked in my garage). I weigh <120 lbs and was stunned. It was an obvious safety issue that could have resulted in serious injury, so i had it repaired immediately (5/20) through my regular mechanic. Total cost was $942.66 ($742.08 for the part & $127.50 for labor).i was extremely upset about being forced to pay so much for something beyond my control. Everyone agreed that it should never have happened, even my local nissan dealership. The dealership confirmed it was classified as a mechanical defect, checked recalls (none), and suggested i call nissan consumer affairs specifically to request goodwill assistance (compensation for repairs). They said since i had the repair done at an asce certified mechanic, the request should be fine. Nissan consumer affairs took my info & and established a case #6838133 on 6/9/10. I was assured i would be contacted by a regional specialist w/n 24 hours.when i did not receive a return call, i placed 5 more calls over the next several weeks. All assured me they were urgently requesting the regional specialist/supervisor to contact me. I re-contacted my local nissan dealership at that point, who then attempted to call on my behalf and seek assistance through their area representative. After the 7th call, ms. Jimenez (rude) called back to explain that nissan's policy doesn't allow compensation for repairs not handled by nissan, even though nissan employees told me differently and were calling on my behalf. I want compensation for the $942.66 i paid for a manufacturer's mechanical breakdown-seat base should not have broken- which could have caused serious injury or death to me/my passengers. Ca dca found similar 2008 complaint thru nhtsa dismissed b/c no one hurt badly enough?!!?
I've been having a problem with the power driver's seat in my 2005 nissan murano, the driver's side power seat just started to tilt to one side, and also forward. It is loose and will tilt forward/backward when i decelerate/accelerates. According to my mechanic, it's sort of structural failure with the anchor of the left rear side of the power driver seat.
Front driver side seat assembly bracket broke in two places (rear left bracket) causing seat to lean and sway when cornering or braking. Extremely unsafe for all drivers on the roadway.
Driver seat metal frame that holds seat in is broken (nissan calls it a seat adjustment frame). The frame broke at about 40,000+ miles give or take. When you turn the corner or lean to one side while driving, the entire seat rocks back and forth, it lifts up on one side and falls back down. It's just a matter of time before the stress put on the opposite side breaks it too. This is every time it is driven, regardless of speed.

Drivers seat is broken on 2005 nissan murano. There doesn't seem to be a recall in place when it should be. There are many people with the same issue. And it is clearly a design/manufacture issue.
Support bar under drivers seat broke.the seat now rocks back and forth, it is not sturdy.this happened by simply getting into the car one day, there was no warning the seat was simply unstable.when driving the car now the seat tips up when going around a corner, it feels like it will completely detach.

Nissan murano driver's side seat brakes did broke.
While accelerating from a stop at a light the left rear corner of the driver's side seat dropped about 3-4 inches.i was now leaning back and to the left in a very weird position.i had a hard time reaching the pedals as the front of the seat was now much higher than the rear so my legs were pulled back from the brake and gas pedals.i could pull myself back up and "balance" on the three other seat mounts that were still good but i had to pull on the steering wheel to do so and that made it difficult to steer.i pulled over into a parking lot a soon as i could.after a few minutes of investigation i discovered i could at least have a stable seat if i lowered it all the way to the floor.the broken seat mount now rests on the floor of the vehicle which works for me as i'm fairly tall and can still operate the car.however, anyone a bit shorter than me cannot drive safely as they cant adjust the seat up any longer.i'm glad i was driving fairly slow when this happened as it was quite an abrupt and startling change in driving position and seems quite dangerous if driving at higher speeds or if someone has a different reaction to such an event.

2005 nissan murano.no previous issues with the seat.i have approx 95k miles.beginning onfriday april 16th 2010.drivers side seat began to wobble (side to side) as i was coming to a stop.i was concerned for my safety as i thought that the entire seat had come off the track.i had to pull over and tried to see what had happened.i was not able to see anything due to the plastic covers etc on the sides of the seat.however, idid notice that i could completely lift the seat left to right.i very cautiously drove home.upon further inspection, we found that a metal part under the seat is completely broken in half.the seat is still on the track and all of the power functions are still operational.however, my seat now wobbles every time i slow down, make turns or come to a stop. This is not a wear and tear item. After online research, i have found a significant number of reports and complaints with the exact same issue.this seems to be more of a safety hazard. I have contacted my local nissan dealership and have been told that it is not a covered item under my extended warranty and that they are familiar with this issue and it will cost approx. $1000 part and labor to repair!! how many more complaints before nissan voluntarily recalls this item or do actual deaths have to occur before something changes?
Heard a "pop" and then felt the car seat rock.appears that something broke on the left, rear corner of the driver's seat.
Got in vehicle and driver right seat came unattached from the floor and is still like that. Wobbles back and forth and not attached any more creating a huge safety issue. Bought the car less than a month ago and dealership not returning calls and are acting like they don't know what happened as if i am the first person to report this. There should be a recall as my seat is not attached to the car.
I have a 2005 nissan murano s with just 65,000 miles on it.the driver's seat broke; i think it is something at the left rear of the seat.after looking on line, i found that there is a problem with a part called the lifter bracket.it would appear that there are hundreds of people out there with this problem.apparently nissan is aware of this problem because they manufacture a part for this repair at a very high cost to the consumer not to mention the labor cost to do the repair.this has been an apparent problem for years without any recall by nissan.my sister also has a 2005 nissan murano as well and her driver's seat broke a few years ago; they put a brick under it to stop the rocking!the seat rocks to the right when you go around a corner and god forbid what could happen if an accident were to occur.is there anything your agency can do to cause nissan to issue a recall on the driver's seat?
Under normal use i am a 195 lb. Guy who drives my 2005 nissan murano to work and for errands.i have never put the seat under any type of excessive wear but the back support bar on the bottom broke.this is definitely and engineering flaw in the seat but nissan refused to replace it.
My driver's seat broke in the same manner as a number of other driver's. There is plenty of instances available that should be considered to find a quick resolution to this dangerous issue. Http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/murano/3302-drivers-seat.htmlthe driver seat is anchored on the right side but is loose from the left rear, allowing significant rocking back and forth and right to left when taking turns, hitting the brakes or anytime the car is moving.i bought this car new in 2005 and am happy to say i am healthy enough to not be on record guinness as the heaviest person that could brake a car seat. Both the dealer (weston nissan, at weston, florida) and nissan denied my claim on 9/24/2009.

The drivers seat mounting bracket failed and the seat fell.apparently this has happened to others on this model year?i believe this is a safety concern as a driver could lose control if the bracket snaps like mine did.luckily mine was stationary when it snapped.
I was rear ended while stopped for a light and the driver's seat-back fell backwards as a result of the impact. The speed limit in the area is 50mph and i am not sure how fast the other driver was going.the car has been scrapped by the other driver's insurance carrier.i have been toldthat the seat -backs are not supposed to move on impact.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.when decelerating or making a right or left turn the drivers seat moved out of position. As a consequence, she lost control of the vehicle, and almost crashed into an intersection. She notified the dealer, and a technician speculated that the failure was caused by drivers with a heavy weight class; however, she has a small stature. The technician would not assume responsibility for the failure; therefore, no repairs were made. The failure and current mileages were 32,000.

I have been driving my nissan murano for at least three years with a broken seat . I file a complain three years ago. Everybody that i know who owns a nissan murano has the drivers seat broke. I have been reading a lot of complains about these problem and the odihas not issue a recall.how much is nissan corporation giving to not do a recall?; im sure that if the nissan murano owners get together we can collect more money to make odi to do a recall these is ridiculous. I can let you drive my murano so you can feel who hard is to drive my murano with a broken seat. Odi needs to work on these problem right away.
I was driving my 2005 murano and the left side of the driver side seat starting going down and would not come back up. I stopped, looked, and checked the seat. That is when i noticed my seat started rocking back and forth when i pulled on the top of the seat. I had it checked and the seat bracket is broken. I have found out that this is a common problem with muranos due to the faulty bracket in 2003-2007 nissan muranos.why hasn't nissan recalled these brackets? why does it cost $1300 to replace the entire seat when it is just a defective bracket that needs to be replaced? why do i have to pay for this?here is a forum of people having the same problem. Click to the last page and you will notice problems as current as 6/08/2012. These are the problems that are being reported.

Drivers side power seat broken.
Letter from senator specter on behalf on constituents, re defect in the 2005 nissan murano.*njthe drivers side seat frame/track is currently broken. The consumer stated it caused the seat to tilt toward the door.
Without any apparent reason, the power driver's seat in my 2005 nissan murano began slightly tilting back and forth, similar to a rocking chair motion. Dealer stated the whole seat baseframe needs replacement. Cost of repair $800 plus. Of course the car has 40,000 miles on it and is 4000 miles over warranty.i have never heard of such an item needing repair on a vehicle with so few miles and never having been involved in a collision. Seems like a design flaw and should be replaced by nissan at no cost to the consumer. Through research on many internet sites, it seems this problem is more prevalent than i thought. Nissan should be made to issue a recall before someone get seriously injured or killed.
Drivers seat broken. Possibly a broken bracket.
Driver's seat bracket is broken so the seat is slanted and wobbles.
Totally unexpectedly, the driver's seat tilted backwards all of a sudden, almost causing an accident as i lost control for a while.i took the car to the garage after wedging the seat stationary with blocks of wood.the mechanic said the weld on the seat bracket broke and that it was my responsibility to fix at a cost of $1100.despite repeated attempts to get nissan to repair what was clearly a faulty design that caused metal fatigue, the seat still has not been repaired.i went on the internet to see if anyone else has had thisproblem and found in a short time about 200 instances of this bracket breaking in this same spot. This car has only about 38,000 miles and has only been driven by myself.
Just sat down in my car yesterday and the drivers seat made a popping noise and fell over to the left towards the door. I only way 110lbs. I have looked under the seat and there is a metal bracket that holds the seat up that is broken.
Drivers car seat rattles from side to side causing difficulty when driving - serious safety hazard. Nissan murano- 2006.
Nissan murano'05 sl.driver seat track broke.car is 2.5 year old and 41,000 miles.seat got broken while i was pulling out of driveway.$377 repair and parts.
Wife was driving and heard a pop sound. Seat began to shift when making turns and entering and exiting the vehicle. We looked under seat and see the rear bar has broken off its welding point on the left side on the drivers seat.
I was driving in my 2005 nissan murano and just exited off the freeway.while turning on the exit ramp i felt the driver seat feel like it shifted up and away from the rear left.about a mile later there was a loud crack and the left rear corner of the driver's seat dropped down.when i got home i looked under the seat to see what had happened.i appears the bracket that connects the left rear corner of the driver's seat to the floor bracket has broken.i spent some time today searching on the internet and found this is a quite common problem.i even found a technical service bulletin from nissan on how to fix the problem.if it's a known issue that the bracket will eventually fail under fatigue why isn't there a recall or a service announcement?
Brackets under drivers side seat had snapped, seat is no longer attached properly. Major safety issues. Apparently a known issue with this vehicle model years 2003-2007 that was later corrected, yet nissan will not produce a recall or cover the costs unless in your warranty period. The new part, is made completely different and is steel, so obviously they know there is an issue but are choosing to do nothing about it. Dealer wants to charge over $1000 for this repair. Again a major safety issue & in doing research is happening to people all over the world. Something should be done. I contacted nissan for a good will repair but it is under investigation, in the meantime, i drive around risking my life. Because of the safety concern, no one else seems to want to fix it.previous safety bulletin issued by nissan is ntb05-043d. No recall to date.
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. The driver's seat is now very loose.the seat moves upon exit/entering the car and while driving.a small support bracket is broken and nissan claims the whole seat assembly needs to be changed, cost $1000+.it seems to me thatseat bracket should not break under normal conditions and i was very surprised when i looked around online and found many people with the same problem.have the drivers seat move around while the car is moving seems to me like a serious safety problem.

I recently purchased a used 2005 nissan murano.i feel in the love with the car.unfortunately, i have found a problem with the driver side seat.the frame has broken and is now leaning towards the driver side door.i can actually rock the seat back and forth.i have contacted nissan and they have told me that there are no recalls and the warranty has expired.unfortunately, for others, i have read about the same problem with other 2005 muranos from other owners.i'm very disappointed and feel like this should be covered by nissan or by recall since it's a defective part of the car.please review this complaint along with the many others regarding this issue.
While exiting my car as i was going to stand from my seat i heard a 'snap' and the seat dropped down a fraction in the rear left hand side. Now my seat is very, very wobbly. This is evidently a very common problem.
The rear left bracket on the driver seat of my 2005 nissan murano failed suddenly while i was driving at a constant speed in a straight line.the vehicle has 44k miles on it and has had no symptoms of an impending seat failure.the failure caused the seat to swiftly rock back and to the left, causing me to lose control of the vehicle momentarily.luckily i didn't hit anything, and i was able to regain control of the vehicle.i had my 6 month old baby in the car, and this situation put her at unacceptable risk of injury.discussions with nissan corporate (1-800-nissan1) and the dealer have been fruitless.both were aware that this was a known problem, with a tsb issued years ago (nissan tsb ntb05-043d).they were unsympathetic to the danger their design flaw posed to my family.nissan offered to fix the problem, at a cost to me of $670.a safety issue like this, even explicitly mentioned in the nhtsa list of examples of safety-related defects (seats and/or seat backs that fail unexpectedly during normal use), is absolutely unacceptable.i am completely at a loss to understand why this issue has existed for years in multiple muranos without a recall being issued.just look at all of the other complaints listed on this site.hundreds of them.something needs to be done.
Driving on highway, heard a loud pop and my seat tilted back. The left rear bracket broke.
I was driving my 2005 nissan murano to work on friday 11/6/2009 when all of an sudden my bottom cross bar to the driver side (left side) broke, causing my seat to swing left to right.
While driving down the road the frame on the drivers seat broke causing the seat to fall back and to the left. Scared me and thought i was going to wreck but didn't. Then very difficult to maneuver the car to get home since you are sitting cocked to the side and back. Called nissan and looked online as to recalls and there are none but several complaints were there regarding these seats. This is the 2nd time this has happened the first being earlier this year. Nissan said to bring itand pay to have it fixed. We had friend weld it cheaper than them. If the seat is faulty then there is no sense fixing it numerous times and they need to remake this part so it does not keep breaking, think they should recall since it is unsafe.
Drivers seat became loose at rear bracket causing seat to tilt and become loose. Drivers seat is unsafe due to broken bracket underneath seat.
While i was driving, i heard a loud pop and the drivers seat shifted.the link lifter for the seat no longer functions correctly.the seat is lopsided unless all the way down to the floor, and will not raise uniformly any more.if the seat is raised up, it leans into the back right corner, no longer level with the floor of the vehicle.internet research has shown that this is a known issue, and there has been a technical service bulletin released on it.
While driving along, i took a slight turn and heard a crack sound.all of a sudden the back left corner of my driver seat fell, upon stopping the vehicle, i found i can now easily "rock" my driver seat up/down. Due to this, i have severe back strain while driving along with great concerns of safety, if i go over a bump will my foot slip off the accelerator or brake?if, in an accident will i end up in the back seat while the vehicle is in drive?is my young family in jeopardy?
While driving down the street, i heard a "snap" and then my seat tipped backwards and to the left.while driving home, every speed bump i went over made the seat bounce as it is not held down.i called the dealership and told the man who answered the phone that the seat in my car broke as i was driving.he asked me, "murano?" i said, "yes."he said, "2004 or 2005?" i said, "2005."he said, "that will cost $1,300 to fix.i know what the problem is.it happens all the time on the particular car."i feel like that having your seat break as you are driving down the street is quite hazardous.fortunately, i didn't have an accident, which is probably in part because i was in a residential area and going slow.this is clearly a defective part and should be replaced by nissan.if it wasn't defective, the man at the dealership would not have been able to identify my car without me giving him any personally identifying information about me or my car.

Approximately 15 months ago, our drivers side seat broke underneath the seat causing the seat to lean to the left against the drivers side door.i took the seat out to see what had happened and found the metal frame support bar underneath the seat had snapped.we called the dealer and they told us to bring it in and it could cost upwards of $500 initially.i decided to fix the seat myself and re-weld the metal.i contacted nissan to see if they would do anything feeling that this is a huge safety concern being that the seat is part of the restraint system and they told me to take it to the dealer which i did, then, to have the dealer contact them.the dealer charged me $107 to take the seat out look at it, print off some papers and put it back in the car.nissan then contacted me and denied any accountability for the defect, told me i was over warranty and furthermore that i voided the warranty when i fixed my own seat.i am outraged that there has not been a recall on such an important part of the car!as i check with parts people or even do research online about this problem it's clearly evident that this is a major problem with this car and everyone knows it.i have fixed this seat 3 times over the past 15 months and i am fed up with it.nissan wants $1000 to fix this.i think that sucks and they should be standing by their product and fixing it like a real reputable company would.the website i read several stories on was carcomplaints.com.can you help?

The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.while driving at an unknown speed, the contact heard a loud pop and the driver's seat became detached from the vehicle.the dealer stated that the rear driver's side bolt failed on the seat rail.in addition, the driver's seat would tilt when the vehicle was turned right or left.he was concerned that he could lose control of the vehicle if the seat moved away from the steering wheel or accelerator and/or brake pedals.the estimated cost of repair was over $1,000.the vin was unable to be entered into the system.the current and failure mileages were less than 52,000.updated 06/24/09.*ljupdated 06/26/09.
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.
2005 nissan murano driver's seat lifter link slide assembly broke. The seat rocks back and forward when accelerating or decelerating.
2005 nissan murano, driver seat, rear left seat bracket broke during normal driving conditions, causing seat to become unsafe and to sag badly in back left corner and seatbelt to sit in wrong place.
I sat down in the drivers seat of my 2005 nissan murano and the left rear side of the frame sheared off.the seat is now totally unstable and unsafe.
2005 nissan murano made a left turn and my seat frame broke. Driver's side rear bracket. Nissan wants $1200 to fix. Seat brackets shouldn't break. There are tons of occurrences of this problem recorded. This should be recalled.
I could not move my power seat to drive and s terrified every time i drive.for no reason my seat stopped going forward and back and then it would swivel on the track. .the next day i brought the car to my mechanic and he verified i needed a new power seat.i called nissan corp that night and voiced my concern and i was given a case number, but was told i had to go to a nissan dealership. I made the for the next day.took the car in to lokey nissan on 7/01/04.they verified i needed a lower seat assembly and a finisher assembly (which holds the wires).the parts are $1300. And labor $395.89.i then called april back (as she instructed)@ nissan 1-800-647-7261 (4 or 5 times) and all i got was her recording.the case # is: [xxx] and april is @ 457248.i was able to find a used part and my mechanic could install it, but after reading on the internet how many moreno owner's this happen's to, i am appalled.there should definitely be a recall on these cars.nissan knew about the problem on 04 - 06 moreno's faulty front power seat and or improper forward/backward movement.and special bulletins went out to all technical service personnel toamend and incorporate ntb-5-056 into their service manuals.my husband and i are both on disability and do not have $1600. To fix nissan's mistake.i feel i am in danger every time i get behind the wheel and to make matters worse,nissan won't return myphone calls, when they are the ones who told me to go to the dealership...big waste of time and get a service record going.so in all:nissan corp knows that the seat slide motor or gear assembly needs to replaced for any reason, that the power seat has voltage to it, but will not move forward or backward.the seat also moves while driving it because the seat won't stay on the track: it becomes crooked on the seat tracks.

Drivers seat connection rail fails under normal driving conditions causing unstable driving conditions. This happened suddenly a few months ago while i was steering through a turn. The seat rail snapped, and the seat became detached on one side causing my weight to shift unexpectedly. This almost caused an accident.i brought the car to the dealer and they wanted $1,100 to repair it. $700 for 12" long seat rail.i ended up having another auto service weld the broken rail back together for half the cost, but as of today it has broken again. I'm 6' tall 200 lbs and the vehicle is driven mostly in city driving conditions. There is no reason for a seat rail to break under these conditions.
Driver seat frame,the left side rear bracket broke, causing the seat to drop down and become unstable.
Exiting the neighborhood, the drivers seat fell backwards from underneath the seat.
The front drivers seat frame broke under normal operating conditions after getting into my vehicle (i weight about 160lbs, 5'7" tall) on july 25th, 2010.i have not yet gotten this problem fixed because it is going to cost about $900 to fix it.
I drive a 2005 nissan murano. One day i was making a 90 degree right turn when i felt the driver seat snap. Afterward i could left up the seat with my hand where it should have been secured to the floor. The seat now leans to the right whenever i make a right turn. After reading about this on some message boards i've heard this is a very common problem for the nissan murano. This is a huge safety issue that is expensive to fix, around 1000 dollars.
2005 nissan murano driver's side seat frame broke for no reason. Numerous reports of same issue according to dealer and online research. Serious safety concern since restraint system is now compromised.quote to repair is over $1,000.00.
Driver side seat broken/rocking while driving. Could easily cause an accident.
I have a 2005 nissan murano. My driver side seat just suddenly broke while i was driving. I spoke to another nissan murano owner and she told me hers did the same thing and nissan charged her $500 to replace it. I think this is a bi ridiculous that there are so many complaints about these seats and nissan hasn't recalled it.
Seat support cross-bar broke, seat now floats when driving
I purchased my 2005 nissan murano in march of 2009. In march of 2010 my drivers side seat broke. Looking under the seat the one of the metal support bars has come unwelded from the track causing the seat to lean to the left against the door. I have had a nissan vehicle since 1995 and have never had any major issues.
I was driving down the road when the left side of my seat tilted suddenly, throwing me off balance and causing my back to twist. I stopped immediately, and found that the seat was unstable.i took it to my local mechanic, who showed me where the weld had failed on the left side of the seat.as advised, i called my nissan dealer, who indicated that quote "this has happened frequently, and we have received a replacement part for the repair, which we keep in stock."they indicated the cost was $660 plus the cost of installation, as my car is 3000 miles over the general warranty limit.although i was not injured, this seat is now unsafe, as it is only partially anchored to the floor.additional stress is on the remaining weld, and it can fail at any time.additionally, any impact can cause the seat to become unanchored.i am contacting nissan corporate tomorrow, but feel that this is truly a safety defect that should be the subject of a recall repair. Please advise.thanks.
Message to all nissan murano drivers, drivers seat is built on a welded frame, and even though the vehicle has a reverse camera we all still tend to look over our shoulders to check whist reversing, (which we should!) putting pressure on the frame of the seat and causing it to break the seat welding and causing a mal-function which in the majority of cases will not be at very high speeds, a further problem occurs when drivers don't realize and continue to drive, creating a much greater danger.
The pivot, which attaches the driver's side seat to the car, broke.now the seat wobbles severely and in the case of an accident, would not be firmly braced to the vehicle.
While driving, driver's seat began to wobble. The next thing i noticed was that the seat dropped about 3 inches. I inspected the seat and saw that a welded bracket had broken apart.
I just recently purchased a used 2005 murano. The car now has approximately 70,750 miles on it. As i was getting into the car to go get groceries, i felt the seat immediately rock to the rear left. I got out of the car to see what was wrong and because of the plastic near the base of the seat i wasn't able to identify, but noticed that i could lift the seat up back and forth. I didn't purchase an extended warranty which i believe wouldn't have mattered anyway from everyone's previous postings, but i cannot afford 1000$ for a repair that everyone seems to be having in the same exact place. This should be a safety hazard and one that is fixed by nissan. This isn't a radio going out or anything of the sort. The seat moves when you make turns, etc, and makes me wonder if it really was worth purchasing this car for this amount of money for this to happen 2 months later. Nissans are supposed to be fantastic cars and hold their value. So far, i am not seeing it. Please recall this defect. It shouldn't take peoples lives to be put at risk to have anything done. Look what happened with toyota?
Driver side seat in nissan murano broke again without warning. Seat tilted to the left and was unstable. I was unable to adjust the seat to the proper driving position. Car was parked at the time. I was getting into the car and once seated it broke. Nissan said the only repair is to replace the seat entirely at $1,000! nissan consumer affairs refuses to cover the costs to replace the seat.
While turning right while driving my 2005 nissan murano i heard and felt a loud pop underneath my seat.upon investigating i discovered that the back left side of my seat had broken loose from the bracket.theleft back of the seat remains disengaged from the seat frame. I went to the nissan dealer today where i purchased the car and was quoted $898.08 for a new seat frame (part # 87450+a) and an additional $153-204 labor for installation.after researching online, i have discovered that this has been an ongoing issue with the murano and that nissan now uses a newly designed part to prevent this from happening.the fact that my seat is not fully attached in my car is very concerning and certainly is a safety issue.i am a bit surprised by the fact that the nissan service department i went to appeared to never have heard of or seen this issue and yet when i went to the parts department, the representative told me that he had quoted for the part 4 times recently.hmmm.
About a week ago i sat down in my 2005 nissan murano and heard a crack and the seat began to rock. I looked under the back of the seat and noticed the seat riser had broken. This surprised me as i am not a heavy guy, i weigh 200 pounds. The seat hasn't seen any damage out of the ordinary wear and tear, and the car has never been in an accident either. I figured it was just a single defect and took it to my dealer to get it fixed. They told me it was going to cost just over $1000 to replace the bracket. They also told me every single murano they have sold has this problem. I got online to see if i could find someone to fix it cheaper and found out not only have many people had there seat break, but in the exact same place. At this point i think this is a safety issue and nissan needs to right it. I can't imagine the outcome for someone if one of these seats break during an accident. Nissan needs to make a bracket with thicker metal and replace all these faulty ones before somebody gets seriously injured because of it.
Nissan murano 2005 : drivers power seat. The drive gear (made of plastic) is stripped by the worm gear (metal). I have spoken with my dealer and nissan north america. They will not assist me with the $1000.00 repair. If nissan would supply just the drive gear this repair could be made easily. They do not have the part. You must buy the entire seat track.
The drivers seat lifter link assembly on my 2005 nissan murano broke.this appears to be a factory desgin flaw that is common in many muranos.this is a serious safety issue and nhtsa should consider ordering nissan to fix the problem on these vehicles thru a recall.it appears without government intervention, nissan is not motivated to do anything about the design and is forcing buyers to cover the cost of the repairs and introduces a serious safety concern.
Driver's side seat broke while driver was operating vehicle.there was no trauma to the vehicle, it has never been in an accident.one moment it was fine, the next i heard a pop and then a cracking sound.the back of the seat listed heavily on the left side, the bottom was no longer secured.it made steering the car very difficult and very dangerous.
The iron bracket on the passenger side of the seat if broken.the dealership stated that it was normal wear and tear.the vehicle (nissan murano 2005) should be able to withstand more that just 2 years of use.i have further proof where other owners of the same vehicle have experienced the same problem on the driver's side of the vehicle.i also had purchase extended warranty on the vehicle and the dealership stated i didn't have it, and it is not covered.i know there is something that can be done.i have contact an attorney for further assistance.
I am the owner of a 2005 nissan murano which currently has 6,700 miles.at at 4,000 miles i noticed the front driver seat started rocking from left to right. I took the car in to the dealership several times and i was told that i have to pay for the repair.after researching the issue online, i realize that hundreds of owners experience the same problem with their driver front seat.i think that this is a very very serious safety issue because if the event of an accident, front on or rear end collision, the driver could be easily ejected from the front seat resulting in an instant fatality.as a responsible citizen, car owner and out of concern from the driving public, i think a recall should be issued for this defect.please see a number of forums reporting the issue.http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f14ec7ahttp://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/forumdisplay/f-66.htmlhttp://www.www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/murano/2005/accessories-interior/seat_is_broken.shtmlhttp://www.my3cents.com/showreview.cgi?id=41775.
My 2005 nissan murano driver's seat popped while at a stop light when i reposition myself in the seat.it was the left rear bracket.in reading several websites, this appears to be an international problem and is possibly a design flaw and could cause serious injury if this happens while in motion.
I was driving north on i-75 in atlanta, ga. My driver's side rear seat bracket broke. I nearly had an accident since the seat shifted and forced me to change my body position unexpectedly. I've felt/looked at the broken bracket then researched it on the internet. It appears this failure is common on my murano, however, nissan hasn't performed a recall to repair the known safety issue. What can be done now, before someone dies from an unexpected seat bracket failure?
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the frame that held the front driver's seat in place fractured while driving. The seat leaned to the side as a result. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the failure was common. No further assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and also offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 104,000 and the current mileage was 105,894.
I am writing in regard to a 2005 nissan murano.the driver's seat support bracket has broken. The seat is loose and rocks and wobbles. A driver cannot sit securely in the seat as it moves while you are driving. In looking under the seat it shows that the left steel bracket has totally broken in half leaving the seat unsupported.i took the car into the dealership and they said it is not covered by nissan, and since we are out of warranty,it will cost $900.00. I cannot afford this so the seat remains broken. I asked the mechanic about it and he said their hands are tied as nissan will not authorize the repair on a recall basis. The mechanic has seen several of these, but he said that ours is the worst one he has seen. Most of the others have just been wobbly, but ours is totally broken. He offered to talk to someone at nissan about it and "go to bat for us". This should be a recall item as more than 8,000 have reported this problem.if there is ever an injury to a driver as a result of a broken seat there will be a law suit that will cost them more than the recall.
Driving to work today i was doing 55mph on the highway when the drivers seat suddenly fell to the left. Had the 3rd lane not been clear there would've been a serious accident due to me pulling left on the steering wheel as i fell back. I seen this has been a problem with muranos. I guess it's going to take the death of a few innocent people before this will be resolved.
I noticed that the drivers seat began making a clicking noise,shortly after that the seat began to rock, it did not feel like it was secured to the car.i brought the car to the dealer and he told me that it was a broken bracket and i would have to buy an entire assembly to fix it for $911.00the dealer also told me that my warranty was upbut would try to see if they would cover it under "goodwill" and that did not work either,i was told to contact nissan north america directly and after a lot of dialog nissan agreed to give me $200.00 towards the repair.i went to a different dealer for a quote and they agreed to do the job for a total of $400,00meaning it would cost me $200.00 out of pocket to fix.i had this dealer fix the car.nissan north america did not agree with me when i told them that this was a design flaw. There are numerous complaints on the net regarding this problem.i feel that there should be a recall on this because the seat can become totally disengaged from the floor if an impact should occur,this could cause thedriver and or other passengers to become injured.additionally,the seat also contains a side impact airbag and seat belts could become useless should the seat dislodge from the floor.i believe that i should be reimbursed forall the money i spent to get this problem diagnosed and repaired as this problem encompasses murano's made from 2003 thru 2007.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while making a slight turn at 20 mph, the front drivers seat shifted to the left in a rocking motion. The contact maneuvered to the side of the road and then resumed driving with caution. The vehicle had not been repaired, but the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000....updated 10/27/11updated 3/30/12
I own a 2005 nissan murano w/ power driver seat. I have found that the seat attach point on the left rear is broken due to a bad design. The seat is attached to the seat rail with approx. A 1 inch x 1/2 inch x.060 thick sheet metal part. There is a 90 degree bend at this point, and this is where it has broken. I have taken picture of the area in question, and can send if needed.with the seat not properly attached to the seat rail and the car, it now is a safety issue. If this part breaks with normal use, i wonder what would happen in a moderate crash. How much more bodily injury is their when the seat is no longer attached to the car during the course of a accidentviewing auto web sites, i see this is a common problem. I believe that nissan should issue a recall for this defect.. I hope you can helpcameron j. Brewer
After buying a used 2005 nissan murano from a ct dealership, 8 months later my driver seat guide went completely bust while driving on the highway. I started feeling more and more loose as i drove and once i got off the highway i was completely thrown from left to right at every slight curve as my seat was completely detached on one side. Even once i made my way to the dealership the part was not ready available, so i have been driving the car in those conditions fearful that the seat my completely come off and i won't be able to see the road ahead of me. Not to mention that the repair is over $ 1,200, and the manufacturer refers to the guide failure to hold the seat a "wear and tear" issue. I found many other complaints like mine all over the internet from other 4 to 5 years old murano owners. Even the service people at the dealership have voiced their opinion about the problem indicating than nissan should issue a recall for this manufacturing defect. What's next? the steering wheels coming off the dashboard becoming a wear and tear issue as well because the manufacturer decides to cut some corners? i should not have sat on the seat? the truth is that there was no event leading to the failure of the part. Not a bump, not a puddle, not an accident, not an abrupt stop, not a fast turn. And by the way, i weigh 185 pounds. How come the rest of the car is practically brand new and this part is completely "worn out'? is it possible that the part may be defective and unreliable? what i know is that without your help i, the consumer, am completely powerless when it comes to holding companies like nissan liable for their mistakes. The nhtsa should correct the problem or companies will do their math very carefully when weighing in profits versus product safety. Unless the manufactures are hold responsible and liable for their mistakes they will keep pushing for lower quality products and less reliable parts that will keep failing and endangering people's safety and comfort.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.the frame of the seat failed, bounced around, and partially collapsed.the seat was repaired.the dealer stated that there were no safety recalls and the contact would be responsible for the repair costs.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 81,000.
Lifter link assembly broke on my 2005 nissan murano. Took the car in for servicing and when i picked it up the seat was broken. The dealership fixed it because it was covered under my extended warranty. Still had to pay the $50.00 deductible, because there was no recall. I understand that i am not the only one who has experienced this problem.
Lifter link slide assembly broke in driver seat under normal conditions at 56k miles.
My husband purchased a new nissan murano in 2005.in 2006 we gave the car to our 16 year old daughter.the vehicle has 23,000 (!) on it.last week she informed me that her seat "moves" when she turns the vehicle.we took the car to crown nissan and was informed that the "lifter link" was broken and would need to be replaced at the cost of $600 parts and $250 labor.i am questioning why a nissan product and at 4 years of age would have a broken seat???after researching this on the internet this appears to be a known problem with previous complaints filed with your office.why has this not been addressed? a seat bracket breaking is not a normal wear & tear item.ican see a pattern developing and certainly you folks must be able to also.how many seats/passengers have been ejected from wrecked vehicles?how people have been hung by their seatbelt in the event of a crash?
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving atapproximately 5 mph around a curve, the drivers seat wobbled abnormally.

Drivers seat rocks side to side when adjusting seat with vehicle in motion, which could creating a loss of vehicle control.
I own a 2005 nissan murano, the drivers seat support bar broke underneath the seat.this is the tube that supports the seat in the front. It is a not a heavy enough material. This is causing the seat to be lop sided and loose. It also rocks side to side which i feel is a safety hazard. If the car was in an accident the seat would completely break off the mounts andcause severe injury to the driver this is a common problem with a large majority of nissan muranos. Please go to nissan murano.org and you will see the amount of people with the same issue. Please look into this as a recall before some innocent person gets killed by nissan for using a material that is not durable enough. I am a mechanical engineer by trade and reviewed the stress calculations for the type of material used and it is not suitable for the purpose. Please do something before it turns into a bad situation for someone.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
My 2005 nissan murano has a defective drivers seat, which broke during a normal drive.the tilting force from the break caused me a strain in my lower back, and lose control of the vehicle.i ran off the road, causing my tires to be severely damaged, needing to be replaced due to cuts and tears in the side wall, and i believe i need a 4 wheel alignment due to the accident. After the accident, i searched the internet and found that this defective seat has been an issue with other owners, and found this article which describes my experience well http://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1548 borrowing from this other owner's issue, i quote "the parts that are defective are: 87458-ar00a - seat lifter linkand 874540ca61a - seat motor assemblythe two numbers listed above are what is specified in the seat repair tsb, but apparently there is an updated part number now for both pieces. Nissan has combined the part into one part number now. Notice the "b" in the part number - most online catalog numbers are ca68a. The new one is ca68b. Apparently the part has been updated again because the old one was still breaking."since this seat now moves back and forth, it is a safety issue that i need to address now.i will pay about $1000 in parts and labor, on top of replacing my tires for $787.96.i will keep the old parts after the seat is repaired for proof.

While driving at approximately 50 mph, while reaching for the radio, i heard a cracking noise under my seat. Something broke loose and me and the seat were thrust violently towards the right! luckily, i did not lose control of the vehicle, but it would have been very easy to as the seat breaking was an unexpected shock. The seat now rocks side to side and has become unstable. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Dealer repaired it the first time and the service tech was aware this problem existed on this model! in a collision, the seat will most definitely break free and launch the driver (and seat) either into the dashboard or towards the rear of the vehicle. This is an extremely dangerous defect and will inevitably cause fatalities.

My driver's seat broke in my 2005 murano (68,000 miles) in the same manner as a number of others drivers have indicated already.the driver seat broke while driving causing me to loose control for a time....very dangerous situation!the driver seat weld came loose on the left side and now rocks back and forth while driving and going around corners.took it to the dealer and they indicated it was a $1000 plus fix!have to replace the entire seat assembly.dealer and even the extended warranty i purchased will not cover this obvious defect and safety issue.will be calling nissan next...but from the looks of other complaints, it will be a waste of time since i haven't heard of nissan helping fix anyone with this issue.i'm afraid that until i get this fixed that the rocking motion will break the last support and cause the entire seat to break loose while driving.know if this is not a safety issue....please tell me what is!!!!
Weld on automated front seat broke.this car has not been in an accident.an accidentwith a loose seat could have been potentially fatal.the local nissan dealer charged several hundred dollar to fix an issue that has happened repeatedly and is an obvious design defect.
Driver's seat frame suddenly broke at left rear corner - allowing seat to fall back and lean sharply to the left.nissan estimates $1000.00+ to replace, with bracket of same design - all at consumer cost.
Upon sitting normally in the driver's seat of my 2005 nissan murano the rear right hand side of the seat frame sheared suddenly. This resulted in the seat now shifting left and right while driving as well as leaning severely when taking a left hand turn. Contacted nissan consumer affairs and filed complaint, awaiting response. Cost of repair at dealership quoted @ $150 for replacement part and $350 for labor + tax. Dealership charged me $70 for daignosis though i could have pointed at the break myself.
Driver seat support frame popped while on the interstate and leaned forward and to the left.this caused me to almost hit another car beside me.now the seat rock is like a rocking chair and moves with the movement on the car.
Driver seat broke from behind. If i seat down the seat wobbles up and down. Structural failure of the anchor/bracket on the left rear side of the driver's seat.same as all the ones in the internet but still not enough for a recall. Nissan is waiting until a couple of people die to take action.i repaired mine but its the same kind so i think this will happen again.i will be taking the old frame to get worked on by a welder to invent something better because their is enough room for a stronger bracket but nissan is only cutting cost with the original design.if you look at the other end of the bracket that always brakes it is stronger. I don't have anything against nissan i have owned 4 nissans and will still keep buying them but something like this.....come on guys don't cut corners.
1. During normal driving seat bracket holding drivers seat to vehicle broke on one corner causing the seat to be unstable during driving.2. Failure occurred one time,but was a risk to driver and passengers when broken.3. Dealer agreed to repair after at first refusing.repair would have been over $300.
My driver side seat in my nissan murano frame cracked.while i was stopping at a stop signed and i thought i was going to go head first in the windshield.i f my kids was in the car then no telling if i lost control or hit my head no telling what would have happened.had no problems with this before and now it seems there is a lot of complaints about the same failure as what i have had here.i have not repaired the seat yet and will not drive the car again until it is repaired.

Got in my car and felt the driver side seat tilt.the arm under the seat broke.this is a common problem as i have been reviewing the internet.although there are no fatalities as of yet, it is a problem nissan is aware of yet will not fix.it costs $500 at my nissan dealer to fix the seat because it is "out of warranty".i know that this probably will just be put in a file but it would be nice if you could do something before some family out there will be missing a family member in death due to a fixable problem that nissan refuses to deal with.

I own a 2005 nissan murano sl awd and earlier this year the drivers seat has started to rock back and forth. My wife is 5'2 and i am 6'2 so there is a need to move the power seat regularly. The seat now sits slightly left to right or right to left. The nissan murano forum has indicated that this has been a problem from the 2003 edition and still continues to be. My car is out of warranty so it would be a $1000 repair out of pocket. This is an unsafe situation and apparently caused by the seat base metal breaking. There are great pictures of this on the forum site. Nissan hasn't recalled this and it is obviously a safety concern.

My airbag lights flash continuously since about 2006 and i was told that it would be a few thousand dollars to replace the sensor, also my check engine light comes on and then goes off. When i took it in they said it could be several things from catalytic converter to an exhaust issue and that it would be trial and error to figure out which would remy the problem. Not to mention my driver side visor wont stay up and my alternator keeps draining my battery so i have to replace yearly. Someone please help.

2005 murano drivers seat welds broke 67,000 miles. Had to be replaced over $800.00 but had extended warranty cost $50. Afraid it will break again.
Back in february, 2008, the driver's seat on my 2005 murano malfunctioned--specifically, the seat was not loose, but all of a sudden would not slide forward on the right side thereby creating a grinding noise and a slight and unnatural swivel of the seat to the left. I took it to the dealership for repair. Part number 87450-ca684 was the "offending" part per my invoice. All other power seat features were operating fine. I asked the service manager what would cause this and he said he didn't know, but they had seen 5 such incidents in the past 2 months. This got me wondering if this was a widespread issue. So, i found a nissan online club of owners reporting seat failures. I have been tracking this for months and now have gotten to the point where i believe this is a serious issue that deserves reporting and nhtsa attention.fortunately,my repair was covered under my extended warranty sans a $50 deductible. But, consistent with all these postings, the service manager indicated this is typically a $700 repair. While i accept that things break, i, too, am disappointed, but as i indicated more and more concerned after reading post after post at this site (please goto http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/webx/.f14ec7a?displayrecent) for all the posts.as an fyi, the broken part is not available.
While driving my 2005 nissan murano on sunday, april 11,201 , i heard something crack and my driver seat collapsed on the left rear. It appears that theseat frame broke. I have approximately 30,000 miles on my vehicle and i feel that this is a serious concern, as i had the presence of mind to pull over as soon as it happened. From an internet investigation, it appears that this is a recurring issue and should be addressed before some dies as a result of an apparent design flaw.
The driver's side seat frame broke while adjusting the seat causing the seat to permanently lean to the left noticeably. The problem occurred after the warranty period and the dealer quoted a $1000 repair cost which i felt should have been covered under a recall. Since then i have learned that it is a problem for thousands of owners with 2003 to 2006 models. Nissan just never owned up to it being a defect. The seat cannot be adjusted properly and it is a major inconvenience when driving.

I own a 2005 nissan murano.the frame on the drivers seat has broken in the back left side.the dealer inspected it and said that although they have seen many of these it isn't recalled and i am out of warranty so they willnot replace it.it is obviously a structural problem.there are thousands of people on line with the same problem.i was quoted $1000 to repair.that seems outrageous to pay when it is a defect in the part the used.
While traveling around an off-ramp, the driver seat made a loud pop sound. According to the dealership the bracket holding the seat to the car has broken loose. Luckily i was not traveling fast and i was able to keep control of the car. I am concerned that others might not be so lucky. This is a common failure of the vehicle according to the reports i have read online.

The seat rocked back and forth causing a safety hazard for me while driving the vehicle.took it to the dealer was told that it would cost approximately $1000 or more to repair.vehicle only had at the time approx 81,000 mls.this defect should be further investigated and a recall issued as it appears to be a manufacture defect with the number of complaints that have been submitted.those who have had this equipment repaired as i have should be properly reimbursed.

Got into the vehical. While adjusting the seat and leaning back, the seat slumped back and to the left. It wobbles now. I feel it is unsafe to drive because the seat is not solid and shifts around as i drive. My wife is disabled and i am a disabled marine combat veteran. We cannot afford a new vehicle or to replace with a new seat. Manufacturer should replace this.

The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.while driving approximately 65 mph the front drivers began to shake.the vehicle was pulled over and upon examination he noticed the seat was detached from the mounting tracks.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where it was confirmed that the front drivers seat detached from the mounting tracks.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 57,000 and the current mileage was 63,000.
The driver seat frame broke under normal use.no unusual stress was placed on the seat to cause it to break.with this in mind, this could be a safety issue while the vehicle is being driven.the back seat frame breaking while being driven could cause an accident if the driver loose control of the vehicle when the seat back breaks; particularly if both sides break at the same time.
I was driving and hit a small bump and the drivers seat broke.it is very dangerous.
As i was driving down the freeway, i felt a snap from under the seat and slightly pulled me down, which caused my foot to release the gas pedal.i was able to maintain control because i am a skilled and experienced driver.i researched the internet and found this website and apparently there is a lot of issues with the driver seat of a 2005 nissan murano similar to mine.nissan needs to prevent a major accident unlike toyota that was not able to on such an insignificant defect.a lot of lives are at risk and they do not need to wait until something tragic happens to act on the issue.
11/27/07 problem: air bag light flashing.(two occurrences)diagnostic conducted 11/25/07 and 11/27/07.at the first service dealer could not determine diagnostic codes and i was asked to bring vehicle in 11/27/07 a complete diagnostic was conducted.according to dealership diagnostic codes the passenger side seat needs to be replaced with costs exceeding $1000.the seats, thus far appear to be in tack.what does seat cushion have to do with airbag or its sensor?the vehicle is less than years 2years new with approx. 51,000 miles.concerns: vehicle safety and proper deployment of airbags.i was informed by dealership that this is common in muranos and pathfinders.if so, why hasn't there been a recall w/o costs to consumer.after reviewing similar complaints submitted by other consumers, it appears to me that safety concerns exists including but not limited to the risks of injury to a passenger.in addition, the actual cause and final repair resolution remains unknown and unresolved. (see other consumer complaint no. 10208537)it is not a coincidence that my vehicle's airbag indicator failed around the same mileage as the other. Who is to say that the airbag will not malfunction in case of accident?(please also see consumer complaint no 10199625 & c.c. No. 10196794)
2005 nissan murano driver's seat bracket broke.
While driving the car, my front seat suddenly broke pitting me towards the driver side window. Seat was leaning toward the driver side window.on wednesday, october 17, 2007 brought my 2005 nissan murano to the nissan dealer located in morristown, nj (open road nissan service department).i was told that the driver side seat frame broke. In order to fix the driver side seat frame of the vehicle, the cost to would be $900 plus dollars. What if i were in an accident - this seat may have been a factor to serious injury.why is a seat frame breaking on a vehicle with 48,500 miles - not yet three years old.i keep my cars for more than 10 years and no vehicle i ever owned did a seat just break.seems to me this is a dangerous situation that needs to be reviewed on nissan muranos. I am very concerned for safety of this vehicle.
The drivers seat on my 2005 nissan murano s is defective. The frame under the seat that holds the seat to the chassis of the vehicle somehow broke off at one of the corners. When sitting in the seat, the seat rocks side to side. I've owned the vehicle since october 2007, and the problem arose about 6 months after owning the vehicle. This issue is very worrying because it feels as if the seat is not held on properly, and feels as if the seat is going to completely come off the frame. I contacted nissan and i was told that the issue will cost about $1,000 to repair because its not covered by nissan. This problem needs to become a recall because the problem seems to affect thousands of nissan murano owners. The problem has gotten worse and worse as time has passed.

The driver seat is loose on the left side. This allows the seat to move back and forth, up and down, and side to side.

While driving my car on the highway, the anchor for my seat on the left side just broke.the seat dropped on the left side and i was left with no support on the left side of my seat. The seat floated up and down as i drove over rough roads.unfortunately it was late at night and i had no recourse but to continue to drive in this most unstable condition.
Well,month ago my wife unlocked the car ,sat inside and start the engine. While she was trying to reverse then front driver seat just collapsed on the left side.well,we find out it is front seat bracket that broke and while i was looking it online find out thata lot of people had same issues with their nissan and never was made to be recall.they charge to fix that between 950-1200 $ .nissan is very much aware of this issue and they did found solution by putting an extra support on the bracket so it's more sturdy.i'm just happy that this did not happen on hwy. That could cause me to cause accident and get hurt me and other people.please take this seriously because we all know this is not something that should happen especially on the driver side driving on major hwy. Or not.

The driver's seat of my 2005 nisssan murano rocks from side to side. It is unstable. I thought it was off track but after looking closely underneath the seat i noticed that the metal bracket that braces the seat was completely broken. The seat is not secured to the car. It is unsafe. I purchased the car brand new; i am the original owner. I went to the local nissan dealer and was told the repair would cost $708 for the replacement part (the entire track would have to be replaced because it is one piece), plus $500 for labor. I declined the repair due to the exorbitant cost and called nissan corporate. I told the company that this was a common defect in their cars (as researched on this site) and requested for the company to cover or reimburse the repair. My call was returned and i was told that i was outside of my warranty and "nissan was not in the position" to cover the repair at this time. They do not recognize it as a fault in their craftsmanship. I disagree. A broken metal piece that secures a seat to the deck is not normal wear and tear and should be a part that lasts for the lifetime of the car.
While i was driving on highwayi45 north i wanted to move my seat back that was when my seat broke; i hit my head on the passenger side window and almost had an accident took it the dealer and they knew exactly what had happen they told me that they have service a lot of muranos for that same reason. Cost 995.00 plus tax.
1. 2005 nissan murano - everyday use led up to the failure.2. The seat bracket on the driver side has broken or sheared off at a point and this causes the seat to rock back and to the left dramatically while driving.3. Nissan refused to cover under warranty, and with the part costing $750, it is yet unfixed.
The driver's seat frame bracket that keeps the seat in its proper place and orientation to the steering wheel broke.this resulted in the seat suddenly falling toward the drivers side door.it is almost impossible to drive the vehicle in this condition and it is impossible to drive the vehicle in a safe manner in this condition.
Nissan '05 murano power driver's seat broken several time i took it the first time to the dealer and got it fix for $1200 than broke again last month i reported the issue with nissan but they wont resolve the issue. I think it is a very serious issue that should be taking care off. God for bet i get to an accident i could easily fly out of the car. This is a bad safety issue and need to pay attention to.
On july 31, 2010, the driver's seat on my 2005 nissan murano made a popping sound, and suddenly started leaning to the left.a few miles later, there was another popping sound, and the seat started rocking left and right, and was very unstable.i took it to the dealer's service department today, and they told me the seat frame was broken and that it was a common problem for this 2005 nissan murano.the seat breaking unexpectedly is a serious safety problem, as it causes the seat belt to be incorrectly adjusted and can be too tight or too loose.also, if this broke when i was driving on the freeway, i could have easily lost control of my car as the seat lurched to the left.if you do a google search for "2005 nissan murano seat frame", you can find hundreds if not thousands of complaints about this exact issue.nissan refuses to repair the seat, even under extended warranty, and they won't issue a recall.this is a known manufacturing / mechanical defect, and it should be repaired at no cost to the vehicle owner.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. When she took the vehicle to the dealer for routine maintenance the dealer noticed that the drivers seat bracket was broken and that it was previously welded.the estimated cost to repair the seat bracket was $600.00.the failure and the current mileage was 40,000.
2005 nissan murano.driver's seat rear left bracket is broken.it is a small, thin, l-shaped bracket that is broken in two places.the seat is no longer "attached" to the frame (on this corner) and the seat rocks when you sit in it and as you are driving it.there was no crash and both drivers of this vehicle weigh less than 200 lbs, so over-stressing is not a problem.this occurred in august of 2009 and it has not yet been repaired.the dealership wants $910 for the repair or $700 for the part alone.i am concerned that if there is a crash, the seat will not remain attached to the car.
Going 40 mph, suddenly i heard a crack noise, and drivers seat became unstable, wiggly. Before pulling overi needed to make a turn, and that was dangerous- entire left side of the seat elevated during a turn.as it was explained later by nissan dealership my car experienced drivers seat frame assembly failure. Which is not considered a safety issue?!?! i would like to see someone safely drive my car, especially doing u turns!! the seat cannot be fixed in the desired position, it moves around like i am operating my car on a kitchen stool.
Left seat initially stopped front to back movement. The right side would try to move but left would not move.yesterday the seat broke loose on the left side.repair estimate is $1000.00.after spending time on line, it has come to my attention that this a well documented problem.i understand a safety bulletin has been issued but nissan has not issued a recall for this issue.i believe this to be a serious safety issue as this part could break in an accident and cause serious injury to the driver.
The drivers front seat broke on my wife's 2005 nissan muranowhile she was driving at 55 mph. The seat started rocking back and forth. She was able to make it home as she was only 3 miles away. The car has32,600 miles.
Drivers seat leans to the left, seems like this is a very well known problem for this car.
I have a 2005 nissan murano that has had issues with the driver's side seat.there is a metal bar under the seat that breaks.evidently this is a problem with many other owners of this year of vehicle and it doesn't make much sense that this is not part of a recall yet.this is very dangerous to be driving around with.i worked with my local nissan dealership and they have had several customers with this same problem and they charge close to $1000 to repair.i have gone directly to nissan to see if this would be something they would help cover the costs on since it is obviously a manufacturer defect, and one that has now been corrected on newer models, but they will not assist at all with the main reason being that i'm outside of my warranty.i'm very frustrated because i have taken great care of my vehicle.it currently only has about 65,000 miles on it.i am not an overweight person so that is not a contributing factor to this problem.i feel that if i were in a motor vehicle accident with my broken seat that would be extremely dangerous and maybe at that point nissan would issue a recall on this problem but until that time their customers are left to pay $1000 in repairs for a faulty part on their vehicle that they're clearly aware of.i'm hoping you can help rectify this problem with nissan.thank you for your time.
Bought it used. Drivers seat had problems from the beginning had it in to have them fix it then it started acting out again. Would run the motor and move the seat when you powered off. I asked them 60 days ago to look at it again they said i needed a new 2300.00 seat. Tonight it just broke with left side falling back. So after reading up i see i am not alone evidently it has welds that break. So they had to of known there was problems then to try and sell me a whole new seat last trip in. I'm furious, because i have to take my husband up for radiation treatments 'this 'week and won't be able to use the car. Recall the problem nissan do the right thing. I love my murano but don't disappoint off your customers like this. It's un-american.

Front seat broken on driver's side.the front seat driver frame has broken in 2 places making the seat a safety hazard.my wife and i are the only drivers of our 2005 murano se.it has 6 way electric seats.now we have to lower the seat to the floor in order to stabilize the seat.otherwise the seat assembly & frame will end up breaking completely off at the frame. My local mechanic says he's never seen a seat frame break at 2 places like ours.i have not contacted nissan as of yet to see if this is under warranty or not but you would think the seat assembly would last for the lifetime of the vehicle.i weigh 230 pounds and my wife weighs approx. 185 no one has ever driven our vehicle but us other than garage repairmen.i found a web site that has a detailed drawing of the seat and mechanism that is broken.the web site is www.nissanpartswarehouse.com then go to "seats and tracks" then "tracks and components" then "connector rod adjuster" click on "view illustration" and it is part #1 in the drawing.this part bolts directly onto the vehicle frame chassis.the part is broken at 2 places on the front connection.the breaks are where the rod connects to the right and left sides of this part.i can send you a diagram if you will send me an e-mail where i can attach this diagram.here's the complete web site address below.http://www.nissanpartswarehouse.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getjointlocator&siteid=214315&chapter=§ionids=0,51873&groupid=51876&subgroupid=3241&componentid=2666&make=25&model=murano&year=2005&catalogid=2&displaycatalogid=0i've been to a few other web sites and noticed other people who have murano's that have also experienced broken driver seat assemblies. Thank you for your time.
Driver seat collapsed on rear while driving.the base frame is a square that has a horizontal bar on the back and that broke on the left rear side that resulted in dipping on that side when seated and driving.this is unsafe !!no reason any metal that should have been welded should brake off
2005 nissan murano drivers seat has come loose off of the base, rocks more than 40 degrees off of base. Normal usage, normal weight person (180lbs, 6"4).
Left rear drivers seat of my 2005 nissan murano se awd broke.heard a load "snap," then the seat dropped to the left rear.the seat now rocks and cannot be properly positioned.the car has 55,000 miles on it, is in terrific condition, and i literally bought out my lease 48 hours ago!i understand that nissan will not make these repairs since the warranty has expired.i am also learning that this is a repeated problem plaguing 2005 and 2006 muranos.this is a safety issue and a design flaw that should be covered under recall.
Driver seat of 2005 nissan murano at first was creaking when i sat in the seat now rocks from front right to back left seat corners as if on unlevel surface.brought to nissan in creaking phase they refused to look at it as warranty issue now its broken and i out of warranty.
This is a safety issue that affects all 2005 nissan muranos.the drivers seat support has a design flaw making the vehicle unsafe to drive, the flaw is in the design and construction of the driver's seat support.it makes the support support so fragile that it breaks, thus disconnecting the seat from the seat rail.this support will break during an accident, or suddenly, without warning, while the car is in motion.if broken during an accident, the seat will not perform acceptably as part of the safety restraint system;(the safety restrain system is comprised of the seat, the seat belts, and the airbags.they work together to minimize injury in the event of an accident.with the seat loose, the entire system's function is fatally compromised); aggravated injuries or unnecessary death may result.if the failure occurs while driving, the design flaw could cause an accident.in my car, the seat broke while driving at slow speed, making a left turn in a residential area. There was no warning, just an noise, and the seat suddenly was loose.i took it in for repairimmediately, the mechanic stated that he has seen several of these recently,nissan is stonewalling customers on this, the repair is very expensive.thus many are choosing to continue to drive their car with the seat broken, in order to avoid the high cost of repair.this represents a growing population of unsafe vehicles on the road.as stated above, these vehicles are not only unsafe for their owner/drivers, they also represent a risk to others sharing the road.
The left side of the drivers' side seat started moving up and down - the bracket that attached it to the floor of the car snapped so the left side bounces up and down.this is primarily my sons car and it seems like a safety issue for me - moving while driving, and less stable in an accident.it looks from nissan forums that this is a very common problem with nissan muranoyet it is not a recall.
Driver seat is broken and moves on it's own while vehicle is in motion.
The drivers side seat frame broke causing the seat to be unstable during braking. I contacted the nissan dealer at the time and he stated it was not covered under the warranty and recommended i find someone to weld the seat frame.
Driver seat back left bracket connected to the frame is broken. My driver seat now sways back and forth while driving and is very uncomfortable on my back. It is a serious safety hazard while driving. This a very common problem that nissan should fix by ensuring a recall for their costumers.
The metal frame on the power drivers seat has broken, causing a rocking-chair affect. While this is only moderately dangerous as it is now, the other pair of welds (assuming they are welds) on the seat frame can snap causing the seat to break free from the frame. A quick search on the internet finds that there are numerous nissan murano owners w/ the same issue.. And nissan dealerships are not repairing under warranty, but making "good will adjustments" if the individual dealership is so inclined. In my opinion this is a significant safety risk and needs to be looked into. Thanks.
2005 nissan murano- driver's left rear seat mount failed causing seat to sway during turns and breaking. Seat mounts likely to totally fail in crash situation. Numerous incidentsknownfrom internet search for similar failures on this make and model vehicle.
Driver seat left rear bracket broke. Seat leans to the left and is only secure in 3 of the four corners . Seat easily lifts off of the left rear. Seems like a serious problem if an accident was to occur. With all the complaints on the same issue i cannot believe this has not already been a recall.
After going over a speed hump, i felt my seat fall to the left side with a load braking sound.looked and saw bracket was broken in two spots.(driver side seat 05 murano se) no prior problems to this happening.
Driver's seat adjuster assembly failed. The seat shifts when hittin g a bump. It also moves when entering the vehicle. This is a safety issue.the dealer told me my extended warranty does not cover it. This part should be on a recall, and car owner should not have to be responsible for it.
Nissan murano drivers seat defective - while driving my murano last year, the seat weld in front broke causing the seat to lean excessively and almost causing me to have an accident as i was driving.the nissan dealer said it was a common nissan defect but since there was not a recall i would have to pay for the repair. I paid my mechanic to weld the front break and to include additional support braces. On tuesday of this week, while pulling into a parking lot at 5pm, a different seat weld in the back broke causing the seat to lean to the right while cornering left. Because of the extreme and sudden movement i lost control of the car, rolled across lanes and up onto a curb, almost taking out 4 people sitting at an outside table at the local glory days restaurant. I could not reach the brake pedal because of the angle. Luckily, i did not hurt anybody or damage anything other than possibly throwing a wheel weight off of the front right tire. From visiting many murano owner forums, i see that literally hundreds and hundreds of owners have had a similar experience with these welds breaking and have been told the same thing by their local nissan dealerships "it's out of warranty and unless a recall is put out, you're paying close to $1000 for the fix".a manufacturers or design defect that almost caused me to run over 4 people yesterday should indeed be a concern of nissan and it seems that it is not.any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
I proceeded to drive from a traffic light, when my driver's seat collapsed on the left side.i immediately went to my selling dealership to inquire since my vehicle was unsafe at that point.the dealership confirmed that this is a common problem with the nissan muranos, however no recall and costly to repair.on monday 8/8/11, i contact nissan consumer affairs to inquire of this issue and received the worst customer experience of my life.i had no choice but to schedule a diagnostic test which costs 70 dollars for nissan corporate to review the report before assisting further.is nissan waiting for death or serious injury before helping their customers?
Ref complaint #[xxx]of 9/8/10. Driver seat collapse/nissan murano; tues 9/7/10.this is a follow-up because i am understanding that this issue was reported before and simply "dropped" byyour department.this is a "safety issue" which could have been disastrous had the seat collapsed when our daughter (short and tiny) was driving the vehicle a few days earlier on a trip from springfield to richmond va. Thank god she did not encounter the problem then.the support for the seat broke! we have the part.this should not have happened and nissan should take responsibility for the replacement. People are "welding" the part back: what happens if that should break and an accident occurs? one should not be encouraged to take this route!! we would hope that your department would take this seriously and have nissan recall these vehicles for a total refit of the seat before catastrophe happens.thank you.

I own a 2005 nissan murano with just over 80,000 miles with power seats.the driver's side seat bracket is broken and i am told it will cost nearly $1000 to repair.this is a safety issue and a manufacturer's defect.my vehicle was not involved in a collision or other event that would cause the seat to fail.
My driver's side seat no longer operates with the powered seat adjustments, and is stuck in one position.at first, it would veer to the right, but now is stuck in one position that is not the best position for me, causing me concern for my safety on the road.when i had it looked atthe nissan dealership, they informed me that the cost would be @ $1000.as i researched on-line, i see several complaints about the very same thing. This needs to be recalled and fixed to avoid accidents.
There were no accidents or incidents.it just snapped .drivers front seat frame is broken on left side.we were told there is nothing that can be done except replace the part which costs over $700.00 for parts plus labor. After checking the nissan usa blog, it seems this is not uncommon and is a safety issue. Nothing has been done to fix this problem by the dealership.
The driver seat broke off it,s base. While turning right, i could actually feel my body lift. Nissan denied my claim for repair because the car was 3years old. I took the car to the closest shop to have it repaired forsafety reasons. The base was ordered from continental nissan and replaced at a cost of $972. I filed a claim with nissan corporation. It was denied on aug 28th primarily because i took the car to an independent repair shop. There was no way that i could have driven an unsafe car for 4months until that decision was made.
My driver's seat suddenly became more like a rocking chair. When i accelerate i tilt backward letting my foot come slightly off the pedal. The resulting hesitation of the vehicle makes me rock forward causing my foot to then hit the pedal and lurch the vehicle forward! what would happen should i get in an accident and the entire seat come loose ?
My seat is loose due to failure of the 8 way adjustable control that is a major safety issue and that was repaired by nissan 2 time ones when the car was 2 years old and recently i paid to have it repaired.nowi have the same issue and the dealer indicated that they now have a better control at 2 times the cost.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while parked, the front driver seat bracket fractured and the seatrocked from side to side. The contact also stated that the air bag warning light illuminated and started flashing. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing.

My step daughter adjusted my seat, and shortly afterward the seat broke lose from the mountings.
2005 nissan murano driver seat frame has broke in the left rear corner.
The drivers seat frame is made with plastic parts and it breaks in half. Drivers seat then becomes loose and completely unstable. This is the first time i have had to replace the frame. The part is $750 without install. According to the blog posts this is a know problem with the nissan muranos 2003-2006. Wish i would have looked that up before buying the car!
Driver seat lifter assembly weld broken. Was $400 to repair. I have seen in numerous forums that this problem is very common with nissan muranos. How can you trust that the car will be safe in a crash if the drivers seat welds are prone to failure.
My 2005 nissan murano has a broken front seat frame.the dealership says it will cost me $900 to fix.i had noticed a lot of "creaking noises" over the last several months and thought it was a squeaky spring in the seat.i was going to have them look at it during a service appointment next week, but as i was driving yesterday, the seat basically came apart and was rocking to the left side , especially noticeable as i made a left hand turn.it felt as if i was going to fall right out of my seat.this is very dangerous and i am unable to drive the car based on this issue.the dealership said there is nothing else that they can do and that it is not covered under warranty.after reading on a chat line (see below)http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f14ec7a/0i realize that this issue is very widespread amongst other murano owners and they share in the same concerns as myself.bottom line is, is that my car is undriveable at this point!
2005 nissan murano the driver seat bar under the seat snapped as i was driving it.
Power drivers side seat in nissan murano 2005 jammed on the right side after 50,000 miles.
I was driving my 2005 nissan murano; all of a sudden i heard something snap/break in my car seat and the seat fell back; i grabbed the steering wheel real tight so i wouln't loose control of the vehicle;the seat is very loose and the left side of the seat leans against the inside of the car. There was no warning, just a breaking metal sound; not a single problem prior to this sudden break.
The driver's seat of my 2005 nissan murano rocks from side-to-side andthe left side of the seat sits lower. Took the car in to the dealership, they said that the weld broke on the seat frame of the drivers seat.fixing this is not covered by any of nissan's warranties.cost of repairs:$607.81 for a new seat, $321 for labor and $35 to expedite the shipping of the part (only have one car in the family, waiting 5 days was not an option).
While turning a corner the seat mount (driver's side) broke causing the seat to immediately slant to the left.luckily i was only traveling at a relatively slow speed, had i been on the highway, passing a truck this equipment failure could have potentially caused a serious accident, as i would have no doubt been distracted and tried to fix or adjust the seat.apparently this is a common failure for this vehicle due to the low quality parts being used.nissan should take ownership of this problem especially when the vehicle is one of their more expensive ones currently in their inventory.
Driver seat in nissan murano fails suddenly while driving - bracket in seat becomes unwelded.almost caused a crash when it failed.nissan is aware of this defect and refuses to recall.definite safety issue.
Broken drivers seat frame - nissan murano.
My power seat on my 2005 nissan murano came loose and lifts up when turning a corner.the dealer where i bought the new car said the entire power seat bracket is broken and is unsafe.the cost to repair it is $1,000.00.my car is just out of warranty, but i feel they should cover this safety issue.they refused.i feel this repair should be covered because it is obviously a manufacturing defect.
My drivers seat in my 2005 nissan murano failed while driving down the road.i was going around a turn and something popped and now the seat rocks back and forth on the left rear of the seat.notvery safe having a seat that rocks while driving and broke while driving.luckily i was able to get back on the road when it broke.it is very scary to have it break as you drive.
Driver's side seat frame broke on exterior side.angle bracket with hinge pin snapped in (2) two places.
Nissan murano 2005 front driver seat has come loose on one side, is lopsided and rocks back and forth while car is in motion,while turning,braking and when it comes to a stop. Even while you are wearing your seat belt you have no safety restraint as your body is projected forward and sideways from your seat while driving. I weigh 170 and my wife, who is the primary driver weighs 125 lbs. During one driving incident,my wife was averting a tree limb on the road and made a quick, but slow turn only to be jostled to the side of the car and hitting her head on the driver window. Luckily she was not injured as the turn was minimal.nothing extraordinary happened to lead to the seat break. One day my wife sat in the seat and noticed it felt funny. The seat repair is not under warranty. Cost of repair would be upwards of $1200. An amount we cannot afford. *ln
2005 nissan murano- drivers seat frame-
The nissan murano driver seat bracket has cracked like every other person on this list has stated while my daughter was driving to and from work which she drives daily only 14 miles round trip.she goes between 30-45 miles per hour and while this crack occurred she was going about 35on a city street, she didn't loose control but the car did veer off to the side as who would expect your seat to partially collapse. Thank goodness the road was empty and she has no traffic to combat with. The nhtsa should care of the chance of death or accident from occurring not just what has happened, the complaints have been stated as being high by the nhtsa. Clearly nissan usa should be liable if there are so many complaints that it is clear they have used a faulty part.a recall should be issued and protection for the consumers who have invested or chosen these car should be a priority not protection of big business. This is a component that shouldn't break if a properly constructed bracket was used.having had 7 cars over my life from ranging in age from 20 years old to brand new none of them have ever had this issue and i am appalled that no one, not nissan or the nhtsa cares about a poorly constructed product that is not what the consumer paid for and could lead to potential injury.i guess some more people have to get hurt or die for the nhtsa to care, quite sad when you look at it this way.
Broken drivers seat on 2005 nissan murano sl awd.seat rocks back and forth.vehicle brought to baysate nissan in springfield, ma in may 2008.told repair would cost $995.00 - extended warranty would not cover seat repair.
The contact a 2005 nissan murano. When entering the vehicle he noticed that the drivers seat fell backwards into the rear seat. The contact then proceeded to pull the seat up but it would not stay in place. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer who confirmed that the seat was broken. The estimated repair cost was 1,000. No repairs have been made and the manufacturer will be notified. The contact is aware of the safety risk since the driver and passenger seat could fall backwards without warning and possibly cause a crash. The failure mileage was 61,007 and the current mileage was 61,010.
Back brace of driver seat snapped. Apparently widespread problem and i'm reporting mine. Luckily this didn't happen while vehicle was being driven.
While making a left turn in my 2005 nissan murano, my seat suddenly "popped" and shifted to the left and dropped a few inches and landed against the door. The frame assembly had broken and i nearly struck a pedestrian. I discovered that the frame assembly of the seat had fractured.going online i noticed that this is a very common problem with the murano and from the looks of it many, many nissan owners have the same problem. I hope someone doesn't have to be killed or seriously injured from this obvious manufacturer's defect before the nhtsa orders a recall.
2005 nissan murano driver seat defect : bracket on the frame's suddenly brokenthe part number from nissan local shop : 87450ca68b the failure not fixed yet bc too expensive $950 ...
My 2005 nissan murano had it's driver's seat track break while driving. The seat suddenly fell to the left causing the vehicle go into the oncoming lane of travel as my hands also moved toward the motion of the seat. I found that the seat track weld had broken from its frame support.
While driving in a garage at low speed, my driver side seat suddenly snapped, and tilted down to left. Now when i drive, the seat rocks both side to side & front to back, and is very unstable. I worry the other side will snap under the stress of the motion, and my seat will no longer be connected to the car. Already i can feel the motion of the seat from my seatbelt, and honestly it is a little hard to steer when my body isn't stable.i realize an investigation was already done into this matter a few years ago which was closed because there was not evidence of harm due to the manufacturing problem.must someone be injured before nissan will take responsibility for this?there are almost 300 complaints registered on this site alone for this problem, and the dealers seem to be making about $1000 for each repair so i doubt they will do anything about it.
The driver's seat on my 05 murano moves forward when braking, and moves backward when accelerating. Play in the seat is approximately 3/4". The movement occurs 100% of the time and has been getting worse over time. The nylon drive gear is worn. The dealer claims it is a safety issue and has to be replaced, but they require replacement of the entire seat frame. The cost is $1100.
Driver seat bracket broke unsafe in the event of accident or quick braking.why would a seat break shouldn't last as long as the car? dealers won't fix as a warranty issue.
Seat bracket broke causing seat to wobble side to side, weakening other points of attachment. I had the seat bracket welded twice so far and it has rebroken twice. Internet research revealed that these brackets break very frequently in 2003-2008 nissan muranos, even those with very low mileage. Nissan recognizes that this is a faulty design, as their replacement part is much stronger and totally different, yet no recall. Quite a safety issue when your seat comes loose while you are driving! seats should not disconnect from the car with normal wear. I weigh 170 pounds, not above average for a full grown adult driver.
I purchased my murano in jan 2013, the incident occurred in march 2013.my husband and i were driving last sunday.as he was approaching a stop sign we heard a loud 'pop' under the driver's seat, we thought it was a spring or something.upon getting home he discovered that the rear left bracket of the driver's seat had broken.i took it to the dealership the next morning and they told me to call nissan north america (800-nissan-1).i filed a claim and they called me back to inform me that they would be unable to replace the seat frame because the car is beyond factory warranty.the dealership quoted me $1000 to replace the broken bar.i bought the murano when i was 9 months pregnant, in fact, i had my son a week after buying the vehicle.my husband wanted me to be in a bigger car, a safer car for me and my newborn.i'm upset that the seat broke, in my mind there are two things in a car that should never break: the seats and the seatbelts, but i'm disappointed that nissan is not taking care of their customers and fixing the problem.since this happened i have researched the broken seat and there are entire forums devoted to this incident!i've been a nissan driver for nearly 10 years, this will be the last make of their car that i purchase.
The driver side seat has come off the track on my 2005 nissan murano.upon further examination, the seat now lifts on the rear left side which is unsafe and unstable when driving.i have read forums on the internet and i see that this has happened to many nissan murano owners causing me to report this complaint.
The driver seat frame,the left side bracket broke loose, causing the seat to drop down and become unstable.
2005 nissan murano - i was drivingand left side of drivers seat all of a sudden popped & sagged & i felt seat move around like it wasn't attached to base.it was very scary to drive it - i took it to the nissan dealer & they said a new seat frame would be $1300 but they could weld it for $350.my car only has 29,800 miles. Looking at all the similar complaints on the internet, i 'm wondering why nissan hasn't issued a recall for this.
This is the second time the driver's seat bracket has broken. The first time, we shamed the local nissan dealer to fix it, but this was only temporary as the seat has just broken again. We contacted nissan but they said we are on our own. Air bag light is supposedly linked to this issue as well. Also contacted nissan about this and escalated all the way to north american hq to no avail. It appears that nissan would rather take their chances on law suits than have their customers safely drive their products. After purchasing at least 10 nissan products over the past 30 years i will never purchase another.forever is a long time.
Drivers seat is off hinge. Took it to nissan for review. They said it's not covered under warranty due to mileage. Known issue for seat to break on welded left corner but will cost over $1000 out of pocket to fix. Had nissan customer service investigate, they refused to cover as well. Faulty seat known issue and cannot get them to pay to fix it.
My drivers front seat is wobbly and loose.my mechanic says the base is cracked and needs to be fixed.he was told by nissan that other muranos have the same problem but not under warranty and they will not pay for it to be fixed.this is a structural problem and very dangerous in the event of a crash.
I was driving my 2005 nissan murano when we hit a bump and my drivers seat dropped, after i got home ichecked and the metal seat frame had cracked on the left rear side of the drivers seat. I worry because if this happened during an accident the seat would offer no support to the driver and could even hurt the passengerbehind the driver. I have called nissan usa and told me to get a report from dealership and there was no recall
The following is what i wrote to nissan regarding my broken driver's seat chair (left side) in my 2005 nissan murano:i am a science teacher, and as i drove home from school on friday feb 27th, 2009. I heard a snap, and suddenly felt a drop in the driver seat in my 2005 murano. Given the drastic drop, i had no option but to swerve into the next lane, nearing collision with another vehicle. I was panicked but managed to negotiate to the exit of the freeway. I put myself, my passenger who carpools, and others on the road in serious danger. I am sure you would agree this is a manufacturers issue and extremely unsafe (http://www.safercar.gov/). This morning i made an appointment with cerritos nissan, where i purchased my vehicle and spoke to tod and ed, the service managers, in person. They informed me that they had never seen or heard of this issue, and that is extremely rare and uncommon. Yet, after doing some research on your website and other valid sources, i found frequent complaints that identified the exact same problem. Ed has advised me to contact you for assistance and that he is willing to honor replacement of the defective parts at no cost to me should the nissan corporation handle this problem. My family has purchased over 8 nissan vehicles over the last 10-15 years, and this problem has never happened before. My car is no longer drivable given the circumstance and now my carpool member and i are relegated to public transportation, or rent a vehicle. The extra cost on our teacher's salary is not acceptable. We work very far and start at 5:30 in the morning. In addition, we sometimes must leave work late. Obviously, this is extremely disturbing. Please contact me as soon as possible at home ormy cell. Your expedited attention to this matter is appreciated. Thank you.
The air bag indicator light is flashing in the dash again. I had this problem fixed once before while still under warranty at the north little rock dealership. On leaving the garage within just a mile, i made a left turn and heard a crunching noise in the steering column and it came back on. I went strait back and they said they would fix it but the (second replacement part) wouldn't be in till the next day so i was given a loaner for one day.now it's back on again.also noted shortly after the warranty expired that the lumbar support on the drivers side no longer inflates/deflates and hasn't worked since. I have had all recalls fixed and had to replace the battery at 37,000 miles at my cost. Also had to have the dealership resurface both front rotors and replace a rear caliper under warranty that had locked up 1 & 1/2 years ago. I see that the front rotors are in need of resurfacing again even though the break pads have 1/2 of there wear left to go. Due to the highly chromed /curved dipstick, getting an accurate oil level reading is not possible at any time, so the dipstick has only been removed three time since purchasing it as it is a pointless endeavor. I own six autos that range in age from 1972 threw this 2005 murano and of all of them, the murano is the least trusted one. I will never own another nissan.
Front driver seat has broken off of track, and moves/rocks during driving causing safety issue.1000 to repair.,nissan will not fix defect, and charged me additionally just to look at it( couldn't afford the fix at $1000).attached website indicate 149 complaints on the exact same thing to date. Need help to get this very dangerous defect resolved. Number of complaints can be found at www.mycarstats.com.need help.
I own a 2005 nissan murano.while driving, i heard a snapping sound and then the left side of my driver's seat began to lean towards the driver's door.the seat was very loose and each time i went around a curve or came to a stop the seat would shift dramatically. I took it to the dealer who said that this is a common problem with the murano.they have even published a service bulletin to their maintenance and repair departments on this matter.however, the part is not covered under any of the vehicle warranties and they wanted approx. $1200.00 in parts and labor to replace the broken part, which turns out to be a weld in the driver's seat frame.i opted to take my vehicle to another repair shop, where they welded my existing seat frame back together for a cost of $100.00.i feel that if nissan is aware that they have a problem that occurs often enough for them to alert their service dept. Of the matter that they should issue a recall on their defective parts.
2005 nissan murano, driving and drivers seat frame broke and seat and i fell back; seems to be a common design failure, but nissan said no recall, is an expensive dangerous failure. Nissan fixed at $1150, may try to weld.

I bought my son an 2005 nissan murano last year. Just recently his drivers seat track has broken in the farthest back position it can go. It is now a safety concern for me to drive. I can not reach the gas pedal and brake safely. I did some research and found that many many people have had the same problem and that nissan would not fix it because their were no injuries as of yet.... Injuries or not this is a defective product and they should make it right !! i contacted nissan directly and just like everyone else they will not do anything about it. I am a single mom still paying on this car i can't afford $1,000.00 to replace the seat. Why can't someone make this company do the ethical thing and replace the broken part????? we work hard for our money and there should be someone out there to protect the consumer not the major corporations ! what has happened to this country ? there is no integrity anymore just greed. I for one will tell everyone i know how nissan handled this as well as i will never never buy nissan again. Toyota ahd honda will always get my business because they stand behind their product. I drive a honda and even though my vehicle was out of warranty i had a piston seal issue in my motor and they fixed it free of charge and made it like new again. Thanks for nothing nissan you suck !! my son was getting into the car, sat in the seat and all of a sudden he felt the left side of the seat drop down. It will not move forward or backward only slightly sideways. It is now useless to me being i am only 5'5 my son is 6'2 and only 148lbs. It was not from his weight, it is from a faulty metal.
Driver seat wobbles around, seems to be broken.happened with regular use.safety issue that appears to happen with many other 05 muranos and possibly other year models.ongoing.
Sitting in murano heard a crack noise from below the seat and seat falls sideways with driver leaning against the driver's side window. After close inspection - the metal anchor that secures the seat frame to the car has broken - metal welding is broken.i can no longer safely drive the car as it is not secured to the floor.nissan customer service says there is not a recall, dealership says it will cost me over $400.
The drivers seat frame broke for no apparent reason. The vehicle has never been wrecked.

As i entered the car, and transferred my weight to the seat the left rear area of the seat dropped down suddenly.had this occurred suddenly during driving, the tendency to pull on the steering wheel tobalance and regain a normal driving position could create a circumstance where the vehicle would swerve.i was unaware of this defect potential in the vehicle, despite having owned it since new.on looking at the failure point, and reviewing the defect, the seat frame (manufacturers weld point) has failed at precisely the same point that many users have reported on vehicle forums.this appears to be a defect associated with cyclic loading, differentially applied on the left side of the seat due to the entry process.clearly it is a manufacturers defect. Nhtsa should seriously consider this for further review...an inspection campaign, modificationor recall may be appropriate.
I have a broken seat track that when i stop it put me in to the steering wheel. This is the 2nd time this has happened it was replaced on august 19 2011 and nissan payed $500 toward the replacement and now it has broken again. This is a very unsafe common problem with this car as seen on the nissan message boards.
2005 nissan murano- driver's side seat frame snapped at the weld and entire seat now teters back and forth diagonally.car was only 4 yrs old when it happened.girlfriend's car is same model/yr and same happened to her this year (nissan looked at it and did nothing).this is an absolute safety hazard and an obvious factory defect/design flaw.nissan should have recalled this but is doing nothing for its customers.is it gonna take personal injury due to a car accident or even the loss of an innocent person's life for nissan to consider this a hazard?
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the front driver seat bracket fractured and the seat rocked from side to side. The dealer was notified who stated that the seat bracket would have to be replaced. The seat was not repaired.the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000. Mw
The drivers seat bracket failed and the seat is unstable, leaning to the left. The seat actually moves while you are sitting in it. I believe this is very dangerous. The car was bought new, and the repair cost is in excess of $1000.what guarantee is there that the replacement seat will not fail as well.it appears that this is not an isolated problem.
The front bracket of the driver seat seems to have broke and the seat lifts to the side while i'm driving. It also lifts a little while i get in the car. Same problem documented here http://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/66-problems/1548-driver-s-seat-30.html
Drivers seat rocks to the left. Was informed by jim mills nissan that the seat track was bad, $716 to replace. Not covered under extended warranty. This was on aug.22, 2007. Filed a complaint with nissan. Now were having problems with drivers side sunvisor falling down while your driving and passenger door lock not securing all the way. The lock mechanism will go part of the way and stop. All of the items above are safety issues that need to be addressed by nissan. Yes, i purchased the extended warranty.
1. The events leading up to the failure. - all i did was sit on the seat and raise it to a different height.2. The failure, how often it occurs, its consequences; and, - the metal frame broke underneath the seat resulting in the drivers seat rocking back and forth. 3. What was done to correct the failure; i.e, parts repaired or replaced (and if old part is available) nothing at this time, the dealer wants over 1,000 dollars to replace the seat frame.i'm considering welding the seat at this time.
2 incidents1)both driver and passenger side sun visors will not stay up completely causing issues during driving (falling into driver's view while driving).i have never had this issue with any other car i've owned (honda, ford, chevy, toyota).average replacement cost per visor is ~$200.00 which is a little steep.2)when car reached 104,000 miles, the driver's seat rear left bracket cracked.this occurred while making a right turn from a stop.date of occurrence is may 4, 2013.after researching this online, i found several nissan muranos have this issue.the left rear support was not designed for long term application and is a flawed design.i also found someone that welded their bracket together from youtube which may be the route i may take if a recall is not implemented.average replacement cost of driver's seat track assembly (heard they will not replace just the bracket) is ~$700.00.i also heard there have been accidents due to this design flaw, though cannot confirm.my hopes are you're looking into this.
2005 nissan murano. Seat bracket that anchors drivers' seat to car has broken -allowing seat to rock and move freely while driving. This is a serious defect in the vehicle and apparently very common from the information that i have found. The fact that the driver's (or any seat for that matter) would not remain attached to the vehicle through every day use is a huge cause for concern.not only a hazard to driver (especially in event of accident)- but also to passengers in the vehicle. This car is not able to pass inspection and is totally unsafe to drive in its current condition. Someone is going to have an accident,be killed or seriously injured if this known defect is not resolved. Nissan apparently is not going to do much about the situation on their own and thus we must rely on nhtsa to make them correct the problem. Using cheap brackets/plastic parts to anchor seats to vehicle may survive in a crash lab- but i am putting my children in this vehicle- no one at nhtsa will i bet- knowing this problem.repair is estimated by dealer at $1000 for the consumer. Outrageous considering they know they have a problem.
Complaint: drivers seat rear bracket snapped off making the seat sway from side to side, unable to drive when cornering, was driving on rt 81 at 70mph had to find the nearest exit to stop, now driving with 3 2x4s under the rear seat to stop the sway.
The back left corner and possibly front left corner of the driver's seat mount/frame broke loose from the track/car which is causing the seat to rock diagonally several inches off of the floorboard.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.while driving approximately 35 mph, the driver's seat frame was loose and tilted to the left.there was no prior warning to this malfunction.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the frame was damaged and needed to be replaced.the vehicle has not been repaired.the contact was concerned of the safety risk involved.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 50,000 and current mileage was 55,000.
Driver seat left rear bracket completely failed.the seat was then free to pivot on the front forward bolts during all stopping actions.
Broken welds in the driver's seat base frame. First broke abound 4/9/2008. Aftermarket seat heaters had been installed by a vendor previously. Took vehicle to vendor, found broken welds in the driver seat base, causing the base to drop down and to the left. Vendor removed the driver seat, aligned, reinforced , mig welded the affected areas. Vendor reassembled and tested seat, appeared to be solid.9/15/2010. Driving vehicle at moderate speed (35-40 mph) , loud "pop" , then left rear side of drivers seat dropped down. No loss of control , but now an obviously unsafe situation.9/22/10. Took vehicle back to vendor (see above), vendor pulled off access panels and verified that welds performed in 2008 were solid and that the frame had broken in another spot. Declined to even attempt a repair at this point for safety concerns and advised contacting dealer for new part.9/22//10 visited nissan dealer, seat inspected by technician, stated that the rear lower drivers seat frame was broken and would need to be replaced. The service dept quoted a price of $750.00 parts, $275.00 labor, for a total of $125.00 plus tax.this is a serious safety problem in my mind. The car has 44,000 miles, was purchased in, and spends much of it's time in florida. There is absolutely no rust or corrosion anywhere i know of. I believe this is a defect and should be covered by nissan.
2005 murano sl with 48900 miles.failed driver's seat as noted in 207 other complaints on this site.upon getting into the vehicle, the left back portion of the driver's seat suddenly popped and tilted to the left.there is a severe rocking motion of the seat now and turning right causes the driver to have to hold on to the steering wheel with force in order to remain upright and drive appropriately.currently at the nissan dealership having the problem diagnosed.haven't yet gotten word on the "cost" of this repair but feel strongly that this should be taken care of by nissan as this is a structural failure that should not occur.having no injuries reported does not mean this couldn't happen soon.if you are driving and making a turn at the time of the failure you most definitely could lose control of your vehicle.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving approximately 3 mph,a loud abnormal noise was present and the driver's seat suddenly moved backwards and to the left causing the driver to momentarily loose control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that a section of the front seat frame had cracked as a result the driver seat link assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000.

Driver's side seat has broken frame not covered by nissan. Seems to be a defective frame. Currently 25 complaints on nhtsa. Nissan should address issue.
Drivers bottom seat assembly is broken.
I have a 2005 nissan murano. The bracket weld under the drive seat was snapped suddenly. The drive seat is lopsided to the left while driving. I have to insert some wood blocks underneath the seat to keep it level.
For a couples of days i started hearingthe driver seat noise, while i was driving or at rest in a redlight.then one day while driving my seat suddenly felt to the left side.it did not when all to the car floor or over the door but i did not have any stability of my body for that side.
Front power seat of my 2005 murano, sl with 47,000 miles. Seat broke and nissan will not cover the expense to repair.this is unsafe.
While driving my 2005 nissan murano se, the driverside seat broke on the left rear side of the seat causing the me the driver to sit in an awkward position.this repair is said to have cost $750.00. I feel this is something that should be addressed due to it happening while i was driving and almost caused me to steer into oncoming traffic. For nissan not to consider this a recall is mind boggling, this could honestly cause a serious accident.
A metal bar under the rear section of the driver seat that helps stabilize the seat for all of the power functions broke when i was sitting in it. The seat takes very little abuse and this metal failure causes the seat to move from side to side which is not safe and could be any issues in an accident.
Broken seat frame.
2005 nissan murano with a broken drivers seat lift mechanism.bought car used and did not know about the broken seat. This is dangerous because the seat is moving when driving. This should be a nissan recall, that simple......
Driver side seat in my 2005 nissan murano broke without warning. Car was parked at the time. The seat tilted to the left and was unstable. I am unable to adjust the seat to the proper height for the best driving position. Nissan has refused to cover repair or replacement costs even though the vehicle is covered under extended warranty.
The driver's seat made a snap sound and then tilted.when i checked the seat, i found that i can rock it side to side.the bottom of the seat is separated from the seat track.if i raise the seat up using the motor, the tilt becomes more severe.if i lower the seat to the floor, the seat back automatically folds forward, so i am squished in the seat.i am worried that my safety is compromised by having the driver's seat only attached by 1 track & not the 2 tracks as it is intended to be.if i am in an accident, my seat has half the anchoring ability than it was designed to have.the nissan dealer is aware of this complaint but said there has been no recall.i cannot afford the $900 repair, so i am forced to operate my murano with a compromised safety system.due to the 1) amount of similar complaints, 2) failure of a safety-related system, 3) cost of repair (which is causing most claimants to operate the murano in an unsafe manor), and 4) the potential for a lawsuit against nissan if an accident or death occurs, nissan should be forced to issue a recall to correct this potentially dangerous problem.
While driving down a city street, my driver's seat on my '05 nissan murano dropped.it is now loose, shifts side to side and i fear it is a safety hazard.i found a discussion group about this exact situation online.apparently nissan knows about the weakness in the seat design and the safety issue, but will not accept responsibility.i do not have the $1020 quoted to repair the seat.
I've been having a problem with the power driver's seat in my '05 nissan murano. It is loose and shifts side to side when i turn corners. I contacted my dealer and they said that the lifter link slide assembly was broken and would need to be replaced at the tune of $600. There is a tsb (technical service bulletin) out on this exact problem. Since my vehicle is out of warranty, nissan north america has refused to fix it and therefore, own up to this safety issue. I would hate to see what would happen during a crash. Please recall this issue before anyone loose their lives.
While driving my 2005 nissan murano the drivers side seat collapsed.this caused a temporary loss of control of the vehicle.luckily we were not in an accident.my brother in law's drivers seat also collapsed.i have found numerous similar stories on the internet.when asking nissans consumer affairs to look into the matter they took 21 days to investigate.they finally told us that they would not pay any of the $900 that was estimated to fix.they stated that it was due to the fact we did not have our warranty.i'm not sure why it took 21 days to figure that out!

The failure mileage was 82,000.
Driver seat came detached from car.
Drivers seat bracket broke making seat unstable and unsafe. This is a known issue with nissan, as newer model murano's have a reinforced bracket. Nissan refuses to address the issue, or issue a recall.
Driving, heard loud pop and driver's seat tilted back. The right rear bracket broke on the seat frame that nissan installed to replace the first one that broke on 01/30/2009 at 62,853 miles. Nissan refuses to do the repair at no charge and said it will cost $1,200.my initial complaint for the first incident (odi number) is: 10593351.
I heard about the breaking of the driver seat, it just happened to me on my 2005 nissan murano. First the seat would be lose like excessive movement for some time, then all of the sudden it will eventually break.i am about 250 ponds and that dose not seam to be excessive enough to break the back bottom cross bar under the drivers seat. (i'm sure this is a expensive repair)this was very dangerous and scary for someone who is unsuspecting of this issue.thanks for reading.
While driving at highway speed (55mph), the drivers seat suddenly fell backwards.luckily, it was only fell back on the left side.if both sides had broken, my wife might have lost control of the vehicle.looking at the seat, there is a cross bar at the bottom of the seat back that had one side shear off.i've read a nhtsa report (see http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/murano/12811-no-recall-murano-seat.html) that says that "while the number of complaints of this problem is relatively high, only three very minor, undocumented injuries were reported. The reported injuries occurred during driver ingress, not while the vehicle was in motion. Investigation disclosed that the apparent risk of compromise to vehicle control has not been demonstrated."with the seat broken, i find it hard to believe that an investigator wouldn't find this not being a safety issue because it's very dangerous to drive the vehicle in this condition.if the right side also broke, it may cause the back of the seat to fall backwards and i would expect the driver to lose control.with the number of people posting this complaint online, i'm amazed that this hasn't resulted in a recall.also, since i've read that nissan has redesigned the seat bracket, then this would confirm that there was inferior engineering done previously.otherwise, they wouldn't have fixed it.
I own a 2005 nissan murano.the driver seat is rocking and moving while driving the car because the seat bracket that holds the seat to the floor failed.i fixed it in 2008 and paid approx. $ 1,000.00 and again it happened in 2011 the seat is rocking and moving toward the left side which happened while i was driving and almost caused a serious accident by losing control of the car.i called the nissan north america several times and they decline to even admit that there is a defect in the bracket holding the seat.this is a safety hazard issue which could cause a fatal accident by losing control of the car when the seat snaps away from its track.this problem have been investigated by the us department of safety and as of today nissan refuse to recall the nissan muranos and try to permenatly fix the problem.the nisaan dealerships recognize the problem becausea tsb # 05043 was issued by nissan to all dealerships to alert them and show them how to temporary fix the problem.the cost of the part doubled in two years because of the high demand. This is a safety hazard issue and a fatal accident is waiting to happen. Nissan should address the problem with the seats and fix it without any cost for the consumer.a recall must be issued by nissan before its too late.it is unbelievable that nissan double the price on the part needed to fix the problem and force the consumer to pay for it knowing that this will not fix the seats permanently.the brackets that hold the seats must be re-designed to carry the weight of the driver without snapping and breaking while driving.i urge the us department of transportation to re-investigate the seats in the 2005 murano and not wait until a fatal accident happens.this is a serious issue and it should not be ignored.*ln
While driving, making a right turn, the driver's seat, left rear "dropped" very quickly causingme to veer to the left nearly causing an accident by going partially into another lane of traffic.brought the vehicle home and upon inspection found the left rear seat bracket broken.found this to be a common problem upon checking "edmonds.com nissan murano" forum.very shaken up!
05/nissan truck/murano/4dr sl awd v6 delivery miles 45,500.inspection miles 50,131.the drivers seat leans to left, service department verified the main rear crossmember to the lower seat frame is broken & needs to replace track assy .please refer to this website for numerous identical defects:http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2005/nissan/murano/seatdealership states cost to repair is $974.00 and will not honor warranty under my certified used vehicle.if not a recall issue this should fall under the strict liability rule (justice traynor in escola v. Coca cola).

The drivers seat leans completely to left.
Yesterday my 2005 nissan murano drivers seat frame broke and the seat is rocking back and forth. I have read on the web of many, many murano owners with this same problem. It is very dangerous and is obviously a known issue, how can nissan not recall this?
This is previously addressed in an investigation closed in 2009.my seat bracket on drivers side did however break during vehicle operation while turning a corner.i have had spinal fusion surgery and this was enough of a jolt to cause pain in my neck. The seat now wobbles side to side and front to back and in the even of and accident would not be properly secured causing any injuries to be significantly worse in my opinion.1100.00 to replace this part is extremely irritating and i doubt others like myself have the cash to dump into a simple part with a design defect that will most likely only break again.
Dangerous seat failure on my 05' nissan murano.the driver's seat frame has broken causing the seat to rock from side to side when cornering.this is terribly dangerous and will cause loss of control. The dealers are quoting a price of over $800 to repair something that should never have failed.i have investigated this problem on line and have found that some owners are having the seat welded abd that fixes the problem but nissan is not offering that low cost option because they have no mechanics that weld!!!
Drivers seat is loose due to broken seat track.
Driver seat left side of seat, bracket broke while driving.the seat is unstable and dangerous to drive.
Front drivers side seat. Left rear reinforcement broken. No collisions or crashes. Same part where all the other seats are breaking.
The driver's side seat is loose on its frame. I brought it in the dealer and the fix is over $650. I have an extended warranty, but they indicate that this is not covered. However, we are working on that. The real safety issue is if the seat breaks while driving, there is a very high likelihood of a crash. I will get the seat fixed this week. However, in reviewing information from other complaints, i have seen many, many others reporting this problem.
2005 nissan murano driver seat. Seat broke while driving and is leaning to the left. This should be considered a serious safety issue, as i was caught off guarded and almost serve off the road.
Left rear anchor of the drivers seat broke going over a speed bump.
Broken drivers seat frame.
On jan, 2010 the driver's side seat had failed on my 2005 nissan murano. The driver's seat frame had broken causing the seat to rock from side to side and front to back. The seat has a factory defect causing the frame to fail. There are hundreds of complaints for the 2004, 2005 2006 and 2007 nissan murano with the same failure. This is terribly dangerous and will cause loss of control and life threatening.
2005 nissan murano failing mounting brackets. Consumer would like to know if while crash testing the nissan murano if they encountered failure a failure with the driver side mounting brackets.while navigating a left turn, the drivers side seat suddenly titled to the left causing the consumer to lean against the door and bump her head on the drivers side window. The sudden shift also caused an injury to the consumers lower back. The bracket sheared due to what the consumer believed was a manufacturing defect.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.the contact stated that the driver side seat is off track.the seat has an automatic adjuster and it rocks back and forth, causing instability while driving.she took the vehicle to the dealer, but she did not have it inspected due to the cost.the vehicle is currently at her residence.the failure and current mileages were 47,000.
My 2005 nissan murano sl awd broke the driver's seat support bracket while driving on a clear, dry paved road in january 2010.the driver's seat rocked forward and backward slightly after i heard a snap.the next day i checked out the driver's seat while no one was sitting in it and noticed that the seat now rocks significantly forward and back and a metal bracket under the seat had broken.i called my local nissan dealership who got me in the next business day.the dealership quoted me $450 to make the repair saying they had to replace one of the two driver's seat lift assemblies and they had the part in stock.my murano has 78k miles on it and is beyond the extended warranty that we had purchased.i bought my murano from this dealership at 50k miles and have brought it back to them for every kind of service at the proper service intervals.because we had followed all the dealership's recommendations in the past for repairs and had done all the needed services, and this seat issue was not something that i could have prevented or otherwise been held accountable for causing (i am an average weight woman), i called nissan's customer service line and spoke to a customer service rep.after explaining this safety issue and the fact that this seat is tied into the air-bag system and asking for some goodwill on this safety defect, i was denied.i asked for just a parts goodwill and was still denied.after reviewing my service statement from the dealership, the service technician noted that he replaced the driver's side front seat lift assembly "per bulletin."i looked online and found that nissan has a technical service bulletin (reference number ntb05-043c) that was issued march 29, 2007 about this very issue.further online investigation noted that many people have apparently had this same issue, but at much lower mileage. I am furious that nissan has a known safety issue and refused to cover it.
Driver seat is broken it is being supported now with 3 bricks. It broke as i was making a right turn and i temporary lost control of the vehicle.
2005 murano driver seat "popped" when entering car. Seat now has excessive movement up and down in right rear corner. Very unsafe condition to drive in since there seems to be no solid connection to theframe. After removing seat discovered the linkage mechanism between base rails and seat bracket had failed - stamped metal part had catastrophically failed in two locations. Failed part is integral to seat frame and cannot be replaced. Similar repairs noted on internet quoted at approximately $1000. Design constraints for the part should have exceeded the cars intended lifespan and should not be affected by normal usage. Safety of driver and occupants could be severely impacted if vehicle operated with this condition. This is a pathetic failure on any vehicle - let alone one with only 75k miles.
Seat is loose and got stuck when trying to auto move back and forward as part of the startup process.i've read up on the complaints here and on the nissan owners forum and this is a known defect.if the seat tack and bracket breaks from an obvious manufacture defect this can cause a deadly crash.does it take a person to die before nissan will issue a recall?please force nissan to fix this.
The driver seat on my 2005 nissan murano broke for no reason on the mount that attaches it to the floor causing the entire seat to sway when accelerating and making turns. The vehicle has only 65000 miles and in spite of it being past the warranty period, i believe that the manufacturer should be responsible for defective merchandise that are design-related and pertaining to safety. The local dealership won't repair it since nissan corporation declined to pay for it. They however insist that i get the entire seat frame replaced at a cost of approximately $1200 dollars. The local dealership has received 3 cases just like this and only one of them was accepted by nissan. I don't know what my rights are in this case but a defective seat is different from other moving parts on the vehicle that wear with time.
Currently own a 2005 nissan murano and noticed last night that the drivers seat shifted to the left. This morning while driving the car to work, the left side of the drivers seat snapped and the seat leaned down to the left. I have read a number of complaints on edmunds.com, this is an extremely common safety issue and nissan has not addressed this as a design problem. Is there a recall for this issue being addressed??
Driver's seat broke off seat track. Dealership said it was a defect.also, took it to my mechanic and he said the seat track was broke and it was a defect in the track.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.whenever the contact sits on the front driver's seat, the left corner of the seat falls down.while driving 15 mph, the seat shakes and causes unstable visibility.he took the vehicle to two dealers and both stated that the welding in the seat needed to be repaired.through online research, he found numerous complaints on this very same failure for this vehicle.he stated that it appeared to be a manufacturer defect that should be recalled.the current and failure mileages were 71,294.
When leaving an intersection, the rear seat bracket snapped, leaving the seat sagging and flopping with the movement of the vehicle. Took vehicle to local dealership. Service advisor seemed to minimize the seriousness of the damage. Claim he was not aware of similar incidences. A simple internet search revealed a pattern of this issue with this specific vehicle. Nissan has agreed to pay a portion of the repair, but claims the damage is outside warranty. Car seats should not break under normal use, and nissan needs to formalize a recall. This is another complaint related to nhtsa action # pe05050.
My driver seat broke recently.a search online determines this is a recurring prob for this vehicle.why has this issue not been a recall item, or why isn't nissan covering this defect???the repair is approx $1,200!!!?
On march 27, 2010, i was stopping at a light and the driver's front seat, in my 2005 nissan murano, broke.i had the extended warranty; however, my seat was not covered.i took it to the nissan dealership immediately and it cost me $461.23 to have my seat fixed.the dealership stated that my rear cushion support bracket was broken, they stated that this was a common problem with the 2005 muranos, and that i would have to either get it fixed there (at the dealership) or i would have to have the car towed to another facility to have it repaired.this is not normal - wear and tear 'a broken seat from stopping at a light.the dealership stated that there were no recalls, but would put in a complaint on my behalf.
The drivers seat in my 2005 nissan murano suddenly collapsed as the frame broke. Fortunately, the car was not moving at the time so there was not an accident. I am not a large person and only weigh about 195 pounds. From what i gather this is a very common problem on the murano and an important safety problem due to a poorly designed frame. Besides the fact that this is an $800 to $1100 repair bill, there should be a recall to fix this problem before someone gets killed. So far nissan has been unwilling to recall this problem. I would suggest that the nhtsa call for a mandatory recall as soon as possible.
While driving my vehicle on january 2,2016 i heard a loud noise from my seat and then a sudden drop in the rear drivers side seat. Upon pulling over i noticed that the seat was unattached on the rear left side.i took it to my repair shop, they removed the seat to find that the bracket was completely sheared off.i was told that they have never seen anything like that before.he called the nissan dealership and he was informed that there was tsb's on the drivers seat but no recall stating that there were no serious accidents as a result of this defect but that was all and was told that we could buy the parts from them but that it was all on me to pay to have it repaired

Nissan murano 2005 driver seat support bracket broke. The seat started to show some movement during turns and stops while car was under warranty but dialer refused to change anything claiming that it is a normal movement. Now this bracket finally broke. After looking at the bracket design it is obvious that 1/8" thk bent bracket with a cut-out where only a total of 3/4" of width is left would not be enough to support the seat for too long. Metal fatigues and brakes. It did happened to my car on 9/15/09 on the country road during the right turn. I was fortunate enough to be able to "clamp" on my steering wheel to avoid loosing control of the vehicle due to seat falling back. I can only imagine what would happen to this seat during the car wreck. Nissan refuses to replace the broken part at their expense although it is clear that the part that brackets is not a wear item it should provide the sufficient support throughout the life of a vehiclewithout compromising the passenger safety. Somebody needs to get involved and make nissan to take care of this problem before people will get hurt or killed.
Broken electric seat, will not move. Seems to be a widespread problem. Hard to be comfortable. Price of repair is way to expensive. This problem should be a recall.

I own a 2005 nissan murano. Recently, the driver's seat broke, causing it to rock during regular driving and tip over when going around turns. Nissan north america and the dealer refuse to repair the seat under warranty, stating that it is a result of "normal wear and tear". I did some research on the internet and learned that many people have the same problem. I attempted to locate the part myself and learned that nissan has changed the part number seven times, in attempts to fix this problem. I was unable to locate the part as it is in high demand. The driver's seat is a major safety concern not only due to the bouncing and rocking but the possibility that it will disconnect completely. I can't even fathom how this seat would hold up during an accident. Last week, while i was driving to work, a tractor-trailer entered my lane of travel. I swerved to avoid hitting it but, due to the broken seat, my body flew toward the passenger side of the car, nearly causing me to totally lose control of the car in the process. My car ran off the road but, luckily, i did not hit anything.
The driver seat of my 2005nissanmurano is not well fixed....its loose on the left side. If i have a major accident the seat can come off. I think this a safety issue.
My 2005 nissan murano with 68k miles only purchased from dealer less than 2 years and has extended warranty has a broken driver's seat.while driving, my left sides of the seat collapsed and now rocks back and fourth while driving, turning, and stopping.i immediately went to the dealership to advise and was told this is a common problem, but is not covered under the warranty and is very costly to repair. I am extremely upset as was driving with my 2 year old son at the time the chair collasped.i would like to know if this is a common problem why is there no recall from nissan?
Nissan murano vin-[xxx]- driver side front seat rear frame defectmy vehicle driver side rear seat frame broke on 06/19/2010 approximately around noontime. As i was driving my murano nissan and came to a stop at a stoplight, i heard a hard snap and felt a little jerk towards my left side. Unsure of what it was, i continued to drive my vehicle down the road. As i was driving my vehicle, i felt a rough thumping underneath my seat. I thought for a minute that my front driver side tire was going flat or had some kind of problem. As i drove further to find a safe place to pull over to check it, i felt my front seat sway back and forth, as i accelerated and as i was braking. I accelerated again to make sure that the swaying motion was actually happening. Again, the swaying motion (back and forth) of the front seat occurred. I looked underneath the front driver side rear seat and saw what looked like a black metal track frame supporting the seat. In the area towards the rear left side of the frame was one of four metal prongs that were broken away from the metal track frame of the seat. Knowing that this was a very unsafe issue, i looked for help to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Using the internet, i found numerous shocking complaints sites regarding nissan muranos' rear seat breakage.i contacted a local news station (3onyourside), who investigated the issue and found it to be legitimate and true. Not only was my vehicle in question about the defective part, several hundred complaints were found throughout the internet.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Drivers seat frame cross-member weld broke on the left rear lower weld. Feels like on every turn that driver can be thrown and tilted forward right from the seat causing the steering wheel to react in an uncontrolled albeit momentary jolt. Extremely dangerous as this is the cross member between left and right.many complaints online for hundreds of owners with same exact issue down to the same side and same weld.i have 2 infants that make this a very scary and dangerous situation that nissan has obviously failed to design correctly and should be a common and straightforward fix for their dealerships to resolve and owe buyers.thanks for your time and attention.
I was driving in my car, and the seat broke and leans back only on the left side, causing an unsafe driving position. While searching for a fix, apparentlythere are many other complaints in the nissan murano for exactly the same reason. I feel this is a major safety concern as my foot was removed from the pedals and i temporarily lost control of the vehicle until i realized exactly what happened. The current rocking of the seat during acceleration and braking causes the seat (and body) to sway, changing the pressure intended to be placed on the brakes and gas pedal.

While driving to work my 2005 nissan murano driver seat rear bracket failed. This resulted in the seat dropping to the left nearly causing a crash.
Upon driving the vehicle the seat started to slide toward the passenger side.upon bring it to a mechanic i was told that the plastic wheel in the chair mech was worn out and need to be replaced.called nissan and there answer to me was first if i was over weight and claim that is why it broke.wrong answer i am not over weight to cause that and then i was told that i had to buy the whole new seat and a track that cost is 800 for the part and at thatpoint i told them all i need is a plastic wheel...company told me if i had an extended warranty it would be fix.well i don't have one and truly don't feel like i would of need one for the age and mileage of this vehicle/it appears that there has been alot of troubles with the 2005 model and they knew it and felt that if people have a warranty to fix things they will be fixed and there is no paper trail of there poor manufacturing of the vehicle.as of today there now telling me that my oil pan and the alot of the parts of the undercarriage of the vehicle is rotted and need to be replaced.i have never had a rotted oil pan, nor has any of my undercarriage of the vehicle rotted, it appears that there parts are not having a protection coat of rustolum on them and yet once again there answer is if i have a warranty it would be covered.
Seat frame seperation in the left rearcorner of driver seat. Seat frame is not connected welded joints have broken. Unsafe to drive in this condition i bought this car new in 2005 it has 80,000 miles on it and has never been in an accident. Fed government should make this a recall now before someone gets killed!
I have nissan murano s 2005 , 60000 miles. Lately, during normal driving the drivers seat broke down and i heard popping noise from underneath my seat. Right after that it started rock sideways. I don't think my weight is an issue here(160 lbs) because i started searching the internet and many people have the same problem. I contacted the nissan dealer but they told me it's not recalled and my warranty won't cover it. I'm pretty upset with that information because it looks like it's nissan responsibility to take care of that and it's a safety issue.

Failure of the left rear anchor of the driver's seat.
Driving at a speed of approximately 15 mph and beginning to enter a right hand turn when the driver's seat gave way and slumped to the rear and shifted to the left.i immediately pulled over to investigate what had just happened.the back left mounting bracket of the driver's seat broke in half and now the seat rocks and shifts to the back left.i took the vehicle to the nissan dealership only to be told that they see this problem alot.to repair the seat will cost just over $1,000.nissan recognizes that the bracket breaks and is defective.however, nissan has not issued a recall to resolve this safety issue.the seat has enough rock and play in it that in the event of a crash, the broken seat can act as a catalyst to eject the driver from the driver's seat.
I own a 2005 murano and while driving my seat dropped and slammed over to the drivers side door. This completely caught me off guard and caused me to pull into the opposite lane. There were no cars on the road with me at the time so no accident happened. Now my seat leans to the left and constantly moves as i turn or come to a stop it wobbles. I have called my dealership and they have let me know this is not a recall. I have researched and found not only on this website but hundreds of others that report this exact problem.if i get in to an accident while awaiting for the recall to actually go in to affect it is very possible being my seat is not connected to my vehicle that i will become projectile or the force of my seat to my seatbelt is going to cause broken collar bones and facial bones. This is a flaw in the vehicle and needs to be acknowledged as one.
As i was leaving my garage, i heard a click and a snap and realized (after my seat started leaning to the left) that the driver's seat on my 2005 nissan murano broke. Luckily i wasn't in heavy traffic and was able to pull over. It is unbelievable that nissan has yet to voluntarily recall this defect. Currently the vehicle is at the dealer and i am waiting for nissan to take responsibility for this issue. This is the 3rd incident i have had with this truck.
Nissan murano drivers seat.the brace bar that runs across the back underneath the seat from the left back corner to the back right corner becomes unwelded.the seat then begins to rock and is no longer stable nor safe should the car be in an accident as the seat belt will not hold a person in the seat as it is designed to do so.
The power seat for the driver has a stripped screw causing the whole seat to move left when trying to move forward.dealer said whole new seat assembly is needed.
1.the events leading up to the failure: sitting in my seat.2. The failure, how often it occurs, its consequences: seat frame broke. Now seat leans, and rocks on turns. It's very loose.3.what was done to correct the failure: nothing. I've opened a case with nissan but they said it wasn't covered in a recall and i'm out of warranty. I've researched this on the web and it appears that this is a very common problem.
My driver side seat in my 2005 nissan murano with 57, 000 has a broken bracket.the seat tilts back and forth on the left side, which make it impossible and unsafe to drive.

2005 nissan murano.the driver's seat broke.

I have a 2005 nissan murano with 70,000 miles. The seat frame has broken, and costs about $1000 to repair. I have researched the internet and have found hundreds of other people with the same problem. This is a safety problem as the seat is so loose that in a wreck you could become a projectile. Nissan needs to admit that this is a defect and fix these seats.
During normal use the driver's seat broke loose from the seat rail.i was very lucky that this occurred when i went to get into the vehicle while in my garage and not while i was driving or during a crash.upon inspection the trip steel hollowed out plate connecting the seat to the rail broke.i am a mechanical engineer and the design of this part was clearly not strong enough to survive a crash. Instead of being a solid piece of thick steel it was hollowed out and the thin strips left to attach the seat to the rail were not strong enough to withstand normal use much less the force caused by a crash. The redesigned replacement part was a much stronger solid piece of metal.
A 2005 nissan murano and the support linkage for the power seat has broke . It lists to the left. As far as i can tell, it is a break in the connection of the back support. Power features work fine. Sounds like nissan has a design problem.
While driving/turning/stopping/entering/exiting vehicle the left rear side of the drivers seat dips down drastically.have read numerous complaints that nhtsa and nissan are aware that these seats are a problem, i think nissan should step up and take responsibility for the quality of the product and fix these seats before someone is injured due to the defect.thankful i noticed mine while parked and not moving when the sudden movement of the seat could cause me to not have control over the vehicle.
2005nissan murano - driver seat broke and is a safety hazard.
The driver's side seat frame snapped in two places while the car was not even in motion. Lakeland nissan dealer first said it was covered under a tsb, but after taking it to them they said it was not covered because the mileage was over 36,000 mi. Even though no one mentioned this previously. Lakeland nissan dealer then quoted $997.00 to replace the seat frame. This appears to be a major public safety risk and manufacturer's defect, at the very least a poor design. I have researched this on the web and found similar complaints on multiple occasions. I would really like to review the initial crash test results from nissan to see how this escaped detection. (maybe it didn't)what i'd like to know is why there is not an investigation on this? does someone have to be killed or injured of it before the government acts? a recall is warranted in my opinion for this problem.this ends my customer loyalty to nissan. I will never purchase another one or use they're dealership service dept. Again.

Internal mounting bracket supporting the drivers seat has broken while rounding a corner causing my hands to slip of the steering wheel and car did strike the curb. The seat now will flop from side to side. The car is not safe to drive. I can't afford the $700+ repair, that will fail again in the short amount of time.please look into this. It is a common problem on these model cars. Nissan has sent out a tsa for this repair. But the problem is conic and expensive. No after marked parts available. Nissan parts only and the replacements are failing also.
Driving through a parking lot and over a speed bump when the driver's seat suddenly slid all the way back on the track and started leaning to left.
I have a 2005 nissan murano. The drivers seat has broken off the track from normal use. This makes it very difficult to drive. I have asked the dealer if this was covered under warranty. It is not covered nor is it a recall. Even though they have told me they have had several 2005's come in with broken seats. From several websites i see that this is a large problem for nissan. Yet, they will not recall or assist in repair cost. I think nissan is well aware that this is a problem and they are trying to avoid a recall for as long as they can. I feel this is a real safety issue.
My wife was driving and the drivers seat became unstable. It dropped down and tilted to the rear left. Upon visual inspection, the left rear seat bracket is no longer connected to the floor of the car.
The frame on my seat of my 2005 nissan murano broke. I contacted nissan and my closest dealer. The dealer inspected it, told me that their was a bulletin on the frame repair. They suggested to nissan that they replace it. I also was in contact with nissan and have a file regarding this problem. After 15 days they denied repairing the faulty seat frame. I do not feel this is safe. I also do not feel it is my responsibility as it is a defect and do not currently have the money to cover the repair. You asked for an approximate incident date, this seat has been making noise for approximately 6 months. It's a very hard problem to diagnose because the weight of the seat settles down onto the broken frame. The time that i reported it was 15 days ago. Nissan has a detailed file on all of this information and has refused help.

The track assembly in the driver's side power seat failed.when engaged the motor assembly would not move forward or backward but instead would cause the entire seat to swivel to the right.prior the failure there was a grinding noise.any attempt to shift the position of the seat while driving could have caused a serious problem.
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.

Takata recall..i drove my 2005 nissan muranoand i parked the nissan. 20 minutes later started to back the car and as soon as i put it on dr it went by 2 miles an hour so then i pressed on the gas all the way down and it still went to miles an hour it's still drove but it was going around 5 miles an hour. Then i parked the nissan and let it cool off and see what was wrong. I could not find nothing, i called my husband he could not find nothing either, he drove it around the block and it still went 5 miles an hour so then he checked the engine nothing was wrong but it did say abs and then around 20 minutes later the nissan turn on and it went normal and nothing happened until 2 months later. The next time i was at a drive-thru and then all of a sudden the abs turn on and it did not want to go fast it went again five miles an hour. Then i turn around the corner and then it went fast but then it went slow again so i park the nissan, and begin to start it and then it wouldn't start the abs went on again, then the battery was dead. I finally got a jump and it turned back on like normal and it went normal until i got to the store and i left the nissan on with the air condition and had my son in the car. My son said that air conditioner keep going on and off on and off the windows were not working try to roll down the windows it wasn't working so then i got in the car and as soon as i put it in dry it didn't want to go it went 5 miles an hour then the abs turned back on and then it went back to normal i was driving i made it all the way home and that is what's going on with a nissan murano.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle slowed down and the brake and battery indicators illuminated. The failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.
I had a check engine light and an airbag light appear on my dash. While driving on the beltway the abs light came on and my car slowed down and wouldn't tee pond to the gas pedal. After about 2 minutes it kicked back in so i took it to get a diagnostic from a nissan dealer the next morning. They told me everything was fine according to the computer there were a lot of codes that popped up but they told me they weren't happening anymore. I asked of they checked all of the wires they told me yes. So i took my vehicle and later that night while driving back from lunch break the abs light came on again and the murano slowed down as before only this time it cut completely off. It only held a jump for about 5 blocks before it cut off again. I had it towed back to the dealer the next morning and they told me they can't check anything unless i purchase a new battery so i bought a new battery and they put it in and told me everything was fine again it just needed a new battery. They told me everything was reading fine but in my opinion that was because it was feeding off the juice of a new battery. About 2 hours after leaving the dealer the same thing happen again with a new battery while i was driving. The abs light came on the car slowed down this time the meters went crazy then it cut off. Only by the grace of god that no one was injured with my car cutting off while i'm driving. I called the dealer and they were not willing to do anything different and they told me my vin number is not under a recall. I called nissan consumer affairs after a week of waiting and unreturned calls i finally talked to a regional manager from tennessee by the name of [xxx] only because i got transferred to him and all he told me was nissan will not help you out financially. He didn't discuss the issue or offer solutions and showed no concern for safety only money even though i never asked for it.

While driving on the street or highway abs light comes on then vehicle stalls and rolls at about 2 mph and the car doesn't respond when i press the gas pedal. Usually the abs light turns off then i can drive normally. The last time this happened the car turned off i had to push it out of the street and it wouldn't start up for a couple of hours, then the abs light came on again and then it stalls with no response when pressing the gas pedal. This has happened over 10 times even after replacing the brakes and checking all the sensors, checking the battery and all of the connections and fluids.
While driving on the highway on our way to pick up daughter who lives 1.5 hours away my 2005 nissan murano would not stop when i stepped on the brake pedal. I had to pull the car over and let it stop to put it in park. I then called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to the mechanic. I had to get rear brake pads and rear brake rotors as well as the rear passenger side rear caliper. This all cost me $1,700 as well as a weekend with my grandchild! there had not been any warning signs that i needed new brakes, i had only purchased this vehicle in november 2018. I paid 5,500 dollars for the vehicle and thus far have had to put almost 4,000 dollars into repairs and tow trucks! now i went out to my car and as i started to back out of my driveway as i stepped on the brake pedal it is very squishy and now is going to the floor!. I got out of my vehicle and my driveway is covered in brake fluid!!! my master cylinder is obviously now needing to be replaced! i put in a bottle of brake fluid hoping to drive it to the shop and i can see it dripping out of my vehicle already without even stepping on the brakes! i am going to have to again call a flat bed tow truck to have the vehicle taken to the garage to be repaired. I am not sure yet but i am guesstimating this will cost me another 1200 dollars. Not to mention i was told that i need to replace the racknpinion????? 2005 nissan murano seems to be the worst decision i have ever made in my life, and i can only describe it as a death trap. Oh one last thing, the day i bought the vehicle i was almost rear ended several times on the way home. I got home and found out that i had absolutely no back lights that worked. Not brake lights, blinkers, nothing. Death trap
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled as the brake light and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that they could not diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,000.
Dt*:the contact stated while applying brake pressure at 20mph or less, there was increased stopping distance.the vehicle was taken to the dealer where diagnostic test where performed.there where no failure codes detected.the service manager also, test drove the vehicle, but could not duplicate the problem.
The air bag indicator light is flashing in the dash again. I had this problem fixed once before while still under warranty at the north little rock dealership. On leaving the garage within just a mile, i made a left turn and heard a crunching noise in the steering column and it came back on. I went strait back and they said they would fix it but the (second replacement part) wouldn't be in till the next day so i was given a loaner for one day.now it's back on again.also noted shortly after the warranty expired that the lumbar support on the drivers side no longer inflates/deflates and hasn't worked since. I have had all recalls fixed and had to replace the battery at 37,000 miles at my cost. Also had to have the dealership resurface both front rotors and replace a rear caliper under warranty that had locked up 1 & 1/2 years ago. I see that the front rotors are in need of resurfacing again even though the break pads have 1/2 of there wear left to go. Due to the highly chromed /curved dipstick, getting an accurate oil level reading is not possible at any time, so the dipstick has only been removed three time since purchasing it as it is a pointless endeavor. I own six autos that range in age from 1972 threw this 2005 murano and of all of them, the murano is the least trusted one. I will never own another nissan.
-while drivingthe2005 nissan murano at 55 mphanother driver cut her off, causingthe contact to lose control of the vehicle and crash.in an attempt to apply the brakes the contact lost control and the vehicle spun into a median. The contact stated thatthe abs didn't function properly and wasa safety risk.the road conditions were wet due to the rain. The current vehicle and failure mileage were 33,000.the contact sustained injuries in the crash.
The current description has to do with mechanical defects:i leased a brand new 2005 nissan murano in april 2005,and in august of that year the car had major mechanical malfunctions that included: abs light came on , internal failure of abs actuator, and right front abs sensor, engine probelms with loss of power, and acceleration . Nono current through pin connectors.had to replace ecm.engine light came on , internal failure to throttle body,all wheel drive light came on.they replaced the alternator, i also had internal failure of a/c amplifier.my car was in the shop from 8/5/05 - 9/13/05 a total of 39 days!i called nissan about complying with the lemon law and to now they have declined to cooperate.i am currently seeking legal representation in this matter.
2005 nissan murano.the front brake rotors have both cracked in less than 15,000 miles.nissan says they will not replace due to the brake warranty being 12,500 miles.the vehicle was not abused or driven harshly.this is my family car, it is treated with much respect.
High side power steering hose on nissan murano. 2003-2007 this is a fire hazard. A factory recall should be issued for the high side power steering fluid line on the nissan murano. This is a common issue with the nissan murano from my research on the internet. The dextron fluid is highly flammable! i have a two year old child and nissans concern should be about peoples safety and not money! i was also informed from a few nissan dealers this is an issue with muranos.
Subframe broke between the rear wheels while driving on city street. Mechanic inspected it and subframe is rusted from inside out. Mileage on the car is 150,000 miles and i am the first owner that took very good care of the car, from keeping it in my garage, to regular maintenance and car washing to prevent rust. Car is inoperable waiting for the part to come in for replacement for 6 days.nissan had a recall on this model for 2003-2007 year of manufacturing, however i had not received any notice.
It seems that i have all of the well known problems with the nissan murano. I got the air bag light that won't turn off which to me is a major safety and very dangerous issue. I heard that in case of an accident the air bags and seat belts won't work. Nissan needs to address this problem asap before someone or multiple people lose their life because of their lack of responsibility. Another problem i have is none of door actuators work including the rear hatch door except for the driver's side door that door is the only door that unlocks and locks which i also think it's another safety issue. I also have the bad power steering rack which i mentioned a lot is a safety issue. The steering has so much play that its difficult to drive i wish nissan would step up to the plate and admit that these should be repaired because of their bad engineering with these trucks.
I am the original owner of 2005 murano.i noticed a problem with hydroplaning soon after purchase, and have always been extremely careful and on guard when driving in rain or even when streets are wet.this would happen with brand new tires and tires that were slightly worn so the tires don't seem to be the problem, unless its the type of tire but its not the tread on the tire.the car came with goodyear eagle p235/65 r18 tires and i have replaced with same tires when nissan service department advised of tread wear.on july 22, 2013 i was on my way home from gatlinburg with daughter and 2 year old granddaughter in car.we were caught in downpour going through knoxville.i truly cannot believe we are alive.my car would continually lose traction and it would slide to one side until it would grab traction before going off the road or wrecking.something is terribly wrong with the murano in regards to hydroplaning.i also have had the problem with the driver's side visor coming down and will not stay up since a couple years after i bought the car.i love everything else about my murano and due to hydroplaning safety issue i will not be purchasing another one.please take this issue up with nissan before people are killed.i cannot afford to replace my murano at this time so if there is anything that can be done please, please help me take care of this issue. This is definitely a manufacturer problem.there is no doubt people have been killed because of this problem but was not proven because didn't live to tell what happened.what can i do at this point to prevent becoming a statistic and more importantly ensure the safety of my precious cargo? i feel lucky to be alive.
This problem has been going on since 2013. Power steering leakage. 3 mechanics checked car couldn't find leak. I ended up carrying fluid with me cause i never knew when it would go out. The 4th mechanic changed the power steering pressure switch that wasn't the problem. He has now found that the care leaks when not in motion. A power steering rack has been ordered
At approximately 65 mph steering wheel would shake as an out of balance condition. I had the tires re-balanced and could not resolve the steering wheel shaking. Did not do any highway driving for a long period of time. Prior to going on vacation i had tires re-balanced, during the highway driving the steering wheel shaking was again visible and could also be felt in the steering wheel. Lower control arm was replaced with no resolve of the shaking steering wheel. Tire dealer replaced tires at a cost to me of $400.00.back to car dealership, replaced tire rod end that could be the cause of the problem on the drive home steering wheel shaking at highway speed of 65 mph.back to dealership who had two different mechanics test drive the car andthey said that they could not replicate the shaking, they must have held on to the steering wheel with a gorilla grip. I have a short video of this shaking steering wheel. Wife and i went to test drive a newer used 2009 nissan murano with the same approximate mileage,my car now at 88,000, same visible shaking if not worse. Solved problem by trading in the car. Now maybe the dealership will fix the problem at their expense, not mine.
Traveling on a curve at approximately 35 mph when approaching the exit/curve, heard noise on front right hand side. Released foot off the accelerator and when i tried to steer i could not maneuver it as i wanted. I hit the concrete divider on the road, rolled over and ended up on the other lane on the divider on the other side of the road.the car was a total loss but i survived. I believe something popped related to the steering of the car. Horrible experience.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver's seat frame detached and leaned towards the driver side door. The contact placed a stack of bricks to keep the seat steady. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. In addition, the power steering line detached and leaked fluid. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering line needed to be replaced. The technician clamped the power steering line; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
The vehicle fails to turn and must be refilled with power steering fluid daily.
Vehicle takes minutes to pick up speed especially true when it is on a stop position either in an intersection or traffic light intersection.i put my foot on the gas and press all the way down where it slowly moves, pick up a speed and do the same thing for each stop sign or traffic stop light.when starting the vehicle, it makes a screeching sound.if able to drive, steering wheel sometimes have that slight shaking.we have been experiencing these issues for more than a year now.tires were changed and brakes changed but issues still a big concern.

2005 nissan murano purchased may 2005~ 13,000 miles: i was in process of a y turn.when i put the car in reverse to back up, the car would not move,i put the car in drive in made an attempt to drive forward.the car did not move.thinking maybe i might be on something, i put car in park, got out and looked around and underneath my wheels.nothing.got back in the car and tried to back up again.car would not move.i got out, stood in front of the car and looked at it.i could readily see the left front wheel was turned in the direction they were supposed to be since i was in the process of a y turn.however, the right wheel was facing the opposite direction.i knew this car wasn't going no where.but for the life of me i did not get how that could suddenly be.i did not hit anything.the pavement was flat.no curbs, no nothing in the way!i was stuck blocking my cul du sac.i called the dealer.i talked to a guy in service department.i told him what the situation was.hesaid, "it sounds like tie rods are shot."i said, "on a new car?"he said, i will call the tow driver.there is no visible damage underneath or anywhere on the vehicle to indicate i hit anything or that anything hit me.i did not run over or hit anything.i was just in the process of a y turn.the tow driver arrived.he walked around the vehicle as i told him what happened.he said, "this is going to be a problem!"as the car was being pulled onto the flatbed trailer tow, i cringed, covering my face from the noise of metal crushing and bending.i knew whatever was wrong with my car was now enhanced by the tow.it is definitely the tie rod.the damage is $5,000.00.the result, the service department said i hit something and nissan won't pay.i know it is a parts failure or manufacturing defect. My car is on rack at dealer now so any asap info would be appreciated.
2005 nissan murano driver's seat bracket broke.
2005 nissan murano failing mounting brackets. Consumer would like to know if while crash testing the nissan murano if they encountered failure a failure with the driver side mounting brackets.while navigating a left turn, the drivers side seat suddenly titled to the left causing the consumer to lean against the door and bump her head on the drivers side window. The sudden shift also caused an injury to the consumers lower back. The bracket sheared due to what the consumer believed was a manufacturing defect.
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.htmlwhat 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.
The spring fails in the sun visor of the 2005 nissan murano, causing it to fall suddenly downward, suddenly obscuring the driver's view. Nissan refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem, and this should definitely be a recall.nissan forums indicate that this has been a problem for some time.
2005 nissan murano sun visors drop and do not stay in place. This seems to be a common problem according to various online forums.this poses a safety hazard and will block site of vission if they cant stay in place and blocks vision.
The visor will not stay up.it is dangerous because i am 6'1"and my son is 6'9" and we can't see out of the window when we drive. This is supposedly a common thing with this car.it costs like $300. To fix.it is a safety issue and nissa knows about it and should have to fix it without charge.
While driving down the highway i could hear what could best be described as a combination click and snap.at the same time i felt the lower left side of the drivers seat move.after further investigation (pictures available), i found that a supporting bracket has sheared in two places.this causes the seat to be very loose.one of the power seat functions will cause the seat to raise up only on the right side.
Door lock actuators began to failin our 2005 nissan murano. They stopped responding suddenly and when we thought the car was locked, it was in fact opened, which is a safety issue.it is a very common issue and usually all actuator go out at the same time. We have replaced driver's dooractuator (that cost us $400) and now have to deal with other 3. Hopefully nissan will recognize this as a serious problem and will issue a recall.
Subframe broke between the rear wheels while driving on city street. Mechanic inspected it and subframe is rusted from inside out. Mileage on the car is 150,000 miles and i am the first owner that took very good care of the car, from keeping it in my garage, to regular maintenance and car washing to prevent rust.

The liftgate won't latch when closed, therefore the tailgate is not properly secured when shut.i have had this repaired once before and it worked for a time, but has now reoccured.
My vehicle driver side seat frame broke on 11/9/2010 approximately around 6:00 pm. As i was driving my murano nissan on the expressway to go home after work, i heard a hard snap and felt a little jerk towards my left side. Unsure of what it was, i continued to drive my vehicle down the road. As i was driving my vehicle, i felt a rough thumping underneath my seat. I thought for a minute that my front driver side tire was going flat or had some kind of problem. As i drove further, i felt my front seat sway back and forth, as i accelerated and as i was braking. I accelerated again to make sure that the swaying motion was actually happening. Again, the swaying motion (back and forth) of the front seat occurred.when i got home, i checked the seat to see what had happened.the left side of the seat is broken completely loose from the track and moves freely.i took it to the nissan dealership in tulsa to have it checked today, and was informed that i need a new frame for the driver's seat, and that it would cost me approximately $1275.00 installed.i have done enough research online to discover that this is a defect for the nissan murano for the years that include the 2005.i do not feel safe driving my car down the rode with the seat able to move so freely.i am also concerned that the right side of the seat is going to break loose at well, and then i'll end up laying on my back in the back seat while i'm trying to drive down the road.
The problem with my car was the involuntary locking of all doors without my involvement whenever i parked the car somewhere. This proved very inconvenient at times when i didn't have my car keys with me. The dealer kept the car for a few days only to tell me they could not solve the problem. They didn't even offer to contact nissan with the problem.
Driver side exterior door handle came completely out of the door when i tried to open it one day. Nissan dealerships want up to $400 to fix this problem but they can't tell me how its actually broken without taking the door panel off. I don't know if a bolt or fastener came loose or if there is an actual break...nonetheless i have to stick my fingers inside where the handle used to be and pull a tiny lever to open the door.
Original owner of murano, purchased new in 2005.the door locks fail to lock and un-lock.this has occured at vairous times when using any means available to lock and un-lock the doors: the key fob, interior driver sideand passenger side locks button on door, and manual manipilation of the interior door lock(s).the issue is experienced with all 4 door locks and occassionally the rear hatch (not opened as often, so it may occure more frequently, just not aware of it).the condition worsens in the warm weather (live in fl).have at times been unable to get in or out of my vehicle until all of the above means tried repeatedly until one works.have found that i can only get in my car during warm weather if i use the fob to roll the front windows down and then reach in the vehicle and manually unlock the car door.
Rear doors and rear hatch will not open when using remote key fob.nissan say you have to replace right front, left and right rear door actuators for about $1500.
Nissan murano door actuators have failed on 2 of 4 doors, leaving me unable to enter/exit my vehicle with the remote. In addition, i cannot open the trunk of the vehicle unless the passenger door actuator is working, which it does not. The inside door locks do not move, so i do not know if my car is ever locked or unlocked, again, safety concern. Please investigate this, as i know other owners have complained and nissan continues to ignore this as an issue!!!
In mid jan, 2013 i noticed that after locking with the key fob, the front door remained unlocked, and would not lock from inside the car with either the individual lock control or the whole car lock control. The only way to lock the door is with your key, from the outside. In the event of an accident you do not have the added safety of a locked drivers door. All other doors are operating correctly at this time. The web seems to be filled with other problems like this and i wonder if they realize the danger they face when all doors are not locked in the event of an accident.
Vehicle shutdown while driving in the middle of the road while using a new battery. Fuel pump not reading fuel tank. Vehicle stalls specially wheneveracceleration starts after stopping.
Hi just discovered my 2005 murano has total rust on subframe to the point car unsafe to drive.are there any recalls for repairs or this occurring frequently.this is a serious safety hazard.if it wasn't for my mechanic friend something bad could have happened or i could have caused an accident.i was driving on the highway on dry pavement and when going over bumps notice car shifting quite a bit to the point of almost losing control.when i parked my car noticed one of my rear tires was slanted inward. Mymechanic saw it and said not to drive it.
The driver side door does not lock or unlock with key fab. The rear lift gate has the same problem. The door has to be manually unlocked and lock. The rear lift gate does not unlock and can not open.
Door actuators failed.door locks fail to lock and un-lock. Occurred at various times, using any means available to lock and un-lock the doors: the key fob, interior driver side and passenger side locks button on door, and manual manipulation of the interior door lock(s). The issue is experienced with all 4 door locks and rear hatch.have been unable to get in or lock the vehicle except manual use of key.unfortunately the rear hatch does not have a manual system and therefore can't be locked or opened.safety issue!
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the rear passenger side door would not unlock from the inside or outside with a key. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000.
My driver side rear door began malfunctioning when using the remote and button door lock controls. All doors would lock but the driver side rear door would remain unlocked. The same was true when unlocking all doors with remote or buttons. All doors would unlock accept the driver side rear door. The issue has now progressed to other doors in the car with increasing frequency including the rear hatch not opening at all and i have not manual button to flip to allow the hatch to open.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the front passenger door and the trunk doors could not be opened when engaged. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer fordiagnosis or repairs.the failure and current mileages were 69,000. Updated 10/17/12updated 10/24/2012
Rear hatch door will not open on my 2005 nissan murano.
I (female) loaded my trunk to empty my classroom for the summer. I filled my trunk with heavy boxes that needed to be moved. Once i got to where i was going my trunk would not open. I had to lay the seats down and pull everything out that way. Then it happened again when i had small children at the grocery and they had to stand beside the car b/c the trunk would not open for me to load it. Also my driver door will only lock or unlock with a key not the remote. I go to the places alone or with only small children quite a bit and do not feel this is safe. There have been people all over the us with problems on their muranos and other nissan vehicles dealing with the locks. Some even are unable to get their gas door to open!!nissan refuses to admit this is a problem. For the safety of everyone driving a nissan, this needs to be looked at. It would be very disturbing to be approached by a stranger in a parking lot and not be able to get away because the door won't open or to be unable to put gas in your vehicle b/c the door wouldn't open. The safety of children also comes into play when a door will not open.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver side seat was not welded to the frame. The dealerstated that the frame around the driver side seat was broken. The dealer informed the contact that the estimated repair was $1200. The manufacturer has not issued a recall; although, the contact has viewed several complaints. The contact is concerned about the safety risk since the driver side seat could separate from the frame if a crash occurred. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Seat frame seperation in the left rearcorner of driver seat. Seat frame is not connected welded joints have broken. Unsafe to drive in this condition i bought this car new in 2005 it has 80,000 miles on it and has never been in an accident. Fed government should make this a recall now before someone gets killed!
Nissan murano vin-[xxx]- driver side front seat rear frame defectmy vehicle driver side rear seat frame broke on 06/19/2010 approximately around noontime. As i was driving my murano nissan and came to a stop at a stoplight, i heard a hard snap and felt a little jerk towards my left side. Unsure of what it was, i continued to drive my vehicle down the road. As i was driving my vehicle, i felt a rough thumping underneath my seat. I thought for a minute that my front driver side tire was going flat or had some kind of problem. As i drove further to find a safe place to pull over to check it, i felt my front seat sway back and forth, as i accelerated and as i was braking. I accelerated again to make sure that the swaying motion was actually happening. Again, the swaying motion (back and forth) of the front seat occurred. I looked underneath the front driver side rear seat and saw what looked like a black metal track frame supporting the seat. In the area towards the rear left side of the frame was one of four metal prongs that were broken away from the metal track frame of the seat. Knowing that this was a very unsafe issue, i looked for help to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Using the internet, i found numerous shocking complaints sites regarding nissan muranos' rear seat breakage.i contacted a local news station (3onyourside), who investigated the issue and found it to be legitimate and true. Not only was my vehicle in question about the defective part, several hundred complaints were found throughout the internet.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I own a 2005 nissan murano that i bought used from carmax in 2007. I have had regular service performed by an asce certified mechanic since then. On 5/18/10 at less than 45k mi, the base of my driver seat suddenly broke one morning when i got into the car (parked in my garage). I weigh <120 lbs and was stunned. It was an obvious safety issue that could have resulted in serious injury, so i had it repaired immediately (5/20) through my regular mechanic. Total cost was $942.66 ($742.08 for the part & $127.50 for labor).i was extremely upset about being forced to pay so much for something beyond my control. Everyone agreed that it should never have happened, even my local nissan dealership. The dealership confirmed it was classified as a mechanical defect, checked recalls (none), and suggested i call nissan consumer affairs specifically to request goodwill assistance (compensation for repairs). They said since i had the repair done at an asce certified mechanic, the request should be fine. Nissan consumer affairs took my info & and established a case #6838133 on 6/9/10. I was assured i would be contacted by a regional specialist w/n 24 hours.when i did not receive a return call, i placed 5 more calls over the next several weeks. All assured me they were urgently requesting the regional specialist/supervisor to contact me. I re-contacted my local nissan dealership at that point, who then attempted to call on my behalf and seek assistance through their area representative. After the 7th call, ms. Jimenez (rude) called back to explain that nissan's policy doesn't allow compensation for repairs not handled by nissan, even though nissan employees told me differently and were calling on my behalf. I want compensation for the $942.66 i paid for a manufacturer's mechanical breakdown-seat base should not have broken- which could have caused serious injury or death to me/my passengers. Ca dca found similar 2008 complaint thru nhtsa dismissed b/c no one hurt badly enough?!!?
Front seat broken on driver's side.the front seat driver frame has broken in 2 places making the seat a safety hazard.my wife and i are the only drivers of our 2005 murano se.it has 6 way electric seats.now we have to lower the seat to the floor in order to stabilize the seat.otherwise the seat assembly & frame will end up breaking completely off at the frame. My local mechanic says he's never seen a seat frame break at 2 places like ours.i have not contacted nissan as of yet to see if this is under warranty or not but you would think the seat assembly would last for the lifetime of the vehicle.i weigh 230 pounds and my wife weighs approx. 185 no one has ever driven our vehicle but us other than garage repairmen.i found a web site that has a detailed drawing of the seat and mechanism that is broken.the web site is www.nissanpartswarehouse.com then go to "seats and tracks" then "tracks and components" then "connector rod adjuster" click on "view illustration" and it is part #1 in the drawing.this part bolts directly onto the vehicle frame chassis.the part is broken at 2 places on the front connection.the breaks are where the rod connects to the right and left sides of this part.i can send you a diagram if you will send me an e-mail where i can attach this diagram.here's the complete web site address below.http://www.nissanpartswarehouse.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getjointlocator&siteid=214315&chapter=§ionids=0,51873&groupid=51876&subgroupid=3241&componentid=2666&make=25&model=murano&year=2005&catalogid=2&displaycatalogid=0i've been to a few other web sites and noticed other people who have murano's that have also experienced broken driver seat assemblies. Thank you for your time.
While driving the car, my front seat suddenly broke pitting me towards the driver side window. Seat was leaning toward the driver side window.on wednesday, october 17, 2007 brought my 2005 nissan murano to the nissan dealer located in morristown, nj (open road nissan service department).i was told that the driver side seat frame broke. In order to fix the driver side seat frame of the vehicle, the cost to would be $900 plus dollars. What if i were in an accident - this seat may have been a factor to serious injury.why is a seat frame breaking on a vehicle with 48,500 miles - not yet three years old.i keep my cars for more than 10 years and no vehicle i ever owned did a seat just break.seems to me this is a dangerous situation that needs to be reviewed on nissan muranos. I am very concerned for safety of this vehicle.
Found rear sub frame is rotted to a point that renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. Dealer quote to replace rear sub frame and control arms and mounts is approximately $4000. Dealer requires full "customer pay" despite this rotting problem being a repair "campaign" on other nissan models with same issue.
While driving my car the rear passenger subframe busted, caused my car to pull left and right until i could get off to the side of the road safely. I was on a highway traveling about 60mph when this happened. I have contacted nissan about the subframe problem and they had me take it to a local dealer to be evaluated. Upon evaluation the total cost of having my rear subframe repaired is $5,022.37 invoice number on this quote is q7812. Nissan has a warranty extension on the 2002-2005 altima subframe, for 13 years and unlimited miles. Campaign p5216 and service bulletin ntb05-114b. Where my concern is,that my murano has the same subframe as the altima but nissan refuses to repair my vehicle. My vehicle had the exact same issue as the altima and could have killed or severely injured me while i was on that highway.

Car has a broken suspension and stabilization bar, car in previous accident not disclosed to buyer. Car should not be on road as it is very unsafe tires are spreading in a triangular dimension due to previous damage.
I am the original owner of 2005 murano.i noticed a problem with hydroplaning soon after purchase, and have always been extremely careful and on guard when driving in rain or even when streets are wet.this would happen with brand new tires and tires that were slightly worn so the tires don't seem to be the problem, unless its the type of tire but its not the tread on the tire.the car came with goodyear eagle p235/65 r18 tires and i have replaced with same tires when nissan service department advised of tread wear.on july 22, 2013 i was on my way home from gatlinburg with daughter and 2 year old granddaughter in car.we were caught in downpour going through knoxville.i truly cannot believe we are alive.my car would continually lose traction and it would slide to one side until it would grab traction before going off the road or wrecking.something is terribly wrong with the murano in regards to hydroplaning.i also have had the problem with the driver's side visor coming down and will not stay up since a couple years after i bought the car.i love everything else about my murano and due to hydroplaning safety issue i will not be purchasing another one.please take this issue up with nissan before people are killed.i cannot afford to replace my murano at this time so if there is anything that can be done please, please help me take care of this issue. This is definitely a manufacturer problem.there is no doubt people have been killed because of this problem but was not proven because didn't live to tell what happened.what can i do at this point to prevent becoming a statistic and more importantly ensure the safety of my precious cargo? i feel lucky to be alive.

I've been having problems with this car every month since i bought it in 2011 from arrow motors inc, 2225 wakeling st phila pa 19137. The never disclose to me of the issues. If they ran a car fax i would have know. It wasn't until recently when i attempted to sell the car and was informed through car fax that it was in 5 accidents. If i had known this i would have never bought the car. This is completely unjust.
The rear sub frame is rusted out and needs to be replaced. There are hundredsof complaints on the same issue with the sub frame rusting out on these murano models and making the vehicle unsafe to drive. Why was this issue never addressed with a recall when the sub frame is obviously defective with rusting out.nissan should replace these defective parts at their expense, not mine....
All of my locks no longer work.i have seen countless complaints about this very issue and nothing is getting done about it.i thought nissan was suppose to be one of the best out there.i'll never buy another nissan again if they continue not to assist their customers.i also have the air intake issue, thankfully that was recalled and will be fixed.i had to replace the front struts, oil cooler gasket, front sway bar links and the battery has been changed 3 times now.very disappointed with nissan and so embarrassed to even talk about the issues with this car.:(
I too own a 2005 nissan murano.although my car has more mileage than the earlier entry,i was also told that the lower control arms are defective in these cars. Other service providers have also informed me that they have repaired many nissan murano with the same problem.there should be a recall.the problem is that people are not made aware that they need to report these issues so they just spend hundreds on repairs.thisshould be recalled.i am sure nissan has an inventory of how many they have repaired and charged customers hundreds of dollars.this is a safety matter as this is part of the suspension.
I am the original owner of a 2005 nissan murano. It has 63500 miles on it and i have been told that both lower control arms are about to fail by my local nissan dealer. This is a dangerous situation, as these should not be failing with this amount of miles on the vehicle. Nissan refuses to help me with these repairs.
Dt: contacts stated when hitting a bump in the highway the rear of the vehicle will go to the right. The steering wheel itself is 15 degrees to the right.the vehicles rear wheel on driver's side will point toward the passenger's side of the vehicle. This problem occurs when the roads conditions are with snow or ice. There is no prior warning. There is a noise when applying the front brakes. He contacted the dealer.however, they offered no free remedy.
2 tpms sensors failed and cost $285 to replace.batteries failed in each sensor requiring a full replacement of each unit.tire pressure light would come on after 10 miles, leading the driver to believe that there was a pressure problem when there really was not an issue, which could create a safety concern.
Drivers side seat is loose and started to dip towards the left. The seat is broken. I looked online and can see this is a recurring problem. Also the panel where you can push to lock awd or put on the seat warmers has sunk into the panel.
Door locks starting with drivers side passenger and now the driver door will not lock or unlock unless manually changed with lever or key. This is a huge safety issue and should be addressedpassenger doors are random however are starting to show similar signsthanks in advance.
On 08/10/2010 we paid our local nissan dealer $470.93 to repair the driver side door lock. Before the repair the driver's door we could not open with the key fob or with the interior manual lock. We had to use the door key. Now all the other doors are acting the same way. They do not unlock or lock with the key fob or interior manual lock. Note: there is only one key hole on the exterior of the car.this is a huge safety issue. Numerous times we have had children in the back seat that we can't get out of the car without having to climb over and manually switching the door from locked to unlocked. Also, when we think the door is locked it sometimes isn't, which is another safety issue. Nissan wants us to pay to have each door fixed. I have never had a car that i couldn't get in or couldn't get out of. I believe this is a huge safety issue and would like a recall on this car and have nissan reimburse me for the driver door lock that i already paid.
My driver's side sun visor would not remain in the up position.when vehicle went in @ 30 days or so, i reported this with some other minor needed repairs.it was the dealership on pearl rd., route 42 in brunswick that also handled subaru's.it was originally a leased vehicle under allied leasing.i reported problem again at approximately 24 months.then - i reported it again when car went in for service in january of 2011.visor no longer adjustable - won't remain in up position - flops down in front of your eye blocking vision constantly.replacement estimate from dealer $300-$400 for part even if we install ourselves!important - repeating problem back to 1996 sentras.many complaints found on the internet!nissan refused to repair under warranty as well as post warranty!you are either trying to see underneath it...swing it to the side out of the way - but then your eyes have no protection against blinding sunlight!not only dangerous - but uncomfortable and inconvenient.i would have no problem paying if visor was reasonably priced - but nissan prices it obscenely!
I was driving down the city road and it just felt like the car shut off and no longer got gas almost like an alternator would do i could put it in park and there would still be power you could hear the engine again i would put it back in drive or even tried a low gear no gears was making my car move but it would make sound in parkthe battery light and brake light then came on and my car died shortly after completely already workwhile studying your recalls i noticed the make and model of my car had certain recalls with the alternator of faulty wire in it when i try to report this they told me it was the wrong batch but it's funny my car is doing the same thing do to my car doing this you can no longer move your vehicle so it is dangerous it stops you right in the middle of the road you cannot gas it to go your website mentions a failsafe mode that it may have fell into
2005 nissan murano - drivers side sun visor is broken and will not stay in the up position. Falls suddenly and completely blocks vision of the road. I have almost been in several accidents due to this issue. Nissan says it is not a warranty issue.
I bought my 05 murano from the dealership for $6000 and i only drove it for 3 months before the alternator and the transmission went. I paid $600 for the alternator to be repaired and 2 weeks later the transmission went. The dealership said that it would cost me $4200 to fix the transmission. They refused to give me any sort of discount. I got 3 months out of a $6000+ dollar car. I am so upset this has caused so many problems in my life in so many ways. I can't believe nissan ismorally ok with ripping me off like this.
Drivers side sun visor does not stay up or in place when down.falls down while driving and obstructs the view of the road.it also can't be used to block the suns glare because it doesn't stay at the adjusted angle.
On my 2005 nissan murano all doors, including gas door, except drivers door will periodically fail to lock or unlock using the door lock button on drivers door or key fob. The problem appears to be linked to the ambient temperature, most likely to occur on hot days. The sounds you hear are the same just sometimes the lock button just wiggles slightly, rather than moving enough to lock or unlock the doors. This problem occurs at any time, regardless of vehicle movement. I find it odd for all lock actuators too fail at the same time, then start working again at the same time. The dealer wants 1600-2000 dollars to replace all lock actuators.
Approx. 3 weeks ago. While traveling home my 2005 nissan murano would just come to a complete stop, without warning. I wait about 5 minutes and it would start up again. Then last week 6/19 while traveling on a hwy 9a south it did it again while going a speed of 65, then on 6/20. It did the same exact thing 5 times. I took it into the coggin nissan the same exact day. They have put on it on there diagnostic machine, was unable to determined the cause, so, they said that they would have to keep it until they determined the cause of the stalling.
My intake air duct comes off,causing stalling, bad gas mileage, running bad & throwing maff codes... This problem begin happening around early november 2016 & happens often. I'm trying to avoid a crash, this is heart renching.
Iwas at a traffic light waiting for it to turn green.when i stepped on the gas, i realized that it had turned off.tried to re-start.flashed dash signs and then nothing not even a click.i was on a very busy street at night in the rain.my hazardbutton lasted for 5 minutes and then it went out. I thoughtmy car wasgoing to be hit.a man across the street pulled me out of harms way.with the police directing traffic, my son and several people that stopped, helped to push thecar to safety.my car was able to be jumped and driven home.i will not drive it until i know what is wrong with it.lam the original owner and it has 98,000 miles on it.it looks like the 2005 has a recall on the alternator, buti never got that done.i still have not had it looked at.looking at the complaint a lot of people have several alternators replaced and the problem is still not fixed. Does anyone know why the vehicle would turn off with no warning? .
I have avoided one accident and had a few close calls when my drivers side visor dropped in front of me while driving. This is a serious safety concern and needs to be addressed immediately.it occurred while driving on highway us19 in pinellas county florida.my attention was diverted by the visor falling that i almost rear ended the vehicle in front of me.
Rear hatch door does not unlock. I took them car to the selling agency and was charged approximately 500 dollars to repair the lock. It worked for approximately 3 months and the problem arose again. They agency stated that they had to chargeme an additional 120 dollars just to check out their problem. I didn't pursue the fix because i thought they inspection fee was unwarranted. They situation remains.
Failure of door locking mechanism was first noticed when fuel filler door would not open; remote key recycled several times and fuel-filler door opened. Next time, several months later, the right passenger door would not open by passenger. Again, remote key recycled several times and door opened. Yesterday, when trying to unlock the trunk lid the door-lock/unlock mechanism failed and trunk lid and right front passenger door were both impossible to open. After many attempts using both the remote keypad and using the manual key method the doors were finally unlocked. To test the system , the doors were locked using the manual key and both the trunk lid and the right front passenger doors remained unlocked. The system is unreliable for security purposes and potentially life-threatening in case the passengers needed to egress the vehicle quickly in case of being stalled on railroad tracks, fire or in a water submersion situation.
2005 nissan murano sun visor on the driver's seat falling off suddenly and blocking driver vision.
2005 murano purchased 6 yrs ago has 67,000 mi on it. Have never had a problem previously but has started burning oil. Have kept up on regular maintenance but was lax this time. Car went 5,000 mi before having a problem with smoke from exhaust and pinging noise. Took to mechanic and was told that the oil was 3 1/2 qts low. My mechanic thinks i might need to rebuild the engine or buy new. He will check it in a week to see if it's still burning oil. He changed the oil and wants to monitor it before we make the decision to do additional work. I never had any indication that it was low on oil. My fault for not checking it but would think i would have gotten an indicator light. Anyone else burning thru oil like this?
When driving my nissan murano especially on hot days/in stop & go traffic, the vehicle fails to respond to the depression of the accelerator.when it happens (~1x/week), the vehicle will be at a complete stop & not begin to accelerate after depressing the accelerator until around 3k rpms.the problem is resolved by cycling the vehicle off then on, given that the driving conditions don't remain in the form which appeared to initiate the incident.in one instance (and only once), the vehicle was left running, with the a/c on while i made a quick run into a convienence store.after backing out of the parking space without a problem, the vehicle exhibited it's slight hesitation while in drive, but then lurched forward at ~3k rpms, and acquired the desired speed and manuevers.after waiting at the light just outside of the parking lot, the vehicle would not respond to the depression of the accelerator in the form of movement.that is, the engine would rev to as much as 5k rpms, but not move more the .5-1mph.the usual cycling of the engine off & then on, would not resolve the problem.the next destination was nearby (1mi.) & downhill, so i was able to coast, in neutral, to that location whilst being honked at & nearly rear-ended by oncoming traffic.after the vehicle had sat at that location for ~3hrs, there were no other problems of the like.it is worth mentioning the hesitation problem was not experienced for the remainder of the day.however, it wasn't too long before the original problem returned.no check engine light, no other mechanical issues i have noticed.no correlations other than that of temperature and/or stop and go traffic.another important note is that those correlations are not dependent upon each other; the problem can/does occur in the absence of either.however, it is typically not seen without at least one of those factors present.
I own a 2005 nissan murano and have had numerous "incidents" regarding a continuling problem with the driver's side sun visor. The mechanism that holds the visor upright and in an angle position to block the sun is not working and repeatedly drops and droops rather unexpectedly to the point of hindering my ability of driving safely. Numerous times while driving on the highway the visor drops and blocks my view several times this has nearly caused an accident.i have talked to the nissan dealer and they say it is not a safety issue, there is no recall infomation and i must replace on my own expense regardless if i have a warranty. I have contacted the dealer i purchased the vehicle from and have not had any solutions other than to pay over $500 to fix the problem. I find this outrageous and danderous. An online search yeilds a large number of other murano owners with the same problem.
Tends to happen when it is warmer weather outside - all four door locks will not operate correctly (unlock or lock) with keyfob. Life gate will also not unlock or lock correctly unless passenger side doors are unlocked.safety concern.has been happening for a couple years now but just found out about this website.
Takata recall..i drove my 2005 nissan muranoand i parked the nissan. 20 minutes later started to back the car and as soon as i put it on dr it went by 2 miles an hour so then i pressed on the gas all the way down and it still went to miles an hour it's still drove but it was going around 5 miles an hour. Then i parked the nissan and let it cool off and see what was wrong. I could not find nothing, i called my husband he could not find nothing either, he drove it around the block and it still went 5 miles an hour so then he checked the engine nothing was wrong but it did say abs and then around 20 minutes later the nissan turn on and it went normal and nothing happened until 2 months later. The next time i was at a drive-thru and then all of a sudden the abs turn on and it did not want to go fast it went again five miles an hour. Then i turn around the corner and then it went fast but then it went slow again so i park the nissan, and begin to start it and then it wouldn't start the abs went on again, then the battery was dead. I finally got a jump and it turned back on like normal and it went normal until i got to the store and i left the nissan on with the air condition and had my son in the car. My son said that air conditioner keep going on and off on and off the windows were not working try to roll down the windows it wasn't working so then i got in the car and as soon as i put it in dry it didn't want to go it went 5 miles an hour then the abs turned back on and then it went back to normal i was driving i made it all the way home and that is what's going on with a nissan murano.
2005 nissan murano driver sun visor willl not stay up, especially in cold or wet weather posing a driver view obstruction safety issue.
My driver door will not open and i can't figure out how to get it open. I would roll the window up and it sounded like it was snagging on something it would stop with a inchto go and the door would pop open then i roll the all the way down and it snagged on something and door would finally shut. Now it's stuck shut
Thecadillac converters are junk and you guys oughta be ashamed of yourself for not recall and i'm on all the ones that they've all had problems with because there's been several and it's not a cheap fix just had one fix now the other 2 went out and i haven't even had the vehicle 30 days.
This was the third time the air intake hose fell off while the car was in motion causing the engine to instantly stall leaving the car disabled with no steering control.the first two times were in residential areas, but the third time was on a heavily traveled road at night causing a serious and extremely dangerous situation.the car was almost struck several times while i was removing my toddler from the backseat of the disabled car.each of the three times the car has stalled i brought the car to nissan the next day and they said they previously replaced a different recall part in the air intake system, but the way the car was designed made the other end of the air intake hose likely to fall off due to vibration.they showed me how removing the air filter during routine maintenance can loosen the air intake hose, even when the clamp is tightened.i asked them to fix this problem and they said there was nothing they could do, it was just the way the hose was designed.i cannot imagine what could have happened if i had taken the highway home and the car had stalled at higher speeds.the suggested fix from nissan was to tighten the hose clamps each time the car is used, but it has happened three times now supposedly after the clamps were tightened by nissan service mechanics.this seems to be a serious defect and i am grateful that nobody hit us while the car was stalled.after three times, i am too scared to ever drive the car again.
I had a transmission put in my murano but no one can program it i've already spent 2,300.00 i'm so frustrated my murano only has 123,000 miles on it now the car want start ,won't show mileage or anything
Sun visor on driver side continuously falls down while driving.
Driver's sun visor will not stay up.will drop down and obscure vision at any moment.passenger sun visor is now doing the same thing.will not stay up, drops down without notice.
I had a check engine light and an airbag light appear on my dash. While driving on the beltway the abs light came on and my car slowed down and wouldn't tee pond to the gas pedal. After about 2 minutes it kicked back in so i took it to get a diagnostic from a nissan dealer the next morning. They told me everything was fine according to the computer there were a lot of codes that popped up but they told me they weren't happening anymore. I asked of they checked all of the wires they told me yes. So i took my vehicle and later that night while driving back from lunch break the abs light came on again and the murano slowed down as before only this time it cut completely off. It only held a jump for about 5 blocks before it cut off again. I had it towed back to the dealer the next morning and they told me they can't check anything unless i purchase a new battery so i bought a new battery and they put it in and told me everything was fine again it just needed a new battery. They told me everything was reading fine but in my opinion that was because it was feeding off the juice of a new battery. About 2 hours after leaving the dealer the same thing happen again with a new battery while i was driving. The abs light came on the car slowed down this time the meters went crazy then it cut off. Only by the grace of god that no one was injured with my car cutting off while i'm driving. I called the dealer and they were not willing to do anything different and they told me my vin number is not under a recall. I called nissan consumer affairs after a week of waiting and unreturned calls i finally talked to a regional manager from tennessee by the name of [xxx] only because i got transferred to him and all he told me was nissan will not help you out financially. He didn't discuss the issue or offer solutions and showed no concern for safety only money even though i never asked for it.

I have a 2005 nissan murano which is two wheel drive with the ctv transmission. We were coming back from vacation from colorado when the problem started.several times during the trip when we were coming down a hill with the cruise control on the car would try to maintain the selected speed however if the hill was a little to big it would turn off the cruise control it self. We were just south of san antonio the last time that it had turned off the the cruise. The problem was when it turned off the cruise it also disabled the transmission. It was rather scary as we were driving in rush hour traffic when it did it. We were coming down a hill when the cruise turned it self off and in the process the car started to slow down and we were in the middle lane. All we could do was turn on the right turn signal and hope no one would hit us. Once we had gotten to the shoulder and stopped i had realized the engine was still running but the transmission wouldn't respond. I had put it in park and back into drive but the car wouldn't respond. I figured if i shut the engine off and restarted it that maybe it would reset whatever was wrong. I restarted the engine and the whole dash lit up. One by one the lights had gone out except the "service the engine soon" light. However the transmission worked and has worked since.by the time we had gotten home and gotten an appointment to take it in to a nissan dealer the light had gone out. We had taken it to the charlie clark nissan in harlingen texas and they had it for two days and never had a problem with it. The reason they didn't have a problem is that we have no hills as we live in the valley and there are no hills here. They said that they had checked everything that could cause the problem and everything was to specification. So nothing was adjusted , or replaced so as far as i'm concerned the problem is still there and the next time we get into the hill country it will probably act up again.
I purchased a pre-owned murano with the extended warranty.a few months ago i had the oil changed and was notified the transfer case was leaking.i brought the car to a nissan dealership to be fixed.the leaks were fixed, a few days later there was an intense burning smell.i brought the car back in to the nissan dealer and they fixed it again.i was told there were some more leaks found.now after driving the car in stop and go traffic for a long period of time the car will not accelerate properly.there is a 4 second delay then the car lurches forward.when i turn the car off for a while and turn it back on the problem seems to go away.i brought it again to the nissan dealer and they will do nothing because they cannot replicate the problem.i was told the warranty will not pay for parts unless the problem can be duplicated at the dealer.this is a serious safetly issue and i am no longer comfortable driving this car.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle decelerated without manual force and idled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
While driving on the highway my car was doing 2 rpm even when i pressed my gas pedtal down to the floor it wouldn't rev up which olny cause the car the car to do 10mph onced it reached 15mph it just shut off as i was drving on the highway thank god it was kind of late so i was able to steer my car on the shoulder i waited a good 10 to 15 minutes then it started back up still having rough idle problems the next day took it to the shop and trouble shooting codes popped up regarding both o2 sensors being replaced, i fixed the problem then a month later my car started jerking as i drive took it back to my mechanic the crankshaft sensor went bad so i ended up replacing that senor as wellwhich now my car only reaches a maxium of 55mphi don't drive my car on the highway due to my car still having idle issues and now i notice my car burns oil really fast and my oli light indicator don't pop up on the dash board like it suppose to the only way i know my car needs oil now is when i hear like a fan noise coming from under the hood, nissan you guys really need to take this car off the market as i have read im not the only driver having this issue with this svu its rasing safety concerns their are 960 complaints!!! i use my car to get back and fourth to work, take my daughter to school and i have no money to buy a new car please fix this problem!!!! its not right to keep this car on the market.
Back in april my murano would turn off whether i was accelerating or just sitting at a stop light, the brake light and battery light would come on and vehicle wouldnt start back up, ended up having it towed 3 different times to mechanic who couldnt figure out what was wrong because it wasnt showing any codes so from there had it towed to newton nissan where it took them 10 days to diagnose it was the alternator (replaced battery first but that didnt work)ended up getting the nissan alternator versus aftermarket for the warranty, get it back everything is fine, now in august alternator fails out again, back to newton nissan we go, the replace "alternator" and when i get it back power steering isnt working so after the fixed that everything was fine until it started shutting off on me again like the very first time. Meanwhile ive had to pay over $1000 for the alternator work which was recalled however my vin didnt fall under the recall. Engine compartment and hood of car are also so hot you cant touch them even after just driving 1 mile in 70 degreee weather however the temperature gauge isnt running high. Now the airbag light is flashing onand off upon starting. I tried cycling the engine nurmerous times but the light is still on. Nissan said they will have to replace whole unit for $5000 because they cant pin point airbag issue. Airbag issue isnt fixed and nobody can tell me if i have a working air bag or not. Im not sure if i need to contact an attorney because im now concerned about the safety of my 4 year old daughter while in the vehicle.
While driving the consumer's 2005 nissan murano came to a sudden stop due to problems with the throttle, throttle chamber and/or accelerator.
Vehicle takes minutes to pick up speed especially true when it is on a stop position either in an intersection or traffic light intersection.i put my foot on the gas and press all the way down where it slowly moves, pick up a speed and do the same thing for each stop sign or traffic stop light.when starting the vehicle, it makes a screeching sound.if able to drive, steering wheel sometimes have that slight shaking.we have been experiencing these issues for more than a year now.tires were changed and brakes changed but issues still a big concern.
Car loses power while driving. Codes p1700 and c1210 pop up in computer. No one can tell me what is wrong. Airbag light is on. No one can turn it off or tell me if it will work.
When i'm idol at a stop sigh or red light then try to accelerate, i have to press the pedal down several times before the car will move. Yesterday, when i press the pedal, it sticks and accelerates fast. It seems like it has the potential torun into traffic or into another car.i had this check at the dealership but they could not find a problem but there is a problem. I will take it back to have it checked again.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano.while coming to a stop at an unknown speed, the vehicle accelerated when the brake pedal was repeatedly depressed.the vehicle failed to decelerate and crashed into a brick building.the front passenger sustained injuries to the chest and both knees.a police report was filed.the vehicle was towed to a mechanic and for severe front end damage.the building was also damaged.prior to the crash, the front driver and passenger side windows along with all four power door locks activated independently while the vehicle was parked.the vehicle was being repaired.the manufacturer was not notified.the failure mileage was 76,000.
I was driving my car and the engine acted like it was going to stall and wouldn't respond by giving it gas. Then it just lurched forward abrubtly and began to run normally. Then after about 2 more blocks while we're going 45 mph it completely stalled out in the middle lane of a 3 lane road. This caused the car behind me to almost rearend us but the cars behind them actually did get into a crash trying to stop from hitting them. Thankfully a police car was a few cars back and was able to put their lights on and push my car out of traffic because we couldn't even get out of the car with cars whizzing past us on both sides. Thank god or we could've been involved in a multiple car crash and one of us could have gotten hurt. This happened on 07/13/18. I paid about $600 to replace the alternator and fix something in the cooling system. Now it is only a month later, 08/15/18, and it's done it again. It stalled in the middle of a construction zone driving 35mph while taking my child to school causing traffic to back up. The cars were driving through the construction cones/signs to our right illegally or they were driving down the shared turn lane on our left to get around me. About 200 cars drove past us without bothering to offer help and even after calling 911 for help, it took them almost an hour to show up and once again had to push us off the road to safety. This is creating a huge safety concern. I saw recall 09v169000 for similar or same issue for my model/year but when i look up my vin it says i have no recalls. I had spent almost $1300 about 3-4 yrs ago to fix this very same "stalling while driving" issue and thought i was past all this. Now i'm back to square 1 and issue still exists! why is thisnissan murano flaw not covered for all murano's with this problem? pease research my vin# and see if it can be included in the recall before one of us gets seriously hurt?
Hi,my 2005 nissan murano has a sun visor that will not stay up.it needed to be replaced twice.a defect visor could block driver's view, or if the visor is removed completely and sun shines right into the eyes of the driver that could blind driver from seeing the road.regards,

My 2005 nissan murano drivers side sun visor will not stay up. This has been going on for months. It falls several times, every time we driver the car. Have seen hundreds of posts on this issue. This is a serious safety issue. When the sun visor falls my husband can not see out the window. He almost ran into the back of another car the last time he drove. This should be a safety recall.

The driver's side visor will not stay in the stowed position. It falls down into the driver's line of sight obstructing his/her vision.

The driver side sun visor will fall down from any postion and block visabily out of the windshield. It will also scare the driver causing hands to leave the steering wheel in self preservation and to move the visor out of the viewing area. This does not happen all of the time. So each time it does happen iit is a shock to the driver. There is no aftermarket repair. The dealer wants in excess of $300 to replace it. There is no guarentee that the replacement will not perform as the original. I have tried to velcro the visor in the up position but velcro will not stick to the head liner very well. Also i need the visor in more than just an up or down position.
Approximately two months ago my driver side sun visor began to drop, unexpectedly without my touching it. It now no longer stays up at all and i have had to remove it entirely.

I've also contacted nissan the dealer refuses to correct it even though it is a safety issue and the company web site complaint form process doesn't reply. This will cause serious accidents why wait for people to die before action is taken to correct the problem.

Both sun visors on my nissan murano started flopping vertically down. They do not stay up, nortilted downwards against the windshield.as a result my view gets disturbed while startling me. Have checked with the dealer when getting another repair. They say that it costs $300-$500 each to replace them. No used sun visors are available in the after market as all sun visors tend to go bad.this is a 100% common safety issue with all murano's and very expensive replacement where this should not have happened. I am 51 years old and never experienced this with any cars i have ever had.

From what i have read, this is an ongoing issue and a serious safety issue for drivers. People who have gotten them replaced continue to have this issue and the visor should be recalled and replaced with one that works in every other car. There are a lot of complaints here and it doesn't appear that anyone is doing anything about it.

The passenger side visor came lose and has now completely fallen off my 2005 nissan murano.this is a safety issue.at first the issue was i could not see because it would not stay up and now its still and issue because it came off and i can't block the sun when i am driving.living in south florida where the sun is always shining this is not safefor driving.there needs to be a recall for this.it's an obvious problem that most of us are having.i have had this problem for over two years and thought it was only me.who knows how many people out there don't know that is a factory problem.what needs to happen, someone to get into a serious accident for nissan to so something about it? they rather get sued for millions rather than taking care of this?

2005 nissan murano----- sun visors will not stay in any set position. This is a driving safety hazard.
Like everyone else here my 2005 nissan murano sun visor driver's side won't stay up and it flops down. I agree that this is a very serious safety issue. I refuse to pay $500 to have a defect originally from nissan repaired properly. The visor is totally loose and won't stay up nor will it stay put to block the sun since it's so loose that it simply flops straight down. I have resorted to using duck tape to tape it in the up position so it doesn't flop down when i hit a bump traveling down the road at 70+ mph. It's a serious safety issue and i'm mad as *** about it. The passenger side has a similar problem but it's not as bad - probably just due to less usage on the passenger side.

I am the original owner of 2005 murano.i noticed a problem with hydroplaning soon after purchase, and have always been extremely careful and on guard when driving in rain or even when streets are wet.this would happen with brand new tires and tires that were slightly worn so the tires don't seem to be the problem, unless its the type of tire but its not the tread on the tire.the car came with goodyear eagle p235/65 r18 tires and i have replaced with same tires when nissan service department advised of tread wear.on july 22, 2013 i was on my way home from gatlinburg with daughter and 2 year old granddaughter in car.we were caught in downpour going through knoxville.i truly cannot believe we are alive.my car would continually lose traction and it would slide to one side until it would grab traction before going off the road or wrecking.something is terribly wrong with the murano in regards to hydroplaning.i also have had the problem with the driver's side visor coming down and will not stay up since a couple years after i bought the car.i love everything else about my murano and due to hydroplaning safety issue i will not be purchasing another one.please take this issue up with nissan before people are killed.i cannot afford to replace my murano at this time so if there is anything that can be done please, please help me take care of this issue. This is definitely a manufacturer problem.there is no doubt people have been killed because of this problem but was not proven because didn't live to tell what happened.what can i do at this point to prevent becoming a statistic and more importantly ensure the safety of my precious cargo? i feel lucky to be alive.

The failure is with my 2005 nissan murano. The sun visor on the driver side no longer works property and drops down blocking my eye line. Without having it tapped up in place it could cause a serious accident. Nissan claims it is not a defect although there are thousands of people online with the same exact problem. I can't afford $350 to get a new one and nissan refuses to help out their loyal customers. A recall needs to happen in order to fix all of the visors. I don't remember the exact date it started falling, so i'm putting an estimate.
Driver's side visor on 2005 murano has lost its ability to stay in the up position reliably, causing it to drop into the driver's line of sight frequently and with no notice, causing a total obscurities of the road.have investigated this problem online and it seems to be rampant in this model car.only solution from dealer is to charge an outrageous $400 to replace the visor.

Driver's side sun visor falling down while driving. Won't fall all the way down-just enough to be in line of vision. Talked to nissan about replacement parts-not covered by warranty and b/w $350-$425 to replace(not including labor!) something needs to be done about this-high risk for accident-trying to use velcro at this time to keep in place-not really working!! just hit 60,000miles on it!
The right sun visor in my 2005 nissan murano falls down.my husband about turned into a car because this thing as in his line of vision.not safe and a piece of junk for a sun visor.i had to replace the driver side about 2 years ago..

The sun visor on the driver's side will not stay in the upward or "not in use" position. I can be driving and it will fall down blocking my vision while driving. In the beginning i thought it was only my car but after researching and talking with dealership it is a common malfunction.dealership said they are aware but the problem cannot be fixed by recall because nissan has not given them the "okay."in order to fix problem a new visor would need to be installed with visor part alone costing $200+.i currently have to pull over the extension visor on the passenger side to hold up the driver's side sun visor, and the driver's side visor will still fall down at random times blocking my vision and at times at very crucial moments. I feel this is a major safety hazard and a defect product installed by nissan. In the beginning i tried to get nissan to fix but to no avail. I would have filed a complaint before now but was not aware of your website, which i believe nissan dealerships should have filed with nissan, and may have but nothing has been done about this safety hazard. I hope your company can help get this recalled before someone driving a murano with this defect gets injured or causes injury to other motorist.

It's loose when in the up position, and if the car hits a bump, it falls in front of the driver. It is difficult to drive with it down all the time, and quite dangerous when it's up and all of a sudden falls when driving. It costs $375 for a replacement visor. Both the local nissan dealer and the corporation refused to assist with the cost of the part, and this is a problem that, according to internet research (and the local dealer's own admission), numerous other people have encountered. This issue poses a serious safety hazard, yet is cost-prohibitive to have fixed.
2005 muranosun visorsbroke and fell half way down blocking some of my driving view.they want over $325.00 for a new one times 2 = $650.00without any assurance that replacements will not do the same. The only answer i get is out of warranty. Perhaps you could give me some help to remedy this issue short of sewing a snap to the roof.thank you for any cooperation.
I just bought my 2005 nissan murano in may 2009 and have just started experiencing my drivers side visor will not stay up. At first i though it was just going to happen a few time, but now it wont stay up but for like 2 minutes then falls back down. I think that this is a major saftey issue, because for that split second that the visor is down i could wreck. I have also heard of other complaints because of passenger side visors doing the same thing, but nothing seems to be getting done. Obviously this is a defect and something should get replaced.
2005 nissan murano (40k miles). My driver side sun visor started falling down in my face while driving. Also passenger side sun visor has same problem.
Electronic door lock on the driver side would sporadically unlock or lock door...now is all the time and must be locked manually.this is a safety hazard when trying enter the vehicle in an un secure environment or can result in stolen merchandise or parts left in the vehicle. Driver side sun visor also well not stay in upright position and drops suddenly blocking the view of the driver.
The driver side sun visor arbitrarily drops into view from the stored position causing a distraction and momentarily blocking the driver's vision.this is a dangerous situation given the distraction, blocked vision, and daily occurrences.
I own a 2005 nissan murano and have had numerous "incidents" regarding a continuling problem with the driver's side sun visor. The mechanism that holds the visor upright and in an angle position to block the sun is not working and repeatedly drops and droops rather unexpectedly to the point of hindering my ability of driving safely. Numerous times while driving on the highway the visor drops and blocks my view several times this has nearly caused an accident.i have talked to the nissan dealer and they say it is not a safety issue, there is no recall infomation and i must replace on my own expense regardless if i have a warranty. I have contacted the dealer i purchased the vehicle from and have not had any solutions other than to pay over $500 to fix the problem. I find this outrageous and danderous. An online search yeilds a large number of other murano owners with the same problem.
While driving at highway speeds the sun visor on both drivers and passager side swing down and block the vision of the driver. The cost to replace the visors is $800.00, at this cost it makes you thing nissan is aware of this problem and chooses to make a profit on these instead on considering the safety aspect of their customers. I feel there should be a safety recall after reading the number of complaints on this. *ln

2005 nissan murano drivers side sun visor will not stay up. Visor falls unexpectedly causing the driver to be momentarily blinded. This is a safety issue and nissan needs to offer replacement spring clips to keep the visor out of the drivers vision.
When driving over a bump or driving on a bumpy road the driver's side sun visor falls or drops down unexpectedly. It appears that the visor is not tightly held by the bracket that it sits on.when this occurs, there is complete loss of vision through the front windshield.when driving at higher speeds (or any speed for that matter), this loss of vision might cause an accident if the visor is not raised up quickly enough.i have researched this problem online and i have found that there are many, many other nissan murano owners with the same complaint, especially for owners with model years 2005, 2006 and 2007.this is definitely something that should be investigated before there are any serious accidents or loss of life as a result of this defect.this is something that should be recalled and replaced with a new sun visor.the passenger's side sun visor does not exhibit this behavior.this situation has happened to me numerous times.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds over a bump, the sun visor would fall down without assistance. The sun visor would remain in an upward position when secured with velcro straps. In addition, the passenger side air bag sensor would not function. While dispensing fuel the automatic nozzle clicked off continuously. There was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 06v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly). The vin was not included in the recall. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
My passenger side sunvisor falls down while i'm driving.
Driver side sun visor flips down to block drivers view. 2005 nissan murano.occurs daily.need repair.
Sun visors on 2005 nissan murano keeps falling down. Sun visors on the driver and passenger's side keep falling down, and will not stay up. I went to the nissan dealership and they said not covered under extended warranty and wants $350.00 dollars per sun visors ($700 plus tax) for the replacements.this is a driving hazard and nissan should not charge these ridiculous prices for replacement of their faulty parts.
In my 2005 nissan murano the sun visor wont stay up and continuously falls down while driving, instantly blocking my vision, and has almost caused many accidents. I have read over 300 complaints of the same issue from other nissan murano owners, and there are many more.
The driver side visor of my nissan murano keeps falling down while we're driving. It blocks the view suddenly and is a major safety danger. Nissan is refusing to support this.
Recently, the sun visor on our 2005 nissan murano started falling down suddenly while driving.this happens frequently - every few hundred feet on a paved, bumpy road. Smooth interstate lanes do not affect, but hit 1 bump and you'll have the visor in your face. This visor obstructs the view of anyone taller than 5'4" immediately.this car only has 58,500 miles on it.i took it to the nissan dealer, he said they'd seen this beforebut nissan did not cover replacement,the nissan price for the driver's side only for this visor was quoted at $380.00.he suggested i try a salvage yard or ebay to find one cheaper.as i went on-line to investigate, i found forum after forum of people who have experienced this same issue.response was mostly the same - no corrective measures were offered by nissan, many had replaced the visor- only to have the replacement fail as well.i felt this to be a manufacturing defect, so i filed a complaint on the nissan website.today they told me they weren't offering any adjustment or compensation on resolving this issue.that's when i expressed my dissatisfaction and told them i would be filing a complaint with you.i believe this to be a legitimate safety concern due to immediate and almost total view obstruction when the visor falls.even if the driver is short, it is an obvious distraction.must someone have a tragic accident before a manufacturer steps up to do the right thing?
I have a 2005 nissan murano and i am having to replace both sun visors. The driver side sun visor was the first to go and does not stay in any position except straight down... This is causing me to look under it and is very irritating as well as a seeing hazard. The passenger sun visor also will not stay in the up position but at least stays in the extended position against the windshield. Nissan says this is not their problem and it's not covered under my extended warranty. I have to fork out $253 a piece for these sun visors and clearly there is a problem.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While driving at 25 mph, the sun visor fell and blocked the drivers view. The contact stated that the sun visor would not stay in place. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. The current mileage was approximately 70,000.
Original owner, purchased new in 2005.the driver side visor will not stay in up position and must be held in place by other means .(i am currently using a bungee cord that is attached to the visor clip and ran across to the drivers side roof handle above window to hold the visor up so that i have adequate visibility through the front windshield).when attempting to reposition the visor in the up and lock position i heard a popping sound.after that, the visor has failed to stay locked in the up and flat position, keeping it flush against the interior roof.if not using another means to keep the visor up, it will remain in the down position and blocks drivers view.does not have the flexibility to remain at an angle to block sun, only hangs straight down.
I own a 2005 nissan murano.the sunvisor on the driver's side wouldn'tstay up and was right in my line of sight. I had it replaced and cost nearly $400.now the passenger side won't stay up either.the price has increased to nearly $500!!!this is a safety hazard and needs to be recalled by nissan.i can's safely drive the car with the sun visor always in the down position. I have tried velcro and it won't hold it up. I saw online there have been multiple complaints about this problem and nissan refuses to help any of their customers except to pay the cost of replacement.this is a safety issue and nissan needs to issue a recall on their sun visors.
Nissan murano 2005 sun visor fall down repeatedly, with bumps and movement of car, can block vision.
I own a 2005 nissan murano and have uncovered a vehicle defect that is a safety hazard.the sun visors are a defective design and keep flipping completely down and blocking the view through the windshield.in some of the most inopportune times, your vision gets completely blocked until you flip it back up.that is very dangerous in the snow, rain, heavy traffic, or at night.sometimes it can drop 2 - 3 times a minute. This is a problem on thousands of 2003 to 2007 muranos.replacing the sun visor is prohibitively expensive at $400 each and since this flaw has not been addressed at all by nissan, you are only replacing a defective visor with a new one that will become defective in a couple of years.i replaced my driver's side visor 2 years ago because of this defect and the replacement one is now dropping again.nissan has a tsb to replace the clip that holds the mirror side of the visor but that does not address the issue.the problem is a defective visor, not the clip. The visor shaft that inserts into the clip loosens inside the visor and rotates, and that is the defect.the weight of the visor easily overcomes any friction the shaft has inside the visor and down it comes.nissan refuses to do anything about this safety defect.they won't cover it on the extended warrantees. There should be a safety recall to address this safety hazard.is there anything that can be done except throw $400 to nissan every 2 - 3 years to replace each single visor with another defective one?the passenger side is also now dropping.nissan has recently raised the price considerably to gouge and capitalize on their poor design.right now i have the visor tie wrapped to the side handle and that makes the visor completely useless.if i replace both again, i will have spent $1200 so far on visors to only expect to replace them again in 2012-2013. $1200 is a ridiculous price for replacing defective visors with new defective ones. Please help if you can.
The driver's side sun visor on my '05 nissan murano won't stay up. It falls down while driving, creating a safety hazard. It seems that many murano owners are having the same problem, but nissan will not correct the issue. Replacement at the dealer will cost over $400.
Passenger-side sun visor will not stay in the up, stored position. It will fall at the slightest bump in the road. This also happened to the driver-side visor which has since been replaced.
My 2005 nissan murano's driver side visor will not stay in the up position.this causes problems with visibility while driving and is a safety hazard.the cost to replace is very high for such a small part.
I own a 2005 nissan murano and both sun visors keep falling.i've tried velcro and even glue but to no avail.these faulty visors are dangerous because they tend to fall when i am driving and momentarily obstruct my view.i've come close on a few occasions to hitting a vehicle in front of me because of this.the cost to replace these visors is exorbitant ($350 or more ea) and while researching where to buy them cheap or even a method of repair for this defect i've found that there are multiple nissan owners with this exact same problem.
Driver's side sun visor will not stay in the up position.visor constantly falls down obscuring my vision while driving.i have read hundreds of blogs and forums where this is happening to other murano owners.now the visor will not even stay up.i had to remove it.dealership wants 400$ to replace it.this is definitely a design flaw with this visor.nissan should issue a recall. This is a mechanical flaw inside the visor.
My sun visors, both the drivers side & passenger side, will not stay up.the dealer has replace the drivers side three times now & the passenger side 4 times and it works for awhile but then they fall down again.the drivers side visor is a real hazard as you can imagine!i believe there should be a recall on these.i logged onto a murano forum and found out it is happening a lot with other owners and almost all of them say it is not the visor itself but the clips they fit into.i think the dealer should have realized how many times they were replacing them and investigated it further for a permanent fix.
Driver's side sun visor will not remain in up during driving conditions.item will fall into down position and obstruct driver's view of road, other vehicles, and signage.this is not an isolated incident on bumpy roads; this has happened multiple times a day for the past 12 months, all on highway miles.
Driver side visor won't stay up. 350 dollars to replace. Large consumer issue.
2 incidents1)both driver and passenger side sun visors will not stay up completely causing issues during driving (falling into driver's view while driving).i have never had this issue with any other car i've owned (honda, ford, chevy, toyota).average replacement cost per visor is ~$200.00 which is a little steep.2)when car reached 104,000 miles, the driver's seat rear left bracket cracked.this occurred while making a right turn from a stop.date of occurrence is may 4, 2013.after researching this online, i found several nissan muranos have this issue.the left rear support was not designed for long term application and is a flawed design.i also found someone that welded their bracket together from youtube which may be the route i may take if a recall is not implemented.average replacement cost of driver's seat track assembly (heard they will not replace just the bracket) is ~$700.00.i also heard there have been accidents due to this design flaw, though cannot confirm.my hopes are you're looking into this.
The driver side visor in my 2005 nissan murano does not stay up and is causing a driving hazard. I have it held with velcro right now, but it does not word well and while driving will fall and block the entire front view. This is a known problem and it's very dangerous.
For no visible reason, the driver's side visor dropped down and could not be put back into place. It refuses to stay up. In the down position the view is cut in half and renders the vehicle unsafe for sustained driving. I believe this is a total manufacturer defect.
Drivers side sun visor falls down while in locked position and will no longer stay in the upright position.falls down while driving and obstructs view on daily basis since. After searching fixes for this problem this is a common complaint and needs immediate action.
Driver side sun visor does not stay in its place. It can and does fall out of the retaining mechanism, causing driver's view to be instantly obstructed.
Drivers side sun visor will not stay up - falls to middle.known safety hazard.nissan contacted. They will not pay to fix.
The driver's side sun visor falls down and will not stay up.this distracts the drivers ability to see and is a serious safety concern that will directly result in accidents.this is a common problem on this vehicle and an issue that has been reported by many murano owners.
The sun visor on this car will not stay in place in the "up" position and continually blocks my view of the road.it is a safety hazard.my research has shown that nissan is aware of this problem but will not voluntarily fix it.instead, they are charging $400 to repair this problem that almost every nissan murano has.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver and passenger side visors partially detached and were hanging down, obstructing the view of the driver. The dealer and manufacturer were contacted but offered no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The mileage was not known.
When lowered to block sun, driver side visor hangs in driver's line of sight and will not stay up when lowered.as such, when trying to block the sun, the driver has to look around or below the visor to see out of the front window. The visor will stay up against the roof of the vehicle, but when lowered to block sun it will hang in line of sight.passenger side visor will not go up at all and hangs in passenger's line of sight and partially blocks driver's line of sight.i had an extended warranty and was told by the dealer that the fix would not be covered for repair.
While driving on highway with 65 speed mph and the sunvisors just drop right on my head and cause me jump and almost loss control of my car. But luckily there was no other car at that time. This should be safety recall for nissan.
Issue with the sun visor on both sides.the passenger side has been falling for the past 6months and now the driver side is starting to fall.poor workmanship on the part of nissan and it should be corrected.
The driver's side visor of the vehicle constantly drops down without warning, causing viewing obstruction.it does not relate to road conditions (i.e. Bumps or off-roading), weather (happens regardless of hot, cold, or normal temperature), or any other factor.this appears to be an ongoing issue with countless vehicles affected.nissan needs to issue a recall and fix the problem at no cost to the consumer.when i asked a nissan dealership about it, i was told it was due to the wearing out of the mechanism and a new visor would be ~$300 (including a $30 labor charge, which is ridiculous considering i've taken apart the visor myself and put it back together and i am in no way mechanically inclined).velcro does not fix the problem as the lining of the interior of the car is cloth ~ the velcro does not stick sufficiently.trying to keep the visor in the down and left position (against the driver's window) blocks the view of traffic, as does keeping it in the down and forward (against the windshield) position.i essentially have to drive with my left hand constantly either on the visor or within reach of it in case it starts to drop, leaving me with one hand to drive and react.this is a major safety issue that nissan is fully aware of and refuses to acknowledge, which severely impacts my faith in their products.i have driven two other nissans (both frontiers) without issue; it appears this is only a murano issue.i would hate to have to give up my car, which i greatly love in every other way, but i cannot continue to jeopardize my own safety as well as that of my family with this problem.
Driving down the road at 45 mph making a turn and the right visor falls down causing poor visibility and a distraction during driving.this is a known malfunction for muranos and is a safety issue that needs to be addressed.
The nissan murano's sun visors drop down without warning and suddenly impede visibility as well as create a distraction to the driver.the visors never have been very secure but now the situation is a hazard and not just an inconvenience.
The contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the sun roof glass shattered and detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

Dt:the windshield is distorted.the glass is wavy, and it is hard to see out of. The windshieldthe problem was with the outer sides of the windshield.the consumer noticed the problem about two weeks after purchasing it.this occurred on april 5, 2005.when the consumer went to two different dealerships, he was advisedthat every vehicle of that year, make, and model had the same problem.when he contacted the manufacturer, they said that they were made that way.the contact states that the vehicle was supposed to be a4-wheel drive,but it is only an all wheel drive vehicle when the road is wet.
I would like to inform you that the windshield washer spray nozzle does not direct the fluid properly on the windshield. This is especially true for the passenger side of the vehicle. When spraying the washer fluid it hits very low on the windshield and does not allow any fluid to the upper half the glass. In fact it will hit the wiper arm first and this then blocks any additional fluid to hit during the first pass.also note the following observations. That when you driving at highway speed, the air flow over the hood directs the fluid to the lower half on both sides. This is dangerous during winter driving with snow and ice falling and on the road. Placement of the nozzles are in the wrong location. They get blocked by snow and ice. This also becomes a safety hazard. I have taken the vehicle in and they said nothing can be done about it. ''the nozzles can not be adjusted''. This is unacceptable. I do not know how many complaints you have received about this situation but from what i have seen on various web forums i am not the only one with this problem.are you aware of the problem and is their a fix for this problem?
While driving my car the rear passenger subframe busted, caused my car to pull left and right until i could get off to the side of the road safely. I was on a highway traveling about 60mph when this happened. I have contacted nissan about the subframe problem and they had me take it to a local dealer to be evaluated. Upon evaluation the total cost of having my rear subframe repaired is $5,022.37 invoice number on this quote is q7812. Nissan has a warranty extension on the 2002-2005 altima subframe, for 13 years and unlimited miles. Campaign p5216 and service bulletin ntb05-114b. Where my concern is,that my murano has the same subframe as the altima but nissan refuses to repair my vehicle. My vehicle had the exact same issue as the altima and could have killed or severely injured me while i was on that highway.
Car has a broken suspension and stabilization bar, car in previous accident not disclosed to buyer. Car should not be on road as it is very unsafe tires are spreading in a triangular dimension due to previous damage.
Subframe broke between the rear wheels while driving on city street. Mechanic inspected it and subframe is rusted from inside out. Mileage on the car is 150,000 miles and i am the first owner that took very good care of the car, from keeping it in my garage, to regular maintenance and car washing to prevent rust. Car is inoperable waiting for the part to come in for replacement for 6 days.nissan had a recall on this model for 2003-2007 year of manufacturing, however i had not received any notice.
